"Have any of you seen a similar stone chest?" Lu Yin asked the people around him.
They looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Have you seen the word 'heaven' or 'slave' anywhere?" Lu Yin asked again.
They still shook their heads.
Lu Siyu and the rest were also confused, indicating that they had not seen it before.
Lu Yin exhaled. It was definitely not just the Spring and Autumn Scroll; it was just one of many. There were many other powers in the entire Ninth Heaven Universe that were related to the mysterious Eternal Realm. Did those powers know about their existence?
There were traces of the mysterious Eternal Realm in the Ninth Heaven Universe and the Tianyuan Universe. What about the spiritualized universe?
The mysterious Eternal Realm was more troublesome than he had thought. It seemed to be using the entire human universe as a chessboard to set up something, not just the Tianyuan Universe.
Eternity had come from the Nine-Firmaments Universe, so Lu Yin wanted to find out what had happened to him there.
Yue Ya obviously knew, but Lu Yin had probed Si Jiushi and Lu Sizhan before, but they did not know.
The darkness behind the Eternal Realm made it impossible for him to see anything behind him, not even an outline. Only a hand had appeared, causing him to suffer a karmic backlash. The Eternal Realm was like a boulder pressing down on Lu Yin's heart, and he did not dare to relax for even a moment.
There were some things that could never be done without reaching the Eternal Realm.
The people from Death Hill had not left for long, and when Ah Zuo informed them of this matter, they passed it on to Longyin. Longyin hurriedly brought the women from the Third Peak back to the mausoleum.
"Where is it?" Longyin's gaze was calm, as if he was not surprised.
Lu Yin took out the stone chest. "You are only allowed to look. You are not allowed to touch it."
Longyin: "??"
The women from the Third Peak looked at the cultivation spirit in the stone chest. They were not greedy, but rather relieved. They had finally proven themselves.
They had been eyeing the Spring and Autumn Scroll for a long time not only because of Longyin, but also because of many clues that pointed to the theft of spirit seeds. Of course, it had started out because of Longyin.
The more they stared at it, the more they felt that there was a problem.
They had constantly caused trouble at the Book of the World Conference and tried all sorts of methods to enter the Spring and Autumn Scroll and use the spirit-seeking technique, but to no avail. However, they had never given up.
There were some things that would confuse one the deeper one got.
Just like the spirit-seeking technique. If one could not find it, then they were innocent..
The Death Hill did not only rely on the Spirit Seeking Technique, but also relied on the method of ordinary people to solve cases and find clues. Otherwise, how could they distinguish between a plundered spiritual seed and an inherited spiritual seed?
They were absolutely certain that the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip had violated the rules, but they just couldn't find the cultivation spirit. It had been quite bitter for many years. This was also the reason why many people found it strange. Long Yin's greatest enemy was clearly the White Jade Clan, so why was he so fixated on the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip?
Revenge was one thing, but duty was another.
The people of Death Hill could take revenge, but they had to follow their principles.
The Great Master was biased towards his own people and found an excuse to lessen the punishment. It was not only because he was shielding his own people, but also because of Long Yin's words: "Great Master, this subordinate is certain that the Spring and Autumn Annals are forbidden."
There was no need for an oath. Just because of this sentence, Death Hill could trust Long Yin.
This was the Death Hill.
Now that the Spring and Autumn Booklet had been proven to be a taboo, Long Yin heaved a sigh of relief, the people of the Third Summit heaved a sigh of relief, and the entire Death Hill heaved a sigh of relief.
Death Hill was still the same Death Hill, it would not be blinded by hatred.
"Thank you," Long Yin thanked Lu Yin.
The girls from the Third Peak bowed to Lu Yin in unison. "Thank you, senior."
Lu Yin waved a hand. "Are you done?
Then I'll put it away. "
Long Yin left with the people from the Third Peak. According to the rules, the cultivation spirit would definitely be taken to Death Hill. However, they were not the ones who destroyed the Spring and Autumn Bamboo Slip, so the cultivation spirit could not be taken away by them.
Today's weather was really good.
Long Yin rarely smiled and looked up at the sky. The blood mist had already dissipated, and the sky of the graveyard was blue again. It was very beautiful.
Next, the White Jade Clan.
The people of Death Hill left, and Lu Yin asked Ming Xiaolong to urge them again. The result was the same. They had not thought of a good condition.
Helpless, Lu Yin decided to go to the roots of the Mother Tree, which was the center of the Ninth Heaven Universe.
The Ninth Heaven Universe was divided into four regions by the roots of the Mother Tree. The Eastern Region only had Lu Siyu and Ming Xiaolong, so he had to go to other regions to fulfill the conditions.
Lu Yin asked around and decided to go to the Northern Region. The Jiuchi Garden was in the Northern Region, and the Northern Region also had an entrance to Death Hill. He wanted to go to Death Hill.
There was no need for him to worry about the situation here.
He just needed to fulfill the conditions.
He looked into the distance. Shui Su was standing there, looking at him. When she saw Lu Yin's gaze sweep over, she was shocked and quickly looked away.
Don't look for me, don't look for me, don't look for me, don't look for me …
Shui Su kept praying. She did not want to be watched by others, and she did not want to walk together with Lu Yin. Although Lu Yin was powerful, he was too ruthless. He had destroyed the Spring and Autumn Slip just like that. It was better to stay away from such a person. Who knew who he would find trouble with next?
Lu Yin looked away and prepared to leave.
At that moment, someone exclaimed, "Look at the sky!"
Everyone looked up.
Above the stars, an object that looked like a pillar traversed the horizon, carrying traces of distortion in the void as it fell in a certain direction. It was so fast that it split the entire starry sky in two.
At this moment, not just the graveyard, but the entire Ninth Heaven Universe could see it.
Countless people looked at this scene. The Seventh Night Pillar had returned.
"The Seventh Night Pillar?"
Lu Yin could clearly see that the pillar-like object was really a pillar. However, it was an extremely large pillar that was large enough to support the entire Ninth Heaven Universe.
At this moment, the Seventh Night Pillar was outside of the Ninth Heaven Universe, not inside.
How tall was the Mother Tree?
The crown of the tree and the earth were two different worlds. The Seventh Night Pillar was outside of the Mother Tree, but everyone could clearly see its shape. One could only imagine its size.
Lu Yin had thought that the Night Pillars were a place name, but now he knew that they were actually pillars.
No wonder it was said that the Nine Night Pillars propped up the Ninth Heaven Universe.
Someone said excitedly, "The Seventh Night Pillar's return means that the mission is complete."
"Wait another hundred years, and we'll witness the restart of the Lan Universe."
"Ancestor, do you see it?
You've waited for so long. When the Seventh Night Pillar returns, you can try to step into immortality before your lifespan ends. Ancestor, your life has not been in vain. "
"But how can it be so fast?
How long has it been since the Seventh Night Pillar left? "
"It's too fast. We can't catch up. With our cultivation, we can't catch up to the restart of the Lan Universe. What can we do in a hundred years?
Why is it like this? "
"…"
Some were happy, while others were sad.
Ah Zuo sighed, "I wonder if the Lan Universe will have a new Eternal Realm powerhouse after a hundred years. This is a grand occasion for the entire Ninth Heaven Universe. It's truly a grand occasion that can change history."
Lu Siyu rolled her eyes. "You think too much. How many universes have been restarted since ancient times?
There are still only a few Supreme Gods. No, one even died. It's too difficult to give birth to a new Eternal Realm powerhouse. "
Ah Zuo said bitterly, "Yes, witnessing the restart of the universe may allow one to step into immortality, but what's the probability?
It's too low. The birth of an Eternal Realm powerhouse requires the sacrifice of several eras or even dozens of eras. When I went to the spiritualized universe, the people there generally believed that as long as a certain universe could be restarted, an Eternal Realm powerhouse would inevitably be born. "
"It's ridiculous. They have never witnessed the restart of the universe. How can they know that?"
At this moment, Ming Xiaolong pulled him.
Ah Zuo was shocked. He looked at Lu Yin and hurriedly bowed. "I'm sorry. Please don't blame me for offending you."
He had forgotten that Lu Yin came from the three universes. Saying that the three universes were ridiculous was the same as saying that this person was ridiculous.
Lu Yin looked at the starry sky and watched the Seventh Night Pillar fall and disappear. His gaze was complicated.
Yes, how could they be sure that as long as the universe was restarted, an Eternal Realm powerhouse would be born?
The Tianyuan Universe had never restarted any universe. What about the spiritualized universe?
None.
Only the Jiuxiao Universe had restarted the universe.
As far as he knew, the Jiuxiao Universe had restarted several universes, but there were still only a few Eternal Realm powerhouses. After countless years, the Jiuxiao Universe did not seem to have a new Eternal Realm powerhouse.
Were eras sacrificed for the birth of Eternal Realm?
"Other than restarting the universe, there are other ways to step into Eternal Realm. Your Jiuxiao Universe has a saying, 'Seeing through the five skandhas is all emptiness, turning all bitterness'. This saying seems to point out the true path to Eternal Realm," Lu Yin murmured.
Ah Zuo said, "In theory, yes. Of the three Supreme Gods today, who stepped into Eternal Realm with the help of the restarted universe and who really stepped into Eternal Realm through the Great Path? We don't know, but the existence of this saying does point out the Great Path to Eternal Realm."
Lu Yin put his hands behind his back and looked at the starry sky in a daze.
Eternal Realm?
He had not even stepped into the Primordial Realm.
It was not that he could not step into it. If he wanted to step into the Primordial Realm, he could just wave his hand, but he always felt that something was missing.
The Sequence Rules could become the next weapon, but the Primordial Realm could not be skipped. Most importantly, he did not know what his bitterness was.
He could step into the Primordial Realm and bitterness at the same time.
The Primordial Realm was a realm, but bitterness was a mental journey. In other words, it was a path that could lead to Eternal Realm. However, this path also needed a signpost. Bitterness was a signpost, but Lu Yin did not know where his signpost was.
He had cultivated for so long. Although he had experienced life and death, he had basically never encountered any difficulties on the path of cultivation.
He could comprehend any battle skill or cultivation method.
He had also completed what he wanted to do one by one.
After coming to the Jiuxiao Universe, his mentality had changed. He had jumped out of the hatred of the universe and looked at the entire world. He did not know what bitterness he should have.
Emotions?
Yan 'er was here. He could wake her up at any time.
His attachment to Eternal Realm?
How many years had he lived?
It had only been a little over two hundred years in the real world. Even if he included the Time Stop Space, it would not exceed five hundred years.
Compared to those cultivators who had been in seclusion for tens of millions of years, he was like a child.
It was far too difficult for a child to find their own bitterness.
Lu Yin had now fallen into a vicious cycle. His battle prowess constantly increased, to the point where he could even put up a fight against Eternal Realm cultivators. His realm could also increase at any time, but his mental state had weakened greatly due to the increase in battle prowess. He had lost the ability to think about pain, his attachment to hatred, his passion for cultivation, and his pursuit of Eternal Realm.
The path of his mental journey was dim and lightless.
This path just happened to lead to the Great Path of Bitterness.
Only by understanding himself could he see the future.
