At this time, the Ninth Spirit arrived, still drunk and hazy. Lan frowned and stepped forward, bowing respectfully. "Lan greets the Ninth Spirit."
The Ninth Spirit burped and faced Lan with a smile. "Sorry for being late."
She looked ahead and saw Lu Yin and the others. She greeted them. "Old Zhan Ming, you're not dead yet?
I remember someone in the consciousness universe saying that you were dead. What a pity. "
She looked at Meng Sang Tian. "Isn't this Meng Sang?
Everyone says that you're missing, but you're not dead. What a pity. "
Finally, she looked at Lu Yin. "The most pitiful one is you. Why didn't you die together with Hou?"
Lu Yin looked at her. "Let's talk after the day of the sacrifice."
Zhan Ming, Lan, and even Su Shidao did not understand why Lu Yin wanted to talk to the Ninth Spirit. She did not seem to care about worldly affairs, aside from a few mischievous interests.
The Ninth Spirit burped again and waved her hands. "Don't look for me. I don't know you well."
Emperor Wu arrived, his height oppressive. With his arrival, the Seven Great Mulberry Skies were all present. Lan led the way, not to the Extreme Palace, but to the border of Sky Beyond.
Standing there, one could look out into space. Just one more step and they would be out of Sky Beyond.
Yu Sang Tian was already waiting there, his back to the group.
The Seven Great Mulberry Skies had arrived.
Yu Sang Tian spoke. "Sacrifice spirits. At the end of the spiritualized universe, attitude is more important than form. Previously, the sacrifice spirits were all in the Lushan Region. Now that the Seven Great Mulberry Skies are missing, they have all moved to Sky Beyond."
He looked up into space. "In an hour, the sacrifice spirits will begin."
An hour was a short time.
But in the history of the spiritualized universe, Yu Sang Tian and the Seven Great Mulberry Skies had rarely gathered. It was almost always the day of the sacrifice spirits.
At this moment, the entire spiritualized universe was silent. Countless cultivators faced Sky Beyond. Some were muttering to themselves, while others were bowing in worship. Everyone had their own way of expressing their piety.
And at this moment, above Boundless Border, Jiang Qi who was wrapped in a blanket was shivering, trembling more and more.
The day of the sacrifice spirits was very important, but there were only eight people. These eight represented the entire spiritualized universe.
Soon, an hour passed. Yu Sang Tian raised his hand and tapped the void with his index finger.
The starry sky was like a mirror, smooth and complete. At this moment, time and space stopped. Only Yu Sang Tian's voice could be heard, "Tie, Sang Tian Knot."
Yu Sang Tian and the Seven Great Sang Tian acted at the same time, using their respective powers to form a Mulberry Heavenly Knot. It was only one Mulberry Heavenly Knot, but it gathered the power of eight peak experts.
"The Mulberry Heaven Knot has been formed, Guardian Spirit …"
Sang Tianjie flew toward the deep starry sky and gradually burned. The flames illuminated the entire spiritualized universe, illuminating every corner.
In the spiritualized universe, all the practitioners saw the fiery light and knelt down in unison. "Guardian spirit."
"Guardian Spirit."
"Guardian Spirit …"
"Let the heart be round, the spirit word heavens, sacrifice to the Great Dao …" Yu Sang Tian's voice echoed throughout the entire spiritualized universe.
If Dancing Butterfly Horizon was here, would he have given him a blow? Lu Yin watched his back.
Actually, he also wanted to attack Yu Sang Tian, but the more he understood Yu Sang Tian's strength, the more he realized the gap between them. A sneak attack was meaningless. If he could injure Yu Sang Tian with a sneak attack, it meant that he had the strength to fight Yu Sang Tian head-on.
Clearly, he was still lacking a bit.
However, if the Seven Great Sang Tian worked together, he could give it a try.
Wu Huang, the Ninth Spirit, and the others.
Everyone looked at Yu Sang Tian's back, their thoughts unknown.
This wasn't the first time they had experienced a guardian spirit.
Yuan Qi was the most emotional. The last time he had experienced a guardian spirit was a long time ago, and he had never thought that he would have the chance to participate in one.
The previous guardian spirits had all been in Lushan Domain. Lushan Domain was his hometown, but he didn't miss it. Time could wash away all memories.
When the Mulberry Heavenly Knot finished burning, the thirty-six filaments shook.
Wu Huang and the others trembled. It was here.
The most attractive aspect of a guardian spirit was its spectacle, and whether or not they would be able to see it would depend on the Mulberry Heavenly Knot burning.
They had sacrificed their guardian spirits time and time again, but had been disappointed. Would they be able to see it this time?
The Master Su Sect was filled with anticipation.
Yuan Qi's breathing quickened.
Lu Yin looked up at the sky. Spectacle?
What would it be?
Just as he thought about it, his eyes narrowed as he saw an inconceivable scene.
In the spiritualized universe, the spirit threads of the thirty-six filaments formed the word "spirit." At this moment, the word seemed to come alive as it slowly floated up. It wasn't the spirit threads that floated up, nor was it the thirty-six filaments. On the surface, everything seemed normal, but the word was floating up. At the same time, seven giant funnels appeared in seven different directions of the spiritualized universe. They weren't vertical like normal funnels, but vertical instead. The bottom of the funnels faced the deep starry sky, as if the entire universe had been turned upside down.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed as he stared at this scene. The seven directions were the seven karmic lands that he had seen before.
The funnels seemed to be absorbing something. Lu Yin watched as the inverted funnels absorbed something from the bottom up. Then, liquid dripped out from the opening and floated up like a giant bubble.
Compared to the entire spiritualized universe, the seven funnels were very small. However, compared to people and even the 36 domains, the funnels were very large. They divided the spiritualized universe into seven parts. The "Ling" word that floated up once again floated up, and another "Ling" word appeared. Immediately after, more "Ling" words appeared. Each "Ling" word was smaller than the previous one. As the "Ling" word floated up, the liquid on the inverted funnels also floated up continuously. It was the same rhythm as the "Ling" word.
The liquid that had appeared in the seven funnels floated up into the deep starry sky. From Lu Yin's perspective, it looked like the word had formed a triangle that extended up into the sky until it disappeared.
From beginning to end, Lu Yin stared blankly. What was the meaning of this?
He couldn't understand.
Beside him, Yuan Qi looked at Lu Yin and sighed when he saw Lu Yin's strange expression. Indeed, only he could see it.
Of the Seven Sang Skies, whoever could see the spectacle would be the next Yu Sang Tian.
There were very few Sang Skies who could see the spectacle at the same time.
Yu Sang Tian and Elder Xingxia's generation had seen it at the same time, and in the end, Elder Xingxia had died and Yu Sang Tian had ascended to the top.
Lu Yin was still immersed in the spectacle and didn't notice Yuan Qi looking at him.
Soon, Su Shidao also looked at Lu Yin, followed by Wu Huang, Zhan Ming, and the rest. Lu Yin's abnormal behavior was a little too obvious, and it made them uncomfortable.
The spectacle of the spiritualized universe's tribute spirit had actually been seen by an outsider.
Yu Sang Tian's back was still facing the Seven Sang Skies, and he didn't need to look to know that only Lu Yin could see the spectacle.
What would Lu Yin think if he saw it?
Lu Yin didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't understand what this spectacle meant.
The word "spirit" in the thirty-six filaments and the funnels in the seven directions were also the seven karmic lands. He thought back to when he had borrowed the power of Inaction in the Intent Realm.
The sword had also seen the spectacle.
His eyes twinkled; could there be another universe within the universe?
As the "Ling" character and the liquid disappeared into the heavens, no one knew where they had gone. Even Lu Yin could not see them. Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering rumble as the "Ling" character and the seven funnels shattered and turned into clouds that enveloped the entire spiritualized universe. Similarly, only Lu Yin could see this scene; no one else could.
The clouds suddenly dispersed, and a ray of green light pierced through the darkness and spread throughout the spiritualized universe, illuminating every corner of space.
It was so obvious and bright, but still, no one could see it.
Lu Yin stared blankly above the green light, where an incomparably large figure covered in light stood up. It seemed to have just woken up, and it stretched lazily and yawned, its back facing everyone else.
That figure was so large that it covered the entire sky, but Lu Yin couldn't see its appearance clearly. All he could see was a green light that swirled about, almost blinding him. It was like a deity, and he couldn't look straight at it.
Suddenly, all of the green light converged and transformed into a sharp blade that slashed towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly dodged. The green blade swept past his body and disappeared.
In an instant, everything was gone.
The clouds, the green light, the figure — everything disappeared in an instant, including the green blade.
The only change was that Lu Yin had moved away from where he had been standing. He was the only one who had moved.
Yu Sang Tian turned around and looked at Lu Yin.
The other Sang Tians also looked at Lu Yin, and even a fool would know what Lu Yin had seen.
Lu Yin looked at the heavens again, but there was nothing there. What had just happened seemed like an illusion, but was it really an illusion?
When the green blade had slashed down, Lu Yin's scalp had gone numb, and he had felt a sense of horror that he had never experienced before. He had been powerless to resist, and he had felt even more powerless than when he had faced Yu Sang Tian.
He did not dodge the cyan blade. Instead, it was the cyan blade that disappeared on its own.
The strangest thing was that no one had seen such a vast scene and such a terrifying power. In the entire spiritualized universe, perhaps only he and Yu Sang Tian had seen it.
Lu Yin felt like he had seen a ghost.
He could see karma that others could not, and that gave him a sense of superiority. But now, he did not wish to see that miraculous scene or that god-like figure.
He was the master of the Tian Yuan Universe, and he had even faced a grass master before. But at this moment, an indistinct figure had given him the illusion of a god.
What was that?
"Hey, did you see it?" The Ninth Spirit blinked and stared at Lu Yin.
Wu Huang, Zhan Ming, and the others all looked at Lu Yin deeply.
Lu Yin's expression slowly returned to normal, and he tried his best to disperse the fear in his heart. "No."
His hoarse voice revealed his restless heart.
The Ninth Spirit rolled her eyes. "So what if you saw it? Stop pretending."
"Congratulations, Lu Sang Tian," Zhan Ming congratulated, but his expression was not normal.
No matter how shrewd he was, he could not accept the fact that an outsider like Lu Yin had seen the miraculous scene of the spiritualized universe. Could this outsider really become Yu Sang Tian?
Wu Huang turned to leave, preparing for the battle at Fu Heyuan half a year later.
Yu Sang Tian spoke up. "I have something to announce."
Everyone looked at him.
Yu Sang Tian's gaze swept across the seven major Sang Tians, and he said mildly, "Wu Huang and the Ninth Spirit have returned from the consciousness universe and captured Ye Meng of the 13 Celestial Phenomena. Ye Meng has already revealed the location of the Earth of Yi."
