How could it be?
She was in the Eternal Life Realm. It was almost impossible for an Eternal Life Realm cultivator to change her cultivation system. They had already reached the peak, but Jingmen Shangyu still cultivated the Nirvana Tree technique.
No wonder he wanted her master's cultivation spirit.
She wanted to merge her own cultivation spirit with her master's cultivation spirit.
There were so many people in the Jiuxiao Universe who cultivated the Nirvana Tree technique. Most of them had the idea of having another path to eternal life. Jingmen Shangyu had already achieved eternal life. Her cultivation might not be beneficial.
"Why?" Qing Xing's voice was dry.
Jingmen Shangyu opened his eyes and looked at Mijin Shangyu's tombstone in a daze. "It's really difficult to live."
"Qinglian Shangyu returned with Ku Deng Shangyu. The current Jiuxiao Universe is very powerful," Qing Xing said.
"I am an Eternal Life. There is an undeniable fact in my life."
Jingmen Shangyu looked at Qing Xing. "I will definitely encounter a crisis of certain death. Human civilization will definitely encounter a crisis of civilization."
Qing Xing's eyes flashed. Yes, Eternal Life was different from them.
They could live for a long time, but there would be a day when they died. Once they died, nothing would exist, no civilization, no emotions. Their life was limited.
But Eternal Life was different. If Eternal Life wanted to die, they must experience a crisis of certain death. And in the long eternity, human civilization would inevitably encounter the danger of civilization extinction. This was an undeniable fact.
Normal people only cared about a short life, which was their current life. Cultivators like them were the same. As long as they pursued eternal life, that was their goal.
But Eternal Life Realm looked at their own end, the end of civilization.
They could see the universe more clearly than ordinary people. They knew what would happen, even if they didn't know when that day would come.
Ordinary people didn't need to think about the future of civilization. They might not be able to live until then, but Eternal Life Realm cultivators had to think about it.
Jingmen Shangyu raised his hand and placed it on Mijin Shangyu's tombstone. "The longer you live, the easier you will find it to die. It's a pity that I didn't discuss Dao with Senior Mijin. But to be able to accept his power, my life was not in vain."
Qing Xing watched Jingmen Shangyu's figure disappear. A cold wind blew. She slowly sat in front of Mijin Shangyu's tombstone. "Master, the civilization you protect will not let you down."
…
Under the Mother Tree's crown was the land of Jiuxiao. In a secret place, dust fell on White Bones..... White Bones suddenly looked up.....
"We meet again, Zhu."
"Traitor."
"Don't say that. I just want to live a better life."
"How did you find me?"
"Someone once said something. He said that life is a line, and both ends are extremes. Immortality is the limit, and so is ordinary people. Since you have a Turbid Treasure that even Immortality Realm experts can't detect, then use the perspective of ordinary people to look for clues. You'll find it eventually."
"Just like how ~ you found ~ Heize?"
"You could say that."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
"You don't have the ability, and you don't know how. Do you dare to make a move now?"
After a moment of silence, Bai Gu asked, "What exactly do you want?"
"Your way of contacting the Dead Universe has been destroyed. Now, the Continent of the Nine Clouds controls the spiritual treasure. You'll never be able to contact the Dead Universe. You'll be found sooner or later. Since it's that way, you should leave the Continent of the Nine Clouds."
"Leave?"
"Yes, Dead Silence is the enemy of the entire human civilization. Once they find you, no one will show mercy. I'm also the enemy of the human civilization, and there's an old enemy who's been looking for me. It's hard for me to hide, so I should leave while I can."
"Where do you want to go?"
"Your hometown."
Bai Gu looked at the eyes above its head, and the eyes looked down. The two looked at each other.
One couldn't tell what Bai Gu was thinking. It didn't even have eyes. There were only two black holes, and the expression of the eyes couldn't be seen. They were scarlet vertical eyes.
"You want to go to the Dead Universe?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because I also belong to the Dead Universe."
At the end of its words, the eyes sunk, and the flesh around them tore apart, revealing eerie white bones that were sticky with blood. It was terrifying.
…
In the Tianyuan Universe, Lu Yin returned to the Above Heaven Sect. He was rather tired.
Master Qing Cao was gone, and no one knew where he had gone. Over the past year, Lu Yin and Progenitor Chen had been searching, hoping to find the hidden unknown through Master Qing Cao. Even though Lu Yin knew that it would be difficult to get an answer from Master Qing Cao, he still wanted to give Progenitor Chen some hope.
But now, even Master Qing Cao couldn't be found.
Actually, it was better if he couldn't be found.
Lu Yin had asked Master Qing Cao several times, but Master Qing Cao wouldn't say anything. If Progenitor Chen encountered Master Qing Cao, Master Qing Cao might act on impulse.
As for Wang Xiaoyu, the moment she lost control of her emotions, it was destined that no one could change her fate. Only that mysterious unknown could determine her life or death. Even if Master Qing Cao acted, it would still be the same.
Over the past year, Lu Yin had been constantly divining himself to see if there was anyone else in the Tian Yuan Universe who was plotting against him.
There wasn't anyone, and he couldn't find anyone.
This should be a good thing, as at least no one was plotting against him. However, it also made Lu Yin uneasy. If there was someone who could avoid his karmic divinations, then that person would be a true enemy. For example, that mysterious unknown.
The Tian Yuan Universe wasn't completely without enemies.
"Master." Hui Can arrived at the back mountain of the Above Heaven Sect and bowed respectfully to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin grunted in acknowledgment and sized up Hui Can. "Your cultivation has improved quite well."
"Thank you for your praise, Master." Hui Can was delighted.
This child didn't need much supervision. He had experienced many hardships, and his will was tenacious. His methods were also ruthless, and he was very similar to Lu Yin.
"Tell me what you've been doing during this time."
Since Hui Can was his disciple, Lu Yin couldn't just ignore him. Even though his status as a disciple had allowed them to obtain glory in the Tian Yuan Universe, Lu Yin wouldn't hold back if they used this status to commit atrocities.
Hui Can respectfully recounted everything that had happened since he had left the Above Heaven Sect. Lu Yin listened quietly, as if he was listening to a story.
Everyone had their own stories, and countless stories connected together to form a civilization.
Looking at Hui Can reminded Lu Yin of Progenitor Hui and Mi Jin Yu. They had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the civilization that their predecessors had opened up.
Hui Can spoke for half a day, and during this time, Long Xi brewed a cup of tea for him. Hui Can respectfully accepted it.
Long Xi naturally sat down at the stone table and listened with interest.
Hui Can's attitude towards Long Xi was even more respectful than Lu Yin's, as if he was looking at his master's wife.
Even though he had once hated the Four Cardinal Scales, that was now a thing of the past.
"What about Tuo Lin?
How is he? "
Lu Yin thought of his other disciple. To be honest, that disciple made him feel guilty. After all, they had teamed up to deceive him.
Hui Can was speechless at the mention of Tuo Lin. "Senior Brother is still the same, traveling the universe. He's … he's quite happy."
He didn't know how to tell Lu Yin. Was Tuo Lin crazy?
Was he talking to himself while carrying a statue?
Was he possessed by Lu Yin's sincerity?
He couldn't say this, as it would make him feel awkward.
They were both disciples, but Tuo Lin was so respectful to his master. What about himself?
In comparison, it was better not to say anything.
Furthermore, he couldn't let his master know that Tuo Lin had gone crazy and talked to himself all day. Otherwise, he would be punished.
Lu Yin knew that Tuo Lin was fine, but he didn't know what to say to that disciple.
Continue lying?
Or tell the truth?
Back then, he had lied to Tuo Lin that he was the savior and that he had to examine his heart before teaching him to cultivate. After so many years, Tuo Lin couldn't cultivate at all.
Even the Nirvana Tree couldn't help someone who had never cultivated before.
Now, facing Tuo Lin, if Tuo Lin asked him when to cultivate, how would he answer?
Did he fail to examine his heart?
Lu Yin couldn't say this. Tuo Lin was too engrossed in reading and was extremely respectful to him. He really didn't want to lie to such a child.
He could only let Tuo Lin grow old slowly and live a peaceful life as the Above Heaven Sect's young master.
"If you have nothing to do, go find your senior brother. Don't let him be bullied." Lu Yin instructed.
Hui Can heaved a sigh of relief. "Yes, disciple will take care of senior brother." He then left.
Long Xi put away the teacup. "Your disciples all have different personalities. That Tuo Lin is the most pitiful. Is he really unable to cultivate?"
Lu Yin nodded. "His meridians are fake. He's just like a shell."
Long Xi sighed and left without saying anything.
Lu Yin looked at the starry sky. Could a shell really not be able to cultivate?
As long as any creature existed, it meant that it was reasonable. Since it was reasonable, it could cultivate.
Even a machine could have higher abilities by changing its parts, let alone a human.
Tuo Lin didn't have meridians, but his brain was good. After all, he had read for so many years. Perhaps he could cultivate his consciousness?
"Reporting to Master Lu, Jiang Qi is here." The Second Nightking's voice rang out.
"Let him in."
Jiang Qi was a very strange person. He could shield himself from karma and make it detour.
Lu Yin had studied Jiang Qi when he had added him to Wu Jiang. Later on, he had tried to see through Jiang Qi, but he couldn't.
Besides ignoring karma, Jiang Qi was no different from an ordinary person.
He thought that he was afraid of sunlight, but he was actually afraid of the karma wall.
After coming to the Tian Yuan Universe, this situation had eased a lot, but he was still willing to curl up under his blanket out of habit.
Lu Yin had asked someone to bring Jiang Qi to the Above Heaven Sect. He wanted to see what was so special about this person.
He had originally planned to ask Qinglian Yu, but so many things had happened and he had discussed it with Qinglian Yu for a long time. He had forgotten about it.
"G-greetings, Master Lu." Jiang Qi trembled under the blanket as he bowed.
Lu Yin was amused. "Are you still that afraid of me?"
"N-no, Master Lu is very good," Jiang Qi said dryly.
Long Xi came in and looked at Jiang Qi strangely. She then placed the teacup under the blanket.
Jiang Qi subconsciously retreated. "N-sorry, the blanket is dirty."
Long Xi looked at Lu Yin in confusion.
Lu Yin nodded and had Long Xi step back.
"Jiang Qi, is there anyone in the Tian Yuan Universe who is afraid of sunlight?"
"N-no."
"Then why are you still wrapped in a blanket?"
"It's cold."
Lu Yin was speechless.
This explanation was flawless.
