Yi Shang gritted his teeth. "I told you that I wouldn't make a mistake. It's just a few trillion spirit seeds."
"I don't believe you."
"How about I give them to you now?"
"Sure, give them to me."
Yi Shang looked at his cosmic ring. "I'll go to the Grand Domain and ask the Chamber of Commerce to give them to you."
"Let's make an oath."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Go to the Grand Domain and give them to me. I don't trust you. Let's make an oath."
Yi Shang gritted his teeth. "I'll go now."
"Swear."
Yi Shang was bitter, but he understood that this person wanted to capture him.
"Lu Sangtian, since you're forcing me like this, I'm sure you didn't come here by accident. You must be looking for me."
Lu Yin shook his head. "If you're alone in another universe, you'll be surrounded by enemies, and you'll understand why I'm being cautious. Besides, why would I look for you?"
Yi Shang looked at Lu Yin. "We're both smart people, so there's no need to beat around the bush. There will definitely be bets, and Lu Sangtian's share will definitely be there. I'm leaving now, so please don't stop me."
He then began to retreat. At the same time, the consciousness lifeform also slowly retreated. Its eyes were filled with vigilance and fear as it followed Yi Shang.
Lu Yin sighed. "As expected, you spiritualized universe people aren't trustworthy. Since all of you want to scheme against me, then don't blame me for being rude." As he spoke, he took a step forward and began to parallel time.
Yi Shang's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed the beast with one hand before taking another step back. This step alone caused him to disappear.
Lu Yin stared at the empty space in a daze. He had disappeared without a trace. It wasn't the distance, but rather the space. He had probably gone to another void.
Even someone at Lu Yin's or the Primogenitor's level would have to go through the process of tearing through the void in order to travel to a parallel universe, no matter how short the process was.
However, Yi Shang had just skipped this process and disappeared without a trace.
Was this the power of his Turbid Treasure?
No wonder the Primogenitor had said that he couldn't see Lu Yin's back.
However, the beast had seen it... There had been a beast between Yi Shang and himself, and that beast had been five meters away from Yi Shang.
His goal wasn't to catch Yi Shang, as he knew that he wouldn't be able to do so. Instead, he wanted to get closer to the beast and see how Yi Shang had left.
He hadn't been able to find any memories of Yi Shang's Turbid Treasure when he'd first entered the beast's body. It seemed that Yi Shang was also on guard against this sentient lifeform, but things had been different just now. Yi Shang had been wary of Lu Yin, so he wouldn't have paid much attention to the beast. In that situation, he wouldn't have been able to perfectly avoid all eyes.
Even though he was able to avoid Lu Yin's gaze, he couldn't avoid the beast's.
A five-meter radius allowed him to merge into the beast's body. The moment Yi Shang fled, he saw that it was a small wing-like object that seemed to be made of wood.
Yi Shang had used this wooden wing to instantly disappear. That wooden wing was a Turbid Treasure.
Turbid treasures were the most miraculous items in the universe. They were beyond common sense, and even the primogenitor and Mister Mu could not explain them.
The Only True God had done everything he could to steal the turbid treasure. Yi Shang's strength was mediocre, but he had relied on a turbid treasure to escape right under the noses of the Primogenitor and Lu Yin. One could imagine just how powerful a turbid treasure was.
The wooden wings were probably used to escape.
With the wooden wings, it would be very difficult to catch Yi Shang. The problem now was to find him.
Yi Shang sighed in a strange parallel universe and looked down at the wooden wings in his hand. He would not have used the turbid treasure unless he had no other choice, but he had no other choice.
He had accidentally found this turbid treasure, and it had saved his life many times. Without it, he would not have been able to leave the Grandmaster Domain, let alone obtain the position of Sang Tian.
He was a merchant who was not good at killing, but he had become Sang Tian. He had experienced far more difficulties than others could imagine.
Putting away the wooden wings, the beast growled from the side.
Yi Shang was not in a hurry to return. Instead, he kept thinking about how Lu Yin had found him. He had not left behind any clues, and no one knew where he was. How had Lu Yin found him?
Could it be that when Yi Shang had taken out the spirit cloud stone, the only change was that Rong Xiang had used the stone to contact him. Could Lu Sangtian have used the stone to find him?
Although Yi Shang wanted to hide from Lu Yin, he could not be at ease until he found out how he had been found. Who could guarantee that Lu Sangtian would not be able to control him when he found him again? Yi Shang had to take advantage of the fact that Lu Sangtian could not capture him to find out the reason.
An hour later, Yi Shang returned to the spiritualized universe.
He did not return to the Hundred Herbs Region, but instead rolled his die nearby. There was still more than a month before his battle with Emperor Wu, and there was no point in returning. Rolling the die would be more helpful.
How many sentient lifeforms were there in the spiritualized universe?
How many sentient lifeforms were there in the parallel universes? What were they thinking?
After hiding for so many years, what had he seen and what had he learned? This was a shortcut for him to see the spiritualized universe. He had not been able to do it before, but now, he could. This opened the door to a new world for him, and the feeling of being omniscient and omnipotent returned.
Unfortunately, it would be perfect if he could fuse it with the spiritualized universe's cultivators.
However, this was impossible, as the cultivation method of a spirit seed could not be fused. Every individual was a different lifeform.
Lu Yin sometimes wondered if the spiritualized universe's cultivators were still humans.
They relied on spirit molts to become humans or beasts, which gave them an advantage in terms of cultivation. They could make their own choices, but were they still pure humans?
In the Tianyuan Universe, humans had relied on willpower and tempering to surpass the astral beasts, allowing them to reach the peak.
However, in the spiritualized universe, Lu Yin could not see such tempering. Instead, he saw assimilation.
Humans could spirit molt into beasts, which was essentially the same as humans becoming Corpse Kings of the Eternals.
Whether it was astral beasts or Corpse Kings, they were no longer humans.
With complicated thoughts, Lu Yin tapped his finger. There was no point in thinking so much, so he rolled his die.
A month was too short for cultivators, and many people had already gathered at Fu Heyuan to wait for the battle.
If Lu Yin won, then aside from Yu Sangtian, there would be no one else in the spiritualized universe who could fight him. If Emperor Wu did not win, then the spiritualized universe's attitude towards Wu Jiang would change. A person who had been labeled as invincible would become an ordinary person. No matter how powerful they were, they would still be an ordinary person.
An ordinary person who could be touched could be surrounded and killed.
In the dark space, Lu Yin saw an orb of light and rushed over to merge with it.
He rolled it four times, but it did not reach six pips. After resting for ten days, he rolled it two more times, but it only reached six pips on his third try.
He had seen many orbs of light before, but he had passed them all without merging with them. He was now looking for two orbs: one was Wu Wei, and the other was the astral beast that followed Yi Shang.
After searching for a while, he finally found a similar astral beast.
Only then did he merge with it.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was indeed the astral beast. Yi Shang was actually in the Grand Domain?
Lu Yin had not expected Yi Shang to actually return to the Grand Domain and meet with Rong Xiang.
Grand Domain, Buyi City. Rong Xiang was shocked. "Lu Sangtian found you?"
Yi Shang's expression was solemn. "Tell me in detail what he said and did when he came."
Rong Xiang recalled for a moment before slowly replying.
Lu Yin withdrew from the orb, and his consciousness returned to his body as he headed towards the Grand Domain.
Yi Shang was addicted to hiding under the radar. First, it was Zhen's cultivation area, and now it was the Grand Domain. Did he think that Lu Yin would not be able to find him?
Wait, Lu Yin suddenly paused. No, Yi Shang was not stupid. If this trick had not worked the first time, he would not think that it would work a second time. After all, for a cultivator at Lu Yin's level, it was not difficult to go to the Grand Domain, so why was he still in the Grand Domain and had no plans to leave?
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Yi Shang was waiting for him, and he was looking for a way for Lu Yin to find him. Just like what he had asked Rong Xiang, Yi Shang was also looking for clues.
There was no such thing as guarding against a thief for a thousand days. Yi Shang was not confident that he would be able to immediately react and escape if Lu Yin suddenly attacked, and he could not keep the wooden wing in his hand. That would expose the turbid treasure.
The only thing Yi Shang could do was to avoid being found by Lu Yin and find out how Lu Yin had found him.
Yi Shang had deliberately exposed his tracks to attract Lu Yin's attention, waiting to see how long it would take for Lu Yin to find him and how he would attack. This was Yi Shang's initiative. At this time, the wooden wing would definitely be in his hand, waiting for Lu Yin.
As soon as Lu Yin made a move, Yi Shang would be able to escape. To Yi Shang, all Yi Shang had to do was reveal himself, but to Lu Yin, every time he searched for Yi Shang, he would have to expend a large amount of his consciousness. The gains did not make up for the losses.
Unless Lu Yin could catch Yi Shang in one fell swoop.
Lu Yin remained where he was, deep in thought. Could he catch Yi Shang?
That was impossible. He did not know how to use the turbid treasure, whether or not he had to hold it in his hand. He could not even get close to Yi Shang. After all, Yi Shang was a powerhouse who had survived the Bitter Adversity, and he would have at least an instant to react to any kind of attack.
The only way he could make use of that consciousness lifeform was to attack him from behind. However, he only had one chance to use this move. If he failed, not only would he never have another chance, but Yi Shang would also suspect that Lu Yin was able to make that astral beast work for him. That astral beast had followed Yi Shang for far too long, and Lu Yin had not even been born at that time. The only way to make that astral beast work for him was to control it.
For a powerhouse who had survived the Bitter Adversity, it was not difficult to think of a certain possibility. It was just like how Eternity could have thought of it, but once it was thought of, the fact that Lu Yin had merged with a consciousness lifeform would be exposed.
Lu Yin rubbed his head. How good would it be if Yi Shang was not a powerhouse who had survived the Bitter Adversity?
Lu Yin's thoughts were correct. Yi Shang did not plan on leaving the Grand Universal Domain, and he was waiting for Lu Yin there. Of course, only Rong Xiang knew of his whereabouts.
Since he wanted to find out how Lu Yin had found him, he naturally could not let others know of his whereabouts.
At the same time, he was also apprehensive. His strength allowed him to react to Lu Yin's sneak attack for a split second, but he did not have the confidence to face a true sneak attack from a powerhouse like Lu Yin. However, this was a risk that he had to take.
The Chamber of Commerce had opened a bet on the battle between Lu Yin and Wuhuang. There were all sorts of bets, such as who would make the first move, what the first move would be, what the second move would be, and who would be defeated by the opponent's strength. There were dozens of bets, and all sorts of strange things.
