He Shu raised his head. "When we become extremely strong, even Lu Yin can become a demi-human."
Shao Qingfeng smiled. "That day will come. If he offends the Reincarnation Space-Time, the Primordial Space will be conquered sooner or later. Let's use the people around Lu Yin as an appetizer and let him see the people closest to him get auctioned off and become demi-humans.
"Haha, I'm really looking forward to it."
"We were the first to integrate the power of six civilizations in the Six Direction Society, so we'll definitely be at the top in the future. Why don't we set an agreement to conquer the Primordial Space?"
"Alright, I'm in."
"Me too."
…
"What about you, Xuan Qi?"
Someone asked.
Shao Qingfeng and the others looked over.
Lu Yin met everyone's gazes and smiled. "Sure."
He Shu raised his brows. He was the only one present who knew that Lu Yin had come from the Primordial Space, but when he saw Lu Yin's smile, he suddenly didn't understand.
The Primordial Space was his space-time, after all.
No one knew what Lu Yin was smiling about, but he was genuinely happy.
This way, he wouldn't have to worry about not having the motivation to take revenge for the Lu Family.
Over the next two days, everyone gathered here and waited for a woman named Yuan Qiunan to arrive. She was the disciple of the Yuan Sage.
"I heard that everyone is here to discuss conquering the Primordial Space. I congratulate everyone in advance on your success," she said happily.
Everyone hurriedly replied modestly, "Sister Qiunan, we … We're just looking forward to the future."
Yuan Qiunan continued, "My master has already heard of everyone's ambitions and is very satisfied. He specially sent me to deliver some information about the Primordial Space to everyone. He hopes that it will be of help to everyone in this trial."
Everyone was delighted. "Thank you, Senior Yuan Sage. We won't have to waste any more time investigating."
"Thank you, Senior."
"Thank you, Senior."
Yuan Qiunan left, but before she left, she expressed her satisfaction with everyone's attitude. This made everyone even more convinced that the Yuan Sage, or rather, the Reincarnation Space-Time, hated the Primordial Space. Their words became more disdainful of the Primordial Space, and they also became more hostile towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin received the information and calmly looked at it.
The information was very detailed. Everyone's location, cultivation base, and battle techniques were all marked on the list.
This was equivalent to adding a navigation system for this trial.
This wasn't a trial at all. It was just an operation to capture him, an operation to target him.
He Shu walked over to Lu Yin's side and whispered, "Don't touch the top three. Let's not talk about whether or not you have the ability to capture them. If you run into the others, they won't be polite. Be careful."
Lu Yin did not reply as he watched He Shu leave. This was probably a warning from He Ran; she cared about him because of Zijing.
As he watched the crowd excitedly discuss who to capture, Lu Yin left.
The day to go to the Origin Space had arrived. All of them gathered in the starry sky. The person who led them to the Origin Space was an unfamiliar Half-Martial Ancestor from the Reincarnation Space-Time. It was said that he was a subordinate of a Yuan Sage.
As soon as this person arrived, he raised his hand, and numerous palm-sized, glass-like lotus flowers flew into the hands of the crowd.
This was a power vessel created by a Grade Nine Venerated Lotus that could bring him directly to the Hexway Training Rites.
"This Lotus Treasure can save your lives. Don't use it unless you have no other choice. At the same time, it will be a reward before the trial begins. Once the trial ends, the Lotus Treasure will not be taken back," said the Half-Ancestor.
。
Everyone was overjoyed. This was equivalent to an extra life.
Lu Yin put away the Lotus Treasure and glanced at the others. He wanted all the good stuff.
As the void tore apart, the crowd was led by the unfamiliar Half-Ancestor. With a single step, they arrived at the Fifth Mainland.
Lu Yin looked over. Was this the edge of the Milky Way?
He saw a beach in the distance. It was so familiar.
The Hexway Society could come and go as they pleased, which made Lu Yin feel particularly insecure. He did not know how many spatial coordinates they had placed on the Fifth Mainland.
Only the Eternals had spatial coordinates, and the Hexway Society had also snatched them from them.
These spatial coordinates could be used to set a location and allow people from other space-times to come to the designated space-time. Another function was to seal it off.
It was not impossible for parallel space-times to intersect. For example, the Fifth Mainland and the three monarchs' space-times had intersected at the bottom of the Tower of Resonating Light. Back then, Gu Yue had obtained the spatial coordinates from somewhere and sealed off the passage. This was also one of the uses of spatial coordinates.
Lu Yin really wanted to obtain a large number of spatial coordinates that would allow him to freely travel through parallel space-times.
He suddenly thought of Jiang Chen. How had that guy come to Earth so many times?
It was said that his father had the ability to do so. There was also that lightning rabbit that Jiang Chen had been chasing after.
The more Lu Yin understood about parallel space-times, the more interested he became in Jiang Chen. It would be great if he could find him.
With his spatial innate gift, he might be able to run through parallel space-times like that tree one day.
"Everyone, we all know about Senior Yuan Sage. Do what you can." Shao Qingfeng looked around at the crowd, especially at Lu Yin, before leaving.
Luo Cang, He Shu, and the others also left.
With the information they had, they knew roughly where their target was. What they needed to do now was determine their location.
Lu Yin believed that their target was the Cosmic Sea.
Of the top three on the list, two were in the Cosmic Sea. They were Highsage Leon and Lei Qingqing.
One by one, they left. Shi Hong also left with Zuoyu.
Seruzen did not come.
Jiang Xiaodao came, but he was uncharacteristically quiet, as if he was thinking about something.
Lu Yin left, and no one paid attention to him. Although he was extremely talented, his cultivation and methods still mattered when it came to capturing people. He was not someone that the others cared about or feared.
After leaving the trial participants, Lu Yin quickly crossed the Astral River and returned to the Above Heaven Sect.
When he arrived, the first person he met was Wang Wen.
"Capturing people?"
Wang Wen was shocked.
Lu Yin passed the list to Wang Wen. "I guessed that the six sides would make a move, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Wang Wen continued, "And it's so childish."
Childish?
Lu Yin thought about it and agreed. "Yeah, it's a battle between parallel space-times, and they actually sent a group of people to capture hostages. It's childish, but if they succeed, it'll be very effective."
Wang Wen's expression was solemn as he put down the list and looked at Lu Yin seriously. "Why isn't my name on it?"
Lu Yin met his gaze. "Do you really want to be captured?"
"Of course not, but my name isn't on the list. They're looking down on me. I helped you unify the Outerverse and thought of many things for you, but in the end, you don't even have a name." Wang Wen was very unhappy.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Then let's teach them a lesson. They'll treat you like the Astral Beast Domain and put you at the top of their list of threats."
Wang Wen sneered. "I'll show them how powerful I am.
Look down on me?
Hmph. "
After venting his frustrations, Wang Wen picked up the list again. "Pick a few and give them to them."
Lu Yin sighed. "That's what I thought."
Wang Wen's tone was unpleasant. "They've already made their move, so we can only accept it. We need to have something that the Six Directions Society can use against us and make them think that we're unruly but controllable. That's the only way they won't directly destroy us. Otherwise, according to what you said, they'll be holding back, and that's more than enough to deal with us. I don't want to die."
"We've already provoked them and made no effort to hide our hatred, but we still need to control our actions."
Lu Yin continued, "That's why I rushed to enter the Six Directions Society as Xuan Qi. I wanted to make the first move, but unfortunately, time didn't allow for it."
Wang Wen waved the list. "Right now, they're taking hostages to force us to support the three monarchs. Since Mu Jun is with us, we'll just help. The Four Directions Scale won't be able to do anything to us, and with Senior Mu Xie and Elder Chan around, there's no need to worry about the Eternals. Even if it really comes down to it, we'll just release Mu Jun. Of course, that's the final step."
Lu Yin didn't want to take that step. If he did, not only would he have a falling out with the three monarchs, but he would also offend Hyperspace and become enemies with the entire Six Directions Society.
The Six Directions Society looked down on them and hated them because of their past grievances, but they weren't completely hostile. These were two completely different concepts.
"You can pick the hostages yourself and see who's willing to be captured. The Six Directions Society needs us, so the hostages won't be harmed," Wang Wen said.
Lu Yin knew this. "They're like hostages."
"Just like Luo Laoer," Wang Wen said before leaving. Lu Yin looked at the list for a while and crossed out a few names. Even if he wanted to give the hostages to the Six Directions Society, he would have to ask for their permission first. Now, he wanted to see what the trialtakers would do.
They would use all sorts of methods to obtain information from the Fifth Mainland, and from this, one could see the Six Directions Society's methods.
…
In the eyes of Shao Qingfeng and the others, they were in the dark while the people on the list were out in the open. They had all sorts of power, so capturing hostages wasn't a problem. The only problem was that they had to compete with each other, so it was a competition of speed.
The person closest to the Astral River Flats was naturally Mira.
She was known as the Red Lotus Witchbow and could be considered Lu Yin's guide into outer space. Without her, even if Lu Yin disguised himself as King Zishan's descendant, he might not have been able to be discovered so easily. He owed her a debt of gratitude, and she was also the one who had sent him to the Astral Combat Academy and ensured that he could join the Outerverse Youth Council.
Although Lu Yin had risen to prominence and had not contacted her much, she was still very important and was naturally one of the hostages on the list.
There were three people keeping an eye on Mira. Lu Yin had seen two of them before, but he had never spoken to them before. They were considered ordinary people in the Six Directions Training Rites.
Decades had passed, but Mira was still the same as before. Her long white hair was draped down to her ankles, and there was a cute tuft of hair on her forehead. She wore cool summer clothes, and her skin was sparkling and translucent.
The only thing that had changed was that she had matured a lot. One's temperament could change a person. Mira had once pretended to be mature, but now, her every movement was filled with mature charm.
She came from a planet called Menghuai in the Erudite Flowzone and had once followed Wen Sansi. Now, she had joined the Above the Sky Sect and was one of the countless cultivators who patrolled the Fifth Mainland.
"Return," Mira ordered as she lowered her head and looked at her gadget.
"Understood."
Not long after, the spacecraft turned around. Mira stood up and stretched. How tiring!
