White Knight's confidence in Lu Yin stemmed from the fact that Lu Yin had withstood the pressure from the palace phantom and the blood lotus. In reality, Lu Yin could indeed reach that piece of land. Even though he was very close to the land and his spiritual force was about to collapse, he had still managed to reach that piece of land by reciting the Stonewall Scriptures.
The land was vast and empty, with an area roughly equivalent to ten San Dios.
He panted heavily, and his hands and feet felt numb. Looking down from the ground, he saw a boundless mountain range and a boundless ocean in the distance.
This space was very similar to the space with the golden sea. They both had mountains and seas. The only difference was the color of the sea.
White Knight's eyes flashed when she saw Lu Yin step onto the ground. She leapt up in a much more relaxed manner than Lu Yin and quickly reached the surface.
"You're more useful than I thought," White Knight said calmly.
"Actually, it's fine if you don't say anything," Lu Yin grumbled.
White Knight looked at the ground seriously and narrowed her eyes.
Lu Yin looked over, and his expression changed. "Someone's been here."
There were three different sets of footprints on the ground. His, White Knight's, and someone else's.
"This space is easy to find. There's nothing to be surprised about," White Knight said calmly.
Lu Yin frowned. Wasn't he surprised?
Ever since he had obtained the Stonewall Scriptures, he had frequently recited them, and his spiritual force had long since surpassed his peers by leaps and bounds. He had even surpassed the average Hunter. There were many people in the younger generation who surpassed him in terms of strength, such as the top ten of the Top Hundred Rankings or the Sixth Mainland's experts who were second only to the Realmlings. However, when it came to spiritual force resistance, Lu Yin dared to compete with even the Ten Arbiters.
Even so, he still had to memorize the Stonewall Scriptures in order to reach this continent. If anyone else wanted to reach this continent, they would definitely be at the level of the Ten Arbiters or Realmlings.
With the appearance of such an expert, it would be a lie to say that he was not worried.
Lu Yin released his domain and gradually enveloped the entire continent, but aside from himself and White Knight, there was no one else present.
"There's no need to look for him. He's gone," White Knight said.
"Aren't you worried about running into a Realmling?"
"If you run into them, just kill them."
Lu Yin was speechless. "You sure are confident."
"How many more days until you arrive?" White Knight asked.
Lu Yin shook his head. "I don't know. This is my first time here."
White Knight looked at him. "I don't believe you."
"Then I can't do anything about it," Lu Yin casually replied.
White Knight turned around. "You've been here for at least twenty-five days. How long have you been here?"
"About twenty days," Lu Yin replied.
"There are still a few days left, so it's best if you stay here and don't go out. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you if you die. Also …" She paused and stared at him. "Do you want to obtain a Progenitor's inheritance?"
"No." Lu Yin's reply was so straightforward that White Knight thought she had misheard him. "What did you say?
You don't? "
"Yes, I don't. Not at all." Lu Yin was very certain.
White Knight was silent. The words she wanted to say were all disrupted. She did not know what to say for a moment.
Lu Yin snickered inwardly. This brat wanted to use a Progenitor's inheritance to tempt him, but it was likely that she would not be able to obtain the Progenitor's inheritance on her own. This also proved that it was very dangerous, and he did not want to become a scapegoat for this brat to obtain the inheritance.
White Knight was a little annoyed, and she glared at Lu Yin. Who wouldn't want to obtain a Progenitor's inheritance? This was illogical!
The ultimate goal of a cultivator was the Ancestor Realm. Now that the Ancestor Realm inheritance was right in front of his eyes, this fellow was actually not moved?
That shouldn't be the case.
"Only Progenitors in the Daosource Sect can split mountains and open seas. There really is a Progenitor's inheritance here," White Knight said indifferently.
Lu Yin casually strolled around the continent and leisurely replied, "It has nothing to do with me. In any case, I don't want any Progenitor's inheritance. I'm cultivating, and I don't want to walk the path of others."
White Knight frowned, as these words were very imposing, but what did they have to do with a Progenitor's inheritance? "A Progenitor's inheritance includes battle techniques, secret techniques, and power vessels."
"I don't want it," Lu Yin replied.
White Knight fell silent once more, as she did not know what to say. She simply stopped talking and leaped towards another continent. "It's best if you don't go out and seek death."
"Seventh Bro, that woman was so angry that she left. You don't play by the rules. Who in the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands can resist the temptation of a Progenitor's inheritance? Many people still charge in even if they know that there is no chance of survival. Your reply was so straightforward that I'm guessing that she's already doubting her own life, haha!" The monkey cackled.
Lu Yin smiled. "I have a clear understanding of myself. Let alone a Progenitor's inheritance, even an Emissary's inheritance would be too risky for the current me. I'll take it slow, and there's no need to seek death."
"That's right, that's what I admire about you." The monkey was delighted, as he felt that Lu Yin had become enlightened and would no longer seek death.
Lu Yin could give up on a Progenitor's inheritance because it was too far away, but he could not give up on the Nine Cauldrons' battle techniques. He could clearly comprehend them, and this made his heart itch. He would wait for a while longer, and when the battles were no longer as intense as they were now, he would go out.
Over the next few days, Lu Yin remained on the continent. He was very curious about that mountain, but he did not go there. Even White Knight, one of the Ten Arbiters, had teamed up with him, and he did not want to die alone.
Three days later, the scenery changed, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw a secret room in King Zishan's palace.
He was finally back, and he felt much more at ease after returning to King Zishan's palace. He did not plan on going to the Daosource Sect's ruins for the next two months, as the battles would probably slow down during that time. That would be the time for him to go to the Nine Cauldrons' space to comprehend the battle techniques, so he could not rush it.
After returning, Lu Yin immediately went to the princess' residence to look for Wendy Yushan, as he was afraid that something had happened to her in the Daosource Sect's ruins.
Fortunately, Wendy Yushan had returned a long time ago.
"I stayed in the Daosource Sect for nine days," Wendy Yushan said.
Lu Yin was stunned. "Only nine days?"
Wendy Yushan nodded and then asked curiously, "How long did you stay?"
"Twenty-three days," Lu Yin replied.
Wendy Yushan fell into deep thought, as this gap was quite large.
Lu Yin found it inconceivable, as even the fatty had been able to stay for about fifteen days. Furthermore, they had said that a normal person could stay for about fifteen days, so why had Wendy Yushan only been able to stay for nine days?
The length of one's stay depended on the connection between their spiritual force and their futon. Could it be that the fatty's spiritual force surpassed Wendy Yushan's?
With Wendy Yushan's current strength, even without the Yu Secret Art, she could easily enter the top twenty-five of the Top 100 Rankings, which far surpassed the fatty's. However, was her spiritual force lower than the average level of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators?
Perhaps it had something to do with the Sixth Mainland's cultivation methods, as Lu Yin remembered that they did not care much about domains or battle force. Instead, they focused on imprints and bloodlines, which was the fundamental difference between the Fifth Mainland and the Sixth Mainland's cultivation methods.
"How was it in the Daosource Sect?
Did you encounter any danger? "Lu Yin asked.
Wendy Yushan solemnly replied, "I met someone, a Realmling."
"A Realmling?" Lu Yin was stunned. "Are you alright?"
Wendy Yushan shook her head. "That person claimed to be a Realmling from the War Martial Realm. He came from an aristocratic family of blacksmiths, and he was a Toolwielder. He was very powerful, and I couldn't even hold my sword properly against him."
"And then?" Lu Yin hurriedly asked.
Wendy Yushan saw the concern in Lu Yin's eyes, and her heart warmed. "Don't worry, he didn't do anything to me. He even took me to the Scripture Pavilion, but I left when my time was up."
Lu Yin relaxed. "That's good. Remember, don't go to the Daosource Sect during this time. That place has already become a battlefield."
Wendy Yushan nodded. "I heard about it while I was in the Scripture Pavilion. The Ten Arbiters and the Realmlings have appeared, so I can't go to the Daosource Sect. You can't go there either."
Lu Yin smiled. "I know."
"Right, did something happen to you?" Wendy Yushan asked curiously.
Lu Yin did not tell her about his encounter with White Knight, as he was afraid that Wendy Yushan would want to enter the Daosource Sect to look for White Knight. He only briefly explained the situation in Heaven's Pit and the Nine Cauldrons' space.
"The length of time one can stay in the Daosource Sect should be related to one's spiritual force. Do you have any methods to strengthen it?" Lu Yin asked.
Wendy Yushan shook her head. "There are very few descriptions of spiritual force in the universe, and it seems to have been intentionally hidden. The Daynight clan is the best at this."
Lu Yin asked, "Then forget about it. Do you have enough resources?"
Wendy Yushan nodded. "Yes."
Not long after, Lu Yin left the princess's residence. He had a method to strengthen spiritual force, and that was the Stonewall Scriptures. However, he could not even memorize the entire scriptures, let alone teach them to Wendy Yushan. It seemed that he would have to have a chat with the Daynight clan. There were many inheritances and opportunities within the Daosource Sect, and he hoped that Wendy Yushan could obtain them as well.
After being together for so long, Wendy Yushan had treated him as her only family member, and she had even handed the Great Yu Empire to him. How could he not treat her as family?
When he returned to King Zishan's palace, En Ya was already waiting for him. "Greetings, Your Highness."
"How are things going on the Shenwu Continent?" Lu Yin asked with an expectant gaze.
En Ya took out a letter and handed it to Lu Yin. "This is a letter from the Shenwu Emperor, Ming Zhaoshu, to Your Highness."
Lu Yin frowned, opened the letter, and read it. His expression changed; Ming Zhaoshu had been poisoned?
And he did not have long to live?
In the letter, Ming Zhaoshu requested that Lu Yin help him find a cure. Ming Yan could not leave the Shenwu Continent before she fully recovered, as this was to prevent the Shenwu Empire from being left without a successor.
He had not expected such an accident to occur.
"Did our envoy in the Shenwu Empire see Ming Zhaoshu?" Lu Yin asked.
En Ya replied, "Yes, but only once."
Lu Yin muttered to himself. Ming Zhaoshu had to be cured, or else Ming Yan would become the Shenwu Empire's Shenwu Empress, which would be troublesome. He could not allow the Shenwu Empress to work in the Great Yu Empire, which would make it difficult for them to meet in the future.
According to Ming Zhaoshu's letter, there were no symptoms of the poison, and it only caused his life force to rapidly drain away. Lu Yin had En Ya leave and summoned the Great Yu Empire's imperial physician..
"Life force drain?
Your Highness, there are countless poisons in the universe, but I have never seen a poison that can so tyrannically drain one's life force without warning, and I have no way to treat it, "the imperial physician respectfully reported.
Lu Yin waved a hand to dismiss the physician, and he immediately contacted the bespectacled Mistchild.
"A poison that can directly drain one's life force?
Where can I find it? "The bespectacled Mistchild's eyes lit up.
Lu Yin asked, "Let me ask you, is there any way to cure this poison?"
