"Many of the forbidden books in the consciousness universe were created at the cost of our lives. To them, this is not a huge price to pay. What we can do is to avoid all the broken worlds. This is the smallest price we can think of. Other than that, there's no other way …" Yi Shang explained a lot, afraid that Lu Yin would not believe him.
Lu Yin could guess the reason even without Yi Shang's explanation. Besides, if the spiritualized universe knew about the forbidden books of the consciousness lifeforms, then the consciousness lifeforms would also know about the spiritualized universe.
The spiritualized universe did not have anything like that.
Even if it did, there was no value in hiding it. In any case, it would not be as valuable as the forbidden books.
Every universe had its own advantages and disadvantages. No matter how strong the spiritualized universe was, it would still be at a disadvantage in the consciousness universe. This was also the key reason why the consciousness universe had been able to survive until now.
Fortunately, Lu Yin understood the consciousness universe. Even if Limitless did not travel with the spiritualized universe's battleships, as long as they were lucky, there would not be any problems.
Ten years passed quickly.
When Lu Yin and the others saw the door in the distance, they knew that they had arrived at the consciousness universe.
He was curious; why did every universe have a door?
They all seemed to have been built by the spiritualized universe, which reminded him of the Ninth Spirit's power. Could that door have something to do with it?
Yi Shang heard Lu Yin's doubts and said, "I haven't really thought about it."
To him, this was common knowledge for spiritualized universes, just like how spirit threads connected the thirty-six filaments. There was no need to ask the reason.
Only an outsider like Lu Yin would find it strange.
It was one thing for the spiritualized universe to have a door in their own universe, but the Tian Yuan Universe and the consciousness universe also had doors. No matter how he looked at it, something did not seem right.
The door opened, and Limitless rushed to the other side. In an instant, a foreign aura made everyone on Limitless feel refreshed. They had arrived at a third strange universe.
They had gone from the Tian Yuan Universe to the spiritualized universe, and now, they had arrived at the consciousness universe.
On the other side of the door, there were no buildings related to the spiritualized universe. There were only two huge battleships and a group of cultivators.
Lu Yin looked into the distance. One, two, three … eight. There were a total of eight powerful auras. Three of them were Ku Adversity Realm cultivators, while the other five were Spiritual Primes. This was the strongest spiritualized universe in the consciousness universe.
At this moment, Lu Yin finally saw the full extent of the spiritualized universe's overall strength.
Yu Sang Tian had been bestowed by the Nine Firmaments Universe and was in charge of the spiritualized universe. He had reached the peak of the Bitter Disaster Realm. Under him were the seven Great Sang Tians and the three in front of him. There were no less than fifteen experts who had reached the Bitter Disaster Realm. There were also more than thirty Spirit Primes. These experts covered the Gate of Magic and the Myriad Beast Territory. Compared to the Tian Yuan Universe, their numbers were terrifying.
This was the true strength of a spiritualized universe.
The benefit of the unified training model was that it did not waste resources and could produce experts in batches.
Regardless of what the future of the universe was like, the spiritualized universe had indeed weakened the future of the Tian Yuan universe, controlling its development. Otherwise, with the unification of the Above Heavens, the number of experts born in the Tian Yuan universe would definitely be no less than the spiritualized universe. At the very least, the Three Worlds and Six Paths would have nine Tribulation Transcendents experts. Coupled with the heretic experts like the Eternals, the Eternals had the Three Pillars and the Six Seas. Most of them belonged to the Tian Yuan universe, so they would not be embroiled in war for long periods of time. Instead, they would join the Above Heavens to cultivate. There would definitely be a few more Tribulation Transcendents experts, let alone the Primordial realm.
This does not include the Reincarnation Universe, the Three Monarch Universe, and those parallel universes.
Too bad.
It was because they had been suppressed from the very beginning.
Originally, they should have been happy. After seeing the spiritualized universe clearly, they would feel more confident. However, the truth was that the Nine Heavens Universe was an unfathomable monster. Just the Nine Heavens Universe alone had three Eternal Realm experts. It would be difficult to deal with them.
As they thought about this, a battleship arrived from behind. Soon after, battleships arrived one after another. In the end, all seven battleships stopped in front of the gate.
Inside the gate, many spiritualized cultivators who had stayed behind to fight in the Universe of Consciousness were excited. It was finally going to end. They originally thought that only one battleship had arrived, but when they saw that it was Reboot, they knew it was not that simple. In particular, they felt Yu Sang Tian's vague presence on Reboot, which made them even more excited.
There were a total of seven battleships. Wait, how could there be seven?
Weren't there only six space-time battleships?
They looked at Wu Jiang. Where did this battleship come from?
Its size was only second to Reboot, but they had never seen it before.
No one explained it to them.
As the battleships started moving, they all headed in different directions. They did not stay here for long.
Wu Jiang also started moving, and Yu Sang Tian's voice traveled to Lu Yin's ears. "If we move together, we will be too big of a target. This place was previously occupied by sentient lifeforms, and I only cleared them after I arrived. Our target is the Realm of Earth, and I've already given you the location.
"Destroy all sentient lifeforms that see the battleships along the way. As long as we destroy the Realm of Earth, the Universe of Consciousness can be reactivated at any time. I promise you that I will not touch the Tian Yuan Universe, at least as long as it is within my control.
"Also, there is a place in the Realm of Earth called the Heavenly Tower. It is the most ancient place in the Universe of Consciousness, and there might be a stronger way to use consciousness there. If you are interested, you can follow me and search for it."
In just a few short sentences, Yu Sang Tian had used the threat of the Tian Yuan Universe as well as the enticement of the Heavenly Tower. This battle to destroy the Realm of Earth was very important to Yu Sang Tian.
If Wu Jiang wanted to protect the Tian Yuan Universe, he had to perform well in this battle.
Lu Yin was surprised that Yu Sang Tian had actually mentioned the existence of the Heavenly Tower. If he had only been tempted, he could have used other methods, such as allowing Wu Jiang to return to the Tian Yuan Universe. Lu Yin was very clear that this was the greatest temptation for Wu Jiang, and he could have concealed the existence of the Heavenly Tower.
But now, Yu Sang Tian had mentioned the Heavenly Tower. Could it be that the Thirteen Celestial Phenomenon had guessed wrongly?
Did Yu Sang Tian not have any ideas about the Heavenly Tower at all?
No matter what, Wu Jiang would not participate in the battle to destroy the Realm of Earth. Lu Yin knew that this was a trap set for Yu Sang Tian, so how could he throw his life away? However, he wanted to personally witness the battle, both to prevent the Universe of Consciousness from using the same method against him and to confirm the outcome.
Even if Yu Sang Tian could survive this, he would definitely reveal his true strength.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and Wu Jiang headed in a certain direction without speaking to the spiritualized cultivators who had stayed behind.
Ever since Wu Huang and Jiu Xiao had returned to the spiritualized universe to participate in the ritual, these cultivators had closed the door, afraid that they would be surrounded and killed by the 13 Celestials.
This was indeed the case, as Yu Sang Tian had already said that he had only cleared out the spiritualized universe behind the door after arriving. This meant that this place had been occupied by sentient lifeforms, so it was no wonder that Lu Yin could not see any special characteristics of the spiritualized universe.
Perhaps this was also the reason for building this door: it was to allow the spiritualized cultivators in the Universe of Consciousness to have a place to stay.
Something similar had happened in the Tian Yuan Universe before, and Tianci had been hiding behind the door. If not for Lu Yin's superior methods, he would not have been able to do anything to him.
Every battleship
Every battleship's route was different, but it had been meticulously prepared by Beyond Heaven. There were seven routes, and they were not just simple routes. This was a star chart that had been created by the spiritualized universe after countless years of fighting in the Universe of Consciousness. It was priceless.
Lu Yin did not know the routes of the other battleships, nor did he know if the route that Wu Jiang was taking was safe. Logically speaking, it should be. Yu Sang Tian wanted Wu Jiang to reach the Realm of Earth, and Yu Sang Tian himself had some unknown plans for Lu Yin.
"Broken World!" Someone exclaimed.
Everyone on Wu Jiang's ship looked over.
Not far away, the starry sky was like a flickering shadow. A giant gray plant had pierced through a planet, and it seemed to be absorbing nutrients.
Wu Jiang subconsciously slowed down as he watched this scene.
Old Tao explained, "This is just an ordinary broken world. That plant has power close to that of a spirit warrior, and anyone who has reached that level can ignore it. Almost all the teams in the Universe of Consciousness are led by the Spirit Ancestor, so no one cares about this broken world.
"There are countless broken worlds like this one."
Wu Jiang swept past the broken world and continued forward.
Not long after, they saw another broken world. It was a lake that had appeared out of nowhere, and it was like a silhouette of time that flowed past.
Then, they saw another broken world with dilapidated walls. It had a completely strange architectural style, and there were also strange diagrams and words. Judging from the size of this building, it did not seem like it had been inhabited by humans. It was too big, even bigger than the Tianyuan Universe's small giants. The diagrams on it made people feel uncomfortable and stifled.
Along the way, Old Tao introduced all the broken worlds that they saw. These broken worlds were too close to the borders of the Universe of Consciousness, and he had seen many of them before.
Although broken worlds would expire, this period could be very long or very short.
Old Tao could recognize almost half of the broken worlds around them, but he had either not seen the rest before or had changed.
Along the way, they also saw a small team of spiritualized cultivators in one of the broken worlds. Old Tao scolded them, but he only scolded them on Wu Jiang, and his voice did not spread outside.
Most of the broken worlds were harmless, and many spiritualized cultivators were numb to them, so they often entered them. The broken worlds that Old Tao had been able to recognize were things that Lu Yin could enter as well. These teams' understanding of the broken worlds around them might not be inferior to his.
Lu Yin stood at the bow and released his consciousness to the surroundings. Any consciousness lifeform that saw Wu Jiang would not be able to escape.
The range of his consciousness far exceeded what a consciousness lifeform could see in Wu Jiang, and it was enough to ensure that Wu Jiang approached the Realm of Intent Earth without anyone noticing.
There were many consciousness lifeforms in the Universe of Consciousness.
Lu Yin was like a fish in water, constantly absorbing their consciousnesses. His back was facing everyone, and no one could see the joy in his eyes.
This Universe of Consciousness really could allow his consciousness to transform.
Along the way, Lu Yin saw many broken worlds. Some were filled with slaughter, while others had beautiful scenery. Even the gray color could not stop the beauty.
"Stop. Wait for me." Lu Yin walked out of Wu Jiang and headed in a certain direction.
He recognized his surroundings. In Hua Manyi's memories, there was an entrance to a parallel spacetime, and there were many consciousness lifeforms in that parallel spacetime.
That was where the consciousness lifeforms ambushed spiritualized cultivators.
As long as a spiritualized cultivator unintentionally approached that place, they would be surrounded and killed by the consciousness lifeforms.
