Lu Yin smiled. "Of course. This junior hopes to reach the Primordial Realm. Since you're here, this junior has to do his best."
"It's good that you understand. If you complete this task well, I will consider accepting you as a disciple. By the way, have you heard of the Eternals?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Of course."
"What do you think?"
"Enemies of the human race."
"What do you think?"
Lu Yin did not know what this person meant. Was this person from the Eternals or the human race?
Logically speaking, this person should be from the Eternals since Lu Yin was a human. This person had treated him with such an attitude and even asked him to disguise himself as someone from the Lu family, so he had to be dealing with someone from the Lu family.
However, if this person was not from the Eternals, then Lu Yin would be in trouble if he answered incorrectly.
Lu Yin was not afraid that this person would attack him, as he could still fight back and escape. However, this person had asked him to disguise himself as a descendant of the Lu family, so Lu Yin wanted to see who he was dealing with.
"This junior only wants to reach the Primordial Realm," Lu Yin replied.
The person fell silent for a moment. "Hmph, you're quite considerate. However, I admire people like you. Only by being unscrupulous can you get what you want."
Lu Yin exhaled. "Senior is right. May I know your name?"
With a boom, a General Appointment Platform appeared in front of Lu Yin.
Lu Yin stared at it. General Appointment Platform?
No, it was fake. This person had forged it.
"Look carefully. I'll give you some time to familiarize yourself with it. This is your General Appointment Platform. Use it as an innate gift. I'll remember it even in my dreams. Your name is Lu Yin, and you're a descendant of the Lu family. Do you remember?"
"This junior definitely remembers. My name is Lu Yin, and I'm a descendant of the Lu family."
"Who is your ancestor?"
"Lu Yuan."
"What else?"
"Lu Tianyi."
"What is the most tragic thing that has ever happened to your Lu family?"
"Ancestor Lu Yuan's son died. The ancestor could not reverse the river of time to save him because the progenitor did not allow it."
"Then what is the most unpleasant thing that has ever happened to your Lu family?"
"Someone called Qingluo Jiantian injured Lu Tianyi, forcing the family to cultivate the Primordial Scripture to make up for the lack of spiritual force."
"There's another lunatic in the Lu Clan. He's Lu Yuan's grandson. Remember this, Lunatic Lu is a taboo in the Lu Clan."
Lu Yin was very confident. "This junior is Lu Yin, so of course I know. Patriarch Lu Yuan and Patriarch Lu Tianyi are both my Patriarchs, and I've met them before."
"Hmm, not bad."
…
The fog dissipated, and Lu Yin walked towards the forest.
It had been a long time since that person had threatened him with Zhu Huo, and he had been constantly familiarizing himself with the Lu family's history. It had to be said that there were some things that he did not know, and he had never expected to be forced to learn about them by an outsider.
What that person wanted him to do was to enter the forest and find a woman. The closer he was to that woman, the better.
As for why he was pretending to be a descendant of the Lu family, that person didn't tell Lu Yin.
Lu Yin carefully walked through the forest. A wooden house loomed in the distance, but it wasn't the same one he had seen before. This one was much further away.
A small path, a bamboo forest, surrounded by mist. No matter how one looked at it, it was a quiet and elegant place.
He subconsciously touched the bamboo; what kind of bamboo could withstand the corrosion of the Time Mist?
He didn't manage to figure out anything.
Lu Yin continued walking towards the wooden house.
Not long after, he saw a bamboo fence.
There were green grasses that swayed in the wind, emitting a faint green glow. It was very comfortable to look at.
There was a beautiful woman dressed in plain clothes walking among the grasses with a faint smile on her face.
She didn't wear any makeup and gave off an elegant feeling, like the grasses in the forest, untainted by dust. The smile on her face made Lu Yin feel even more comfortable.
She wasn't an absolute beauty, but she was definitely the type that made people feel the most comfortable. It was as if they had returned to nature.
Lu Yin stood outside the bamboo fence and watched the woman plant the grasses.
Not long after, she raised her head and looked at him.
Lu Yin bowed. "Junior Lu Yin greets senior."
The woman sized him up. "How did you get here?"
"I found this mirage domain by collecting stones."
"Your surname is Lu?"
"Yes."
"It's fake."
Lu Yin was speechless. "It's real."
The woman smiled and pointed at Lu Yin's shoulder. "You still have Zhu Huo's flame on your shoulder."
Lu Yin blinked. Didn't that person say that he couldn't see it?
"He thought that I couldn't see, but this is my territory. How could I not see? He underestimated me too much. However, I purposely made him think that I couldn't see," said the woman. After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to plant the grass.
Lu Yin was helpless. "I've made a fool of myself."
She sighed. "I should be the one apologizing. I've implicated you, or else you wouldn't have been killed by him. I'm sorry, but I can't help you get rid of Zhu Huo's flame."
Lu Yin was curious. "Senior, who are you?
And who is that person? "
There was a wooden chair inside the fence, and she sat down. "Just stay outside. He can't do anything to me at this distance, but it might not be the case if he gets any closer."
Lu Yin nodded and sat down by himself. He looked at the woman from across the bamboo fence.
"The one controlling you is called Fengbo, a sinner of the human race. As for me, I am Hongyan Mavis."
Lu Yin's expression changed and he exclaimed, "Ancestor of the Mavis Family? Hongyan Mavis?"
Hongyan Mavis looked at Lu Yin. "I can see the shock in your eyes. He didn't tell you my identity?
Or is your disguise too good? "
Lu Yin stared at her in shock. "Are you really Hongyan Mavis?
Ancestor of the Mavis Family? "
Hongyan Mavis smiled. "Ancestor makes me sound old. I've only lived a little longer. What about you?
What's your name? "
Lu Yin hadn't expected to meet one of the Six Paths of the Three Realms in the Mirage Domain, the ancestor of the second continent, Hongyan Mavis.
He had only heard about her from Ancestor Lu Tianyi, but no one knew where she was. Many believed that she had been destroyed along with the second continent and died in the universe.
He hadn't expected to meet her here.
Lu Yin was excited. Ancestor of the Mavis Family, one of the Six Paths of the Three Realms. She was a powerful person, and it was impossible to know much about her through the history of the Mavis Family.
In the Genesis Space, the only ones who truly understood her were the Lu family.
"Senior, why are you in the Mirage Domain?
Why don't you go out? "Lu Yin asked.
Hongyan Mavis looked at Lu Yin deeply. "How long has Fengbo nurtured you?
You've acted out my surprise to the fullest, as if you've come from the Genesis Space. "
"Of course." Lu Yin couldn't help but laugh.
Hongyan Mavis laughed. "Fengbo has many methods, and you're not the first one to try to get close to me. He knows that Lu Yuan helped me when the second continent was destroyed, and even the Acalanatha King Elephant died for me. That's why he asked you to pretend to be a descendant of the Lu family in hopes of getting close to me.
However, he doesn't know that I can see the candlelight. You don't have to pretend anymore, I haven't talked to anyone in a long time. Meeting you is fate. "
"I can't help you break free from Fengbo's control, so I apologize again."
"If you're willing, you can talk to me."
Lu Yin didn't know what to feel. He had thought that he could trick that person by pretending to be a descendant of the Lu family, but he hadn't expected that the person he was tricking wouldn't believe him either.
He was in an awkward situation.
"What's your name?" Hongyan Mavis asked. She really hadn't talked to anyone in a long time.
Lu Yin was helpless. "Junior's name is Xuan Qi."
Hongyan Mavis smiled. "Where are you from?
I'm not sure if you're really surprised by my identity or if you're just faking it. "
"I'm really surprised. This junior is from the Six Paths Association. Does senior know of the Grand Empyrean?"
Hongyan Mavis was shocked. "Tai Hong?"
Lu Yin nodded. "That's her."
Hongyan Mavis let out a long sigh and looked into the distance with nostalgia. "Tai Hong, so you're from her side. No wonder you know me. How is she?"
Lu Yin told Hongyan Mavis a few things about the Six Paths Association. The Six Paths Association didn't exist back then, but there were already Grand Empyreans. This showed just how arrogant they were.
Hongyan Mavis also told Lu Yin about what had happened during the Above Heaven era.
She mostly talked about the Three Realms and Six Daos, including the Grand Empyreans.
"You might not believe it, but back then, we almost knocked Tai Hong out. We almost knocked him out." Hongyan Mavis smiled happily as she reminisced about the times of the past.
Lu Yin smiled. He believed it, and more than one person had told him that.
Unfortunately, he hadn't succeeded, and the Grim Reaper had created the Death Mask battle technique.
"Tai Hong, that woman, is arrogant and disrespectful to Master. She always thinks that she's the most noble and wants to beat her up. However, she's actually quite strong, and we're all lower in seniority than her. At first, we couldn't beat her even if we worked together, but things changed as we broke through to Ancestor. Everyone dared to scold her, and she was so angry that she kept complaining to Master. You don't know what happened back then …" Hongyan Mavis laughed.
Lu Yin didn't know how long she had been in the mirage, but it should have been since the Above Heaven era.
Rather than calling it a chat, it was more accurate to say that Lu Yin's arrival gave Hongyan Mavis a chance to talk.
She spoke for a long time, and Lu Yin felt as if he had returned to the Above Heaven era and was looking at that glorious civilization.
Speaking of which, was she considered a chatterbox?
She couldn't have inherited it from her primogenitor, right?
"I'm sorry for talking so much." Hongyan Mavis was embarrassed.
Lu Yin replied, "I'm bored anyway. Senior can speak as much as you want."
Hongyan Mavis smiled. "You're a good person."
"So-so."
"Right, there's something interesting here. Do you want to take a look?" Hongyan Mavis pointed at the wooden house.
Lu Yin didn't understand.
"That house wasn't built by me, but by Wu Tian. You can take a look at the floor." Hongyan Mavis pursed her lips and smiled.
Lu Yin was excited. Could it be a powerful battle technique?
Others might not have cared, but he was different. His cultivation included Wanxiang, and he wasn't afraid of having too much strength.
Lu Yin walked towards the wooden house and opened the door. He was still some distance away from Hongyan Mavis, and that distance was safe for her.
He entered the wooden house, and it was very simple. It reminded him of the wooden house he and Xian Er had shared in the food paradise.
The floor?
