Not long after, the two picked up a cute kitten from an abandoned box in a hidden corner of Torch City.
Yi Yao happily hugged it. "Little Yao, did you miss me?"
Eight Willows smiled happily. "Ever since we parted, Little Yao hasn't eaten or drunk for a few days. I told her that I would definitely bring you here, and she was finally willing to eat."
"Luckily, we didn't bring her along in the battle, or she would have died."
"I know. If I had any other choice, I wouldn't have hidden her here. Once we escape to the consciousness universe, she can only wander about. I've let her down."
Above Boundless, Lu Yin looked at the corner of Torch City. Was that a life form from the consciousness universe?
A very small life form from the consciousness universe?
The spiritualized cultivators had actually adopted a life form from the consciousness universe. Interesting.
Ancestor Xi arrived and was shocked. "They're actually adopting a life form from the consciousness universe."
"Can't they?"
"This is a taboo in the spiritualized universe."
Lu Yin raised his brows. "There are so many taboos in this spiritualized universe?
Just one? "
Ancestor Xi smiled bitterly. "Once a person breaks a taboo, they will no longer care about the taboo that once restricted them. It's obvious that they've adopted this life form for some time. Perhaps this is the first taboo they've broken."
Lu Yin looked at Eight Willows and Yi Yao. Was it kind to adopt a life form from the consciousness universe?
Although the Dayu Villa existed to stir up trouble, it would not take in people who were wicked beyond redemption. Eight Willows and Yi Yao were rather suitable, and perhaps he could find them a backer. The Genesis was not bad.
Right, since adopting a life form from the consciousness universe was a taboo, Lu Yin looked at Ancestor Xi.
Ancestor Xi did not understand Lu Yin's gaze, but she had a bad feeling about it.
"What's the difference between adopting and surrendering?" Lu Yin looked away.
Ancestor Xi sighed as Lu Yin's gaze made her feel danger. "Surrendering lifeforms from the consciousness universe must be confirmed by Sang Tian. After all, that's a consciousness. Once it becomes strong, it can take over a cultivator's body. Only with Sang Tian's confirmation can it be considered a surrendering lifeform and survive in the spiritualized universe.
"And Sang Tian will leave a mark after confirming it."
At this point, her expression sank. "A mark of humiliation for us."
At this point, Old Tao arrived and bowed respectfully to Lu Yin. "Honorable Lord, I'm here. May I ask what your orders?"
Lu Yin waved, and Ancestor Xi left.
Old Tao was astonished. Life form from the Universe of Consciousness?
Yes, it was normal for the Heaven's Yuan Universe and the Consciousness Universe to work together. Perhaps it was because of the Consciousness Universe that the Heaven's Yuan Universe knew about the spiritualized universe and attacked. It was too obvious that the spiritualized universe wanted to restart them.
Although he was astonished, he didn't show it in the slightest. He was as respectful as when they first met, and even bowed even deeper.
Seeing him, Lu Yin smiled faintly. "How was the exchange with Yi Xia?"
Old Tao said respectfully, "We exchanged our admiration for Sir. Through City Lord Yi Xia, this lowly one's admiration for Sir is like the torrential milky way, endless and unstoppable. It's also like the destruction of the starry sky, unstoppable."
"Yi Xia scolded me quite harshly, right?"
"No, absolutely not."
Old Tao hurriedly said righteously: "In front of this lowly one, he doesn't dare to scold Milord, but if he says a single word about Milord, this lowly one will fight it out with him."
Yi Xia was now clear about his position, and he knew that Yu Sang Tian would not let him off. For the sake of Torch City, Lu Yin would not do anything to him.
However, Lu Yin didn't care about any of this. He carefully sized up Old Tao. "I've gotten to know you, Old Tao. You're not bad, right?"
Old Tao's hair stood on end, and he carefully looked at Lu Yin. "What do you mean by not bad?"
"Everything."
"You're too kind, Sir. I still have to learn from you."
These words were sincere, as he knew about Yi Xia's encounter. He sucked in a breath of cold air, as he had a deep understanding of Lu Yin's ruthlessness. He could not offend this person, even if he was beaten to death.
Lu Yin turned to look in the direction of the consciousness universe. "Prepare to head to the spiritualized universe with me."
Old Tao was shocked. "The spiritualized universe?"
"Surprised?"
Of course, he was surprised. He had originally thought that the people from the Tian Yuan Universe would head to the consciousness universe and join forces with it to deal with the spiritualized universe. He had never imagined that they would actually want to go to the spiritualized universe. Wasn't that just courting death?
He admitted that there were many experts in the Tian Yuan Universe, but they couldn't compare to the spiritualized universe. Yu Sang Tian alone should have been able to deal with them.
Yi Xia had only told Old Tao about his situation, but he hadn't said anything about Yu Sang Tian's conversation with Lu Yin or the conditions they had agreed upon.
He didn't dare to say anything at all, so Old Tao didn't know about this.
Old Tao's reaction also made it clear to Lu Yin that Yi Xia hadn't said anything. He was a smart person.
"Sir, the spiritualized universe is fraught with dangers, especially since you're from another universe. You don't belong to the spiritualized universe. Once you enter, you'll definitely be found, and it'll be very easy to find you.
He knew that he had no choice, and since Lu Yin had suggested bringing him along, he didn't plan on refusing. He couldn't refuse, but going to the spiritualized universe meant that once he boarded Wu Jiang's ship, he would be a corpse the next time he wanted to get off.
Lu Yin placed his hands behind his back and calmly said, "You don't have the right to decide where I go. Either come with me, or think of a way to escape from me. Choose one."
P >
Old Tao's expression turned ugly, as if he had eaten a dead fly. However, he didn't dare to be impudent in front of Lu Yin, so he had no choice but to bow again. "Sir, the direction you point in is where this lowly one will charge. I'll listen to everything you say."
"Is Torch City currently in an empty period?"
"Yes. A group of people have gone to the Consciousness Universe, and a small group from the Consciousness Universe is rushing back."
"Then let's set off. Leave this place to Yi Xia."
Old Tao looked at Torch City with nostalgia. After this farewell, he didn't know if he would be able to return alive.
Torch City was his favorite place. Not only was he free from the various struggles for power and schemes in the spiritualized universe, but he was also a vice city lord. He was free and unfettered, and he could see all sorts of people heading to and returning from the battlefield. Back then, he had used up all his connections to come to Torch City, but not long after, he had to leave again.
He was too unlucky. Why did he have to be so unlucky?
He glanced at Lu Yin's back again. That fiend.
Wu Jiang set off towards the spiritualized universe.
In all of Torch City, only Yi Xia watched as Wu Jiang left. Everyone else had fainted, and it was up to Yi Xia to explain things to them. Lu Yin looked into the distance. Spiritualized universe, here I come.
…
The spiritualized universe was similar to the Heaven's Origin Universe in that there were many parallel spacetimes. The difference was that the spiritualized universe had opened up many parallel spacetimes and arranged them in four different directions according to their rules.
The entrances to these parallel spacetimes were connected in some way in the spiritualized universe's main spacetime, and any cultivator could go to any parallel spacetime through this connection.
If the entire spiritualized universe was spread out and looked at as a painting, these connected spacetime lines formed a perfect combination.
They formed a single word: spirit!
At this moment, at the edge of the spiritualized universe, there was a giant stone door with many springboards inside and outside. There were even more springboards here than in Torch City, but because of the conversation between Yu Sang Tian and Lu Yin, more than half of them had been used up.
On this day, the round-faced old man arrived. He wanted to use Sang Tian's authority to contact Torch City.
"I'm sorry, Lord Yi Sang Tian. Lord Yu Sang Tian has ordered that no one is to contact Torch City."
The president's expression sank. "I'm Sang Tian."
"I'm sorry, Lord Yi Sang Tian."
The president looked at the springboards in front of him, which were clearly missing more than half, and his expression turned ugly.
What was happening to Torch City?
Yu Sang Tian controlled the spiritualized universe, but he was not supreme. There were many things that needed to be discussed with Sang Tian.
The seven major Sang Tians had to know that Torch City had been taken down by the Tian Yuan Universe. They could not contact Sang Tian in the consciousness universe, so they could only inform Sang Tian in the spiritualized universe.
When the president received the news, he immediately wanted to contact Torch City, but he was rejected.
Letting them know the news was out of respect for Sang Tian, but not letting them contact Torch City was also Yu Sang Tian's right.
The president urgently wanted to contact Torch City. Yi Xia was a junior that he had painstakingly nurtured, and he had planned a cultivation path for this junior. From birth until now, he understood Yi Xia better than Yi Xia himself. The Sky-Devourer Parasol combined with the Devouring Sequence was enough for Yi Xia to compete for Sang Tian's position.
But now that something like this had happened, he felt that his efforts might have been for naught.
He only hoped that Yi Xia would not die. As long as he did not die, there would be a chance.
…
In the vast starry sky, there was a deep darkness.
The distance to the spiritualized universe was no different from the distance to the Tian Yuan Universe.
Above Limitless, Lu Yin released Yuanqi and smiled as he asked Eight Willows and Yi Yao to become his disciples.
Yuanqi was stunned, as he could not understand what kind of disciple he had accepted. He was Lu Yin's prisoner, so why would he accept a disciple?
But under Lu Yin's gaze, he did not dare to refute, so he could only accept Eight Willows and Yi Yao.
Eight Willows and Yi Yao were equally confused. They did not know Yuanqi, and they could not understand why Lu Yin wanted them to become his disciples.
"Disciple is Eight Willows."
"Disciple is Yi Yao."
"Greetings, Master."
Yuanqi grunted. Although he was confused, he was just accepting a disciple, not a life-and-death battle. Moreover, these two disciples seemed to be pretty good. Yi Yao was a Soul Progenitor, and although she was not proficient in killing, her realm was still there. She was also a cultivator from the spiritualized universe and had come into contact with Sequence Laws. It was not impossible for her to reach the Sequence Laws.
As for Eight Willows, Yuanqi was even more satisfied.
Ling Zhan was a half-step Progenitor who could fight Progenitors. This was an extremely talented disciple.
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with being forced by Lu Yin, this was the first time he had accepted a disciple in so many years. Looking at the man and woman in front of him, they were equally confused. Were they also forced by Lu Yin?
He felt a rare sense of familiarity, but of course, it was only a trace.
As for them being forced by Lu Yin to become his disciples …
Yuanqi coughed. "Are you cultivators from the spiritualized universe?"
Eight Willows respectfully replied, "Yes, Master."
"I am Yuanqi."
Eight Willows was stunned. Yuanqi?
What a familiar name.
Yi Yao was also stunned, and then her gaze changed as she blurted out, "Yuanqi?"
Eight Willows was shocked. "Yuanqi?"
