Ming Zhaotian raised his head and stared at the five sealing planets. They were trembling and even cracking, just like when Wen Sansi had attacked them.
In the distance, Ming Zhaoshu also stared at the five sealing planets, but there was no trace of worry in his eyes. Ever since he had obtained Ming Taizhong's inheritance, he knew that ordinary people could not break through the five sealing planets, not even powerhouses with power levels above 200,000.
However, Tang Si had already been taken out of Shenwu Continent, so why were the outsiders still attacking the five sealing planets?
Had something happened?
No matter what, Ming Zhaotian could not allow Ming Zhaotian to obstruct the outsiders from attacking the five sealing planets. This was just a show for the outsiders to see. Ming Zhaotian wanted to gain more bargaining chips and show more value.
At this point, he had already forgotten about Lu Yin. To him, Lu Yin was just an investment. Perhaps this investment would pay off in the future, but not now.
Lu Yin did not know that Nightqueen Qiuyu was attacking the five sealing planets, but he had guessed that the Daynight clan was tyrannical and always took the initiative. Once Tang Si spread the news that the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, the Daynight clan would no longer have the initiative in their cooperation with Ming Zhaoshu. She would have to break through the five sealing planets.
However, she could not break through, even with the help of another Enlighter. The number of rune lines represented by the five sealing planets was terrifying, and it seemed to change.
For an entire day, Nightqueen Qiuyu attacked the five sealing planets, but she still could not break through. Even if there was no one on the five sealing planets to obstruct her, she still could not break through.
"How can this be?
A continent from an alternate space in the Outerverse can actually block my attacks! "Nightqueen Qiuyu could not believe it.
In the space station, Tyrial found it even harder to accept. They had originally thought that they could break through the five sealing planets' defenses, but this discovery made him realize how laughable their guesses had been. Nightqueen Qiuyu was not an ordinary Enlighter. She was a genius of the Nightking clan, and she was much stronger than the Outerverse's Enlighters. If even someone like her had failed, then there was no point in them surrounding Shenwu Continent.
In the end, Nightqueen Qiuyu gave up. Since she could not break through the five sealing planets, she could only wait until Ming Zhaoshu learned that the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated. Then, they could begin a new round of negotiations.
This made Nightqueen Qiuyu very irritated. Although Ming Zhaoshu was only a Cruiser, he was too scheming, patient, and his ability to scheme. Negotiating with such a person was very tiring.
It was all because of that bastard. If it wasn't for him, they would still be the ones taking the initiative.
When she thought about Lu Yin and Wendy Yushan's alliance, Nightqueen Qiuyu felt a headache coming on. The two of them were already on the same level as an Enlighter.
Darkmist Weave bordered Frostwave Weave, and it didn't take long for the two of them to return to Frostwave Weave.
As soon as they returned to Frostwave Weave, the two of them were discovered by the Great Yu Empire's army, and a report was sent to Zenyu Star.
The cabinet was overjoyed, and there was a huge pile of memorials waiting for Lu Yin.
"Are you saying that Puyu is worried that the Outerverse Youth Council will be banned?" Lu Yin asked.
On the other end of the call, Wendy Yushan's tone was cold. "That's why he's holding this meeting. The Ten Arbiters Council has been isolated from the Innerverse, and San Dios no longer has anyone to rely on. Just the Darkstar Gorge behind Puyu isn't enough to maintain its former authority. Only the Ten Arbiters can transfer power to the younger generation.
No one else can. "Lu Yin was helpless." There's nothing that can be done about it. Right now, the Outerverse's situation depends on the Enlighters. The various weaves have hidden old undying Enlighters, but even so, they can't stop the almighty Enlighters who have been isolated from the Outerverse. The Outerverse's situation is changing, and it's already quite good that San Dios is still around. Puyu is overthinking things. "
"What about you?
You're also a member of San Dios, "Wendy Yushan asked. She did not wish for San Dios to disappear, or else she would not have attended the meeting. She wanted to preserve the Outerverse Youth Council for the Ten Arbiters Council and White Knight.
Lu Yin replied, "There's nothing I can do about it. This is the general trend, and no one can stop it."
Not long after, the two ended the call.
"Seventh Bro, I saw you smile. It was a very sinister smile," the monkey said.
Lu Yin had indeed smiled, as San Dios could not disappear. There were still a few Enlighters left in the Outerverse who were related to the Ten Arbiters, such as Nightqueen Qiuyu, Wen Qichen, and Viletree. These people would never allow the Outerverse Youth Council to disappear, as the Ten Arbiters Council's existence was beneficial to the organizations behind them.
Even if San Dios lost its authority, it would still exist, and the Prairie Flame Continent would not be affected.
As long as the Outerverse Youth Council existed, it would be fine, and there would be many possibilities for the future.
Lu Yin did not need the Ten Arbiters Council's name to protect himself, so he did not care if San Dios lost its authority. What he cared about was the future. Once the Innerverse and Outerverse were restored, what could he do to San Dios?
What could he do with San Dios's connection to the Ten Arbiters Council?
He didn't know this himself, but it was a possibility.
It was a possibility that he, or someone he had arranged, could become one of the Ten Arbiters. It sounded ridiculous, but as long as there was a chance, it would be fine.
Suddenly, Lu Yin's expression changed, and it lasted for a while before he recovered.
"Seventh Bro, what's wrong?" the monkey asked curiously.
Lu Yin answered in a low voice, "I feel like I'm about to break through to the Explorer realm."
"Then what are you waiting for? Break through!" the monkey shrieked. "Seventh Bro, with your current strength, once you break through to the Explorer realm, things will get interesting. You'll probably be able to rival the top thirty of the Top 100 Rankings. Even if you face a Hunter, you'll still have the ability to protect yourself. You won't have to wear that tortoise shell in front of everyone."
Lu Yin wanted to break through as well, but he could not. The difficulty of breaking through to the Melder realm was still fresh in his mind. There were several checkpoints in cultivation: the Seeker realm, the Melder realm, and the Explorer realm. The Seeker realm required one to start from nothing, and the difficulty lay in the formcast model and battle techniques. Without these, there was no need to cultivate. The Melder realm was a transitional process that required one to step through the door of cultivation to truly begin cultivating. As for the Explorer realm, it was a qualitative change that required one's body to adapt to the universe.
None of these three checkpoints were simple. Although Lu Yin could attempt to break through to the Explorer realm with his formcast model, he did not have the protection of an extremely strong powerhouse, which made him feel uneasy. It was as if he would fail as soon as he broke through.
This feeling had appeared the first time he had felt like he was about to break through, and it had not subsided. Instead, it had become increasingly clear, as if there was a mysterious force preventing him from breaking through.
Finally, the feeling of breaking through was suppressed, and Lu Yin sighed in relief.
"Seventh Bro, why aren't you breaking through?
Do you still want to be invincible on the path of the Limiteer realm?
You're too pretentious, "the monkey taunted.
Lu Yin muttered to himself. He had suppressed it this time, but it would not be so easy the next time. He had already suppressed it twice, and there was bound to be a moment when he had to break through.
In the entire Outerverse, the only powerhouses who could help him break through were the Enlighters, but who could be trusted?
Lu Yin could not think of anyone. Granny Chan?
She was not trustworthy, and neither were the others.
Why wait for him to break through before the world changed? Lu Yin looked into the distance with a helpless expression.
During the month that Lu Yin had returned to the Great Yu Empire, he had continuously browsed through the resumes of talents. There were people from all over the world who wanted to join the four ministries, and there were indeed some outstanding talents among them. Lu Yin had placed them in Grandtop Weave's Lu Pavilion of War and Lu Pavilion of War. As for the Lu Ministry of War and the Ministry of War, not just anyone could sit in them.
If the Great Yu Empire had stabilized and did not need to expand, then he could have used an examination to fairly recruit talents into the four ministries. However, he could not do so now, as the positions of the four ministries not only required talent, but also background.
For example, someone called Rang Bin had limited talent, but he was the heir to one of the strongest clans in Grandtop Weave. If such a person was recruited into the four ministries, then that meant that the entire weave would submit to the Great Yu Empire, and there would be no need for military suppression, which saved him a lot of trouble.
This was reality, and while it was disadvantageous to the cultivators of the poor, it was beneficial to the Great Yu Empire.
However, Lu Yin also secretly promised that there would be a day in the future when he would give everyone a fair chance at the examination.
During this month, Hai Qiqi returned with a downcast expression. She had not been able to find her way into the Innerverse, and Lu Yin had comforted her.
He could see that Hai Qiqi's expression was better than when the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, but she still did not look as cheerful. Lu Yin had no other choice, and he had even offered to take Hai Qiqi out to play, but she had rejected him.
This girl had matured quite a bit.
Bard Weave was located to the west of Darkmist Weave, and it was separated from Frostwave Weave by Darkmist Weave and Woori Weave. It was one of the weaves that was connected to the Astral River.
There was a family in Bard Weave called the Lanxin family that controlled ten filaments. Their power was second only to Evenground Palace, which was the sect that controlled Bard Weave.
At this moment, the main planet of the Lanxin family was covered in rivers of blood, and even sunlight could not penetrate the blood-colored air. An old man knelt on the ground and stared in despair and fear at the dried-up corpse that was slowly walking towards him. "Why? Why are you massacring us? Did our Lanxin family offend you?"
The dried-up corpse had walked out from the planet where the Neohuman Alliance's stronghold was located, and it still had Progenitor Wushang's hide on its head. It looked rather ridiculous, but on this blood-colored planet, it was terrifying.
The earth was bleeding, and over a hundred million members of the Lanxin family had been slaughtered. Not a single one had been able to escape.
The old man was the strongest person in the Lanxin family, and he was a peak Hunter. However, he had not been able to retaliate against the dried-up corpse.
The corpse raised a hand and pressed it against the old man's head.
The old man continued to mumble, "Why? Why do you want to kill us? What did we do wrong? What did we do wrong?"
"Ancient bloodline detected. Target confirmed. Kill." With a bang, the old man's head exploded, and his headless corpse collapsed into a pool of blood.
Not long after, the planet was destroyed and turned into cosmic dust.
No matter what life forms had been on the planet, they all disappeared in an instant.
The dried-up corpse still had Progenitor Wushang's hide on its head, and its black hole-like eyes scanned the surroundings before slowly leaving.
Ten days later, an expert from Evenground Palace arrived and stared at the distant black hole in shock. "The entire Lanxin family has disappeared?"
"Yes."
"What about the family members who left?"
"They're all scared out of their wits and don't dare to return. Some of them have already been brought into the palace."
The expert from Evenground Palace nodded and sighed. "The Lanxin family used to be a family with a primeval surname, but ever since they changed their surname to Lanxin, the family prospered. Who would have thought that they would be wiped out?
It should be an Enlighter. The Outerverse is too chaotic these days. "
