When he was at the third tribulation, the total amount of astral source in his four cyclones was comparable to the Second Nightking's.
Even a single cyclone was far more powerful than his peers. The Lu family's use of star energy and astral source far exceeded their peers'. Chu Yuan had cultivated to a level close to the Lu family's, but Lu Yin's astral source far exceeded the Lu family's. This was the reason why Chu Yuan, a Dao Disciple, doubted his own life.
Lu Yin's body recovered after the eruption of the First Sun, and one of his cyclones was filled. He rested for a few days, and when the time was right, he left the Timestop Space.
Next, he would cultivate the Sirius Art. Elder Gong's words constantly reminded him, and his passion for Sirius surged once more. He raised his hand, and his die appeared. Five pips, but he pursed his lips; it was useless. Just as he was about to roll the die again, he suddenly remembered that there were quite a few people in Mount Supreme.
Especially Liu Shaoge.
Liu Shaoge was the opponent that Lu Yin feared the most when he first stepped onto the path of cultivation. This person had gone from being an earthling with no resources to a high position in the Frigid Immortal Sect, and had even entered the eyes of a half-ancestor. He definitely wasn't simple, but Lu Yin had never been clear about Liu Shaoge's innate gift.
Lu Yin immediately took out Mount Supreme and entered.
Inside, Yu Chen, Liu Shaoge, and the others were all far away from each other and didn't interact much. They were all waiting for the day that Lu Yin would release them. To them, this place was like a prison.
Lu Yin entered the mountain and directly arrived in front of Liu Shaoge. Under Liu Shaoge's confused gaze, Lu Yin smacked his hand down.
Five pips meant that one had to come into contact with someone with an innate gift within ten seconds to borrow that person's innate gift. Seven seconds had already passed, and there were only three seconds left.
Lu Yin's smack was very slow, as he wanted to see how Liu Shaoge would react. Moreover, his hand was aimed directly at Liu Shaoge's head, and anyone would think that he was trying to kill him.
Liu Shaoge didn't react at all, and he just watched as Lu Yin smacked his own head with confusion.
Lu Yin pressed his hand against Liu Shaoge's head and stared into his eyes.
Liu Shaoge blinked. "Brother Lu, is this a joke?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed as he retracted his hand and looked deeply at Liu Shaoge. "Even a normal person would react to a palm strike aimed at their head, let alone someone with our relationship. Liu Shaoge, you remind me of when I first met you."
Liu Shaoge smiled bitterly. "What's there to react to? Brother Lu's strength is far above mine. If he wanted to kill me, even if I tried to dodge, it would be useless."
Lu Yin nodded. "That's right. If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't have been able to escape at all. But that's precisely why you're so terrifying." He paused for a moment and then stared at Liu Shaoge. "You've made the most effective decision in such a short amount of time. This is your instinctive judgment, and not everyone has your instincts. You give me a similar feeling as Nightking Zhenwu, but there are also some differences."
"He's extremely cautious. No matter how despicable or ruthless his methods are, he'll still kill his enemy and enjoy the process. You, on the other hand, only care about the results. The process and whether or not you enjoy it aren't important. You only care about the results."
Liu Shaoge took several steps back. This time, he was more vigilant as he could feel the killing intent in Lu Yin's words. "Brother Lu, we're not enemies, and we've already written off our past debts. We won't be enemies from now on. Killing someone who isn't an enemy isn't in Brother Lu's character."
Did Lu Yin want to kill Liu Shaoge?
If the two of them were evenly matched, then Liu Shaoge would.
However, right now, Lu Yin left Mount Supreme. "I want to see how far you can go. Don't worry, I'll let you go soon."
Liu Shaoge relaxed when he saw Lu Yin leave. His back was drenched in sweat as he looked at the ground in annoyance. He had been too careless.
He should have dodged like a normal person and remained vigilant. He shouldn't have acted the way he did just now. He could only blame Lu Yin for being too unexpected. Who would have thought that Lu Yin would suddenly attack him? Was he testing him or something?
Was he testing him for no reason?
Liu Shaoge couldn't figure out what Lu Yin's intentions were.
The difference between them was too great, and his life was in Lu Yin's hands. Why test him?
Not just Liu Shaoge, but even the Hui Ancestor couldn't figure out why Lu Yin would do such a thing.
Lu Yin had purely come up with a sudden idea. He wanted to use his die's Enhance to borrow Liu Shaoge's innate gift. Since he was going to fight Liu Shaoge anyway, he might as well test him. It was just a coincidence, but many things in this world were caused by coincidences.
Liu Shaoge's test gave Lu Yin a strange idea. If the Eternals could plant spies among the humans, then why couldn't the humans plant spies among the Eternals as well?
After all, the Eternals weren't all made up of Corpse Kings. In the Seven Skygods, the Forgotten Ruins God seemed to be a human.
Hold on, he thought of something else. If he really wanted to plant a spy among the Eternals, the Xia family would be the best choice because of the Nine Clones Technique.
No one knew who in the Xia family had cultivated the technique. If someone from the Xia family submitted a clone to the Eternals, even if it was transformed into a Corpse King, it might still be possible to become a spy.
That's right, why hadn't he thought of this before?
Was there really a spy among the Eternals?
If Lu Yin could come up with such an idea, then how could the calculative Patriarch Hui not have thought of it?
Lu Yin etched this idea deep into his heart, and he looked at his die. There was a symbol on the die's Enhance that looked like a sun, but he didn't know what innate gift this symbol represented.
He continued to roll his die, and this time, he rolled three Enhance. No, he continued. The fourth time, he got one Enhance. There was a thump, and a slipper fell out. Lu Yin's face twitched. A slipper?
He hadn't seen wrongly; it was indeed a slipper that had fallen to the ground. It was a very ordinary slipper, and there were even black footprints on it. This disgusted Lu Yin. Who would hide a slipper in their cosmic ring?
Were they afraid of losing it?
Lu Yin was annoyed, and he looked at it with disgust. He casually waved his hand and sent the slipper flying, but it wasn't damaged.
Lu Yin was flabbergasted, and he waved his hand again. This time, he used a bit more strength, the kind that even a Hunter wouldn't be able to withstand. However, the slipper was only sent flying by the enormous force, and it remained undamaged. Even the black footprints weren't damaged in the slightest.
This wasn't right. How could a slipper block the strength of a Hunter?
Lu Yin didn't believe this, and he struck out with his palm. This time, it was an empty palm strike, which was enough to kill an Enlighter.
However, the slipper was still unharmed, and it was sent flying as well. It fell to the ground, and the footprints looked at Lu Yin as if they were mocking him.
Lu Yin's expression turned solemn as he picked up the slipper and exerted some strength. The slipper was distorted, but it remained undamaged. Lu Yin exerted more strength, and he even visualized the Immovable Heavenly King Elephant. He didn't believe that a mere slipper could withstand the destructive force of someone with a power level of over a million.
This slipper was clearly not ordinary, and it should be a foreign object or a power vessel. Even so, Lu Yin didn't plan on using it. How could he use a single slipper?
He was just curious as to what kind of tearing force this thing could withstand.
However, even when Lu Yin visualized the Immovable Heavenly King Elephant and used a force that even a powerhouse with a power level of over a million might not be able to withstand, the slipper remained undamaged and incomparably sturdy.
Lu Yin didn't understand, and his eyes turned into runes as he stared at the slipper. There weren't any rune lines, so what was going on?
He picked up the slipper and slammed it against the ground.
His surroundings trembled, and a howl sounded out as the ground shook violently.
Lu Yin was shocked; he had been cultivating on the Ancestral Turtle's back, and he hadn't misheard that howl. Could it have been the Ancestral Turtle? Lu Yin was stunned; the slipper didn't seem to have much power, but how could it have caused the Ancestral Turtle to howl?
Outside, many Mavis clansmen grabbed onto the things around them in fear. The Ancestral Turtle jumped up and down as if someone had stepped on its tail, its huge eyes rolling around as tears streamed down its cheeks. It was in pain; who had hit it?
It was so painful, so painful! The Ancestral Turtle hadn't felt such pain in a long time, and it wasn't used to it.
It turned its neck and stared at its back, where Lu Yin was cultivating. It had been whipped, and it was in so much pain.
On the Divine Tree, River Mavis grabbed onto a tree trunk, "What's wrong with the Ancestral Turtle?"
She was at a loss, "I don't know, something like this has never happened before. Lord Ancestral Turtle is watching over here."
River Mavis's eyes lit up, "I know, it must have sensed the appearance of a dao child and wants to recognize me as its master."
She had nothing to say to River Mavis; this woman had a fiery temper and was also narcissistic and arrogant, making her difficult to communicate with.
Cloudshadow and the rest of the Mavis clansmen appeared in front of the Ancestral Turtle, constantly comforting it. Tears rolled down the Ancestral Turtle's cheeks; it was in so much pain.
Many people in the outside world saw the Ancestral Turtle jumping up and down, especially Lu Buzheng. He was afraid that the Ancestral Turtle would accidentally crush the Earth.
Lu Yin blinked in his seclusion room. Was it really the Ancestral Turtle's howl?
He decided to try again; perhaps it was just a coincidence.
After all, it was just a slipper. He then slapped the ground again.
The Ancestral Turtle opened its mouth wide and howled again. It jumped up and down, rampaging through the Frostwave Weave. It was in so much pain.
On its back, the Divine Tree was bent left and right from the shaking.
The Mavis clansmen were shocked and hurriedly comforted the Ancestral Turtle.
The Ancestral Turtle felt wronged; who had it offended?
The more it thought about it, the more wronged it felt. All it wanted to do was sleep, and it howled again. It hadn't made a sound in many, many years.
The Ancestral Turtle's strange behavior attracted the attention of the Human Domain, and Hen Xin, Jue Yi, and the others all focused on the Outerverse.
The Ancestral Turtle's existence was one of their weapons against the Eternals. Had the Mavis Family done something?
Many people thought of River Mavis; before she had appeared, the Ancestral Turtle had not made any strange movements. Even the Ancient Gods could not do anything to it.
No one knew what had happened to the Ancestral Turtle.
Even Lu Buzheng could not guess that it had something to do with Lu Yin. Even he could not harm the Ancestral Turtle, which meant that it was clearly in pain.
"Could it have …
Is it spring? "
Kui Luo muttered to himself when he returned and saw the Ancestral Turtle with tears rolling down its cheeks.
Lu Buzheng was speechless.
Spring was not like that either. Right, what if this thing had …
What about spring?
Where would they find another giant turtle?
"That brat Lu Yin is back?
Where is he? "
Kui Luo asked.
Lu Buzheng replied, "He's in seclusion on the Ancestral Turtle's back."
Kui Luo was stunned and pointed at the Ancestral Turtle. "You mean, he's on its back?"
Lu Buzheng nodded. "I hope the Ancestral Turtle's strange behavior doesn't affect him."
