Zi Jing opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Lu Yin was the ruler of the Fifth Mainland, and he was a Dao Master. She could kneel and beg for mercy, but she couldn't do the same for Lu Yin. She couldn't reprimand him either.
She had specifically reminded him not to blaspheme, but she had been afraid that something like this would happen.
"Kneel," a pleasant voice reprimanded.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed.
Zi Jing's face paled. "Sir, he doesn't know the rules, and he's not from Spacetime. Please give him another chance. Please, sir."
At this moment, another voice came from the side. It was cold and arrogant. "What made Sister He so angry?"
Lu Yin turned around and looked at the newcomer in surprise. Bai Qian?
The person who had suddenly appeared was Bai Qian, the first person to leave Earth. She was a legendary woman who was considered perfect on Earth.
Ever since Lu Yin had stepped onto the path of cultivation, he had walked far too far, and even Half-Ancestors had to look up to him. However, he could never forget Bai Qian. She was like a mark that was deeply imprinted in his memory. Even if he had only seen her once or twice, this memory would never fade.
With Bai Qian's arrival, a frigid air froze the ground and spread towards the stairs. Even the flowers were frozen, and the creatures that were playing around screamed and fled.
"Bai Qian, what are you doing here?"
A pleasant voice sounded out, and everything returned to normal.
Bai Qian's expression was cold, and although her gaze was gentle, it couldn't hide the chill that came from the bottom of her heart. She was like an iceberg that couldn't be melted and would only freeze everything around her. "Your people did well in the battlefield of Drifting Cloud, and I saw it. Qiu Zhan is frantically requesting the council to increase the number of people sent to the Hexagon Training Grounds. Whether it's from the aristocratic families or the military, your strategy is correct."
"Of course. As someone from Spacetime, I see things much more clearly than you. I've said this before, and I'll say it again."
Bai Qian looked up at the stairs. "Have you ever thought about going to the Hexagon Training Grounds yourself?"
"Bai Qian, recognize your position. Although you can't beat me, we're on the same level as each other. Don't do lowly things and stay with those filthy mortals. You're not only embarrassing yourself, but you'll also blaspheme Spacetime."
Bai Qian looked away. "The more you say that, the more I want to go."
No sound came from the stairs.
Bai Qian looked at Zi Jing, who was kneeling on the ground. "She is Zi Jing?"
"It has nothing to do with you." The melodious voice sounded again.
Bai Qian looked at Lu Yin curiously. "Why isn't he kneeling?
Looks like Sister He likes him a lot. "
"You can go now," the melodious voice said.
The corners of Bai Qian's mouth curled up. Even though it was a smile, it still looked exceptionally cold. "What's your name?"
She was asking Lu Yin.
Lu Yin met her gaze but did not reply.
Bai Qian asked again, "What's your name?"
Lu Yin still didn't answer. Although he had used Death Mask to change his appearance, it hadn't changed much. With Bai Qian's intelligence, she would be able to guess his identity with a little analysis. Now that she had asked this question, coupled with her conversation with the person above, Lu Yin knew what to do.
"It's none of your business," Lu Yin replied.
Suddenly, laughter rang out from the staircase. It was very pleasant to the ears, and it melted Lu Yin's heart. He resisted the urge to look up, as that woman's appearance had piqued his curiosity. He had been so focused on his eyes that he hadn't noticed.
Now that he had a clear view of her appearance.
"Bai Qian, you can go now. I won't tell you," the voice said with a smile.
Bai Qian looked deeply at Lu Yin. "Do you know who I am?"
Lu Yin remained calm.
Bai Qian turned to look at the staircase. This time, her expression was completely cold and emotionless. "Your people don't know the rules," she said before turning to leave.
After she left, Zi Jing continued to plead, "My Lord, please forgive Xuan Qi on account of his ignorance. I beg of you, my Lord."
"Xuan Qi, do you know who that person is?"
The voice asked.
Lu Yin lowered his head. "No, and I don't want to know."
"Why?"
"I belong to you, my Lord."
"Haha, you're very smart, much smarter than most people here. Many people are trying to win, but they don't know that no matter who wins, we'll have to deal with them in the end. I can guarantee that she'll definitely lose." He paused. "But before that happens, she might take your life. She's a veteran of the battlefield, and she's more ruthless than anyone."
Zi Jing was shocked. "My Lord, please save Xuan Qi."
"Don't worry, Zi Jing. Xuan Qi is smart, and I'm waiting for him to work for me. How about this, you can go to the Hexagon Training Hall. She won't be able to affect anything there."
Lu Yin was confused. "The Hexagon Training Hall?"
"Uncle Mo, please take Xuan Qi there. Without your protection, he'll probably die once he leaves this place."
Not far away, a man walked out of the void. "Got it."
Lu Yin looked at the man, the one who had been staring at him. He stared at the man's heart, where the black energy source was. In the Hyperspace Continuum, this person was equivalent to a Progenitor.
A person protected by an Ancestor realm expert?
What was this woman's status?
What was she competing with Bai Qian for?
Uncle Mo placed a hand on Lu Yin's shoulder, and Lu Yin almost resisted. "Let's go," he said, tearing through the void and vanishing with Lu Yin.
Zi Jing heaved a sigh of relief; the blasphemy had been ignored because of Bai Qian's appearance. If not for her, she didn't know what would have happened today.
"This Xuan Qi is interesting. No wonder you like him," a voice said.
Zi Jing respectfully replied, "Thank you for letting him go, sir."
"Haha, I didn't let him go. He fought for it himself. If he had dared to curry favor with Bai Qian back then, he would be nothing but a shell now."
Zi Jing felt a chill run down her spine. Fortunately, Bai Qian had appeared, or things would have been troublesome.
How could that be? The most likely possibility was that Xuan Qi had captured Xuan Qi and taken him to the Fifth Mainland. However, if that happened, the Hyperspace Continuum and the Fifth Mainland would definitely go to war.
She rejoiced that she had sent Bai Qian to the Hyperspace Continuum.
Elsewhere, Lu Yin had been brought to a desolate planet by Uncle Mo. There were many large spacecraft around the planet.
This was his first time seeing a Hyperspace spacecraft.
The overall appearance was not much different from the Fifth Mainland's, but it was filled with the Hyperspace Continuum's style. Every spacecraft had an energy source that formed a protective zone.
Uncle Mo took a step forward and brought Lu Yin into one of the spacecraft.
Within the spacecraft's command room, several people were arguing about something. When Uncle Mo appeared, they were startled and quickly bowed. "Greetings, Uncle Mo."
"Greetings, Uncle Mo."
"Greetings, Uncle Mo."
Uncle Mo released Lu Yin.
"His name is Xuan Qi. Take him directly to the Hexagon Training Ground." He then disappeared.
The others bowed again. "Yes, Uncle Mo."
They all looked up and curiously sized up Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at them as well.
"Little brother, come and have a seat." One of them was very enthusiastic.
The others looked on.
Lu Yin walked over naturally and sat down. "Do you have tea?"
"Yes." The person beside him immediately had someone bring tea over.
Lu Yin nodded. "You guys continue. Don't worry about me."
They all looked at each other and guessed what each other was thinking. This person was definitely a big shot, and if Uncle Mo was personally escorting him, could he be one of that person's people?
The more natural Lu Yin acted, the more they thought that he was a big shot.
However, Lu Yin was not deliberately acting natural; he really did not care. He was the Fifth Mainland's Daolord and someone who could fight against a Progenitor. If not for Bai Qian's appearance, he might have already captured that woman. He wanted to see what kind of person was so delicate that even looking at her was blasphemous.
Sooner or later, he would capture her.
"What are you guys doing?"
Lu Yin asked curiously as he listened to their discussion.
A middle-aged woman smiled. "We're devising a challenge. Some people will be sent to the Six Directional Training Rites while others will be eliminated."
"Oh?
Is that so? Are there a lot of people going to the Six Directional Training Rites? "
Lu Yin asked.
The middle-aged woman replied, "Quite a few. News of Shi Hong's performance has spread throughout the universe, and many aristocratic families want to send their children over. Qiu Zhan also sent over a thousand people to the Six Directional Training Rites, but there's a limit to the number of people who can go. Someone has to be eliminated."
"Since General Qiu Zhan is so enthusiastic, how many people are participating?"
"No less than a hundred thousand."
"That many?"
"There's no other way. We're not stupid, and we can see that our civilizations are merging and complementing each other. This is the future, and no one wants to be left behind."
Lu Yin said, "Yes, that's why I'm being forced to go to the Six Directional Training Rites."
They all looked at each other. Forced?
How many people wanted to go but could not? This person was indeed a big shot.
Not long after, the spacecraft landed on the planet, and the advancement process began.
These people were the judges who had been selected to enter the Six Directional Training Rites. They gathered together and watched the screens, watching everyone's performance. Lu Yin was watching as well. No one chased him away, and he could go wherever he wanted.
Through the screens, he saw Zuo Yu, Luo Laoer, and Mudo. Most of the people who had been fighting on the platform in the Drifting Cloud Space had arrived, including that muscular man.
The elimination process naturally could not use energy sources, and these people were too weak, so the difficulty was not high. In the Fifth Mainland, these people would only be able to participate in the Astral Combat Academy's trials.
The competition between more than a hundred thousand people was very interesting. These people fought against each other, but they also formed small circles that supported each other. They survived day and night on this desolate planet as they constantly approached the spacecraft.
Two days later, someone arrived outside the spacecraft. He was the first to complete the selection process, and he was a rather tall man. He was an Explorer and stood out from the rest of the group.
His strength as an Explorer was purely based on his physical strength, as the people from the Six Directional Training Rites did not cultivate.
There were not many Explorers in this group, so they were naturally the first to arrive, followed by the second, third, and so on.
