The Timestop Space was boring, and Lu Yin could not stand it, so he would rather use his star energy to change the environment.
During the first month, he quietly tried to sense the circulation route of the Yu Secret Art. He had tried it once before, and he would never forget it for the rest of his life. However, there was no result, and he did not feel anything at all.
During the second month, Lu Yin still did not feel anything.
He was starting to get frustrated.
Coincidentally, the monkey woke up at this time. "Seventh Bro, where are we?"
"Don't ask. Now that I'm an Explorer, how can I learn the Yu Secret Art?" Lu Yin asked.
The monkey was speechless. "Seventh Bro, how would I know? I've never learned a secret technique before. It's all about innate talent and luck. How long have you been practicing it?"
"I just started. You really don't know?" Lu Yin asked.
The monkey replied, "I really don't know. That's strange. Where is this place?
I've seen it before, but you never told me. "
Lu Yin decisively blocked the monkey, as he did not want this guy to know his secret. But how could he learn the Yu Secret Art?
Just in case, Lu Yin added another fifty days.
Every ten days that the Time Stop Space would consume twice as much star energy as before. An additional four months would require 730,000 star crystals, which was equivalent to 7.3 star essence. Now that another fifty days had been added to the space, Lu Yin's star essence consumption had reached 233 star essence, which was an increase of several times.
Any more, and Lu Yin would not be able to bear it. He needed to comprehend the secret art as soon as possible.
There were still 110 days left, but he still had no clue. Helpless, he began to recite the Stonewall Scriptures.
Whenever he encountered a problem that he could not solve, he would first recite the Stonewall Scriptures. For example, when he had fused with the Fatesand, he had only been able to speed up his progress by reciting the Stonewall Scriptures.
He did not know what the Stonewall Scriptures meant, but not long after he finished reciting them, Lu Yin had a faint feeling of the secret technique's circulation route. He opened his eyes in ecstasy, as he had a feeling that it was actually useful.
Without wasting any time, he continued to recite the Stonewall Scriptures. However, it was impossible for him to memorize everything in one go. Even though he had become an Explorer and his spiritual force had greatly increased, he could only recite a portion of the scriptures. He had to rest for a while, or else he would faint.
As he recited the Stonewall Scriptures, his sense of the secret technique grew clearer and clearer. Another month passed, and he opened his eyes. He raised a hand and casually waved his hand, causing a shockwave to shake the void. It then mysteriously disappeared, having been transferred to another direction.
Lu Yin was overjoyed. He had tried several times over the past month, but this was the first time he had succeeded.
At that moment, he felt as if everything in front of him had changed, and he tried again. This time, his eyes filled with star energy, and sure enough, the moment he activated the secret technique, the scene in front of him changed. There was no space or time, and as long as he attacked, he could instantly attack from any direction. This was the secret technique that could turn something rotten into something mystical, allowing him to see through the essence of the universe.
Was this the nature of the universe?
He suddenly recalled the time when Mister Mu had tossed him from Tempest Flowzone to Zhengyang Flowzone, which meant that he had crossed half of the Innerverse. Had he also seen through the essence of the universe?
Impossible. Only Progenitor realm powerhouses could create secret techniques, and only Progenitor realm powerhouses could see through the essence of the universe. Currently, there shouldn't be any Progenitor realm powerhouses in this universe. Even if there were, they would be in the Neoverse. Mister Mu couldn't possibly be a Progenitor realm powerhouse.
If he was not an Ancestor Realm powerhouse, how did he do it?
Could it be a secret technique as well?
Yu Secret Art: Void Transfer. Lu Yin could now redirect his attacks to any location within a certain range and attack any target. This was the Yu Secret Art, and as his understanding of the Yu Secret Art deepened, the range of his attacks would definitely increase. Furthermore, the redirection might not necessarily be an attack, but rather an item or a living being.
If that was the case, then it was not impossible for Mister Mu to know a secret technique.
Lu Yin waved his hand again, but nothing happened.
Lu Yin felt that it was a pity, but he decided to continue comprehending it since he wasn't familiar with it yet.
Another month quickly passed, and now, four months had passed. Over the past month, Lu Yin had tried more than ten times and succeeded a few times. His success rate was close to 50%, which was not bad, but it was still far from Wendy Yushan's.
Lu Yin's innate gift was definitely not weak, and he had also modified his eyes. Even if Wendy Yushan could use the Yu Secret Art, she definitely wouldn't be able to see the essence of the universe that Lu Yin could. In that case, the reason why she had surpassed him was probably because of her bloodline. She was a descendant of the Yu family, and the Yu Secret Art had been passed down to the Yu family since ancient times. It was an inheritance that flowed in their blood.
If not for the Stonewall Scriptures, then even if Lu Yin could use the route of the secret technique, he would still be far from being able to comprehend the secret technique. It was no wonder why the monkey had said that the secret technique was very difficult to cultivate.
Fortunately, Lu Yin's luck was not bad, and he had succeeded in cultivating it.
What he needed to do next was increase his success rate, as he could not leave his life to luck.
As he thought about it, Lu Yin forcefully endured the boredom of the dull space and continued to increase his speed for another fifty days, spending a total of 7,400 star essence.
There were still a hundred days left, and these hundred days would be his final struggle.
Amidst the ruins of Seasons Fort, Lu Yin's vision blurred as a second passed. He had been in the Time Stop Space for a full 220 days, which was more than half a year.
More than half a year had passed, and Seasons Fort actually felt a little unfamiliar to Lu Yin.
A shadow loomed over the sky as a giant astral beast crashed down. Lu Yin looked up and tapped his foot lightly. There was a thump as a shockwave shook the void, and his figure disappeared before reappearing in midair. He kicked out, and the giant astral beast was sent flying into outer space like a pebble.
Lu Yin landed beside Wang Wen's coffin. "It's done."
Wang Wen turned around and stared at Lu Yin in a daze. "What's done?"
"Nothing." He had almost forgotten that only a second had passed for Wang Wen, which meant that he had only just turned around.
Wang Wen looked at Lu Yin strangely. "Chesspiece Bro, have you gone crazy?"
Lu Yin looked up at the boundless rune lines that covered the entire area. There were still eight attacks left on his spear. "I'll go hunt. Think about how much contribution points I'll get." He then leaped up and charged into outer space. The Enneadic Wings appeared on his back, and with a flap, his speed increased once more. He quickly disappeared from Wang Wen's sight.
Wang Wen blinked. "He's really gone crazy."
In outer space, Topmist was fleeing for his life, as he could not win. He had never been good at direct confrontations, let alone two Enlighter realm astral beasts.
"Human, surrender! The Celestial Beast Empire welcomes powerful humans and beasts!" one of the Enlighter realm astral beasts roared from behind.
Topmist cursed under his breath. You're the human beast! However, he was also tempted. If he really could not escape, then surrendering was not a big deal, as he was willing to live.
Wait a minute, what's coming?
Topmist stared ahead and saw a figure streaking through space towards him. From the looks of it, the figure was coming straight for him. Could it be an Enlighter realm astral beast in human form? That was too despicable. Topmist did not even think about it as he raised his hand and sent out a palm strike.
Lu Yin was startled, and he was about to shout out for Topmist to cooperate. However, Topmist simply raised his hand and sent out a palm strike. Had this guy betrayed them?!
Lu Yin was not sure, but based on his understanding of Topmist's character, it was not impossible. Lu Yin changed his mind and used the Astral Ruler to avoid Topmist's attack. He then stopped in outer space and stared at Topmist with vigilance as he pulled out his spear.
Topmist's palm strike missed, and he felt that the person in front of him was moving in a familiar manner. Was that Lu Yin?
It really was Lu Yin.
"Kid, you're not dead?" Topmist was puzzled.
Lu Yin stared at Topmist. "You betrayed humanity?"
Topmist was furious. "Kid, don't frame me! Viletree and Wen Qichen are both dead, and leaving me alone in the Primal Zone will only increase our casualties. Do you want me to accompany you in death?"
"I'm not talking about that. Why did you attack me just now?" Lu Yin raised his spear and pointed it at Topmist.
Topmist's heart skipped a beat, as he had not forgotten the power of that spear. "Don't act recklessly. How would I know that someone would dare to approach this battlefield? Liu Qiuyu is dead, and there are no longer any Enlighters in the stronghold."
Lu Yin reluctantly accepted Topmist's explanation. Bang! A gunshot rang out, and Topmist's pupils shrank as he subconsciously dodged. Lu Yin raised a hand and casually waved it. "Yu Secret Art, Void Transfer." Topmist watched in shock as the bullet disappeared. When it reappeared, it had already pierced through the head of an Enlighter realm astral beast.
Outer space fell silent, and the other Enlighter realm astral beast that had been chasing after Topmist stared in shock. The Enlighter realm astral beast whose head had been pierced fell to the ground, completely lifeless.
Topmist was shocked. "Secret … secret technique! That's a secret technique! You know it too?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up, and he pointed his spear at another Enlighter realm astral beast. "You can die as well."
The Enlighter realm astral beast tore through space and escaped without a second thought.
Lu Yin lowered his spear and relaxed. It was indeed possible to hit an Enlighter with a secret technique, but if the Enlighter was prepared and tore through the void to escape, then there was nothing Lu Yin could do. No, there was a way. Lu Yin's gaze trembled. He had forgotten that he could see the essence of the universe.
Even if an Enlighter escaped into the void, they would still be in the universe. As long as they were in the universe, they could be seen the moment Lu Yin activated his secret technique. However, whether or not he could hit them was another matter. Seeing the essence of the universe did not mean that he understood it, and Lu Yin did not understand the principles behind the secret technique.
It was just like how he could use a spear, but he did not know how to make one.
Killing an Enlighter realm astral beast with a single shot shocked Topmist greatly. The black fog churned around him, revealing his state of mind. "Kid, how do you know a secret technique?"
Lu Yin glanced at Topmist. "Why? Do I need to report to you?"
Topmist stared at Lu Yin. "You broke through to the Explorer realm?
And you've changed so much. "
Lu Yin did not waste any time. "Let's cooperate. You find an Enlighter realm astral beast, and I'll kill it. We'll split the credit evenly."
Topmist fell silent.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "Don't even think about escaping. If you have the chance, and if this battle is lost because of your escape, you won't be able to endure the Hall of Honor's punishment. Don't forget that Elder Lohar is still here."
Topmist snorted. "I'm not thinking about escaping. I'm just thinking of a way to delay those Enlighter realm astral beasts so that you can hit them."
"Let's begin." Lu Yin charged into the distance towards the boundless rune lines. Just as he had said, he wanted to hunt.
He had the universal armor for defense, the spear and secret technique for offense, and the Astral Ruler and collapsible spacecraft for escape. He also had Progenitor Wushang's hide and the Void Thunderbeast's flesh. As long as an old monster with a power level of 300,000 did not appear, he would be invincible.
