Although Mister Mu was not an Eternal Life Realm expert, like him, he could surpass the Life Realm and fight against an Eternal Life Realm expert. After all, Mu Zhu had said that Mister Mu had given the enemy an Eternal Life Realm expert a hard time, but he did not know how hard it was.
Now that Mister Mu had sunk into the river of time, was he preparing to break through to the Eternal Life Realm?
It would be great if that was the case.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. "I hope Master can break through to the Eternal Life Realm, and the Tian Yuan Universe will be safe."
Lu Yuan nodded. "We hope so too. By the way, Xiao Qi, have you thought about what talent I will give you?"
Lu Yin was stunned, then he remembered that Lu Yuan's ancestral world was a fertile land. It had no offensive or defensive abilities, but it could be nurtured.
The God Investiture Catalog and the General Appointment Platform were nurtured.
After the ancestor broke through to the Primordial Realm, he could nurture a third talent.
The ancestor had always kept the third talent, waiting for Lu Yin to choose. He had given his life to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was moved. "Ancestor, you can choose according to your own ideas. You don't have to nurture a talent for me."
Lu Yuan shook his head. "I don't have any ideas. I've lived a muddle-headed life. When I was young, I fought and stirred up trouble everywhere. When I grew up, I looked for trouble with whoever I didn't like. Now that I've experienced so many things, I'm strong enough to contribute to the matters that I need to contribute to. For those that I don't need to contribute, having another talent is useless. But for you, if I can nurture a talent for you, it might transform you."
Lu Yin thought about it. "Okay, I'll think about it."
"Haha, no hurry. Anyway, you're back. There's plenty of time."
"This battle was great. Even the Eternal Life Realm expert was defeated. We old guys might break through again. Hahaha." Lu Yuan laughed and left.
Lu Yin looked at Lu Yuan's back as he left. Break through?
Yes, it was time to break through.
In the past, the Three Realms and Six Paths were all top geniuses, but because of the ancestor's suppression, they had delayed the time to break through to the Primordial Realm, which was taken advantage of by the Eternals. Now that they had accumulated enough and experienced the battle with the Eternal Life Realm expert, it was only natural for them to break through.
If the Three Realms and Six Paths could break through to the Bitter Calamity Realm, or even the Complete Bitter Calamity Realm, the strength of the Tian Yuan Universe would rise completely.
He also had the Nirvana Tree. Although it was not as fast as the Nine Clouds Universe, it was still a new direction for the cultivators of the Tian Yuan Universe. It was different from the cultivation methods of the Tian Yuan Universe and the Nine Clouds Universe.
It was easier for strong cultivators to be born in the Continent of the Nine Clouds, while it was easier for the unknown to be born in the Tian Yuan Universe.
He wanted to make up for the limits of the future that had been weakened by the spiritualized universe and let the human civilization shine.
He wanted to see how many fishing civilizations would dare to cause trouble in this area.
The hive civilization was definitely not the last one.
Lu Yin returned to the Heaven Origin Universe, where his surroundings gradually turned gray. He froze time as streams of light shuttled back and forth around him. With a wave of his hand, time reversed, and the River of Time appeared.
In the Mirage Domain, the River of Time was connected to the Tian Yuan Universe. A tattered boat floated down the river and gradually entered Lu Yin's sight.
Lu Yin looked at the boat and spoke slowly, "Zhao Ran, are you alright? I'm back."
Zhao Ran walked out of the boat and stood on the deck, looking at Lu Yin calmly.
Although she seemed calm, Lu Yin could sense that she was much more relaxed.
The Insectoid Nest had attacked the Tian Yuan Universe, and if not for Zhao Ran's help and Jiang Feng's help against Zhan Yongsheng, the Tian Yuan Universe would not have survived until Lu Yin's return.
Zhao Ran looked at Lu Yin but did not say anything. She wanted to return to the boat.
Lu Yin said, "I'm going to the Mirage Domain. Let's hitch a ride."
"Up to you."
Zhao Ran spoke, her voice still so familiar. It reminded Lu Yin of the past, of the girl who liked to brew flower tea. Her eyes were always lost, but she still remembered him.
Back when Zhao Ran had returned to her position as the ferryman of the River of Time, Lu Yin had been reprimanded for using the River of Time. She had said that he would be punished for doing so. Now, she did not mention this at all.
As for entering the Mirage Domain, Lu Yin had not been able to do so in the past. Without Wei Nu's help, he would not have been able to enter. Now, with the explosive increase in time, he could directly go against the flow of the River of Time.
She could not stop him. However, Zhao Ran was now the ferryman of the River of Time. He did not care about Wei Nu, but he cared about Zhao Ran, so he had to greet her.
Lu Yin took a step forward, stepping onto a ray of light as he boarded the boat.
Zhao Ran sat on the boat's deck.
The surrounding space disappeared, and the River of Time returned to the Mirage Domain.
Lu Yin looked at the shore. "Is Wei Nu not here?"
"She ran away."
"Afraid of me?"
"Of course."
Lu Yin stood on the deck and looked down. "Is my master in the river?"
Zhao Ran grunted. "She sank, but I don't know what she's doing."
Lu Yin looked at the bottom of the river and then back at Zhao Ran. "Do you still like to brew flower tea?"
Zhao Ran looked up and met Lu Yin's gaze. She did not answer and fell silent.
Lu Yin felt helpless. Her appearance had not changed, her voice had not changed, and her heart towards the Tian Yuan Universe had not changed. However, she had changed.
Flowing light flashed as Lu Yin stepped onto the shore. He looked at the Karma Forbidden Zone and walked over.
In the past, he had not been able to tell that the Karma Forbidden Zone was clearly a forest. It was a very ordinary forest, but the fruits of these trees were karma.
In this forest, karma existed as if it were air.
This was a space that used karma as its soil and karma as its nourishment.
Lu Yin stepped in, and karma immediately wrapped around him.
The first time he had entered this place, he had been drawn into a cycle of karma. He had experienced the past again and again, and he had seen the fruits of his own appearance and his own child, Xiao-Xiaoxuan.
At this moment, his heart ached once more.
He clearly did not have that child, but his love and heartache for the child truly existed.
The cycle of karma. What was real and what was fake?
If a person spent their entire life in an illusion, would that illusion still be fake to them?
A tree appeared in front of him, bearing a fruit that looked exactly like him.
Lu Yin looked at the fruit. It was it again.
The first time he had entered, he had been the fruit. He had comprehended karma and plucked the fruit. Now, he was looking at this fruit again. Was what he had experienced real or fake?
Lu Yin stared at the fruit in a daze.
The fruit slowly opened its eyes and met his gaze.
The two stared at each other for an unknown amount of time. Eventually, Lu Yin sighed and waved his hand. The karma dissipated, the tree vanished, and the fruit disappeared as well.
He believed that he had comprehended quite a bit about karma, but he was still far from it. However, he could not comprehend more at this moment. It was just a feeling.
He could not comprehend much here, but the scene from before was buried deep in his heart. One day, it would resurface and allow him to think clearly about reality.
The Karma Forbidden Zone was called a forbidden zone, but it could not stop Lu Yin at all.
He saw this place clearly.
Not long after, he arrived in front of the Desolate Ancestor.
The Desolate Ancestor had once tried to reverse karma and caused the karma in the forbidden zone to seal him, which helped him remove Master Grass's seal. Now, Lu Yin wanted to help the Desolate Ancestor out.
"Senior, I'm back." Lu Yin stood in front of the Desolate Ancestor and bowed deeply.
The Desolate Ancestor sat cross-legged in front of him, his karma sealed like a small mountain.
The Desolate Ancestor could speak, but he did not speak when Lu Yin called out to him.
Lu Yin stared at the Desolate Ancestor and noticed something strange. The Desolate Ancestor was changing.
How should he put it? When he had tried to reverse karma in the forbidden zone, he had felt like he had committed treason, which had caused the karma in the forbidden zone to seal him. However, as time passed, the karma should have gradually decreased. This was because the so-called treason had only happened at that time. That was when he had been sealed the most karma, and it had decreased as time passed.
But why had it increased?
It was as if the Desolate Ancestor had some kind of stickiness that constantly attracted the karma.
Lu Yin stared at the Desolate Ancestor. What had happened?
If he wanted to save the Desolate Ancestor, it would be very simple. All he had to do was remove the karma. Lu Yin could do it, but he was not in a hurry to act. The Desolate Ancestor seemed to have his own plans.
The Desolate Ancestor had used some kind of method to pull the karma away.
Yes, it was pulling.
Lu Yin stared at the Desolate Ancestor for a long time. Would things turn in the opposite direction when they reached an extreme?
It originated from the Desolate Ancestor, and it also transformed from him.
The Desolate Ancestor had also walked the path of karma, but it was different from Lu Yin's.
Lu Yin bowed to the Desolate Ancestor again and turned to leave. There was no need to interfere. This was the Desolate Ancestor's choice, and he had his own path.
Lu Yin looked forward to the day the Desolate Ancestor came out. He wanted to see what his path of karma was.
Next, Lu Yin tried to absorb the karma in the forbidden zone, but he was disappointed. He could not do it.
The karma was like the Great Karmic Phenomenon, and it seemed to belong to someone else.
He could not directly take it for himself.
Or rather, he did not have the ability to steal the karma of others.
He walked around the forbidden grounds and saw everything clearly. However, he couldn't find the source of this karma. Helpless, he could only leave the forbidden grounds. He couldn't waste time now. If this path didn't work, he had to take another path.
Before leaving, he bid farewell to the Desolate Ancestor.
He walked out of the forbidden zone and looked at the River of Time. "There is also a ferrywoman in the River of Time in the Ninth Heaven Universe. I will ask her how to help you walk out of the River of Time and bring you home."
He had thought of this when he was in the Ninth Heaven Universe. He had wanted to ask, but too many things had happened, one after another. It also involved the origin of the Great Master, so he had not asked.
Zhao Ran looked at the shore. "No need. I belong to the River of Time. This is my home."
Lu Yin said, "The Above Heaven Sect is your home too. You should go home and take a look. The flowers you raised are still there. You can't keep asking others to water them." He then tore through the void and left.
Zhao Ran looked at the empty shore. Flowers?
When Lu Yin returned to the Above Heaven Sect, a bell rang throughout the universe.
Countless people bowed to the Above Heaven Sect. "Welcome, Master Lu."
"Welcome, Master Lu."
"Welcome …"
Countless voices echoed throughout the universe.
Lu Yin stood on the Sky Stairway and looked at the stars. He flicked his finger, and a ripple of power spread through the stars, killing all the insects that came into contact with it.
The power spread wider and wider, and it was as if the entire universe was a flat surface.
In an instant, the Tianyuan Universe was cleared.
Only the insects that had escaped to the parallel universe were left.
New.
