Little Can trembled and stood up slowly. He still lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Lu Yin.
He remembered the first time he met Lu Yin. It was at the back of the battlefield. Who would have thought that after so many years, Lu Yin would have reached this step. If he had known, he would have taken Lu Yin as his master.
However, Lu Yin wasn't that powerful back then.
Lu Yin looked at Little Can, "As the descendant of Ancestor Hui, you have guts and a plan. You are just an ant, yet you dared to scheme against the Wang Family. No one in the big Wang Family could see through you. Based on this, you are worthy of being the descendant of Ancestor Hui."
"I owe you a favor. After cultivating the Sky Palace, I will return the favor. From today onwards, Hui Can, you are my disciple."
Hui Can quickly knelt down, "Disciple Hui Can greets Master."
Lu Yin's expression was solemn as he looked at Hui Can, "As my disciple, you should stand at the top of this universe. Remember not to bully others, not to go against morality, and not to betray humanity."
"As my disciple, what you gain will surpass everyone else. What you bear will also surpass everyone else. Whether your future is bright or dark, it depends on you and me."
"Are you willing to bear the karma of being my disciple?"
Hui Can didn't hesitate, "I am willing to bear it. I will follow Master everywhere. I will not regret even if I die."
"Good, I hope you won't disappoint me." Lu Yin said.
Lu Yin didn't say much about Tuo Lin because Tuo Lin couldn't cultivate. However, Hui Can was different. He was bold, careful, decisive, and smart. He was good at using small things to gain big things. If he had a good temperament, he would benefit others. If he didn't have a good temperament, it would be a disaster.
After Hui Can came to the Above Sky Sect, Lu Yin asked someone to investigate him. The result was satisfactory.
He wasn't someone who would be blinded by benefits. He fought for his own opportunities. This was also the reason why Lu Yin was willing to accept him as his disciple.
If his temperament wasn't up to standard, Lu Yin wouldn't accept him as his disciple.
His disciple's status in this universe was too high. It was like the Three Realms and Six Paths.
What Hui Can learned was the Blue Sky Palace.
On one hand, the Sky Palace tested one's temperament and patience. There was enough time for everyone to get familiar with Little Can.
On the other hand, Lu Yin learned the Sky Palace through him. It was the most suitable for him to impart it.
As for how long Little Can would need to cultivate the Blue Sky Palace, that would be up to him.
It wasn't that he couldn't learn anything else along the way. There were too many cultivation techniques in the fifth pagoda, and as Lu Yin's disciple, it was easy for him to learn them. Whatever he wanted to learn, it was up to him.
"Take good care of your senior brother, Tuo Lin." Lu Yin emphasized.
Little Can said respectfully, "Don't worry, master. I will definitely take good care of senior apprentice-brother."
The Second Nightking looked at Little Can enviously. This was another person who had reached the heavens in a single step. This person was different from Tuo Lin.
No matter what, Tuo Lin could not cultivate, and the resources he could enjoy were extremely scarce.
This person was Master Lu's true disciple. He would be the envy of everyone in the universe.
…
He quietly drank the tea that Zhao Ran had brewed for him, waiting for Hongyan Mavis to arrive.
"I've cultivated divine power." Lu Yin went straight to the point.
Hongyan Mavis' body trembled as she looked at Lu Yin in shock, "You've cultivated divine force?"
Lu Yin met her gaze.
After looking at each other for a moment, Hongyan Mavis suddenly smiled.
Lu Yin was surprised, "Senior knows?"
Hongyan Mavis said, "Do you take us for fools? During the Second Battle of Calamity Region, you fought with Bai Xianer in the divine force lake for so long and were still fine. Everyone knows."
Lu Yin had completely forgotten about this.
"After the battle, Fertile Earth took the initiative to tell us about this," Hongyan Mavis said.
Lu Yin's heart warmed. Even though he had done a lot for humanity, there were many people who were doing things for him in secret as well. It was just that he did not see it.
"Little Seven, divine power is an eternal power. Even though there is no right or wrong in power, divine power is an exception. Even Master said that divine power can affect a person's rationality," Hongyan Mavis reminded.
The scene from the Book of Destiny flashed through Lu Yin's mind. He nodded, "I know. Don't worry, Senior. I've walked a longer path than an eternal one."
Hongyan Mavis smiled, "We were definitely worried in the past, but now we are. With your strength, controlling divine power shouldn't be a problem. Is this why you came to me today?"
"Senior Wu Tian and the others know?"
"Of course. Don't worry."
Lu Yin nodded, "Alright. Then I can rest assured about what I'm going to do next."
"What is it?" Hongyan Mavis was puzzled.
Lu Yin looked at Hongyan Mavis, "Destroy the black mother tree."
…
Lu Yin arrived at Lu Tianjing. After his conversation with Hongyan Mavis, he had wanted to use Nightshore's identity to absorb divine power and destroy the black mother tree.
However, he suddenly remembered that there was one more thing he had yet to do, and that was Madman Lu.
He still had a bet with Madman Lu.
Lu Yin arrived at the place where Madman Lu was imprisoned in Lu Tianjing, his expression calm.
In the distance, in the dark underground, Madman Lu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flickering with bloodlust and madness. He grinned; he was here.
Madman Lu walked out of the underground and looked across.
Lu Yin stood there calmly, "I'm here for the bet."
Madman Lu stared at Lu Yin with a ferocious gaze, "Are you confident in defeating me?"
"Tell me, who helped me push away your General Appointment Platform?" Lu Yin asked indifferently.
In the distance, Lu Yuan and Lu Tianyi were both present. This day had finally come.
Lu Yuan's gaze was complicated. Today's bet was also the day of Madman Lu's death. He had betrayed humanity and joined the eternal race.
Lu Tianjing's sky darkened.
Would Lu Yin win?
There was no need to answer this question. Everyone knew that Madman Lu was doomed.
Madman Lu himself knew that Lu Yin was not a blindly arrogant person. Since he had come to the bet, it meant that he had reached the point where he could defeat him, or even kill him. That was fine; he had lived long enough.
"Junior, if you want to know the answer, you'll have to beat me first."
Lu Yin raised a hand and flicked his finger, his power transforming into a sharp sword that cut through the chains binding Madman Lu.
Madman Lu's pupils shrank, and when he looked at Lu Yin again, his gaze had completely changed.
These chains had been formed from sequence laws, and even he could not break them. However, Lu Yin had easily cut through them. The difference in their strength was like heaven and earth.
"Hahaha, junior, you're ruthless enough. I thought that there would be a bitter battle, but it seems that I was wrong. It hasn't even been that long, and you're already this strong." Madman Lu laughed maniacally.
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "Make your move, or you won't have another chance."
Madman Lu's smile faded as he stared at Lu Yin with a bone-chilling glare. "I hate the Lu family, and I've never regretted betraying them. I've never regretted betraying humanity." With that, dark red divine force surged out of his body and dyed the sky above Lu Tianjing red.
The Lu family's disciples looked up at the sky; this power made them shiver.
Lu Yuan closed his eyes. Divine power, he had indeed cultivated divine power.
Lu Tianyi sighed.
Lu Yin looked at Madman Lu. He did not have much divine power in his body, as he had not been cultivating in the Calamity Zone.
Madman Lu charged at Lu Yin as his divine power surged out. He knew that there was no other power that could harm Lu Yin. The Divine Seal Catalog, the General Appointment Platform, the power of nightmares, or even the Corpse King Transformation were not enough, far from enough.
Madman Lu's eyes were ferocious; he only had one chance to attack, and it would depend on whether or not Lu Yin could withstand the attack of sequence laws and divine power.
Lu Yin watched calmly as Madman Lu charged at him. He raised his hand and pointed.
Madman Lu was enraged. Another finger, another finger. Back in the Reincarnation Space-Time, he had been beaten by Lu Tianyi's Dao of Tianyi. The power of that finger was still fresh in his memory, and now this junior was using the same finger.
He went crazy, and his divine power was completely released like a wild beast.
Whoosh …
A gust of wind blew past, and the dark red divine power dissipated from both sides and quickly retreated. Madman Lu was rooted to the ground, still maintaining his charging posture. However, in front of his forehead, between his eyes, a finger had pinned him down, making him unable to move.
Madman Lu stared blankly at Lu Yin, who was right in front of him.
Lu Yin still had one hand behind his back, and he had no intention of taking it out. The finger of the other hand froze Madman Lu in place. One more step and he would die.
Madman Lu had not felt this bone-chilling cold in a long time.
Lu Yin had brought him endless despair.
He was not afraid of death, but a finger, just a finger, was simpler than Lu Tianyi's. At least when he used his divine power, he was confident that Lu Tianyi could not easily defeat him.
Only Lu Yuan, that old bastard, could do it. Only Lu Yuan.
But now, how could this junior do it?
How did he do it?
Sequence laws and divine power were all ineffective against him?
Lu Yin looked at Madman Lu with pity. This was a pitiful person. His life, his experiences, and even his ending.
Madman Lu stared at Lu Yin's eyes. What did he see?
Pity?
Pity, pity, this kid is pitying me?
Madman Lu roared and struck at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin exerted force with his finger, and Madman Lu was pushed back.
He roared, "Junior, are you pitying me?"
Lu Yin looked at him calmly. "You are no match for me."
"Kill me if you can. I don't need pity, and I don't need your Lu family's pity. Junior, kill me." Madman Lu rushed at Lu Yin, his eyes red and completely mad.
Lu Yin grabbed Madman Lu's hand and exerted force, pressing Madman Lu down.
Lu Yin looked at him. "I don't want to say anything about your past. You are still an elder of my Lu family. Fulfill your promise and tell me who pushed you off the stage, and what price did you pay?"
Madman Lu had one hand on the ground while the other was held by Lu Yin. He could not move.
He smiled bitterly and looked into Lu Yin's eyes. "I can tell you, but I don't want to die at the hands of that old bastard. This is also why I want to fight you to the death."
"Junior, kill me and I will tell you."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Killing Madman Lu was easy, but he had to bear the consequences of this karma. After all, Madman Lu was Patriarch Lu Yuan's grandson, and the Lu family had tolerated him for so many years and felt guilty toward him. If Lu Yin killed Madman Lu, it might become a thorn in Patriarch Lu Yuan's heart.
"What, you don't dare?"
Madman Lu laughed madly. "If you don't kill me, you won't know who that person is. You will never be able to repay what that person has done for you. I guarantee that you will never know who that person is."
Lu Yin's eyes widened. "Fine, I agree."
