Qing Xian gathered the advantages of the current space-time creatures. She was extremely talented and could cultivate to a very high level in an extremely short period of time. However, no matter how fast she cultivated, there was a limit. She could not surpass the Desolate God in time and was killed by the Desolate God.
At the moment of Qing Xian's death, under the same starry sky, in an inconspicuous corner, a beautiful woman with exquisite features and snow-white skin calmly watched. This woman was like a crystal sculpture, beautiful and flawless. However, her eyes had no pupils, they were completely snow-white. She was none other than Mobai, Qing Xian.
Yu Leng stood beside Mobai.
Yu Leng was shocked by the magnificence of the battle between the Desolate God and Qing Xian. He looked at Mobai, "Are you really not going to care?"
Mobai said indifferently, "I don't care. Humans are malleable creatures. After going out for a while, they will transform when they return."
"That Qing Xian was nurtured by us with great difficulty."
"It doesn't matter. Qing Xian will face elimination herself." After that, she looked up at the starry sky and frowned slightly, "Why? Is it getting farther and farther?"
…
In the Orchid Universe, Lu Yin sat on the peak of the seventh night pillar with his eyes closed. He had rested for ten days.
His head hurt. It was an indescribable headache. It was as if his head had been rebooted along with the universe.
This was the aftereffect of overusing madness. He had experienced it in the Mind Universe. Lu Yin originally thought that the aftereffect would be bearable after he broke through to the Primordial Realm. However, he had underestimated this madness.
Now, he felt like rolling a die six times. It had broken through some kind of limit and made him suffer pain.
However, compared to when he was in the Mind Universe, the aftereffect had appeared much later.
He had already caught close to thirty thousand Immortal Matter. It had been fifteen years since he left the Nine Heavens Universe, which meant that they had stayed in the Orchid Universe for twelve years.
During these twelve years, many people had died. Lu Yin had witnessed the deaths of Lei Gong and Grand Sovereign Lan Ye. Close to a hundred other cultivators had also died. They had all entered the Orchid Universe to experience the rebooting of the universe up close.
Everything had a price. They wanted to transform, and the corresponding price was their lives.
Gu Duanke came again and asked when Lu Yin would leave.
"Are you in a hurry?"
"Not really. Mr. Lu, you can stay if you want. However, you probably won't get much."
"What do you mean?"
Gu Duanke looked at the rebooted Lan Universe in the distance. "The process of rebooting the universe is very long. The only valuable thing for us is the first few decades. During that period, the immortal matter will be released and close to the Sequence of Strings. As time goes on, the immortal matter will be dispersed. At first, we could catch ten immortal matter per day, but now, we can only catch one immortal matter per day. Then, we can catch one every ten days, and one every hundred days.
"In the beginning, we could try immortality in one or two years. Later on, we might not even be able to try it in a hundred years. Later on, we can't even estimate. Because the immortal matter is scattered throughout the entire rebooted universe, it's not easy for us to catch it. Once the immortal matter is completely scattered, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"It won't be easy even for you, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yin had not expected this. This meant that it would be even more difficult to capture the Immortal Substance than it had been in the Consciousness Universe.
The immortal matter in the Consciousness Universe was the broken world. Once they found the broken world, they could be sure that the immortal matter was there. The range was fixed, but it was different here. Once the immortal matter was completely scattered, it was harder than looking for a needle in a haystack. He could not use his cultivation base to search the entire universe in an instant.
It was definitely not as easy as looking for an ordinary person in the universe.
"I thought it would take at least a few decades for the immortal matter to disperse, but I didn't expect that not only Grand Sage Lan Ye, who can capture the immortal matter at an extraordinary speed, but also you, Mr. Lu, who is faster than Grand Sage Lan Ye, causing the process to speed up," Gu Duanke said.
Lu Yin nodded. "Then let's go back."
In the past year, he had also noticed that the distance between the immortal matter had increased a lot, and the speed of capturing was far slower than before. Now, he did not know how long the crazy and manic sequelae would last, so it was meaningless to wait any longer.
He already had nearly 30,000 immortal matter. Although it was still not comparable to ordinary immortal powerhouses, it was enough to challenge them.
Gu Duanke heaved a sigh of relief. "Okay, let's go back."
More than half a month later, the seventh Night Pillar shook, and the power to maintain the ejection of the sun beast was released from the bottom of the Night Pillar. In an instant, the Night Pillar flew out and headed towards the Ninth Heaven Universe.
How it came, how it left, the Night Pillar's return trajectory was the same as how it came.
Lu Yin looked at the Orchid Universe, which was getting smaller and smaller. After the reboot ended, no one would come here. Even after billions of years, new lifeforms would be born, and no one from the Nine Firmaments Universe would come here. They would only come if they wanted to destroy the Orchid Universe.
At that time, would he still exist?
If he was immortal, maybe he would still be alive. What would he be like at that time?
Lu Yin looked at the Lan Universe until it completely disappeared.
The area was dark, and there were nearly a thousand people who followed. Although a group of people had died, many of the remaining people had transformed. They were all excited, waiting to return to the Ninth Heaven Universe and surprise their old friends and families.
It would take three years to go to the Lan Universe, and it would also take three years to return to the Ninth Heaven Universe.
In the first year, Lu Yin did not go anywhere. Even after the crazy and manic sequelae were over, he stayed in place and released the starry sky in his heart to explore the green light.
But he could not understand it, so he gave up.
On the starry sky land in his heart, the spirit seed liquid was densely packed with Immortal Substance. It looked very confident. Thirty thousand Immortal Substance was equivalent to thirty thousand times of Three Heavens Sword Intent. Imagine, with so many Immortal Level Three Heavens Sword Intent, it would be overwhelming. Even if he encountered that Immortal Realm monster again, he would dare to release a wave.
He also had to thank the Great Master for giving him a spot.
He definitely had to go to the Death Hillock.
After some time, Lu Yin went to the Seventh Night Pillar and found the Ninth Spirit.
The Ninth Spirit looked at Lu Yin helplessly and bowed slowly. "Mr. Lu."
Lu Yin looked at the Ninth Spirit. Back in the spiritualized universe, this girl had called him little guy. Now her attitude had changed. "When did you return to the Ninth Heaven?"
"Not long before the Seventh Night Pillar went to the Lan Universe."
"Where have you been all this time?"
"First in Torch City, and then back in the spiritualized universe."
"How is Torch City?"
The Ninth Spirit thought about it and sighed. "Torch City has been completely destroyed. That Eternal Realm creature only touched Torch City, and half of it was gone. If not for Mr. Lu's timely warning, who knows how many people would have died."
Lu Yin said in a low voice, "No matter what, I was the one who led them there. I am responsible for their deaths."
The Ninth Spirit did not discuss this with Lu Yin. There was no right or wrong in this matter. Lu Yin had used Torch City as a springboard to escape. This was the nature of cultivators. The others who had been caught in the crossfire were just unlucky. Such things happened every day in the cultivation world.
Lu Yin had already warned them. Some had escaped, while others had not reacted in time and died. That was their problem.
At least the Ninth Spirit knew that no one in Torch City blamed Lu Yin. This was reality. There were no good people in the cultivation world.
But she had not expected Lu Yin to blame himself. She had thought that this matter would not bother him at all.
"How is the spiritualized universe?" Lu Yin asked again.
The Ninth Spirit hesitated. "Not very good."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "What do you mean?
Didn't Master Green Grass go back? "
The Ninth Spirit's face was grave. "Someone has revealed the truth of the Ninth Heaven Universe."
Lu Yin was surprised. His first thought was of Eternity.
"I returned to the Ninth Heaven because I sensed that someone was stirring up trouble. I do not know what their goal is, but I know that if I did not return to the Ninth Heaven, I would not be able to."
The Ninth Spirit frowned and took a sip of wine. "When I left the spiritualized universe, people were constantly entering the God Governing Mountain. At that time, the Sky's Gate had not noticed, and I did not say anything. I did not want to be involved in such matters."
"Now that so many years have passed, I do not know what has happened to the spiritualized universe. But the mastermind must have a motive."
Lu Yin was curious. "You did not tell Dan Long about this?"
The Ninth Spirit shook her head. "I said that I did not want to be involved in anything. I have been in the spiritualized universe for so many years. I have seen through everything."
"You stand on the side of both the spiritualized universe and the Ninth Heaven Universe. That is why you are conflicted." Lu Yin saw through her.
The Ninth Spirit did not refute.
She was from the Ninth Heaven Universe, but had lived in the spiritualized universe for so many years. It was impossible to say that she did not care about the spiritualized universe.
The Ninth Heaven Universe suppressed the spiritualized universe too much. It would have been better if no one knew. Now that the spiritualized universe knew, how could those cultivators breathe?
She felt a tinge of sympathy.
The Ninth Spirit was an expert who had crossed the Bitter Calamity and was very powerful in the spiritualized universe. She was one of the Seven Great Mulberry Skies, but she was still only crossing the Bitter Calamity. She had not reached the level where she could see certain things clearly.
She could sympathize with the spiritualized universe and have her own selfish motives. This was not wrong.
Moreover, whether she said it or not did not mean much. Would the Luo family not know?
With the overall strength of the spiritualized universe, any one or two powers from the Ninth Heaven Universe could suppress it. What mattered was the mastermind behind it.
Lu Yin was deep in thought. Master Green Grass was in the spiritualized universe, and the Eternal had also returned. They must be behind it. Otherwise, who else in the spiritualized universe could be above them?
Suddenly, Lu Yin thought of the existence behind the Eternal.
Green Grass, the Eternal, the existence behind the Eternal. What were they trying to do?
Instigating a war between the three universes and the Ninth Heaven Universe?
It was meaningless. Once the Eternal appeared, who could compete? A battle between low-level cultivators would not affect the overall situation. Moreover, it was just a spiritualized universe.
The sounds of battle could be heard in the distance. Some people were exchanging pointers and trying to comprehend the power.
Qing Yun did not disturb Lu Yin. She could not think about these things, but Lu Yin could not.
To a certain extent, Lu Yin could represent the three universes.
Lu Yin did not think for too long. He was very sure that the spiritualized universe was different from when he had been here. However, he was now in the Ninth Heaven Universe, and there were many things that he did not need to consider.
"Qing Yun, what's going on?" Lu Yin asked. This was his true reason for looking for the Ninth Spirit.
