Cultivator slaves from the Fifth Mainland were very common, and many young masters from aristocratic families liked to play around with them. However, this was the first time they had seen someone carrying a spacecraft.
Sui Sui Meng Xiao Hua
Ling Que finally showed his face. Fortunately, he spent most of his time in the Innerverse and did not fight in the Cosmic Sea. Otherwise, he would have been easily recognized.
It was even less safe to change one's appearance in a place like this. The war had been going on for several years, and many things had happened. Disguises were not rare, and there had to be ways to deal with them. As soon as they were discovered, they would not even need to be interrogated as a group of experts would surround them.
Lu Yin could clearly see Starlight Island and the countless rune lines that soared into the sky. Although they were all suppressed to a power level of 200,000, there were still too many of them.
Although it was an island, it was not small and was equivalent to a continent.
Suddenly, the sky darkened as countless bolts of lightning rained down and bombarded the surroundings of Starlight Island. The seawater roared, and the sky flickered as if it were a realm of ghosts.
This was the Cosmic Sea, where the weather could change at any time. The power of the lightning was very high, and most Limiteers might not be able to withstand it. Some of the bolts of lightning even twined together in the sky, increasing their power to the point where they could rival an Explorer or even a Cruiser.
Lu Yin was speechless. It was no wonder why no one dared to venture into the Cosmic Sea. If he had done so when he was still a Limiteer, he would have been doomed.
He suddenly thought of someone: Ye Xingchen, who was known as one of the strongest Limiteers and was on par with Mu Rong, Ling Que, and Lu Yin. This person had formed a battle group and ventured into the Cosmic Sea. He was not simple, and it was not easy to survive in a place like this.
Of course, Lu Yin did not believe that Ye Xingchen had relied on his own abilities to survive. No matter how gifted a Limiteer was, he would not be able to do so. There had to be a way.
This time, the lightning bombardment lasted for a long time.
Ling Que smoothly carried the spacecraft and landed on Starlight Island.
No one on Starlight Island stopped him, which made Lu Yin even more vigilant. This proved that the island definitely had a way to secretly inspect him.
At that moment, a bolt of lightning crashed down in the distance, illuminating a corner where a little girl was trembling.
The lightning struck the island and splashed in all directions, and one of the bolts just happened to be aimed at the girl.
The girl's face was pale, and her frail body was very weak in front of the lightning. The lightning was like a giant beast that swallowed her whole.
Lu Yin was just about to act when Starsibyl appeared and picked up the little girl. With a wave of her hand, the lightning disappeared.
Lu Yin was astonished, as Starsibyl had rushed out the instant that the thunderbolt had crashed down from the sky. It was clear that she had anticipated that the lightning would strike the little girl. This was the power of divination, and she was able to predict the enemy's movements.
The little girl was terrified, and her face was pale. However, she still gratefully said something to Starsibyl.
Starsibyl's image was just too good. She was absolutely beautiful, and her temperament was otherworldly. No one would believe that she was a bad person. The little girl was quickly won over by Starsibyl, and she kept calling her elder sister.
"Yaya, where is your home?
I'll send you back, "Starsibyl gently asked as she stroked the girl's hair.
The girl blinked her big bright eyes and said softly, "Thank you, big sister."
Starsibyl smiled, causing Ling Que to feel intoxicated.
Lu Yin looked around him. Most of the people had hidden themselves, and the houses on the island were clearly lightning-proof. Nobody appeared, and only some rune lines could be seen flashing in a distant corner. Clearly, there were cultivators from the Sixth Mainland observing the situation.
However, Lu Yin's group had entered Starlight Island through the outer seal, so the cultivators here wouldn't interrogate them directly.
Because Starlight Island had been bombarded by lightning for a long time, the structures of the houses were simple, and there weren't many people on the streets. Even if the sky was clear, it was clear most of the time.
Above their heads, the stars were like a curtain.
It was a beautiful scene, but if one looked carefully, they would realize that they weren't stars. Lu Yin didn't know exactly what they were, but he didn't ask. He wanted to wait until they had settled down.
Although Starlight Island was the Sixth Mainland's base for invading the Cosmic Sea, most people were still locals. The Sixth Mainland ruled over Starlight Island, and only the upper echelons were in charge. Nobody cared about ordinary families like Yaya's.
Along the way, cultivators from the Sixth Mainland would occasionally fly past, but nobody paid them any attention.
However, there were always rune lines following behind them. They weren't humans, but rather some sort of machine that was constantly monitoring them.
They weren't the only ones, as these machines were everywhere. It was clear that Starlight Island was being monitored everywhere.
It seemed that any cultivator who came to Starlight Island would be monitored, even if they were from the Sixth Mainland.
Yaya's house wasn't too far from the edge of the island, and it was a small, square, five-story building. There was even a lightning-proof installation on the roof that occasionally flashed with electricity.
"Sister, we're here." Yaya carefully looked at Starsibyl, unable to hide the admiration and shyness in her eyes.
Starsibyl stroked Yaya's hair and asked with concern, "Where are your parents?"
Yaya replied, "They went out to gather goods, and they won't be back for a few days."
Ling Que suddenly moved closer. "Then can I stay behind to protect you?"
Yaya jumped in fright and hurriedly retreated.
Starsibyl grabbed Ling Que by the shoulder and flung him away. She smiled at Yaya and said, "Don't be afraid, Yaya. This brother isn't a bad person."
Yaya blinked her large eyes. "No one who's with Sister is a bad person."
Starsibyl smiled. "Can Sister come in and have a seat?"
Yaya grunted and then led the three into her house.
Lu Yin sweated profusely, as he felt like he was trying to trick a child. He glanced at Starsibyl; this woman was really fickle. She had one attitude towards them and another towards this little girl. It was a seamless transition.
Over the next two days, the three of them stayed in Yaya's house. Outside, the machine with the faint rune lines kept an eye on them.
Lu Yin was constantly worried that someone would come to investigate, but fortunately, no one came.
Over the past two days, he had discovered something strange. Yaya's house was by the sea, and many cultivators from the Sixth Mainland would pass by here when they went out to sea. He had also discovered that these cultivators were all young, and almost none of them were old.
Celestial phenomena only suppressed power levels, not age restrictions.
To verify his suspicions, Lu Yin observed for another two days, and it was indeed the case.
He shared his observations with Starsibyl.
Ling Que rolled his eyes. "You must be mistaken."
Starsibyl replied, "I'm not mistaken. Right now, the Cosmic Sea is indeed a struggle between the younger generation."
Lu Yin and Ling Que were astonished. "Why?"
Starsibyl explained, "The celestial phenomena in the Cosmic Sea are too strange. We have the Four Hegemons leading the way, and they have used the celestial phenomena to kill too many of the Sixth Mainland's experts. However, the Sixth Mainland has too many older powerhouses, and they have slaughtered many of our experts. In this regard, both sides cancel each other out, and it can be considered a mutual loss. This loss has been going on for several years, and neither side can bear it anymore. Thus, both sides have taken a step back. We will not use the celestial phenomena, and the Sixth Mainland will not send out any of their older powerhouses.
The Cosmic Sea is one of the most important battlefields in this war. As long as they won, the Sixth Mainland would be able to open a path to the Neoverse that was not suppressed by the celestial phenomena. At that time, the Sixth Mainland would be able to open a path to the Neoverse, which was not suppressed by the celestial phenomena. At that time, the top experts of the three regions would be able to appear.
They would be able to display their true strength.
Before the celestial phenomena had been suppressed, the Sixth Mainland had been able to sweep through the entire Innerverse. If not for the sudden appearance of the celestial phenomena, they would have already fought their way to the Neoverse.
"Wait, does that mean that only the Sixth Mainland's younger generation is left on Starlight Island?" Ling Que exclaimed.
Starsibyl did not deny it.
Ling Que gritted his teeth. "Why didn't you say so earlier? To think that I was worried."
Starsibyl glanced at him. "There are Realmlings on Starlight Island."
That one sentence shut Ling Que up. In his heart, there was no difference between a Realmling and an Imprinter, as they were both existences that could not be resisted.
Ya Ya walked in with three drinks in her hands.
Starsibyl hurriedly put on a smile.
Ling Que's smile became even more brilliant, but Ya Ya was afraid of him, as she always felt that he was a bad person. On the other hand, although Lu Yin did not speak much or smile much, Ya Ya felt that he was reliable. At the very least, he did not seem like a bad person.
A child's point of view was very pure, and thus, Ling Que was labeled as a bad person.
As she watched Ya Ya leave, Starsibyl sighed. "Her parents have passed away."
Lu Yin and Ling Que were not surprised, as they were not stupid, and they could tell at a glance.
Ya Ya had lied, but it was also a way for her to protect herself. She had even hung up adults' clothes in her room and pretended that there were adults in the house. This was all for the sake of protecting herself.
Although she did not express it, the three of them could tell that their appearance had made Ya Ya very happy, and she was busying herself.
"If this war ends, I'll bring her to the Starsibyl Sect," Starsibyl said.
Lu Yin was astonished. "You're quite kind."
Starsibyl did not reply.
"I'm also willing to bring her to the Lingling clan," Ling Que said with a melancholy tone.
Lu Yin immediately rejected him. "She won't go with you. You look like a bad person."
"You're the bad person! I have a support group, okay? Go and ask around about my reputation. Which one of them doesn't praise me?" Ling Que angrily retorted.
Lu Yin rolled his eyes. "They like Qian Qian and Mu Rong more."
Ling Que opened his mouth, but no words came out. He was thinking about the past that he could not bear to think about.
Lu Yin also remembered that the support group was truly terrifying. He thought about Big Pao, Little Pao, Lulu Mavis, and the others, and he wondered how they were doing. There were many old friends in the Innerverse, and someone must have died in this war. He hoped that it was not them.
Lu Yin recalled the past and looked out the window. Eh?
He seemed to see a familiar figure.
He took a closer look, and then his mouth fell open. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
At this moment, a group of cultivators from the Sixth Mainland was leading the way on the street. Eight of them were carrying a large palanquin, and a young man was lying down on it with his legs crossed. He was comfortably eating fruit.
The young man had shifty eyes, and it was obvious that he was not a good person. He was only a Limiteer, but the cultivators around him were all extremely respectful to him.
Beside the palanquin was a young man who had been slapped outside of Starlight Island. At this moment, the young man no longer had the arrogance of a scion of an aristocratic family. He looked more like a lackey, licking his lips as he spoke. From time to time, he would lower his head and respond as if he was listening to a lecture.
The more humble and respectful the young man was, the happier the shifty-eyed young man became. He tried his best to maintain a reserved smile, but he could not hide his delight. He was like a rat that had gained intelligence. The more he smiled, the more pleased he became, and the more vulgar he looked.
