Lu Yin suddenly realized the biggest weakness of the Six Directions Association's parallel spacetime cultivation. Whether it was the Void God Spacetime, the Wood Spacetime, or the Three Sovereigns Spacetime, everyone cultivated the power of a Ruler. No matter how high their cultivation was, they would never be able to surpass the threshold of a Ruler.
If the Void Master died, what would happen to the Void God Spacetime?
Although Senior Xu Wuwei controlled space and was ancient and powerful, he would never be able to surpass the Void Master. This was because the power that he cultivated came from the Void Master.
The Fifth Mainland was different. Although the Primogenitor's Astral Sources were spread throughout spacetime, not everyone cultivated them. The Grim Reaper, Fate, and others had created their own powers.
Neither Progenitor Chen nor the Symbol Progenitor had completely cultivated the Primogenitor's power.
Perhaps this was why the Above Heaven Sect was so brilliant.
The opposite was the Reincarnation Spacetime.
Under Xu Wuji's guidance, the two easily entered the Void God Vortex.
In the distance, the battlefield was still in full swing. This vortex strengthened the cultivators of the Void God Spacetime while weakening the Corpse Kings. Although it looked like a vortex, it only blocked the Corpse Kings. For those who cultivated the Void God Spacetime, it was a cultivation holy land.
They could use the vortex's characteristics to move quickly, but the Corpse Kings could not.
Pairs of scarlet eyes looked over from different directions to reinforce the battlefield.
Xu Wuji directly attacked and easily erased the scarlet eyes.
Lu Yin also attacked, his bone spear piercing through a large group of Corpse Kings and causing blood to spray out of the vortex.
"We can't kill them all. Let's go." Xu Wuji led Lu Yin forward, traversing an unknown distance. When Lu Yin finally stopped, he saw a huge stone city with three words written on it: New Inn.
"Xu Wuji and Xuan Qi, visit the new inn!" Xu Wuji shouted.
With a bang, a Corpse King appeared out of nowhere and crashed into the stone city wall, turning into a pool of blood.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. This new inn really did exist at the frontlines. Everyone thought that it would be destroyed sooner or later.
The stone city gates opened and two large men gestured for them to enter.
Lu Yin looked at the two big men. They were at least three meters tall, and they were neither giants nor normal humans. They were just a little taller, and their cultivations were at the peak of the Void Realm, which meant that they were at the peak of the Emissary Realm. They were only one step away from the Half-Progenitor Realm.
Most of the people who came to the new inn were trying to avoid being hunted down by their enemies in the space-time. These people were able to escape from the space-time to the new inn, which meant that they were not easy to deal with. There was no one with low cultivation here.
On the way here, Xu Wuji had said that even though there was only one Virtual Tai Realm expert, Qiu Qiu, there were at least five Virtual Transformation Realm experts, which was a terrifying number. Before the Crazy Old Man was exposed, there was not a single Virtual Transformation Realm expert in the Heaven's Mirror Manor. Outsiders thought it was normal. It was obvious that Virtual Transformation Realm experts were not common, but this new inn had so many of them.
Bang
With another loud bang, another Corpse King crashed into the wall and died.
This new inn's stone city shouldn't have been this color, but after so many years, it had been dyed a dark red, almost black. It was unknown how many corpse kings' blood had dyed it.
This was not Xu Wuji's first time here. "Aside from helping people hide from their enemies, this is also an inn in the outside world. Everything from eating to resting can be done here. It's like an inn on a battlefield, but there's a price to pay."
Lu Yin replied, "Of course there's a price. Otherwise, this place would have been destroyed a long time ago."
Xu Wuji led Lu Yin into the new inn.
From the outside, it looked like a giant stone city, but from the inside, it looked like an inn. Tables were arranged in rows, and waiters shuttled back and forth. It was very lively.
There were more than a thousand tables, and most of them were full.
The waiters shuttling back and forth to serve food and wine were all at the Void Realm.
This was a scene that would never be seen in the outside world.
These people all had hidden pasts, and since the new inn had accommodated them, they had to adapt to its rules.
This place was basically giving these people a chance to extend their lives, but they would eventually die.
"What would the two of you like to eat?"
A waiter asked enthusiastically as he wiped down a table for the two.
Xu Wuji and Lu Yin sat on either side of the table, and Lu Yin looked around curiously. The outside world was the battlefield of the Life and Death Grinders, and once one left, it was hard to predict whether they would survive or not. However, this place was not oppressive at all. In fact, it was very lively. The waiters and managers were all smiling, and they all looked very cheerful.
"Give me some of your specialties," Xu Wuji said.
At that moment, a rather mature woman walked over. She was dressed in heavy makeup and patted the back of the waiter's head. "You're blind. These are the Heaven's Reflection Manor's Manor Head and Acting Manor Head. Go away, I'll do it."
The waiter smiled. "Alright." He then turned around and walked over to another table. "What else would you like to order?
I'll be right there. "
The woman pressed her hands on the table and smiled charmingly at Xu Wuji before looking at Lu Yin. "Why have the two lords from the Heaven's Reflection Manor come here?
Do you need our help with something? "
Xu Wuji looked at the woman. "Bring me Chou Chou."
"Haha, the boss is very busy. If you have any orders, please feel free to tell me. If I can help, I'll definitely do it." The woman smiled. Although she was dressed in heavy makeup, she did not look disagreeable.
Lu Yin smiled. "You're the boss's wife?"
The woman gasped and covered her mouth. "Acting Manor Head, don't say such things. If the boss hears you," she giggled. "Haha, I'll be embarrassed."
"It'll happen sooner or later," Lu Yin smiled.
The woman giggled. "Acting Manor Head, you really know how to talk. No wonder so many people like you. However, the boss is indeed very busy today. How about we come back another day?"
Xu Wuji sneered and slammed his hand on the table, causing ripples to spread out and shake the entire inn.
Instantly, the woman's eyes turned cold, and her killing intent soared to the heavens as she stared at Ji Wuji. She wasn't the only one. Everyone in the tavern looked over with bone-chilling coldness. They were not afraid of Ji Wuji's power.
These people had been able to escape all the way to the new inn, and they had all experienced life and death situations. They had lived on the frontlines of the battlefield and were not afraid of death. If someone wanted to die, even if it was Xu Wuji, they would still dare to bare their teeth.
Many of the people who had come to the new inn to eat were here for the first time, and they had never seen these people in such a state before. Many of them were shocked.
The new inn was completely silent.
"See, this is the new inn," Xu Wuji said calmly.
A sharp triangular weapon had appeared in the woman's hand at some point, and she stared at Xu Wuji. "Rest, Manor Head. We welcome you. If you want to cause trouble, you'll have to step over all of our corpses."
The enthusiastic waiter from before seemed to have become a completely different person. There was a faint stench of blood around him, and there was a bone-deep killing intent in his eyes.
There were at least a hundred gazes all around them, and there were quite a few Void Transformation Realm powerhouses among them. Even Lu Yin felt pressured.
"Xu Wuji, our grudges have already been settled. What, do you still want to cause trouble?"
A voice sounded out from the corner. It was an old man who was pouring tea for a guest. He was a Void Transformation Realm cultivator and looked sinister and terrifying.
Xu Wuji coldly replied, "This has nothing to do with you. Get lost."
"Brother Wuji, the new inn is filled with pitiful people. Why do you have to be like this?" someone else spoke up. This person was also a Void Transformation Realm cultivator, and his voice was cultured and refined. It was someone who sounded like an accountant from the second floor.
Xu Wuji looked up. "Why are you pretending to be a good person? That's not what you said when you destroyed the human race."
He then looked around. "There are no good people in the new inn. No matter why you fled here, the outside world will not tolerate you, so you should stay here and fight to the death for the human race. Cut the crap."
"Ha, what arrogance," someone else spoke up, and this one was a Void Transformation Realm cultivator. Lu Yin felt numb; there were too many Void Transformation Realm cultivators here, and each one was more powerful than the last. This person didn't even care about Xu Wuji.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Thud!
Footsteps sounded out, and everyone looked towards the corner where a man was walking down. His face was green, and he looked quite strange. His eyes were as calm as still water, and the most eye-catching thing about him was his broken leg, which was replaced by a piece of wood. Every step he took caused the wood to clatter loudly against the ground.
He was Chou Xue, the owner of the new inn.
At this moment, no one spoke. They all watched as Chou Xue slowly walked towards Xu Wuji. It was not a long walk, but it took him quite some time.
Xu Wuji did not say anything, nor did he rush Chou Xue. He just watched.
Chou Xue walked until he was a few meters away from Xu Wuji. "Looking for trouble?"
Xu Wuji coldly replied, "Not interested."
Chou Xue's gaze landed on the table. "It's broken. Compensation." He then walked past Xu Wuji, clearly not interested in receiving him.
"Where's Old Crazy?"
Xu Wuji asked.
Chou Xue stopped, and he happened to be level with Lu Yin. His back was facing Xu Wuji. "He broke my new inn's rules, so he should be punished. Are you going to interfere?"
Xu Wuji solemnly replied, "No matter what, he's still a member of my Horizon Manor. He's done a great service in capturing the spy."
"Here, he has done nothing wrong. He just wants to live," Chou Xue said coldly.
Xu Wuji said, "Give me some face and let me take him away."
Chou Xue turned around and met Xu Wuji's eyes. "No."
Xu Wuji's eyes narrowed, but Chou Xue did not mind. The atmosphere was solemn.
Around them, a thick killing intent filled the air.
With a clang, a guest left. Soon after, a large group of guests left as well.
None of them dared to stay behind when facing a Virtual Realm expert. If they did not die at the hands of the Eternals, then they would be killed by the shockwaves.
There were also some guests who didn't want to leave, but the people at the new inn didn't care. They all gathered around Lu Yin and Xu Wuji. They showed no respect for Lu Yin, who was a Virtual Realm powerhouse, and their eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Just as the woman had said, if anyone wanted to cause trouble, they would have to step over her dead body. No one in the new inn was afraid of death.
Lu Yin coughed and stood up. "Senior Chou Xue, can you let us see Old Crazy?"
Everyone's eyes focused on Lu Yin, and the pressure on him instantly increased.
Chou Xue's gaze seemed calm, but this person had established the new inn, and his experiences were unimaginable. His calm gaze brought with it a mountainous pressure.
"Xuan Qi?"
Chou Xue asked.
Lu Yin bowed. "That's me."
Chou Xue stared at Lu Yin. "You're very good."
As soon as he said those words, all of the pressure disappeared. Regardless of whether it was Chou Xue or the people of the new inn, their gazes towards Lu Yin suddenly became gentle.
