Any action against the Mother Tree was an enemy of the Ku Abyss.
Of course, not everyone had the ability to harm the Mother Tree.
In the distance, long black hair cascaded down like ink, startling Lu Yin. He looked over and saw a woman floating in the air, looking at him curiously.
Her hair was a hundred meters long, and it was terrifying to look at.
"Kunan, why are you here?" Ku Cheng asked.
The woman floated closer, her hair only a person's height above the ground. As she descended, her hair fluttered, making her look even more terrifying.
"Senior, was he the one who fought with Uncle Ku Bo?" Kunan asked, her face covered by her hair as she stared at Lu Yin.
"Don't be rude. This is Mister Lu Yin from the Tianyuan Universe. Say hello to him."
Kunan bowed slowly, "Greetings, Mister Lu."
Lu Yin returned the greeting and looked at Kunan.
Ku Cheng introduced, "Mister Lu, this is my junior, Kunan. She's also an Eight Abyss Realm cultivator and has been climbing the Mother Tree."
Lu Yin nodded, "Your junior's hair?"
"I want to cut it," Kunan continued.
"Then cut it," Ku Cheng said.
"I haven't climbed out of the abyss yet."
"How long do you want to keep it?"
"I can cut it when I break through to the Nine Abyss. Senior, don't let me surpass you."
Ku Cheng smiled bitterly.
Lu Yin understood that Kunan's hair was both the abyss and her obsession. She wanted to cut it, but she couldn't. Who knew how long it would take for her to break through to the Nine Abyss Realm?
Kunan stared at Lu Yin, "Mister Lu, did you win against my uncle?"
"It's just a spar, there's no need to be so calculative."
Kunan's eyes lit up, "Then it's a win. Can you take me with you?"
Her words startled Lu Yin.
Ku Cheng reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. I want to follow Mister Lu to the Nine Firmaments. Climbing the Mother Tree can't satisfy me."
Ku Cheng shook his head, "Even Master climbed the Mother Tree before reaching the Nine Abyss Realm. What makes you think you can do that?"
He muttered bitterly, "Because I'm stronger than you."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing," Kunan hurriedly said, looking at Lu Yin expectantly..
Lu Yin pretended not to see it.
What a joke. Take her to the Ninth Heaven?
Then he would be famous. His hundred-meter-long black hair was too recognizable.
"Sir was lost in thought while looking at the mother tree," Ku Cheng said.
Lu Yin nodded and looked at the Mother Tree. "The Mother Tree has borne too much."
Ku Cheng's eyes lit up. "Mister, you also think so?"
Lu Yin looked at Ku Cheng, "Let's begin."
Ku Cheng nodded and then used his heart technique under Lu Yin's gaze. Abysses appeared one after another, causing their surroundings to turn pitch-black and the void to collapse.
The abyssal mental cultivation method could enhance any kind of power, and it could also suppress one's own power.
He used his heart technique to suppress his body, turning himself into an ordinary person. Only then could he climb the Mother Tree. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for a cultivator to climb the Mother Tree.
Lu Yin watched as Ku Cheng's cultivation continued to weaken. Eventually, it all gathered in the abyss, and his physical strength was slowly being stripped away. This surprised Lu Yin, but also confirmed that the people of the Bitter Abyss didn't specialize in physical strength.
This made him even more curious. If it could enhance one's physical strength, then if he cultivated to the Nine Abyss Realm, would his physical strength improve?
Ku Cheng had demonstrated how to climb the Mother Tree. It sounded simple, but Lu Yin wanted to see if the Bitter Abyss could suppress him to the level of an ordinary person, and it turned out to be true.
This meant that the heart technique was truly a heart technique, and not a cultivation method.
Even the most ordinary cultivator would change their body when they cultivated, but the Bitter Abyss was an exception.
The universe was vast, and there were countless civilizations. There were even such strange cultivation methods.
So the question was, how should he try it?
"We can use the abyssal mental cultivation method to suppress you, Sir. You should be able to experience that feeling," Ku Cheng said.
Ku Cheng blinked, full of anticipation. She wanted to see what it would be like for someone who could defeat Ku Ji to be suppressed by the Bitter Abyss.
Lu Yin recalled the feeling of being swallowed by Ku Ji's abyss. Indeed, everything had been suppressed at that moment, including his physical strength.
"Can you do it?"
Ku Cheng raised her brows, "Is Sir looking down on us?"
Lu Yin looked at Ku Cheng.
Ku Cheng thought for a moment, "Let's ask Uncle-Master to do it."
Ku Cheng was surprised, "Senior, it's useless even if we work together?"
Ku Cheng shook his head, "If Sir really wants to experience climbing the Mother Tree as an ordinary person, we won't be able to do it."
Ku Cheng was surprised. Although the Bitter Abyss did not like fighting, they were not completely calm. Otherwise, how could they have become the strongest power in the Northern Region?
She knew Ku Cheng's personality well, and if he said so, then it had to be true.
Was this person really that strong?
She had thought that even if Lu Yin won, it would only be a narrow victory, but now it seemed that was not necessarily the case.
Not long after, Ku Ji arrived and used his heart technique, Nine Abyss. The commotion was not as great as before, but it was not small either. Not only did it attract the attention of the Bitter Abyss cultivators climbing the Mother Tree, but it also shocked some passing cultivators.
There were not many people in the Ninth Heaven Universe who had the strength of the Nine Abyss Realm.
The abyss descended and swallowed Lu Yin.
Lu Yin once again experienced the feeling of being suppressed. He raised a hand and touched the Mother Tree, but his physical strength was still too strong. Ku Ji's abyss could not devour him.
"Please help me," Lu Yin said.
Ku Cheng and Ku Mu subconsciously looked at Ku Ji.
Ku Ji nodded, "Mister Lu is invincible. Ku Ji admires him. Please help."
Ku Mu was truly shocked. He took a deep breath and the Eight Abyss appeared. Darkness seeped into Ku Ji's abyss, causing it to become even deeper.
Lu Yin looked up. Sure enough, it could be fused.
The greatest characteristic of the Ninth Heaven Universe was that they could fuse with each other.
The Nine Foot Garden, the Spring and Autumn Scroll, and the Four Lin Sword Gate were all like this. The Bitter Abyss was no exception.
Ku Cheng's Eight Abyss also seeped into Ku Ji's abyss.
The suppression of the three abysses prevented Lu Yin from seeing his surroundings. Even the Mother Tree had disappeared, leaving only darkness. He felt his consciousness sink as his entire body fell.
Unfortunately, it was still not enough.
He pressed his hand against the Mother Tree. If he had not broken through to the Primordial realm, he might have been able to do so, but now, unless he increased the strength of the Nine Abyss Realm, it would be impossible to suppress his physical strength.
Just his physical strength was not something Ku Ji and the others could suppress.
They did not know how great the difference was.
As Lu Yin's fingertips trembled, the three were shocked. The abyss dissipated, "Mister, it's still not enough?"
Lu Yin looked at Ku Ji and smiled, "Thank you, senior, but it seems that this path is not suitable for me."
Ku Ji sighed, "Even with the three of us, we still can't suppress your physical strength. Your battle prowess is rarely seen."
How many people in the Continent of the Nine Clouds could do that? How many people in the Continent of the Nine Clouds could?
"Perhaps Mister Xu's path is the same as the Startling Gate's Defense in the Mind Universe," Ku Ji said.
Lu Yin was curious, "Startling Gate's Defense?"
Ku Ji nodded, "The Startling Gate's Defense uses the Mind Universe as a guide to step into immortality."
Lu Yin really did not know this. He had been in the Ninth Heaven for some time, but no one was willing to mention the Defense God. Even if they did, it was with great respect. It was impossible to talk about the Defense God's past.
"The Startling Gate's Defense broke through to the Eternal Realm in the Mind Universe?"
Ku Ji looked at the stars, as if he was looking at the crown of the tree, "This happened a very long time ago. Not many people know about it, but I, Ku Yuan, have been around for a long time, so I know a little."
"The Continent of the Nine Clouds has always had four Imperial Gods. Even when I was born, it was common knowledge. Many people think that the Imperial Gods are like the Mother Tree. They have existed since the beginning of time. However, the Imperial Gods are also cultivators," said Lin Feng.
Lu Yin was deep in thought. This was also the reason why no one talked about the Defense God even though he had been in the Ninth Heaven Universe for so long. In their knowledge, the Defense God had always existed. As for why it existed, it was the same as the Mother Tree. There was no need to investigate.
Only those who had reached the Complete Ku Ji Realm and were qualified to touch the Eternal Realm would ask about this.
Ku Ji was obviously one of them, including Ku Ji and Ku Ji. They had all cultivated to their current level and had not received spiritual training.
"The Startling Gate's Defense was a peerless genius in history and legend. In her era, it could be said that she was invincible. She had created a list of the strongest people in the world. She fought the heavens and the earth, fought the Ninth Heaven, faced the Eternal Realm, and did not fall even after seven steps. It just so happened that that period was also the time when the Mind Universe was fighting."
"The masters of the Ninth Heaven Universe were lost one by one. Countless people rushed into the Mind Universe dauntlessly. In the end, the Mind Universe was only left with the Starry Abyss. All those who jumped down never returned. Qing Lian Yu said that only the Eternal Realm could enter the Starry Abyss and destroy the strongest of the Mind Universe."
"But the Startling Gate's Defense jumped down. She was not in the Eternal Realm at that time, but she jumped down the Starry Abyss by herself."
Speaking of this, Ku Ji's eyes were fanatical and full of admiration, "The Starry Abyss, even if the Mind Universe has been destroyed until now, there are very few who dare to jump down. Even if there is no enemy of the Mind Universe's strongest, how many people dare to jump down?"
"I once looked down at the Starry Abyss and did not dare to jump."
"The masters of Ku Yuan in the past, the number of people who jumped down can be counted on one hand."
Ku Ji, Ku Ji, said, "I dare not."
"I dare not either," Ku Ji continued.
Ku Ji looked at Lu Yin, "You do not dare to jump, not because you are afraid of death, but because the Starry Abyss is terrifying. It will magnify the abyss in your heart. The more you want to jump, the more you dare not jump. Standing beside the abyss, the darkness is enough to drown you. Death is not scary, but the Starry Abyss is scarier than death."
"It will provoke a fear that your biological instincts will never be able to get rid of."
"But the Startling Gate's Defense jumped down and killed the strongest of the Mind Universe in the Starry Abyss. In the end, she climbed up and disappeared for a thousand years. When she returned, she was already immortal."
Ku Ji raised his head, "Entering this door, the Jade Pavilion will turn into a god, and the Sparrow Path will fly and startle into immortality. The first door of the Human Race."
Lu Yin looked at Ku Ji, his mind constantly replaying his words.
The World's Strongest Person List.
Fighting the Heavens and Earth.
Fighting the Ninth Heaven.
Seven steps without falling.
Jumping into the Abyss.
The first door of the Human Race.
This was the Startling Gate's Defense.
