The Tomb of Mountains and Rivers defended its surroundings. The Ancient Sword spun and slashed towards Mister Yi Nan and Mister Li.
Mr. Li's hair stood on end, and he fled without thinking.
Yi Nan also wanted to escape. There was no way to fight, so he also fled.
The two of them fled in opposite directions.
In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire Southbound Realm. Stars appeared in front of First Disaster and Mister Li. Explode, Sirius.
Mister Li spat out blood and retreated. If he were to change directions, he would not be able to tear the void in time.
Another star appeared and exploded.
In the blink of an eye, stars appeared, exploding, exploding, exploding.
The Southbound World was shattered.
In the starry skies, Elder Yu watched calmly. Was this the limit?
No, he hadn't reached his limit yet.
Just where was this kid's limit?
He had become the master of the Tianyuan Universe at such a young age. His power was indeed terrifying. If he was given more time to cultivate, he might be able to surpass Yu Sang Tian.
Seeing Mister Li being suppressed while vomiting blood, Old Yu heaved a sigh of relief. He had to change his way of thinking about this Master Lu. This person wasn't afraid of anything, he was too domineering.
Mr. Li was overwhelmed.
Lu Yin looked to the other side. The First Calamity had not fled into space, but had instead gone to a corner of the Southbound Realm. Lu Yin's gaze froze. If he had not guessed wrongly, that was where the Ninth Spirit resided.
The Ninth Spirit was in the South Roving World. It was because of the Ninth Spirit that the Dayu Mountain Villa had been able to clear out the Heaven's Hand branch.
First Disaster was very clever. He had hidden at the Ninth Spirit's place. Even if Lu Yin wanted to kill him, he would destroy the Ninth Spirit's residence and make enemies for Lu Yin.
Lu Yin watched as Yi Nan charged into the valley, stars swirling around him as he exploded.
With a boom, the valley shattered.
Lu Yin was astonished; there wasn't even a sourcebox array?
He had thought that the Ninth Spirit's residence would at least be guarded or protected by a sourcebox array.
There was nothing at all.
She had made up her mind to let Heavenly Hand guard the door for her.
The star exploded, and Yi Nan spat out blood. Like Mr. Li, he had reached his limit. He had fought with all his might to reach the Ninth Spirit, and now he had collapsed.
The two experts who had crossed the Bitter Calamity were defeated.
This scene was only seen by Yu Lao and the people from the Southbound World.
Qian Men Feidu also wanted to escape the moment Yi Nan and Mr. Li escaped. The rest of the Heaven's Hands also wanted to escape, but they were all intercepted by one person, and that was Old Yu.
Foolish Old Man made his move, sealing off the entire South Touring World and the surrounding starry skies.
Qianmen Feidu shouted something, but his voice couldn't be heard outside. Only Lu Yin could hear him.
Lu Yin took a step forward and arrived at the shattered valley. He casually suppressed Yi Nan within the General Appointment Platform Hell, but just as he was about to leave, he paused and slowly turned his head to look at the ground not too far away.
Under the pile of rubble, a portrait floated up with the wind and flew into the distance.
Lu Yin waved his hand, and the portrait landed in his palm. As he looked at the portrait, he revealed the most shocked expression he had seen since coming to the spiritualized universe. This was … Fengbo?
The Count of the Wind, one of the Eternal Tribe's Three Masters and Six Heroes, who had toppled the Mavis Godly Tree, and who had been dealing with Beauty Mavis in the Mirage Realm. His portrait had actually appeared in the Ninth Spirit's valley. How could this be?
Fengbo definitely wasn't someone from the Tian Yuan Universe. Back then, Lu Yin hadn't known much about this universe. It was only after he had killed Fengbo and released Hongyan Mavis that he had gradually interacted with the Protectors of the Four Cardinal Regions that he had learned about this universe. Before that, although Lu Yin had known that Fengbo wasn't from the Tian Yuan Universe, he hadn't paid much attention to it.
He also wasn't someone from the spiritualized universe, or else Butterfly Tianen would have known about him.
At that time, Lu Yin had used Fengbo to stall Butterfly Tianen and cause trouble for the Above Heaven Sect. Butterfly Tianen truly hadn't known about Fengbo's existence, and he had even caused trouble for the Eternal Tribe.
The Protectors of the Four Cardinal Regions were lackeys of the spiritualized universe, which proved that Fengbo definitely wasn't someone from the spiritualized universe.
Ever since Yuan Qi and Zhan Yan had been captured, Lu Yin had asked them whether there were still people from the spiritualized universe around, but they hadn't mentioned Fengbo. In the thirty-seven years he had spent reversing time, Lu Yin had captured many spiritualized cultivators, but none of them had mentioned Fengbo.
Fengbo definitely wasn't someone from the spiritualized universe, but Lu Yin hoped that he was. Otherwise, there would be another universe that was related to the One True God.
How had someone from the spiritualized universe come to the Tian Yuan Universe?
Fengbo hadn't gone there on his own. His dying words had made Lu Yin understand that his trip to the Tian Yuan Universe was related to the One True God. Could the One True God have gone to Fengbo's universe?
But what did this have to do with the spiritualized universe?
What did it have to do with the Ninth Spirit?
There was more than one portrait, and there were many more buried in the shattered valley. Each one was filled with charm, and they were all of Fengbo. They vividly portrayed Fengbo's viciousness and forbearance. The person who had drawn this portrait knew Fengbo very well, and it was filled with hatred.
Was it drawn by the Ninth Spirit?
Lu Yin stood in place, his thoughts in a mess.
Another universe had appeared.
The Tian Yuan Universe that he was in had been closely followed by the spiritualized universe, followed by the Lost Tribe's Insect Nest Universe, and then the Consciousness Universe. And now, the universe that Fengbo was in had appeared, and this universe was related to the One True God.
The One True God had come to the spiritualized universe, and the Ninth Spirit, one of the Seven Great Mulberry Skies, had a portrait of Fengbo. What was the connection?
Lu Yin really hoped that Fengbo was from the spiritualized universe.
When he thought of this, Lu Yin contacted Yuan Qi.
Not long after, he put down the spirit cloud stone. Yuan Qi's reply was very certain. He did not know who Fengbo was, and Zhan Yan also said that he did not know.
Lu Yin stared at the portrait in a daze. Yuan Qi and Zhan Yan were working together with the Everlasting Tribe, and they could sense auras that did not belong to the current universe. This meant that Fengbo had remained in the mirage domain to deal with Hongyan Mavis. It was not just to deal with her, but also to avoid her.
He was avoiding Yuan Qi and the others from the spiritualized universe. At that time, there were still the Four Guardians.
If Yuan Qi and the others knew of Fengbo's existence, then they would definitely know that there was another universe.
It was no wonder why Fengbo had remained in the mirage domain. Lu Yin had felt that something was wrong at the time. Was it really worth it for Hongyan Mavis?
He had stayed in the mirage domain for so many years.
Now, there was a second explanation.
If his guess was correct, then the One True God was not just working with the spiritualized universe. He also had another universe behind him.
Lu Yin put down his hand. He had thought that he had seen through the three universes, but he had discovered that there was an even greater secret hidden in the depths of the darkness.
This secret needed to be explained by the One True God, and the person who could confirm its existence was the Ninth Spirit.
If it could be confirmed that Fengbo did not belong to the spiritualized universe, then all of his guesses would be confirmed.
Lu Yin released his hand and allowed the portrait to fall to the ground. He then turned around and crossed over to the Traverse Domain. He appeared beside the collapsed Mister Li and suppressed him in the Point General Platform Hell. Finally, he looked at the remaining members of the Heaven's Hand.
The Southbound Domain was the headquarters of the Heaven's Hand, and there were many cultivators of the Heaven's Hand here.
After being defeated by First Calamity, most of these people had committed suicide.
After all, they were assassins, and their understanding of death was completely different from that of ordinary people.
In the end, only the cultivators of the Dao of Spiritual Treasures and Qian Men Feidu were left.
Qian Men Feidu had hidden countless doors in the Southbound Domain and the surrounding space. This was his trump card, but it paled in comparison to Foolish Old and Lu Yin.
Lu Yin also saw Qian Men Feidu's face clearly. Previously, he had only seen his mouth.
Qian Men Feidu was a pale-faced youth with turbid eyes. He looked young, but he had lived for a very long time. After all, he was a Spiritual Prime.
Facing Lu Yin, he could only plead, "Third Master, the Heaven's Hand is in charge of First Calamity, not me. Everything targeting you is done by First Calamity. It has nothing to do with me. I can help you obtain any information about the spiritualized universe. I'm very useful."
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back, "All information?"
Qian Men Feidu nodded and hurriedly said, "Most of the Heaven's Hand's information comes from me. I was the one who found out about Zhen, Carefree Old Man, and the others. No one else could find them. I'm very useful. Let me follow you. I can definitely help Dayu Manor gather information."
Lu Yin nodded, "Alright."
Qian Men Feidu's eyes brightened, "Thank you, Third Master."
"I can give you the opportunity, but it depends on your ability to seize it." Lu Yin looked at Qian Men Feidu, "Find Meng Sang Tian for me."
Qian Men Feidu was stunned, "Meng Sang Tian?"
Lu Yin stared at Qian Men Feidu and moved his finger, causing a karma spiral to pass through him. He saw his karma threads colliding with each other in a mess.
"Third Master, Meng Sang Tian is one of the Seven Great Sang Tians. He's not someone I can fight against. Once I find him, he'll be able to sense it. Please give me a chance. I'm willing to do anything for you. Third Master, I beg you …"
As he listened to Qian Men Feidu's pleas, Lu Yin saw more and more karma threads.
Qian Men Feidu felt uncomfortable under Lu Yin's gaze, as if he had been seen through. He couldn't even beg for mercy. Just now, he had indeed felt that he had been penetrated, but he didn't dare to dodge. He could only stand in place. He could tell that Lu Yin wasn't looking at him, but above his head.
What could be above his head?
Qian Men Feidu couldn't understand this Third Master.
This lasted for a full hour, which was the longest he had ever looked at a single causal line. He saw many conflicting causal lines, and in the end, he saw a very interesting causal line. He also saw a person: the Intelligence Void Domain's Dark Transmission.
The master of the Celestial Hand had actually sided with the Dark Transmission of the Wisdom Domain.
The Wisdom Domain had both overt and covert transmission. The overt transmission traveled the world, while the covert transmission sat alone outside the world. They used the overt transmission's eyes to experience the world and ultimately succeed.
The Wisdom Domain's master had always been a covert transmission, including Elder Yu. There had never been an exception.
For an overt transmission, competing with a covert transmission was extremely stressful. This was because everyone knew that the covert transmission was the master of the Wisdom Domain. Over and over again, the overt transmission couldn't compete with the covert transmission. Everyone supported the covert transmission, and the overt transmission faced too much pressure.
The Foolish Young Master had sought out Lu Yin many times in order to use the Dayu Villa to turn the tables and defeat the covert transmission, becoming the first overt transmission in history.
However, he had no idea how powerful the covert transmission was.
Lu Yin didn't know whether the Five Realms Emptiness was the work of the covert transmission or Elder Yu, but Qian Men Feidu had sided with the covert transmission. This was something that Elder Yu didn't know, or rather, Qian Men Feidu thought that Elder Yu didn't know.
The master of the Celestial Hand, a Spiritual Prime, had actually sided with a junior whose cultivation wasn't very high. This wasn't just because the covert transmission had the ability to find him and convince him, but also because of the Wisdom Domain itself.
