Lu Yin listened to the drumbeats and saw Qiunan Hongye's stubborn expression. She had the courage to face the endless number of fully sensed lifeforms without retreating. He wasn't afraid, but he didn't want to fight without knowing what was going on. He also didn't want to fall into someone else's trap.
But Ming Zhuo's words made it impossible for him to leave even if he wanted to. Even if he forcefully took Xiao Zhu back, how could he establish himself in the Continent of the Nine Clouds in the future?
He had become the fourth cultivator of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, and now he had escaped. It was the most humiliating thing in the history of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. It would be a stain on his name forever.
Nine Heavens Universe?
Indeed, it was too small. A giant wanted to see how many enemies there were outside of the mountain. There were too many. Every cultivator who had seen the universe through He Fang Mountain felt hopeless. They had seen the universe outside of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. It was much crueler than the outside world.
"I've been through many wars and faced many desperate situations, but I've survived them all."
Lu Yin looked at Ming Zhuo and Yu. "Because at that time, I was fighting against the Tian Yuan Universe and the humans."
"Today, we'll fight against the Nine Firmaments. I don't believe that the Omnipotent Universe can keep us here."
Ming Zhuo laughed. "Alright, I was just waiting for you to say the word. With your strength, the Omniscient Universe is nothing."
"Mister Lu, you're from the Tian Yuan Universe. You've only been in the Continent of the Nine Clouds for a short time, but you're willing to fight for the Continent of the Nine Clouds. I admire your spirit."
Lu Yin had no other choice. If it was possible, he would have dragged a few Night Pillars back with him. Wasn't he being forced here?
"Generally speaking, when the war is too tragic, the Eternal Life Realm is the one to provide support. This time, it's you, Junior Brother. I believe you won't disappoint the Ninth Heaven and destroy the All-Feeling Universe." Ming Zhuo was excited.
Lu Yin looked at the tunnel, "We still don't know who the enemy is. The sentient creatures and those flowers might not be the real enemy. It's better to investigate first."
"Let's go together. We can help you find the location of the flowers."
"That's right. It's best not to alarm those flowers. I'm not afraid of being surrounded, but I'm afraid that something will run away."
Lu Yin nodded. Since he had made up his mind, he would not hesitate.
The three of them instructed all the cultivators, and Lu Yin purposely left the wireless Gu for easy communication.
Wireless Gu could connect through parallel space-time, as long as they were in the same universe, it was more sensitive than any other communication tool, but it could not transmit sound or images.
Not long after, the three of them passed through the passage and entered the parallel space-time again.
"The full-sensory creatures are coming over. Get ready to attack," Yu reminded.
Lu Yin stopped her. "There's no need for that. It'll cause too much of a commotion. This is a search, so don't make any noise."
How could he deal with a fully-sensory creature if he didn't make a move?
Under Ming Zhuo and Yu's puzzled gazes, Lu Yin's consciousness covered the two of them. "You just need to calm your mind."
How could he calm down? As soon as he thought of this, he inexplicably calmed down.
Yu also calmed down and stared at Lu Yin in disbelief.
Lu Yin made a shushing gesture at the two of them. "Find the nearest flower. I'll use karma to take a look."
The two suppressed their shock and brought Lu Yin to the largest flower they had ever seen.
A single sentence was enough to calm the two of them. What kind of power was this?
Karma shouldn't be like this, right?
At this moment, the two of them had a new understanding of Lu Yin's strength. Just how strong was this person?
Could it be that the reinforcements he sent were really comparable to those in the Eternal Life Realm?
Soon, with the two of them leading the way, the three of them kept making turns, sometimes avoiding the front and sometimes stopping. Finally, they arrived in front of the six glowing stars. "There's a flower here. It's not smaller than the one blocking the entrance. It's located in the center of the star."
Lu Yin nodded and a spiral appeared at his fingertips. With a wave of his hand, he used karma.
He wanted to see what these flowers were.
When karma pierced through the flowers, Lu Yin saw full-sensory creatures.
He was surprised. How could this be?
Were those flowers full-sensory creatures?
They were clearly two different species.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yin told them what he saw. Ming Zhuo and Yu were surprised. "Flowers and full-sensory creatures. Aren't they two different things?
Could these flowers have been planted by full-sensory creatures? "
"It's possible," Lu Yin said.
Karma looked at the origin and the past. Seeing a full-sensory creature didn't mean that these flowers were full-sensory creatures. They could have been planted by a full-sensory creature. Of course, this explanation was a bit far-fetched, but it was much easier to understand than the previous one.
"Continue."
Lu Yin had Ming Zhuo and the others continue to search for flowers while he continuously used karma to search for different origins and pasts.
He used karma again and again to search, but they had long since left the tunnel.
Several months passed without them noticing. One day, Ming Zhuo and Yu cried out in surprise when they saw a giant flower that was twice as large as the one in the tunnel. They quickly brought Lu Yin over.
Lu Yin used karma again, and this time, he saw something different.
He saw a conical sky that was both clear and blurry. It pierced into the flower as if it was trying to extract something.
Lu Yin tried his best to see the image clearly, but it only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
He used karma again, but he either saw a full-sensory creature or the same image.
Why was the sky conical?
He suddenly thought of the seven karma funnels of the spiritualized universe. They were so similar, and he couldn't help but look at Ming Zhuo. "Senior, is this full-sensory universe really an unknown universe?"
Ming Zhuo nodded. "Of course. What's wrong?"
Lu Yin's gaze was heavy. "Nothing. I'm just asking." He then continued using karma, hoping to see something different.
They stayed in front of this flower for a month, but aside from those two images, they didn't see anything else.
Before this, Lu Yin and the others had also landed on a glowing planet, but there was nothing special about it.
In Lu Yin's eyes, this starry sky was adorned with planets, as if the stars of the night sky had been pulled closer. However, to Ming Zhuo and the others, this was a garden, and those planets were more like flowers.
Soon, a year passed, and Lu Yin and the others found a new tunnel. They didn't hesitate and followed it into a new parallel spacetime. The same scene appeared before them: glowing planets and flowers that covered the sky.
"Hurry up and get out of the way." Ming Zhuo and Yu pulled Lu Yin back.
In their eyes, the flower petals had closed up.
Lu Yin frowned, as not being able to see was really troublesome. However, they had already been here for a year, and he would be able to see it in another year.
"This parallel spacetime is also filled with flowers. Let's keep looking and see if there are any new tunnels."
This time, they didn't look for flowers, as it was useless even if they did. Lu Yin used the Mother Tree's karma to use karma, and all he saw was the Mother Tree being dragged into a tunnel.
Not long after, they found another tunnel that was specifically designed to speed things up.
They followed the tunnel into a new parallel spacetime, where there were still glowing stars and flowers.
After a while, Lu Yin took out the wireless gu and contacted the Fifth Night Pillar, "The full-sensory lifeforms have a new attack channel. It's consciousness."
The Fifth Night Pillar's people knew about it, and so did Ming Zhuo and Yu.
Their hearts sank; had they evolved so quickly?
"It's related to me. My consciousness kept spreading and avoided the flowers, but I couldn't avoid the full-sensory lifeforms. There are too many of them."
Ming Zhuo said, "With such a fast evolution speed, if it connects to the Ninth Heaven Universe, it won't be long before humans have an attack channel everywhere."
This reminded him of Greed, a metal that could grow indefinitely. As long as it was given enough time, it could theoretically spread throughout the entire universe. It had brought disaster to the Primordial Space's fourth continent, and if it hadn't been resolved early, the Primordial Space would have been in trouble.
In fact, Greed couldn't grow for long unless it encountered a space without intelligent lifeforms.
In that case, was this full-sensory lifeform able to reproduce to this day because there weren't any powerful intelligent lifeforms in this universe?
There were intelligent lifeforms in this universe, but unfortunately, they weren't strong enough to deal with full-sensory lifeforms.
Time continued to pass. Spacetime was vast, and even powerhouses like Lu Yin could easily cross spacetime. However, it was very troublesome to search through spacetime, especially after the consciousness became the attack channel of a full-sensory lifeform.
Another year passed.
On this day, Lu Yin saw flowers that covered the entire starry sky. They were beautiful, dangerously beautiful.
"No need to point, I can see them," Lu Yin said.
Ming Zhuo said, "It really was two years. If you stay in a spacetime with flowers, you can see them in two years."
Lu Yin's expression was heavy. If he could see them in two years, it meant that the flowers were affecting him. If these flowers could affect him, then there had to be something terrifying behind them.
During these two years, they had searched dozens of parallel spacetimes, and every parallel spacetime had flowers. Only the main spacetime had none. This confirmed their conjecture, even though it made them feel cold all over.
The full-sensory lifeforms were hiding. They hid the flowers from the main spacetime and hid the Mother Tree. Just like the Ninth Heaven Universe, they didn't want to be discovered by creatures from other universes.
This full-sensory universe was also hiding, and it knew its limits.
This meant that there was an extremely intelligent lifeform behind it that had a clear understanding of the universe.
This was unusual.
"Looking at the outer universes that we've explored, most of them don't have a clear understanding of the universe. Even the Garnersky Universe doesn't. This full-sensory universe actually knows how to hide." Ming Zhuo's expression was heavy. "We underestimated them."
Yu said, "Have you ever thought that maybe these flowers and the full-sensory lifeforms don't belong to the full-sensory universe?"
Lu Yin raised his brows. "Are you saying that the original full-sensory universe lifeform was destroyed?"
"It's possible," Yu said.
Ming Zhuo agreed. "This full-sensory universe lifeform might be the same as the Garnersky Universe and the Garnersky Universe. They lack a clear understanding of the universe, but they have a clear understanding of the universe's original lifeform. Thus, they destroyed this universe's lifeform, hid the Mother Tree, and hid themselves, leaving only the full-sensory lifeform outside."
"Those full-sensory lifeforms might not have been left outside. They might have run out on their own."
"The problem now is that we can't find the full-sensory lifeform or the thing behind those flowers."
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "Kill them. Kill them until they come out."
Ming Zhuo and Yu agreed. They had searched for two years, but they still didn't know how many channels there were. The full-sensory lifeforms were endless, and the flowers covered the sky. This meant that these lifeforms had existed for too long, and it would be impossible to find them without tens of thousands of years.
Lu Yin waved his hand, and the sky was split in two. Ming Zhuo and Yu, who were about to attack, were stunned. This destructive power was terrifying.
