Sixteenth naturally had the right to enter as well, and he looked at the trio strangely. He wanted to ask something, but when he saw Xu San's expression, he decided not to speak.
The island was bustling with activity. The gathering was organized under Shang Rong's name, and it was a pre-war mobilization. All of the young elites around Starlight Island had come, and with so many people present, there were naturally conflicts.
For example, the fat and skinny duo had attracted a lot of hate along the way. These two had no filter and said anything they wanted. Even Xu San had been disgusted by them, let alone the others.
They were lucky to have not been beaten to death.
Xu San led the trio and Sixteenth to the center of the island, where a towering stone pillar stood.
"The true leaders of this gathering are at the top of the pillar. Almost everyone who can participate is from an Imprinter family. You don't have to worry about the passersby," Xu San announced loudly as he led the way.
Many people had been angered by the Blue Hero Duo, and now that Xu San was here, their faces turned purple with anger.
Sixteenth hurriedly flattered him, not forgetting to mock the people around him.
Lu Yin was impressed that this guy hadn't been beaten to death yet, and that fat and skinny duo still existed.
"Little Xiang Xiang!" Xu San's sudden shout startled the group.
Many people around him were startled by his sudden outburst.
Further away, a group of people walked out from a corner. The one at the front was a petite girl with a sweet smile. Many youths had gathered around her, and from their auras, they could tell that they were from large families.
These people had been walking well, but when Xu San shouted, the girl's expression turned ugly. The youths around her all looked over in shock.
Xu San ran over with a flattering smile on his face. He came to the woman's side and said, "Little Xiangxiang, where have you been all this time?
I've been looking for you. "
The girl's expression turned ugly, and she gently replied, "I went for a stroll."
"A stroll?"
Xu San shouted again, "Do you know how dangerous it is? There are enemies everywhere, and there's even a bunch of Little Xiangxiang looking to curry favor. It's very dangerous for you to go out like this. Little Xiangxiang, promise me that you won't leave on your own in the future. You know …"
Xu San's spittle flew everywhere, and many people looked over. The girl's expression turned ugly, but she couldn't do anything.
The people around her were helpless as well, but they seemed to be used to it.
Lu Yin and the others walked over and stood quietly to the side, watching Xu San speak as if they were his lackeys.
After a while, Xu San finally finished, "Little Xiang Xiang, let's go to the party together."
The woman didn't say a word. She silently walked in front of Xu San. Xu San licked his lips and continued to speak. The surrounding young elites didn't like him, but they were all patient and didn't say anything.
As the disciple of Ancestor Lingtong, Xu San's position was extremely high, and very few people dared to challenge him.
Ling Que said in a low voice, "A single piece of rat poop spoils the entire pot of soup."
…
Looking from afar, the stone pillar didn't look too big. However, upon closer inspection, one would realize that the stone pillar was very wide, and there was a courtyard at the top.
This courtyard had belonged to the previous owner of the island, but after the Sixth Mainland had taken over the island, that owner had died. However, the courtyard had been perfectly preserved, and it was now occupied by Shang Rong.
Lu Yin and the rest followed Xu San to the top of the stone pillar, but Xu San ran off to pester the girl, completely ignoring them.
The courtyard was very large and was filled with exquisite delicacies and fine wine. There were also many attendants walking around.
The cultivators were all looking for people to talk to. It was just like a cocktail party.
The Sixteenth Brother was determined to follow Xu San and kept following him.
No one knew where Starsibyl had gone.
Ling Que's eyes were shining, but no one knew what he was doing.
Lu Yin had nothing to do, so he simply ate.
Actually, he was still very interested in food. He remembered that Silver's dream had been to become a gourmet, but he didn't know where that guy had gone or if he was dead.
When he thought about Silver's despicable foxy smile, Lu Yin felt uncomfortable.
When he thought of Silver, he also thought of Xia Luo. Compared to Silver, he didn't know what Xia Luo was thinking.
They had been separated from each other for many years, and he didn't know when they would meet again.
"Have you heard?
The Fifth Mainland's General Appointment Platform's titled Xiao is now Prince Xiao. He's currently right across from our Starlight Island. "Someone was discussing this topic nearby, and the entire gathering was filled with discussion.
Lu Yin listened as he ate.
"Although the Fifth Mainland isn't that great, their Kings are still very powerful. This Hua Xiao is rumored to be a true disciple of the Neoverse's Sirius Sect. He's extremely powerful and has even clashed with a Realmling before."
"It's strange. The Fifth Mainland has always been suppressed by us, but they've always had an endless stream of experts. This is especially true in the Neoverse, where there are too many Kings. These fellows all dare to fight against the Realmlings, and their strength isn't any weaker than that of the Cosmic Imprinter's descendants."
"We have more powerhouses, and we can deal with as many of them as they come. Besides, only about half of our peers are actually attacking the Fifth Mainland's Innerverse, and there's still a small portion that hasn't arrived yet. It's said that Wu Taibai of the Daosource Three Skies doesn't plan on coming out."
"It's not just Wu Taibai; many of our Daosource Sect's disciples don't plan on coming out either. The main attacking force is still the Nine Regions."
…
Lu Yin's eyes flickered, as he recalled that the Sixth Mainland had a Daosource Sect. Since there was a Daosource Sect, it naturally had its own disciples. The Innerverse was currently facing experts from the Nine Regions, and the Daosource Sect's experts had indeed yet to appear. However, even if the Daosource Sect's disciples did appear, they wouldn't be able to surpass the Realmlings. At most, they would be close to the Realmlings.
However, this was still very terrifying. The Nine Region Imprinter's descendants and the Daosource Sect's disciples definitely outnumbered the Innerverse, which was enough to crush them.
The Sixth Mainland far surpassed the Fifth Mainland.
Lu Yin heard quite a bit of news from the discussions going on all around him. Most of the discussions were about the thunderstorm zone, where the main attacking force against the Sixth Mainland was a group from the Cosmic Sea that had been formed by several smaller groups. There was also a group from the Spiritual Seal Flowzone that had retreated to the Cosmic Sea, such as the Lingling clan.
As for Ling Palace, it was the Ten Arbiters who were competing with Shang Rong.
When Lu Yin heard about Ling Palace, his expression turned strange. These two were really fated. Back in the Daosource Sect's ruins, Ling Palace had fought with Shang Rong several times. Now, in the Cosmic Sea, these two were fighting again. Could they have developed feelings for each other?
"Speaking of which, the Fifth Mainland's Ten Arbiters are really ruthless. They don't have imprints or bloodlines, but they're still evenly matched with the Realmlings."
"Shh, don't say that. Shang Rong doesn't like it when people say that. He's actually been suppressed the entire time."
"That can't be. The Realmlings are being suppressed?"
"That's what I heard. Someone personally confirmed that Shang Rong is being suppressed by one of the Fifth Mainland's Ten Arbiters, White Knight. It doesn't look like they're fighting, but more like they're delaying. Shang Rong is delaying White Knight."
"Hiss! That's too ruthless. How did the Fifth Mainland give birth to these ten monsters?"
"Haven't you heard?
The Fifth Mainland's General Appointment Platform can seal an Arbiter, but no one has been able to do so until now. Whoever does so is challenging the Ten Arbiters. Even the experts from the Neoverse won't openly challenge the Ten Arbiters. Those ten are monsters. "
"It looks like only the Daosource Three Skies can suppress them."
"That's not necessarily true. The Ten Arbiters have varying levels of strength, and the same goes for the Realmlings. Shang Rong Rong might not be a match for them, but that doesn't mean that the other Realmlings aren't. We'll see."
…
"Bro, I heard that you were beaten up by someone from the Fifth Mainland called Avery?
Hahahaha. "
"Bullshit, I was the one who beat him up."
"Stop pretending. Many people saw it. If you hadn't used a power vessel to escape, you would have been dead by now."
"Don't worry. The next time I see him, I'll definitely destroy him."
…
"I heard that someone has issued a bounty for the capture of the Mavis Clan. Have any of you encountered any Mavis Clan members?"
"We met them once. That woman is ridiculously strong, but that's not all. She even managed to tame a sea turtle from the Cosmic Sea. She almost swallowed my brother whole."
"The Mavis Clan is indeed strange. I heard that no one has ever killed a Mavis Clan member."
…
"Actually, our Thunderstorm Area is relatively peaceful. I heard that many strange powerhouses have appeared in other areas. Some call themselves gods, some fly around in spacecraft, and there are also bastards who constantly release smoke. I heard that there are even brothels flying in the sky."
"I also heard that there are dead people riding skeleton horses in some places."
"Yes, there are also people who know secret techniques, and it's not just one or two of them. The Fifth Mainland is getting weirder and weirder."
"It's not weird. Those people basically come from the Fifth Mainland's Neoverse. That's where the Fifth Mainland's strongest powerhouses gather. Back then, the Martial Ancestor tried to destroy the Neoverse in one fell swoop," someone said.
"It's a pity that he failed, and he even caused a celestial phenomenon."
"No matter how powerful the Neoverse is, if all nine domains worked together, then it would be easily destroyed. Everything else aside, each domain would send out a Cosmic Imprinter, which means that there are nine of them. Nine powerhouses with power levels over a million, plus a Celestial Imprinter and a Progenitor. Anything can be destroyed. What a pity."
…
"In my opinion, the Fifth Mainland's Starsibyl Sect should be destroyed the most. It's said that they can even perform divination. They're a bunch of blind people."
"Just because they can perform divination doesn't mean that they're blind."
"If they're not blind, then how can they perform divination?"
"That makes sense."
…
Lu Yin took a sip of his drink. The discussions around him had given him a better understanding of many things that had happened in the Cosmic Sea. Even he found it strange, let alone the people from the Sixth Mainland.
There were spacecraft that crashed into people, people who called themselves gods, bastards that released smoke, brothels that could fly, and even blind people who could perform divination. It was a mess.
But overall, the situation did not sound too bad. Lu Yin had no idea what exactly existed in the Neoverse. Right, he could ask Starsibyl.
As he thought about it, Lu Yin searched for Starsibyl but did not find her. If she did not want to be discovered, then not many people would be able to find her.
Lu Yin did not find Starsibyl, but he did find Ling Que, who was baring his teeth at someone else.
Lu Yin felt a headache coming on.
Xu San hurriedly went over and did his best to drag Ling Que back.
"Are you trying to kill me?!" Xu San barked.
Ling Que rolled his eyes. "Women? Whoever has the ability can chase them. Who's that guy? He actually dares to steal the woman I'm interested in."
"His father is an Imprinter," Xu San said viciously.
Ling Que pursed his lips. An Imprinter was an Emissary. He helplessly said, "It'll probably take a long time before my dream of reorganizing the support group can be realized."
Lu Yin casually picked up a plate of food and was about to continue eating when he glanced outside. He quickly turned around and lowered his head.
