A few decades later, Lu Yin returned to the Tian Yuan Universe's Gu Flowzone. He sighed emotionally, as this was where he had first met Master Qingcao.
The Gu Flowzone's poisonous gas was much less than it had been in the past. Back then, he had needed to detoxify the poison before he could go to the Shengu Continent. Now, however, Lu Yin could disperse the poisonous gas with a wave of his hand. It was no different from fog.
"Try sensing it," Master Qingcao said.
Lu Yin stood in the Gu Flowzone and closed his eyes, silently sensing the Gu Flowzone's breathing.
Breathe in, breathe in, breathe in.
Every breath was different from the past. With each breath, it was as if he had opened another pair of eyes to look at the starry sky. It was still the same starry sky, but it was breathing. It was very weak, but why did he know that it was weak?
Yes, he had been here before. Although he had not sensed any breathing at that time, his body had remembered this feeling.
Breathing had activated his body's original memories. These memories were not physical, and there were no images, but they truly existed.
It was as if the universe had a common memory.
Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes. "It's the body."
Master Qingcao's eyes lit up. "Continue."
Lu Yin said, "Breathing has awakened the body's memories."
"Hahahaha, congratulations! You've completed the first step of cultivating Yama's Seven Needles."
Master Qingcao was delighted, and he looked at Lu Yin in amazement. He had said that Lu Yin's cultivation was slow, but how could it be slow?
In just a few decades, he had gone from nothing to comprehending the way of breathing. If this was slow, then humans would have been invincible long ago.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief, as this was comprehension.
Master Qingcao had never said this before. Only when he said it himself did it count as comprehension.
"Yama's Seven Needles. The first needle strikes the glabella, the second needle loosens the dead knot in the heart, and the fifth needle creates life.
This is the inheritance of the three needles that I obtained. "
"The first needle uses qi as a needle. It's formless and invisible, and it can break one's consciousness without harming the outside world. It can damage one's mind. See clearly." Master Qingcao did not do anything, but Lu Yin suddenly stared at the starry sky as if something had passed.
Master Qingcao said, "You were able to sense it because the difference in our strength is too great. If our cultivation levels were the same, you would not have been able to sense the trajectory of the first needle. The most terrifying thing is that the first needle strikes the enemy, and the enemy himself does not even know it. Of course, the strength of the first needle's power will depend on the strength of the qi.
Lu Yin exclaimed, "Senior, the person who created the Seven Needles of Yama is truly a genius. This technique is perfect for sneak attacks."
Let me ask you, when you are fighting with the enemy, if you suddenly shoot the first needle and directly break the enemy's perception, how can the enemy fight against you?
It seemed to have similar effects to the Karma Dao Sword, but it was much more convenient than the Dao Sword.
This was the legacy of the Seventh Stronghold.
The more they learned about Jiu Lei, the more shocked they were at the glory of the human civilization. They could not understand how it could be defeated.
The Second Stronghold's Path of Heartlessness used the Limitless Umbrella Prison to seal off the enemy and used the Sword of Heartlessness to break through the enemy's defenses.
The Fourth Barrier's Heavenly Eye could see through all illusions. It was infused with the Ten-Eyed Crow's innate talent, and it was always successful.
The Fifth Stronghold's Invincible Heart Technique. Although he had yet to see the Unrivaled Heart Affinity Technique, the Non-Phase Heavenly Skill was already quite powerful and had created You Che.
The Sixth Stronghold even had the invincible Taia Fanxing, who could destroy an entire fishing civilization with a single punch.
The Seventh Stronghold's Seven Needles of Yama were extremely magical.
The other strongholds didn't know much about its heritage, but it was definitely extremely powerful.
。
Not to mention the Turbid Artifacts in every stronghold.
Lu Yin could not imagine how intense that battle must have been for the powerful Jiu Lei to be destroyed.
Master Qingcao shook his head. "The ancestors of Jiu Lei were all honorable. Why would they use this as a sneak attack?"
Lu Yin did not refute him. Of course they would. It was too suitable.
"I'll now impart the Three Needles Cultivation Technique to you and lead you through the door of the Path of Breathing. How you cultivate from now on will depend on yourself. Next up is the second needle. The second needle will remove the dead knot in your heart. This needle is specifically used to save your life."
With that, Master Qingcao inserted the second needle. This was the second time Lu Yin had seen the second needle.
Last time, he could only hear the breathing of both Master Qingcao and Wang Xiaoyu. However, it was different this time. He could feel the connection of the second needle from Master Qingcao's breathing. He could feel the connection of their lives. It was no wonder that Master Qingcao was connected to Wang Wen and blamed him for the deaths of those people.
The senior who created the Seven Needles of Yama really knew how to think. The first needle was suitable for sneak attacks, and the second needle was very shameless. In that case, what about the third needle?
Unfortunately, there was no legacy.
"By the way, Senior, how did Wang Xiaoyu connect the second needle with you?
Did she learn it as well? "
Master Qingcao's gaze was complicated. "Xiaoyu did not learn it. She was too close to Wang Wen. Once she learned the Path of Breathing, Wang Wen would easily recognize her. She is just a node that I connected to the Path of Breathing. Of course, this node must breathe in sync with me. There is no need to cultivate the Path of Breathing."
Lu Yin nodded and did not ask any more questions.
"The Soulbreaker Five Needles. This needle is very unique. Even I have not been able to cultivate it completely. I have been troubled by it for a long time, wondering if it was because I was not suitable for it.
I found many people to learn it with me. Although those people did not manage to cultivate the Path of Breathing, the fifth needle is not completely derived from the Path of Breathing. "
"It is more like a method of drawing power."
"It is easy to draw power directly, but it is difficult to bring it into the Path of Breathing. You should be familiar with this needle."
Lu Yin was confused. "I've seen it before?"
Master Qingcao smiled. "The Ksitigarbha Needle."
Lu Yin's expression changed. "The Ksitigarbha Needle?"
Master Qingcao nodded. "When I first came to the Tian Yuan Universe, I met Lu Yuan when I was cultivating the fifth needle. He did not know my identity, so I made a simple deal with him using the fifth needle to draw power without leaving any impressions. I have made many such deals, but none of them were able to cultivate the fifth needle."
"I hoped to find an absolute genius who could cultivate the fifth needle to a certain level just by drawing power. This is something that no one can do."
"And the one who did the best was your Patriarch Lu Yuan. He mastered the fifth needle and used his drawing power to create a battle technique for recovery. He named it the Ksitigarbha Needle."
Lu Yin had not expected the Ksitigarbha Needle to have such an origin.
The Ksitigarbha Needle had always been an ultimate technique of the Lu family, but there were no clear records of who had passed it down. Had it actually come from Patriarch Lu Yuan?
Now that he knew the origin of the Ksitigarbha Needle, he finally understood why Patriarch Lu Yuan had not recorded that he had created the technique. It was because the technique had come from Master Qingcao.
"Although the Ksitigarbha Needle is derived from the fifth needle, the technique itself was created by Patriarch Lu Yuan. It is an ultimate technique of the Lu family."
"I can't learn it, but I hope you can."
Lu Yin asked, "Then, learning the
Fifth needle requires me to use the Ksitigarbha Needle in the Path of Breathing? "
Master Qingcao nodded. "The fifth needle is very powerful. It can not only heal, but the Ksitigarbha Needle is only one of its uses. If you can master it one day, don't forget to show it to me."
"Alright, I have passed on the three needles of Yama to you. Go into seclusion if you need to, but be careful."
Lu Yin nodded. "Thank you, Senior."
After Master Qingcao left, he went straight to the mirage domain to cultivate the three needles of Yama.
He did not know how long he stayed there, but he finally mastered the first and second needles, which were enough. As for the fifth needle, it was indeed difficult.
Could it be that the Seven Needles of Yama needed to be cultivated in order?
Lu Yin left the mirage domain and returned to the Above Heaven Sect. He learned that Shan Yue had been looking for him many times.
Lu Yin went to the Mountain Sword Sect's parallel universe to find Shan Yue.
When Shan Yue saw Lu Yin, he quickly bowed. "Greetings, Master Lu."
Lu Yin nodded. "Why are you looking for me?"
Shan Yue repeated Ni Jie's words.
Lu Yin did not believe that the karma transfer would disappear even after a hundred years, but what Ni Jie said about Ni Beiluo was still worth paying attention to.
Thus, he met Ni Jie again.
"Seeing me will allow you to reassign the karma transfer to me, but it is meaningless. If you do this, you will only be telling me that the karma transfer cannot last for a hundred years, but you can only live for another hundred years." Lu Yin's tone was cold.
Ni Jie quickly said, "I am not lying to you. The karma transfer has not disappeared."
"Are you trying to scare me?"
"No need. Although it has not disappeared yet, it will not last long. For an Eternal Life, such a short time is useless. What I really need to save my life is Ni Beiluo's situation."
Lu Yin stared at Ni Jie.
"Tell me."
Ni Jie's tone was low. "If I tell you, you will let me go."
Lu Yin did not agree immediately. He had already given Ni Jie to Shan Yue to deal with. This was an explanation to the Mountain Sword Sect's ancestor.
Ni Jie saw that Lu Yin did not agree immediately and hurriedly said, "My information can definitely help you. Even if it cannot deal with Ni Beiluo, it can at least give you another technique."
Lu Yin's heart jumped. "Never forget merit in this world?"
Ni Jie said, "Yes, never forget merit in this world."
Never forget merit in this world?
Lu Yin knew about it. He had seen it during the war with Ni Jie. During the war between the three universes, Ni Beiluo used Never Forget Merit to immobilize Life and Death Calamity Palm, creating an opportunity for him to attack both at the same time.
Never forget merit in this world was very powerful.
Unfortunately, he had cultivated too much.
"If it is only Never Forget merit in this world, you cannot buy your own life." Lu Yin said and turned to leave.
Ni Jie shouted, "What if I tell you that Ni Beiluo's karma was comprehended by Never Forget Merit in this world?"
Lu Yin turned and looked at Ni Jie in surprise. "What did you say?"
Ni Jie said, "Ni Beiluo could comprehend karma because of Never Forget Merit in this world."
"I know you don't need this technique, but if you use it to comprehend karma, you may be closer to Ni Beiluo's way of karma."
"Isn't this what you want the most?"
Lu Yin looked at Ni Jie deeply. "How do you know?"
Ni Jie saw that Lu Yin was not leaving and knew that he cared. His tone softened. "I have the Immortality Realm, and I have the ability to remember Mind Calamity. I can materialize the state of mind and break the enemy's state of mind."
"Ni Beiluo needs my help. He wants to use my Mind Calamity to find the flaw in his state of mind.
It's a pity that it couldn't do it even after trying too many times. "
"Mind Calamity is my ability. Although I did not see it clearly, every time Ni Beiluo used karma, I could feel Never Forget Merit in this world. Therefore, I am very sure that his karma came from Never Forget Merit in this world."
