Xia Meng's words surprised Lu Yin. Very few people in the Neoverse cared about the life and death of the Outerverse's people. There were even some people who didn't even know about the existence of the Outerverse. To them, the Innerverse and Outerverse were the same. He hadn't expected that this beautiful woman with a power level close to a million would actually care.
Not everyone in the cultivation world was cold-blooded.
After leaving the Summer Blade Continent, Lu Yin followed the Second Nightking to Wanxiang Mountain. How could he not look for Brother Hui Kong when he came to the Seven Courts?
When Lu Yin appeared outside Wanxiang Mountain, Hui Kong's hearty laughter rang out before the Second Nightking could even knock on the door.
"Brother Lu, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Hahahaha!"
Lu Yin was pleasantly surprised when he saw a shiny bald head. He hurried forward, "Brother, is this your home?"
Hui Kong patted his chest, "Of course, Wanxiang Mountain is your home."
Lu Yin laughed.
Aside from Hui Kong, many others came out to welcome him.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Hui Zhi, the leader of the Hui family," Hui Kong said as he pointed to a scholarly man behind him.
Lu Yin smiled, "We meet again, Patriarch Hui Zhi." When Lu Yin had been brought out of Progenitor Chen's tomb, he had met the leaders of the Seven Courts, and Hui Zhi had been one of them.
Hui Zhi chuckled, but just as he was about to say something, Hui Kong interrupted him, "That's Hui Chi, an elder of the Hui family."
Lu Yin saw that Hui Zhi was about to speak, but then Hui Kong introduced another elder, and he didn't know who to respond to.
Hui Zhi was helpless, "Alliance Master Lu, Elder Hui Chi is very curious about you."
Lu Yin was surprised, and he looked at Hui Chi, "Why is the elder curious about me?"
Hui Chi was an old man, and he had the same scholarly aura as Hui Zhi. However, due to his age, he seemed more benevolent, "I'm in charge of planting wisdom roots at Wanxiang Mountain. I heard that Alliance Master Lu is very interested in wisdom roots, so I wanted to ask if Alliance Master Lu has eaten a true wisdom root before?"
Wisdom roots were absolute treasures to the Hui family. Hui Chi wasn't the only one who was curious; everyone in the family was as well.
Lu Yin didn't hide it, "I have, and more than once."
Hui Kong was shocked, and he patted Lu Yin's shoulder, "Brother, I know that you've eaten wisdom roots before, but you didn't say that it's more than once."
Lu Yin shrugged. "Bro, you didn't ask. I forgot."
Hui Kong laughed heartily. "However, Brother, it's also a stroke of luck that you were able to obtain the Wisdom Root. I wasn't wrong, you are indeed very talented."
Hui Zhi was speechless. Was this related to talent?
Hui Chi hurriedly asked, "Alliance Master Lu, may I know where your wisdom came from?"
Lu Yin replied, "One of them was obtained by unlocking a sourcebox, and the other came from another region of space. The third one is someone called Little Can." He had concealed the fact that Mister Mu had gifted him a wisdom root, as he could not explain Mister Mu's identity.
Hui Zhi was surprised. "Another starry sky?
Xiao Can?
What's your surname? "
Lu Yin shrugged. "I know that you want to know if he's a descendant of the Hui Ancestor from another part of the universe, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out."
Huizhi felt regretful.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's go, brother. I'll show you around the Ten Thousand Elephant Mountain." Hui Kong grabbed Lu Yin's shoulder and led him into the depths of the mountain.
Behind them, Hui Santong and the others were speechless. They hadn't even been introduced yet.
Since he wasn't going to introduce them, why did he ask them to come out?
This was especially true for Hui Santong, who was of the same generation as Lu Yin.
Ten Thousand Elephant Mountain
It was enormous, and although it was called a mountain, it was just a name. It was more like a name given to the Hui family's secret technique.
"Brother, let me tell you something. When I left the Hui family, there was still an ancestor alive. That old man was of the same generation as Xia Ji, and he had almost broken through to become a half-step Ancestor. Unfortunately, he died. Now, you are the Hui family's most senior member."
"Look at the current state of the Hui family. The patriarch isn't even an Emissary, and the elders are only at three Origin Tribulations. Even they can't beat you. What a joke."
"Brother, look at this wisdom root. It's been planted in a mess."
…
Lu Yin followed Hui Kong around the Ten Thousand Elephant Mountain. Along the way, all of the Hui family's cultivators bowed to them, which made Lu Yin feel embarrassed.
However, he was still most interested in the wisdom root.
The planting of wisdom roots was spectacular, and one couldn't see the end of it. They were planted in the soil, and if not for Hui Kong's introduction, Lu Yin wouldn't have known that wisdom roots were planted there.
"Every year, the Hui family sells a lot of wisdom roots to the outside world, but they aren't very valuable. You've already used them. Aside from calming your heart, they aren't very useful. Fortunately, some cultivators just can't calm their hearts. Otherwise, the Hui family wouldn't have any source of income, unlike the Mavis Clan, where their toilets are filled with star essence."
"Brother, can we only absorb astral sources through the Astral Source Universe?"
Lu Yin suddenly asked as he looked at the spectacular planting of wisdom roots.
Hui Kong nodded. "Yes." He then looked at Lu Yin. "I heard that your Origin Tribulations were so freakish that even Progenitor Chen appeared?"
Lu Yin smiled bitterly and told him about his tribulation. Of course, he had to hide the four astral source cyclones. It wasn't that he didn't trust Hui Kong, but that there were some things that couldn't be revealed, and there was no need to.
"How ruthless. You forcefully sucked out an Origin Tribulations, and even a Progenitor was alerted. Brother, your future won't be too good." Hui Kong sighed.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "There's no other way. I can only take it slow."
Hui Kong was helpless. "I can't help you with this, but it's a good thing that your strength is outstanding. You were able to deal with someone like Hui Chi when you were an Enlighter, and now, you should be able to fight against someone with a power level of over 800,000."
"Pretty much."
Hui Kong smiled. "Then that's fine. After so many years, I've only comprehended one principle, which is to adapt to the circumstances. Don't force things, don't chase after them, and take it slow. Opportunities are destined by the heavens, and who knows if everyone's path of cultivation is predestined."
Lu Yin looked at Hui Kong strangely. "Brother, your words are very strange."
Hui Kong looked up and sighed. "When I first stepped onto the path of cultivation, I thought that the Explorer realm was the peak. However, when I became an Explorer, I realized that there were still Emissaries above me. Finally, one day, when I became an Emissary, I realized that the Progenitor realm was far beyond my reach. Then, who knows if there are still realms above you when you become a Progenitor?"
"As long as you're happy in your life, why force it? Is being a Progenitor happy?
Can you live forever?
Then why did Enigma Progenitor betray you?
Where are Progenitor Chen, Talisman Progenitor, and Hui Progenitor?
The longer I cultivate, the more I realize that I can't see through this universe. Since that's the case, I might as well play around. "
Every generation of the Hui family was intelligent, but Hui Kong was carefree and carefree. He seemed to be heartless, but in reality, this was another kind of intelligence. Great wisdom pretended to be foolish, and only by seeing through everything could one live a better life.
Hui Kong had become a powerhouse with a power level of over a million, and when he saw Lu Yin, he recognized him as his brother. He had broken away from all the restraints of interacting with others and did not care about status, seniority, age, or cultivation realm. He only cared about sharing his heart with others. This was Hui Kong.
He might not have lived the longest, but he was the happiest.
。
Even in the Technocracy, he could live peacefully.
"If you don't want to force it, then why do you have to find out why Progenitor Hui created the Technocracy?"
"Everyone has their own hobbies. Some like to eat, and some like to lust. I just want to find out what's going on, hahahaha."
Lu Yin stayed at Wanxiang Mountain for a few days, and on the other side, the Ku family was burning with anxiety.
Back when Lu Yin had taken Ku Lei away through Mount Supreme, he had told the family about how things could develop in the opposite direction when they reached an extreme, which had shaken the entire Ku family.
Outsiders did not understand Progenitor Ku, nor did they care that things could develop in the opposite direction when they reached an extreme. However, the Ku family did, and they knew that things could develop in the opposite direction when they reached an extreme.
However, Ku Pu was not stupid. He knew that the Wen family was under Lu Yin's control, and he did not want to be as passive as the Wen family. Thus, he had endured and not contacted Lu Yin.
However, he had not endured for long before contacting Lu Yin. They were the passive party, and there was no point in enduring.
Even so, Lu Yin was not anxious. Just like how he had kept the Wen family in suspense, he was now keeping the Ku family in suspense as well.
Lu Yin was becoming more and more adept at keeping others in suspense.
At the moment, Lu Yin was at Wanxiang Mountain, which was not far from the Land of Spirit Void. Ku Pu thought about it for a long time before finally contacting Lu Yin and inviting him to the Ku family as a guest.
Lu Yin's lips curled up when he saw Ku Pu's call, as he had been waiting for Ku Pu to contact him.
"What is it, Patriarch Ku Pu?" Lu Yin picked up.
Ku Pu smiled and pretended to be relaxed. "Alliance Master Lu, I heard that you went to Wanxiang Mountain as a guest?"
"Yes, Brother Hui Kong invited me a few times, and I happened to pass by the southern border, so I decided to come."
"My family's Land of Spirit Void is not far from Wanxiang Mountain, so I formally invite Alliance Master Lu to my family as a guest. Will you give me face?" Ku Pu smiled.
Lu Yin replied, "Of course. How can I refuse an invitation from Patriarch Ku Pu? I'll head over as soon as possible."
"In that case, I'll wait for Alliance Master Lu. The Ku family will definitely welcome you." Ku Pu then ended the call.
Lu Yin let out a long sigh.
"Ku Pu?
The Ku family's patriarch? "Hui Kong had heard the call. They were currently tasting Wisdom Root tea.
Lu Yin nodded. "That's him."
"Ku Pu invited you to the Land of Spirit Void as a guest?
That doesn't seem like the Ku family. "Hui Kong was puzzled.
Lu Yin was pleased. "I have something they need."
Hui Kong understood. "No wonder. The Ku family has always been closed off, but they're also arrogant and rarely take the initiative to invite others as guests. Brother, you should be careful when it comes to the Ku family."
"What's wrong?" Lu Yin did not understand.
Hui Kong muttered to himself, "The Ku family is not simple. I remember that old guy saying that he'd heard Ancestor Hui mention Ku Pu before. He said that Ku Pu was not simple and that anyone who underestimated him would be unlucky. Right, I remember something else, but I forgot. Let me think."
Lu Yin was not in a hurry. "Brother, have some tea."
He obviously knew that Ku Pu was not simple, but he had not thought that he would be able to learn something from Hui Kong.
"Oh, right." Hui Kong slammed the table. "I remember now. That old guy heard Ancestor Hui mention something. Anyone can die, but Ku Pu is the least likely."
Lu Yin's gaze froze. "What does that mean?"
Hui Kong shook his head. "I don't know. That old guy only said that. We weren't interested in Ku Pu at the time, so we didn't ask. If you hadn't wanted to go to the Ku family, I wouldn't have remembered."
