She looked at Lu Yin with a burning gaze. "That's just a power vessel that Fate cultivates. I've seen it before I was sealed, and it's not that rare. However, it can be used to interact with Fate. I heard that Lu Daozi has collected quite a bit of Fatesand. Do you want to interact with Fate?"
"Where's Fate?"
Lu Yin asked.
She smiled bitterly. "How could I know where Fate is? If Lu Daozi is willing, you can give me the Fatesand. Once I gather all of it, I might be able to calculate Fate's whereabouts. Of course, I might not succeed."
How could he give her the Fatesand? Even if Lu Yin was willing, he couldn't give it to her. The specks of Fatesand surrounded by the two commas were the disintegrated Fatesand.
He panicked a little when he thought about it; would she be able to tell that he had disintegrated the Fatesand?
She made it sound easy, but how could something that could interact with Fate be simple? Perhaps this thing was Fate's most precious power vessel.
Actually, he couldn't be blamed, as he had been stabbed by a sword. He didn't have the ability to disintegrate the Fatesand. Wait, he thought about his die's Enhance.
He didn't seem to be able to do it, so he quickly told her to leave.
After she left, the person Lu Yin had been waiting for arrived: Zhao Ran.
After twenty years, he had gone into seclusion to cultivate as soon as he returned. There were many things to deal with and many people to meet, and Zhao Ran was definitely one of the most important people.
"Your Highness, you're back." Zhao Ran was happy to see Lu Yin, but she also felt a little wronged. "Without you, there's no one to drink the flower tea." She took out a dark green cup from her cosmic ring. There was a plant that looked like a centipede inside, but it was unknown what it was. She handed it to Lu Yin as if she was presenting a treasure. "Your Highness, I prepared this especially for you."
Lu Yin's mouth twitched, and he looked at her expectant gaze. He couldn't bear to reject her, but he still put it down. "Zhao Ran, do you still remember me?"
Zhao Ran happily replied, "Yes, Your Highness was the one who took me in. Every once in a while, I would look at my gadget and jade to record my memories. Your Highness is the best to me."
"Then, do you remember someone called Ku Jie?"
Zhao Ran was confused.
Zhao Ran was confused. "What do you mean?"
Lu Yin looked at Zhao Ran. Her gaze was magnanimous, but there was also a hint of confusion and bewilderment. It was exactly the same as the symptoms of amnesia. "Ah, Your Highness, the flower tea is getting cold. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Lu Yin's brows twitched, and he looked around to see that there was no one around to share his burden. He picked up the tea again, and his pupils couldn't help but transform into runes to take a closer look. When he saw that there were no rune lines, he heaved a sigh of relief. There wasn't a living creature inside, but rather a creature made up of tea leaves that looked like a centipede. This brat always made her tea terrifying.
Withered Ancestor had experienced this before.
Under Zhao Ran's expectant gaze, he finally took a sip. The taste was even better than before, with a faint bitterness and an indescribable taste that made him feel refreshed. "Delicious."
Zhao Ran was overjoyed. "Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness, I've researched many types of flower teas. Would you like some?
I'll prepare them right away. "She then ran off without waiting for Lu Yin's reply.
No matter how much time had passed, Zhao Ran was exactly the same as when Lu Yin had first met her twenty years ago. She had nothing on her mind, and she only wanted to brew tea. She had even forgotten to hand over the gifts that others had sent her.
Lu Yin shook his head. She probably didn't remember. What exactly was her relationship with Withered Ancestor?
What was their relationship?
And what Withered Ancestor had said, who was the person she was waiting for in her life?
To be able to accompany Withered Ancestor meant that Zhao Ran's background was definitely not simple. Right, she seemed to always be able to find Xuan Jiu.
After meeting Zhao Ran, the next person Lu Yin wanted to meet was naturally Xi Qi, the fish on top of his head.
When Xi Qi saw Lu Yin, she still had an apprehensive look on her face, but she was also very happy. Lu Yin was an acquaintance of hers, and they had known each other since the beginning. Back then, her lockbreaking ability had been higher than Lu Yin's, and Lu Yin had seen the process of Xi Qi unlocking the fish when he had watched a lockbreaking video.
"Brother Lu," Xi Qi greeted softly as she looked at Lu Yin with bright eyes. Every time she saw him, he would change, and this time, he was even more powerful. Even half-ancestors had to listen to him; he was truly a legend of this era.
Over the past twenty years, she had heard many legends about the Above Heaven Sect, but she still didn't believe that anyone could surpass Lu Yin. He was a living legend, and even in the entire Above Heaven Sect, he was still a legend.
Pa!
"Yo, two-legged beast, we meet again. What, are you thinking of becoming Lord Fish's mount?
Let me tell you, it's too late. The number of two-legged beasts who want to be Lord Fish's mount can fill the sky. They'll wait until you die, "the fish said, its fins flapping up and down, causing Xi Qi to feel pain.
Lu Yin was speechless. How could it still be like this? It had been a few decades, and Xi Qi had already trained her Iron Head Technique. "Long time no see, I-" Before Lu Yin could finish, the fish raised its tail and pointed at him. "But Lord Fish likes you, and you're even a two-legged beast. It'll let you cut in line. Girl, hurry up and give up your spot. Lord Fish is now this two-legged beast's master, and you're such a disappointment that Lord Fish will die of anger."
Xi Qi panicked and hurriedly covered the fish's mouth. "Lower your voice, Brother Lu will stew you if he gets angry."
The fish jumped up and down, constantly slapping Xi Qi's head. Xi Qi's expression was gloomy, and she felt extremely wronged.
"Let it go. It's been so many years, and I understand it. It won't get angry," Lu Yin smiled.
Xi Qi relaxed and apologized softly, "I'm sorry, Brother Lu. It's been so many years, and its temper has gotten worse."
Lu Yin looked at the fish, and the fish stared back. "Oh, isn't this the two-legged beast? We meet again. Come and pay your respects to Lord Fish. If it's in a good mood, it might even help you break through."
Lu Yin retracted his gaze. Fish's memories were short, and this despicable fish's memories were even shorter. It had forgotten what had just happened so quickly, but it still remembered that it had seen Lu Yin. "I saw a fish once. It was very big, very big."
"Can it be as big as one of Lord Fish's scales?"
The fish was proud.
Lu Yin seriously replied, "Of course, it's much bigger."
The fish was unhappy. "Two-legged beast, you haven't seen Lord Fish's true body. Let me tell you, Lord Fish can swallow the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, stars, and the universe. At its most domineering, it even bit a mother tree. Eh?
What mother tree?
Where did this mother tree come from?
Lord Fish bit a tree?
When did it? "
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "That fish dared to play with a divine hawk that roamed the stars and made a scene in the progenitor's back garden."
"Nonsense, stupid two-legged beast. Aside from Lord Fish, who would dare play with that stupid bird? Wait, what bird?
Stupid bird?
Little bird?
Yes, little bird. Where's that little bird?
Come on, Lord Fish will kill you. Come on, if you want to catch Lord Fish, Lord Fish will slap you to death with its tail. Come on … "
Xi Qi's ears hurt from the noise, and she quickly covered the fish's mouth.
Lu Yin stared at the fish in shock. These words were similar to the battleship fish that had confronted the divine hawk in the progenitor's back garden.
They were exactly the same. He had thought that this fish might be a descendant of that battleship fish, but he suddenly had a strange conjecture. It couldn't be that fish, could it?!
It wasn't impossible, as Chu Yuan and the others had also come from the Above Heaven era and had been unlocked. This fish had also been unlocked by Xi Qi.
If that was the case, then it should be the legendary battleship fish in the Cosmic Tree that could stand on the same level as the Ancestral Mang Divine Hawk. Just thinking about it made Lu Yin gasp.
Lu Yin hurriedly sent someone to find Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan was the only one who had been received by the progenitor, so he should have seen this fish.
Lu Yin had originally sympathized with Xi Qi when he saw the fish crazily slap her, but she had endured it for decades. Could it be that she couldn't get rid of the fish?
That might not be the case, but it was also possible that she wasn't willing to give up.
When he thought about this, Lu Yin looked at Xi Qi seriously. Because he had improved so quickly, he hadn't realized that Xi Qi had become an Enlighter. Although her progress was slow compared to his, how many youths in the Fifth Mainland had reached the Enlighter realm?
Twenty years ago, only the Ten Arbiters had reached that level. Although there had been more twenty years later, this was still a threshold that only a few could cross.
Xi Qi wasn't good at fighting, and her cultivation talent wasn't that outstanding, but she had still reached the Enlighter realm. Lu Yin didn't believe that this had nothing to do with the fish.
Otherwise, only an idiot would be able to endure being bullied and slapped by a fish for decades. No normal person would be able to stand it.
"Xi Qi, what did it promise you?
Why did you stay by its side for so many years? "
Lu Yin asked whatever came to his mind, and it was up to Xi Qi whether she answered or not. He was just curious and didn't have any designs on the fish. Even if this fish really was the battleship fish from the progenitor's back garden, it had nothing to do with him.
Xi Qi felt wronged. "It's teaching me how to become a progenitor."
Lu Yin was speechless. "You believe it?"
The fish glanced at Lu Yin. "What do you mean, two-legged beast? You don't believe Lord Fish?
You're not convinced because Lord Fish didn't show you some of its skills. Fine, fine, fine. Just you wait, just you wait. "
Lu Yin thought that the fish would do something else, and he subconsciously used the Aeon Evolution Scripture, but the fish didn't do anything.
Xi Qi whispered, "I believe it. The president said that with my innate talent, it's not difficult to lockbreak, but it's very difficult to increase my cultivation. It'll take me at least a hundred years to reach the Enlighter realm, and that's under the premise that I have sufficient resources. However, it helped me by pointing out my flaws in my cultivation. That's why I'm able to reach the Enlighter realm now. That's why I believe it."
Lu Yin nodded. It seemed that this fish was Xi Qi's path, and it was fate that she had been able to unlock it.
As he listened to the fish god ramble on, Chu Yuan arrived. He hadn't followed Hen Xin back to the Three Ultimates Elysium, as he himself wasn't a member of the sect. They had merely cooperated. Now that his goal had failed, there was no need for him to stay together. Thus, he hadn't left the solar system until now.
When he heard that Lu Yin wanted to meet him, he immediately rushed over. In fact, he had also wanted to meet Lu Yin.
As soon as he saw Lu Yin, he heard a familiar voice. He would never forget this voice for the rest of his life, and it hadn't been that long since he had last heard it.
"Did you hear what Lord Fish said?
There are three steps to becoming a progenitor. The first step is to become a Half-Progenitor, and the second step is … "the fish rambled on.
Xi Qi carefully rolled her eyes. It would be great if he could become a Half-Progenitor.
"Shiperfish?"
Chu Yuan exclaimed and stared at Xi Qi's head in disbelief.
Xi Qi looked at him in shock. This person was Chu Yuan?
He was the most popular candidate for the Dao Disciple position.
