Starsibyl met Fate Lady's puzzled gaze and shook her head. Her face was pale. "I didn't see it. The moment I came into contact with that character, I suffered a backlash." Starsibyl then looked around and saw that the meteorites had all disappeared. Logically speaking, she should have died just like Mister Zhu, but why hadn't she?
Why had she only suffered light injuries?
Fate's Daughter took a deep breath and took out the wireless gu to contact Lu Yin.
Lu Yin had been waiting the entire time, and the Misty Ancestor was chatting happily with the mentors. They all treated her like a junior and did not even dare to look her in the eye, which allowed Lu Yin to relax.
The wireless gu vibrated, and Lu Yin looked over.
"I almost died." This was Fate's Daughter's reply.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "What do you mean?"
Fate's Daughter replied, "This word involves the only True God of the Eternals. That person is not someone we can speculate about. Even during the Above Heaven era, that person was very mysterious. What does this word have to do with him?
You almost got us killed. "
Lu Yin did not know that Fate's Daughter had transferred the karma of the backlash, and no one would inform him of the deaths of those in the Outerverse. After all, it was not a big deal.
"What did you deduce?"
Lu Yin asked.
Fate's Daughter's gaze was cold. If not for the karma being transferred, she would have been seriously injured. This outcome was even more serious than Lu Yin's triggering of fate. "I didn't deduce anything. I was injured as soon as I touched that word. I won't deduce anything else."
Lu Yin's heart sank, and he looked up at the sky. The liquid had devoured the astral source universe, but it was still not part of the Turbid Stratagem. What was this Turbid Stratagem that Mister Mu wanted to investigate?
Did it have nothing to do with the liquid?
It should be related, as this was causing the entire Fifth Mainland to lose its astral source and causing human cultivation to regress. If this was not the Turbid Stratagem, then how terrifying would the true Turbid Stratagem be?
The wireless gu vibrated, and Fate's Daughter replied, "Where did you learn this word?"
Lu Yin replied, "I guessed."
On the other side, Fate's Daughter and Starsibyl stared blankly at the wireless gu's reply. Even in their wildest dreams, they had never imagined that Lu Yin would reply with such a word. This was too perfunctory, and even lying to them was much better than this answer.
Fate's Daughter's anger towards Lu Yin far surpassed Lu Buzheng's.
Starsibyl also felt a rare sense of absurdity. As expected, Lu Yin had exceeded her expectations.
Lu Yin's reply appeared again. "This word is very important to me, as cultivators are blessed with good fortune. This word suddenly appeared when I drank the Wisdom Root Tea and broke through. It's incredibly important, so I must divine it. Let's try again."
Destiny's Daughter's eyes widened, and she subconsciously wanted to find Lu Yin and give him the life line.
"Sect Master, he shouldn't be lying," Starsibyl suddenly spoke up.
Destiny's Daughter was puzzled. "Do you believe that he guessed it?"
Starsibyl earnestly replied, "I believe in the Root of Wisdom Tea. The Root of Wisdom came from Ancestor Hui, and it's a strange treasure that he planted. After drinking the Root of Wisdom Tea, one's thoughts will be enlightened, and one will be able to comprehend everything quickly. Coupled with a breakthrough in one's cultivation, it's possible that something will appear in the unseen world."
The Lady of Fate shook her head. "Even if he had an epiphany, it's impossible for that word to appear." She then immediately replied, "We can't divine that word."
If the first time doesn't work, then I'll try a second time. If the second time doesn't work, then I'll try a third time. If the third time doesn't work, then I'll try countless times. There's bound to be one day where I succeed. "
Destiny's Daughter gritted her teeth. Countless times?
That was asking for her life. Every time she tried to activate fate, she would vomit blood. Countless times?
She would have vomited blood long ago.
"Up to you. Since you want to activate fate, then I'll help you." Destiny's Daughter did not want to be held back by Lu Yin.
Lu Yin did not understand. "What do you mean?"
Destiny's Daughter replied, "If you activate fate, then it'll be very easy for you to do so. Since that's the case, then I can only search for fate with you. Otherwise, fate will appear and find out that I didn't do anything. Alright, you can continue."
Lu Yin sneered. Destiny's Daughter did not want him to activate fate because she wanted to become an ancestor and replace fate. However, there was also another point, which was that she had definitely been affected. Just like how Xuan Jiu had vomited blood, she had not felt well either. Lu Yin was not afraid of being deceived. Back in the Starry Sky of the Trees, he had created a legend.
"Alright, then I'll continue to activate fate. You help me find fate as well."
Destiny's Daughter's eyelids twitched, and she felt a headache coming on. She had thought that Lu Yin was just trying to scare her, but he actually wanted to activate fate?
This would not do. If fate was constantly activated, then not only would she not be able to cultivate, but she would also continuously deteriorate. Worst of all, fate might actually be activated, which would make things difficult for her.
She looked at Starsibyl. "Contact him."
Starsibyl nodded. Evidently, Destiny's Daughter could not communicate with Lu Yin.
Lu Yin put away the wireless gu and looked at the mentors with a headache. He had to activate fate again to scare Destiny's Daughter. This woman unconditionally supported the Daozi, which made him feel uneasy. He did not know what she was thinking, but now that he had finally found a way to threaten her, he could not give up.
The Starmaster was still on guard against Lu Yin, and when he saw Lu Yin look over, he shouted, "What are you looking at?
Don't touch Stargazing Tower. "
The other mentors all stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. Why did he look like he was guarding against a thief?
He was too vigilant. Was this still the same calm and taciturn mentor from before?
At that moment, the wireless gu vibrated again.
Lu Yin looked over.
"I'm Starsibyl, Alliance Leader Lu. Long time no see."
Lu Yin raised his brows. Destiny's Daughter could not continue the conversation, so she had asked Starsibyl to do it. "You have to divine that word," he replied.
Starsibyl was very calm, as she understood Lu Yin very well. "That word can't be divined. Even if you force us to our deaths, we won't be able to. We still have to help Alliance Leader Lu in the future. Does Alliance Leader Lu think that dying over a word is worth it?"
Lu Yin had not really planned on divining that word, as he already knew the results. He had only wanted to use it to get them to divine something else, and at the same time, to see how much fate would affect them. From the looks of it, it was very significant, and Destiny's Daughter was definitely panicking.
"Alright, I've always been on good terms with the Starsibyl Sect, so I won't be divining that word. Instead, I'll be divining a person."
Starsibyl looked at the wireless gu and did not relax. If Lu Yin wanted to divine something, even an ant would not be easy, let alone a person. He was not playing around with them, so there was no need for him to divine something useless. She did not even want to know who Lu Yin was divining.
"Alliance Leader Lu, I'm injured today. Let's wait for a while before divining," Starsibyl replied.
Lu Yin did not force them. "Three days. Help me divine something about a person in three days."
Starsibyl was in a difficult position, and she looked at Destiny's Daughter.
Destiny's Daughter replied, "Ask him who he wants to divine."
Starsibyl replied.
Lu Yin told them about Mister Mu. Twenty years ago, Mister Mu had left with a strange attitude, and Lu Yin wanted to know how he was doing. With Mister Mu's cultivation, they might not be able to divine anything, but Lu Yin still wanted to know if Mister Mu was alive or dead.
Starsibyl had never heard of Mister Mu, and neither had Destiny's Daughter. Generally speaking, with their knowledge, they could divine anything they had not heard of, but that was only for others. When it came to Lu Yin, the more they had not heard of him, the more uneasy they felt.
"Ask about this person's identity and cultivation," Destiny's Daughter said.
Starsibyl replied.
Lu Yin laughed. "If I knew, would I still need you to divine anything?"
He did not dare to tell them that Mister Mu was definitely a Progenitor, and not just any Progenitor. At the very least, he knew Wu Xing, who was acquainted with Mister Mu, which meant that Mister Mu was at least from the Above Sky Sect.
He could not say this, as Destiny's Daughter would definitely not divine anything.
Destiny's Daughter frowned. "Alright, we'll do it in three days."
Lu Yin put down the wireless gu and turned around, only to see all the mentors staring at him. He rolled his eyes. "Alright, I won't touch Stargazing Tower."
…
Three days passed by in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Lu Yin had distanced himself from Stargazing Tower, allowing the mentors to relax.
He found the Trialmaster and asked about the crazy headmaster. At the same time, many students from Astral-10 saw him and gathered around him. Lu Yin had yet to graduate and was half a guest mentor, so he gave these students a day's worth of lessons and satisfied his craving to be a master. He felt that he should have taken in a disciple, one that was not someone like Ku Wei.
After three days, he immediately contacted Destiny's Daughter, and it was Starsibyl who answered.
"Can we do the divination now?" Lu Yin asked.
Starsibyl replied, "Alliance Master Lu, could this person be a Progenitor?"
"I don't know," Lu Yin replied.
On the other side, Starsibyl had no choice but to put down the wireless gu.
Destiny's Daughter waved her hand, and many meteorites appeared around her once more to begin the divination: Mister Mu.
Very quickly, Starsibyl spat out another mouthful of blood, but Destiny's Daughter reacted even faster this time and flung herself away before all the meteorites shattered. She was not injured, but her expression was extremely ugly. "A Progenitor, and not an ordinary one at that. He's at least at the level of Nine Mountains and Eight Seas."
Starsibyl bitterly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Fortunately, her injuries were not serious this time, and Destiny's Daughter had reacted quickly. "Mister Mu is a Progenitor?"
Destiny's Daughter took out the wireless gu and contacted Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was slightly apprehensive and hoped that nothing would happen to Mister Mu.
At this moment, the wireless gu vibrated, and even though there was no sound, Lu Yin could feel Destiny's Daughter's intense anger. "Lu Daozi, this Mister Mu is at least at the level of Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. You want us to divine someone like him?
Why don't you let Lu Buzheng try using the ancestral qi of the three suns? "
Lu Yin felt guilty, but he quickly replied, "I don't know. Did you divine him?"
Destiny's Daughter was furious, but she could not tell whether Lu Yin was telling the truth or not. She threw the wireless gu to Starsibyl, not wanting to contact Lu Yin.
Starsibyl bitterly replied, "Alliance Leader Lu, forgive us for being powerless. This Mister Mu's level is too high, and he's not someone we can divine."
"You're injured?"
Lu Yin's eyes lit up.
"Yes," Starsibyl replied.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief. Just like with the divination of the word "Turbid," he had never thought that they would be able to divine anything. He had only wanted to make a judgment based on whether or not they were injured. Mister Mu was definitely fine, or else they would not have been injured. Furthermore, the "Turbid" plan was not this one.
He had achieved his goal, but it was not a good thing for Destiny's Daughter and Starsibyl. Most importantly, they did not know that Lu Yin had already achieved his goal.
If they did, Destiny's Daughter might even charge over and fight him to the death.
