Hei Wushen's deep eyes turned. "Humans are inherently inferior, and they are unable to live forever. No matter how strong your cultivation is, being sealed in ice is meaningless. However, we Eternals are different. Since you are willing to join us, you should give up on the death aura. This is a dregs of energy that cannot be spread widely."
More and more of Celestial Dou's memories appeared, and through these memories, Lu Yin knew that Celestial Dou was the only one who was currently in cahoots with Hei Wushen. He also knew where the Specter Clan was, and that they were currently in the deathly forcefield in the Astral Wilderness.
Silver had mentioned this death energy field to Lu Yin before, and he had also mentioned that there was a death energy field in the Astral Beast Domain as well.
Just as he thought of Silver, images of Silver appeared in Heaven Dou's memories.
Lu Yin saw an infant whose flesh and bones were still connected to his bones laughing amongst a pile of corpses. His laughter was so happy that it seemed to be surrounded by a river of blood. The infant was tearing at his own flesh, as if it was in the way.
The baby's smile was exactly the same as Silver's, as bright as a fox's smile.
Lu Yin felt a chill run down his spine when he saw this scene, and his expression changed once more.
On the other side, Black Wushen's eyes turned. "Tiandou, something's wrong with you." He reached out to grab Tiandou.
Lu Yin suddenly looked up and withdrew from the fusion. His consciousness instantly returned to his own body through the dark space, and he panted heavily. Just a moment ago, Hei Wushen had displayed the strength of a Half-Progenitor, which was not something that Lu Yin could withstand.
Did Black Wushen discover him?
No, but he would definitely discover that the Celestial Dipper had been merged.
This was the first time that Lu Yin had been discovered. Previously, Flying Willow and Flying Flower had verified each other's words, but this time, it was Blackless God who had sensed the abnormality in Celestial Dipper.
However, it was impossible for them to guess that it was him.
Lu Yin suddenly stood up and activated his Sirius Art. He stepped onto the stars of Sirius and scanned the Above Heaven Sect. "Third Uncle, Kui Luo, come with me." He then contacted the Sixth Mainland's Nine Luminaries, Lan Xian, and the Medicine Immortal. They all headed towards the location in Tian Dou's memories.
There was Hei Wushen there.
At the very last moment, Lu Yin had used Celestial Dou's memories to find out that Hei Wushen had returned to this part of the universe twenty years ago through the Corpse God's arm. However, Hei Wushen had never revealed himself, and when Lu Yin had swept through the Fifth Mainland, Hei Wushen had not dared to show himself.
This might be the only chance to catch Hei Wushen.
From their meeting in the Astral Wilderness, Lu Yin was certain that Blackless God would never come to the Human Domain again. He was afraid of Lu Yin's Sirius Technique.
On this trip to the Astral Wilderness, not only were there Half-Progenitors, but there was also Silver.
Silver had always stayed in the Above Heaven Sect. He was afraid that the Undying Heaven Sect would seek revenge on him.
Jue Yi had come to this space-time. Other than himself, there were also a few cultivators from the Above Heaven Sect who had followed him. They were all very powerful, and there was also the Specter Race. Jue Yi had declared that he did not dare to go out, but only he knew what he was thinking.
"Captain, where are we going?"
Silver asked.
Lu Buzheng and Kui Luo were both present.
"The Astral Wilderness. That death energy field," Lu Yin replied.
Lu Buzheng's expression grew solemn. Lu Yin had just told them that he had reliable information that the Specter Clan's Tian Dou was colluding with Hei Wushen. They did not care about Tian Dou, but they did care about Hei Wushen.
That was one of the Seven Heavenly Gods. Through the identity of the Ancient God and the God of Forgotten Ruins, it could be confirmed that the Seven Heavenly Gods were the most powerful experts.
Facing one of the Seven Heavenly Gods was not much easier than facing a Progenitor.
As for the reliable information that Lu Yin had mentioned, they did not ask much about it. However, to be able to find traces of Hei Wushen, the source of this information was a little exaggerated. Only Kui Luo was curious.
Speaking of which, there were too many things about Lu Yin that he was curious about.
Silver did not say much after learning that they were going to the death energy field. He had been half-captured and did not know anything about it.
The Astral Wilderness did not refer to the Astral Wilderness of the current space-time. It referred to the regions outside of the six main continents from ancient times. Even during the Above Heaven Sect's era, those regions were considered part of the Astral Wilderness.
The Astral Wilderness was not easy to explore. Even if the Astral Source Universe had not been devoured, after entering the Astral Wilderness, most places would not be able to replenish star energy, and there would be no way to contact the Human Domain. Once one entered, life and death would be up to fate.
Even so, there were still countless people who explored the Astral Wilderness every year. There were species and materials that could not be found in the Human Domain, and some of these materials could allow cultivators to reach the heavens in a single step.
However, most of them had died in the Astral Wilderness.
The death energy field that Celestial Dou was in was not far from the Human Domain, and he quickly reached it with the speed of a half-step Ancestor.
The death energy field was like Kun's Swamp, and the surging black death energy stretched as far as the eye could see. Anyone who saw it would feel a chill in their hearts and would not dare to touch it.
Most of the cultivators who explored the Astral Wilderness were independent cultivators who did not have the qualifications to come into contact with certain things. They did not recognize death energy, and they could not come into contact with the Specter Clan. This place had been guarded by Specter Clan experts for a long time, and anyone who explored it would die. This was one of the few forbidden grounds that had been explored in the Astral Wilderness.
Lu Yin and the others rushed into the death energy field to search for Celestial Dou and Hei Wushen, but they did not find a single person. Even the Specter Clan experts who had been guarding this place all year round were not present.
"Where are they?"
Lu Buzheng was puzzled.
Kui Luo's spiritual force spread out in an attempt to search for them.
Lu Yin's expression turned ugly, as they had been discovered. Hei Wushen must have noticed Celestial Dou's abnormality, and as long as he mentioned it to Celestial Dou, Celestial Dou would definitely not remember what had happened after he had been absorbed. They must have guessed the truth, but there was no way they would know that it was Lu Yin.
Not long after, Jiu Yao, Lan Xian, and Medicine Immortal arrived. "Lu Daozi, where are they?"
"Let's go," Lu Yin growled. "Kun's Swamp."
Celestial Dou had escaped quickly, but the Specter Clan could not.
Lu Yin had contacted Qing Ping before heading to the Astral Wilderness, and he had asked him and Leng Qing to go to Kun's Swamp to control the Specter Clan.
This trip had not been in vain, and when Lu Yin and the others arrived at Kun's Swamp, they saw the controlled Specter Clan.
There were more than a thousand people hidden within the death energy field, and aside from the Specter Clan members, there was also Green Tea.
When Jue Yi had first arrived at Kun's Swamp, he had controlled Green Tea, and Green Tea had been unable to escape Jue Yi's control.
The surging death energy spread out, and Lu Yin looked at the group of Specter Clan cultivators before his gaze landed on Tong Yu. She was the Vice Arbiter of the Specter Clan, second only to Celestial Dou, and she was at seven Tribulation Origin Stage.
"We meet again, Vice Arbiter Tong Yu," Lu Yin said in a low voice.
Tong Yu was helpless, and she looked a little worried. In reality, her gaze was very calm, and the surrounding Specter Clan members were also very calm. "It's an honor that so many Half-Ancestors have come for a mere Specter Clan. It's a pity that the clan leader isn't here. Otherwise, he would have treated you all well...."
Lu Yin asked, "I want to know where your clan leader is."
Tong Yu smiled bitterly. "I don't know."
Leng Qing's expression changed, and the void pressure suddenly increased. It felt like countless blades were stabbing into Tong Yu's body, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. She half-knelt down, as she could not resist the pressure of a Half-Ancestor.
"Where is Celestial Dou?
Speak! "Leng Qing barked.
Tong Yu panted heavily, and beads of sweat dripped down her forehead. Her golden eyes looked at Lu Yin. "I really don't know."
Lu Yin.
Lu Yin believed that she did not know. Through Celestial Dou's memories, he was certain that the other Specter Clan members did not know that he had colluded with Hei Wushen. He waved his hand, and the pressure on Leng Qing disappeared.
"Take the other Specter Clan members away. Based on the past records, see if they have cooperated with the Eternals in any way. Judge them one by one," Lu Yin said. The Specter Clan had indeed helped him before, but they had done so for the sake of their own survival. If not for the fact that the Specter Clan had cooperated with Jue Yi against the Eternals in the past twenty years, Lu Yin would not have judged them one by one. He would rather kill the wrong person than let them go.
The other Specter Clan members were taken away, and only Tong Yu remained.
At that moment, the wireless gu in Lu Yin's bosom vibrated. He looked over and saw that it was Jue Yi.
"Lu Daozi, what are you doing in my Kun's Swamp?"
Jue Yi sent a message through the wireless gu. Although the gu could not transmit emotions, Lu Yin knew that Jue Yi was definitely furious. Ever since he had taken over Kun's Swamp twenty years ago, it had become his personal territory.
Lu Yin did not care about Jue Yi's anger. "How did you know?"
With Senior Brother Qing Ping's strength, the moment they attacked the Specter Clan members in Kun's Swamp, they would not have had time to react.
"It doesn't matter how I know. Lu Daozi, what are you trying to do?
The Specter Clan has been helping me deal with the Eternals for the past twenty years. If there was a problem with them, I would have already reported it to the Above Heaven Sect. Although you are a Dao Disciple and can act on behalf of the heavens, Kun's Swamp already belongs to the Undying Heaven Sect. Even if you wanted to go, you should have notified me first. "
Lu Yin sighed. "It looks like you've been used. Is the person who informed you so certain that the Specter Clan is being controlled?
What did he tell you? "
Jue Yi frowned. He was not stupid, and Lu Yin's words had made him think of something. "What's going on?"
Lu Yin replied, "The person who informed you was Celestial Dou. He's using you to test me."
"What do you mean?
What happened? "
Jue Yi did not understand.
"According to reliable information, Celestial Dou is colluding with Blackless God. We found their previous location, but they escaped. We can only control the Specter Clan and think of a way to find Celestial Dou," Lu Yin replied.
Jue Yi was shocked. "Celestial Dou is colluding with Blackless God?
Impossible. "
"Sect Master Jue Yi, do you know about the death energy field in the Astral Wilderness?"
Lu Yin asked.
Jue Yi's expression changed. The death energy field in the Astral Wilderness?
He did not know, as no one had told him about it.
Lu Yin guessed that Jue Yi did not know. Not many people knew about the death energy field. Celestial Dou knew, Silver knew, and even Tong Yu did not know. Even if the others knew, they could only stay in the Astral Wilderness forever.
Jue Yi's expression turned ugly. If what Lu Yin said was true, then Celestial Dou had not told him about the death energy field in the Astral Wilderness.
"Is Celestial Dou using me to investigate the Specter Clan's situation?
Then why don't I just tell him that you didn't go to Kun's Swamp?
He probably won't dare to get close to Kun's Swamp, and because of your existence, he might not even dare to return to the Human Domain. "
Lu Yin shook his head. "It's useless. If I'm not wrong, then he should be able to determine whether or not something has happened to Kun's Swamp based on the time you've been in contact with me. After such a long time, he's already confirmed that something has happened to Kun's Swamp."
"We might not have talked about Kun's Swamp, so he can't make a guess based on the time we've been in contact. That guess is too arbitrary," Jue Yi replied.
Lu Yin laughed. "How do you think the Specter Clan managed to survive?
Especially since Celestial Dou has his own judgment. As long as he suspects something, he won't return. We've been in contact for so long, and he already suspects that something has happened to Kun's Swamp, so he won't return until he's absolutely sure that nothing has happened to Kun's Swamp. "Lu Yin ended the call.
Actually, he had only just realized this, or else he would have explained it to Jue Yi.
