Lu Yin frowned. "If you're confident in controlling the Extremity, then why are you negotiating with me?"
This was a contradiction, as if he was purposely putting himself at a disadvantage.
Skymender Imperial Tutor was solemn. "It's simple. I want to be friends with Alliance Leader Lu."
Lu Yin was stunned, but then he laughed. "You must be joking, Imperial Tutor. The Astral Beast Domain and the Human Domain have been at war for countless years, and there are countless casualties. There's no way to resolve the conflict, so how can we be friends?"
"Even if we're on different sides, we can still be friends. For example, if Alliance Leader Lu wants to know something, I can tell you. I don't ask for anything else, but I hope that Alliance Leader Lu can protect me in my later years. I don't have much longer to live, and while I'm alive, I hope that everything will remain the same. After I die, the Human Domain and the Astral Beast Domain are none of my concern," Skymender Imperial Tutor said with a bleak tone.
If Lu Yin had not fused with the Yin Guai, he might have believed Skymender Imperial Tutor's words after seeing him gather so many human-shaped sourceboxes. After all, the Astral Beast Domain was at an absolute disadvantage, and there was no way for them to make a comeback.
But now, Lu Yin sneered. He did not understand what the Celestial Beast Empire was planning, nor did he understand Skymender's goal. However, those human-shaped sourceboxes were definitely not simple. Even if he did not attack the Astral Beast Domain, he still had to attack that place.
Right, he had almost forgotten that he had to attack that place.
"Does Imperial Tutor know what this junior wants to know?"
Lu Yin was curious.
Skymender Imperial Tutor replied, "After countless years of war, the Astral Beast Domain and the Human Domain both understand each other very well. Alliance Leader Lu is the most brilliant human in the past forty years, and we don't dare to let our guard down for even a moment. From what I know, Alliance Leader Lu is collecting Fatesand and has connections with the Human Domain's Starsibyl Sect, right?"
Lu Yin's eyes went wide. "Imperial Tutor knows about Fatesand?"
"More accurately, I have some understanding of destiny," Skymender Imperial Tutor replied.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, but he did not speak. Destiny was a heavy topic, and it was too mysterious. Lu Yin was wary of anyone who was related to destiny, such as the Starsibyl Sect and Fate Daughter.
Fate Daughter in particular, who supported him unconditionally. She seemed harmless, but Lu Yin was more wary of her than anyone else, even more so than Hen's and Jueyi's.
If Heng Xin, Jue Yi, and the other Half-Martial Ancestors gave him pressure in terms of cultivation, it was no longer a problem after he obtained Progenitor Chen's power. However, Destiny Girl was different. No one knew what she was thinking.
She had been able to find Big Sis, the ancestor of the netherworld, as well as the Starsibyl Sect. She had also been able to make Third Uncle Lu Buzheng fear her. This woman was the one who had hidden herself the most deeply.
He would rather face three or four people like Hen Xin than one Lady of Fate, even if Lady of Fate was on his side.
"Alliance Master Lu, do you know a lot about Fate?"
Imperial Advisor Bu Tian asked.
Lu Yin replied, "Feel free to say whatever you want, State Tutor."
Imperial Preceptor Skymender's tone was solemn. "The Celestial Beast Empire inherited the Fourth Mainland's legacy. When the Fourth Mainland was destroyed, the remnant land that we protected was connected to the Fifth Mainland and became the Fifth Mainland's Astral Beast Domain. We were lucky enough to preserve some ancient records, including some about fate."
"Destiny was a woman, and her real name has long been lost. She was one of the oldest Progenitors and was as famous as the Grim Reaper and Wu Tian. She was also known as the Three Realms during the era of the Above Heaven Sect. She was considered one of the Progenitor's direct disciples, and she was the first batch of cultivators taught by the Progenitor. Each of them created their own unique cultivation civilizations.
"Destiny's legacy is known as the Law of Destiny. It allows one to see the past and the future, as well as their own aura.
Based on the person's experiences, they created a total of 108 grains of Fatesand, along with the Xuantian Mirror and the Book of Destiny. These are the inheritances of the Law of Destiny. "
Lu Yin knew that there were 108 grains of Fatesand, as Xuan Jiu had said that he had confirmed that the Starsibyl Sect was related to Destiny. Otherwise, Xuan Jiu would not have known the exact number of grains of Fatesand. The Minor Thousand Flowzone had 108 ring-shaped tributaries, 108 houses on Starsibyl, and 108 profound servants who served the Starsibyl Sect. All of these things corresponded to the Fatesand.
However, Lu Yin did not know about the Xuantian Mirror or the Book of Destiny.
"The more Fatesand you obtain, the closer you are to Destiny. I know that Destiny's Daughter unconditionally supports you, Alliance Master Lu, but I must warn you not to trust her too much. The ancient records state that being close to Destiny is not a good thing," Skymender Imperial Tutor reminded him.
Lu Yin asked, "Imperial Tutor, you claim to be able to see the past and the future, and you understand Destiny so well. May I ask, what is your relationship with Destiny?"
Skymender Imperial Tutor paused. "I have no intention of hiding anything from Alliance Master Lu. I am indeed related to Destiny."
Lu Yin's gaze trembled.
"I accidentally obtained the Book of Destiny," Skymender Imperial Tutor said.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "What Book of Destiny?"
Skymender Imperial Tutor replied, "I will tell you everything I know, Alliance Master Lu. I hope that Alliance Master Lu will not make things too difficult for my Astral Beast Domain." He then continued, "The so-called Book of Destiny is one of the three wondrous books written by Destiny. It is a treasure of Destiny, and in the eyes of many, its value is limitless. This is because the three books represent the past, present, and future. The book in my hand represents the present, so to a certain extent, I know some things."
Lu Yin was confused. There was such a treasure?
When he had first learned about the Starsibyl Sect, he had not believed them at all. He had thought that they were scammers, but after many things had happened, especially when he had come into contact with the Grim Reaper and the legends of Destiny, he had slowly begun to believe them. Now, even if Skymender Imperial Tutor had said something about the Book of Destiny, there was nothing unbelievable about it.
However, he still felt that it was unreal.
A treasure that allowed one to see the past, present, and future was even more mystical than the Progenitor's Sword. If time was a type of power, then what was this?
"I know that Alliance Master Lu does not believe me, but I have no reason to lie to you. I also know that Alliance Master Lu has been searching for someone all this time — Undying Yushan."
Lu Yin's finger twitched. "Can you find out where he is?"
Skymender Imperial Tutor replied, "Although the Book of Destiny is mystical, it is not omnipotent. It requires Destiny to activate it, and I can only activate it very occasionally."
"So you don't know?"
"I do."
Lu Yin raised a brow. "Where is he?"
Skymender Imperial Tutor replied, "In the Solar System, but I can't find his exact location."
Lu Yin frowned. "How do you expect me to believe you?"
Skymender Imperial Tutor replied, "I'm telling you these things without asking for anything in return. Does Alliance Master Lu have any reason to doubt me?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "You just mentioned the Reverse Xuantian Mirror. What do you mean?"
"The Xuantian Mirror is considered a basic tool for cultivating Destiny. Most of the Disciples of Destiny cultivate the Reverse Xuantian Mirror, including the Starsibyl Sect. I'm guessing that they cultivate the Reverse Xuantian Mirror as well. As for the Reverse Xuantian Mirror, according to the ancient records, Destiny has never passed it down to anyone."
"The Lady of Destiny also cultivates the Reverse Xuantian Mirror?"
"That should be the case."
"The Lady of Destiny is the successor of Destiny. Aren't you afraid that I'll tell her that you have the Book of Destiny?"
"That's my own fault. If Alliance Master Lu really trusts the Lady of Destiny, then why did you talk to me for so long?"
Lu Yin was amused. These people all thought that they were smart. He definitely would not tell the Lady of Destiny now, but when he reached a bottleneck and could no longer see through it, he would have to use extreme methods to break through, such as having the Lady of Destiny cause trouble for Skymender.
"Actually, I don't really believe what you're saying," Lu Yin said.
The Imperial Tutor sighed. "Normal people might not believe it easily, but Alliance Master Lu is not an ordinary person. You might not know any less than I do."
Lu Yin muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "Help me divine a word, a person, and an item. If you're accurate, then I'll believe you."
The Imperial Tutor smiled. "I've already expressed my sincerity. Regardless of whether Alliance Master Lu believes me or not, this is the truth. If this still does not dispel Alliance Master Lu's desire to kill my Astral Beast Domain, then there's nothing I can do."
"I said that if you divine a word, a person, and an item for me, then you'll be even more sincere."
"I'm sorry, Alliance Master Lu, but I can't agree."
"Why?
You have the Book of Destiny, so it won't be difficult for you. Besides, I didn't ask for time. "
"Hehe, a word, a person, and an item. Why don't you ask the Lady of Destiny?
She must have refused because Alliance Master Lu's divinations are not simple. I still want to live for two more years. "
Lu Yin was speechless. These fellows were extremely shrewd in this aspect. The Lady of Destiny was unwilling, and Skymender was unwilling as well. The Starsibyl Sect and Xuan Jiu had both vomited blood. Was it really that difficult for him to divine something?
"If you're not willing, then you can lend me the Book of Destiny. I'll do it myself," Lu Yin said.
The Imperial Tutor smiled. "After I die, I can give the Book of Destiny to Alliance Master Lu as a gift, but not now."
Lu Yin was astonished. "You're really willing to give it to me?"
"Why not? No one in the Astral Beast Domain can use it. Alliance Master Lu has collected Fatesand and has the ability to manipulate fate. Perhaps you can use it."
"What does the Book of Destiny look like?"
Lu Yin asked.
"A very large book," the Imperial Tutor replied.
A very large book?
Why did he feel like he had seen it somewhere before?
Lu Yin thought about it and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Xiao Shi, yes, Xiao Shi. That book had no words, but its contents could be read.
"You said that you have three Books of Destiny. Where are the other two?" Lin Feng asked.
Lu Yin asked without batting an eyelid.
The Imperial Tutor sighed. "I don't know. I can't find them."
Not long after, Lu Yin put down the wireless gu and contacted Senior Qing Ping, asking him to bring Xiao Shi over. No, Lu Yin thought about it and decided to go by himself.
But before that, he contacted the Lady of Destiny.
"You cultivate the Xuantian Mirror, right?" Lu Yin asked directly.
The Lady of Destiny replied, "Yes, you asked me that last time."
"Reverse the Xuantian Mirror?"
Lu Yin asked again.
The Lady of Destiny was curious. "How did you know?
Don't tell me that Lu Buzheng told you. Many people know about the Xuantian Mirror, but not many know that it has a positive and negative side. Even the Destiny Disciples don't know much about it. I don't want to hear lies. "
Lu Yin ended the call. If he didn't want to hear lies, then he wouldn't say anything.
