With a loud bang, the void was crushed and the ground shattered. Chang Tian was smashed into the deep abyss, only then did Thousand Trickery's attack stop.
Lu Yin stared at the ground, afraid that Chang Tian would be killed.
Thousand Trickery put his hands behind his back, "Peak defense that is compatible with two universal laws."
Lu Yin was shocked, "It has such a high defense?"
Thousand Trickery praised, "As expected of the Ten Eyed Crow's talent, it can raise his defense by a few levels. If it was someone like Le Ku Jin, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him."
"This is just the beginning, this talent will increase as his cultivation increases. Once he breaks through to the level of compatible with two universal laws, this talent will allow him to protect himself against existences that are compatible with three universal laws. It's a very useful talent."
Lu Yin was envious, why didn't the three eyes that he met have this talent?
Crow Body Lock, Crow Turn, and Crow Body Blink were useful, but compared to this defense, they felt that they were lacking.
If his main body had this talent, how high would his defense be?
That's not right, if this defense was based on one's realm, even if he got it, it would not be as strong as his own defense.
But if it was based on actual combat power, it would be terrifying, he even dared to challenge Wang Wen.
"Does this talent increase based on one's realm or actual combat power?" He asked.
Thousand Trickery shook his head, "I still need to study it."
Lu Yin asked again, "Senior, if you keep attacking him, aren't you afraid of increasing karma?"
Thousand Trickery laughed, "I didn't kill him, an Eternal Realm doesn't mean that I can't move, those who don't even dare to spar are too tired."
Lu Yin thought of Startle Gate Shangyu and the others, they didn't even want to spar with him.
Of course, they weren't willing to do so now.
Underground, Chang Tian stood up with difficulty, there was blood at the corner of his mouth, and the feathers on his body faded.
The feather's defense couldn't exceed Thousand Trickery's limit, this defense was like nothing, it was better not to use it.
He would get beaten up easily if he used it.
He looked up at the dark ceiling, there were endless white bones around him. Listening to the conversation above, he couldn't help but feel sad.
It seemed like he wouldn't be able to return alive.
Xiao Zhi, Qing Yun, he might never meet them again.
On the surface, Lu Yin asked Thousand Trickery how to deal with Chang Tian.
Thousand Trickery wanted to study Heaven's Eye, he had no intention of removing the Ten Eyed Crow from Chang Tian's eyes.
"The Ten-Eyed Crow's eyes can be extracted?" Lu Yin was astonished.
Trickster Qian Ji bent his finger. "Of course you can. Today, I'll teach you a principle. This principle is something that I learned from observing countless creatures for countless years. It might be useful for you for the rest of your life."
"I'm not bluffing."
Lu Yin faced the Thousand Trickeries and bowed deeply, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Thousand Trickery's voice slowly appeared in his ears, "All living things in the universe have their own fairness. The so-called fairness is both external and internal."
"This is the natural fairness of life. No external force can stop it."
"For example, the Ten-eyed Divine Crow has reached the pinnacle of talent. Is this fair to other creatures?
Many creatures don't even have talent, so where does fairness come from? "
The Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at the starry sky. "It's reflected in being plundered."
His body had been plundered?
The Thousand Trickeries continued, "Have you ever seen a creature's talent being used, fought over, and stripped away after it dies?
Wait! "
Lu Yin shook his head, "Almost never." He thought of the Lu family's General Appointment Platform, which could also materialize.
The Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries grinned, "Yes, but it's rare. There's only one explanation for this: the fairness of life itself is at work. Because a creature's talent is too powerful, or rather, it's extremely powerful, the fairness of life itself will make it the target of countless creatures, bringing disaster to it."
"You lose as much as you gain. This is fairness."
Lu Yin stared blankly at the Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries. He had never heard of such a theory before.
The Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries sized Lu Yin up, "Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Geniuses will experience more hardships, and mortals will lose something if they want to succeed. The universe has always been fair, but you just can't see it."
"Another example would be a poisonous creature. There's an antidote within a hundred steps of it. Creatures reinforce and counteract each other, and the antidote is the fairness of the universe."
"There's no such thing as an invincible technique in this world. You humans have too many so-called invincible techniques in the Nine Walls Civilization.
But now, this is the fairness of the universe. "
Lu Yin's body trembled. The universe was fair?
This was the first time he felt that the word 'fairness' was terrifying.
The Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries patted Lu Yin's shoulder and left without saying anything else.
Lu Yin looked at its back and didn't know what to think for a moment.
Chang Tian was pressed to the bottom of the river where the Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries often stood.
Lu Yin tried his best not to show that he was paying attention to Chang Tian, in case the Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries noticed something.
But every once in a while, he would still take a look and occasionally hear a scream.
Screams.
The Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries was very interested in the Heaven's Eye, and Chang Tian was tortured quite a bit.
If he could never escape, he would rather be given the Bone Language directly.
But the Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries didn't lack in cursing Chang Tian. Every time he screamed, there would be a roar of curses.
As such, after nearly a hundred years, the Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries was no longer standing by the river.
Lu Yin was curious and went over to ask.
The Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries scratched its head, "That human is too stubborn. He doesn't say anything and scolds me every day. I've heard enough. I'll leave him alone for a while."
Lu Yin was puzzled, "Scolds him every day?"
The Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries nodded.
"Senior still cares about this?"
"The key is that I can't talk back."
Lu Yin understood. This was truly sullen. After being scolded for over a hundred years, he still couldn't say anything in return.
The Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries looked at Lu Yin, "Go ask him. At least you can talk back."
Lu Yin didn't refuse, as that would be too fake. He immediately left.
At the bottom of the river, Chang Tian was lying on his back. The water wasn't deep, and there were fish, prawns, and the occasional snake swimming around him. It was a scene full of vitality.
Lu Yin stood by the river and looked down at Chang Tian, "Why do you have to do this?
You'll never be able to escape anyway. I've already said everything that needs to be said. If the Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries loses interest in you, you won't have to suffer anymore. I'm doing this for your own good. "
Chang Tian sneered, "If you can't even endure a hundred years, what's the point?"
"It has nothing to do with time. I believe that with your perseverance, there's no point in torturing you for ten thousand years. Humans are all about the results. You'll eventually be thoroughly studied by it, so it's better to make things clear from the start and avoid the painful process."
Chang Tian looked at Lu Yin, "Is this why you willingly became a puppet of the Death Universe?"
Lu Yin.
He slowly sat down, "I was given the Bonespeech, and I can never resist the Death Universe."
Chang Tian's gaze shook, and much of the coldness in his eyes dissipated.
"Of course."
Lu Yin suddenly smiled, "Even without the Bonespeech, I still don't like Jiu Lei. I'm an abandoned descendant, and you're from the Celestial Clan. You escaped back then, so you have some knowledge of history. Perhaps you know that at the end of a war, a group of people were deceived into fleeing with hope, but in reality, they were bait to lure the enemy civilization to kill them and fight for Jiu Lei's survival. I'm the descendant of that bait."
Chang Tian stared blankly at Lu Yin; he obviously knew about this.
The Celestial Clan was the core of the Longevity Civilization's escape, so they knew a lot.
Although he wasn't born during Jiu Lei's era, he knew a little about that period's history.
Lu Yin's hatred for Jiu Lei made him feel stifled.
He could curse Trickery of a Thousand Trickeries, but he couldn't curse Lu Yin.
It was just like how Lu Yin had once understood Azure Lotus Emperor's actions.
Although he didn't curse, it didn't mean that he acknowledged Lu Yin. Lu Yin was now an enemy.
Chang Tian fell silent.
Lu Yin sat by the river and wasn't in a hurry to speak. He was trying to fuse the two forces together.
Time slowly passed, and Lu Yin didn't know how the conversation started, but Longevity Sky gradually told him some of the things he knew about Jiulei's past. To Longevity Sky, this was just history, so it wasn't anything important.
"During that period, we were most afraid of encountering those people from the Seventh Stronghold. They all looked righteous and claimed to be omnipotent, but they were actually very sinister. If anyone offended them, they would stuff needles under their buttocks and no one would know. My Celestial Clan suffered a lot, but we couldn't afford to offend them.
。”
"The Seventh Stronghold?
Those guys who are good at using needles? "
"Yes, that's them. I haven't experienced them, but the ancestors of my clan have suffered a lot. Yama's Seven Needles sounds domineering and mighty, but they're actually very sinister and ruthless, especially during the Jiu Lei Tournament. Let me tell you, they were the most sinister of all. In the years before the Jiu Lei Tournament, anyone of the same generation had to be careful of needles wherever they went, and many people fell for their tricks.
"If you want to talk about how despicable they were, all the arenas had to be checked for needles before the Jiu Lei Tournament. This has become a routine, so you'll understand how sinister they were."
"Did no one do anything about it?"
"Who cares?
The Seventh Stronghold is full of scoundrels. In Senior Changtu's words, they're little old men who are shameless. Shameless people are invincible. "
When Lu Yin learned Yama's Seven Needles, he had thought that they were good at sneak attacks.
…
"The most despicable was the Fifth Stronghold."
"The Fifth Stronghold?"
"That's a stronghold that cultivates mental techniques. I don't know how to cultivate mental techniques either. If the Seventh Stronghold is despicable, then the Fifth Stronghold is despicable. Once they thought that their generation couldn't win the Jiu Lei Tournament, they would think of ways to make their moves before the tournament began. The generation that left the deepest impression on me even made their moves early on and got a group of kids to play with the elite disciples of the other strongholds. They were all kids, so none of them had the heart to cultivate.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. That was what Xiang Xue had taught him.
…
"We, the Heavenly Eye clan, have always been envied by the other strongholds. They say that we're blessed by nature, but they don't know how difficult it is to cultivate eye power. Most of the time, they focus on cultivating their eye power, so they have fewer tricks up their sleeves compared to the other strongholds. Furthermore, the Heavenly Eye realm has long been figured out.
They've been trying their best to target us. "
…
