The karma of Lu Yuan and the others could not compare to that of an Eternal Realm cultivator.
Lu Yin would only feel safe if he could restore the Karma Heavenly Path.
He could use it at any time under the Karma Heavenly Path.
However, now that Azure Lotus Emperor had returned, he felt a little embarrassed to use the Karma Heavenly Path again.
Azure Lotus Emperor smiled. "It's settled then. When you return to Jiuxiao, I'll give you the seven emotions."
Lu Yin's heart warmed. Return?
Well, the Jiuxiao Universe had also acknowledged him.
…
In a parallel universe of the Tianyuan Universe, a group of strange-looking cultivators lined up to roam the universe.
These cultivators were all space-exploring cultivators, and they were chatting and laughing.
Suddenly, a figure flashed past and scattered the cultivators, falling toward a distant planet.
"Who is it?"
"Senior, it's a woman."
"I saw her. Let's go and take a look."
At that moment, a red figure flew past the cultivators and headed toward the planet.
The cultivators looked at each other. "It's a sword."
"It's red."
"Chase!"
Soon, the cultivators landed on the planet. There were creatures on this planet, and they were complex. They were extremely ferocious and did not have much intelligence.
They quickly found the sword and the woman in white.
On the grassland, the woman in white was shuttling back and forth, her face pale. Behind her, the red sword flashed again and again, leaving wounds on the surface of her body.
The woman in white screamed, "I didn't mean to reveal it! I didn't say anything!"
The red sword flashed past, and the woman's shoulder was torn apart. Her body crashed to the ground.
"Why didn't you kill Lu Yin?
Why did you look for me? I only told him to find the sword. I didn't say anything else. "
Another streak of blood streaked across.
The woman in white could not block the red sword at all, but the sword was not in a hurry to kill her. It seemed to be torturing her, but also playing with her.
"I'll go back to the River of Time. I don't want anything. Let me go back, okay?"
Her back was torn apart by the sword, and blood stained the ground.
In the distance, the cultivators were furious. "This is too much. Killing people is nothing. This kind of torture is clearly despicable. Junior brothers, follow me to kill the enemy."
"Let's go."
"Kill!"
A group of cultivators rushed over. Suddenly, the sky and earth turned gray. Everything stopped. The wind, the grass, the dust, everything stopped. Only the movements of those cultivators were completed abnormally slowly. Their speed was a hundred times slower.
Their eyes slowly moved downwards as they stared at their own bodies in a daze. How could this be?
In their eyes, it was very easy for the red sword to chase after the white-clothed woman, and they didn't sense any powerful force. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to interfere.
But what was going on now?
This situation was beyond their understanding.
Had time stopped?
However, they were still moving, and the speed of the woman in white was still the same as before. The world turned gray, and only the white and red flickered, as well as the blood that spilled onto the ground.
Nothing could stop that from happening.
The actions of these cultivators were laughable and contradictory.
They could not explain it.
At this moment, the woman in white rushed over and passed by them, heading out of the planet.
The red sword pierced through and disappeared.
It was only after they left that the world returned to normal. The group of cultivators completed their previous actions in an instant, but they couldn't control their bodies and nearly fell over.
When they looked back, their faces turned ghastly pale.
"Remember, don't tell anyone about this. Always hide it in your heart," the senior shouted.
Everyone gulped. Even if he didn't remind them, they wouldn't say anything. It was too strange.
In the starry sky, the white-clothed woman was Wei Nu.
Ever since she left the mirage domain, she had been chased by the red sword. She couldn't return to the mirage domain even if she wanted to.
That sword clearly had the ability to kill her easily, but it was slowly tormenting her.
The reason was that she had allowed Lu Yin to find this red sword.
She knew too much.
"I won't say anything. I won't say anything. I have value in keeping me alive. I'll help you deal with Lu Yin and watch over him."
The red sword suddenly pierced through Wei Nu's neck and disappeared.
Wei Nu stared at the starry sky in a daze, her vision gradually turning gray.
Her past life flashed by. She was the ferryman of the River of Time. In order to break free from the River of Time and step into eternal life, she had tricked fate into entering a forbidden land and used a clone to settle the situation. Everything she had done was to break free from the River of Time. She didn't want to continue being a ferryman.
But now, what she wanted to do most was to return to the River of Time and live a carefree life.
She missed that boat.
But the boat belonged to Zhao Ran.
She had broken free from the River of Time, but she had also broken free from her own life.
The moment Zhao Ran picked up the oar, she had lost her value.
Only now did she realize that she was still alive because there was no one in the River of Time. In fact, she could have died when Zhao Ran was ferrying the River of Time.
She knew too much.
At this moment, the person she wanted to see the most was Zhao Ran. If she had another chance, she would want to hold the oar again.
She could sing very well.
It was clearly just a clone, but it was more valuable than her. It was just a clone.
Why was it like this?
She closed her eyes, and the world fell into darkness.
When a person died, would the universe still exist?
The universe existed for her. If she died, there would be nothing left.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes again. Her gaze was completely different from before. It was unfamiliar and somewhat lost.
She touched her neck. "So this is the fatal wound. You're really stupid. You created multiple clones that are more valuable than you. When a clone surpasses you, the more you know, the more miserable your death will be."
She was still Wei Nu, but her voice had changed. It became softer and more ethereal.
There was a smile in her eyes, as if that fatal wound didn't affect her at all. She looked up at the sky. "Brother Xiaoxuan, I'm back."
…
The moment Wei Nu closed her eyes, Zhao Ran looked up from within the mirage domain and stared at the River of Time in confusion.
She fiddled with the oar and opened the mirage domain to look for Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was drinking tea at the back of the Above Heaven Sect, thinking about when he would go to Jiuxiao to reap his karma. When he saw that Zhao Ran was looking for him, he entered the mirage domain.
"What?
Wei Nu disappeared? "Lu Yin was shocked.
Zhao Ran said, "I lost the feeling I had for her."
"Could she have gone to a parallel universe?"
"The River of Time isn't limited to parallel universes."
Lu Yin fell silent.
"She should be dead," Zhao Ran said.
Lu Yin looked at her. "Does her death affect you?"
Zhao Ran shook her head. "She can fuse with us or separate us. As for me, she definitely won't fuse with me because I'm the ferryman of the River of Time. Everything she did was to escape the river and obtain freedom."
"And to break through to eternal life," Lu Yin said.
Zhao Ran nodded.
Lu Yin rubbed his head. Wei Nu's death was too sudden. Wei Nu knew many things, especially about that red sword. Wait, could she have been killed by that red sword?
Killed by that mysterious Unknown Being?
She had been fine before, but she had been forced by Lu Yin to reveal the red sword, which had led to her death.
It wasn't impossible.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. If that was the case, then that mysterious unknown had been watching the mirage domain all along.
Previously, when he had tried to use karma to calculate himself, he had been cut off by the red sword. That unknown had blinded his vision and prevented him from finding the person who had plotted against him. The God of Forgetfulness and the others couldn't find anyone either.
This wouldn't do.
This was the Tian Yuan Universe, and even an Eternal Realm cultivator couldn't fool him.
Lu Yin returned to the Above Heaven Sect and headed for the border gate.
At this moment, the border gate was once again guarded by the Above Heaven Sect. This time, it was Ce Wangtian.
He had come willingly, but he had no choice. Big Sis was watching him closely, so he could only escape here.
"Master Lu, why are you here?"
Ce Wangtian stepped forward and bowed. Other than Lu Yuan and a few others, everyone else had to bow to Lu Yin, no matter how senior they were. This was a form of respect for the Master of the Tian Yuan Universe.
Lu Yin asked Ce Wangtian to lead everyone away while he released his Karma Heavenly Dao and used the Tian Yuan Universe's karma to fuse with the Karma Celestial Phenomenon to search for Azure Lotus Defender.
In the Nine Heavens Universe, Azure Lotus Defender was puzzled. The two had just spoken, and he didn't know why Lu Yin was looking for him again.
Above the Karma Celestial Phenomenon, two karma figures condensed.
"Senior, the ferrywoman of the Tian Yuan Universe's River of Time, Wei Nu, has died …"
Lu Yin told Azure Lotus Defender about Wei Nu's situation, and Azure Lotus Defender's expression turned serious. "Indeed, it seems like she has been silenced. That Wei Nu should know who the hidden unknown is."
"That's why I want to ask for your help to find that unknown," Lu Yin said.
Azure Lotus Defender looked at Lu Yin. "If it was that easy, I would have done it long ago. But without a reason, I can't calculate that unknown's location."
Lu Yin said, "Karma Celestial Phenomenon. I'm trying to find the person who plotted against me."
Azure Lotus Defender's eyes brightened. "I see. You used this method to find Wei Nu?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Senior, you can't do it because you can't find the power of karma that can surpass the Karma Celestial Phenomenon and borrow it. But I can do it."
"Since that unknown exists, it must have plotted against me or is plotting against me. I can definitely find some clues."
Azure Lotus Defender nodded. "That's possible, but are you prepared?
If the unknown is really found, can you fight against it?
Let me remind you, the Nine Heavens Universe is far from the Tian Yuan Universe. Although I can attack the Tian Yuan Universe, I won't be by your side. Every one of the unknown is a top-notch expert. If you are in danger, I may not be able to save you. "
Lu Yin hesitated. He had wanted to find the unknown in a moment of impulse, but Azure Lotus Defender's words did remind him.
No matter how powerful Azure Lotus Defender was, the Nine Heavens Universe and the Tian Yuan Universe were too far apart. Besides, what kind of existence was the unknown?
It was the fishing civilization, the greatest enemy in human history. In the Nine Heavens Universe, it was an existence that was on par with the Death Universe.
If he really fought against the unknown, would he be able to survive?
He wasn't prepared to face the unknown.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yin said, "Why is that unknown hiding?"
Azure Lotus Defender frowned and shook his head to show that he didn't know.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Can it be understood that it's not an enemy?"
