Hehe, the old man had promised to touch the River of Time, but this was not the method he had used.
Otherwise, Lu Yin would have done it long ago.
One was to try to touch and comprehend it, while the other was to be swept away. These were two different concepts.
They were like tamed beasts and wild beasts.
The River of Time swayed, and the ferryman was killed.
Chen Jian Eternity looked at the Big Dipper Remnant Star with a complicated expression.
The ferryman's death did not matter much, as he had just vented his anger. He was only reluctant to part with the Big Dipper Remnant Star.
That punch had been said to have killed the ferryman, but it was more of a farewell to the star. From now on, the Big Dipper Remnant Star would no longer exist, and his punch would no longer exist.
"Let me do it," Chen Jian Eternity said.
Lu Yin was just about to extend the Sequence of Strings when he heard Chen Jian Eternity's words. He refused, saying, "There are too many creatures in this universe. If you destroy them, it will be troublesome if you are bound by karma."
Chen Jian Eternity thought about it and did not insist. He just wanted to send Chen Jian Eternity off.
To capture a tributary of the River of Time, one needed to completely destroy a universe. Only when that universe was gone would time cease to exist. Otherwise, if a tributary of the River of Time was captured, that universe's time would be completely chaotic. Where did time come from?
Naturally, it came from the River of Time.
Even the mirage domain could not escape from the River of Time's time.
Once a universe's time was completely chaotic, it would be like an irregular whirlpool above the River of Time, and it would easily lead to bad things.
Thus, even if one could capture a tributary of the River of Time without destroying the universe, very few people would do so.
Next, Lu Yin found the Sequence of Strings in Chen Jian Eternity and threw them out one by one, extending them infinitely into the Space. With his strength, every string would inevitably extend.
They would extend to the limit until they completely merged into the Space.
Some universes took a long time, while others were very fast. This depended on the resilience of the universe's Sequence of Strings, as well as the strength of the user.
Chen Jian Eternity and Ninefirmaments Universe were on completely different levels.
There were too few Sequence of Strings.
Lu Yin and Chen Jian Eternity stood in the starry sky and waited quietly.
After a while, Chen Jian Eternity shouted, "We're here."
Lu Yin looked in front of him and saw that the Sinking Star universe was like a tiled painting that stretched out endlessly. Then, it began to deepen, and within it, the stars shattered one by one as countless creatures wailed in agony.
Lu Yin closed his eyes. He couldn't bear it, but he had no other choice. No matter which universe captured a tributary of the Long River of Time, they would have to experience this scene.
This was the distance of a square inch.
Therefore, the human civilization had to constantly grow stronger.
Otherwise, sooner or later, he would experience the same thing.
Looking from afar, the entire Sinking Star Universe looked like an abyss. It was pitch-black from the inside out. Everything inside was shattering and then merging into the boundless space. Just as the Blood Tower Imperial Guard had said, this scene was very sad but also very magnificent.
Chen Jian Yongsheng suddenly took a step forward and looked ahead with a complicated expression. Over there was the Big Dipper Remnant Star, and all the stars around it had shattered, spreading to it.
Lu Yin looked over as well.
The Big Dipper Broken Star was already on the verge of shattering. Now, it was completely shattered. However, the moment it shattered, a blinding light bloomed, illuminating the starry sky. It became the most dazzling scene in the surroundings. This scene was not only filled with light, but also with a fist.
Lu Yin's eyes widened, as he saw someone unleash a punch that caused the heavens and earth to collapse and the universe to tumble backwards. That punch blossomed with an ancient radiance, and it did not disappear in a flash. Instead, it eventually formed the Big Dipper Remnant.
Star.
The Big Dipper Remnant Stars weren't stars, but rather the power of a single fist. It was a fist that was struck out by someone, left behind until now, becoming a power that transcended past and present.
Chen Jian Yongsheng's jaw dropped. So this was the real Big Dipper Remnant Star?
He looked at Lu Yin, and just as he was about to say something, he saw that Lu Yin's eyes were lifeless as he stared into the distance. Was this an epiphany?
Lu Yin instinctively took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the Big Dipper Remnant Star. He looked at the fist that was heading towards him and slowly closed his eyes.
The fist passed through his body. This fist originated from ancient times, and even after such a long period of time, he could still feel the fist's intent.
He had also learned the Starry Fist, and he hadn't thought much of it at first. However, at this moment, he suddenly had an epiphany. A star chart appeared in his mind, and it was as if there were stars spiraling around. One of the stars lit up, and it was the Big Dipper Remnant Star. No, to be more precise, it was the Big Dipper Fist Star.
That fist had lit up the Big Dipper Fist Star, and it had also opened up the true mystery of the Starry Fist — the Astral Fist Manual.
Lu Yin finally understood that this was the true Starry Fist.
The Starry Fist that had been passed down in Sinking Star Universe was true, but it also wasn't. They couldn't comprehend the true Starry Fist, and they had to open up the Astral Fist Manual to truly step into the Starry Fist.
A gust of wind blew past, and Lu Yin regained consciousness. Sinking Star Universe was still fusing into the Core Space, and it didn't affect him much. The destruction of a universe couldn't hurt him.
He looked into the distance and met Chen Jian Eternity's gaze.
Chen Jian Eternity was excited, as he had guessed something.
Now wasn't the time to talk. Sinking Star Universe was about to melt, and it was time to capture a tributary of the River of Time.
Lu Yin teleported and disappeared.
Chen Jian Eternity took a deep breath. So this was the key to opening up the Starry Fist.
The key.
His masters had always said that they were missing a key. The Starry Fist was the Starry Fist, but the Starry Fist that they cultivated was fundamentally different from his own.
They had tried everything they could to cultivate it, but they couldn't do it.
Sinking Star Universe's Starry Fist could only rely on the Big Dipper Remnant Star, which was an incomplete cultivation path for a civilization.
What had left the deepest impression on him was what his masters had mentioned — the Astral Fist Manual.
But it was gone, as his masters couldn't help him open it. Countless years had passed, and those four words had been completely covered in dust.
The Big Dipper Remnant Star would become history, and his masters would die long ago.
But at this moment, he understood that the key had always been there, and it was the Big Dipper Remnant Star. But who would have thought that it might not have been useful even if he had known? At the very least, he hadn't had an epiphany just now. Only Mister Lu had.
If that scene had really opened the Astral Fist Manual, then Mister Lu was the only one who could do it.
Chen Jian Eternity was bitter. He knew very well that he wasn't suited to cultivate fist techniques. His personality limited him, but Sinking Star Universe only had fist techniques.
"Master, perhaps Mister Lu can restore the glory of the Starry Fist."
The endless shattering finally returned to peace!
Lu Yin appeared beside Chen Jian Eternity, and Sinking Star Universe had completely disappeared, leaving nothing behind.
The position of the Big Dipper Remnant Star was like an empty Core Space.
Chen Jian Eternity looked at Lu Yin. "Did you succeed?"
Lu Yin nodded. He had captured the tributary of the River of Time and placed it in the void of his heart. To be honest, he was a little reluctant to hand it over to Eight Color, but he had no choice since he had to repay that old man for saving his life.
However, he would have another chance to capture it in the future.
"Senior, I just saw the real Starry Fist," Lu Yin said.
Chen Jian Eternity
"Did you see the Astral Fist Manual?"
Lu Yin nodded. "The Astral Fist Manual?
A very appropriate name. Yes, the Big Dipper Remnant Star is actually a star lit up by the Starry Fist. "
"I knew it! That's great, that's great, hahaha."
Chen Jian Eternity laughed and looked at Lu Yin excitedly. "My masters didn't lie to me. The Starry Fist is the strongest fist technique in the universe. Mister Lu, you have opened the real Starry Fist, so you must cultivate it. I promise you that this fist technique will make you invincible. Really, it will definitely make you invincible."
Lu Yin experienced the power of the Starry Fist. This fist technique was definitely strong enough to be a trump card in battle, but it wasn't invincible.
There was no such thing as invincible power in the universe.
Whether it was a fist technique or a sword technique, there was always the possibility of being broken.
However, he also wanted to see the power of the Starry Fist after successfully cultivating it.
Cultivating the Starry Fist required continuous comprehension of the fist intent, and the Big Dipper Remnant Star had shown him that. He could comprehend that fist intent, but what about the other fist intents?
He still needed time, a very long time.
There was one more thing he didn't say, as he didn't want to discourage Chen Jian Eternity.
The Starry Fist didn't seem to be a fist technique meant for killing, but rather focused on the cultivation of civilization.
For example, the Big Dipper Remnant Star had a fist intent that transcended the past and present. It was clearly not a fist technique meant for killing, but for cultivation.
Perhaps the stronger the civilization, the stronger the fist intent.
This fist intent was more in line with the Ninth Base Civilization's position. The Starry Fist should have originated from a certain stronghold.
"Senior, have you really not heard your masters mention anything about the strongholds?"
"No, I haven't."
Lu Yin was helpless. Chen Jian Eternity had concealed history because he wanted to scheme against Red Hero.
It was obvious that there was no need to hide it.
He couldn't get an answer from Chen Jian, so he could only get it from Red Hero.
Lu Yin turned in the mission and asked Master Grass to take him there.
Eight Colors confirmed that Lu Yin had completed the mission, giving him a Three Stars reward.
This reward was different from the one he'd received during the war, as it had come too suddenly and in too much quantity.
"Lu Yin, please select the Three Stars reward you wish to redeem."
"No, I'll keep it."
"Please select a mission."
"Three Stars again. I want to take the mission of drawing a star chart, so I should be able to choose it myself."
"Yes, it's a three-star mission. Draw a star chart with fixed coordinates as the starting point." She then passed the portal to Lu Yin, and he could use the unknown portal to reach his destination directly.
Lu Yin didn't know exactly where this location was or how far it was from the three universes. It might be close, or it might be far away.
Thus, there was a certain amount of danger involved in completing this mission, and it wasn't as safe as drawing a star chart in the three universes.
No one could help him with this location.
It wouldn't be a problem for Lu Yin to draw it himself, but he didn't have the time to do such a thing. He could only leave it to others, and the fewer people there were, the slower the mission would be. Someone had to be able to teleport as well.
Currently, there were five people in the three universes who could teleport: Lu Yin himself, Lu Yuan, and three juniors of the Lu family, two men and one woman. One of them was Lu Suan, the first person to be born with an innate gift after Lu Yin and Lu Yuan. He was a genius who had attracted the attention of the three universes.
Unfortunately, he was born too arrogant and unrestrained, so much so that Lu Yin had punished him and sent him away.
After that, he requested to seal his memories so that he could train. Speaking of which, Lu Yin hadn't seen him for a long time.
