Lu Yin took a deep breath and continued fishing. His Lightstream Retrospect was still far from the time he wanted to try it out.
Lu Yin continued to fish and watch the images. After a long time, the Streamer's Replay had reached nearly nine hundred seconds, and he saw two more images of someone staring at him. Each time, it made his hair stand on end; no matter what he did, he was being watched.
In the blink of an eye, his Lightstream Retrospect had increased by another dozen seconds, and he saw another image that left him stunned. How could this be?
He stared at the image carefully, as if he was seeing an illusion.
The image lasted for a long time, but the time that it represented couldn't be swallowed up by Lightstream Retrospect. It was something that he had inadvertently fished up, not something that could be assimilated into the river of time.
Lu Yin sat in silence for half a day before continuing to fish.
One day, the fog suddenly dissipated as a gust of wind blew away the fog that led to the forest.
Lu Yin looked at the forest; what kind of forest could withstand the erosion of time?
Even a half-ancestor had been erased by time, but the forest was still verdant and full of vitality.
Suddenly, Lu Yin's gaze trembled as he saw a wooden house faintly appear in the forest.
There was actually a wooden house in the mirage?
He recalled the progenitor's words. Some people had come here before, such as Fate and Wu Tian. Could that wooden house be related to them?
The Bai Family's ancestor had also unintentionally come here, which meant that many people had come to the mirage in history.
Who was the owner of that wooden house?
Someone who could build a wooden house in the forest was definitely not an ordinary person.
Lu Yin wanted to take a look, but his rationality told him not to act rashly. The fog was too terrifying. He had observed it before, and with its speed, as long as there weren't any strong winds, he would have plenty of time to go and return. However, Lu Yin hesitated; it was too risky. Once the fog closed in, he would have no choice but to leave the mirage. He didn't want to give up on this place.
He didn't have the ability to go to Immemorial City and find the progenitor to send him back.
He also didn't want to hear the words "pillar."
In the end, his rationality won over his curiosity, and Lu Yin continued to fish in peace. He didn't care about the wooden house, the forest, or even the treasures of the Three Realms and Six Paths. He focused on cultivating his Lightstream Retrospect.
Another long period of time passed, and Flowing Light's reflection time was close to a thousand seconds, which was half of what it had been when he had first arrived in the mirage domain. However, it still wasn't enough for Lu Yin to try transforming Flowing Light.
During this period of time, the wind seemed to have become more frequent. It kept blowing away the fog, revealing the wooden house in the forest.
The first time, Lu Yin had been tempted, but after that, he wasn't tempted anymore. He had already given up once, so it didn't matter if he gave up a few more times.
Moreover, the frequency of the wind was a little strange.
Lu Yin looked around, but he couldn't see anything. He shook his head and continued fishing.
Finally, Lu Yin's Flowing Light Recall reached 1,200 seconds, which was twice as long as before. He now had a sense of control over the flow of light, and it was time to see if his research was on the right track.
Although Patriarch Tianyi had given him some pointers about the transformation of his limitless inner world, it was still something that Lu Yin had comprehended on his own. As for the transformation of Liu Guang, no one had given him any pointers. It was something that he had comprehended while searching for a parallel spacetime with a different flow of time in the outer realm.
He wanted to walk his own path, and no one could help him walk his own path.
Even Mister Mu and the Primogenitor could not help. They could only provide the Mirage Domain.
A gust of wind blew past, but the fog didn't reveal itself this time. Instead, it moved towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was on guard.
The wind was indeed strange, and he looked around again. It was a pity that he no longer had his Celestial Eye, or else he would have been able to see if this wind was related to the laws of the sequence.
Aside from the laws of the sequence, Lu Yin couldn't think of anything else that could move this fog.
The fog came, and Lu Yin could only change his position.
However, the fog seemed to have a mind of its own, and it followed him wherever he went. Even an idiot would know that someone was controlling it.
"Who's there?" Lu Yin shouted.
This was the first time he had spoken since Jue Yi's death. He hadn't spoken in so long that it felt a little strange.
No one answered, and Lu Yin continued to change his position. However, the fog continued to entangle him, intentionally leading him in a certain direction.
However, it wasn't the forest or the wooden house. Instead, it was moving against the flow of the River of Time in a certain direction.
Lu Yin's face sank, as he wanted to see who was behind this.
After a while, a candle suddenly appeared on Lu Yin's shoulder, and his expression changed drastically. Flowing Light appeared, and it was about to reverse for a second before suddenly stopping. He saw that the light was absorbing something. Was this … time?
After fishing in the River of Time for so long, Flowing Light had absorbed a lot of time that couldn't be contained within the river, and Lu Yin was familiar with this feeling.
At this moment, Flowing Light was absorbing the time produced by the candle.
The fact that Flowing Light could absorb the time when the candle burned meant that the candle had the power of time. Clearly, someone had attacked Lu Yin, and it wasn't just time; it was time that had acted on Lu Yin's body, which was why Flowing Light could absorb it.
Since Flowing Light could absorb time, Lu Yin could ignore the candle.
Furthermore, he could use it as another way to increase Flowing Light's ability to look back at time.
Lu Yin didn't know how to describe his current feelings. Fishing had allowed Flowing Light to continuously look back at time. He had originally thought that someone had attacked him, but an even better way to look back at time had appeared.
In that case, did the person who had attacked him know?
Lu Yin looked around warily. "Who is it?"
"Who are you, little fellow?
How did you get here? "An old voice sounded from the front.
Lu Yin looked forward, but the fog was lingering, and he couldn't see clearly. "I came here by accident. If I've disturbed you, please forgive me."
"You're so young, yet you lie without batting an eye. How would you know how to fish in the River of Time if you came here by accident?
Also, you're very afraid of coming into contact with the fog. It seems that you know how powerful it is. "
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. This person's words meant that he hadn't discovered Lu Yin from the very beginning. That's right. In order to avoid the fog, Lu Yin had constantly changed his position. Perhaps that was how he had been discovered.
"I spent a great deal of effort to gather some shattered stones before finding this place," Lu Yin said.
"Haha, a road sign?
Whether or not it is, it has nothing to do with me. Do you see the candle on your shoulder? That represents the time you've lived. When the candle burns out, your life will end. "
Lu Yin pretended to be shocked. "Senior, why are you attacking me?"
"You don't have to die, but you have to do me a favor. If you do well, not only will I not kill you, but I can also guarantee that you will reach the Primordial realm and come to the Mirage Domain. Do you see that stone tablet?
Your cultivation is pretty good, and you can fish in the River of Time. Then, you might have heard that reaching the Primordial realm will allow you to pass through suffering and obtain eternal life. "
Lu Yin pretended to be excited. "Senior, what realm are you at?"
"My realm is beyond your imagination. If you don't want to die, you have to do me a favor."
Lu Yin was helpless. "I don't have a choice. Senior, just tell me what you want me to do.
”
"Smart. What's your name?"
"Junior's name is Xuan Qi."
"Where are you from?"
"Hexagon Association."
"Hexagon Association?
Never heard of it. "
Lu Yin probed, "Hyperspace?"
"Never heard of it. It's just a parallel universe. Your past identity is not important. From now on, your identity is the Primordial Space, the Fifth Mainland's descendant of the Lu Family."
Lu Yin was stunned, and his mind went blank. What did that mean?
He was the descendant of the Fifth Mainland's Lu Family?
Wait a minute, he was a little confused. Did this person see through his identity or something?
"Senior, what are you talking about?"
"Have you heard of the Primordial Space?"
Lu Yin didn't hide anything. "I have, but the Primordial Space has long since declined."
This person didn't even know about the Hexagon Association. He had probably been in the Mirage Domain for a long time and didn't know much about the outside world. If he did, he would have refuted Lu Yin's words.
"Is that so?
Even if the Primordial Space has declined, the Lu Family is still around. Kid, listen carefully to what I'm about to say. You can't make a single mistake. Otherwise, you will lose your life. Don't think that you can escape. With my Zhu Huo, even if you escape to a parallel universe, it will be useless. No one can save you. "
Lu Yin respectfully replied, "Junior understands. Senior, please instruct me."
"The Primordial Space is a parallel universe in the universe. It gave birth to the extremely resplendent Above Heaven Sect …"
What this person said was the same as Lu Yin's understanding of the Primordial Space. This was equivalent to telling Lu Yin part of the Primordial Space's history. Lu Yin already knew all of this.
Lu Yin also confirmed that this person didn't see him clearly. He used the Astral Source to fish, and this person knew the Primordial Space so well. It was impossible for him not to recognize the Astral Source.
This person must have seen Lu Yin as a person but couldn't see his strength clearly. They were too far apart.
This distance wasn't considered far under normal circumstances, but this was the Mirage Domain. Lu Yin didn't have the Heavenly Eye, and his range of vision was limited. Even if this person could see very far, it was limited. Otherwise, he wouldn't have forced Lu Yin to come here.
Lu Yin listened to this person talk about the history of the Primordial Space while checking his body to see if there was anything that could expose his identity.
"The Lu Family is the strongest family in the Primordial Space after the four continents shattered. They are also the family that controls the Fifth Mainland. Do you understand?"
Lu Yin said, "Junior understands. Then, as long as I know this, I can pretend to be a descendant of the Lu Family?"
"Of course not. The direct descendants of the Lu Family have two innate gifts. One is visualization. The innate gift of the God Sealing Catalog cannot be forged, but not every descendant of the Lu Family can awaken this innate gift. I can help you forge the General Appointing Platform. As for visualization, it isn't that important. The General Appointing Platform can explain everything."
"As for your name …" After a pause, this person seemed to be thinking.
Lu Yin suggested, "Junior's name is Xuan Qi. I also have another name, Yin. How about Lu Yin?"
"Sure, it's just a codename. From now on, you will be called Lu Yin."
Lu Yin replied, "Junior understands."
This person's previous behavior meant that he didn't know much about the current world. Otherwise, Lu Yin wouldn't have dared to say his name.
"Hmm, you are very cooperative. In the past, other people inadvertently came here. They were either too weak or too timid. They were afraid that their lives would be burned away. It's useless to ask such people for help. I have waited for a long time for someone like you. You are young, your cultivation is not bad, and you are very sensible."
