There was a place for fishing on the giant ship. Lu Yin was led by the supervisor to a place called the Leaping Dragon Platform. This was the place where fishing was done.
The Astral River Ark had only been in the Outerverse for a short period of time, so not many people had boarded it, and there was not a single person at the Leaping Dragon Terrace.
It was not easy to fish on the ark, and one had to have a high status. Of course, the most important thing was one's strength. Every year, there were many powerhouses who were dragged into the Astral River and died.
Lu Yin put on his fishing gear and casually tossed his fishing line into the Astral River. There was no need for bait to fish in the Astral River, as a person's star energy was the best bait. The fish here ate people.
The moment the fishing line entered the Astral River, Lu Yin felt his hand tremble, and he almost lost his grip on the fishing rod. The Astral River was turbulent and vast, and it was filled with an indescribably boundless liquid energy. There was not only star energy, but also all sorts of energy. Some of these energies could seriously injure or even kill a fisherman if they passed through the fishing line.
Lu Yin was very strong, even stronger than Lulu and Grandini. Even so, he almost lost his grip on the fishing rod, which was a testament to the mighty force of the Astral River. He was only fishing, and he did not touch it directly.
In a luxurious lounge on the ark, Old Gu De brought his son, Gu Er, and many other experts on the ark to watch the Leaping Dragon Terrace.
"He's actually holding it steady. No wonder he's the strongest student in the Astral Combat Academy and a true Ten Arbiters candidate," someone praised.
"Normal Explorers can't even hold the fishing rod steady. Now, let's see how long he can last."
"It shouldn't be long. As Cruisers, we can only last for ten hours at most. This Lu Yin, I think he'll be lucky if he can last for an hour."
"That's about it, and that's under the premise that nothing unexpected happens. If he really catches something, he'll easily be dragged into the Astral River."
"Sir, should we send someone to protect him?"
Old Gu De looked at Lu Yin and then at Gu Er. "How's your relationship with him?"
Gu Er wanted to say that it was alright and that there was no major conflict between them, but he suddenly remembered that Lu Yin had killed him in the trial zones. He recalled what Lu Yin had said at that time, and his expression changed. He had almost forgotten that Lu Yin had said that he would kill his father on the Astral River Ark. He immediately told Old Gu De about this matter.
Old Gu De frowned. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Gu Er replied bitterly, "I forgot."
Old Gu De snorted coldly and looked at the Leaping Dragon Platform coldly. Did they have a grudge against each other?
Perhaps, as he had offended too many people over the years as an Astral River Flowzone Envoy, and Lu Yin was one of his enemies. "Don't worry about him. Keep an eye on him at all times. He can't blame anyone if he dies."
The people around him immediately responded.
Actually, Lu Yin had already forgotten what he had said when he had killed Gu Er. Otherwise, he would not have gone fishing, as doing so would have been tantamount to sending himself to the brink of death. Of course, he did not plan to actually go fishing; he just wanted to experience it.
Ten minutes later, Lu Yin suddenly put away his fishing gear and stopped fishing. Under the watchman's stunned gaze, Lu Yin tossed all his fishing gear to him.
The supervisor was speechless. It had only been ten minutes. What was going on?
Lu Yin was not someone who did not know his own limits. From the moment that the fishing line had entered the Astral River, he knew that he could not fish with his current strength. It was very easy for him to encounter danger, so he just needed to get a feel for it.
Gu Er also learned that Lu Yin had stopped fishing, and he gritted his teeth in anger. When he remembered that Lu Yin had a grudge with them, his attitude changed. He wanted nothing more than for Lu Yin to die here, but Lu Yin's status was too special, and he could not touch him. He had originally thought that he would be able to finish this guy off by fishing, but he had not expected that he would only fish for ten minutes. It was too disgusting.
"Seventh Bro, Mingzhi, the Astral River is not something that you can come into contact with right now," the monkey said.
Lu Yin returned to his personal spacecraft, as this was the only place where he felt safe. After all, Old Gu De was right next to him, and the old man was a Hunter. Lu Yin was afraid that if he suppressed his killing intent, Old Gu De would attack him. This spacecraft could withstand a Hunter's attack, and it gave him a sense of security.
"Monkey, when do you think I'll be able to come into contact with the Astral River?" Lu Yin asked out of boredom.
The monkey thought about it. "At least become an Explorer. With your freakish strength, you'll be able to crush a normal Cruiser when you become an Explorer. At that time, you'll have some ability to protect yourself against the Astral River."
"But Ye Xingchen was able to roam the Cosmic Sea. Compared to him, he's still far from being able to do that," Lu Yin said.
The monkey disdainfully replied, "Nonsense, that's impossible. Even the Ten Arbiters couldn't roam the Cosmic Sea as a Limiteer, let alone him. There must be a reason why he's able to roam the Cosmic Sea, and it's just that we don't know about it."
Lu Yin thought about it and agreed. He was on the same level as Ye Xingchen, but he still wouldn't be able to protect himself against the Astral River. How could that person be able to protect himself in the Cosmic Sea? It could only be because of some special reason.
It was a pity that he couldn't contact his family on his own. Otherwise, he would have asked them and wondered how Big Sis and the others were doing in Leon's Armada.
In the depths of the distant heavens, the Cosmic Sea roared as usual as it devoured countless lives.
The Cosmic Sea, which was originally filled with killing intent, should have been silent, just like a forbidden land. However, in a dark strait, laughter could be heard.
"Big Sis, congratulations on annihilating the Celestial Wolf Battalion. You've done the family a great service."
"Congratulations, Big Sis."
"Congratulations, Big Sis."
…
With a bang, a shockwave swept out in all directions and smoothed out the whistling strait. This part of the Cosmic Sea didn't even dare to stir up. "Guys, bring some wine."
"Captain, don't drink anymore. If you drink too much, you'll beat someone up."
"That's right, Captain. You can't drink."
…
"Shut up and drink." A huge voice tore through the void, splitting the strait in half.
At the corner of the deck, Ghost looked at the strait that was being suppressed by Highsage Leon with a complicated expression.
"Thinking about Little Seven?"
A pleasant voice came from behind her. Ghost turned around and narrowed her eyes. "Big Sis, your appearance has changed again."
An extremely beautiful woman appeared before Ghost's eyes. She was sexy and charming, and she should have been a stunner. However, she had a bucket-like waist, which was a stark contrast to her beautiful appearance.
"So what if I change? It doesn't matter. Changing so many times in one day is so annoying."
Ghost smiled bitterly. "There's nothing I can do about it. Who told you to cultivate the wrong technique? Your appearance keeps changing. It'd be strange if you didn't change one day."
"Are you thinking about Little Seven?" Big Sis took a sip of wine and asked.
Spectre nodded. "Little Seven didn't receive any help from his family, and he was able to reach his current position all by himself. He has faced countless enemies." Spectre then looked at Big Sis. "Let's bring Little Seven back, or we can announce to the public that Little Seven is a member of Leon's Armada."
Big Sis took a sip of wine. "No."
"Why?"
Ghost was puzzled. "Back then, we couldn't protect ourselves, so we sent Little Seven to Earth. Although it was to prepare for the Great Yu Empire, it was more to ensure Little Seven's safety. Now that we've returned to Leon's Armada and the captain has acknowledged Little Seven, why can't we announce it to the public?"
Big Sis grinned. "Little Seven's identity can't be linked to Highsage Leon. He's not reliable, but I'm different. I won't let Little Seven have the stain of being a pirate."
Ghost was speechless. "Big Sis, don't say that. Back then, you guys had a falling out because of the captain's identity. Don't mention the word 'pirate' anymore."
Big Sis spat out all the wine in her mouth. "Pirates only seek short-term benefits, but their long-term path is blocked. That old fellow is narrow-minded. I won't let Little Seven repeat this path." She then turned and left.
The surface of the strait was in an uproar, and Ghost was flustered. She knew that Highsage Leon had heard Big Sis's words. Fortunately, they hadn't quarreled, or else she might have been banished again.
It seemed that Big Sis was still angry that Highsage Leon had sent pirates to help Little Seven. This matter could easily expose Little Seven's relationship with the pirates, and Ghost had been a part of it.
The Astral River Ark took a day and a half to travel through the Astral River. During this time, the supervisor didn't appear again, but Lu Yin didn't mind.
When the ark connected to the edge of the Innerverse's Astral River, Lu Yin sat in his personal spacecraft and set a course to fly into outer space towards Northline Flowzone.
It wasn't that Old Gu De hadn't thought of getting rid of Lu Yin, but the danger was too great and Lu Yin's identity was too sensitive. He could only watch as Lu Yin left.
After entering the Innerverse, Lu Yin immediately arrived at the Blazing Mist Flowzone, which wasn't too far from Northline Flowzone.
He hadn't been able to sense it the last time he had been on a border spacecraft, but now, he noticed that the Blazing Mist Flowzone's temperature was much higher than the Outerverse's. He didn't know if this was because of the difference between the Innerverse and the Outerverse or because of the Blaze Realm.
There were still many spacecraft around when Lu Yin left the Astral River, but he overtook them one by one. His spacecraft was too fast, and many were stunned by the sight.
Not long after, Lu Yin's spacecraft disappeared into the depths of space.
According to his current position, he wasn't too far away from the tributary where the Blazing Mist Flowzone and Northline Flowzone intersected. If he wanted to pass through the tributary, he would have to take a giant ark. Although it was much smaller than the Astral River Ark, it was still much larger than a super-large spacecraft.
Although there weren't many giant arks in the tributary, Lu Yin could find out where the arks were through the network, which made it easier to plan his route.
According to his calculations, he would reach the border of the tributary in about five hours. In another two hours, a giant ark would appear, and he would be able to cross the tributary and reach Northline Flowzone.
The time he had taken was about as expected.
If not for his special status, Lu Yin would still be wandering around the Outerverse, and he didn't even know when he would be able to enter the Innerverse.
In the direction that Lu Yin was heading, there was an old man on a star. He suddenly raised his head, but the burning star didn't harm him at all. "I've finally arrived. Undying Yushan crippled my limbs, so I'll use this junior's life to pay for it."
Lu Yin sat in his personal spacecraft and silently recited the Stonewall Scriptures while thinking about what he needed to do in Northline Flowzone. Actually, there shouldn't be much to do. All he needed to do was witness the Northgate Platform Competition, which didn't have much to do with him.
There was also San Dios, the Great Yu Empire, and so on. The more he thought about it, the more Lu Yin felt that there were many other things that he needed to do, and he couldn't afford to waste any time in Northline Flowzone.
Suddenly, his heartbeat quickened, and he felt as if a terrifying danger was about to descend. Beep beep beep beep! The spacecraft suddenly sounded an intense alarm, and in the next moment, there was a flash of brilliance in the distance as a star was destroyed. What followed was an incomparably large hand that grabbed at him from outer space.
