He stepped into the ruins of the Dark Tower, hoping to find the monkey.
There was a soft sound, and Lu Yin stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around. A figure walked out from the corner of the ruins.
Lu Yin's expression changed as he stared at the figure in shock. "Undying Yushan."
The person who had appeared was none other than Undying Yushan, a person who had once been presumed dead but who had been repeatedly mentioned.
When Lu Yin had merged with the Corpse King's body, he had seen Undying Yushan enter the Dark Tower. He knew that the man was still alive, but he had not expected that he would still be in the Eternal Kingdom.
Undying Yushan walked out and looked at Lu Yin with a sigh. "Kid, you've grown up. What should you call me?"
Lu Yin looked at him with a complicated expression. "Your Majesty."
Undying Yushan nodded, gratified. "I never thought that someone from a small planet in the Outerverse would reach such heights. I'm very happy."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Truthfully, Undying Yushan had treated him well, very well. When he had first arrived in the Great Yu Empire from Earth, Undying Yushan had treated him like an elder. After interacting with him several times, Lu Yin had begun to think of Undying Yushan as someone he could confide in. He couldn't be considered family since his identity as a member of the Zishan family was fake, but he still felt gratitude and respect for Undying Yushan.
When news of Undying Yushan's death at the hands of the Neohuman Alliance had spread, Lu Yin had been both furious and heartbroken. Undying Yushan had even given him a copy of the Yu Secret Art, which was a secret technique. At that moment, Lu Yin had truly felt like family to Undying Yushan.
However, with Ku Wei's appearance, Undying Yushan's life and death had become a mystery. Lu Yin's impression of the man had gradually changed, especially after seeing Ku Wei enter and leave the Eternal Kingdom. He no longer had the same respect for Undying Yushan, only vigilance and caution.
"Isn't Your Majesty dead?
Why are you here? "Lu Yin asked.
Undying Yushan smiled at Lu Yin. "What are you thinking?"
Lu Yin clenched his fists. "Your Majesty, you betrayed humanity."
Undying Yushan laughed. "That's a normal thought, but I can tell you that I didn't."
Lu Yin raised his brows.
Undying Yushan sincerely replied, "Your Majesty did not betray humanity. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future."
Lu Yin sneered. "That's enough, Your Majesty. How could you safely stay in the Eternal Kingdom if you didn't betray humanity? Don't tell me that the Seven Skygods' hospitality.."
Undying Yushan calmly replied, "When people interact with each other, there are only feelings and benefits. The only reason I'm able to stay safely in the Eternal Kingdom is because of my own benefits, and my greatest benefit is you."
Undying Yushan to....
Undying Yushan sized Lu Yin up as if he was looking at a peerless treasure. "If we're talking about the Fifth Mainland, then the most valuable thing is not the territory, battle techniques, or even the Envoys or Half-Ancestors. It's you. You're the most valuable thing here. My value to the Seven Skygods is you. From now on, you will be used by me." After he finished speaking, Undying Yushan's expression changed and became incomparably gloomy.
Lu Yin did not know what he had done, but he felt a splitting headache that came from his spiritual force.
"Liuying Zishan's essence has been absorbed by you. Then, you'll become a part of the Undying Manual!" Undying Yushan barked as he pressed down on Lu Yin.
Lu Yin suddenly recited the Primogenitor's Scripture, and the faint voice traveled through time. Undying Yushan howled as his entire body melted away. He could not believe it. "How is this possible? How can you resist the Undying Manual's enslavement?"
Lu Yin stared at Undying Yushan. "So it's the Undying Manual.
You actually cultivated it. With it, you can control essence. Back in Kun's Swamp, you used essence to plan the rebellion. "
Undying Yushan clutched his head and howled. He gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Yin. "So it was you. You killed Cripple."
Lu Yin grabbed Undying Yushan's neck, but his hand passed through. His expression changed. "This isn't your true body?"
Undying Yushan laughed bitterly. "Of course not. This is the Eternal Kingdom. How could my true body appear here? Kid, don't think that you can escape from the Undying Manual. Impossible, never. You don't know how terrifying the Undying Manual is. One day, you'll become its slave." His body then exploded.
There was no flesh or blood, only essence scattered in all directions.
Lu Yin could have absorbed this essence, but he did not. He was full of misgivings.
If not for the Primogenitor's Scripture, he would have been controlled.
So it was the Undying Manual. Undying Yushan had really cultivated it.
"A body of essence, essence, and spirit. What a strange technique." The head inquisitor's voice came from behind.
Lu Yin turned around and faced the head inquisitor with a solemn expression. "He's Undying Yushan, and he cultivated the Undying Manual. He can use essence to control others and split them into millions."
The head inquisitor was shocked. "The Undying Manual from the Starfall Sea's legendary technique?"
Lu Yin nodded.
"When the Undying Manual first appeared, the Hall of Honor sent people to search for it, but they couldn't find it. It was rumored that someone from the Outerverse obtained it, and they called them the Undying Duo. It must be him."
Lu Yin hadn't expected the head inquisitor to have heard of the Undying Duo. "Senior, is the Undying Manual really that mysterious?
Even you care about it? "
"When the Undying Manual first appeared, it was rumored that cultivating this technique would grant one eternal life."
Lu Yin laughed. "It seems that many people believe it. The Mavis Clan, the Specter Clan, and the Seven Courts all sent people to the Great Yu Empire in search of the Undying Manual, but they couldn't find it."
"It is indeed mysterious, but eternal life is too absurd. Even Progenitors don't have eternal life," the head inquisitor said as the ground beneath his feet cracked open and his body plummeted to the ground.
The stronger someone was, the less they believed in this so-called eternal life. Otherwise, how could Undying Yushan have safely returned to the Great Yu Empire?
Lu Yin hurriedly followed him. It seemed that his senior had discovered something.
This was a parallel space-time, but it wasn't the same as the entire universe. There was only one Eternal Kingdom in this parallel space-time.
As the head inquisitor's body descended, the ground beneath Eternal Kingdom continued to crack open. Finally, a squarish object appeared at the end of the earth. It looked like a rock or a piece of metal, and there was nothing special about it. However, it wasn't torn apart by the head inquisitor's strength.
The head inquisitor descended into the depths of the earth, and further down was the boundless darkness of space. They had arrived at the very bottom of Eternal Kingdom.
Lu Yin looked at the squarish object floating in the void and sized it up curiously. "Senior, what is this?"
"The foundation."
Lu Yin was shocked. "The foundation of Eternal Kingdom?
That's it? "
"Because of it, the corpse kings were able to find the coordinates of Eternal Kingdom."
Lu Yin sized up the squarish object. "This is a seal, right? There seems to be some words carved on it."
"Senior, do you recognize this word?"
"No."
"You don't even recognize it?" Lu Yin was shocked.
The head inquisitor put the seal away.
"Let's go." "Wait." Lu Yin hurriedly stopped the head inquisitor. "Senior, if you take this away, we won't be able to find Eternal Kingdom."
"Yes."
"Then what about the death energy?"
The head inquisitor fell silent.
Lu Yin licked his lips and smiled. "Um, Senior Brother, can I just leave this thing here?
It's probably just a foundation, so it's useless for you to take it away. Why don't you leave it here so that I can come here to replenish my death energy in the future? You can take it away when I've finished absorbing all of it. How about that? "
He then nervously looked at the black fog that enveloped the head inquisitor.
The seal floated out of the black fog, and Lu Yin happily accepted it.
"Thank you, senior. By the way, how do I use this to find Eternal Kingdom?"
"Leave your own aura on it."
"Aura?"
"Blood. Traces of a technique. The stronger the aura, the better. It's like a carrier that preserves the coordinates. Once you leave your aura behind, you'll be able to sense it in the boundless parallel space-time. Before that, you'll have to erase the original aura."
"How do I erase it?"
Lu Yin didn't understand.
The head inquisitor took the seal away again, and after a while, it floated out.
Lu Yin took it, and it didn't look any different from before. However, it was much cleaner. Someone must have left their aura, blood, or battle techniques on it, but Lu Yin couldn't think of a way to erase it. Blood was fine, but he couldn't do anything about battle techniques. Thankfully, he had this senior.
The head inquisitor left, and Lu Yin looked at the seal in his hand, especially the words at the bottom. He didn't recognize them, but they seemed even more ancient than the Wen family's Literary Prison. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the head inquisitor to not recognize them. Right, the Second Nightking had been around for a long time, so he could take a look. However, if the head inquisitor didn't recognize them, the chances of the Second Nightking recognizing them were slim.
But what could he leave behind?
Blood?
No, the Lu family's blood was extraordinary, and it was from the Everlasting Tribe. Who knew what it could do? The head inquisitor was indeed powerful, but he was only comparable to a Half-Ancestor at best. There were many things that he didn't understand.
If blood didn't work, then it could only be a battle technique.
Lu Yin thought about it for a moment before raising his hand. Death qi gathered in his palm and boiled before covering his face. This was Death Mask. After absorbing the death qi, Lu Yin had seen the Death God's face, which was a fake face. At that moment, not only did he know the word, but he also knew how to use it.
Death Mask could cover one's face with death qi, but it could also change one's appearance.
This was the ability that Lu Yin had been looking forward to the most. It was the Death God's battle technique, and he didn't know who would be able to see it clearly.
This was his first time using Death Mask, so he wasn't too familiar with it. Death Mask wasn't easy to use since it was the Death God's battle technique, and it required a high degree of control over death qi. It also had to be fixed on one's face without anyone being able to see it.
Lu Yin continuously used Death Mask for a full ten hours, but he still couldn't fully use it.
Left with no other choice, he slammed his palm against the seal and left behind his own aura. He then tossed the seal to the bottom of the Kingdom of Eternity and continued using it as the foundation. From now on, this would be his personal territory.
Lu Yin walked out of the Kingdom of Eternity and saw that the head inquisitor had already left with the Hall of Honor. The Corpse King had been destroyed, and Mister Feng had been taken away. No one knew if he was still alive or not. The ordinary people who had been kept captive in the Kingdom of Eternity had also been taken away.
All of the Kingdom of Eternity was silent, and there wasn't a single trace of life.
Underground, the death qi was as thick as a sea.
