"Master Lu, why are you here?"
Xi Qi's appearance had not changed much. Although her cultivation had greatly improved and she was much older, she still had the innocent look of a young girl. Her aggrieved temperament was very obvious; she had been bullied by this despicable fish.
Lu Yin smiled. "Let it go. I think it has something to say."
Xi Qi's face paled, but she did not dare. Once she let it go, who knew what this despicable fish would say?
"It's fine, Xi Qi. We're old friends, right?" Lu Yin smiled. "There's also this fish."
Xi Qi was helpless and could only let go of the despicable fish's mouth.
If she did not, the despicable fish would bite her, and its tail was already whipping the back of her head.
"Oh, isn't this Lu Yin? Long time no see, hahahaha."
At this point, Xi Qi covered its mouth.
The despicable fish was furious, and it kept whipping the back of Xi Qi's head.
Lu Yin smiled. "Yes, long time no see."
It really had been a long time, and he could not even remember the last time he had seen this despicable fish. It seemed that the Above Heaven Sect had not been established yet.
Too many old friends had disappeared in the river of time, and some people simply could not remember them.
Xi Qi let go, and the despicable fish panted. "I've decided on you. Come, help Lord Fish."
Before it could finish speaking, Xi Qi was shocked, and she covered its mouth again.
Lu Yin asked, "What are you looking for?"
Xi Qi blushed. "N-nothing." Her hand suddenly twitched as she had been bitten. It hurt.
"Damn brat, why are you covering Lord Fish's mouth?
Are you rebelling? "
Xi Qi was furious, and she rolled her eyes. Fine, I won't care about you anymore. Whatever you say, it's your business to be punished by Master Lu.
After scolding Xi Qi, the despicable fish smiled at Lu Yin. "We're looking for poop."
Lu Yin: "??"
Xi Qi covered her face; this was too embarrassing.
The atmosphere became heavy.
Silence.
Even though Lu Yin had experienced many storms, he did not know how to respond. He could tell that the despicable fish was serious and was not joking around.
Xi Qi's expression was proof.
"Lu Yin, we're old friends. Come, help me find it." The despicable fish was excited.
Lu Yin looked at Cheap Fish and then at Xi Qi. "Your hobbies are quite unique."
Xi Qi really wanted to just drop down and die. She had been ridiculed for thousands of years by a fish riding on her head, but now, why was her life so bitter?
Cheap Fish slapped his tail: "That's right, I told you that you are the human pet that Lord Fish should choose. This damned girl is not cooperating at all. Only you can understand Lord Fish's hobby. Come, Lu Yin, have fun searching with Lord Fish."
"Alright, enough." Xi Qi couldn't help but want to send that cheap fish flying with a slap.
Cheap Fish was furious: "Damn girl, you still want to be a burden, be careful that Lord Fish doesn't abandon you."
Xi Qi's face flushed red, and she continuously bowed to Lu Yin. "Master Lu, I'm sorry. I'll take it away right now. Please don't mind what it says; it's gone crazy."
Cheap Fish crazily slapped the back of Xi Qi's head. "You're the one with a screw loose. This is a hobby and also an instinct. Lord Fish has a premonition that it will definitely transform. Go and find it for me. You must find it. Where did that damned bird fly to?
Was it that difficult to find its poop?
It must be very smelly, and it must have been hidden somewhere. Go and find it. We'll definitely find it. "
"Shut up." Xi Qi covered Cheap Fish's mouth. This time, she didn't let go no matter how much it bit.
Lu Yin coughed, somewhat regretting speaking to them. "Then I won't hinder you. Do as you please."
Xi Qi hurriedly leaped down, away from Lu Yin.
The further away, the better. This was too embarrassing.
"Right, I have something for you guys."
Lu Yin recalled that stinky item; he hadn't used it in a very long time. The last time he had taken it out was to deal with the Tiangou.
This item's stench was something that even the sequence laws could not conceal, which was inconceivable.
Back then, Lu Yin had not been able to crush it, but now, he definitely could. However, he didn't want to touch it.
Since Cheap Fish liked this smell, he would give it to it.
The stinky item fell into Xi Qi's arms, and a lifetime of trauma appeared. This stench was enough to make the Tiangou run away with its tail between its legs. Lu Yin and the others could not bear it, and Xi Qi almost fainted.
Cheap Fish was so excited that it almost fainted, as if it had seen the love of its life.
In Ninefirmaments Universe, Xiang Siyu had been very vexed recently.
Ever since the battle between the three universes, she realized that her luck had worsened. Bad things kept happening one after another, and these things had not bothered her in the past.
In the past, everything had gone according to her wishes. Whenever there was trouble, it would automatically disappear before she could even do anything.
She could easily obtain whatever she wanted.
She was not used to this situation.
As the First Peak Master of the Death Hillock's Three Mountains and Seven Peaks, she had the fewest subordinates because she did not need to deal with anything.
Now, however, she was very busy.
"Reporting to Peak Master, the news that we received was fake. The people who really wanted to steal the spirit seed have already moved."
Xiang Siyu was helpless, and her snow-white fingers rubbed her head. "Got it. Continue looking."
"Understood."
She was not the only one who was not used to it, as the people from the First Peak were not used to it either. When had they ever failed to find a mission in the past? Even if they were lost, they would still coincidentally bump into the person they needed to deal with.
But now, they had been played.
"It seems like you're very vexed." Lu Yin's voice traveled over.
Xiang Siyu
Siyu looked over and saw Lu Yin standing outside the First Peak, looking into the distance.
She walked over to his side. "When did you arrive?"
"Just now."
"You saw it?"
"Your good luck, is it gone?"
Xiang Siyu nodded helplessly. "It's gone ever since the battle between the three universes."
Lu Yin looked at Xiang Siyu. Gone?
He recalled the word "luck" that had been burned to ashes and Xiang Siyu's injuries. She had not participated in the battle, but she had still been injured. There was blood on the ground.
"Is it related to me?"
Xiang Siyu replied, "I don't know, but it should be."
She looked at Lu Yin with a hint of schadenfreude. "Although I'm not used to it, I'd rather lose my good luck. Perhaps I could walk the path of immortality. But you're different. Master Lu, if my good luck is used up because of you, then do you think the backlash will be you or me?"
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "I hope it's you."
Xiang Siyu rolled her eyes. "You're really not polite."
"But it should be me." Lu Yin said.
"Because those three words turned to ashes?" Xiang Siyu asked.
Lu Yin nodded. "You saw it."
Xiang Siyu grunted. "Seeing those words turn to ashes with my own eyes. To be honest, it's a little strange."
"Is it as strange as your injuries?"
"Yes, I don't even know why I spat out blood. Strange, isn't it?"
Lu Yin frowned. That was the most unsettling thing.
The three universes had been fixed in place by the Primogenitor's palace, and it had not been long before the seal had been broken. Nan Ling had wanted to kill Grandmaster Qingcao, and the Godking had wanted to destroy the people of the Tian Yuan Universe. Lu Yin had just broken through and returned. It would be strange if he did not have luck, but how had the timing been so accurate?
The three words had turned to ashes, and Xiang Siyu had spat out blood. It had all happened at that time.
At that moment, he had used up all of his good luck. If he had not been lucky, what would have happened?
The people of the Tian Yuan Universe had died?
Grandmaster Qingcao had died?
Or even the universe had been rebooted?
Did that count as him changing karma?
Just the thought of the backlash was terrifying.
The amount of happiness that good luck could bring was equal to the amount of disaster that bad luck could bring.
In the path of karma, there was a cause and effect. He had saved the three universes because of his breakthrough in strength, but also because of his luck. His breakthrough in strength had allowed him to close the karma binding him. So where was the karma effect?
Xiang Siyu waved a hand in front of Lu Yin. "What, are you scared?"
Lu Yin admitted, "A little."
"You're Master Lu, the strongest person in human civilization. Even that traitor Red Hero might not be your match. How can you be scared?"
"I'm scared. People are never scared of what they can see clearly, but what they can't see clearly."
"That's true. How about this, I'll do my best to recover my luck. As long as my luck is good, you'll be able to rest easy."
"What does that have to do with your luck?"
"It means that you haven't ruined my good luck."
Lu Yin was speechless.
Xiang Siyu suddenly smiled. "If I really don't have any luck, then you won't need me. It seems that it won't be so easy to see you in the future."
Lu Yin smiled and left.
Next up was Dongxu Mountain, but there was no rush. He would have to wait a few more years.
The battle between Dongxu Mountain and Delight City had ended, but he did not immediately head over to prevent the unknown and undead universes from spying on him. If they found him at Dongxu Mountain, they would know that he knew about the battle between Dongxu Mountain and Delight City, and they would be able to guess what was going on.
His own clone.
He could not be discovered.
He returned to his seclusion grounds in the Tian Yuan Universe and sat down cross-legged to cultivate. He did not do so to increase his cultivation, but rather to calm his heart.
He thought about the past.
Several years passed in this manner. Lu Yin opened his eyes, walked out of the void, and headed towards Dongxu Mountain.
He teleported time and time again until he was close to the speed of an Eternal Realm cultivator who had been cultivating for two hundred years.
When he had first seen Dongxu Mountain with his skeleton clone, he had seen a blurry mountain that seemed to be hidden within the void. At the time, his attention had been focused on You Che, so he had not been able to see the mountain clearly. However, he could still vaguely remember its outline.
Now, the location was still the same, but the mountain was no longer blurry. Instead, it was clearly visible within a square inch. There were dilapidated walls and shattered peaks everywhere. Water mixed with bones and aquatic plants flowed everywhere. There was also blood of various colors. It was a completely ruined place.
Dongxu Mountain was not as large as a universe, but it still contained countless stars and countless lifeforms. Even though many had died, there were still many lifeforms left.
In the past, Lu Yin had thought that Dongxu Mountain was a universe of its own, but now it seemed that this was not the case. Otherwise, the battle would have already begun.
From another perspective, although Dongxu Mountain was not a universe, it was connected to a small branch of a large tree that covered a square inch of space. The only thing missing was the mother tree, which was the branch itself.
There did not seem to be any powerhouses from the unknown or undead universes left behind.
Lu Yin looked at Dongxu Mountain and teleported once more, arriving outside of it.
At such a close distance, Dongxu Mountain was spectacular. It was much larger than the Above Heaven Sect, and there were countless stars revolving within.
Some of the caves even contained stars.
The stars encompassed the vast starry sky of the universe.
