Ku Ji sighed, "I didn't know when I would be able to meet Mister, but I didn't expect to meet you so soon."
"Uncle knows Mister?" Ku Cheng was puzzled.
Ku Ji smiled, "There aren't many people in the Continent of the Nine Firmaments who don't know Mister."
Ku Cheng looked at Lu Yin in surprise.
Lu Yin looked at Ku Ji, "Sorry to disturb you, Senior Ku Ji."
Ku Ji said, "It is Ku Ji's honor to invite Mister as a guest. Mister's words disregard the barriers of the universe and protect humanity. Ku Ji admires Mister. If Mister needs any help, Ku Ji will do his best to help."
Lu Yin solemnly bowed to Ku Ji, "On behalf of the Tian Yuan Universe, Lu Yin thanks Senior."
Ku Ji returned the bow, "Ku Ji can't represent the Continent of the Nine Firmaments, but I can represent Ku Ji. I hope Mister can achieve his wish and integrate humanity."
This was the first time Ku Cheng had seen his uncle praise someone so much.
Just as Lu Yin had expected, everyone had a different interpretation of what he had said.
People like Lan Ye heard the provocation and thought that the three universes must be under the Continent of the Nine Firmaments. Since Lu Yin had entered the Continent of the Nine Firmaments, he had to prioritize the Continent of the Nine Firmaments.
Ku Ji, on the other hand, heard Lu Yin's desire to integrate humanity and protect the entire human race.
This was the difference in their mentality.
Lan Ye might not be inferior to Ku Ji in terms of battle strength, but his mentality was far from Ku Ji's.
"If Senior Brother was here, it would be great to see Mister."
"Senior Brother is?"
Ku Cheng said, "The Master of Ku Ji, my master, Ku Deng."
Lu Yin's expression changed, "Senior Ku Deng is not in Ku Ji?"
Ku Cheng nodded, "My master is in the Mind Universe and is not in the Continent of the Nine Firmaments."
Ku Ji said, "If Senior Brother was here and heard Mister's words, he would want to talk with Mister and become a close friend."
Lu Yin smiled, "I would also like to talk with Senior Ku Deng."
The Spiritual Universe was one of the extinct universes of the Nine Clouds Universe. When he went to the Spring and Autumn Jade with Ming Xiaolong, he heard about it once. However, Ming Xiaolong didn't know much about the Spiritual Universe. She only knew that Ku Yuan's power seemed to come from the Spiritual Universe.
... and the Mind Universe was one of the strongest external universes of the Nine Firmaments......
A Garnering Sky Universe had created Garnering Sky City.
A spiritual universe also created the Bitter Abyss.
Lu Yin hadn't expected the Embittered Abyss Master to still be in the spiritual universe. Did he have to cultivate in the spiritual universe?
Ku Yuan's attitude towards Lu Yin was extremely respectful, which was something that Lu Yin had rarely experienced since coming to the Nine Firmaments Universe. The Four Lin Sword Sect, Myriad Elephant Valley, and even the Sixth Night Pillar respected him because of his strength. Ku Ji respected him because of what he had said, and Ku Cheng respected him because he had saved the mountain range.
Over the next few days, Lu Yin did not leave the Bitter Abyss and accepted Ku Ji's invitation to chat with him. Ku Ji was very curious about the Tian Yuan Universe, and according to him, the people from the Bitter Abyss had only been to two places: the Nine Firmaments Universe and the Spiritual Universe.
Other than that, he didn't even go to the spiritualized universe or the universe of consciousness.
"Before the Imperial God died, a large number of cultivators from the Continent of the Nine Clouds went to the Spiritual Universe. Some wanted to practice cultivation, some wanted resources, and some just wanted to enjoy the fun of bullying others. However, no one from the Bitter Abyss went to the Spiritual Universe."
"The Spiritual Universe exists in the Heavenly Yi Palace, and if you get close to it, you might be able to obtain the memories of an Eternal Realm cultivator. We know this, but those memories have nothing to do with us. We just want to climb out of the abyss in our hearts. If we were invincible, why would we fall?
Only with an invincible state of mind can we live freely even if we die. "
"We don't have anyone in the Nine Firmaments Universe either. The Bitter Abyss has never participated in external battles. If you want to join the Nine Firmaments Universe, you have to leave the Bitter Abyss. Of course, this is a personal choice, and even if you leave, the Bitter Abyss won't take anything back. The Bitter Abyss is a place to temper one's spirit …" Ku Ji said a lot, giving Lu Yin a deeper understanding of the Bitter Abyss.
At the same time, he also knew that the Bitter Abyss's cultivation was its own sect that only cultivated mental techniques. It indeed originated from the Spiritual Universe, and the division of realms was extremely simple. From the One Abyss Realm all the way to the Nine Abyss Realm, a powerhouse could open several abysses if they placed their palms flat and clasped them in reverse.
Ku Cheng could open eight abysses, while Ku Ji could open nine.
Eight abysses was equivalent to the power of someone who had crossed the Bitter Abyss, while nine abysses were equivalent to someone who had crossed the Bitter Abyss.
The people of the Bitter Abyss didn't cultivate their souls or the laws of the Sequence. They didn't even cultivate their own innate gifts. They only cultivated their mental techniques and the Abyss. This was a rather strange power, but it had relied on this to firmly sit at the top of the Northern Region.
In Ku Cheng's words, their mental techniques could support any power, and they didn't need to cultivate anything else. Their mental techniques would naturally be formed when the conditions were right.
Lu Yin was very curious about the mental techniques that the Bitter Abyss cultivated, so he proposed a spar.
He had originally wanted to spar with Ku Ji, who was at the peak of the Bitter Abyss Realm. However, Ku Ji hadn't fought in a long time and didn't want to, so he could only spar with Ku Cheng.
"What would you like to see, Sir?"
"Anything is fine."
"Alright, I've learned a little about Sir's deeds over the past few days. I've heard that Sir's strength is unparalleled, and you were able to shatter the Spring and Autumn Scroll with a single punch. I'll use my strength to challenge Sir."
Ku Cheng then opened his hands, and numerous abysses swallowed up the surroundings, causing the void to collapse and darkness to spread out. This attracted the attention of many in the Bitter Abyss.
Most of these gazes didn't seem to care, and they didn't have the curiosity or excitement of the cultivators in the outside world.
The people of the Bitter Abyss were indeed special. Regardless of whether their thoughts were right or wrong, their state of mind was something that ordinary people couldn't compare to.
Ku Cheng's eight abysses suddenly condensed around him, and he raised his hand to slap Lu Yin.
This slap had once sent the Tian Suo Mountain Range flying, and it was comparable to the Sun Beast's strength.
This slap caused the heavens and earth to tremble, and space itself seemed to be crushed. This caused the expressions of the people from the Bitter Abyss to change.
Facing Ku Cheng's attack, Lu Yin stood in place without moving.
As the palm approached, Ku Cheng cried out in alarm, "Mister, dodge!"
Lu Yin calmly watched.
Bang!
There was a soft sound, and a gust of wind rose up around Lu Yin, sweeping into the distance.
Ku Cheng's attack landed on Lu Yin's shoulder, but Lu Yin's expression didn't change. His shoulder shook, and the opposite force pushed Ku Cheng back a dozen steps, each step causing cracks to appear on the ground.
The surroundings were silent, and everyone who saw this scene was shocked.
Ku Cheng's Eight Abyss Realm had supported his body, and his incomparably fierce attack had not only failed to injure Lu Yin, but had even been pushed back. How strong was this person's defense?
Ku Cheng was stunned, "Sir, your strength …?"
In front of him, Ku Ji stepped forward, "Back off, let me deal with him."
Ku Cheng looked at Ku Ji's back, slowly bowed, and retreated. When he looked back at Lu Yin, the shock had not yet subsided.
When his attack had hit Lu Yin, it had felt like he had hit cotton. It was not a defense, but Lu Yin's shoulder had shaken at that moment, and his strength had distorted the void, making it difficult for Ku Cheng to break through. Then, the void had been pushed back, and Ku Ji had been pushed back.
Although it had only been a moment, Lu Yin had done a lot. If not for that, Ku Ji would have been injured.
What Lu Yin had just done could only be done under the premise that the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. If it had been just a little bit more, Lu Yin would have been unlucky.
Ku Cheng was very clear about the gap between them, and that was why Uncle Ku Ji had a rare desire to fight.
Lu Yin smiled. He had deliberately exposed some of his strength to push Ku Cheng back in order to force Ku Ji out.
How could a mere Ku Er compare to him?
Ku Ji had not attacked, so Lu Yin could not see anything.
Ku Ji looked at Lu Yin in amazement, "Sir Lu is really strong. In the entire Nine Firmaments, perhaps only Yu Jiuxiao's Tomorrow Beast can compare to you in strength."
Lu Yin shook his head, "There is always someone stronger. Yu Sang Tian is very strong. His heart is like a boulder, and he can move the stars. He is incomparably strong."
Ku Ji asked, "Yu Sang Tian?
After all, he is the Lesser God of Defense, and he even defeated the Lesser God of Defense. May I ask if Sir has defeated Yu Sang Tian? "
This question attracted the attention of Ku Ji and the others. They were not completely unconcerned about the outside world.
When it came to the Lesser God of Defense, no one could ignore it.
Lu Yin did not hide anything, "He is not my opponent."
Ku Ji and the others were shocked. Even God of Defense was not Lu Yin's opponent?
Ku Ji was not surprised, "Overlooking the Nine Firmaments is merely a breakthrough to the Primordial realm. Sir's strength is shocking, and in terms of true battle prowess, I am definitely not your opponent. However, if Sir wants to experience Ku Ji's technique, I am the most suitable."
Lu Yin said, "Thank you, Senior Ku Ji. Please."
"Please."
Ku Ji did not hesitate and opened his palms. Abyss after abyss appeared. The first eight were the same as Ku Cheng's, but when the ninth abyss appeared, the sky darkened. It seemed to cover the entire northern region.
Far away, two figures approached Ku Ji. Seeing the sky turn dark, they were shocked, "Uncle-Master, this is?"
"This is a Nine Abyss Realm powerhouse. Who is strong enough to force Senior Ku Ji to take action?"
"Then why are we still going?"
"Let's go."
On the other side, countless cultivators looked up in shock, "Nine Abyss Realm, it's the Nine Abyss Realm. Ku Ji has encountered a strong enemy?"
"Close the door and refuse all guests. All family members are to return during this time. Otherwise, they will be expelled from the family."
Nine Feet Garden. The ground was dark red. The once prosperous Nine Feet Garden was now like a ghost town. There were only a few scattered cultivators. These cultivators all came from the Death Hill.
They looked up, "This is Senior Ku Ji's strength. Who could force Senior Ku Ji to take action?"
"Immediately report to the peak master. There might be changes in the northern region."
"Even Ku Ji's Nine Abyss Realm has taken action. I don't know what's going on."
Even further away, the Luo family of Elysium. Although Ku Ji's actions did not affect them, the news had already spread.
Luo Nan's mother tree was far away, "Something happened to Ku Ji?
What's going on?
Trouble has been popping up all this time. "
"Master, Elysium."
"I know. I'll go now. Also, has Young Master returned to the Junior Imperial Tower?"
"Young Master is about to reach the Junior Imperial Tower."
"That's good. Luo family is closing the door."
"Yes."
…
Ku Ji's Nine Abyss Realm completely erupted. The powerful aura of someone who had completed Ku Ji's Nine Abyss Realm made it difficult for Ku Cheng to breathe. He had no choice but to retreat.
The surrounding Ku Ji cultivators had already fled. They wanted to climb out of the abyss in their hearts, but that did not mean that they could ignore death. If they died, how could they climb out?
