Lu Yin's expression turned solemn. "How big is Hyperspace?"
Zi Jing took a deep breath. "Very big. It's not much smaller than the Fifth Mainland and the Starry Sky Tree."
Lu Yin was incredulous. "They can analyze everything in such a large space?"
Zi Jing replied, "That's why Hyperspace can remain one of the Six Direction Associations even though it's a cultivation desert."
"I escaped from Hyperspace to the Fifth Mainland by chance. After coming here, I thought that I would never be discovered by Hyperspace, but as I learned more about the Fifth Mainland, I realized …" Zi Jing was helpless. "This spacetime has a foundation beyond my imagination. As the Daolord becomes stronger, it's only a matter of time before it connects to Hyperspace. That's why I took out the battlefield navigation system in exchange for Daolord's promise."
Lu Yin listened quietly.
"I knew that this place would connect to Hyperspace sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. I don't know why, but I was suddenly located a few days ago. It's only a matter of time before Hyperspace finds me. Once they do, they'll definitely think of a way to capture me."
"Daolord." Zi Jing looked at Lu Yin, stood up, and bowed deeply. "Formal introduction. I am Zi Jing, the Vice Leader of Hyperspace Energy Research Team. Greetings."
Lu Yin looked at Zi Jing, who maintained her bow.
"Are you very important to them?"
"Very important. Although my technology isn't top-notch, it's very crucial. Without me, they'll have to spend a very long time on this technology, and they might not be able to find a way to break through it. I was only able to break through that technology by luck."
Lu Yin understood. "The battlefield navigation system is Hyperspace's technology?"
"It's a technology that our energy research team inadvertently simulated and used in Hyperspace. I'm also one of the developers."
"No wonder you came to the Fifth Mainland to find a way to connect to the internet. For someone like you, not being connected to the internet is like living in a remote mountain."
Zi Jing didn't speak and maintained her bow.
Lu Yin suddenly drew in the void and drew the two youths who had followed Yuan Sage here. "Look at them. Do you recognize them?"
Zi Jing looked up and saw the man in the blue and white jacket. She exclaimed, "He Shu?"
Lu Yin exhaled. So they really did know each other. That made sense.
It was impossible to locate Zi Jing from countless parallel spacetimes unless one relied on luck. When Zi Jing was suddenly located, Lu Yin could only think of Yuan Sheng and the others, especially that young man. His attire and the device on his right eye were too eye-catching. It was almost identical to the battlefield navigation system and the combat strength detector. Therefore, Lu Yin had taken note of him.
"No wonder I was located. He Shu must have sensed that the Fifth Continent has a battlefield navigation system, so he confirmed that I am in this space-time and targeted this space-time," Zi Jing said.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Can Hyperspace locate our space-time?"
Zi Jing replied, "Hyperspace has the ability to travel through spacetime, which is something that no other spacetime can compare to. However, it's only capable of locating a location. If you want to come over, you'll need coordinates, but that's not difficult for Hyperspace. The Six Directional Guilds all have their own coordinates, so they can come to our spacetime."
The more he listened, the more interested he became. If Zi Jing wasn't exaggerating, then the power of cultivation techniques in this dimension was similar to microarray technology, and it could transform humans.
Half a day later, Lu Yin gripped his teacup tightly. "Since I promised to protect you, I won't go back on my word."
He looked at Zi Jing and thought for a moment. "What kind of punishment will you face if you return to Hyperspace?
Why did you escape in the first place? "
Zi Jing saw through Lu Yin's thoughts. "You want to go to Hyperspace?"
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "We don't know anything about the Six Directional Guilds, but they keep an eye on us. We're too passive."
Zi Jing muttered, "If you really want to go to Hyperspace, then you must be prepared. At the very least, you must be sure that you can return."
Lu Yin replied, "You don't have to worry about that. I have a plan."
Eternal Kingdom's spatial coordinate seal could leave behind more than one aura. He could have someone from the Fifth Mainland leave behind their own aura and then use the seal to find Eternal Kingdom. Then, he could use that person to sense the Fifth Mainland's space and return.
"What about you?
What kind of punishment will you face if you return to Hyperspace? "
Lu Yin asked. He didn't want Zi Jing to die.
Zi Jing replied, "Imprisonment, coercion, and even intimidation."
"You won't die, right?"
"No, they need me. For me, they'll do everything they can to come to this spacetime and take me away."
Lu Yin nodded. "You can actually find Hyperspace in the vast parallel spacetime, right?"
Zi Jing replied, "I can find it."
"How long will it take for someone from Hyperspace to arrive?"
"Very soon."
Lu Yin had Zi Jing return to her own residence. If she stayed in the Above the Sky Sect, then Hyperspace might not dare to come looking for her.
After making arrangements for Zi Jing, Lu Yin found Elder Chan and took him to Eternal Kingdom. He left his aura on the spatial coordinate seal and then found Senior Brother Qing Ping. He also left his aura and asked them to go to Eternal Kingdom every once in a while to confirm whether or not he had returned.
Only two people would be safe.
He then began to make arrangements for the Fifth Mainland. There was no need for him to announce that he was in seclusion, as doing so would only make him seem guilty.
Before leaving, he also found Little Sapling, who was very happy and played with him for half a day.
The Cosmic Tree Realm was quiet for the time being. The four Scales were definitely discussing how to take over the war against Eternal Kingdom. The six powers would definitely force them to do something, but this didn't bother Lu Yin for the time being. The Yuan Sage's attitude didn't affect him either.
His only worry was that something would happen to Shenwu Continent. He was afraid that the three Sovereigns would attack, and when that happened, Xia Shenji would be there as well.
Fortunately, Elder Chan and Senior Brother Mu Xie would provide support, which made him feel much more at ease.
After everything was prepared, Lu Yin went to Zi Jing's residence, which was the Neoverse's Starlink Realm. There, he quietly waited for people from Hyperspace to arrive.
Starlink Realm was still the same as before, and there hadn't been much change inside.
When he arrived, Lu Yin suddenly thought of someone: Bai Qian.
"Where did Bai Qian go?"
Lu Yin asked.
Zi Jing replied, "First, she went to the Cosmic Tree Realm, then to Hyperspace."
Lu Yin was surprised. "She went to Hyperspace?
Why did she go there? "
"That was her own choice, and it has something to do with you, Path Master," Zi Jing replied with admiration and nostalgia. "It was fate that brought us together, and we're like sisters. She came from a small place like Earth, and although she wasn't dazzling, her path was more solid than anyone else's. However, she was overshadowed by your radiance. She seems calm on the surface, but I know that she won't admit defeat.
"She said that the cultivation system here isn't suitable for her, including the Cosmic Tree Realm. She wants to find a more suitable cultivation system.
The Cosmic Tree Realm and Hyperspace are very suitable for her. "
Lu Yin sighed. Although he hadn't met Bai Qian many times, there were legends of her on Earth. She was the one who had brought Nightking Qingyu from Jupiter to Earth, bringing about the apocalypse and evolution of Earth. She herself had left Earth with Starsibyl's invitation and was the first person to step onto the path of cultivation.
In fact, Lu Yin hadn't been able to surpass her during his time in the Astral Combat Academy. The main reason he had been able to surpass her was because of his life and death experiences on Driftcharge Planet and because he had learned the Arcane Art of Life and Death. Otherwise, if he had cultivated normally, this woman might have surpassed him.
She was an Earthling through and through, and she had left her mark in outer space.
"How is she doing in Hyperspace?"
Lu Yin was curious.
Zi Jing shook her head. "I don't know. We're separated by parallel spacetime, so I can't confirm any news about her."
"Maybe we'll meet again in Hyperspace," Lu Yin said.
One day, two days, three days … A total of ten days passed by.
Lu Yin waited calmly.
Finally, on the twelfth day in the Astral Alliance Realm, he opened his eyes.
The ground of the Astral Alliance Realm was covered in a dense forest, and animals ran past it from time to time. To these animals, this was the only place they would ever see.
There was a crack as a metal-clad foot stepped on a tree branch and broke it, scaring the rabbit away.
Sunlight shone through the tree branches, reflecting the light and illuminating a middle-aged man.
The man raised his head and looked at the distant tower, the dark green lens on his right eye flashing with a red dot. "Is she there?
I've finally found her. "His body suddenly vanished. It wasn't that he had traveled through the void, but rather that he had moved so quickly that he had caused ripples in space.
In an instant, the man arrived at the bottom of the tower. He raised his foot and took a step forward, instantly appearing at the top of the tower behind Zi Jing, who was watering the flowers.
The water in Zi Jing's watering head slowly decreased until it stopped flowing.
"Long time no see, Zi Jing," the middle-aged man said.
Zi Jing didn't turn around. She put down the watering head and sighed. "You guys still found me."
"It's all thanks to Lord He Shu. Otherwise, we would never have been able to find you. Your departure caused a lot of trouble and caused a lot of losses," the middle-aged man said slowly.
Zi Jing turned around and looked at the man. "I didn't want to either, but once that technology was broken, the disaster would be too severe."
The middle-aged man's gaze turned cold. "I don't care about the technology. All I know is that your departure caused the entire Energy Research Team to disband and caused the deaths of more than a thousand people. Now, come with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and saw Lu Yin walking out of the door. "Who's there?"
The man frowned, and the lens on his right eye flashed with numbers before finally stopping. "270,000. That's equivalent to an Enlighter in your spacetime." He raised his hand and pointed it at Lu Yin.
Zi Jing's expression changed. "Stop! If you kill him, I'll die immediately."
The middle-aged man frowned.
Lu Yin leaped forward and pulled out a long blade from his cosmic ring. "Scram!" He slashed down.
The middle-aged man didn't move and allowed Lu Yin's blade to strike his face. A thin layer of metal instantly covered his face, and even though Lu Yin's blade could distort the void with his Enlighter's power level, it couldn't harm the man at all.
The middle-aged man grabbed the blade and exerted some strength, causing the blade to shatter with a bang. He then pointed at Lu Yin's forehead and stopped.
Lu Yin was stunned and didn't dare to move. Beads of sweat dripped down his forehead.
