Lu Siyu gave Hong 'er a thumbs up, but she was also puzzled. "Third Sister, didn't you say you were just going to watch?
Why are you so serious? "
Ming Xiaolong leaned over. "We tried to scare these birds before. Third Sister, you're using the old method. I thought you could win as long as you made a move. I didn't expect there to be two more."
Hong 'er looked at Ning Xiao and then at Chu Yuan. This person was from the Tianyuan Universe. Legend had it that he was a Daozi of an era in the Tianyuan Universe, the most outstanding hero. He had competed with Mister Lu and even surpassed him.
The third person to make the birds fly twelve laps was Chu Yuan.
This was something Lu Yin hadn't expected.
Scaring the birds didn't rely on one's combat power, and they couldn't hurt the birds. Combat power didn't mean much. Many people resorted to trickery, such as Ning Xiao and Hong 'er.
Those who relied on their combat power to scare the birds were useless.
Chu Yuan also resorted to trickery. He used the visualization method to visualize the Warship Fish.
At first, Chu Yuan tried everything, but it was useless. The birds could only fly three laps at most, which wasn't as good as Lonely Little Fool. A few days passed and the competition was about to end. He also tried his best and visualized the Warship Fish. The effect was surprisingly good. The birds saw the fish fly twelve laps, and Chu Yuan was stunned.
He didn't expect the Warship Fish to be so powerful.
The Warship Fish was a cheap fish, a very cheap fish. It was even more cheap. In the Above Heaven era, it had tortured the Shen Ying, Zu Mang, and the others. Even the Three Realms and Six Paths had been insulted by it. Who didn't hate it?
It was just that he didn't expect the Warship Fish to be such a deterrent in the Jiuxiao Universe.
Jingmen Shangyu gave the answer, "Living things have their natural enemies. The natural enemy of the Startled Sparrow is a kind of fish. The Startled Sparrow's visualization method is very similar to that fish, so it really scared the Startled Sparrow."
Lu Yin pursed his lips. He had agreed to let the birds play, but the birds that flew twelve laps were really scared.
One was Jingmen, one was a foreign creature, and one was a Warship Fish.
The birds were going to have nightmares.
Jingmen Shangyu was helpless. He could only say that the birds were unlucky.
"Jingmen Shangyu, how will you choose if three people win?" Qing Yun asked.
Jingmen Shangyu looked at Ning Xiao, Hong 'er, and Chu Yuan. "Then it'll be three.
The others were astonished. There was no need to compete anymore?
The rumors in the outside world were indeed true. Human civilization was different from before. In the past, the God of Defense was high and mighty, and ordinary people could not see him. Cultivators kept to themselves and fought with each other. But now, powerful cultivators came out to support the younger generation.
This era was the best era for cultivation.
Qing Yun looked at Ning Xiao and the other two. "The three of you, as the victors of the Sparrow Arena, you have the qualifications to raise your cultivation problems to the Startling Gate's Lord. Please."
Ning Xiao was the first to step forward. He faced Shangyu of the Startle Gate and Lu Yin and slowly bowed. He stood up and changed from his usual carefree attitude to a solemn expression, "May I raise a question?"
Jingmen Shangyu nodded. "Sure."
Ning Xiao took a deep breath and asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, if your journey is too smooth, will you gain immortality?"
Hearing Ning Xiao's question, everyone felt that he deserved a beating.
Too smooth?
But this was the truth. Ning Xiao's cultivation was indeed very smooth. The discovery of his talent made him the focus of countless people, especially since he was a rogue cultivator. He firmly refused to be roped in by the major powers and became the beacon of light for countless rogue cultivators. These rogue cultivators helped him intentionally or unintentionally. The major powers also helped him because they wanted to rope him in. Especially after he entered a deep sleep in the Junior Imperial Building, it was equivalent to gaining the approval of the Immortal Lord. No one dared to provoke him and his cultivation was unimpeded.
He really was very smooth.
It was different from the scheming and life and death crises that other rogue cultivators experienced.
That was why he had such a carefree attitude.
Looking at him, Lu Yin felt like he was looking at a second Xiang Siyu.
Although Ning Xiao deserved a beating, his question made everyone pay attention to him.
Immortality. Who didn't want immortality?
They all hoped to get an answer about immortality from the Startle Gate's Lord.
Jingmen Shangyu looked deeply at Ning Xiao and said, "Everyone's path to immortality is different. Some people are late bloomers, while others take the impossible shortcut, but in the end, success comes naturally. There is no fixed group of people, fixed thoughts, or fixed opportunities in immortality."
"Everyone here can gain immortality."
Everyone was excited. Could they too?
Jingmen Shangyu continued, "Mortals are like ants, but every cultivator is born as a mortal. Even if we are in the Immortal Realm, we can die prematurely at birth. It is hard to say whether we can achieve immortality."
"As for you, Ning Xiao, the answer I can give you is that going forward is going against you, going forward is going against you."
Ning Xiao's eyes flashed. He looked at Jingmen Shangyu and also at Lu Yin. "Cultivation is a circle?"
Jingmen Shangyu glanced at Lu Yin. These words were said by Lu Yin to countless people in the Jiuxiao Universe, but only a few could really understand.
"You are very smart."
Ning Xiao was bitter. Although it was not the answer, it was the answer.
"I understand."
He was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He faced the front again and saluted. "Dare I ask, Mr. Lu is here. Does it mean that I can also ask Mr. Lu for advice in this Sparrow Arena?"
Lu Yin raised his eyebrows. How did he get involved?
He was just watching the fun.
Jingmen Shangyu didn't expect Ning Xiao to get involved with Lu Yin. It was hard to say because they were standing together.
The rest of the people also looked at Lu Yin and whispered.
Ning Xiao looked at Lu Yin with burning eyes. Who didn't want to ask this person for advice?
He was a legend, a true legend. He was even more legendary than the Immortal Shangyu.
Everyone was looking at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin said, "I was just passing by and wanted to watch the fun."
Ning Xiao bowed deeply. "I tried my best to scare Sparrow Arena to let Mr. Lu see more of the fun. Since Mr. Lu has already seen it, can you reward me with something?"
Lu Yin laughed. This person was using words to flatter him, but it didn't matter. "Okay, then I will answer a question like Jingmen Shangyu."
Ning Xiao was overjoyed. He had just thought of this and didn't expect it to work.
The others were excited. Mr. Lu answered the question, hoping that Ning Xiao and the others would not ask blindly and ask something useful.
Qingyun didn't expect this either, but it was better. It was more lively.
Everyone looked at Ning Xiao expectantly, waiting for his question.
Ning Xiao faced Lu Yin and bowed deeply. "May I ask, Mr. Lu, how can I become your disciple?"
The crowd was in an uproar. Ning Xiao wanted to be Lu Yin's disciple?
Jingmen Shangyu didn't expect this to be Ning Xiao's plan.
It was a smart plan. Instead of asking a question, it was better to think of a way to become Lu Yin's disciple. This way, he could ask whatever he wanted.
With Ning Xiao's talent, he was qualified to be Lu Yin's disciple.
He didn't want to become Lu Yin's disciple directly, but he wanted to give Lu Yin a chance to test him. He was always flattering Lu Yin.
No matter how they looked at it, the possibility of him becoming Lu Yin's disciple was not low.
Everyone looked at Ning Xiao enviously. If he could become Lu Yin's disciple, he would soar to the sky.
It was no wonder that Ning Xiao didn't join any forces and didn't want to be anyone's disciple. He was waiting for the most powerful person to be his disciple.
Then why didn't he just become Jingmen Shangyu's disciple?
Ning Xiao lowered his head. He was nervous. It wasn't that he didn't want to be Jingmen Shangyu's disciple, but Jingmen Shangyu wasn't suitable for him. He was more suitable for Lu Yin, who also came from the bottom.
Lu Yin looked at Ning Xiao calmly. Everyone had their own way of survival. Ning Xiao used his cleverness to climb up, which was very similar to him.
This wasn't despicable, but a struggle for survival.
Unfortunately, Lu Yin wasn't interested in him.
Looking at Ning Xiao's disciples, Ku Wei had taken him in to save him in the early days, and he was also a Lockbreaking disciple. Hui Can had accepted him because Lu Yin had taken his things and wanted to repay Ancestor Hui's kindness to the human race. Tuo Lin had been too stubborn, and Lu Yin pitied him. There was also the situation with the Six Direction Gang.
None of them were like Ning Xiao.
"You're very outstanding, but unfortunately, you're not suitable to be my disciple."
Lu Yin's words made Ning Xiao's heart sink.
Some of the people around were relieved, while others felt pity.
Ning Xiao was unwilling. "Mister Lu, you're not even willing to give me a test?"
Lu Yin shook his head. "With or without me, your path will still be the same. However, I can help you and let you experience a path that isn't so smooth."
Ning Xiao knew that Lu Yin wouldn't accept him as a disciple, so it was good that he could help.
He said respectfully, "Then I'll have to trouble Mister Lu."
Lu Yin waved his hand, and the General Appointment Stage appeared. "Go in if you want."
Everyone looked at the General Appointment Stage with fear in their eyes.
Lu Yin's legend was inseparable from his innate gift. Among them, the one that the spiritualized universe feared the most was the General Appointment Stage Hell. It was a painful experience over and over again in one's life. Regardless of whether it was an ordinary person or a powerhouse who had experienced hardship, as long as they had feelings, they were all afraid of this.
Too many people from the spiritualized universe had entered the General Appointment Stage Hell. Now, the Ninefold Universe and the Tianyuan Universe also knew that Lu Yin had such a torturous thing.
No one had expected that Lu Yin's help would be this.
They looked at Ning Xiao sympathetically. Should he enter or not?
Entering was painful. In the words of those from the spiritualized universe, it wasn't just any kind of pain. It was a pain that accumulated and constantly tore apart one's emotions.
If he didn't enter, it would be equivalent to retreating. There were so many people watching, and he was also the one who had asked Lu Yin for help. Even if he didn't offend Lu Yin, at least Lu Yin wouldn't think highly of him anymore.
The entire human civilization would also look down on him. The price he had to pay was too great.
Ning Xiao had no choice.
He didn't plan on choosing either. After the General Appointment Stage Hell appeared, he entered with a determined gaze.
Many people had only heard of the General Appointment Stage Hell and had never seen it before.
At this moment, they were all watching, as if they wanted to remember every detail of the General Appointment Stage Hell.
Alarmed Shangyu was also watching. She knew that the General Appointment Stage Hell could increase Lu Yin's karma. More than one Eternal Realm cultivator had entered it, so it was a ruthless place.
They had all discussed it with each other. If there came a day when human civilization needed Lu Yin's more powerful karma, then they would go in and see how much they could help Lu Yin.
Qinglian Shangyu had praised it as a jumping weapon.
Everyone was waiting for Ning Xiao to come out.
Not long after, Ning Xiao was released. His condition was similar to Lu Suan's, and he felt as if his worldview had been turned upside down.
His life had been too smooth, so much so that he had experienced all sorts of things in the world, which filled him with a new understanding of this world.
Seeing him like this, one could imagine how Lu Suan felt.
Lu Suan was not someone who could be described as' obedient '.
