"Right, these are all secrets of the Neoverse, and even some powers in the Innerverse might not be aware of them. Where did you hear about the Seven Skygods?" Ku Wei looked at Lu Yin suspiciously.
"A powerhouse's autobiography," Lu Yin answered with a solemn expression. If what Ku Wei said was true, then the person he had just spoken to was one of the Neohuman Alliance's Rulers?
That was impossible. How could he have attracted a Ruler from the Neohuman Alliance?
That was one of the Rulers of the Three Dark Hands, and he had a supreme status. Even Elder Lohar should not have been qualified to meet him, but that power was indeed terrifying beyond imagination.
Could it really be one of the Seven Skygods?
"A powerhouse's autobiography?
Which powerhouse's autobiography could record the Seven Skygods?
If not for my identity, I would never have heard of the Seven Skygods' name. "Ku Wei obviously did not believe Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's expression turned serious. "Do you think that the Seven Skygods will come to the Outerverse?"
"Are you kidding me? Of course not. They wouldn't even go to the Innerverse. They're one of the strongest powerhouses in the universe, and they dare to oppose the entire human race. Why would they come to a remote place like the Outerverse? I'm not afraid to tell you that many people in the Neoverse don't even know about the existence of the Outerverse. In their minds, the Innerverse is the Outerverse."
Lu Yin's mood grew even heavier. Just because they did not come did not mean that they would not come. If it really was one of the Seven Skygods, then there must be something in the Outerverse that attracted him. He had indeed said this before, so should he tell Elder Lohar?
"Where did you learn about the Seven Skygods?" Ku Wei stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin answered, "A powerhouse's autobiography."
"You're a tomb raider?"
"An archaeologist."
"Seventh Bro, don't put my deeds on yourself." The monkey was helpless.
Ku Wei was also helpless. "Alright, we've drunk the wine and asked what you wanted to ask. Let's go to the palace."
"Are you so sure that the palace is related to the Yu bloodline?" Lu Yin asked.
Ku Wei answered, "I'm just checking. After all, Undying Yushan lived there for so many years. Would you believe me if I said that it's unrelated?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he paid for the wine before bringing Ku Wei to the palace. The guards all bowed to Lu Yin, and Ku Wei proudly said, "I told you that you could enter, but you didn't believe me. Look, my brother."
Lu Yin frowned. "Let's go."
Ku Wei chuckled and entered the Imperial Palace.
Ever since Undying Yushan's death, the palace had been without a master for a very long time. Aside from the imperial court meetings and the Alliance Conference, the palace was rarely used. The palace guards and maids were more like the masters of this place.
Ku Wei walked around the Thearch Palace but didn't gain anything. He was quite vexed.
Finally, he flew high into the sky and stood at the center of the palace. He looked around, and his eyes lit up. "So it's like this. No wonder I always felt that this place was familiar."
Ku Wei landed beside Lu Yin. "Let's go. I'll take you to find some good stuff."
Lu Yin found this strange and followed Ku Wei.
Ku Wei came to a corner of the Thearch Palace and exerted force with one of his feet. The ground cracked open and extended into the nearby stream, shattering everything within a hundred meters and revealing a spacious underground chamber.
When the guards heard the commotion, they hurried over, but they were quickly dismissed by Lu Yin. The two of them then entered the underground chamber.
The secret chamber was very spacious, and there was nothing inside.
He had used his domain to envelop the palace, but he hadn't discovered any secret rooms here.
"The materials used to construct this secret room can isolate domains. Just as Brother Wei guessed, this palace isn't simple," Ku Wei said proudly.
"There's nothing here," Lu Yin said, as this place was completely empty. He had seen a secret room isolated from domains in the ruins of the Daosource Sect.
Ku Wei walked around the secret room and finally arrived at the center. He then knocked on the ground, and Lu Yin did not know how he did it, but the ground suddenly trembled, and then a rectangular stone protruded from the ground.
Lu Yin was astonished, and he sized up the stone. Suddenly, the stone emitted a faint light, and rune lines appeared without warning and enveloped the entire area.
Lu Yin and Ku Wei quickly retreated, as this was the danger of a sourcebox.
"Let's go to the next one." Ku Wei excitedly soared into the sky and flew towards another corner of the palace.
Lu Yin's face was solemn, and he followed closely behind Ku Wei. They arrived at another corner that corresponded to the previous one. Similarly, another stone protruded from the ground, and another sourcebox appeared that contained danger.
"See? Brother Wei knew that the Yu bloodline wouldn't die so easily. This palace was built in imitation of the Yu bloodline's ancestral land in the New Universe. It doesn't look like much from any other direction, but if you look at it from the center, you'll notice that the furnishings are exactly the same from every angle. This is an array, a sourcebox array that only the Yu bloodline can comprehend," Ku Wei said proudly.
Lu Yin's gaze turned solemn, and he turned to look at the last two corners that corresponded to the previous two secret rooms. One of the corners was actually the secret room that Undying Yushan had brought him to.
"A sourcebox array formed by four sourceboxes. What will happen if it's activated?" Lu Yin asked.
Ku Wei's lips curled up. "According to the effects of the Yu bloodline's array, once it's activated, the person within the sourcebox array will not be able to leave. They will be stripped of all their strength, including their star energy, physical body, and spiritual force. They will all be under the control of the array's master."
Lu Yin felt a chill run down his spine.
"Of course, that's the effect of the Yu bloodline's array. The sourceboxes here can't compare to the ones in the Yu bloodline's ancestral land, so the array's effects won't be as good. But no matter how bad it is, it should still be able to deal with an Enlighter. Do you still think that Undying Yushan is dead?" Ku Wei mocked.
Lu Yin looked around him as he recalled all the times he had spent with Undying Yushan. He also recalled Wendy Yushan's words. They had never truly understood that person. How could an absolute genius who could enter the top thirty of the Top 100 Rankings fall to the level of a dying emperor? How could the dignified Yu bloodline of the Seven Courts be exterminated?
Lu Yin had never seriously considered any of this.
Could it be that Undying Yushan was still alive?
Had the Yu bloodline also gone into hiding?
Then why had they only left Wendy behind?
Why had they handed the Great Yu Empire over to him?
"Of course, there's also a possibility that Undying Yushan himself doesn't know about any of this. This is all set up by those old freaks from the Yu bloodline. He might really be dead, but that's unlikely," Ku Wei said.
"Why did the Yu bloodline betray the Seven Courts back then?" Lu Yin asked.
Ku Wei shook his head. "I can't tell you that. That's a secret of the Seven Courts. In any case, I've found what I'm looking for. The Yu bloodline definitely still exists, and since it exists, there's a possibility of negotiation." He laughed strangely and then suddenly roared, "Yu family, my Ku family is here! Come out and have a chat!"
This roar startled Lu Yin, as even Zenyu Star could hear it.
Lu Yin hurriedly shut him up. "Aren't you afraid that the Hall of Honor will cause trouble for you?"
Ku Wei shrugged. "What's there to be afraid of? I haven't done anything outrageous. Although the Hall of Honor is an enemy of the Three Dark Hands, they won't fight to the death whenever they see us. I've already said that the Seven Courts are different from the Neohuman Alliance."
"Are you sure that the Yu family is on Zenyu Star?" Lu Yin asked.
Ku Wei replied, "I'm not sure, but how will I know if I don't shout? Do you want me to search the entire universe for them?
That's not realistic. "
"The Yu family shouldn't be on Zenyu Star," Lu Yin confirmed. After such a long time, he still hadn't discovered any particularly powerful rune lines. Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that they were hiding themselves.
Ku Wei snorted. "I don't care if they're there or not. In any case, there's Wendy Yushan on the surface, so I'll keep an eye on her. One day, the Yu family will contact her." He then looked at Lu Yin strangely. "I almost forgot that there's still you. The Yu family established the Great Yu Empire, but they handed it over to you and even taught you a secret technique. There must be a reason for that.
Lu Yin was currently in a bad mood. First, it was the Neohuman Alliance, and now, it was the Yu bloodline. He felt like he was constantly being watched by someone, and everything that he had done felt like it was all for someone else's benefit. This was not something that he wanted to see. Regardless of whether it was the Neohuman Alliance or the Yu family, none of them would be able to take everything away from him.
The only power that he could rely on right now was the Hall of Honor.
After chasing Ku Wei away, Lu Yin sealed the two rooms that had been opened. After thinking about it, he decided to head to the princess' residence. Wendy Yushan must have heard Ku Wei's roar. Others might not understand, but it was impossible for her not to.
Wendy Yushan seemed to be waiting for Lu Yin. "Someone shouted for the Yu family just now. Was he looking for me?"
Lu Yin replied, "Someone from the Seven Courts' Ku family came. He's certain that the Yu family hasn't been exterminated, and he wants to find the Yu bloodline."
Wendy Yushan was shocked. "The Yu family hasn't been exterminated?"
Lu Yin stared into her eyes. He didn't know if she really didn't know or if she was just pretending, but he decided to assume that she didn't know.
Lu Yin told Wendy Yushan about what had happened in the imperial palace, and she fell silent.
"If the Yu family hasn't been exterminated, then why am I the only one left?" Wendy Yushan had a complicated expression.
Lu Yin replied, "Actually, his guess might not be correct. Perhaps the sourcebox array in the imperial palace was left behind by a senior from the Yu family, but Uncle Undying Yushan wouldn't have activated it. He might not even know about it himself."
"Are you trying to make me believe that my father is definitely dead?" Wendy Yushan looked at Lu Yin with amusement.
Lu Yin was stumped, and he awkwardly replied, "Sorry, that's not what I meant."
Wendy Yushan retracted her gaze. "I hope that my father and the others aren't dead."
Lu Yin stood up. "I'll be leaving first."
Wendy Yushan looked at him. "No matter what, even if my father and the others are still alive, I will still support you in leading the Great Yu Empire."
"Thank you." Lu Yin didn't hide his ambitions for the Great Yu Empire. He had sacrificed so much, and he couldn't just hand it over to someone from the Yu bloodline.
After leaving the princess' residence, Lu Yin found Aden. "You said that Undying Yushan knew how to lockbreak. Was that true?"
Aden found it strange that Lu Yin had suddenly asked him about this. "It's definitely true. I actually suspect that he was able to break through my defenses because of his lockbreaking techniques, but his lockbreaking abilities are too high, so I can't be sure."
Lu Yin asked, "You said that Undying Yushan obtained the Undying Manual. Why are you so sure?"
Aden replied, "He said it himself. He wanted to convince me to follow him, and he even tempted me by saying that he would impart it to me."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "You don't suspect that?"
Aden answered matter-of-factly, "Why would I?
There aren't many people in the same realm who can break through my defenses. It's not strange for someone like him to obtain the Undying Manual. Although the Undying Manual is very famous, there are also legends of similar manuals in the Starfall Sea. It's not impossible for someone to obtain it if they're lucky. "
