After walking for a long time, the sky had already darkened. Lu Yin sat on a tree and looked up at the sky. He had not expected the night sky to be so beautiful here.
"Bro, how many days can your futon last you here?" the fatty suddenly asked. He then became annoyed. "I forgot. You're deaf and mute."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. Futon?
It should be that praying mat. How many days can it last me?
That meant that there was a time limit, and everyone's time was different. Lu Yin thought about it and decided to take out his futon to see what the fatty would say.
But the next moment, his expression changed. He couldn't open his cosmic ring.
What the hell?
Why can't I open my cosmic ring?
Lu Yin tried a few times, but it was the same. He suddenly recalled a detail. The fatty was weaker than him, but he was still considered an elite genius. It was impossible for him to not have medicine, but his fist was still swollen. Could it be that he couldn't open his cosmic ring?
Lu Yin lay down and recalled the fatty's words from the day before. First, this place was called the Daosource Sect, and this was a place where the Daosource Sect tested their disciples. It was called the First Divine Gate. The fatty's cultivation method was very strange, and he seemed to have been blessed by something. The fatty's cultivation method seemed to be a symbol, or rather, a synonym for a powerhouse. The fatty had said that he was an Explorer, which proved that this place was connected to the universe.
If this place was connected to the universe, then it had a different cultivation system. Could it be that he had come to a distant weave in the Outerverse?
No, this cultivation system was very powerful, and the fatty's power level had increased by so much. It couldn't be the Outerverse, so could it be a Flowzone in the Innerverse?
Lu Yin guessed.
"Bro, why do you think Xiaojing won't accept me?
Is it because I'm not handsome enough?
Actually, I was very handsome when I was young. Back when I was ten … "
Lu Yin looked at the fatty with admiration. This guy had such a narcissistic and miserable childhood. No, it was a miserable life, but he was still alive and was quite optimistic. This kind of person would be a waste of his fat if he died.
"Let me tell you a secret that even Xiaojing doesn't know about. I told everyone that I fused with a black ox bloodline, and that's what the Huang family publicized as well. Actually, the bloodline that I fused with is the Pompom Pig." The fatty's expression turned ugly. "Back when I fused with a bloodline, I …"
Lu Yin did not know much about bloodlines, but the Astral Combat Academy had a method to increase one's strength. The Dao of Seed in the trial zones contained some bloodlines, and Liu Yin had used it during the Astral Combat Tournament, so it should be similar. He stared at the fatty in shock. Pompom pig?
Pig's bloodline?
'This is really … weird. So what Fatty said about his miserable life is true?'
When he thought of this, Lu Yin subconsciously wanted to distance himself from the fatty. He wouldn't bring bad luck to himself, would he?
"Actually, the Pompom Pig doesn't sound good, but its potential is not bad. Rumor has it that there's an astral beast called the Sky-Eater Pig that's extremely powerful. If you can obtain the Sky-Eater Pig's bloodline, you can evolve the Pompom Pig's bloodline and become one of the unparalleled bloodlines. This is my ambition. I believe that life is not only about the misery in front of you, but also about the future.
You have dreams … "The fatty could not stop talking once he started, and he started imagining all sorts of life's maxims. Lu Yin wanted to vomit, but he jumped down from the tree and walked up the path.
"Hey, Bro, why are you leaving?
Wait for me, wait for me! "The fatty hurriedly followed.
After a day and night of traveling, they finally reached the center of the path that led to the First Divine Gate according to the fatty's instructions. This path was very long, and there were many First Divine Gate Guardians along the way. Lu Yin did not know how the Daosource Sect had managed to recruit disciples. Even with its current strength, only the top fifty of the Top Hundred Rankings could safely pass through this path. This was after the Daosource Sect had been destroyed, and most of the First Divine Gate Guardians had been wiped out. If the Daosource Sect had been at its peak, perhaps only the top thirty of the Top Hundred Rankings would have been able to pass through this path.
Was this region really that powerful?
For a sect to only recruit the top thirty of the Top Hundred Rankings was a little exaggerated. "Bro, bro!
The Budding Terrace is just ahead. As long as we enter it, we'll be able to find all sorts of good things without any danger. Rumor has it that the Budding Terrace not only has battle techniques, bloodlines, natural treasures, power vessels, and even secret techniques, "the fatty said excitedly.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Secret techniques?
No way!
"That can't be, right? There's even a secret technique?
But based on how strict this First Divine Gate's tests are, perhaps there really is a secret technique. In any case, I can't figure out how your Human Domain could have such a powerful sect. Fortunately, it was destroyed. You should know that the tests a new disciple has to go through are directly proportional to the sect's strength. Based on how strict the tests are, this sect must have had a terrifying powerhouse with a power level of over a million when it was at its peak. "
When he heard that there was a secret technique up ahead, Lu Yin sped up.
A few thousand meters in front of the two, a group of young men and women were surrounded by dozens of First Divine Gate Guardians. They could neither leave nor retreat, and they were in the same situation as the fatty.
Fortunately, the path was narrow, and there were layers upon layers of First Divine Gate Guardians surrounding them. Otherwise, if all of them had rushed forward, these youths would have been finished long ago.
"Brother Lian, take over from Brother Qiu. Block the two First Divine Gate Guardians on the right."
"Sister Kui, retreat immediately. Don't use your imprint. Conserve your strength."
"Xiaozhong, take over Sister Kui's position."
…
A clear voice rang out continuously as she commanded the group. The voice came from a beautiful woman in the crowd. She had a delicate and dignified appearance, and although she was not particularly beautiful, she had a unique temperament. Even when faced with dozens of First Divine Gate Guardians, she remained calm and composed. The group of youths who were being surrounded listened to her commands, and they actually managed to withstand the attacks of the First Divine Gate Guardians. They even gradually calmed down.
Although they had temporarily blocked the First Divine Gate Guardians, they would not be able to hold on for long.
The woman constantly scanned her surroundings as she tried to think of a way to break out of the encirclement. They could either go up or down, but they could not die here.
Suddenly, the woman saw two figures rapidly approaching, and her eyes lit up. She was about to call for help, but when she saw who it was, her heart sank, and she unconsciously frowned.
"Sister Kui, it's Fatty!" someone exclaimed. The others took the time to look down, and they all saw Fatty and Lu Yin.
"What's this damn fatty doing here? Don't mess up our formation. We don't want to be killed by this fatty," someone else spoke up. It was a woman, and it was obvious that she looked down on the fatty.
A few others agreed, but their words were meant for the woman's ears. They were afraid that she would mess up their formation in order to save the fatty.
Lu Yin and the fatty walked all the way to the center of the path. He had already seen the group of youths being surrounded by his domain, but he did not say anything. This group of youths was not weak, and there were also fluctuations of a domain among them. It was obvious that some of them had comprehended a domain.
"Bro, it's Xiaojing! It's Xiaojing!" the fatty shouted excitedly when he saw the group of youths being surrounded. His gaze was fixed on the indifferent woman in the middle.
Lu Yin looked over. Was that the Yan Xiaojing that the fatty had been thinking about day and night?
His eyes were pretty good.
"Bro, Xiaojing is in danger. Let's go help them," the fatty pleaded as he looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin remained calm, and he did not say anything.
The fatty grew anxious, as he had forgotten that Lu Yin was deaf and mute. He continuously pointed at the group of youths and gestured for them to help.
In front of him, the group of youths who were being surrounded grew anxious. "What's that damn fatty doing? He can't be trying to save us, right?"
"Don't do that! Not only is that damn fatty useless, but he'll also mess up our formation!"
"Sister Jing, hurry up and warn that damn fatty to get lost!"
…
Yan Xiaojing was not looking at the fatty, but rather at Lu Yin, who was standing beside him. She understood the fatty very well, and she knew that he would not be able to save them. That hand gesture was clearly meant for someone else to see. Did he not hear it?
But what was up with that domain just now?
Yan Xiaojing's intuition told her that this person was not simple. Under the effects of her domain, this person gave her an indescribable feeling, as if he was unfathomable.
When the fatty saw that Lu Yin still did not respond, he grew anxious and stomped his foot. "Damn!" He then charged towards Yan Xiaojing and the others.
Those who were being surrounded grew anxious. "Damn fatty, don't come over!"
"Damn fatty, get lost! Don't get us in trouble!"
"Do you want to die, fatty?"
…
The fatty completely ignored the group, and his eyes were fixed on Yan Xiaojing. A hazy phantom appeared behind him, and he punched out at one of the First Divine Gate Guardians. Perhaps it was the power of love or something else, but the fatty's punch directly crippled one of the guardians. However, he was also crippled, and his fist was swollen red. His attack immediately attracted the attention of several guardians, and they immediately attacked him.
In the crowd, Yan Xiaojing frowned. There were dozens of First Divine Gate Guardians, and defeating just one was pointless. She could choose not to save the fatty, as this was what the others hoped for, but she could not do so. The fatty had come here to save her. Helpless, Yan Xiaojing attacked. Her fair palm passed through the crowd and landed on one of the guardians that was attacking the fatty. There was a muffled sound, and the guardian seemed to have been hit by a chain attack. It retreated several steps before being pushed back more than ten meters by a shockwave.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. What an exquisite palm technique! She had split one palm into three, and most importantly, she had concealed the power of the second and third palm, which was different from the Shockwave Palm and the Overlaying Stacks Technique. If not for his domain, he might not have been able to detect it. Furthermore, this girl had just avoided the First Divine Gate Guardians, which meant that she had definitely comprehended a domain. She was much stronger than the fatty.
Yan Xiaojing pushed back the First Divine Gate Guardians that were attacking the fatty, and then she grabbed him and pulled him into the crowd.
"Damn fatty, why don't you just die?" a girl cursed.
The others had ugly expressions as well. Yan Xiaojing could not casually attack, as she still had to rely on her to save people at critical moments. Now that she had exhausted her strength and star energy to save the fatty, she might save one less person in the future. No one wanted that person to be them, and they all began to hate the fatty.
The fatty grinned foolishly at Yan Xiaojing.
Yan Xiaojing panted and glanced at the fatty. "What's that person's background?"
The fatty clenched his fist and looked past the First Divine Gate Guardians to see Lu Yin, who was still standing quietly in the distance. "I don't know. I met him along the way, but he was deaf and mute."
"Deaf and mute?"
Yan Xiaojing's eyes flashed, but she did not think too much about it. This path was not limited to only those from the Bloodburn Realm; anyone from the entire Sixth Mainland who had a futon could enter. This person might not be from the Bloodburn Realm, and he might not even be a disciple of the Blood Progenitor.
