Void Master said, "Fortunately, Lu Yin chose that child. The next time we meet the Zombie God, we'll use the same power to heavily injure him."
"Speaking of which, what kind of power was that?
We couldn't destroy the branch, but that power actually injured the Zombie God from the inside. "
Wood Deity glanced at him. "It's time to go back."
This question was tantamount to prying into someone else's strength. Lu Yin had pointed out the karmic barrier earlier, and they had avoided the question because of this.
Void Master said apologetically, "Yes, it's time to go back. I asked too many questions out of curiosity. Alright, Lu Yin, we'll leave first."
Wood Deity said, "Although the Zombie God isn't dead, he won't be able to come out anytime soon. This kind of injury is enough to prevent him from appearing for a very long time. By the time he appears again, you'll have broken through to the Progenitor realm."
Lu Yin looked forward to it. "I should be able to break through. Killing him won't be so difficult then."
With that, Wood Deity, Void Master, and Luo Shan all left.
The Moon Deity and Moon Immortal also bid farewell to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin thanked them once again.
He had repaid the debt of saving the Trilunaris Alliance, and it would not be so easy to ask for their help in the future. The Trilunaris Alliance was not part of either White Cloud City or the Six-Direction Association. The three Sequence Law Realm powerhouses were enough to form a faction of their own.
Lu Yin returned to the Above the Sky Sect. His next step was to find the Nine-Headed Bird's nest, as there were some good things there.
The Nine-Headed Bird's treasures were definitely not bad, and Lu Yin had seen them through its memories. He also knew how to go to a parallel space where the flow of time was different from the Nine-Headed Bird's. These parallel spaces were the currency used by many powerhouses in the outside world.
The only problem was how to find the Nine-Headed Bird's nest.
Although Lu Yin had seen the Nine-Headed Bird's memories, he was not the Nine-Headed Bird himself, so he did not leave a mark in the nest. The only way was to use Bi Rong's compass.
Bi Rong's compass could point to the things he wanted the most. The most important thing was the thing. This thing was neither a human nor a beast. It was something that belonged to the universe. For example, a parallel space-time with a different flow of time. This was something that existed in the universe itself. It could be found. The Lightning Lord could also find lightning through his compass. If he wanted to find a human or a beast, he could not find it.
Fortunately, there was something in the nine-headed bird's nest that Lu Yin had seen through its memories. It was an extremely rare item that had been nurtured by the universe itself: a piece of wood. This piece of wood was where the nine-headed bird had been born, and it was also the core of its nest. The nine-headed bird had been born from this piece of wood, and it had cultivated for countless years to reach the level of Sequence Laws. However, it had never been able to find a second piece of wood in its entire life. This item should be able to be located through the compass.
As he thought about it, he calmed himself down and focused on cooking the wood. He raised his compass and tore through the void.
When he saw the void crack open, he took a step forward and disappeared from the Above Heaven Sect. When he reappeared, he was already in an unfamiliar region of space. He opened his Heaven's Eye and looked into the distance. He was excited, as he had found the nine-headed bird's nest in an instant.
This region of space was the parallel space-time where the nine-headed bird resided.
This was different from finding a parallel space-time with a different flow of time. Those kinds of parallel space-time had almost no Sequence Strings, and one had to rely on a compass to find them. However, the parallel space-time where the nine-headed bird resided had Sequence Strings, which could be directly found by tearing through the void.
This parallel space-time was not some strange space-time.
Lu Yin hurriedly headed into the distance.
Not long after, he saw a huge tree towering in space. The nine-headed bird had found this tree, and it was also its nest.
That was the core of the tree, the wood.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed as he looked at the huge tree in front of him.
There was a person within the tree, looking for something and constantly destroying the surroundings.
"It's useless for you to search like this," a voice said.
The person suddenly turned around and saw Lu Yin, his scarlet eyes filled with murderous intent.
Lu Yin also saw the person clearly and was surprised, "Nie?"
This figure was none other than the Progenitor Realm Corpse King, Nie, who had attacked the carrier of the Bestow Technique when he had disguised himself as Xuan Qi to enter the hyperspace and fight in the Drifting Cloud Spacetime. Nie's attack had allowed Lu Yin to see the strength that Qiu Zhan displayed with the support of the black energy source. This person was just an ordinary Progenitor Realm Corpse King. At most, he was slightly stronger than the Progenitor Realm Corpse Kings of the True God Guard.
Nie stared at Lu Yin, "Why are you here?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up, "It seems that you know me. I'm curious, why are you here?
Do the Eternals know the locations of all the alien powerhouses? "
Nie suddenly attacked, throwing a punch at Lu Yin.
The fist stopped in front of Lu Yin and was easily caught by him, unable to move.
Nie growled and charged forward, but Lu Yin kicked out and sent Nie flying. Just as Nie was about to hit the ground, Lu Yin appeared and stomped down on him.
Nie struggled wildly, but it was to no avail.
Lu Yin was much stronger than him, and they were not on the same level at all.
"Are you going to tell me?
Do the Eternals know the locations of all the alien powerhouses?
If one dies, I'll plunder it, "Lu Yin said.
Nie looked up, his scarlet eyes incomparably ferocious, "You will definitely be killed by the race. Definitely, definitely. The humans can't resist my race."
Lu Yin frowned and stomped Nie to death.
Nie was a Corpse King, so interrogating him was impossible. In fact, there was no need to interrogate him. Nie's appearance here must have been incited by the Eternals, and the fact that the Eternals had a way to find the nine-headed bird's nest was no small matter.
The nine-headed bird was cautious, and only it knew how to return to its nest. The Eternals might be able to find it, but the nine-headed bird definitely didn't.
If the nine-headed bird was like this, then were the other alien powerhouses the same?
If that was the case, then the Eternals must have obtained the treasures collected by the alien powerhouses. If that was the case, then the Eternals' collection would be terrifying.
No wonder the Eternals kept hiring the startoads, and the resources they lured seemed worthless to the Eternals. The Eternals could easily double the amount, and they were using the alien powerhouses' resources to bribe the startoads.
The question was, did the Eternals know where the startoads' nest was?
If they did, then did that mean that the Eternals were confident in getting back the resources that they had paid the startoads?
The more Lu Yin thought about it, the more he realized that the Eternals were ruthless in their dealings.
The more Lu Yin understood the Eternals, the more amazed he was. While most of the Eternals were Corpse Kings, they were actually extremely intelligent. It was no wonder that the Aether Sect had been destroyed. Many things seemed simple, but they were actually linked together.
Lu Yin suppressed his guesses and followed the nine-headed bird's memories. He entered the depths of the forest and arrived at a corner. He pressed down with his palm, revealing the entrance to the nine-headed bird's collection of treasures. It did not have the habit of storing external items in its cosmic ring, so everything was stored below.
Nie was searching for these items.
Lu Yin quickly saw the nine-headed bird's collection, including weapons, cultivation resources, natural treasures, and more.
There were too many to count, but none of them were of much use to Lu Yin.
There were also star essence here, roughly a hundred million cubes. It was neither too much nor too little, but it was better than nothing.
Aside from star essence, there were also ultra crystals, Hui crystals, and other cultivation resources from the Six Direction Association. There were also many other resources that should have come from some of the cultivation civilizations that the nine-headed bird had encountered. Lu Yin took them all, as the number of stars in his heart could be increased without limit.
Of the many resources, there were two that were the most precious. The first was a stargate that led to all of the parallel spacetimes that the nine-headed bird had encountered. Those parallel spacetimes had long since been opened up, and this stargate was the entrance.
The nine-headed bird would patrol this place every once in a while. After all, someone could enter a parallel spacetime at any time, and no one could predict what would happen. It would not allow anyone to covet its things.
The second precious resource was the bodgewood essence.
Bodgewood essence was a liquid that had been condensed from wood for countless years. Lu Yin did not know what it was used for, but he knew that it was the most precious thing in the nine-headed bird's memories, and it was even more precious than the parallel spacetimes.
Ever since the nine-headed bird had been born, it had only accumulated a palm-sized bottle of bodgewood essence. It was extremely rare, and it had never been willing to use it.
Lu Yin found it.
The nine-headed bird had not been willing to use it, but Lu Yin had benefited from it. However, he did not know what it was used for, so he decided to put it away first.
There was nothing else to do after that.
Lu Yin brought the stargate out of the tree and looked back. There was no need to destroy it, as perhaps a new owner would arrive soon.
He returned to the Above the Sky Sect and took out the stargate at the back of the mountain. He entered and cultivated in the parallel spacetimes with different spacetimes. In the future, these parallel spacetimes could be used as rewards for the Above the Sky Sect's elite disciples, and no one would refuse to cultivate in them.
Ever since Lu Yin had become the Above the Sky Sect's Dao Master, he finally had tangible benefits for his subordinates. Even the Fifth Tower might not be as attractive as these parallel spacetimes.
The nine-headed bird had four parallel spacetimes with different spacetimes, and it had taken Lu Yin three years to be fully recognized. His Lightflow Retrospect had increased his time by thirty-two seconds, but he had actually spent seventy-eight years in the parallel spacetimes.
This was what it meant to be secluded cultivation. Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and in the past, it would have been over with a sip of tea.
It had been more than ninety years since Lu Yin had arrived on Earth, and this was real time. If he counted the four pips on his die and the time in the parallel spacetimes with different spacetimes, it would have been several hundred years. He was no longer a member of the younger generation.
Lu Yin exhaled and swept his domain across the entire Above the Sky Sect. Eh?
Why was He Ran here?
He looked down the stairs and saw He Ran playing with the sapling beside the cauldron. He was about to go take a look when the Second Nightking reported, "There's a war in the Astral Beast Domain.
Lu Yin was astonished. "A war in the Astral Beast Domain?
With whom? "
"A civilization that unintentionally intruded into the Fifth Mainland's spacetime."
Lu Yin found it funny. He had been constantly traveling to the outer realms and entering other parallel spacetimes, but now he had guests at home.
Soon, the Second Nightking showed Lu Yin the images of the war in the Astral Beast Domain.
Lu Yin looked at the screen.
On the screen, one after another, strangely shaped spaceships appeared, circling around the light barrier as they fired beams of light at the numerous astral beasts. These spaceships were completely different from the Fifth Mainland's spaceships. Each of these spaceships was protected by a light barrier, and many of the astral beasts could only take a beating.
