The Pristine Lotus shook her head. "You don't understand. This is the God of Defense expressing his position. It means that he thinks highly of Grand Venerable Lan Ye. Think about it. Once Grand Venerable Lan Ye breaks through to the Eternal Realm, who will he be most grateful to?
Of course, it's the Defender Deity who helped him before. Don't think that the Defender Deity is high and mighty. Actually, there are conflicts between them too. Just like me and that Wei Heng. That guy is too infuriating. He's reckless and a boorish fellow. Junior Brother, you must not learn from him. "
"You're asking Wei Heng?
Oh, he's a disciple of the Blood Tower's Upper Imperial Disciple. Just like me, he also became my disciple a thousand years ago. He can be considered to be from the same batch of Upper Imperial Disciples. There's always competition between us … "
After sending the pristine lotus away with great difficulty, Lu Yin hurriedly changed locations.
The seventh Night Pillar was very big, it would not be easy for others to find him, unless it was a Night Chief like Gu Duanke who could see all the Night Pillars.
Along the way, he saw quite a few cultivators. Some were gathered in groups of twos and threes, while others were in seclusion alone. It was easy to tell the difference between the cultivators of the Seventh Night Pillar and the ordinary cultivators.
Lu Yin saw Luo Ning, and Luo Ning happened to see Lu Yin as well. They bowed from afar.
Lu Yin continued walking and saw Qing Yun and Granny Yin again. He was just about to greet Qing Yun when Granny Yin blocked his path and stared at him warily.
He had no choice but to leave.
Qing Yun laughed. "Granny, he's not a bad person."
"He is indeed a shameless person."
Yin Po said, "Miss, let's stay away from him as much as possible. This guy has caused so much trouble in the Nine Clouds Universe and no one has asked him about it. Obviously, he has the support of the Blue Lotus Protector. He has no one to complain about it."
Qing Yun smiled faintly as she watched Lu Yin leave.
Then, Lu Yin saw Wan Lou. Ming Xiaochou excitedly greeted him, and Wan Lou hurriedly bowed respectfully.
Lu Yin nodded and finally stopped at a low mountain peak. This was the place for now.
He turned around and met a pair of eyes. Was that Ru Guo?
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow; there were so many familiar faces.
Ru Guo hadn't expected to see Lu Yin here, and he was a little startled. After a moment, he took the initiative to walk towards Lu Yin.
When he had left the spiritualized universe, he had received Lu Yin's help, and Lu Yin had learned a little about the Nine Firmaments Universe through him. Even though he knew very little, he had still obtained the Rushi True Scripture.
At that time, Ru Guo had sincerely hoped that Lu Yin could enter the Nine Heavens and help him, even if it was just to divert Yue Ya's attention.
But in the end, Lu Yin had arrived and turned the world upside down. He had displayed an aura of invincibility below immortality.
When Ru Guo found out, he didn't want to come into contact with it from the bottom of his heart.
If he joined forces with someone like Lu Yin, he would only be passive and unable to make any decisions. Furthermore, this person had provoked the entire Ninefirmaments Universe and was completely lawless. Who knew what would happen in the end?
If he wanted to be more stable, he only wanted to cultivate until he became a Lesser God, which was a completely different goal from Lu Yin's.
Who would have thought that they would meet at the seventh Night Pillar?
"Greetings, Mister Lu." Ru Guo walked up to Lu Yin and bowed slowly.
The current situation was completely different from when they had met in the spiritualized universe. Lu Yin had become an invincible powerhouse under Immortality, and even the Lesser Defense Deity was not his match, let alone Ru Guo.
It was normal for them to greet each other.
Wan Lou had just bowed to Lu Yin.
Before Ru Guo had become the God of Defense, his status as the master of the Myriad Elephant Valley had completely surpassed him. Now, the Ru family was just a small family.
Lu Yin looked at Ru Guo. "Long time no see."
Ru Guo smiled. "Yes, I didn't expect to see you again at the seventh Night Pillar."
"How is Ru Mu?"
Ru Guo's eyes dimmed. "Still the same."
Back then, Ru Mu was controlled by Yue Ya. On the surface, she wanted to take Lu Yin to the God of Defense Mountain, but in reality, she wanted to enter the palm of the Sun Beast. Yue Ya wanted the Sun Beast to throw Lu Yin to the Ninefirmaments Universe so that he could capture Lu Yin and devour his consciousness.
However, Yu Sang Tian saw through Yue Ya's plan and attacked Boundless, which affected Ru Mu and turned her into a living dead.
After that, Ru Mu was captured by Yue Ya and used to threaten Ru Guo to take Lu Yin to the Ninefirmaments.
From beginning to end, Yue Ya was controlling Ru Mu. Ru Mu was a pitiful person. Although she was in the Ru family, the Ru family could not protect her.
She was just a pawn.
"When you return to the Ninefirmaments, bring her to see me. I may be able to help her recover," Lu Yin said.
Ru Guo was surprised. "Can you help her recover?"
Lu Yin nodded. "I should be able to."
"Thank you, Sir. Thank you, Sir." Ru Guo was grateful.
Lu Yin did not care. "No matter what, she is my little maid. But you …" He was about to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Ru Guo really cared about his daughter?
Maybe, or maybe he was just leaving a way out for the cultivation of the Ru Shi Sutra, a way out for love.
Whether his feelings were real or fake, it had nothing to do with Lu Yin. He did not need to care about other people's family matters.
Ru Guo asked, "What do you want to say?"
Lu Yin said, "Coordinates, have you set them up?"
Ru Guo's face was solemn. "I can swear that as soon as I returned to the Ninefirmaments Universe, I set them up. I absolutely did not lie to you."
"But I went to Ye Hai," Lu Yin said, staring at Ru Guo.
Ru Guo was surprised. "Ye Hai?
How did you go there? "
"The Sun Beast."
"Impossible."
Ru Guo could not believe it. "Ye Hai is located in the crown of the Mother Tree. Not to mention the spiritualized universe, even in the land of the Ninefirmaments Universe, it is impossible to enter Ye Hai unless Ye Hai agrees. As for being thrown to Ye Hai by the Sun Beast, it is impossible."
"Unless …" At this point, he stopped, and his eyes kept changing.
He did not say, and Lu Yin did not need to listen. There was only one answer, unless Qing Lian Yu made a move.
Ru Guo thought a lot at this moment. Lu Yin entered the Ninefirmaments and did a series of things, but he could not get rid of Ye Hai because Ming Zhuo said that Lu Yin came from Ye Hai.
His unscrupulous and powerful strength were all labeled with Ye Hai's label.
Now he was even more sure that Lu Yin must be from Ye Hai. Only Qing Lian Yu could bring Lu Yin directly to Ye Hai. How could a mere Sun Beast do that?
Lu Yin waved his hand and Ru Guo left. Before leaving, he bowed to Lu Yin again.
He felt that this person would become an Eternal Life Realm in the future.
Lu Yin was only 90% sure that it was Qing Lian Yu who made a move, but now he was absolutely sure.
But why did Qing Lian Yu involve himself with the Seven Fairies?
There must be something wrong with the Seven Fairies.
A year had passed, and Night Pillar flew in the square inch without slowing down.
During this year, Ru Guo had seen people fishing in space.
Fishing was not fishing, but fishing for things that floated in the square inch. Most of them were worthless things like meteorites, but one could occasionally get something good.
Almost every cultivator of the Seventh Night Pillar had fished before. Every time Night Pillar returned to the Ninefirmaments Universe, some cultivators would go out to sell them. Thus, there were many auras from other universes in the Ninefirmaments Universe.
Many spirit treasures were buried under the yellow sands of the Western Region, and a considerable number of them came from the square inch.
On a mountain peak next to Lu Yin's, a group of Seventh Night Pillar cultivators threw out spirit threads together.
They threw their spirit threads in a direction and then immediately pulled them back. What they could catch depended on luck. Most of the time, they could not catch anything for several years, but sometimes they could catch a bunch.
Spirit threads were extremely tough and did not break even at Night Pillar's speed.
It was impossible to catch anything accurately, as they could not keep up with Night Pillar's speed. Rather than calling it fishing, it was more like throwing it out and trying their luck.
The only skill involved was who could throw the furthest.
However, these people were reprimanded not long after fishing, and they had no choice but to withdraw their spirit threads.
"Sigh, it's boring. I heard that you could fish freely in space in the past. Some people could catch many things, and some were even helpful for cultivation."
"That was a long time ago. Now, there's a time limit to fishing, and there's a rule that you have to throw away any spirit treasures you catch."
"I don't know why."
"It's said that it's an order from the God of Defense, and even the Night Pillar does not dare to disobey. I heard that the Night Pillar's greatest joy is to drink and fish in space, but he rarely does that anymore …"
Lu Yin retracted his gaze. Was there a restriction on fishing in space?
Especially spirit treasures. It seemed like it was because of that skeleton.
So, the spirit treasures that revealed the skeleton had to be from the square inch?
Spirit treasures floated in space, and anyone who obtained them would find a skeleton when they were unlocked, which would lead to a crisis of death. The universe could be moved, and it was a springboard, but it had to be hidden. All these signs made Lu Yin see a cruel universe, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
If the spirit treasures that revealed the skeleton were deliberately released by some civilization, what was their goal?
Lu Yin suddenly looked at the cultivators. They were fishing. They were fishing in outer space. Someone was fishing for civilizations.
Two years after leaving Ninefirmaments Universe, Grand Sovereign Lan Ye suddenly came looking for Lu Yin, which surprised him.
Back then, this person had lost to Lu Yin and apologized in public. He had lost a lot of face, but he still took the initiative to come looking for Lu Yin.
"There's something that's been bothering me for a long time, but I still can't get an answer. However, I'm becoming more and more certain of the answer. Mister Lu, can you give me the answer?"
Grand Sovereign Lan Ye did not resent Lu Yin. He was not as strong as Lu Yin, and he had no regrets even though he had lost.
After that, he returned to the seventh Night Pillar and recalled the past. He knew that he had been too arrogant and did not even put the Night Pillar in his eyes. Compared to Gu Duanke, he was still too inexperienced. Even though the Lan Universe had been rebooted, and his chances of breaking through to immortality were higher than Gu Duanke's, it was not absolute.
Immortality was not only about cultivation, but also about one's state of mind.
He was even grateful that Lu Yin had given him a chance to think for himself.
However, that answer tortured him all the time. Anyone from Ninefirmaments Universe who had guessed the answer would not ignore it. They cared too much about it.
Lu Yin knew what answer Grand Sovereign Lan Ye wanted, and he looked at him indifferently. "You want me to give you an answer?"
"If Mister Lu is willing," Grand Sovereign Lan Ye said respectfully.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Alright, I'll give you the answer."
Grand Sovereign Lan Ye looked at him with apprehension.
"You guessed right," Lu Yin said.
Grand Sovereign Lan Ye's eyes narrowed. "You really comprehended karma?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Didn't you guess it when you came out of Point General Platform Hell? Why are you unwilling to accept this answer?"
Grand Sovereign Lan Ye smiled bitterly. "It's true."
