Lu Yuan nodded and coughed, "If you don't mind me asking, how did you cultivate your divine force?"
Lu Yin answered, "I accidentally encountered some divine force and it entered my body."
Lu Yuan's face twitched. After thinking for a long time, he muttered, "Don't be so despicable in the future." With that, he left without looking back.
Lu Yin found it funny. Looking at Lu Yuan's departing figure, the old man's mood was heavier than his.
Lu Yin cultivated his divine force, but they allowed him to do as he pleased. The old man must be in a bad mood right now.
In the Starry Sky Tree, Lu Yuan returned and went straight to Lu Tianyi, "Little Seven cultivated his divine force?"
Lu Tianyi nodded calmly, "He told me."
"What did you say?"
"I trust him."
Lu Yuan clutched his forehead, "My head hurts."
Lu Tianyi looked at Lu Yuan, "I really trust him."
Lu Yuan sighed, "I don't. You don't understand the characteristics of the only True God's power. If it's so easy to break free from control, why would the Eternals trust it?
It's not just a kind of power, it's also a belief. "
"Then, what do you plan to do?" Lu Tianyi looked at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan shook his head, "Keep an eye on Little Seven. If he's controlled by the divine force, bring him back. Lu Family will bear his responsibility. At worst, the family will take care of him from now on. Let this child accompany me in Lu Tianjing."
"He likes freedom."
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, "If it's a matter of survival, we'll all die before him. At that time, he'll be free."
Lu Tianyi looked at Lu Yuan and found that the old man had aged a lot.
Half a month passed. During this time, Lu Yin found Grandpa Chan and invited him to go to the outer region with him. At the same time, he decided on a candidate. Firstly, the Hellfire Dragon could only be used as a mount. Secondly, he needed someone to run errands. Jiang Chen was one of them. Lu Yin decided on Ghost Monkey. Ghost Monkey could hide in the shadow. Even Ancestor realm experts might not be able to detect him if they weren't paying attention. After all, he wasn't weak and had received part of Progenitor Wushang's memories.
There was one more person that he had decided to bring along after much consideration: Zhao Ran.
This trip to the Outer Realms might be dangerous, or it might just be a time-consuming trip. Having a beautiful maid who could make him tea was not a bad idea. Most importantly, he did not dare to leave Zhao Ran in Above Heaven. She definitely had an unclear relationship with Fate. If she remembered anything, it would be difficult to control her in Above Heaven.
He couldn't let Old Ancestor Tianyi stay in Above Heaven all year round.
The only thing he could do was to bring this uncertain factor along with him. Of course, it would also be dangerous for him, but he would rather keep him by his side for observation than leave him in the Above Heaven Sect.
As for Elder Chan, his cultivation level was ordinary. Although he could occasionally produce miraculous effects in the Ancestral World, it was useless against Sequence experts. However, it was different if he went all out. One of the Three Yang Ancestral Qi was Patriarch Tianyi. Once he went all out, the strength he could produce was absolutely inestimable. It was enough to shock any enemy.
Apart from them, Lu Yin only needed to wait for news from Jiang Chen.
With Jiang Chen and Jiang Qingyue as the Lightning Lord's children, they should have some means to protect themselves.
Before leaving, Lu Yin decided to make a trip to the Ice Spirit Region to bid farewell to Yan 'er.
Throughout his decades of cultivation, Yan 'er had not spent much time with him, but she had represented his ignorant youth.
Lu Yin had interacted with many women in his life, but the one who had truly caused him heartache, the one who he cared about, and the one who he would never be able to give up, was Yan'er.
Soon, Lu Yin tore through the void and arrived at the Ice Spirit Region.
The Ice Master knew that Lu Yin had arrived and hurriedly came out to welcome him.
Lu Yin was led to Bing Xin by the Ice Master, where he stared at her in a daze.
The Ice Master did not disturb him and left.
Lu Yin stared at Bing Xin with a complicated gaze.
How many people in a person's life could accompany them for the rest of their lives?
No matter if they were poor, rich, old, sick, or dead, there would always be someone to accompany them when they were at their loneliest. There would always be a smiling face that they wanted to see the most when they missed them.
The comfort of waking up from nightmares, the warm porridge that came when one was hungry, the occasional drink, the occasional dance, and the only person in their eyes was himself. That was enough.
Lu Yin did not want much. He had always pursued the most ordinary life. The Lu family's return, the human race's peace, his wife's company, and his children's flock. These simple wishes had always been difficult to realize.
It was as if these were the rules of the universe. The stronger one was, the less they could protect the things they cared about.
Lu Yin stood in front of Bing Xin and stared blankly. Three days passed in a flash.
On the fourth day, a beautiful figure walked over and interrupted Lu Yin's daze.
"Brother Lu, you will meet your wife one day." Jiang Qingyue's voice rang out. She had been cultivating in the Ice Spirit Region all this time.
Lu Yin exhaled and adjusted his state of mind. He looked back and asked, "Are you ready?
Let's go outside together? "
Jiang Qingyue replied, "Jiang Chen can't go."
Lu Yin was surprised. "Why?"
"Master said that he spends most of his time wandering through parallel spacetimes, so going outside is like traveling. That's why he's not allowed to go. He's staying by his side to cultivate," Jiang Qingyue said. Lu Yin did not know if it was just his imagination, but he could hear that she was taking pleasure in his misfortune.
"Your master?
Kong Tianzhao? "
"Yes."
"Then, what about you?"
The Ancestral Tortoise climbed up from behind Jiang Qingyue and shouted proudly, "Of course our young master will go. Do you welcome him?"
Jiang Qingyue frowned. "He wants to be confined again?"
The Ancestral Tortoise immediately shrank back. "I'm sorry, young master."
Lu Yin was amused. "He didn't go with you last time because he was confined?"
Jiang Qingyue said indifferently, "Master said that he's become arrogant."
Lu Yin looked at Jiang Qingyue. "You'll go outside with me?"
Jiang Qingyue hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I rarely go to other parallel spacetimes outside of the Sixth Mainland. Master wants me to travel more often."
Lu Yin nodded. "Since the candidates have been decided, let's go."
"Right, I want to leave something for the Ice Spirit before I leave."
Lu Yin found the Ice Master and asked for a few extreme ice stones.
The Ice Master was excited. She knew that Lu Yin could upgrade external items, so she naturally wanted to upgrade them. Even if they couldn't reach Bing Xin's level, they could still become her delicacies and make up for the loss of the Frozen Corpse.
A day later, Lu Yin handed four extreme ice stones to the Ice Master.
The Ice Master's breathing quickened as he looked at the four floating stones. "Master Lu, why are there so many?"
Lu Yin replied, "I don't want anything to happen to Bing Xin."
The Ice Master replied, "I understand, but to upgrade it by so much, what's the price?"
"I know what I'm doing."
Upgrading four extreme ice stones had cost a total of twenty trillion star essence, which was quite a hefty price to pay. However, compared to Yan'er, Lu Yin was more than willing to pay. He would rather lose more resources than have anything happen to Bing Xin.
Although these four extreme ice stones couldn't reach Bing Xin's level, they could still become delicacies for her.
It wasn't that he didn't want to upgrade it to Bing Xin's level, but even if he did, he couldn't control the reaction of the Bing Xin beneath the Icespirit Domain. He also didn't know what the Ice Master's attitude would be when faced with the temptation of Bing Xin.
Lu Yin never underestimated human nature. There were good people and evil people, and it was the same for other lifeforms.
Besides, he didn't know how many resources he would need to upgrade to Bing Xin's level or how many times he would have to upgrade it. If he spent too much, it would be useless to him, and that would be a waste.
This was enough for now.
…
In the back mountains of the Above the Sky Sect, Elder Chan, Jiang Qingyue, and a confused Zhao Ran stood beside Lu Yin. The Ghost Monkey was in his shadow, and the dragon turtle was perched on Jiang Qingyue's shoulder while the Hellwyrm was perched on Lu Yin's shoulder. This was everyone who had set out for this trip.
Before this, Lu Yin had announced that his seclusion had yet to end, but he didn't know how long it would continue for.
"Everyone, this trip to the Outlands might be dangerous, or it might just be a trip. I don't know how long it will take, but thank you for accompanying me on this trip," Lu Yin said slowly as he gripped the compass with a solemn expression.
The Ghost Monkey was excited. "To be able to accompany Seventh Bro, I won't be afraid even if I have to climb a mountain of blades or enter a sea of flames. Seventh Bro, this little monkey is willing to serve you to the death."
Elder Chan was speechless, as the monkey's frenzied flattery of Lu Yin had reached an abnormal level.
On Jiang Qingyue's shoulder, the dragon turtle snorted disdainfully.
"Who?
Who's doubting me? "
Lu Yin raised his hand and gripped the compass. He stared at the needle as he slowly tore through the void. From start to finish, the needle hadn't moved at all. The Hellwyrm landed on his shoulder, and its body grew to just the right size to carry everyone. It then leapt into the void and began its journey to the Outlands.
The trip to the Outlands seemed far away, but it wasn't actually that far away. They could return at any time, but the time was uncertain.
In particular, they might run into the Everlasting Tribe and those powerhouses from the Outlands who were hostile to the humans. These were the biggest uncertainties, and Lu Yin was looking forward to meeting them.
The Hellwyrm carried the group and charged into the void crack, arriving at a parallel spacetime. This parallel spacetime was very ordinary, but the astral storms were extremely severe and swept through the entire region.
Lu Yin looked at the compass and had the Hellwyrm follow the needle's guidance.
The Hellwyrm's body grew larger as it traversed the storms and quickly found the direction the needle was pointing.
This was an asteroid belt with strange beasts entrenched in the distance, but there was no need to pay them any attention. Lu Yin gripped the compass, and its surface emitted a faint light that quickly spread through the void.
"Qingyue, can you see the light?" Lu Yin asked.
Jiang Qingyue shook her head.
Lu Yin then asked Elder Chan.
Elder Chan couldn't see it either.
Lu Yin sighed. It seemed that only those who could see the sequence particles would be able to see this light, which meant that only powerhouses with sequence laws could use this compass.
"Let's go."
Lu Yin growled, and the compass pulled the Hellwyrm towards the light. This wasn't teleportation through the Outlands, but rather more like continuous shuttling through parallel spacetime. Parallel spacetime flashed before their eyes, and they soon landed in a new parallel spacetime. There was no need for shuttling, as they naturally appeared in a new parallel spacetime.
