The city was bustling, and Lu Yin's appearance was not out of the ordinary since not everyone wore red.
This civilization was similar to the one that Hong 'er had been born in. Many cultivators wore red clothes and umbrellas, but there were not that many of them.
Most of the regions in this universe were shrouded in red mist.
Lu Yin used his Mirroring Technique to see that these regions were densely packed and covered the entire universe.
With his current strength, he did not need to slowly understand them. With a sweep of his consciousness, he was able to understand many things.
The regions shrouded in red mist were called Emotionless Valleys, and the entire universe was filled with Underworld Red Coats. At the very least, that was the case in this universe.
Wherever the Red Coats passed, not even a blade of grass would grow!
This was what the cultivators of this universal civilization knew about themselves.
However, Underworld Red Coats did not refer to the entire civilization. Only those who were recognized by the civilization and qualified to wear the red umbrellas were qualified to be called Underworld Red Coats. Underworld Red Coats were not a realm or group, but a symbol for the powerhouses of the civilization.
Many cultivators did not wear red clothes because they did not want to, but because they did not have the qualifications.
Only those who joined the Heartless Sect were qualified to wear red clothes, and only those who were recognized by the Heartless Sect were qualified to wear the red umbrellas and become Underworld Red Coats.
The Heartless Sect was the strongest and only sect in this universe. It spread the Heartless Path throughout the universe, and the Heartless Valleys were used as a test. Only one person from each Heartless Valley could survive and join the Heartless Sect. The Heartless Valleys were spread throughout the entire universe, and they could continuously send talents to the Heartless Sect. These people had all walked out of a sea of slaughter.
When Lu Yin found out about this, he did not know how to describe it.
There was no lack of similar cultivation paths in human civilization, but they were usually unorthodox and used slaughter as a stepping stone. They could never be passed down to the entire civilization, and Lu Yin had never considered this point.
However, this point had been passed down in this human civilization and was accepted by everyone. The Heartless Path had become the strongest and only cultivation path of the mind in this civilization.
This cultivation path could not be considered wrong, as it went against normal human emotions. However, heartlessness was also a type of emotion. But could a person really be completely heartless?
Lu Yin believed that it was impossible, unless it was the Eternals.
He had been cultivating his mind all this time, and he had seen too much. No one was truly heartless. No one.
Then how could the Heartless Dao reach the pinnacle in this universe?
The strongest existence in this universe had shattered his understanding. That person was called the Red Hero, and he was also known as the Hero Ancestor. The Hero Ancestor's existence had shattered Lu Yin's understanding of emotions, as the Hero Ancestor had truly accomplished himself through the Heartless Dao.
Based on Lu Yin's quick understanding of this cosmic civilization, this Heroic Ancestor was an absolute powerhouse who had lived for a very long time. At the very least, he was a powerhouse who was compatible with two universal laws.
How could such a powerhouse walk up the Emotionless Dao?
Slaughter, a sea of blood, and competition had become the eternal theme of this universe.
Lu Yin teleported and appeared in Heartless Valley. There was slaughter all around him, and the ground was littered with corpses. The river had long since been dyed red, and the red mist was clearly the color of blood.
The man's eyes were cold and emotionless, which reminded Lu Yin of the four Eternal Realms who were overseeing the universe.
He went to another Heartless Valley, and it was the same.
Regardless of gender, old or young, as long as one entered the Heartless Valley, it was as if they had become another person.
Everyone had lost their souls to their blades, and everyone's blades and swords had been dyed red.
He squatted beside a woman who was covered in blood and had half of her body cut off. He asked calmly, "Do you regret it?"
The woman's eyes were badly mangled, and she was on the verge of death. She could not see Lu Yin's face clearly, but when faced with this question, she laughed loudly. "Yes, I regret that I didn't prepare more. I regret that I didn't kill that guy in the beginning. He was the most threatening person among all of us. I regret that I used too much energy in the beginning.
I regret it … "Lu Yin watched her die. Even before she died, she did not regret entering Heartless Valley.
The perception of a civilization could not be changed by a few words.
Lu Yin looked at each of the Heartless Valleys. Slaughter could not change anyone's expression, and what shocked him the most was that there were very few people who had entered Heartless Valley who had any attachments.
These people's fathers, sons, daughters, or wives … Outside of cultivation, they had all sorts of identities in their lives. However, after entering Heartless Valley, there were very few attachments in their lives.
Most of their family members had not come. Lu Yin spread out his consciousness and easily found these people's family members and friends. No, they almost had no friends, and their family members were just coldly doing their own things. It was as if entering Heartless Valley was an eternal farewell.
In fact, this was also the case. Only one person in each Heartless Valley could survive to the end.
Heartless. This was heartless.
Lu Yin did not know how to describe his heart. He could not accept this method of cultivation, but he was not qualified to say that it was wrong. This was because this civilization had indeed given birth to powerhouses through the Heartless Path, and the number of Eternal Life Realm experts even exceeded that of the humans in his civilization.
He was like a spectator, walking through the Heartless Valleys one after another, watching people fall one after another. Their eyes never changed from the beginning to the end. They were so cold, disregarding the lives of others, and even more so, disregarding their own lives.
In this civilization, indifference and ruthlessness were engraved in their bones.
In the face of such a civilization, it seemed reasonable and even reasonable to abandon some people as bait for their own survival.
Lu Yin gradually understood the feelings of those who had been abandoned. What they resented was not the fact that they had been abandoned, nor was it for the continuation of human civilization. Instead, they resented the indifference and indifference in the bones of those who had abandoned them. They resented the continuation of their civilization at the cost of death, but they did not even have a tombstone or a word of thanks.
Lu Yin hesitated. What would come of being recognized by such a civilization?
They were both human civilizations, but the Red Coats under the Astral Stars seemed to be another civilization, one that was completely different from human emotions.
】
Lu Yin could not accept the cultivation path that they had taken.
Currently, the human civilization on his side was harmonious. Of course, there were killings and fights among the cultivators, and there were also despicable and evil. These were unavoidable, but the darkness in the corners could not hide the overall light.
The threat of civilization war caused all of their conflicts to be directed toward the stars. Even Eternal Life Realm experts frequently appeared to give guidance. This kind of atmosphere could easily be disturbed if one came into contact with the Red Coats under the Astral Stars.
This was an entire civilization, not just one or two people.
Lu Yin sat on the mountain in silence. A distant mountain peak was faintly discernible, as if it was in the clouds or above the nine heavens. That was the Heartless Sect.
Everyone who survived from the Heartless Valley would be accepted into the Heartless Sect, where they would be considered to have taken the first step in cultivation.
A hundred days later, the sound of bamboo filled the sky. This bamboo sound was clear and cold, like the morning of winter. This was the sound of bamboo hitting the ribs of the red umbrella. It was also the sound of the Heartless Sect accepting disciples.
The red fog in the Heartless Valley opened up, revealing the last survivors.
Some were standing, some were sitting, and some were lying down. Some were crippled and only had half their bodies left. Some only had consciousness in their heads, but they were not far from death.
Beams of light from the Heartless Sect shone in every corner of the universe, accurately picking up the last survivors from the Heartless Valley.
Regardless of whether they were crippled or not, even if they only had a trace of life left, it was a success if they could survive until the Heartless Sect accepted disciples. The Heartless Sect would heal them.
A woman stood outside the main hall of the Heartless Sect. The entire Heartless Sect's red umbrella was open, covering the stars and illuminating the world in red.
"You are all very good. The Heartless Path has long disregarded life and death …" The woman continued to speak as if she was educating everyone. She was an Eternal Realm cultivator, so her voice could be heard by everyone.
Lu Yin looked at the cities and the people whose relatives had entered the Heartless Valley. Their expressions did not change.
If their relatives had survived, they would have known by now. However, most of them had died in the Heartless Valley, and their expressions did not change. They lived a numb life and listened to the woman speak.
Lu Yin looked at the woman again, and his eyes moved.
Outside the hall, the woman paused and looked in Lu Yin's direction. Their eyes met, and there was surprise and confusion in her eyes.
Lu Yin looked at her calmly. His expression was the same as those who cultivated the Heartless Path, but his indifference could never compare to those people. Those people were indifferent to their bones.
The woman looked away, said a few more words, and disappeared.
Not long after, she appeared in front of Lu Yin and examined him. "Who are you?
Where are you from? "
Lu Yin looked at her. "Human civilization, Lu Yin."
The woman frowned. "Human civilization?
Other than the Understar Red Coats, there is also a human civilization in the Area of Square. How did you get in? "
Lu Yin stood up and faced the woman. "I have my ways. You are Ba Yue?"
With a sweep of his consciousness, he learned many things. This woman's name was Ba Yue, and she was the leader of the Heartless Sect. She was an Eternal Realm cultivator.
However, Lu Yin felt that she was far weaker than Jingmen Shangyu. At most, she was on par with Master Kudeng.
Ba Yue stared at Lu Yin. "How dare you call an Eternal Realm cultivator by his name? Follow me." With that, she turned and walked toward the Heartless Sect. She was very confident and was not worried that Lu Yin would run away.
Lu Yin did not plan to run away. He followed Ba Yue into the Heartless Sect. No one saw them along the way.
Although Lu Yin was not an Eternal Realm cultivator, his aura made Ba Yue wary. Ba Yue knew that this person might have reached the limit of combat power below the Eternal Realm. There were not many cultivators with such combat power in the entire Understar Red Coat civilization, and ordinary cultivators could not see them.
If she had not sensed Lu Yin's strength, she would have attacked when Lu Yin called out Ba Yue's name.
He followed Ba Yue into the Heartless Sect. In the main hall, everything was red as far as the eye could see. There was a red umbrella behind every chair. Only then did Lu Yin notice that the blades were inserted into the ribs of the umbrellas. The handles of the umbrellas were actually sword hilts.
"Red Shirt, red umbrella, and red sword. This is the legendary Red Shirt beneath the stars. It's no wonder why everyone says that wherever a Red Shirt passes by, not even a blade of grass will grow. You guys cultivate the Path of Heartlessness, so you don't care about anything," Lu Yin said as he casually sat down on a chair.
