Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. This was probably Chang Tu's doing. He had forced the elites who had no intention of participating and wanted to wait a little longer to appear. Some of them might have been in seclusion and were forcefully pulled out just to place Lu Yin below the top 100.
Damn it.
He buried his head and continued climbing the vine.
At the same time, Chang Tu was uneasy. "When will the Patriarch act?
This person is very close to the top 100. If he enters the top 100, any one or two of the others will give up on him. "
】
"I know. It should be soon." Chang Tu looked into the distance.
Not long after, just as Lu Yin was about to reach Chang Yi, the pressure suddenly increased. The sudden pressure almost shook him off.
He grabbed the vine tightly and looked up. Chang Yi and the rest were fine, but he felt the pressure suddenly increase. No, he had been observing just now. Chang Yi and the rest did not suddenly increase the pressure when they climbed to this position.
There was no reaction at all.
This meant that this pressure was directed at him.
Others could not sense it.
Was this the real attack of that old monster?
This meant that the pressure was really from the Longevity Vine.
This Longevity Vine could actually release the pressure that was suppressing him. How did it do that?
Lu Yin did not understand. Could this Longevity Vine be a turbid treasure?
Boom!
There was a loud sound beside his ear.
Lu Yin's fingers grabbed the vine tightly. The pressure had increased again. This old monster.
At that moment, he felt as if a hundred people were kicking him from above and tugging at him from below. They were constantly trying to push him down.
Trying to push him down?
Impossible. Since this old monster had acted, it meant that he was about to enter the top 100. Otherwise, he would not have acted.
Surpass Chang Yi. As long as he could surpass Chang Yi, he might be able to enter the top 100.
Although he did not care about the God's Eye innate gift, he was not happy about being targeted by the Longevity Civilization.
He felt like he was being played.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth and continued climbing.
Below, Chang Qi was puzzled. Why had this person suddenly stopped?
Furthermore, he saw that Lu Yin's hand was exerting more force. Had the pressure changed?
But the movement was still the same?
No one could understand the pressure Lu Yin was under. He gritted his teeth and climbed bit by bit.
Chang Yi looked down and panted heavily. He could not hold on any longer, but why was this person climbing so slowly?
Was he going to give up?
Although Lu Yin was not far from Chang Yi, this distance was like a moat to him.
He could only grit his teeth and climb slowly.
Chang Yi sensed that Lu Yin was getting closer, and he felt a sense of urgency. At this moment, the most anxious person was someone called Chang Shi. He was stunned; how could a mere vine climbing competition attract the attention of his family's patriarch?
"Damn brat, hurry up and crawl! Don't give up! Crawl!"
Feldstone was dumbfounded. "Elder Ancestor, I can't crawl anymore."
Beside the vines, an old man glared with bloodshot eyes. "Even if we can't crawl, we still have to crawl. We can't give up even if we die."
Long Stone was on the verge of tears. "Patriarch, is it that serious?
How about next time? "
"No, just this once. If you dare to give up, I, the Old Ancestor, will skin you alive. I swear that I will definitely skin you alive. This is absolutely not a joke." The old man was about to go crazy.
Feldstone was also going crazy. What was going on?
It was just a vine climbing competition.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have participated.
His family had told him to try it from the start. Why was it so serious?
At this moment, there were a hundred and one people in the entire Longevity Universe climbing vines. If one were to attribute the distance to a single vine, then Lu Yin was not above Chang Yi, but Feldstone. He was only three meters away from Feldstone.
Chang Yi was more than ten meters long.
There were five people within these ten meters.
However, no matter how many people there were, as long as Feldstone gave up and fixed his position, Lu Yin would be able to climb higher than Feldstone.
Hence, Chang Tu did not care about the others. They could climb as high as they wanted. It did not matter even if they gave up now. The distance was there. Feldstone could not do it. Feldstone had to climb. Unless Feldstone surpassed someone, that person would replace Feldstone and have to climb.
Climb until Lu Yin gave up and became the hundred and first person.
Hence, Chang Tu dragged out Feldstone's family's Patriarch and forced him to suppress Feldstone. He had to force Feldstone to continue climbing. He could not give up even if he died.
Looking at Feldstone's crying face, Chang Tu felt helpless.
Patriarch, oh Patriarch, why couldn't you have done something earlier? Look at how the child forced you.
The Longevity Ancestor felt rather helpless when he saw this, as he had never expected Lu Yin to be able to withstand his pressure and climb up. This kid's state of mind and willpower had surpassed his expectations, and he could obviously increase the pressure even more. However, that was not the time to do so.
It was too obvious. It was unfair.
Unfairness could be divided into overt and covert. The first increase in pressure was covert. It was normal for Lu Yin to fail. However, if he increased the pressure again, it would be too obvious. It would be embarrassing.
At this moment, the others were watching to see who could climb to the highest point. However, the Longevity Civilization's Patriarch was watching Feldstone.
If Feldstone knew, he might be scared out of his wits.
Anyway, their Patriarch was scared out of his wits. He knew that Elder Chang Tu was watching. Little Feldstone, you must work hard. Whether or not the family can turn the situation around depends on you.
Blood dripped down the vines.
Feldstone gritted his teeth and climbed until his muscles were torn. He climbed until he collapsed.
Lu Yin stared at Chang Yi. He used Chang Yi as his target. He was afraid that he would climb until he collapsed.
Two people who were not together were fighting with their lives on the line.
Feldstone did not know that he was fighting with Lu Yin, a scoundrel who could kill Eternal Realm experts.
Lu Yin also did not know that Feldstone was suffering because of him.
He only knew that Chang Yi had given up.
Chang Yi was bitter. He had given up on climbing the vines.
However, no one cared about him. Chang Tu did not care. He only cared about Feldstone.
He climbed bit by bit. Every step left a bloody palm print. Feldstone was on the verge of collapse. The pressure made him muddle-headed. He did not know who he was. He only knew that if he did not climb, he would be skinned alive.
Their Patriarch looked at him with heartache. Child, it was not me who forced you. It was Elder Chang Tu who forced you. Climb. If you can climb this step, you might be able to join the Shaxin Court. In the future, you will be able to build your own Shaxin Court.
Child, climb. Climb to the top.
In the end, Feldstone fell down. He fainted and fell onto the vines.
Chang Tu closed his eyes. This child had done his best.
Lu Yin was still climbing. He was originally three meters away from Feldstone. Now, he was less than one meter away. He would be in the top 100 if he climbed a little more.
Chang Tu looked into the distance. He still had to make a move.
Boom!
Another loud sound. A monstrous pressure descended. Lu Yin seemed to see a person who replaced the sky and pressed down on him.
He let go of his hand. He had failed.
He could not catch up to Chang Yi. He had failed.
After leaving the vines, Lu Yin immediately recovered. He exhaled and looked up at the stars. He did not know where the Patriarch of this universe was. He could only see Chang Tu.
Chang Tu smiled at him.
Lu Yin smiled back. His smile was full of mockery and disdain. He did not care.
Chang Tu's face sank. He did not look anymore. How embarrassing. The promised fairness was trampled under the feet of this person. But there was no other way. The immortal civilization could not be exposed. Everything was for the continuation of the civilization.
The soldier king was still climbing. Lu Yin did not care about the other rewards for the first place in the vine climbing competition.
He was sure that he would not be able to enter the top 100.
In the distance, Chang Yi and Chang Qi wanted to speak. Lu Yin did not even look at them and disappeared.
They looked at each other. They knew that Lu Yin's strength was beyond their imagination.
Lu Yin returned to the Shaxin Court.
Startled Shangyu said, "You failed."
Lu Yin nodded, "Somewhat shameless. The old monster took action personally."
"That can't be helped."
Startled Shangyu said, "But it doesn't matter. This divine eye talent does not meet your requirements. Obtaining this talent might hinder you from obtaining other abilities that allow you to see further in the future."
Lu Yin smiled bitterly, "I can only comfort myself like this."
"When are we leaving?"
Startled Shangyu looked deeply at the stars, "I want to see Chang Tian again. At least, I need to understand the use of that Longevity Vine."
Lu Yin nodded and did not rush him. After all, the Meteor Realm would last for ten years.
The vine climbing competition ended. It had lasted for three months.
The soldier king climbed the highest in their area. He was worthy of having trained his will on the battlefield. He obtained third place in this competition.
The first place was a woman. She was ugly and surprising.
It was normal for cultivators to change their appearance, but this woman was ugly.
The second place was also a woman. She was beautiful and had many suitors.
The third place was the soldier king.
Lu Yin was curious about this result. It was not strange that the first two places were both women. But it was strange that one was ugly and the other was beautiful. The contrast was too strong.
The vine climbing competition ended. Next was the bestowment of the divine eye talent.
Perhaps out of guilt or compensation, Changtu came to Sha Xin Courtyard and invited Lu Yin and Startled Shangyu to see the bestowment of the divine eye talent.
"This is a very high honor. In the Longevity Universe, only a few people can witness this scene. Any young person who obtains the divine eye will be a hero of the civilization. Witnessing this scene can be considered as witnessing the birth of a new era."
Jingmen Shangyu sneered, "So we should thank you?" Changtu coughed, "There's no need for that. After all, you are considered to be my honored guests." Seeing that Jingmen Shangyu was about to speak again, Changtu quickly said, "Let's go, I'll lead the way." With that, he headed straight for the starry sky.
After leaving Lu Yin, he told Lu Yin to change his appearance to prevent others from recognizing him.
"Old man, where is Chang Tian?"
Changtu paused and looked back, "He violated the rules of the clan and has to pay the price. But don't worry, it is not too serious. He will be out in a few years."
Startled Shangyu did not speak. He silently followed Changtu to the stars.
Above the stars, the Longevity Vine was like a green land. It stretched endlessly and almost completely covered the Longevity Universe.
This place was like the crown of the mother tree of the human civilization. Only a few people could come here.
At this moment, the top hundred of the vine climbing competition had arrived. They stood in a circle of light. They did not discuss with each other. Instead, they looked around curiously, especially at the front. There stood the top figures of the Longevity Universe.
From top to bottom, there was the Primordial Realm expert, the Bitter Adversity expert, and the highest Eternal Life expert.
When Changtu arrived, everyone looked over and bowed respectfully.
