Furthermore, these two were only the first batch. There would definitely be others who would want to follow him. Ultimately, following him depended on one's strength. The stronger he was, the more people would want to follow him. Money?
That was too easy for the Innerverse powers.
Those powers could not wait for Lu Yin to have some problems so that they could deal with him easily. A perfect powerhouse was the most frightening.
In the Innerverse, in Astral-7, Yue Xianzi was in a bad mood after hearing Barley's report. She had expected Lu Yin to make all sorts of requests that might even implicate the entire Frostmoon Sect, but she had not expected his request to be so simple. Lack of money?
What was this?
Yue Xianzi's eyes flickered. Impossible! It was definitely not a simple request for money. She immediately contacted the seniors of her sect and relayed the information to them.
Several elders appeared on a screen in front of Yue Xianzi. They were all seniors of the Frostmoon Sect, and they all had solemn expressions as they pondered the matter seriously.
"At present, there are only four Limiteers in the entire universe who are qualified to become Ten Arbiters' candidates. As for the Explorers, they are all in the top ten of the Top 100 Rankings. However, among the top ten, only the top five are truly qualified to challenge the position of Ten Arbiters. In other words, there are nine people who are at the top of their generation, and any one of these nine has the potential to become one of the Ten Arbiters. Our Frostmoon Sect has already expressed goodwill to three of them, and any one of these three can become one of the Ten Arbiters, which would be beneficial to our sect. Lu Yin is the fourth."
"That may be the case, but Lu Yin's chances are the lowest among the nine. He has no background, and a mere Great Yu Empire would not be able to support him. Even if the entire Frostwave Weave was united, so what? The Blazing Mist Flowzone's Ross Empire would be able to take care of him."
"However, this kid's progress is too fast. According to our investigation, he has cultivated for less than three years. In just three years, his cultivation speed is several times faster than the others, and his strength is definitely at the top of his generation. Thirty Stacks was Arbiter Lan's record when he was in the Astral Combat Academy, and no one besides Lu Yin has been able to reach it. Don't forget that this kid hasn't even reached the peak of the Limiteer realm yet. He has a very high chance of breaking Arbiter Lan's record.
"Don't forget that this kid has a deep grudge with the Daynight clan."
"That's the strange part. This kid has the status and background of an ant, but he managed to shake the Daynight clan's decision and save the Daynight woman who testified for him. His methods are terrifying, and aside from the elders of the Daynight clan, no one else knows how he did it. He has a strange ability, and he's ruthless."
…
Yue Xianzi stood in front of the light screen and watched as the Frostmoon Sect elders discussed.
After a while, the Frosty Moon Sect's discussion finally ended.
"Young Mistress, let's stick to the plan. You'll join Lu Yin and become a subordinate councilor," an old woman said to Yue Xianzi on the screen.
Yue Xianzi felt helpless. "Lu Yin's conditions are very strange. What do the elders think?"
On the other side of the screen, the old women felt a headache coming on. They didn't know what Lu Yin was trying to do either. On the surface, it really did seem like he was in need of money, but that was impossible. Even a normal person wouldn't brazenly mention it when they were in need of money, let alone a young genius like Lu Yin.
"Bring us a map of Frostwave Weave," one of the old women said.
Not long after, the old women gathered around the map of Frostwave Weave and looked at it. One of the old women's eyes lit up. "Everyone, I understand now. Lu Yin's request for funds isn't because he lacks money, but because he's worried about the powers surrounding Frostwave Weave, such as Grandtop Weave's Nine Stacks Sect. He's actually worried that the Nine Stacks Sect will take advantage of the chaos to invade Frostwave Weave, which will cause the Great Yu Empire to split its forces.
"Not bad, not bad. That's right. This kid is very scheming, and most people wouldn't be able to guess his intentions. As expected of Elder Lin, you've participated in border wars and are more experienced than any of us," one of the old women praised.
Elder Lin was pleased. "Haha, it's nothing. This kid is quite scheming. How about this? Send a few experts to warn the Nine Stacks Sect."
"Alright, and warn the powers surrounding Frostwave Weave as well."
"That's right."
…
Yue Xianzi pursed her lips and wanted to say something. She felt that Lu Yin really did want money, and when she thought about his repulsive face, she felt that he really did want money. But that didn't make sense. Forget it, Elder Lin's guess must be correct.
On the other side, An Shaohua of Watermoon Villa was also considering the situation. However, the seniors of Watermoon Villa were thinking even deeper than the Frostmoon Sect.
"The Great Yu Empire's funds are tight. Could it be that the previous war caused the economy to decline?
Or did the Mavis Bank withdraw? "
"Could the Ross Empire have intervened?"
"That's very likely …"
…
In the end, Watermoon Villa decided to send a caravan to the Great Yu Empire to help restore its economy. As for Lu Yin's lack of money, that was a joke. Of course, it didn't exist, as no one would blatantly ask for money.
In San Dios, Barley found Lu Yin. "Councilor, Yue Xianzi and An Shaohua have replied. They understand your intentions and will make preparations."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. Preparations?
A lot?
As expected of a large organization, Lu Yin was rather excited. More money meant faster cultivation, and it also meant that he could roll his die. It also meant that he could go to Bushtree Planet and harvest natural treasures. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. "Monkey, your Seventh Bro's about to improve greatly."
The monkey was confused. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Seventh Bro is about to break Arbiter Lan's record."
Lu Yin was anxiously waiting in San Dios for Yue Xianzi and An Shaohua to deliver the money. On Zenyu Star, a large spacecraft docked at the space station. A group of youths looked out excitedly; they were from Earth and were the first batch of elites to receive Yu Academy's teachings.
They were elites, but that was only relative to Earth. Any random student in the Great Yu Empire could surpass them. Earth was too weak, and the strongest person on Earth, Zhou Shan, was only a Melder. And that was only because he had received help from the Great Yu Empire.
Within the space station, Tianming stood quietly as he watched the spacecraft come to a stop. Behind him, a Yu Academy member looked unhappy. "Hall Master, this is just a border planet. Do we need to personally welcome some Sentinels or even Seekers?"
Tianming smiled. "They're from Earth."
"I know," the Yu Academy member said.
Tianming glanced at him. "Haven't you heard of Earth?"
The Yu Academy member frowned. "It sounds familiar. Let me think." His eyes went wide. "Earth? The Astral Combat Tournament? The Royal Regent's hometown?"
Tianming nodded. "That's right. It's the Royal Regent's hometown."
The Yu Academy member sucked in a breath of cold air, and his gaze immediately changed as he looked at the spacecraft. One's hometown was very important to a person, and in the Great Yu Empire, the people with the highest authority were the Royal Regent and Wendy Yushan. Someone from the Royal Regent's hometown was very important.
It was no wonder why Hall Master Tianming had to personally welcome these cultivators.
As the spacecraft came to a stop, the hatch opened, and a group of soldiers walked out and lined up on both sides. Then, an Explorer walked out. It was obvious that he was from the military, and he had a serious expression as he disembarked.
Behind that Explorer was Zhao Yu.
It had been two years since they had parted, and she had changed slightly. She had become colder, which was related to her battle techniques. As one of the three snow maidens under Bai Xue, she had traveled through the apocalyptic lands alone to Nanjing. This woman's willpower was strong, and few could match it. Back then, she had only been a Seeker, but now she was a Sentinel.
Behind Zhao Yu was Feng Hong, an instructor for the new recruits under Zhou Shan of Nanjing. He had a good relationship with Lu Yin and was now a Sentinel as well.
Behind him was Luo Yi, a woman who had once seduced Lu Yin and feared the apocalypse. Her appearance had become more charming, and she had also reached the Sentinel realm.
Behind her was Qin Xuan, also from Nanjing. Lu Yin had rarely met her, and she was also a Sentinel.
Behind her was Huan Sha, from the capital. She had helped Zhang Dingtian stabilize the situation. She hadn't wanted to leave Earth, but when she heard that Zhang Dingtian had gone missing, she had resolutely left to search for him.
These five were all acquaintances of Lu Yin's, especially Feng Hong and Luo Yi, who had a good relationship with them.
Behind them were a number of young powerhouses from Earth, most of them Seekers, with the occasional Sentinel.
Earth had undergone great changes, and the Sentinel realm was no longer as unreachable as it had once been. However, it wasn't easy to reach either.
In the distance, Tianming looked at his gadget, which displayed the information of all the cultivators on Earth. Among them, there were a few that were worth paying attention to: Huan Sha, awakened talent: Simulation Analysis; Qin Xuan, awakened talent: Solution; Fu Xiaoshu, awakened talent: Illusion; Zhen Tong, awakened talent: Flower; Song Shi, awakened talent: Wind.
A total of five people had awakened their innate gifts, which was somewhat inconceivable to Tianming. Innate gifts were one in a billion, and any cultivator with an awakened innate gift could join the Ten Arbiters Council unconditionally.
There weren't many cultivators with awakened innate gifts in the entire Great Yu Empire, so it was inconceivable that five had awakened innate gifts on a small planet like Earth. Even the captain of the Twelfth Squadron, Ban Jiu, was investigating Earth's information to find out the reason.
Feng Hong looked at the vast Zenyu Star, and when he looked up, he could clearly see the three rings around it. "This is the scene that Brother Lu saw two years ago, and now, we're seeing it as well."
Luo Yi had a complicated expression, "He was just a captain back then, but now he's a genius powerhouse who's popular in the universe. Old Feng, we're lagging too far behind."
Feng Hong laughed, "Don't compare yourself to him. Anyone who does is retarded, haha."
Huan Sha scanned her surroundings, but what she saw was different from the others. She was analyzing the space station, and no matter how she analyzed it, the station's defenses were impenetrable against attacks of the same level. This was the Great Yu Empire's Zenyu Star.
Zhao Yu looked up. She had come to Zenyu Star to search for Bai Xue, shouldering the hopes of countless brothers and sisters in the Blue Camp. They couldn't let her go missing for no reason.
