Seeing Old Tao hesitate, Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, "Speak."
"There's news, but Sky's Hand replied that Bao Qi's location has been stored in the Numinous Treasure Association at the bottom of the Nine-Step Celestial Master Ladder," Old Tao said.
Lu Yin did not understand, "Nine-Step Celestial Master Ladder?"
Old Tao said, "The Nine-Step Celestial Master Ladder is the most important event in the Numinous Treasure Association. Anyone who wants to become a Heavenly Master of Numinous Treasure has to climb the Celestial Master Ladder. If the Association has one Heavenly Master of Numinous Treasure, the Celestial Master Ladder will only have one step. If there are two Heavenly Masters, there will be two steps, and so on."
"Now, there are nine Heavenly Masters of Numinous Treasure in the Association. The Celestial Master Ladder has nine steps."
"Only by climbing the Nine-Step Celestial Master Ladder can one become a Heavenly Master of Numinous Treasure Association and have the right to create a ladder."
"Sky's Hand hid Bao Qi's location at the bottom of the Nine-Step Celestial Master Ladder. The Celestial Master Ladder is located in the innermost area of the Association. Once one approaches it, one will have to challenge the ladder. This is to force the owner to stand against the Association."
"Because to the Numinous Treasure Society, if one approaches the Celestial Master Staircase but does not challenge them, and is not even a Numinous Treasure Master, that is a provocation.
Cai Keqing could not help but say, "That's too vicious."
Old Tao was helpless, "This is the Sky's Hand's method. The Sky's Hand is notorious in the spiritualized universe. Although they created the Whitespirit List, people still remember their assassinations. The Sky's Hand has committed many murders in the spiritualized universe, but because they are powerful and one of the seven major powers, no one dares to provoke them. They also have the backing of Beyond Sky."
"The Sky's Hand doesn't necessarily kill people personally. It's normal to use external forces."
Lu Yin laughed, "For example, Zhen, Wang You Lao, and Dancing Butterfly, right?"
Old Tao did not answer.
Lu Yin was indeed used by the Sky's Hand, but he was willing to do so. Today, the Sky's Hand had used him and forced him to stand against the Numinous Treasure Association, forcing them to take action. It was indeed vicious.
Unless he did not want Bao Qi's position, he would definitely stand against the Numinous Treasure Association and cause the Master Su Sect to take action.
This was an open conspiracy.
Lu Yin stood up, "Let's go."
"Where?" Old Tao was stunned.
Lu Yin looked into the distance, "Treasure Region."
Old Tao and the rest were astonished. "Boss, are you really going against the Numinous Treasure Society?
The Spiritual Treasure Association is definitely not weak. Although it is not at the level of the Seven Superpowers, it is not far off. Especially the Plain Master Sect, it is definitely not weaker than Revered Qi. His Spiritual Treasure Array is extremely terrifying. Think twice. "
Palace Master Yao also advised, "It's best not to provoke the Numinous Treasure Association. They have an endless array of Numinous Treasure Arrays. The threat they pose is completely different from that of cultivators."
Lu Yin stretched lazily. "What can I do?
I must know Bao Qi's whereabouts, but Old Tao, are you sure the location given by Heavenly Hand is not fake? "
Old Tao said with certainty, "The Heavenly Hand Envoy is a murderer, but there is no deception in this conspiracy. Otherwise, the Black and White Spiritual Lists would be invalid. Since they said that they hid Bao Qi's position under the Nine-step Celestial Master Ladder, it can't be fake."
"This is Heaven's Hand's insistence."
Lu Yin found it funny. "An assassin organization still has persistence?
Interesting. "
"Let's go, Spirit Treasure Realm. I also want to see the sourcebox array of this spiritualized universe."
The Star Toad stuck out his tongue. He did not know what these people were worried about. This kid was the number one Origin Array Heavenly Master in the Tian Yuan Universe. Right, they did not know.
How could the spiritualized universe's people know how many abilities Lu Yin had grasped?
Old Tao could only lead the way to the Spirit Treasure Realm with apprehension.
He kept praying that Lu Yin would not go against the Numinous Treasure Association. The Numinous Treasure Association seemed to be a loose organization, but it was actually very united. Going against them would be very troublesome.
Very troublesome.
At the same time, in the Supreme Heaven Palace in the Beyond Heaven, Yu Sang Tian had his hands behind his back as he looked in a certain direction. "Plain Master Path."
From where Yu Sang Tian was looking, there was a domain called the Spirit Treasure Realm. The Spirit Treasure Realm was different from other domains. Anyone was allowed to enter, but no one dared to casually enter because it was filled with danger.
The spiritualized universe's cultivation method was unified, and some resources were also unified.
All the Numinous Treasures were stored in the Spirit Treasure Realm.
It was not a proper place to store them. The Zhikong Domain had simply thrown all the Numinous Treasures in the spiritualized universe into the Spirit Treasure Realm. It was once said that if there was a day when the Spirit Treasure Realm no longer had the danger of Numinous Treasures, then the spiritualized universe would no longer be limited by Numinous Treasures. One could unlock, set up, and completely grasp this path.
How many Numinous Treasures were there in the spiritualized universe?
No one knew.
All of the Numinous Treasures were left in the Spirit Treasure Realm, which led to Numinous Treasures being filled with danger. It was possible that there would be danger in the next step even if there was none at this step.
This also led to the Spirit Treasure Realm being the holy land of all the spiritualized universe's Lockbreakers. They could only go to the Spirit Treasure Realm, as they could not find any Numinous Treasures anywhere else.
The Zhikong Domain's methods continuously raised the level of the spiritualized universe's Lockbreakers.
The Spirit Treasure Association had nine Heavenly Masters, but that was not all of the spiritualized universe's members. There were at least fifty Heavenly Masters in the entire spiritualized universe.
"More than fifty?" Lu Yin was shocked.
Old Tao was certain. "At least fifty, not including the Plain Master's Path."
Lu Yin sighed. "The Zhikong Domain is indeed smart. Any Numinous Treasures that appear in the spiritualized universe must be thrown into the Spirit Treasure Realm. This method not only solves the problem of Lockbreakers not needing to search for Numinous Treasures, but it also gathers all the Lockbreakers into the Spirit Treasure Realm. They can cultivate, compete, and learn from each other, which greatly increases the level of Lockbreakers."
More than fifty Heavenly Masters was a number far greater than the Tian Yuan Universe's.
In the entire Tian Yuan Universe, there were only ten to twenty Origin Heavenly Masters, which was less than half of the spiritualized universe's total. And this was an optimistic estimate. If there were only a few Origin Heavenly Masters in the Reincarnation Space-Time, then there would not even be ten in total.
The spiritualized universe was one step ahead of the rest.
Old Tao tried to persuade Lu Yin again. "Boss, although most of the Heavenly Masters have not joined the Spirit Treasure Association, their relationship with them is quite good. If you offend them, then …"
The Heavenly Masters represented their lockbreaking ability, not their actual strength.
In a one-on-one battle, a Heavenly Master might not necessarily be a match for a Sequence Law powerhouse, and they might not even necessarily win against a Progenitor.
However, the Heavenly Masters were most formidable in their sourcebox arrays. If they were given enough time, they could easily kill anyone.
Dozens of Heavenly Masters meant that there were more than a hundred sourcebox arrays, or even more than two hundred.
This was a terrifying number, and if all of them were thrown into the Dayu Villa, just thinking about it gave Lu Yin a headache.
Lu Yin exhaled, and this feeling was similar to when he had gone to the Intent Realm and learned of Sovereign Qi's existence.
The spiritualized universe had a deep foundation, and the Tian Yuan Universe could not compare to it.
After all, they all had the same cultivation method and the same distribution of resources.
The Tian Yuan Universe was like a lunatic with four limbs and a brain, but the spiritualized universe was like a complete person with intelligence and the ability to act.
However, there was a fine line between a lunatic and a genius.
…
In the depths of the Spirit Treasure Realm, black and white intermingled. The mountains, waters, rivers, flowers, birds, fish, and insects were all black and white. This was a world of black and white.
An old man sat alone on a fishing platform, leisurely and contented.
"Plain Master Sect," a low voice said.
The old man opened his eyes. "Yu Sang Tian?
What's the matter? "
"Are you satisfied with that battle back then?"
The old man calmly looked at the lake. The lake water was black, but the fish swimming at the bottom were white. It was very conspicuous, but even so, he still could not catch any.
"So what if I'm satisfied? So what if I'm not?"
"If you're not satisfied, you can continue to fight for Sang Tian's position."
"I'm old, and I don't have the heart for that."
"You should know that there was a hidden story behind that battle."
The old man's eyes flashed. "What hidden story?"
"There was a hidden story. Are you satisfied?"
The old man put down his fishing rod. "You're not satisfied? Tell me, what are your conditions?"
"The Third Master of the Dayu Manor is coming. Suppress him, or kill him."
The old man picked up his fishing rod again. "That Third Master is not to be trifled with."
"He's coming for you."
"If he comes for me, I'll accompany him."
The old man looked at the bottom of the lake in a daze. The white fish occasionally approached him, but they quickly left. Before they left, they even swung their tails, splashing water on the old man. It was intentional.
The old man smiled and did not mind. He continued to fish.
…
The Spirit Treasure Realm was in the lower half of the word "Spirit" in the thirty-six realms. It was one of the few realms with absolute strength that was not in the upper half.
The distance from the continent of the Dancing Butterfly World to the Spirit Treasure Realm was not close, but it was not far either.
After Lu Yin's group left the continent, the people who were watching them were guessing their destination.
There were some realms in that direction, as well as some starry sky cities or strange places.
When Lu Yin's group headed in that direction, many cultivators in that direction ran away. The higher their cultivation, the faster they ran. They did not dare to stay behind, afraid that Lu Yin would cause trouble for them.
Skyhand was relieved, as that direction was the Spirit Treasure Realm.
The closer they got to the Spirit Treasure Realm, the more worried Old Tao became.
Offending the Spirit Treasure Association was different from offending one of the seven great powers. Offending one of the seven great powers was one thing, but the Spirit Treasure Association did not have any conflicts of interest with the other powers. The other powers still wanted to curry favor with the Spirit Treasure Association.
Offending the Spirit Treasure Association would not be any better than provoking the Realm Beyond Heaven.
Of course, Old Tao did not dare to say such things. Looking at the Dayu Manor's actions, they were challenging the spiritualized universe's bottom line.
Why had Lu Yin brought Palace Mistress Yao and Cai Keqing out?
Yu Shan was still tied up in Boundless, which was a provocation.
If Old Tao had said such things, the Third Master would have been even happier.
He could not speak of his troubles.
As they got closer to the Spirit Treasure Realm, the atmosphere began to change.
Lu Yin saw a few Lockbreakers. Lockbreakers and cultivators had different auras, and it was usually easy to distinguish them.
These Lockbreakers were not afraid of Lu Yin, and some of them even looked at him with shining eyes, as if they were from two different worlds.
Lu Yin felt nostalgic.
When he had offended the Daynight clan, he had relied on the Lockbreaker Society to survive.
The Lockbreakers helped each other and were united, which had given him a chance to survive.
In essence, he had a good impression of Lockbreakers.
A few days later, a few youths blocked their path.
"Who are you people?
Why are you blocking the way? "Old Tao asked.
The man in the middle stepped forward and stared at Lu Yin. "May I ask if you are the Dayu Manor's Third Master?"
Lu Yin looked at him. He was a Lockbreaker. "That's me."
"Where are you going, Third Master?" the man asked again.
Lu Yin laughed. "Do I need to tell you?"
