Lu Yin stared at Trickster in a daze.
Trickster's smile overlapped with Wang Wen's, and Lu Yin found it strangely similar.
Was this Wang Wen's plan?
All the attention, praise, and rewards from the beginning was just to test the Death Master?
His purpose in teaching Lu Yin the Sky Piercing Technique was to let the Death Master know that if Lu Yin really became the Abyss and worshipped the Death Master, he would not be able to come out alive.
Lu Yin had not thought of this.
The main thing was that the Unknowables had been too kind to him. They had even imparted the Heavenly Skill to him. He thought that he had played the two behemoths in the palm of his hand. In fact, whether it was Wang Wen or the Act of a Thousand Trickeries, they did not care about the Unknowables and the Death Universe. What they were playing for was the existence of the Death Lord.
Actor of a Thousand Trickeries clasped his hands behind his back. "The Master of Death is the foundation of the Death Universe. You are just a stepping stone for the Unknowns to test the Master of Death. With the Master of Death, the Unknowns won't be able to do anything.
Now, do you still want to be the Abyss? "
Lu Yin did not understand. "Senior, why are you telling me this?"
Trickster smiled. "Wang Wen was right about one thing. This is my only chance to surpass him."
He raised his bear paw and made a slapping gesture. "I want to slap Wang Wen's face. Defeating him is enough. This is more important to me.
Although I don't care about the Death Universe's war, it's not good to be too weak. The Death Master's existence is too important to the war. "
"You may be a small fry, but small fries can be very useful."
Trickster looked at Lu Yin standing calmly in the sky and grinned. "Don't underestimate Wang Wen.
He doesn't care about you. "
Lu Yin bowed to Trickster. "Thank you for the reminder."
Thousand Trickery casually waved his hand and said, "You're actually quite good. Although you're still young, you have your own plans. Originally, I wouldn't have brought this matter up because I wanted to see what methods Wang Wen had used to push you to the position of Abyssal Lord without me being able to stop him.
"Not bad."
"Chen, although you're just a chess piece, you jumped out of the chessboard and forced me to tell the truth. Wang Wen must not have expected this."
"Not bad, hahahaha," Qian Ji praised as he patted Lu Yin's shoulder.
Lu Yin felt a lingering fear, as he had almost been tricked. He had really thought that he could scheme against Wang Wen and the Thousand Trickeries, but all he had done was jump out of the chessboard.
But this time, he was tricked not because he was not smart enough or not cautious enough, but because he did not know what Wang Wen and Qian Ji were playing.
Actually, it was just that his level was not high enough.
Looking at the laughing Thousand Trickeries, Wang Wen's faint smile appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.
He let out a sigh of relief. That wasn't too bad. Being able to jump out of the chessboard in front of these two old monsters was pretty good.
However, no matter how he looked at it, he wanted to hammer these two old fellows to death.
Just as he was thinking, Black Immortal Prison Bone arrived with Le Ku Jin.
"Hey, isn't this Chen?
Yo yo, why are you here? "Le Gu's withered body swayed.
Black Immortal Prison Bone's tone was cold: "I cannot forcefully break the Clear Heaven Lock Earth formation, I need your help."
Qian Ji nodded, glanced at Lu Yin, and thought for a moment. "You can stay here. Wait for me to send them to the Clear Heaven Lock Earth formation, then I'll bring you back. If you don't appear in this battle, I will.
I want to see what Wang Wen will do. "
After speaking, Black Immortal Prison Bone brought Le Ku Jin and Le Ku Jin away.
Lu Yin stood above the Ocean of Death and fell silent for a moment before descending.
Qian Ji's method of dealing with Wang Wen was to remain unchanged, but Lu Yin could not not participate.
Jumping out of the chessboard was the first step. Since he had seen his goal clearly, he had to step out of his own game.
Although these two old fellows were sinister, Lu Yin was also hiding in the shadows.
Let's see who will have the last laugh.
The Clear Heaven Lock Earth formation could not be broken by force, or else it would be useless to the Death Universe.
Back then, Lu Yin had relied on the River of Time's ferryman to enter. Now that the ferryman had been taken away, Qian Ji and the others could only find a way to enter on their own.
Lu Yin did not understand Qian Ji's mastery of sourcebox arrays, but it would still take some time no matter how fast it was.
This was the perfect time for Lu Yin to walk around the Ocean of Death.
The Ocean of Death's underworld pressure was still there, but it had nothing to do with him as long as it did not stop him.
Lu Yin walked along the surface of the ocean as if he was taking a tour.
The Ocean of Death's underworld pressure did not stop him.
He encountered many creatures from the Death Universe along the way, but he did not know if they had always been in the Ocean of Death or if they had just arrived. He did not attempt to communicate with them, and they had no intention of communicating with him either. It was as if they were in two different worlds.
Dozens of years passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Yin's walking speed was not fast, and it was far from the speed of an Eternal Realm cultivator. This was why he had not reached the end of the Ocean of Death even after dozens of years.
However, he had discovered the Ocean of Death's underworld pressure's abyss, which was located in a dark yellow fog above a certain corner of the Ocean of Death.
He had discovered it because there was a white skeletal tail hanging down from the fog.
Only creatures from the Abyss or the Death Universe could enter the Ocean of Death.
Even the Ocean of Death's underworld pressure could not ignore this rule. Lu Yin was an exception, but there were not many exceptions.
Since a white skeletal creature had appeared, it meant that the Ocean of Death's underworld pressure's abyss had been found.
He did not enter rashly, but instead asked respectfully, "Senior Ocean of Death's underworld pressure, may I enter the abyss?"
"You may." The Ocean of Death's underworld pressure agreed.
Lu Yin was once again grateful. Seeing that the Ocean of Death's underworld pressure did not ask him why he wanted to enter, he did not say anything else. He leaped up and charged into the dark yellow fog.
The world turned upside down, and the moment he entered the dark yellow fog, the Ocean of Death seemed to have reversed itself, turning into a sky while Lu Yin descended into a bottomless abyss of darkness.
This was a dark cliff that was similar to Seeker's Trace, but unlike Seeker's Trace, there were no vines here, only endless black rocks. There were also many white skeletal creatures climbing up the cliff.
When he looked up, the Ocean of Death was like a tumbling curtain.
He could not see the abyss clearly from the Ocean of Death, but he could see the Ocean of Death clearly from the abyss?
Lu Yin walked along the abyss, using his Mirroring Technique to easily see that there were countless white skeletons at the bottom of the abyss, like a graveyard of time. Some of the skeletons were moving, while others were not.
His goal was to find a sword test stone, and at the same time, he wanted to see if there were any human skeletons here.
After looking for a long time, he did not find any human skeletons, and he also found a sword test stone.
It was easy to see that there was nothing around it, and the cliffs were different from the other areas, as if they had been ground flat by something.
None of the white skeletons dared to approach.
Lu Yin approached the Sword Test Stone. He knew that the Ocean of Death's Underworld Pressure was watching him, but he had interacted with the Sword Test Stone before. Everyone knew about the battle where Rou Shi Xun had helped Li Luochen plot against that old fellow.
One of Rou Shi Xingxun's guardians was the sword test stone.
It did not attack human skeletons, which was a well-known fact.
Lu Yin walked in front of the sword test stone, but he did not show anything. Instead, he walked around it in a circle, seemingly curious.
After a while, the sword test stone moved and slashed at itself.
Lu Yin was surprised, but then he remembered that the sword test stone had been grinding itself all this time. It was a stone, and the reason it had a human appearance was because it had been grinding itself. Its appearance was the same as the swordmasters on the eighth wall.
The first slash did not leave a mark, and then it slashed again and again, grinding itself.
Lu Yin did not understand. "Senior, what is it doing?"
The Ocean of Death's voice sounded out, and it seemed to admire Lu Yin as it had said before. "Instinct."
"Instinct?"
"It is a sword test stone that has been grinding for countless years. Even if it has lost its master, the charm accumulated over the years still allows it to imitate its master."
"Its master is that swordmaster?" Lu Yin did not hide his knowledge.
The Ocean of Death asked, "How do you know?"
Lu Yin said, "The toad told me. Speaking of which, the toad was able to become the abyss because I helped it block the sword test stone. Otherwise, it would have been hard to say who would become the abyss' master."
The Ocean of Death did not speak, and it was unknown whether it had known long ago or just now.
Lu Yin knew that some things had to be said. He did not want to hide everything. Although the more he said, the more mistakes he would make, if he did not say anything, it would only lead to suspicion.
Never underestimate these behemoths. They knew much more than he thought.
Lu Yin did not avoid it.
Instead, he was magnanimous about his understanding of the sword test stone.
Thousand Trickeries had once said that if he forgot his identity as a human, this identity would bring him disaster.
Lu Yin engraved these words into his mind.
The more he did not avoid this identity, the more it meant that he had forgotten it.
He did not know if it was because of Lu Yin's words, or if something had happened in the outside world.
After a few years, the Ocean of Death left.
Lu Yin was certain that it had left. Although the skeleton clone was not as strong as the Death Sea's netherworld pressure, they were both in the abyss of the Death Sea, and Lu Yin could feel the pressure from the Death Sea staring at him. Now, that feeling was gone.
More importantly, the Ocean of Death was brighter.
A few years ago, he had looked at the sword test stone for a period of time and walked in the abyss for a period of time. Now that the Ocean of Death had left, he returned to the sword test stone.
The sword test stone did not sharpen the sword all the time. Instead, it sharpened the sword every once in a while.
Because of this, it could still maintain its current form after countless years. Otherwise, it would have been worn away long ago.
Lu Yin looked at the sword test stone. He raised his hand and wiped away the almost invisible dust produced by sharpening the sword.
This action caused the sword test stone to stare at him.
It was just a stone. Its eyeball was also a stone.
But at this moment, Lu Yin could clearly feel that the sword test stone was staring at him.
No matter how many times they had met, including when the sword test stone had protected him, he had never felt such a strong feeling. It was more like the sword test stone's instinct to protect a human instead of Lu Yin.
But now, Lu Yin could feel the sword test stone's gaze.
It had seen him.
Lu Yin looked at the dust on his finger. Was this action the stone test stone had seen him?
Was there something special about this action?
The whetstone moved, taking a step closer to Lu Yin. Then, Lu Yin was startled.
When Lu Yin was taken aback, its body tilted slightly and fell towards him.
Lu Yin did not avoid it and allowed the sword test stone to fall on him. It was like a person falling into his arms.
