The Blood Tower Protector sighed. "To be honest, although what happened in the Tian Yuan Universe was of a low level, the process was extremely exciting. You two are not absolute enemies.
That Grand Empyrean died to deal with the Eternals.
"Bai Xianer was resurrected, but she was still willing to enter the River of Time for you. She has feelings for you. Unfortunately, you will not meet again in this life."
He looked at the River of Time in a daze. "It is rare to meet a woman who is willing to sacrifice herself for you."
Lu Yin's gaze was complicated. Sacrifice for me?
Bai Xianer really sacrificed herself for me. They would never meet again.
Everything felt like a dream.
But he would never forget that smiling face.
Time did not flow in the mirage domain.
But Lu Yin counted the days. One hundred and seventy-seven days had passed since Mister Mu's breakthrough. On the one hundred and seventy-eighth day, he suddenly vomited blood, dying the cauldron red.
Lu Yin was shocked. "Master!"
Mister Mu opened his eyes helplessly. His face was pale, and his hair was gray. His entire body was dim, and his vitality fell like a waterfall. He seemed to have reached the end of his life.
Lu Yin trembled. He had failed.
His master had failed.
The Blood Tower Protector closed his eyes. He had still failed.
Although the possibility of a successful breakthrough was very small, he had still paid the price of the River of Time.
The price was too high, and it was hard to accept that he had failed.
Nine Clouds Universe, Yehai. The Blue Lotus Protector sighed. He had seen this scene more than once. There were many geniuses in the history of the Nine Clouds Universe who had broken through, but they had all failed. Mister Mu's breakthrough had caused too much of a commotion, and the price had been too high. But no one could stop him from failing.
The price of failure to break through to the Eternal Realm was death. It could be said that since ancient times, almost everyone who failed to break through to the Eternal Realm had died. There were few exceptions.
Mister Mu's breakthrough had failed, and Lu Yin's first thought was death. He did not want his master to die. His master could not die.
"Master." At this moment, Lu Yin did not know what to say.
He could only stand by the River of Time and watch blankly.
His heart was filled with anxiety and fear.
He was afraid that Mister Mu would die.
Mister Mu had always been his backer. On the path of cultivation, Mister Mu had always been able to resolve any obstacles that could not be overcome. It was Mister Mu who had taught him how to cultivate, saved him too many times, and illuminated his path forward.
Without Mr. Mu, there would be no him.
Lu Yin had always believed that he would be able to overcome all difficulties on his own, but it was only at this moment that he realized that he could rely on Mister Mu. Even he would feel helpless and despair at times. Fortunately, he still had his master, and even though his master was not immortal, he was still able to provide Lu Yin with a greater sense of security.
Master!
Within the cauldron, Mister Mu had a complex look in his eyes. "The price I paid for this breakthrough was too great. Yet, I still failed. I am truly sorry."
This apology was not meant for Lu Yin, but for the Blood Tower Emperor.
Mister Mu did not know Xue Ta Yu, but he knew that Xue Ta Yu had sacrificed a long river of time for him.
"Master, will we definitely fail?
Keep trying, and you'll definitely be able to get through it! "
Mister Mu was helpless as he gazed into the distant starry sky. "Long years have passed, and life is boundless. There is nothing that can be done. Human power cannot defeat the heavens. The outcome of many things has already been decided. There is no need to force it."
"Do you still remember what I told you?"
"If the breakthrough fails, then everything in the past will vanish like smoke. Do not ask me about my past, and do not dwell on it. Just protect the human civilization in this universe. Do you understand?"
Mister Mu's expression seemed to age as his hair turned white. His withered, bloodless paleness made him enter the final stages of his life, and he was getting closer and closer to death.
Lu Yin had never seen Mister Mu like this before, and it was as if he had seen a towering mountain collapse. He had clearly reached the final step, so why had he still failed?
Why was it so impossible to get through the Bitter Calamity?
"Master, keep trying. I beg you, keep trying!" Lu Yin shouted.
Mister Mu shook his head weakly. "Child, I am very fortunate to have a disciple like you. Take good care of your seniors."
"So many years have passed, and it's time for me to meet them. My life should have been in the past long ago, and there is no place for me on the ship of the future."
Lu Yin was unwilling to give up. Human civilization was already very powerful, and they even had teleportation, which could make any fishing civilization fearful. He had done all of this. Yu Sangtian had been like an ant in the past, and even spiritualized universes had to give him face. Even Grass Grandmasters felt pressured when facing him, but he had done all of this.
He had too many things that he wanted to tell his master. Whether it was complaining or showing off, he hoped that his master would quietly listen to him and listen to his disciple's experiences in the outside world.
In the past, no matter how outstanding he was, Mister Mu had always been indifferent. Now, Lu Yin hoped to see admiration in Mister Mu's eyes. He wanted to show off to his master, just like a child.
He did not want to wait for a permanent farewell without even a conversation.
"Your master's Bitter Calamity is not in the Tian Yuan, nor is it in this human civilization. It is in his own universe. If he can return to his own universe, he might have a chance to break through," Azure Lotus Yu said.
Lu Yin heard this, and his eyes widened. "Really?"
Azure Lotus Yu looked at the Tian Yuan universe's mirage. "The prerequisite is that he has to last until then."
Lu Yin's breathing quickened, and he looked at Mister Mu. "Master, do you still remember that overwhelming silver?"
Mister Mu's body trembled, and he stared at Lu Yin with his eyes wide open. "Did Mu Zhu tell you that?"
Lu Yin shook his head. "I saw them. They were the Migrating Silver Sky Army. They were constantly searching for traces of you. They imprisoned the people in your universe, and they did not restart them. Instead, they kept them in captivity."
Mister Mu slowly clenched his fists, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. This rarely happened to him.
No matter how intense the war in the Tian Yuan universe was, even during the battle in Immemorial City, he had always been calm. However, at this moment, the Migrating Silver Sky Army had stirred up his murderous intent.
Lu Yin saw that Mister Mu's vitality was slowing down. He took out a stone from his cosmic ring and lifted it. "Master, look at this."
Mister Mu looked at it, and his body trembled. His pale face instantly turned red, and his anger and murderous intent could not be concealed.
There were nine human heads carved on the stone. They were Mu Zhu's uncle-masters, and Mister Mu's junior apprentice-brothers.
They were the nine uncle-masters who had willingly sacrificed themselves at the last moment in order to let Mister Mu and Mu Zhu leave.
They were also the people that Mister Mu wanted to meet.
He wanted Lu Yin to let go of the past and let everything in the past disappear. However, how could he let go of the past? Looking at the nine heads, Mister Mu's anger, hatred, and murderous intent boiled.
"This is the stone that the Migrating Silver Sky Army threw down. They have never given up on you, Master. Sooner or later, they will find you," Lu Yin shouted.
Mister Mu looked at the stone and the human heads. He closed his eyes in pain. "I was unable to break through successfully. There is no suffering for me here."
"Then let's go to your universe and go home," Lu Yin said.
Mister Mu stared blankly at Lu Yin. "Go home?"
"Yes, go home."
"Do you know where my home is?"
"I do. With the speed of an Eternal Life Realm cultivator, it would take twenty years. I have thought of a way, and I might be able to reach it in a few years. If I am lucky, I might be able to reach it even sooner."
Mister Mu did not expect Lu Yin to have already found the location of his universe, but now was not the time to ask about the details. "The Migrating Silver Sky Army is there."
Lu Yin's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Then let's fight and kill. Let's see if the Migrating Silver Sky Army can stop me. Master, you can only take revenge if you are alive. The uncle-masters are all watching you."
Mister Mu looked at the stone again and took a deep breath. "You decide. If I can return to my homeland, I will definitely achieve eternal life."
Lu Yin was overjoyed. He leaped out and touched the cauldrons. The nine cauldrons instantly merged into one. Mister Mu sat cross-legged within the cauldrons and slowly closed his eyes.
Lu Yin took the cauldrons and teleported to the Ninth Heaven Universe. He arrived at the Gate of Surprise, where Shangyu was already waiting.
Without waiting for Lu Yin to speak, Shangyu said, "I am the only one who can accompany you. With my speed, I can surpass the speed of an Eternal Life Realm cultivator. With the Pathfinder Stone, I can shorten the time needed to reach that universe."
That was what Lu Yin had thought.
With the Startling Cloud and the Pathfinder Stone, Lu Yin could teleport there as long as he could see the direction. However, this method could not be used for long periods of time. It could only be used occasionally when there was an emergency. It consumed a lot of Shangyu's energy, and he had to use his full strength every time he stabbed out the Startling Cloud.
Besides Shangyu, there was still one more person to bring along.
Heaven-Carrying Immortality looked at Lu Yin, who had suddenly appeared in front of him. Shangyu and another cauldron?
Could this aura be that of a powerhouse who had just broken through?
However, the breakthrough had failed, and he did not know whether to feel regretful or happy.
But why are they looking for me?
Lu Yin pressed one hand on Heaven-Carrying Immortality. "Come with us." With that, he teleported away.
In Ye Hai, Qinglian Shangyu looked into the distance and hoped that this trip would go smoothly.
In addition to facing Mister Mu's breakthrough, he also had to face the Migrating Silver Sky Army.
The Migrating Silver Sky Army's strength was not below Lan Meng's, and Shangyu's Gate of Surprise could barely put up a fight. However, if there was another unknown, it would be troublesome. Fortunately, Lu Yin could teleport, so he could retreat if he could not defeat them.
Once Mister Mu broke through to the Eternal Life Realm, he would not be easy to deal with.
If not for the fact that he had to guard the Karmic Great Celestial Phenomenon, it would be safer for him to go on this trip.
The main reason was that he was wary of that mysterious unknown.
Others might not know that Mister Mu had broken through, but that mysterious unknown was hidden in the Tianyuan Universe.
Once he accompanied him to Mister Mu's universe, that mysterious unknown would make a move, and the human civilization would find it difficult to resist.
This was the most troublesome thing. Everything he did would be known by others.
Unless he could uncover this mysterious unknown and make the human civilization as stable as a rock without being spied on by the unknown, then he would be able to do whatever he wanted.
…
Lu Yin brought Shangyu and the rest out of the Karmic Great Celestial Phenomenon. Shangyu held the Startling Cloud in his hand, and the power of the abyss transformed into power. The door rotated and wrapped around the Startling Cloud. He stabbed out fiercely, and the Startling Cloud disappeared in an instant.
The speed of the Startling Cloud surpassed the speed of an Eternal Life. This was normal. It was like a normal person throwing a stone. The stone that was thrown would naturally exceed the speed of the person who threw it.
Lu Yin sensed the speed of the Pathfinder Stone on the Startling Cloud, and it was almost ten times faster than the One Leaf Qinglian.
