Xiao Shi enjoyed being asked questions, as this allowed him to read the Book of Destiny purposefully. Lu Yin also had many questions that he wanted answers to. "Help me investigate the Three Monarchs' Spacetime."
Xiao Shi grunted and started flipping through the pages. "Nope."
Lu Yin understood. Destiny belonged to this spacetime, and the Book of Destiny that she had left behind could not be used to investigate other spacetimes. "Investigate the Daolord."
Xiao Shi flipped through the pages. "There are quite a few people. Six."
"Only the images of the characters?"
"Yes."
Lu Yin pondered. "Investigate the secrets that only the Daolord knows."
Xiao Shi started flipping through the pages. "Nope."
Nope?
Was there no record of Destiny, or did she not know?
Right, Lu Yin suddenly thought of something. "Investigate Taicheng City."
Xiao Shi flipped through the pages, and suddenly, the pages flipped rapidly as a wisp of flame rose up and burned Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi screamed and retreated. Lu Yin raised a hand and tried to extinguish the flame with his astral source, but it was useless. This wisp of flame did not seem to belong to this space. It burned the Book of Destiny, but it did not affect this spacetime at all. Xiao Shi's hand was not injured either.
"Bu Tian!" Lu Yin barked.
Bu Tian rushed in and was shocked to see the Book of Destiny being burned. He quickly used the Xuantian Mirror to attack.
At the same time, in the Astral Tree Realm, Bai Xianer's eyes flew open as the Book of Destiny in her bosom burned. She paled. "What's going on?"
She then attacked at the same time.
The Xuantian Mirror attacked the wisp of flame across the Astral Tree Realm and the Fifth Mainland. The wisp of flame seemed to come from an indescribable height, and Lu Yin could not even touch it. It was like a calamity that targeted the Book of Destiny.
In a corner of the Fifth Mainland, nine black beads floated in front of a figure. If Lu Yin had been here, he would have recognized this person as the supposedly dead Mister Zhu. The eight beads in front of him were the ones from the Stargazing Tower. There were a total of eight beads. Astral-3's Stargazing Tower had been stolen by the Sixth Mainland, and Astral-10's Stargazing Tower had remained untouched.
When the Book of Destiny burned, Mister Zhu was annoyed. "Who dares to investigate a level that even Destiny doesn't dare to touch?" The eight beads revolved around him as he used Destiny's Law.
Three different regions, three different people, but they all had the same goal in mind, using the Law of Fate.
Only the laws of fate could affect the object of fate, and the wisp of flame that was attached to the object of fate could only be extinguished by the laws of fate.
Lu Yin watched as the Book of Destiny continued to burn. He couldn't even touch this flame, but it felt like deja vu.
He suddenly remembered the torches he had seen in the Legacy of the Mountains and Seas. Those flames were so hot that they could burn him to ashes. Was this flame the same as that one?
Lu Yin stared at the burning Book of Destiny and raised his hand again, but he still couldn't touch it. He refused to believe that he couldn't touch the Book of Destiny.
"Big Brother Lu, don't touch it." Little Shi was afraid.
Lu Yin was also afraid, and his fingers shrank back. Would he be reduced to ashes if he touched it?
At this point, the flames clearly weakened, and Lu Yin looked at Bu Tian.
Bu Tian's forehead was covered in sweat. "Several strands of Fate Law are working together. The flames are about to be extinguished."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. Since Bu Tian and the others could use the Laws of Fate to extinguish the flames, that meant that the power of this flame wasn't that great. It was just that its level was too high, and he couldn't touch it.
If he could, then did that mean that he could touch this level of power?
When he thought about this, he became even more tempted. Regardless of why this flame had appeared, or whether it was because someone didn't want the three words "Immemorial City" to be discovered, Lu Yin really wanted to obtain this flame.
He began to try and memorize the Primogenitor's Scripture. As long as there was something he couldn't solve, he would be able to solve it.
However, it was useless this time, and he still couldn't touch the flame.
He released power from his heart, where there was also Fatesand. Fatesand was also an object of fate, and he hoped that he could touch the flame.
Unfortunately, he still failed. From another perspective, if the Fatesand allowed him to touch the flame, then that meant that the flame could burn the Fatesand, which would also harm him.
Death energy was useless. Visualization was useless. It was as if the flame didn't exist. It was clearly burning, but he couldn't touch it.
This feeling was very stifling, as if there was a hand controlling him, but he couldn't resist.
The flame grew weaker and weaker until there was only a small flame left.
Lu Yin reached out and spun the die. One point meant no use. Continue. Three points meant no use. Continue.
Just as the flame was about to completely disappear, the die stopped at five. Lu Yin reached for the Book of Destiny.
He had no other choice. He had already thought of everything he could think of, and the only thing left was his innate gift.
His hand touched the Book of Destiny, and the flame vanished.
Xiao Shi heaved a sigh of relief from afar, as that flame had terrified him.
Only then did Bu Tian react. That wisp of flame had drenched his back. Even though it did not burn him, just looking at it made him feel fear. He felt like an ant when he was being looked down upon by someone from a higher level.
Lu Yin pulled his hand back and looked at the die. He saw that there was an image of a flame on the die's side, and he was delighted that he had obtained it. Although he didn't know how powerful this flame was or where it came from, if it could be used by Five, then it proved that it was an innate gift. Then, whose innate gift could it be?
That person had to be extremely terrifying, so terrifying that they could burn the Book of Destiny.
There was a thump as the Book of Destiny fell to the ground. Almost half of it had burned, and the one book had split into two.
Xiao Shi wailed, "Why is it broken? It's over, it's over. This is a book from the library. They're going to scold us."
Bu Tian glanced at Xiao Shi. Was that the problem?
This was the Book of Destiny, and this guy could even see words. Could it really be fate? He recalled Lu Yin's previous question, and he had wondered why Lu Yin had asked about being able to see words without cultivating the Xuantian Mirror. So it was because of this person.
Lu Yin waved his hand, and the Books of Destiny on the ground floated up and split between Bu Tian and Xiao Shi. "See if you can still see words."
Xiao Shi hurriedly flipped through the pages, and Bu Tian took a deep breath as well.
After a while, the two looked at each other. "There's no more words."
Lu Yin was disappointed. Was it still burned?
At that moment, the wireless gu vibrated. He glanced over and saw that it was Bai Xianer. She was one of the people who had attacked. What happened to her Book of Destiny?
Lu Yin didn't want to answer the call, but he was really curious. "What is it?"
"What did you find out?"
Bai Xianer asked in a low voice.
Lu Yin replied, "It's none of your business."
Bai Xianer frowned. "Brother Little Xuan, the universe is too big. Even a Progenitor might not understand everything. There are some things that only Progenitors have the right to know. Trying to know too early will only bring disaster."
"What happened to your Book of Destiny?"
Lu Yin asked.
Bai Xianer replied, "It's burned."
Lu Yin looked at Xiao Shi and Bu Tian. One was dejected, while the other was expressionless, but they probably hated him to death. There was nothing he could do. Who would have thought that the Book of Destiny would be destroyed in Chaitai City? He wanted to learn more from it.
"Can it be repaired?"
Lu Yin asked.
Bai Xianer replied, "It can't be repaired unless Fate appears. It's her power vessel, and only she has the ability to repair it."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. That's right, it's a power vessel. He looked at his cosmic ring. If the Progenitor's Sword could be repaired, why couldn't the Book of Destiny?
Although the Book of Destiny was mystical, the Progenitor's Sword couldn't be any weaker.
One trillion was enough to repair the Progenitor's Sword, and another trillion should be enough to repair the Book of Destiny.
He felt much better when he thought of this.
"If it can't be repaired, then it can't be repaired. There are some things that aren't good to know in advance." Lu Yin's tone relaxed, but it was especially grating to Bai Xianer's ears. "A single Book of Destiny can't reveal the truth about how to burn an item of destiny. Brother Xiaoxuan, you have two Books of Destiny."
Lu Yin denied, "You're overthinking it."
"One book can't do it."
"I told you that you're overthinking it. How can I have two books? Even if I did, it's useless. I burned them all."
Bai Xianer was helpless. Yes, they were all burned.
Ever since she was born, she had believed that she could control many things, including Lu Xiaoxuan, the Lu family, her ancestors, Bai Wangyuan, and even the entire Astral Tree. She was confident that she could control everything. Even if Lu Yin cultivated again, it wouldn't be enough to make her lose her composure. However, this was the first time she felt like she couldn't control anything.
That flame couldn't be extinguished without the power of destiny, and she hadn't expected Lu Yin to have two Books of Destiny. What was even harder to accept was that her Book of Destiny had been burned, which was equivalent to cutting off her vision.
It was like a normal person suddenly losing their sight. Bai Xianer didn't know what to do.
Lu Yin didn't know how much damage he had done to Bai Xianer in the past, but he was sure that she had suffered a great loss when her Book of Destiny was burned. In comparison, burning two books at the same time was worth it.
Lu Yin hung up. Even if the Books of Destiny couldn't be repaired, he was still satisfied. He had gotten his small revenge.
"Oh no, I'm going to be scolded," Xiao Shi was still wailing.
Lu Yin pursed his lips, "Alright, I won't be scolded. I'll say goodbye to Senior Qing Ping."
Xiao Shi nodded, "The Xuantian Mirror's cultivation method is gone, and so is Mushroom Head's promotion." He looked at Lu Yin with tears in his eyes, looking wronged.
Lu Yin was speechless. No one would be able to stand being stared at like this by a man, "I'll help you promote it, okay?"
Xiao Shi was delighted, "Really?
Thank you, Brother Lu. "
Bu Tian's eyelids twitched. That was it?
The Book of Destiny was burned, and it was resolved just like that?
Lu Yin looked at Bu Tian, "From now on, you'll stay here and teach Xiao Shi the Xuantian Mirror."
Bu Tian was surprised, "Me?
Stay here? "
Lu Yin replied, "I'll inform the Hall of Honor. You'll stay here and teach him. You can leave when he learns." With that, he left the library and headed towards Qing Ping's location.
