According to his senior, the amount of astralsource in his body was five times that of the Lu family's first tribulation cultivator, which was already an exaggeration.
If that was the case, then Lu Yin's astralsource might not be much less than his own.
He finally understood how Chu Yuan felt; he was a monster. He couldn't understand how his senior could have so much astralsource.
Four bottles of astralsource liquid really wasn't enough.
"Senior, I can't give you that much astralsource," Lu Yin said helplessly. The sapling had only produced one bottle of astralsource liquid in half a year, which was already quite a lot. It was equivalent to a peak Envoy's astralsource, enough for him to use, but definitely not enough for his senior to break through.
"I'll go to the Astral Tree to break through in half a year. Give me as much as you can then," Qing Ping replied.
Lu Yin looked at the sapling playing happily nearby and pursed his lips, "Sorry to trouble you again." His senior would go to the Astral Tree to break through in half a year, which would coincide with the date of the Tianmen Convention. He really knew how to pick a date.
The two intentionally ignored the question of how the astralsource would be given. When the time came, Lu Yin would give Qing Ping the astralsource liquid, and Qing Ping would naturally accept it. As for how the astralsource liquid came about, he wouldn't ask, and Lu Yin didn't need to take the initiative to tell him. This was a tacit understanding, just like how Lu Yin wouldn't ask Qing Ping where he had gotten so much astralsource.
After playing with the sapling for two days, Lu Yin coaxed it to go snatch astralsource while he set off for the Mysterium Sect. It was time to absorb the death qi.
The comma in his body was the black and white fog that could only be replenished by death qi.
…
Lu Yin didn't need protection no matter where he went; he was the strongest in the universe.
The Mysterium Sect's planet, Aegis, was some distance away from the solar system, but this distance was meaningless as Lu Yin's cultivation increased.
With his current cultivation, he would arrive very quickly.
He looked at the frozen planet and remembered the first time he had come here, it had been for Aegis. Back then, Aegis had already exhausted him, and he had even been assassinated. Now, it was just an ant under Lu Tian.
Lu Yin quickly entered the Mysterium Sect and looked up to see a black sun hanging in the sky. It was clearly a sun, but it brought darkness to the void.
He leaped up and began to absorb the death energy.
Every time he came here, the speed at which he absorbed the death qi was different. This time, however, it was much more exaggerated than before. Perhaps it was because the nature of his power had changed, or perhaps it was because his cultivation had changed, but the black sun was visibly distorting as boundless death qi poured into Lu Yin's body like a river.
Looking from the bottom to the top, it was as if a black line had separated this space.
As the boundless death energy entered his body, he once again saw that lonely figure sitting on the ground with Gou Lian beside him. A gust of wind blew past, causing his robes to flutter. It was the Grim Reaper.
With a single thought, Lu Yin followed the death aura and appeared right in front of the Grim Reaper. He had once seen Death's face, which was how he had obtained this camouflage battle technique. This time, however, he truly saw the Grim Reaper.
The Grim Reaper was a middle-aged man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life. His eyes were dim and unfocused. No one knew what he was thinking about. Although he looked a little old, one could see that he was handsome when he was young.
There was some stubble on his chin, and his hands were large and covered in scars.
Lu Yin looked into the Grim Reaper's eyes. Suddenly, the Grim Reaper looked up, and the originally unfocused gaze became deep, dark, and unfathomable. It instantly swept Lu Yin into a boundless sea of death energy. Lu Yin's entire body turned cold, and he subconsciously channeled the power in his heart.
The sea of death energy disappeared.
It suddenly disappeared, and the Grim Reaper and Lu Yin faced each other.
They were clearly separated by an era, but Lu Yin felt as if the Grim Reaper was staring at him. The Grim Reaper could see himself and see through time.
While Lu Yin was still in shock, the Grim Reaper slowly raised his hand and gathered death energy at his fingertips. A strange fluctuation formed a seal and pressed it into Lu Yin's forehead. Lu Yin's head felt as if it had exploded, and he suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and saw that he was still in midair, absorbing the death energy. In the distance, the black sun had shrunk a little.
Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his eyes flickered as he panted heavily. Was what he had just seen real or fake?
He had seen the Grim Reaper, and when their gazes met, the Grim Reaper had also pointed at him. No, it had not been a finger, but a seal.
Lu Yin closed his eyes and carefully recalled what had happened.
The death energy flowed along his arm and coiled around his fingers. Lu Yin recalled the fluctuations that the Grim Reaper had used, and he continuously imitated and tested them.
A few days later, the river of death energy disappeared, and the sun was much smaller than before.
The two black and white commas on Lu Yin's heart had grown much larger and more solid, and they carried a deeper meaning.
Lu Yin landed on the ground and looked at his fingertips. Over the past two days, aside from absorbing death energy, he had also been imitating the finger imprint that the Grim Reaper had given him. He didn't know what the finger imprint was used for, but after his experience with Death Face, he couldn't ignore it.
He had seen Death Face by accident, but this seal had been personally imparted by the Grim Reaper. If the Grim Reaper had truly seen him through time, then this was equivalent to imparting a technique to him through time.
Lu Yin was not in a hurry to leave. He stayed in the Mystery Sect and continuously tried to imitate the seal. Finally, after a few days, he succeeded.
He looked at the seal on his fingertips, and the moment he succeeded, he understood the use of this seal. It had to be said that this seal was very useful to him, to the point that he wanted to laugh maniacally.
This seal had the ability to pierce through space and ignore the power of space, but that was not the most important thing. What Lu Yin truly cared about was that this seal could exist for a long time. In other words, he could imprint this seal into a person's body and do whatever he wanted. This was standard control.
He had always wanted to find a way to control his enemies, and he had not expected the Grim Reaper to impart it to him.
Lu Yin looked up at the black sun and bowed respectfully. "This junior thanks Senior Grim Reaper for imparting this technique to me."
If not for Mister Mu, Lu Yin would have accepted the Grim Reaper as his master. It did not matter if the Grim Reaper acknowledged him or not, even if he was just an in-name disciple.
After replenishing his death energy, it was time to leave.
Lu Yin walked out of the Mystery Sect and appeared on Aegis. Just as he was about to leave, he turned to the west and saw a giant spacecraft. Was that the Nalan family's spacecraft?
As his status had increased, Lu Yin had not interacted with the Nalan family for a long time.
They had once been one of the Outerverse's Four Great Clans, and they had been of great help to the Great Eastern Alliance during its early days. Lu Yin had also instructed them to treat the Nalan family well.
When he had unified the Innerverse, he had learned that the Nalan family was doing well and had basically monopolized a portion of the Outerverse's commerce. They were even larger than before, and their support for the Great Eastern Alliance had increased as well.
When he saw the Nalan family, Lu Yin was reminded of Madam Nalan.
That woman had given him a huge shock, as she was the most flirtatious woman he had ever met. Her appearance was clearly fresh, but she was naturally charming, and her every move was filled with temptation.
More than twenty years had passed, and this old friend of his …
He wondered how his friend was doing.
As he thought about this, Lu Yin extended his domain and swept past the Nalan family's spacecraft. His expression suddenly changed, and killing intent burst forth.
In outer space, a giant spacecraft slowly traveled through space. From the outside, everything seemed normal, but the interior was filled with the stench of blood.
Dozens of corpses were strewn all over the ground, and the corridor stretched all the way to a luxurious room. There were two women lying on a large bed in the room, and a man standing beside the bed sneered. "I wanted to wait a little longer, but I decided against it. That person will easily discover me when he returns, and once he does, I'll be dead for sure. My apologies, Madam, and Miss Luoshen."
One of the two women lying on the bed was Madam Nalan, and the other was Luoshen.
At this moment, the two women were glaring at the man. "Mo Feng, my Nalan family has treated you well, but you actually attacked us."
The man named Mo Feng took off his outer clothes one by one and looked at Madam Nalan and Luoshen greedily. "Treated us well?
It's just an employment relationship. If it weren't for the fact that I'm a Hunter, why would your Nalan family care about me? Madam, you've been in the business world for so many years, so you can't be so naive. "
Madam Nalan's gaze was icy as she stared at Mo Feng. "You can take whatever you want. If it's not enough, I can give you resources. As long as the Nalan family has it, you can take it, but don't hurt us."
"What a joke. Ever since I came to the Nalan family, I've been thinking about you day and night. How many people in the Innerverse and Outerverse want you?
Do you know why I chose the Nalan family?
It's because of you that I've finally gotten what I wanted. "He then leaned closer to Madam Nalan and took a deep breath. His face was intoxicated." How fragrant. As expected of Madam, your body's fragrance is so alluring. "
Madam Nalan's face went pale, as she had been too careless. Normal cultivators, even Enlighters, would not be able to get close to her. She had all sorts of weapons from the Great Eastern Alliance, which were more than enough to deal with most threats. However, this Mo Feng had been with the Nalan family for more than twenty years, and he had always been loyal. Madam Nalan had never thought of being on guard against him, but she had never expected him to attack her.
To the side, Luoshen's face was ashen.
Mo Feng looked at Luoshen and smiled. "I heard that you like Lu Yin?"
Luoshen's eyes widened, and she glared at Mo Feng.
Madam Nalan hurriedly said, "Let her go. You should know what kind of person Lu Yin is. He's currently in charge of the Above Heaven Sect, and he has the highest status in the entire Human Domain. A single word from him can make a half-step Ancestor do whatever he wants. If you dare to touch her, then don't even think about living in peace for the rest of your life."
Madam Nalan's words made Mo Feng hesitate, but his eyes soon turned sinister. "So what if he's Lu Yin? Let me tell you a secret. My name is not Mo Feng. Do you know what my real name is?"
Madam Nalan and Luoshen stared at him. Mo Feng's hair was loose, and his clothes were half-undone. His snow-white skin caused his mouth to go dry, and there was a unique blush on his cheeks that was extremely alluring.
Mo Feng's lips curled up. "My name is." "Feng Mo." A faint voice came from behind him.
Mo Feng's expression froze, and he suddenly turned around. He saw a face that caused him to lose sleep and eat. His entire body went cold, and his legs went weak. He could not believe it. "Lu- Lu Yin?"
Madam Nalan and Luoshen looked at the person who had suddenly appeared with pleasant surprise.
"Alliance Leader Lu."
"Brother Lu."
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back and quietly looked at the man in front of him. "Feng Mo. Long time no see."
The person who had attacked Madam Nalan and Luoshen was an assassin from the Relentless Slayers — Feng Mo, someone who had escaped from Lu Yin's clutches.
