He had seen scenes of cultivation in Ruby's past, but the results disappointed him. Her cultivation of the Ruthless Path was extremely shallow.
It could even be said that her cultivation was crude.
"You don't seem to know much about the Ruthless Path."
Ruby knew that Lu Yin was looking at her karma, but she did not mind. "More than half of the Ruthless Path has been lost. Our civilization only cultivates part of it. If not for that, we would not have needed Master to save us.
A true Red Coat below the Stars is very, very strong. "
"How many points are there in the Ruthless Path?" Lu Yin asked.
Ruby was shocked.
How many points?
This was something that only those who cultivated the Ruthless Path would know. She was excited.
"Mr. Lu, do you know something?
Did you find my civilization? "
Lu Yin asked, "Answer me. How many points are there in the Ruthless Path?"
Ruby suppressed her excitement and answered, "Legend has it that there are nine points."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Nine points?
"Where did this legend come from?"
Ruby shook her head. "I don't know. It was just passed down. Perhaps it has something to do with the Nine Bases. Nine points is the limit."
"You know about the Nine Bases?" Lu Yin was surprised.
Ruby nodded. "I know a little.
But not much. "
Lu Yin was about to ask something else.
Suddenly, a chill flashed through his mind as he stared at Hong 'er. "The words' nine bases'.
"How did you know about the Nine Bases?"
Ruby did not hide anything and answered everything he asked. "It's a legend of our civilization."
"You didn't learn about it here?"
"How can you know about it here?" Ruby was puzzled.
Lu Yin stared at Ruby. No, this was definitely not right. This civilization knew about the Nine Bases.
It had come from Ancestor Shan.
Lu Yin had gone to the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad and learned about the Nine Bases through Ancestor Shan. He had learned about the peak of the human race, and soon after, Azure Lotus Protector and the others had learned about it as well. It should have gradually spread through this civilization, but not much.
When Ruby mentioned the Nine Bases, Lu Yin subconsciously thought that she had learned about it after him, but she had only said a few words from their civilization.
This was not right. This proved that Ruby had known about the Nine Bases before him.
At that time, no one had known about it. Even the jade stone that Azure Lotus Protector had shown him had blurred out the number nine and could not be seen clearly. There was only one base.
This proved that no one before him had known about the Nine Bases.
But Hong 'er knew. Hong' er had been brought here by Lord Blue Lotus. If she knew, how could Lord Blue Lotus not know?
Did Lord Blue Lotus not know anything about Hong 'er's civilization?
A person who cultivated karma, even if the direction of development was different from his.
He focused on killing, but because he comprehended karma, he could more or less find out some things. Why hadn't he heard of Ninth Base?
Had he really never heard of it, or had he heard of it and decided not to mention it?
Lu Yin stared at Hong 'er, "Does Azure Lotus know about the Nine Bases?"
..........................................................
............
"Have you ever mentioned the nine bases to Minister Qing Lian?"
.....
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
If Lord Green Lotus knew about Jiu Lei but deliberately concealed it, then that was not right.
Even though it was meaningless to hide the fact that he had once given up on the Red Coat civilization, just like how he had stopped Hong 'er from talking to him.
. But there could be other reasons.
Everyone had their secrets. Ruby.... Ruby.... Not only did he want to find out Azure Lotus Protector's secret, but this secret involved the entire human civilization. He did not know what to think. His mind was in a mess. Recent events had challenged his understanding.
Azure Lotus Protector had always protected human civilization, but he had given up the entire universe of the Red Coats, leaving the countless people in that universe to fend for themselves.
To him, he did not care about right or wrong. His past grievances were beyond Ruby's knowledge.
If he still hid the fact that he knew about the Nine Bases Civilization, then.
It was normal for a person to have secrets, but it would be abnormal if they had too many secrets.
Did Azure Lotus Protector know about the Nine Bases Civilization before he went to the Seven Treasures Heavenly Toad?
Ruby... Ruby. She had never mentioned the Nine Bases Civilization to Azure Lotus Protector, just like how she had completely concealed the fact that she came from the Red Coats. The other Seven Fairies did not think that she was human.
If this did not involve his state of mind, he would still hide it.
Ruby did not understand why Ruby was so obsessed with the Nine Bases Civilization. It was just a legend, and even in legends, it was very vague.
Lu Yin left the Mangrove Forest and arrived at the edge of the Sea of Ye. He gazed at the boundless Sea of Ye, unable to let go of his worries.
Azure Lotus Protector had always protected humans and helped him. In his heart, Azure Lotus Protector was a kind elder. He hoped that this elder would always be the same and would never change.
He hoped that Azure Lotus Protector did not know about the Nine Bases Civilization before him and did not deliberately hide it.
Even if he did hide it, it would be to hide the fact that he had given up the Red Coats.
Ruby. Hope. Hope. When there was too much hope, was it still hope?
Instead of thinking about it, he might as well ask Azure Lotus Protector directly.
However, Azure Lotus Protector was in seclusion.
Lu Yin thought about it and released his Karma Heavenly Dao, which gradually spread towards Ye Sea.
"What are you doing, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Yin answered, "I had an epiphany while observing the Karmic Sea."
Ruby. "You are indeed Mr. Lu. Please help yourself." Then, he retreated far away.
The Karma Celestial Phenomenon covered the entire universe, and the Ruby. Ruby. Ruby.
It was not strange for Ruby to have an epiphany.
Even though this was the Ye Sea and there was the power of the Azure Lotus, Ming Zhuo believed that his master would not object to Lu Yin cultivating here.
He remembered that his master had said that Ruby was a variable in the current human civilization. He was also a leader. Every improvement he made meant the improvement of human civilization.
Epiphany often meant a breakthrough.
He also hoped that Ruby would break through. If Ruby was already so strong, how strong would he be if he could break through to the Eternal Realm with karma?
Ruby could not imagine it.
Ruby. Ruby. Of course, Ruby was not having an epiphany. He wanted to use his karma to search the Ruby. He wanted to comfort himself and turn his hope into reality.
Karma spiraled back and forth. It did not touch the Sea of Karma itself. It was the power of the Azure Lotus Defense, but it touched everything above the Sea of Karma that was not karma. It even touched the lotus pond that he had fallen into.
If someone who could see karma was here, they would be shocked.
Karma spirals flew everywhere in the Ruby. The Karma Celestial Dao covered everything.
For three days, the karma spirals pierced through countless things. They did not even let go of stones. Some stones were touched more than once. Ruby gradually calmed down.
He knew that his actions were meaningless. If the Ruby of Azure Lotus Protector was deliberately hiding something, there would not be any flaws.
But he still did it. He turned his hope into reality and suppressed his doubts and uneasiness. This was his goal.
Suddenly, Ruby's gaze trembled. He stared blankly at a corner. It was the location of the Ruby.
When he had comprehended the Ruby murals, he had comprehended the Karma City Wall. He had even broken a piece of the murals.
At this moment, Ruby stared at the murals. The murals were carved on a stone. There was a mark on the back of the stone. It was very faint and almost unnoticeable.
Ruby. Ruby. Ruby.
The shape was a gourd.
A wine gourd. It was exactly the same as Jiu Wen's.
This alone did not mean anything. The Ninth Spirit of the Spiritualized Universe and Qing Xing of the Nine Heavens Universe both used wine gourds to drink. Wine gourds were very common. However, what really caught Ruby's attention was the mark on the back of the stone. He had seen that mark before. It was the mark of the Heartless Sect.
Every sect, family, and power had its own unique symbol that represented that power.
The Heartless Sect was no exception.
The mark on the stone was the mark of the Heartless Sect. This wine gourd belonged to Jiu Wen and could not belong to anyone else.
Three days had passed, and Ruby had not noticed it at first. However, the karma spiral had flown around randomly, and he had finally touched the back of the murals just as he was about to leave. He had touched the mark of the wine gourd.
The Heartless Sect's Jiu Wen had been here before.
Ruby retracted his gaze and did not alert the Jade of Azure Lotus Protector. He acted as if nothing had happened and left.
He wanted to go to the Red Shirt civilization and find out what was going on.
Jiu Wen had been to the Ruby of Azure Lotus Protector's conversation with the Red Shirt civilization. Why had he not mentioned it?
Why had he hidden the Ninth Base?
What was the Red Shirt civilization that the Jade of Azure Lotus Protector had given up on?
It was definitely not the Red Shirt civilization that Ruby had been to before. That civilization was not necessarily weaker than the current human civilization. Why had the Jade of Azure Lotus Protector given it up?
Since the Jade of Azure Lotus Protector had hidden this matter, it was impossible for him to know about it here. Ruby believed that the Blood Tower Protector and the Startled Gate Protector did not know about it, so he could only search for answers in the Red Shirt civilization.
Based on the Jade of Azure Lotus Protector's actions, Ruby of Azure Lotus Protector should trust him unconditionally, just like how the Jade of Azure Lotus Protector sometimes trusted him unconditionally.
However, when he thought about Heartless Valley and the Red Coats beneath the Stars and the few Eternal Realm cultivators, Lu Yin felt disgusted. Then, he thought about how Qing Lian Shangyu had given up on Hong 'er's universe and left the humans in that universe to fend for themselves. He felt that this was in line with the Heartless Path.
Was this in line with the Heartless Path?
If so, what should he do?
He did not wish for the elders that he respected to become parallel. Based on his interactions with the Jade of Azure Lotus Protector, it was unlikely that someone like He Xiao would be like that.
Wait a minute. Ruby's expression changed. If the Jade of Azure Lotus Protector had communicated with the Red Shirt civilization, then Jiu Wen really did not know that he could teleport?
Judging from Jiu Wen's posture, it seemed that he really did not know.
Ruby took a deep breath. No matter what, the fact that he had been able to escape from the Red Shirt civilization meant that even if Jiu Wen knew about it, he would not make things difficult for him. In that case, he could investigate.
Perhaps Jiu Wen's arrival was just an accident. No matter what, the Red Shirt civilization was still a human civilization, and they would not make an enemy out of them. Otherwise, the Red Shirt civilization would have killed their way over after so many years.
Even if the Jade of Azure Lotus Protector had hidden this matter, he had his own reasons. No one had said that he had to reveal his secrets.
However, whether or not the Jade of Azure Lotus Protector revealed it would not affect Ruby's investigation.
Ruby found the Blood Tower Protector and asked him to find a group of people who were good at swindling and had rich emotions. He wanted to bring them to the Red Shirt civilization and see what the results would be. This experiment would directly affect how the three universes interacted with the Red Shirt civilization in the future.
