Time passed, and Lu Yin spoke with Si Jiushi from time to time, trying to learn more about the Nine Firmaments Universe. However, he didn't ask too many questions.
In less than ten days, they would arrive at the Four Approaches Region.
One day, the road ahead was sealed, and Si Jiushi walked out of the carriage. "What's going on?
Why is the road sealed?
The mountain range is blocking the road ahead. We'll have to take a detour, and it'll take us at least half a day. "
There was a branch hanging down from the Mother Tree in front of them, and it was connected to another branch. It looked like a mountain range, and the only way to get past it was to go around it or down it. However, no matter which way they went, it would take them some time, even if it wasn't much.
"Please take a detour, Your Excellency. The road ahead is dangerous, and we're doing this for Your Excellency's safety …"
Lu Yin sat in the carriage and looked outside, listening to the conversation between Si Jiushi and the others.
Soon, Si Jiushi entered the carriage. "Seventh Bro, should we charge through or take a detour?"
"Why is the road sealed?" Lu Yin asked.
Si Jiushi replied, "They didn't say, but they don't seem to be very powerful. With Seventh Bro's strength, you should be able to deal with them easily. However, without Seventh Bro, I'll have to take a detour."
"The mountain range ahead belongs to the Yan Clan. Someone is probably trying to steal their fate scab."
Lu Yin raised a brow. "Fate scab?"
Si Jiushi nodded. "Yes, those few." He suddenly paused and looked at Lu Yin. "Seventh Bro, do you know anything about fate scabs?"
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Si Jiushi's face twitched as he replayed the conversation in his mind. He instantly figured out something. Damn, this person isn't from the Nine Firmaments Universe?
But that can't be right. Why can't I sense his aura?
There was silence.
"What's fate scab?" Lu Yin knew that he had been exposed, so he asked directly.
Si Jiushi looked at Lu Yin deeply and said, "Legend has it that the Azure Lotus cultivates a karmic phenomenon that covers the entire Nine Firmaments Universe. We believe in karma and are grateful to the heavens, but in reality, we want to be favored by the Azure Lotus.
"From time to time, the Karma Celestial Phenomenon will produce something similar to a fruit. I don't know how it is produced, but it comes from the Karma Celestial Phenomenon. Anyone who has this fruit can go to the Sea of Karma to undergo a test. If they pass the test, they can become a Blue Lotus Upper Imperial Disciple."
"Since ancient times, many people have gone to the Sea of Karma with the help of Karma Scabs. There are many nominal disciples of the Azure Lotus Shangyu. Some have achieved success in their cultivation, while others have died. There are not many left now."
"As for how to pass the test, not only does it depend on one's own ability, the most important factor is fate. The Azure Lotus Ruler is all about fate."
"In this era, the word 'fate' falls on women. Therefore, in the past hundred years, there have only been seven women who passed the test with the word 'fate'. We all call them the Seven Fairies."
Lu Yin looked up at the sky. So that's how it was. The Seven Fairies were the seven girls who had only accepted girls as disciples for the past hundred years. This Azure Lotus Supremacy was truly capricious and generous, directly marrying off the Seven Fairies to Lu Yin. What was he planning?
Just because of the word 'fate'?
Si Jiushi said, "Rumor has it that in the next hundred years, the word 'fate' falls on men. Coincidentally, half a year ago, more Karma Scabs fell from the heavens than before. No one knows why, but with so many Karma Scabs falling, it's only natural that people would fight over them. The Yan Clan lost a Karma Scab and brought disaster upon themselves."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. "Half a year ago?
When exactly was it? "
Si Jiushi tried to recall the exact time.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. It was the day he fell into the Sea of Karma Lotus Pond. Were the Karma Scabs and the Sea of Karma Lotus Pond related?
No matter how much Lu Yin didn't want to admit it.
He also felt that he had guessed the truth.
He had borrowed the Brightsun Beast's palm to go to the Ninth Heaven Universe, but on the way, the Azure Lotus Supremacy had interfered with him, causing him to fall into the lotus pond.
Why?
When did the Azure Lotus Supremacy start to target him?
Spiritualized the universe to comprehend the Way of Karma?
Or the bricks?
Or the creation of karma?
Lu Yin fell into deep thought. He didn't know if being targeted by the Azure Lotus Supremacy was a good thing or a bad thing. At present, the Azure Lotus Supremacy didn't seem to have any malicious intent towards him. However, he was from the Tianyuan Universe and wanted to lure an Eternal Realm monster to the Ninth Heaven. Did the Azure Lotus Supremacy really not care?
A moment later, there was a rush from outside the carriage. The people who had sealed the road were driving them away.
Lu Yin glanced at Si Jiushi. "Let's go."
Si Jiushi said to the outside, "Take a detour to the right."
"Go straight."
Si Jiushi looked at Lu Yin in surprise. "Break through?"
Lu Yin looked outside the carriage and lifted the curtain. In front of the Void Mountain Range, a group of cultivators stared at them. "I'm a very upright person. I don't like to take detours."
Si Jiushi blinked. There was something wrong with this statement.
The middle-aged man driving the carriage was troubled and looked at Si Jiushi.
Si Jiushi said, "Seventh Bro, if we go straight, we'll run into them. I'm alone."
"The people of the Five Great Gates fear nothing. You're about to challenge the Imperial God, so why would you care about these small fries?" Lu Yin asked.
Si Jiushi was helpless. "That's in the future. I'm only a Progenitor now. I can't beat them."
The realms of the Ninefirmaments Universe were the same as the spiritualized and Tian Yuan universes. They all had Progenitors, Sequence Laws, Primordial Realms, and Bitter Adversity Realms. It seemed that the Tian Yuan Universe had not interacted with the spiritualized and Ninefirmaments Universes, but it was actually affected by them. The Progenitor had only passed down his cultivation path to the Tian Yuan Universe. He did not know when he had been affected by the Ninefirmaments Universe.
According to the timeline, when the Progenitor had cultivated in the Tian Yuan Universe, the Ninefirmaments Universe already had Eternal Realm cultivators.
Lu Yin looked outside and smiled. "Alright, I'll help you."
He then raised his hand and struck out with a palm.
A gentle breeze blew past, causing the curtain to flutter. A palm print shot out from the carriage and grew larger and larger. Then, under the shocked gazes of the cultivators in front, it became as large as the sky and pressed down.
Boom!
A loud sound reverberated through the sky, causing ripples that spread out in all directions.
The middle-aged man driving the carriage gaped as he stared at the mountain range in front of him. Even the mountain range had been struck by a giant palm print, let alone the cultivators. Was that the Five Great Palms?
Immortal Wood's Miracle?
Si Jiushi was just as stunned. He turned his head stiffly and looked at Lu Yin. "The … the Five Great Palms?"
Lu Yin smiled brilliantly. "Yes, didn't you say I knew it?"
Si Jiushi gulped. Although he hadn't personally experienced it, that palm made him think of his uncle-masters. That destructive power, that unshakable aura … Was this person in the Primordial Realm?
Was he close to crossing the Bitter Adversity?
"Let's go to the Yan Family," Lu Yin said. Without waiting for Si Jiushi's orders, the middle-aged man hurriedly drove the carriage.
Lu Yin looked at the mountain range in front of him. The giant palm print was incomparably clear, and he could see it even from outer space. This palm print was not weak, but it was not the Five Great Palms.
He had experienced Yue Ya's Five Great Palms before, so he knew what it felt like. It could be simulated, but the true Five Great Palms had the ability to strip and banish. No matter how one fled, they would all be within a single palm print. That palm was like the heavens. Lu Yin had not learned it, nor did he plan on learning it.
It was just like the Nine Feet Heaven Defying Technique. Although it seemed like a powerful battle technique, as long as it wasn't invincible, it would be useless.
Since he was invincible, there was no need to waste time learning it. There were many powerful battle techniques in the world.
This palm print was for outsiders to see.
Si Jiushi looked at the giant palm print on the mountain range and finally reacted. He stared at Lu Yin in a daze. "Seventh Bro, this palm print …?"
"It's very domineering, isn't it?"
"Yes, but this palm print."
"You want to learn it?
Beg me. "
"This is the Five Great Palms. Others will think that it was the Five Great Palms."
Lu Yin looked at him. "Isn't it?"
Si Jiushi was speechless. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't. The Five Great Palms had to take the blame for this.
This person was clearly so powerful, so why did the Five Great Palms have to take the blame?
At the same time, on the mountain range, many cultivators were frightened by the palm print. The cultivators who had surrounded the Yan Family had come from all over the world, and they had attacked each other without any cooperation. Otherwise, the Yan Family wouldn't have been able to last until now.
Lu Yin's palm print caused everyone to stop. They stared at the sky in shock.
"It's the Five Great Palms. Those lunatics are here."
"Although the Five Great Palms are arrogant, they don't rob people. What's going on?"
"Could it be the Yan Family's helpers?"
"Impossible. Who dares to have anything to do with the Five Great Palms? They're courting death."
In the Yan Family's territory, a group of cultivators looked at each other, equally confused. The leader was an old man and his expression was ugly. "The Five Great Palms won't rob us of Yuan Shi, but they did. Who has anything to do with this?"
The cultivators of the Yan Family shook their heads.
The old man looked at each of them and his face darkened. "I'm warning you, don't have any dealings with the Five Great Palms. Although the Yan Family is in trouble, if we can't hold on, we can just hand over Yuan Shi. But if we have anything to do with the Five Great Palms, we're finished. Those lunatics have offended too many people and they don't care about the Defense of Gods. Any one of them is someone we can't afford to offend. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, Patriarch."
"Patriarch, this has nothing to do with us."
"…"
While they were waiting, the beast carriage arrived.
Everyone looked up and saw the carriage stop. The curtains were lifted and Si Jiushi walked out. He didn't look too good.
Everyone looked at Si Jiushi, but they weren't too surprised. They had seen many strange creatures in the Ninth Heaven Universe, even though Si Jiushi looked very strange among the humans.
"Yan Family, give me your Yuan Shi. I'll help you share the danger," Si Jiushi said loudly.
The cultivators who were attacking the Yan Family had ugly expressions. The old man gritted his teeth and bowed slightly. "May I ask which member of the Five Great Palms you are?"
Si Jiushi rolled his eyes. "Cut the crap. Just give it to me. Otherwise, the Yan Family will be in trouble today. I don't think you can stop these guys. I'm helping you."
He didn't want to come out, but Lu Yin had forced him to. He had no choice but to come out and ask for Yuan Shi.
The Five Great Palms had never robbed anyone, and this was the first time they had done so. If they had only been forced, Si Jiushi would rather die than submit. But Lu Yin had said that if he didn't submit, he would be slapped everywhere he went. He was sure to bring many "friends" to the Five Great Palms.
Si Jiushi had never met someone so despicable as Lu Yin to force him out.
The old man from the Yan Family rubbed his cosmic ring. It was great news that Yuan Shi was with the Yan Family, but he didn't know who had leaked it.
