The fatty felt that Lu Yin was unfathomable and became even more fearful. "The Silin Sword Sect is about to compete for the Sword Head. I want to join in the fun."
"Great, I want to go too. Let's go."
"Did you come because you know I'm going to the Silin Region?"
"Can't I?"
"Yes, can I not go?"
"Fatty, you're provoking me."
"I don't dare. I'm going now."
The beast carriage sped up and shuttled through the starry sky toward the Silin Region.
Instead of saying that the Mother Tree supported the heavens and earth, it was more accurate to say that it supported the universe's starry sky. Stars rotated in the sky, and the universe was desolate. The earth and the sky bordered, and the moonlight fell. At the same time, it was accompanied by dazzling sunlight. The entire starry sky had a blue-green background, like a painting of the heavens.
Lu Yin pulled the curtain aside and looked outside. He took a deep breath and stretched. This was the Nine Firmaments Universe, and it had finally arrived. Streaks of light shuttled through the sky like rainbow-colored galaxies. It was beautiful, and it was hard to imagine that the Nine Firmaments Universe had been plundering spiritualized universes all this time.
The fatty in front of him and the people beside the lake mostly cultivated by releasing their spirit seeds, not their true bodies. They had a second life.
And this second life was built on the basis that the spiritualized universe had been plundered.
This was a heavy thought, but Lu Yin didn't expect to see the Azure Lotus Empire first. Inexplicably, he looked forward to it. Perhaps it wasn't as difficult as he thought.
It would take a month to travel from the previous place to the Silin Region with the beast carriage's speed. It had to be said that the Ninth Heaven Universe was very big, far bigger than the spiritualized universe and the Tianyuan Universe. This could be seen from the Mother Tree.
The beast carriage wasn't slow.
A few days later, Lu Yin leaned on the beast carriage and looked at the horizon. He asked faintly, "Fatty, what's your name?"
The fatty replied, "Si Jiushi."
Lu Yin looked at him. "Good name, it suits you."
The fatty smiled. "Senior, what's your name?"
"Call me Seventh Brother."
The fatty's face twitched. "Yes, Seventh Brother."
"You're going to the Silin Region to watch the fun?"
"Indeed, the Si Lin Region collects sword techniques and cultivates them with sword intent. In the end, the Si Lin Region fuses together to form a Sword Chief. The Si Lin Region's Sword Chief is one of the strongest cultivators in the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Seeing the Si Lin Region's Sword Chief is beneficial for me. Maybe I can learn something from it."
"What does the birth of the Silin Sword Head have to do with you? One uses the sword, the other uses the palm. What do you want to comprehend? I can teach you."
Fatty blinked. "Senior, teach me?"
Lu Yin smiled. "The Great Five Palms."
The fatty's expression changed slightly, and his tone became harsher. "Senior, please don't joke around. The Great Five Palm Art is the ultimate technique of my Great Five Palm Sect. How could Senior know it?"
The members of the Great Five Palaces were not afraid of anyone. Even if the fatty couldn't defeat Lu Yin, he could compromise, but he would never allow Lu Yin to humiliate him. This was the temperament of the Great Five Palaces. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to nurture so many lawless freaks who wanted to challenge the Divine Defense.
Lu Yin did not argue, "If I say I know, then I know. If you want to learn, you can beg me, and I'll teach you. Consider it my reward for becoming a road sign."
Road signs?
The fatty didn't understand, but he didn't reply. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to restrain himself from cursing.
The beast carriage passed through the land and sky, and from time to time, strange beasts would appear and travel through space.
During this half a month, Lu Yin saw many beasts. Was this Ninefirmaments Universe adept at controlling astral beasts? Was it the same as the former Above Heaven?
On this day, a thunderous sound rang out.
Beneath the ground, the sound of a bell rang out, followed by a loud laugh, "My son is valiant, fighting against a strong enemy. He has the potential to become a Junior Minister. This old man is grateful to the heavens and earth." As the sound of his voice faded, streams of light scattered in all directions.
Lu Yin raised his hand and caught one of the streams of light, which contained quite a few spirit seeds.
He looked at Si Jiushi.
Si Jiushi explained, "Some people are willing to be grateful to the heavens and hope to gain the favor of the Heavenly Dao so that their child can live a smooth life."
"The Azure Lotus Protector's path of karma has influenced generations of people in the universe. Everyone believes that there is a cause for an effect. Today's gratitude will definitely be reaped tomorrow."
Lu Yin casually put away the spirit seeds. "Interesting."
"With your current strength at such a young age, did the Five Great Sects thank the heavens?"
Si Jiushi disdainfully said, "We're all fighting against the heavens. Whoever dominates the heavens and earth is our target. There's no need to be grateful."
Lu Yin laughed. "So you want to be chosen by the Azure Lotus Protector as well?"
Si Jiushi was speechless.
"If the children below can be thanked by the heavens, then the geniuses of the Junior Imperial Pavilion should be blessed by the entire Nine Firmaments," Lu Yin said.
Si Jiushi said, "The geniuses of the Junior Imperial Pavilion are the true geniuses. They're extremely rare since ancient times, and there's only one every few generations. If they really want to thank the heavens, then it's too grand. I remember that the Luo Family of Elysium produced Luo Ning, and the scale of their gratitude shook the entire Nine Firmaments."
Lu Yin asked, "There's someone called Qian Shu who's also sleeping in the Junior Imperial Pavilion, right?"
Si Jiushi nodded. "Yes, there's someone like that from the Spring and Autumn Slip."
"Tell me."
"Senior, do you want to know more about Qian Shu or the Spring and Autumn Slip?"
"Both."
Si Jiushi hesitated. "I don't know about Qian Shu, I can only tell you about the Spring and Autumn Slip."
"In the Continent of the Nine Firmaments, there aren't many groups that are qualified to be called influential groups. The Five Great Sects are one of them, the Luo Family of Elysium and the Spring and Autumn Slip are also one of them. The Spring and Autumn Slip is a moving bamboo slip. It doesn't stay in a fixed position, it floats in the Continent of the Nine Firmaments.
Lu Yin was surprised. "A Turbid Treasure?"
Si Jiushi nodded. "A Turbid Treasure from another universe. It's from the Sixth Night Pillar. Back then, the ancestor of the Spring and Autumn Slip wanted to take it away, but he had a falling out with the Sixth Night Pillar. Whether it's worth it or not, it's a matter of opinion. The Spring and Autumn Slip has nurtured generations of cultivators, and it has become one of the most influential groups in the Continent of the Nine Firmaments. But if you don't steal the Spring and Autumn Slip, the first ancestor of the Spring and Autumn Slip left it in the Sixth Night Pillar to nurture the younger generation.
"But the Spring and Autumn Slip's cultivation method is unique, it's written with a brush …"
Lu Yin looked outside and listened to Si Jiushi's words with a solemn expression.
He had never heard of the Sixth Night Pillar or the war in another universe.
Ru Guo hadn't told him about this, and the cultivators he had captured in the Continent of the Nine Firmaments hadn't mentioned it either. It was just common knowledge. Maybe it was because Lu Yin stood at such a high position that they didn't need to know about some things.
Indeed, with Lu Yin's strength, if he joined the Continent of the Nine Firmaments, he would be able to become a Lesser God of Defense. Even if he didn't become a Lesser God of Defense, he would definitely be qualified.
Very few people like that were worthy of Ru Guo's attention. In Ru Guo's words, there were some groups that you didn't need to know about. You only needed to know a small number of people.
But Lu Yin wasn't alone. He had Tian Yuan behind him, and he was fighting for Tian Yuan's survival. Ru Guo had never thought that Lu Yin wanted to become a Lesser God of Defense.
He had fought for the position of the God of Defense, but he had never imagined that there would be a day when he would have to fulfill all seven conditions.
What Lu Yin cared about the most was the war in another universe. As he listened to Si Jiushi's words, he gradually gained a better understanding of the Continent of the Nine Firmaments.
He had originally thought that the spiritualized universe and the consciousness universe were the outer universes, but now it seemed that the Continent of the Nine Firmaments had always treated the three universes as a single entity. It was just that the Tian Yuan Universe didn't know that this so-called outer universe was the universe outside of the Nine Firmaments and the three universes.
The spiritualized universe's greatest springboard was that they were afraid of being discovered by other civilizations and attracting powerful enemies.
They didn't know that the Continent of the Nine Firmaments was a powerful enemy that they didn't want to be discovered.
Si Jiushi introduced the Spring and Autumn Scroll, but the relationship between the scroll and the Sixth Night Pillar had led him to the topic of the outer universe. Lu Yin hadn't taken the initiative to ask about this topic, so he hadn't realized that Lu Yin wasn't from the Continent of the Nine Firmaments. Of course, the most important reason was that Lu Yin's aura didn't belong to the outer universe.
Lu Yin had broken all common sense, so Si Jiushi hadn't thought about that.
"In short, the people in the Spring and Autumn Scroll are all hypocritical and ruthless. Don't be fooled by how much they boast about how much ink they have. They look like talented people who are open and aboveboard, but they're actually sinister."
Si Jiushi loathed the Spring and Autumn Scroll, and his words were filled with insults. When he saw that Lu Yin didn't seem to mind, he cursed even more harshly.
"How does the Spring and Autumn Scroll compare to your Five Palm Sect?" Lu Yin asked.
Si Jiushi disdainfully replied, "How can a bunch of weak chickens compare to my Five Palm Sect? My Five Palm Sect has challenged the Guardian Deity before, and the people in the Spring and Autumn Scroll only know how to rely on connections to rely on the Guardian Deity. It's a pity that the Junior Defense Tower, where Qian Shu is hibernating, gave them something to brag about. Otherwise, hmph."
Lu Yin glanced at Si Jiushi. He could only trust 70% of his words.
Was the Spring and Autumn Scroll really no match for the Five Palm Sect?
Not necessarily.
"What about the Nine Foot Garden?
So what? "
Si Jiushi replied, "It's alright. They're considered quite powerful. Of course, they can't compare to our Five Palm Sect. Even the Spring and Autumn Scroll is stronger than them, but no one wants to offend them. After all, the Nine Foot Garden is backed by the Guardian Deity of Moon Cliff. However, the Guardian Deity of Moon Cliff has been stripped of his position as Divine Defender, so the Nine Foot Garden's days won't be easy."
Lu Yin asked, "What's the situation with the Nine Foot Garden now?"
Si Jiushi shook his head, "I don't know. It's too far away, so I didn't ask around."
Lu Yin frowned. According to Chao Yi, the Nine Foot Garden had been wiped out. How could Si Jiushi not know?
Was it too far away?
For powerful cultivators, distance was not a problem, unless news of the Nine Foot Garden had been sealed off.
"So what if it's Deadhill?"
Si Jiushi was puzzled, "Was Seventh Brother in seclusion all year round?
You don't even know about Deadhill? "
Lu Yin casually replied, "I've only interacted with Chao Yi, but we've only exchanged a few words. I don't know much about him."
Si Jiushi was shocked, "Chao Yi, the master of Deadhill's Sixth Peak?
Seventh Brother has interacted with him? "
"We've only exchanged a few words."
"You're not familiar with him?"
"Nope."
"I knew it. The people of Deadhill are as cold as ice, and they don't even smile when facing the Guardian Deity. However, Deadhill cannot be offended. It's a power independent of Yu Jiuxiao and Eternity Sky, and it's directly under the Guardian Deity of Nine Heavens. However, I don't know which Guardian Deity oversees it."
Yu Jiuxiao?
Eternity Sky?
Another unfamiliar name, but Lu Yin committed it to memory and didn't ask any further questions.
