On top of the mountain, the man grinned, "My name is Qing Xing, I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mister Lu."
Lu Yin stared at him, "What's your purpose?"
"To verify a statement."
"What statement?"
"Someone said that I'm the ultimate fighter under immortality. Whatever that person says, I have to defend."
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow, "If that person says that the mountain is not a mountain and the water is not water, you will still defend it?"
Qing Xing laughed, "That's right, as long as that person says it, I will make the earth have no mountains and the world have no water."
Lu Yin laughed, "Many people say that I'm crazy, but you're even crazier than me. I'm curious, who is that person?"
"Mi Jin Yu."
Lu Yin was surprised, "Mi Jin Yu?"
Qing Xing looked serious, "I'm Mi Jin Yu's disciple, Qing Xing. Today, I invited Mister Lu here to verify a statement. The ultimate fighter under immortality, is it you or me?"
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, "That's not an invitation, it's a threat."
"At least Mister Lu is here. As long as I can verify it, you can take the corpse away."
"If I beat you, I can take the corpse away even if you stop me. This is not a deal. You led me here, so I took a detour. You have to pay the price."
Qing Xing was stunned, then laughed again, "Mister Lu, you're crazy enough to make me pay the price. No one has done it since Master died."
Lu Yin nodded, "I believe you, but only until this moment."
Qiu Nanzhen told him that Qing Xing wanted to compete with him to see how big the gap was. At that time, Lu Yin thought that Qing Xing wanted to see the gap, but he didn't expect that Qing Xing wanted to verify his strength.
Qing Xing looked at Lu Yin from top to bottom, "Can we not use the Immortality Substance?"
"It doesn't matter." Lu Yin didn't care.
Qing Xing waved his hand, and the smell of alcohol dissipated. The heavens and earth shook, and the sky darkened. Around He Fang Mountain, all the cultivators looked at Qing Xing in shock. They saw that Qing Xing was completely different from before. His whole body was pitch black, as if he had fallen into the boundless darkness of the stars. Only his eyes were bright like a monster.
Bang!
Qing Xing took a step forward and floated in the air. His aura skyrocketed and a gust of air rose from his feet. Then, it rushed into the sky and engulfed the heavens and earth. Suddenly, the heavens and earth lost their light and stirred up the wind and clouds.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. The world had changed, and this person had changed as well. He raised a hand, and the space around him, including time, changed as well. Gray strands twined around his finger, repeating the scene that had just occurred. Occasionally, he could even see scenes from a few days ago, or even dozens of days ago.
Zhang Hongyun trembled. Fear engulfed him. The more he looked at Qing Xing, the more he could feel the terrifying power that had erupted from Qing Xing at that moment. It was a power that could devour one's mind. Zhang Hongyun's vision blurred.
He hurriedly averted his gaze, not daring to look again, but his mind was in chaos. His thoughts and thoughts were in chaos at this moment.
Qing Xing took another step forward, and the airflow suddenly increased.
Lu Yin was astonished; it could still explode?
At the same time, a storm was brewing in the southern region. Countless people looked at He Fang Mountain and saw a stream of air rushing into the sky, connecting the heavens and the earth. It seemed to have surpassed the Mother Tree.
What's going on?
Such a grand scene left everyone stupefied. Everyone who looked over felt their eyes becoming chaotic, finding it difficult to maintain their composure.
Countless people shed tears of blood.
And that sense of chaos was still expanding.
An elder looked up at the sky and lamented, "Mi Jin Shangyu, this is Mi Jin Shangyu's power. Mi Jin Shangyu is not dead yet."
"Grandpa, what did you say? This is Mi Jin Shangyu's power?"
"Kneel down. Mi Jin Shangyu is not dead yet. The heavens are protecting the Nine Heavens."
"The heavens are protecting the Nine Heavens. Greetings, Mi Jin Shangyu."
"Mi Jin Shangyu …"
Countless cultivators who had been rushing towards the Fifth Night Pillar stopped and looked at the airflow.
At the Fifth Night Pillar, Qiu Nanzhen stood in front of the war drum and bowed emotionally, "Greetings, Mi Jin Shangyu."
Swordmaster Taicang, Lian Jing, and the rest bowed as well.
The entire southern region was shaken.
At the Startled Sparrow Terrace on the Mother Tree's crown, Startled Gate Shangyu looked at the airflow that connected the heavens and the earth, "The Chaotic Ancient Qi Manual. I saw it again. I thought that your disciple would never make a move again. Mi Jin, you can rest in peace."
The appearance of the airflow caused the entire Nine Heavens to boil. Countless people bowed emotionally.
Only the people of Hefang Mountain knew that it wasn't Mi Jin Shangyu, it was Meng Xin.
They hadn't thought that Meng Xin could use Mi Jin Shangyu's power. Their hearts were in a mess. They didn't dare look at it again. They didn't even dare think about it.
If one looked at the Nine Heavens from the Universe, they would realize that they couldn't see Hefang Mountain at all.
That was the Chaotic Ancient Qi Manual.
When Qing Xing took another step, he was already in front of Lu Yin. He pointed at Lu Yin and the airflow suddenly shrank. Then, he pointed at Lu Yin.
The earth and the sky were back to normal. He condensed the energies of the earth and the sky in one finger. He could destroy the universe and turn the world upside down.
That finger was Qing Xing's most powerful attack. It came from the Chaotic Ancient Qi Manual. It came from Mi Jin Shangyu's strength. Mi Jin Shangyu had confirmed that he had reached the limit of his fighting abilities under immortality. No kind of strength could remain in front of that finger.
Lu Yin watched the finger descend. His eyebrows twitched, and a cold Qi enveloped his body. He felt a sense of danger. Without immortality, without immortality, someone could actually make him feel threatened. It was a familiar feeling, one he hadn't felt in a long time.
It made him feel hot-blooded. He hadn't felt this way in a long time. He couldn't help but want to use his battle force.
He raised his hand and pressed down. The air froze.
Between Qing Xing and Lu Yin, two arms froze in the air. One was from Qing Xing, and the other was from Lu Yin. His hand pressed down on the finger, and they both stopped at the same time.
Two airflows intertwined and then pressed down on the ground. The airflow dispersed and their hair fluttered.
Around Hefang Mountain, everyone was waiting for an earth-shattering battle, but all they got was a gust of wind. There was nothing.
Zhang Hong Yun suppressed his fear and looked over.
He saw Qing Xing staring at his finger blankly. He couldn't move.
He also saw Lu Yin with his left hand behind his back and his right hand pressed down on the air. He looked indescribably relaxed.
Crack!
The ground beneath his feet cracked.
Qing Xing stared blankly at his finger. It had been suppressed. His Chaotic Ancient Breath Technique had been completely suppressed. The chaos had been forcibly straightened out, and the void was as stable as a mortal facing steel.
What kind of power could actually suppress his finger?
Lu Yin pulled back his hand and looked at his palm. It was really strong. He didn't know what the transformed battle force was. Perhaps the Ancient Gods could give him an answer.
Previously, it had been so easily extinguished by Qing Xing Fan's peerless attack.
Now, it was similarly suppressed by Qing Xing's finger.
This wasn't just a matter of strength; it was a difference in level.
Lu Yin put down his hand and looked at Qing Xing, "Are you done?"
Qing Xing pulled back his hand and looked at Lu Yin. His eyes were still filled with shock and disbelief, "How much of your strength did you use?"
Lu Yin thought for a moment, "Fifty percent." He hadn't used any of those, and saying that it was fifty percent was already a consolation.
But it sounded harsh to Qing Xing's ears.
He thought that he was the limit below immortality, but he couldn't even reach fifty percent of Lu Yin's strength. It was ridiculous.
If Lu Yin had used ninety percent of his strength, Qing Xing could comfort himself with the fact that he had neglected his cultivation all these years. But fifty percent? How could he catch up?
The gap was too big.
He couldn't help but wonder if Lu Yin was really an immortal.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not an immortal."
Lu Yin guessed what he was thinking. Many people in Ninefall Universe had guessed it, but he really wasn't an immortal.
Qing Xing smiled bitterly, "This is the limit below immortality. I'm nothing. Master was wrong."
Lu Yin didn't know what to say. He respected Mijin Shangyu, but Qing Xing was actually the limit below immortality. Yu Sang Tian and the others might not have been able to withstand that finger, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to fight anymore. It was a pity that he had met Lu Yin.
Whether it was the Tianyuan Universe, the spiritualized universe, or Ninefall Universe, Lu Yin's existence was constantly changing people's perceptions. Even a powerhouse like Qing Xing's perception was refreshed.
Lu Yin walked to Cheng Gong's corpse, took off his cosmic ring, and checked it with his blood. There was indeed a void wall.
Cheng Gong had placed all his hopes on Cheng Gong, but they didn't understand the horror of karma.
Looking at Cheng Gong again, Lu Yin made him disappear. The grudge was over.
"Mr. Lu, what else do you want me to pay?" Qing Xing's voice sounded.
Lu Yin looked at him, "If I want to know about He Fang Mountain, can you tell me?"
Qing Xing hesitated, "It's the rule of Ninefall Universe that I can't reveal anything about He Fang Mountain. Besides, I haven't climbed He Fang Mountain, so I don't know what secrets it has."
Lu Yin nodded and didn't ask anymore.
"I can tell you a story. It was told to me by my master."
Lu Yin was curious, "I'm all ears."
Qing Xing looked at He Fangshan and said, "There was once a child who got lost and happened to meet a giant. The two got along very well, but the giant was not welcomed in its tribe and was often beaten up. One day, the giant's tribe found the child and wanted to eat it. The giant who was on good terms with the child took the child and ran away."
"Unfortunately, there were too many giants surrounding them. The child and the giant were trapped in the col, and there were giants in all directions. They couldn't escape."
"Fortunately, the col was very big, and it was impossible for there to be giants in every direction. The child thought of a way to make the giant tie himself to a huge bamboo pole and poke out of the col to see where there were giants and where there weren't. This method allowed the child to find the col where there were no giants guarding, and he successfully escaped with the giant."
Qing Xing finished, and it was a very short story.
However, this had allowed Lu Yin to recognize He Fang Mountain clearly. This mountain was that bamboo pole, which was the source of the battle in the Omnisensory Universe. This was also the purpose of the cultivators who had ascended He Fang Mountain.
Lu Yin looked at He Fang Mountain again, and there was more respect in his eyes.
Regardless of the standpoints of Ninefall Universe and Tianyuan Universe, those who climbed He Fang Mountain and eventually disappeared deserved respect, even if they had their own goals.
Qing Xing looked at He Fang Mountain and sighed, "I'm leaving. I'll never come to He Fang Mountain again."
Lu Yin was surprised, "Why?"
"My master built He Fang Mountain, and I've been guarding it for him. Unfortunately, I can't even verify his words, so how can I guard He Fang Mountain?"
