Xingfan retracted her gaze. Her grudge with Lu Yin was the most humiliating thing in her life. That battle had pulled her down from her lofty status as the Lower God of Defense.
She did not dare to hold any grudges against Lu Yin.
Now that Lu Yin's status had risen, she dared not hold any grudges against him.
She hated it when people mentioned this. If not for the fact that this toad was useful, she would have skinned it alive.
At this moment, a green lotus leaf floated over from afar.
Xingfan and Xingtoad looked over.
It was the Heaven Carrying Immortality on the leaf.
Xingfan's gaze changed when she saw the Heaven Carrying Immortality. She stood up respectfully.
The other party was an immortal.
Xingtoad, on the other hand, was inexplicably proud. The arrogance that came from its bones made it want to say something, but fortunately, its rationality suppressed it.
The Heaven Carrying Immortality arrived. "How is it? Do you feel anything?"
It looked at Xingtoad with apprehension, disgust, hatred, and fear. This was an instinctive feeling towards the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad.
Xingtoad shook its head. "I don't feel anything."
The Heaven Carrying Immortality said, "It seems that the other party is not close yet. You are really lucky."
Xingtoad was stunned. "Who?
Me? "
The Heaven Carrying Immortality said, "Yes, I have never seen a Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad as lucky as you."
"What do you mean?" Xingtoad was puzzled.
The Heaven Carrying Immortality sighed. "If you were not wandering outside, you would have been eaten long ago. Not even your bones would be left."
Xingtoad was shocked. "What do you mean?
Who ate me? "
"Of course, it's the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad."
"Isn't that the same race as me?"
"Haha, same race?
Yes, the same race. The closer you are to the same race, the crueler you are. The Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad race is very strong, but do you know where this strength comes from? "
"It's because the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad race has a special characteristic. It can also be called an innate talent. It's called treasure-eating."
"Actually, the so-called Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad was originally called treasure-eating toad. However, because the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad was too strong, no one dared to spread it that way. Hence, it is still called the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad."
The Star Toad was confused. "What do you mean?"
"The so-called eating treasures is to eat until one is full. By eating each other, one can rapidly increase one's combat strength. The members of the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad Clan will constantly devour their own members as they cultivate. There are members of each realm. Moreover, in order to ensure the strength and secrecy of the clan, there can only be seven members of the same realm. For example, in the Ancestor Realm, there can only be seven members of the same clan. In the Du Ku Er Realm, there can only be seven members of the same clan.
As Heaven Carrying Immortality slowly narrated, the starry sky became deeper and deeper.
The Star Toad felt a chill run down its spine. It had never felt this way before. How could this be?
Is that so?
Using Heaven Bearing Immortality's words, thousands upon thousands of Seven Treasures Heavenly Toads were born every year, but in the end, only seven of the same cultivation level could survive. Thus, many Seven Treasures Heavenly Toads would bring their descendants and flee, but they could not escape. Occasionally, a Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad would wander about, but once they were found, they could not escape the fate of being devoured by others of the same cultivation level.
"You're saying that I will be devoured as well?"
The Star Toad did not dare to believe it. It felt that Heaven Carrying Immortality's words were strange, but it made sense. The origins of the Treasure Eating Heavenly Toad and the Seven Treasures were all very reasonable. At least, it felt that it was reasonable.
The Star Sail looked at Heaven Carrying Immortality strangely. Why did it sound so mysterious?
It felt like nonsense?
However, some parts of it were inexplicably reasonable.
Heaven Carrying Immortality smiled and said, "Of course, but it is also possible that you will devour a Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad of the same cultivation level and evolve into a more powerful Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad. Who knows? If you succeed and become one of the seven members of the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad Clan, you will be accepted by the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad Clan and return to the clan. It will be a good thing for you.
"The prerequisite is that you can devour members of the same clan.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Time is limited. I came here to give you this." It spat out a colorful glass. "This is specially prepared for you. I will go back now."
The Star Toad hurriedly shouted, "Wait, let's talk more."
Heaven Carrying Immortality's voice grew fainter and fainter. "There is no need to say more. You will know when they arrive. Then, you will have a good chat with your fellow clan members."
The Star Toad stared blankly at Heaven Carrying Immortality's disappearance. Its mood was completely different from before.
It had thought that it would be able to wait for its fellow clan members to arrive. What did this human civilization have to do with it?
But now, it was over. Could it really be devouring members of the same clan to evolve?
How could it be so cruel?
Could it be that it was Great Granny who had helped it escape when it was stranded?
Treasure Eating Heavenly Toads, Seven Treasures Heavenly Toads, this was too cruel. No, definitely not.
It stared into the distance. Please don't come, please don't.
In the Nine Heavens Universe, Lu Yin retracted his gaze and looked at Qinglian Shangyu.
It seemed that Heaven Carrying Immortality had scared the Star Toad. This Star Toad was very timid.
"I never thought that there would be creatures in the universe that could devour members of the same clan to evolve. There really are all kinds of creatures." Lu Yin sighed.
What Heaven Carrying Immortality had said was true. It was just that he had applied another species to the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad. He had also put some effort into the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad clan's name, which was why the Star Toad felt that it was strange, but also reasonable.
There were indeed creatures in the universe that could devour members of the same clan to evolve.
Qinglian Shangyu said, "It's normal. The closer you get to the Core Space, the more incredible it is. If you have time, go talk to the Wonder Gate. Her knowledge of the Core Space might not be inferior to mine."
Lu Yin remembered that Wonder Gate had gone to the Core Space after leaving the mind universe, and when she returned, she was already an eternal life.
Then what had she encountered in the Core Space?
Also, who was Qingyun's father?
And the mind universe.
It was time to take a trip to the mind universe.
The mind universe was different from any that Lu Yin had seen before.
From afar, it looked like an abyss, and the closer he got, the more it felt like the world was collapsing.
The abyss affected the entire universe, but that was only because from afar, the only true abyss was the bottomless darkness in the center.
That was the true abyss of the mind universe, where the cultivators of the Nine Heavens Universe had once fought.
Lu Yin left the One Leaf Lotus and stepped into the mind universe. Not long after, he arrived outside the abyss. There weren't many cultivators here, and they were all from the Bitter Abyss.
When Lu Yin arrived, a cultivator immediately stepped forward and bowed to him. "I am Bitter Battle. May I ask why you have come to the mind universe?"
Lu Yin sized up the middle-aged man in front of him. This person had a robust body and was different from any other Bitter Abyss cultivator he had seen before. His eyes were bright and spirited, which matched his name. "Lu Yin, from the Tian Yuan Universe. I'm here to use the Green Lotus to control the One Leaf Green Lotus and step into the Mind Universe.
Bitter Battle was shocked. "The Tianyuan Universe?"
He looked at Lu Yin. The people from the Bitter Abyss didn't think much of the Tianyuan Universe, but the Nine Heavens Universe and the Tianyuan Universe didn't interact.
"Mr. Lu came on the One Leaf Lotus?"
"That's right."
"In that case, please."
Lu Yin nodded and walked past Bitter Battle towards the abyss.
Bitter Battle looked at Lu Yin's back. No matter where this person came from, he could clearly feel the invisible pressure that only his master had given him. This person was very strong.
Was he from the Tianyuan Universe?
When did the Nine Heavens Universe and the Tianyuan Universe intersect?
It seemed that many things had changed after leaving the Nine Heavens Universe for so many years.
The stars had rumbled, and the mind universe wasn't calm. He had always wanted to go back, and perhaps leave with this person.
Up ahead, Lu Yin walked towards the abyss step by step, recalling Jingmen Shangyu's words.
"Don't be afraid. Many people can do it. You have to make yourself afraid. Only fear can stimulate your potential."
"That abyss is bottomless. With my strength, I can break through the universe's firmament. What can a mere abyss do to me?
Only by entering the abyss will you know what you're facing. "
"It's not the abyss, nor is it the universe. It's a monster, a monster that needs to be tamed."
She told Lu Yin what she felt when she saw the abyss.
Master Ku Deng also reminded Lu Yin that everyone could see the abyss, but not everyone could see the abyss in their hearts. The Bitter Abyss was about climbing out of the abyss, but it wasn't just the abyss in front of one's eyes, but also the abyss in one's heart.
Heart techniques allowed one to become one with the heavens. If one's heart was invincible, then one would be invincible.
The heart was the foundation of everything.
Lu Yin had come here because he was interested in the power of the abyss, but now he understood what it meant to have a heart.
Heart for heart, he had become one with Tian Yuan's wishes and fought against the two immortals.
This was the power of the heart. At that moment, his heart was invincible, and he was invincible.
Wishes were also one of the powers of the universe. The size of one's heart was the size of heaven and earth.
He hoped to see the abyss in his heart here. If one day, the abyss in his heart covered the universe, would he be able to become one with this boundless space?
The power of the heart was limitless.
Lu Yin didn't move forward. He stopped and slowly sat down, looking at the abyss without moving.
In the distance, Ku Zhan stared blankly at Lu Yin. What did he mean by not moving forward or retreating?
The next moment, Lu Yin's aura continued to weaken until it completely disappeared, but he was clearly there.
Ku Zhan wasn't unfamiliar with this scene. When his master oversaw the spiritual universe, he had also experienced such a scene, but it had taken him a long time to completely erase his aura and merge with the abyss. How could this person be so fast?
Was he also trying to reach immortality like his master?
Legend had it that the Tian Yuan Universe was the weakest, and there wasn't even a decent complete Ku Er. How could such a person be born?
Ku Zhan stood there quietly, looking at Lu Yin. Could this person be his opportunity?
He had overseen Ku Zhan out of his own volition. It wasn't that he didn't want to return to the Nine Heavens, but that his own temperament made it difficult for him to take another step forward.
He was only in the Eight Abyss Realm, and compared to Ku Han and Ku Ji, he was still a level lower.
Ku Zhan had always been belligerent. Only in this spiritual universe could he suppress his desire for battle. Only by breaking through his desire for battle could he step into the Nine Abyss Realm.
He saw this possibility in Lu Yin.
Lu Yin didn't know that his cultivation in the abyss had given Ku Zhan an opportunity to break through. He also didn't need to know; human civilization didn't lack a Nine Abyss Realm cultivator.
Ninety-nine days.
Lu Yin sat outside the abyss for ninety-nine days like a mortal. He felt fear and powerlessness as he stared at the abyss.
His heart was like an abyss, reflecting the netherworld.
He saw the abyss in his heart, and that abyss seemed to merge with the abyss in front of him. He unconsciously stood up and walked towards it.
