Kui Luo smirked when he saw Lu Yin's displeasure. "It's simple. He met all of your requirements, and because of this experience, you can act more ruthlessly in the Astral Tree Realm. Those big shots won't care, as they won't bother to bicker with you."
"He met all of my requirements?"
Lu Yin was astonished.
Kui Luo tapped his fingers. "First, Xia Zhitong is from Shenwu Plane. You can rely on her to get close to Shenwu Plane, which makes you their son-in-law. There shouldn't be any problems with that, right?"
"Second, do you know how Yucheng got its start?
They sell the bark of the Mother Tree. Many people from Yucheng go down to the Mortal Realm to harvest it. That's what you need, right? "
"Third, Shenwu Plane married Xia Zhitong to Young Master Yu because the Yu family used to support the Lu family."
Lu Yin was shocked. "They supported the Lu family?
Then why weren't they punished? "
Kui Luo explained, "Because Young Master Yu's father betrayed the Yu family. After the Lu family was exiled, before the Four Way Scales could make a move against the Yu family, the old city lord, who had always supported the Lu family, was captured by his son, Young Master Yu's father. He was personally sent to the Four Way Scales, and he should be in the Star Alliance now."
"Xia Zhitong was married to Yucheng because the Yu family was too decisive. The Four Way Scales suspected that this was a ruse, so they simply threw Xia Zhitong to Yucheng. That woman's reputation is too bad, and Shenwu Plane won't accept her. She can be used to deal with the Yu family."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "How do you know so much about the Yu family?"
Kui Luo sighed. "The Four Way Scales didn't give up on hunting me down, especially after the Lu family was exiled and Luo Zhe was imprisoned in the Red Garden. I escaped, but I fell off the Bifrost and recovered in Yucheng. During that time, Young Master Yu helped me. I went back several times, but he actually committed suicide right in front of me."
"You didn't help him?"
Lu Yin was astonished.
Kui Luo sneered, "He brought this upon himself. The first time he met Xia Zhitong, he was smitten by her and went straight to her bed. After that, he agreed to marry her without hesitation. His father tried to stop him, but it was useless. Even Shenwu Heaven didn't force him. In the end, he brought this upon himself. That little prince Yu might be handsome, but he's a complete piece of trash. He's never cultivated. Calling him a hedonist would be a disservice to the professional ethics of a hedonist."
"He doesn't have the slightest bit of manliness, and he's whiter than a woman. His only merit is that he's kinder. Unfortunately, this merit doesn't exist in this starry sky."
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "So you've never thought of avenging him?"
Kui Luo shook his head. "If I don't help them, they'll reap what they sow. The Yu family is extinct now, so there's no point in helping them."
Lu Yin could not help but laugh. Although Kui Luo had not helped the Yu family, he was still telling Lu Yin so much because he wanted to borrow Lu Yin's hand to help the Yu family. Otherwise, given Kui Luo's personality, he would not have said so much and even listed a few things.
Lu Yin could see through Kui Luo, but he did not expose him. "Does anyone else know about Young Master Yu's death besides you?"
Kui Luo replied, "Absolutely not. I saw him commit suicide with my own eyes. There was no one around, but there should be rumors."
Lu Yin looked at Kui Luo. "You didn't have much of a relationship with him, so how did you coincidentally see him commit suicide?"
Kui Luo's face twitched. "It was that coincidental."
"Alright, I'll disguise myself as this Young Master Yu. Right, what's his full name?
？”，
Lu Yin asked.
"Yu Hao," Kui Luo replied.
Lu Yin nodded. "You'll be coming with me to the Cosmic Tree. You're very familiar with that place, so if anything happens, you'll be able to take me with you."
"Lu kid, to be honest, it's unlikely that you'll be able to take anyone from the Red Garden and the Star Alliance under the Four Cardinal Scales' watch. Are you sure you want to take this risk?"
Kui Luo asked solemnly.
Lu Yin nodded. "Everyone in the Red Garden is from the Lu family, and there are many old officials from the Star Alliance who are loyal to the Lu family. As long as I'm here, I won't be afraid of the Four Cardinal Scales. They've waited for so many years, and they've suffered enough."
"Since they've waited for so many years, it won't be too late to wait a little longer. It won't be too late for you to go after you break through to Half-Ancestor," Kui Luo advised. "I understand the Four Cardinal Scales better than anyone else. The battlefield on the other side involves more than half of the Ancestors, and almost all of the Progenitors are in the Sovereign Realm. However, that doesn't mean that the Four Cardinal Scales can't do anything to you. You don't understand the power of a Progenitor."
"I understand," Lu Yin replied.
Kui Luo blinked. That's right, this kid can borrow Progenitor Chen's strength.
Lu Yin sighed. The Progenitor realm could be found in the universe with a single thought, so how could he not understand it? If a Progenitor attacked, then he definitely wouldn't be able to escape from the Cosmic Tree. However, there were some things that needed to be done. Otherwise, by the time he became a Half-Ancestor or Progenitor, everyone in the Star Alliance would be dead. The Four Cardinal Scales wouldn't allow the Xinkong Corridor to be damaged, and they should be able to repair it soon. At that time, when they discovered that the expeditionary army had been captured, they would still attack Lu Yin.
It was better to take advantage of the fact that the Four Cardinal Scales didn't know about this matter. That way, he would have a higher chance of rescuing those people. As long as he returned to the Fifth Mainland, it would be his to rule.
He believed that with Death Face's camouflage ability, he would be fine as long as he didn't encounter a Progenitor.
The first thing he would do in the Cosmic Tree was to protect Senior Qing Ping as he broke through to Half-Ancestor. With Kui Luo, the Fog Ancestor, and himself, there shouldn't be any problems. Next, it would be Young Master Yu's turn.
Rainbow Bridge, Jade City, Shenwu Plane, here I come.
…
A few days later, Lu Yin raised his hand and the die slowly spun. There were only a few days left before he would meet up with Senior Qing Ping, and this would be his last time rolling the die. Whether or not he rolled Enhance, or whether or not he discovered the Astral Beast Domain's secret regarding the humanoid sourceboxes, he still had to go to the Cosmic Tree.
As he thought about it, he tapped the die, causing it to slowly spin and then stop. Four Enhance: Time Stop Space.
Once he was there, he could only cultivate the Sirius Art and recite the Primogenitor's Scripture.
Lu Yin had already obtained the cultivation method for the sixth level of the Sirius Art from Elder Gong. If he wanted to cultivate the sixth level to perfection, he would need 380,000 stars.
That was a terrifying number, and it was four times more than the fifth level of the Sirius Art. Lu Yin didn't even know how long it would take him to cultivate it.
But no matter how many years it took, he still had to cultivate it.
More than half a year passed, and Lu Yin finally walked out of the Timestop Space. He raised a hand and tapped the die. He watched it slowly spin before stopping at five pips. He shook his head and tried again. Six pips. His eyes lit up, and his consciousness appeared in that dark space.
Just like last time, there were no bright orbs of light around him.
Ever since he had become an Envoy, his rate of improvement had not slowed at all. Instead, it had increased by leaps and bounds. The new power that had formed in his heart had given him the ability to fight against powerhouses with power levels in the millions. How many powerhouses could there be in this universe?
Lu Yin guessed that he had used up so much energy not only because he had merged with the light, but also because he had spent too much time searching in this dark space.
Here we go.
Lu Yin hurriedly shuttled back and forth, searching for a suitable light.
After a while, he found a bright orb of light that was so bright that he couldn't merge with it. Based on his estimations, this light represented someone at least at the seventh or eighth level of Origin Tribulation, which meant that they were at the same level as Elder Jiu Shen and the Second Nightking.
Only people at this level were worth merging with.
Lu Yin rushed over without hesitation. Although it was difficult to merge with the light, it wasn't impossible. He had to give it a try.
There was a loud boom, and Lu Yin's brain was shaken. He couldn't see any light, and a nauseating dizziness assaulted him. It felt like the world was spinning.
"Are you hurt?"
A cold voice entered his ears, one that Lu Yin would never forget even in his dreams. It was Black Wushen's voice.
Lu Yin abruptly opened his eyes, and he saw a pair of deep eyes that were like a boundless starry sky. Three pitch-black lines overlapped to form a star-shaped image. These eyes were so familiar, and they were so terrifying. They were Black Wushen's eyes.
These eyes had appeared in his dreams more than once. The first time he had learned about the Seven Skygods, and the first time he had come into contact with them, it had been Black Wushen. Even though he had come into contact with the Witch Spirit God the most later on, Black Wushen was the first person — no, a creature — that had made Lu Yin feel fear from the bottom of his heart. Lu Yin didn't even know if Black Wushen was even human.
"Why are you so surprised by my words?
That gaze shouldn't be on you right now, "Black Wushen continued speaking in a cold voice.
At this moment, Lu Yin still couldn't see Black Wushen's appearance. Only those eyes could replace the boundless starry sky. Memories flooded in, and Lu Yin's expression changed. He had actually merged with Tiandou's body, and Tiandou had actually colluded with Black Wushen.
Was he surprised?
To be honest, Lu Yin wasn't surprised at all, as the Specter Clan had never taken a side.
Back then, they had been targeted by the She family, who had joined forces with the Seven Courts and the Hall of Honor to give them a huge blow. They had then turned to the Eternals, and when Lu Yin had successfully cultivated the Arcane Art of Life and Death and used the Death Transformation to confirm that he could create death qi, the Specter Clan had sided with Lu Yin, hoping to have an escape route and preserve their clan's hope.
At this point, there was nothing wrong with it. Anyone in the Specter Clan's position would have done the same thing. Who wouldn't want to live in the face of the threat of extermination?
However, when Jueyi had arrived in this space-time and brought the Death God's orthodox inheritance, the Specter Clan had unhesitatingly sided with him. Although Lu Yin's death had been confirmed, the biggest reason was that they were willing to trust Jueyi. Silver had dared to openly betray Jueyi during the battle for the position of Dao Disciple, but the Specter Clan had not dared to do so.
Now, Jueyi was only the Elysium Sect Master, and the Specter Clan was hiding in Kun's Swamp like stray dogs, not daring to show themselves.
Lu Yin didn't think much of the Specter Clan. No matter how powerful the death qi they cultivated was, Lu Yin still didn't think much of them.
Now that he had merged with Tiandou's body, Lu Yin wasn't surprised to see that Tiandou was colluding with Hei Wushen. He was just curious as to how Hei Wushen had managed to return to this part of the universe and what he was planning with Tiandou.
Memories flooded into Lu Yin's mind, and his gaze returned to normal.
Hei Wushen coldly said, "Abandoning the Death God's power and focusing on cultivating the power of my clan's only True God is your only chance of becoming a Progenitor. Even if the Death God is still alive, he's just a slightly stronger ant compared to my clan's True God. Even the Progenitor is dead, let alone the Three Realms and Six Daos. What are you hesitating for?"
Lu Yin remained calm and expressionless.
