Central plains, in a bustling city in Green Moon district, Xuan Jiu looked at the wireless Gu in a dilemma, should he accept it or not?
That was a problem.
He had been hiding in the Cosmic Tree Realm for three years, doing everything he could to avoid Lu Yin. These three years had been very comfortable, just as comfortable as Lu Yin had been during his twenty years of disappearance. Furthermore, he had left before the Fifth Mainland's Astral Source Universe had recovered, and now that he had arrived here, he had not been affected by the time poison. He was just as free as he had been in the Fifth Mainland.
However, it was impossible for him to join the Four Way Scales. He could only wait for death in the Middle Level Realm.
She only hoped that she would never have anything to do with Lu Yin.
But that guy actually contacted him.
The wireless Gu stopped vibrating, Xuan Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, there was no need to pick it up.
Next, the wireless Gu vibrated again. He stared at it.
Stop, vibrate again, stop, and vibrate again.
Xuan Jiu answered, "You're not going to give up?"
"Back then, you said that I was an unlucky person and that anyone who got close to me would be unlucky, right?"
"Yes," Xuan Jiu replied without hesitation. Then, he immediately replied, "No, I don't even need to get close to you. It's bad luck to stay away from you."
"Do you know the True Mysterious Heavenly Mirror?"
Lu Yin asked.
Xuan Jiu was surprised. "You actually know about the Righteous Profound Heavenly Mirror?
I won't, and no one else will. "
"Someone does," Lu Yin replied.
Xuan Jiu was shocked. "Who?"
"Let me tell you. Do you have any way of getting the cultivation method for the Righteous Heavenly Mirror from her?"
Xuan Jiu clenched his teeth. "Of course there's no other way. The Mysterious Heavenly Mirror is divided into positive and negative, and fate has always passed down negative Mysterious Heavenly Mirrors. If someone knows how to use the positive Mysterious Heavenly Mirror, then things will get out of hand."
"Doesn't the Starsibyl Sect not believe in Fate Maidens?
You seem to be very certain of the existence of fate. "
"Nonsense, the people of the Celestial Sect Era have already confirmed it. What's there to not believe?"
"But I feel like you've known about the existence of Fate for a very long time."
"That's enough. Don't worry about the wording. So what if you knew?
Let me tell you, the Starsibyl Sect has relied on the Abacus of Fate to get to where it is today, but so what?
No one would have believed it back then, but there's no need to say it now. Even a genuine Successor of Fate is here. What does that have to do with us? "
Lu Yin did not harp on this point. "The person who has the Righteous Heavenly Mirror technique is my enemy. Is there any way to deal with him?"
"No, Grandpa Jiu is just a cripple. Don't count on me for anything. Grandpa Jiu only has one dream in his life." After a pause, he replied, "Towards the Heavens for another five hundred years."
"Five hundred years? That's too little."
"Hmph, live for five hundred years first. I'm afraid you won't be able to live that long." Xuan Jiu rolled his eyes.
"Yes," Lu Yin replied.
Xuan Jiu ended the call and crushed the wireless Gu. "Meet?
See your grandpa! "
Lu Yin put away the wireless Gu; Xuan Jiu was determined not to meet him.
What was going on with fate? The scene he had just witnessed had left a shadow in his heart.
He observed the red godly power in his heart. Would this thing change him in the future?
He raised his head and looked at the Topmost Realm and the sky. Right now, the biggest unstable factor was Madman Lu. He was looking for every opportunity to attack him. He had to do his best to destroy Madman Lu. Otherwise, who knew what would happen in the future?
There were also the resources from the New World. The Four Way Scales had definitely taken them, but the Nong family would also have a lot of them.
He raised the wireless Gu and contacted Nong Yi.
"You're here." Nong Yi wasn't surprised by Lu Yin's arrival. Three years.
It had been a short time, but those who knew Lu Yin knew that he hadn't been in closed door cultivation for more than a year. "Any progress on the stellar source?"
"No, I'm here to ask you something."
"What is it?" Nong Yi was puzzled.
"Where are you?
Ruler's World? "
"Seed Garden."
"Then I'll head over." Lu Yin ended the call and headed towards the garden.
Not long after, the garden came into view.
The enormous shadow of the Hellwyrm descended, attracting the attention of countless gazes in the garden. They were filled with shock, fear, and shock.
Within the garden, Nong Yi wiped his forehead, "Can't you keep a low profile? Ya 'zi, bring him over."
Behind him, Nong Ya was gloomy. Ya 'zi was a terrible name, but the ancestor liked to call him that, so he couldn't do anything about it.
Beside him, Bi 'zi was bouncing around happily, making Yiyi noises.
Further away, Nong Sanniang, Nong Lie, Nong Siniang, and the rest were all there, including Bai Xue.
Nong Yi had spent most of his time in the outside world and rarely returned to the garden. When the Lu family had still been around, he had been one of the Progenitors guarding the outside world. After the Lu family had been exiled, he had been even more so, and there weren't many people in the Nong family who could interact with him.
Now that the Eternals had been forced to retreat and the threat was gone, the ancestor could return at any time, and no one would miss this chance to get close to him.
Even if Nong Yi's status as the Nong family's ancestor was ignored, cultivators would still rush to get close to him.
Soon, Lu Yin followed Nong Ya to the side of the field. "The ancestor is in front. Lu Daozi, please."
Lu Yin saw Nong Sanniang and the rest, as well as Bai Xue. He exchanged a glance with her and nodded before walking into the field, taking off his shoes just like the rest of the Nong family.
Bi 'zi happily bounced over when it saw Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at it in surprise, as it wasn't his first time seeing it. Back when it had been with Nong Lie, it had wanted to jump onto him every time it saw him, and this time was no exception.
Bi 'zi leapt up, and Lu Yin subconsciously caught it and placed it on his shoulder, listening to its happy purr.
"This little thing likes you a lot," Nong Yi smiled. He was dressed simply and had a towel tied around his forehead. It was impossible to tell that he was a Progenitor.
Lu Yin smiled. "Old friend. Senior, you must be happy living in the countryside."
Nong Yi nodded. "To us farmers, a cup of tea is the best enjoyment in the world. It would be even better if there were a few juniors who could educate us."
Nong Ya and the rest had helpless expressions and subconsciously retreated.
On the other side, Bai Xue looked on with a complicated expression. She had heard many things about Lu Yin during her time in the garden, but she still found it hard to believe. Lu Yin was about the same age as them, and he had walked out of Earth with them. How could he fight against a Progenitor and even become a Deity? It was unbelievable.
Was it because he was a descendant of the Lu family?
"Senior, you don't plan on returning to the outside world?"
Lu Yin asked.
Nong Yi replied, "If the threat comes again, of course I'll go back." He then waved his hoe and dug into the ground.
The others followed suit and began digging as well.
Lu Yin pursed his lips and then retrieved a hoe from his cosmic ring. He then followed their rhythm and began digging, causing everyone to look over in surprise.
Even Nong Yi was astonished. "What's this hoe?"
"Someone gave it to me," Lu Yin answered casually.
Nong Yi sized it up. "A power vessel that can make a power vessel?
Is there anyone else besides the Nong family? "
Lu Yin smiled. "My surname is Nong, and I'm from the Sixth Mainland."
"There are Nong family members in the Sixth Mainland?"
Nong Ya was astonished.
Nong Yi was not surprised. "So that's how it is. No wonder the Nong family has spread, and it's not just in the Fifth Mainland. It's said that the first ancestor once made a grand promise to reclaim the Sixth Mainland, so many Nong family members went to the various mainlands to curry favor with the first ancestor. They competed with each other in reclaiming land."
"And then?"
Lu Yin asked.
Nong Yi dug into the ground with his hoe. "And then the mainlands were gone, and so were the reclaimed lands. That's why it's not strange that there are Nong family descendants in the Sixth Mainland."
The Hui jumped from one shoulder to the other, minding its own business and happily playing.
"Senior, how much do you know about the Lu family?"
Lu Yin suddenly asked.
Nong Yi did not understand. "What do you mean?"
"Madman Lu," Lu Yin said in a low voice.
Nong Yi paused and looked at the ground in deep thought.
Nong Ya and the rest left the field one by one until only Nong Yi and Lu Yin were left. There was also a Hui that was happily playing around.
"If you want to talk about understanding Madman Lu, then you've found the wrong person," Nong Yi said. "Aside from Senior Lu Tianyi, no one else understands this madman. Even your Lu family's ancestor might not know much about him."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. "Senior, are you telling me that this Madman Lu is very ancient?"
If Madman Lu was from his father's generation or the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas' generation, then how could Lu Tianyi be the only one who understood the Lu family?
Nong Yi raised his brows. "I need to think more before I speak to you, but you're right. Madman Lu's seniority is extremely ancient. How should I put it? I'm one of the first people born after the Astral Tree was separated from the Fifth Mainland. Although my seniority is lower than Ancestor Bai's, it's not that far off. Back then, my grandfather was still alive, and he told me that his father had heard of Madman Lu. There are even older records, and Madman Lu is like a negative label for the Lu family.
"He's just like Senior Lu Tianyi. When outsiders talk about the Lu family, the first person they think of is Senior Lu Tianyi. Those who know about Madman Lu will also think of him."
Lu Yin was confused. "How long has Madman Lu been alive?"
Nong Yi shook his head. "No one knows. Only Senior Lu Tianyi knows."
Lu Yin looked up. Could this Madman Lu also be from the Above Heaven Sect? If so, why did he hate the Lu family?
Why hadn't the Lu family dealt with him?
This person was a thorn in Lu Yin's heart, one that was even deeper than the Four Cardinal Scales.
The Four Cardinal Scales were mortal enemies, but because of their agreement, Lu Yin did not have to worry about them for the time being. However, Madman Lu was different, and he could act at any time.
So far, Madman Lu had acted twice, and he had almost succeeded on both occasions.
The first time had been after his lockbreaking duel with Mu Shang. If not for that inexplicable palm strike, Lu Yin would have been in real danger.
The second time had been a sixth Origin Tribulation, and Madman Lu had wanted to participate. Just like how the Culinary God had lured Sir Feather into his Origin Tribulation, Madman Lu was clearly trying to drag Sir Feather down with him.
This person was a true madman, and Lu Yin would not be able to sleep peacefully until he dealt with him.
But how could he deal with him?
If there wasn't the Four Sides Scale blocking him, he could rely on what he saw in the space-time travel to suspect Madman Lu and ask for Senior Brother Mu Xie's help. Although Senior Brother Mu Xie might not do anything to him because there was no evidence, at least it would allow him to confront Madman Lu directly.
However, with the Four Cardinal Scales in the way, he might not even have the chance to confront Madman Lu Yin.
