The two of them looked at the young man respectfully.
"I didn't see the end. Was this battle exciting?" the young man asked. He looked at the dark city with only sporadic flashes of light.
With his wealth, he could control the lights of the entire city. He could even control the entire planet. However, the people at the bottom were not restricted. They could not even see the young man's instructions. In their minds, the city's power system had malfunctioned, and the lights had not been extinguished on purpose.
That was unimaginable.
The old salamander sighed. "It was an unparalleled battle. The changes in the Empyrean raised them to the level of Yu Sang Tian. In the entire spiritualized universe, perhaps only Yu Sang Tian and you can participate in this battle."
The young man held the railing with both hands and looked down at the city. "Light up."
With one word, the city lit up again. The neon lights at night illuminated countless people walking in the dark. Those people cheered.
"Extinguish."
With one word, the city fell into darkness.
To them, destroying the planet was a piece of cake. However, the feeling of destroying a planet and conquering a planet were different.
"Is it dazzling?" the young man asked.
Meng Sang Tian and the old salamander looked at the sporadic lights in every corner of the city.
"Dazzling," the old salamander said.
The young man smiled. "When the lights are bright, no one can see them. However, only they can hurt the eyes of those in power. It's not that they don't want to extinguish the lights, but they don't know about it. They don't know about my existence."
"I can decide their life and death with one word, but they can also work together to illuminate those sporadic lights until they hurt me."
"That's how I hurt the Above Heaven Sect back then."
Meng Sang Tian and the old salamander were silent as they listened.
"Sometimes, it's not bad to enjoy the extreme pleasure of ordinary people." The young man opened his arms and took a deep breath. "Stay away from all sentient beings."
Meng Sang Tian and the old salamander were puzzled. "Stay away from all sentient beings?"
The young man looked up at the starry sky. "No sentient beings can get close."
When he saw Lu Yin's consciousness open the Empyrean, he left. There was no suspense in that battle. The scene that he saw made him ponder until now. He thought of a possibility.
Could Lu Yin use his turbid treasure to merge with a sentient being?
He was now certain that Lu Yin would not be able to fuse with a spiritualized cultivator's body. Otherwise, the situation would not have turned out this way. Lu Yin's development in the Tian Yuan Universe had always been able to foresee the future, which was very terrifying. He understood all of his enemies, but this advantage disappeared in the spiritualized universe.
This was especially true since he himself had cultivated with a spirit seed, so he was very clear about the changes in his body. He was certain that Lu Yin would not be able to fuse with the body of a spirit seed cultivator.
What about sentient beings?
He had been observing all this time, and his previous conclusion had been that Lu Yin would not be able to fuse with a consciousness lifeform's body. If that was the case, then any consciousness lifeform that appeared next to Lu Yin would become Lu Yin's spy.
The fewer sentient beings there were, the more he could control the situation.
His Turbid Treasure was really useful.
…
Southbound World, Elder Yu had come looking for him.
The shattered mountain valley had already been restored. Although the Heaven's Hand had been gravely injured and had completely lost the power of the seven major powers, the Ninth Spirit was still holding down the fort in the South Touring World.
"Stupid old man?
What are you doing here? "The Ninth Spirit was curious. She and the Foolish Old Man rarely met alone.
She almost never participated in any disputes in the spiritualized universe.
As for Yu Lao, he always wanted to see everything clearly from behind the scenes, so he rarely went to the front of the stage.
As a result, they had not spoken much for many years.
The Foolish Old Man came to the mountain valley and said helplessly, "I have no choice but to come. I want to speak with Lu Sangtian, and he specifically asked you to accompany him."
The Ninth Spirit sneered. "Are you senile? Do I have to accompany him just because he asked me to?
What do you take me for? "
The Foolish Old Man raised his hand. "Don't be angry. I just have a few words to say. I will leave once I'm done."
The Ninth Spirit was impatient. "Hurry up, I don't have time to deal with you. Yu Sang Tian is focused on destroying the Earth of Will and will not give us much time to rest. I also need to find some good wine. Otherwise, there will be no wine to drink in the Consciousness Universe." She picked up the wine gourd and took a swig.
The Foolish Old Man smiled. He understood the Ninth Spirit very well and did not care what she said. He continued, "When Wu Jiang first arrived, he took in those who violated the rules and provoked Yu Sang Tian. Lu Yin roamed the stars and announced that he would carve words in the Extreme Palace."
"Wait." The Ninth Spirit stopped him and stared at the Foolish Old Man unhappily. "I know all of this. What are you talking about?
Just say it. "
The Foolish Old Man said, "No matter what, you should let me finish. Drink your wine. If it's not enough, the Wisdom Domain has more."
The Ninth Spirit was disdainful. "Keep your wine for yourself. I'm afraid I'll be poisoned to death."
The Foolish Old Man had no choice but to continue. "Lu Yin roamed the stars and passed by the Great Liao Domain. He could not stand a servant being humiliated. He captured the Great Liao Saint and stole the Milky Way..."
"At Ring Sun City, Lord Qi launched a sneak attack. Lu Yin killed his way into the Intent Domain..."
"Just after achieving Sang Tian, he immediately mobilized resources to control the spirit seed and limit the number of cultivators in the spiritualized universe. This is not all..."
...
Listening to the Foolish Old Man slowly narrate Lu Yin's past, the Ninth Spirit continued to drink, rolling her eyes from time to time.
After a while, the Foolish Old Man finally finished. He looked at the Ninth Spirit. "You should understand this person. He will not give up until he reaches his goal. He must have his reasons for finding you. If you have no choice but to speak with him alone in the future, the situation will not be better than if I accompanied you."
The Ninth Spirit put down her wine gourd. "If you've said enough, you may leave. I won't see you out."
The Foolish Old Man's gaze was deep. "Some things are easier for outsiders to see. Since he specifically sought you out, he did not mind my presence. You should know why."
The Ninth Spirit frowned and stared at the Foolish Old Man. "What, are you going to make it clear?"
"You and I are not enemies."
"But we are also not friends."
"He has already seen it clearly. If we continue to feign ignorance, we will only be making fools of ourselves."
The Ninth Spirit gulped down another mouthful of wine, very unhappy. "This guy is so powerful. So troublesome."
The Foolish Old Man smiled bitterly. "If not for this, I would not have come here."
The Ninth Spirit did not want to know the whereabouts of Count of the Wind?
Of course not. She had already gone crazy from wanting to find Count of the Wind. But after so many years of searching, she had become numb and had gained a kind of forbearance.
Lu Yin knew the whereabouts of Count of the Wind, and wanted to use it to exchange for something from the Ninth Spirit. This was normal. The Ninth Spirit could give up anything, but Lu Yin's question could not be answered.
When Lu Yin's question appeared, the Ninth Spirit knew that the possibility of obtaining Count of the Wind through conversation was not high. At that time, even if Lu Yin had not acted, she had wanted to act to find out more about this Tian Yuan Universe expert.
She had not been able to find out more, but she knew that she was not his match. The situation had reached a dead end.
She had been thinking about how to break out of this deadlock.
And now that the Foolish Old Man had come and agreed to talk, it was equivalent to agreeing to Lu Yin's exchange.
Even if she did not say anything, the price would be much lower for her.
Most importantly, the Foolish Old Man was right. Even if she did not say anything, Lu Yin would think of all sorts of ways to make her speak. Looking at this person's actions, there were some things that an expert should not do, but he did it without hesitation. This person was indeed unscrupulous.
The Ninth Spirit shook her wine gourd. "Your wine from the Wisdom Domain. I hope it is not poisonous."
The Foolish Old Man smiled and took out his spirit cloud stone.
Lu Yin tried a few more times, but could not touch the karma. He was still thinking about what to do when the spirit cloud stone vibrated.
He connected.
"It's me."
Lu Yin grunted.
The Foolish Old Man said, "Master Lu, please come to the Wisdom Domain for a chat."
Lu Yin knew that the Ninth Spirit had agreed. The waters of the spiritualized universe had finally been stirred up. He wanted to see what was behind it.
"Alright, wait for me."
At the same time, in the Boat Region, one of the thirty-six domains, dark clouds covered the sky. The atmosphere was stifling.
Huge objects floated in the air. Judging from their silhouettes, they were huge battleships. However, they were only half completed. The originally bustling production site was now desolate. Nearly half of the cultivators were scattered around, looking up from time to time. Some were mocking, some were nervous, and some were waiting for something.
The Boat Region was huge and had many cities. Today, these cities were in chaos. Looting, killing, fighting, and quarreling were happening everywhere. It was a chaotic scene.
In the center of the Boat Region, there was a huge city shaped like a battleship. This was the helm of the Boat Region, where the Boat Family resided.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Boat Family was far more stifling than the outside world.
With a bang, a burly old man smashed a table in anger. His face was red as he roared, "Let's die together with him."
The crowd before him was shocked and did not dare to interrupt.
Zhou Qian was helpless. He stepped forward and said, "Father, if you really can't, why don't we agree?"
The old man was the master of the Boat Region, Zhou Helm. He was also the Second Barbarian Zhou that Old Tao had spoken of.
Hearing Zhou Qian's words, Zhou Helm slapped him. Zhou Qian was already prepared, and retreated as soon as he finished speaking. He just happened to dodge Zhou Helm's slap. A moment's hesitation, and it was too late.
This was the experience he had gained from interacting with Zhou Rui for so many years. After he finished speaking, he should have retreated. Regardless of whether what he said was right or not, it did not hinder Zhou Rui's determination to slap him. That slap was not because what he said was right or wrong, but purely to vent.
Zhou Qian stepped forward and spoke, prepared to let his father vent. Of course, he also wanted to save face, and could not allow himself to be hit. Otherwise, he would be laughed at.
The slap did not hit, but Zhou Helm did not mind. He glared angrily and said, "Unfilial son, stupid. What do you know? Once you agree, the legacy left behind by your ancestors will be snatched away."
Zhou Qian was speechless. The legacy left behind by their ancestors had been snatched away by their bloodline. They were originally the branch family of the branch family, and would never have had a chance.
Zhou Helm looked outside and said, "How many people have stopped now?"
Zhou Qian looked behind him and looked at his son.
The young man did not even dare to raise his head. He knew that it was his turn to be beaten, but he did not have the confidence to avoid that slap. He did not raise his head, and would rather die than raise his head.
Zhou Qian gritted his teeth and glared at the young man. This young man was his son, Zhou Yin.
"Eh?
Unfilial son, did you hear what I said? "Zhou Helm shouted angrily and glared at Zhou Qian.
Zhou Qian's face twitched, "More or less, half."
After speaking, he took a step back. In front of him, a gust of wind blew past. What a familiar feeling. His slap missed again.
