Chapter 4056: Motto

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Greetings, Lord Lu. Gu Duanke and the other peak Dukkhan both bowed.

Behind them, the Second Nightking respectfully withdrew. The pressure from the presence of the three men was overwhelming.

He had learned that Gu Duanke and the other man were both peak Dukkhans, which was a cultivation level that previously only been held by the Heavens Sects Origin Progenitor and Aeternuss True God. It was a realm that had quite literally been the peak of the Tianyuan.

For such people to be so deferential to Lord Lu just what had Lord Lu been up to in recent years?

Lord Lu might not mind, but the Second Nightking was unable to endure even the slightest bit of aura that these experts accidentally let slip. It was too much for the man.

Lu Yin nodded. Sit.

Gu Duanke sat without any fuss. He had bowed as a show of respect for the Tianyuans ruler, but he and Lu Yin were on quite friendly terms.

The other man was far more stiff. Ill stand.

Gu Duanke chuckled. Come on, Old Jiang, have a seat. Mr. Lus casual about such things.

Lu Yin smiled and nodded at the man. Sit.

Old Jiang sucked in a deep breath and then bowed again. Thank you, Lord Lu.

He slowly sat down, all the while staring at Lu Yin with eyes full of respect.

He had heard of Lu Yin; this man was considered the greatest beneath the Immortal realm, the one who had killed people in four different domains of the Nine Odysseys Megaverse with a single sword strike. Even so, Old Jiang had not thought much of the rumors. Despite becoming a peak Dukkhan by accepting a Seed Transfusion, he had figured he would simply avoid provoking Lu Yin, and that would be the end of things.

Then, Lu Yin had created the Nirvana Tree Path, which allowed cultivators to fuse with multiple spirit seeds. Old Jiang had been chosen by Awe Gate herself to learn the Nirvana Tree Path.

Only after learning the new cultivation path had the old man realized just how shallow his vision had been, as well as how staggeringly brilliant Lu Yin truly was.

Even more shocking were Lu Yins fights after he returned to the Tianyuan. He had severed an Immortal beasts arm. Everyone had witnessed that incident, and the beasts aura had unmistakably belonged to an Immortal. That battle had shaken everyone to their core.

Being known as the most powerful cultivator beneath the Immortal realm was lightyears away from severing an Immortals arm.

It meant that, despite only being an Ortuser, Lu Yin had already taken a step toward being able to slay Immortals. Such a thing was completely unheard of in all of history. If Lu Yin continued on his current path, he might eventually become humanitys strongest Immortal.

Excellence demanded deference, and Old Jiangs previous indifference had since transformed into fervor.

He had chosen to join the Sixth Night Pillar. After receiving the Nirvana Tree Path, he had immediately asked to join the Sixth Night Pillar in order to aid the Tianyuan. He had made that decision both because of his respect towards Lu Yin as well as to repay a debt.

At the moment, Old Jiang was nervous at being so close to Lu Yin, despite the Dukkhans advanced age.

I should be the one thanking you. The Nine Odysseys Megaverse sent support to the Tianyuan. It was not easy to send both the Sixth and Seventh Night Pillars. Thank you, Lu Yin offered his sincere thanks.

Gu Duanke waved a hand. Theres no need to thank us. If you have time, come back to the Nine Odysseys Megaverse. That way, you can thank Awe Gate instead.

Lu Yin smiled and nodded. Come back?

Many in that megaverse would consider Lu Yin returning. Already, the Nine Odysseys Megaverse felt like a second home to him.

In that megaverse, there were some who had schemed against him, but far more respected and accepted him.

If that were not the case, he would have never been able to merge with the Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm.

Mr. Lu, we came here to bid you farewell. Most of the bugs have already been dealt with, and the Tianyuans main universe has been completely cleaned out. As for the few which fled into parallel universes, please handle those on your own, Gu Duanke stated bluntly.

Lu Yin nodded. I understand. When will you leave?

As soon as we can, Gu Duanke replied, his expression growing complicated. The Nest civilization attacked the Tianyuan, but I worry that they might target the Nine Odysseys Megaverse as well.

Lu Yin looked at him. You guessed right. They did attack the Nine Odysseys Megaverse.

What? Gu Duanke and Old Jiang both shot to their feet, staring at Lu Yin in shock.

Lu Yin motioned downwards with a hand. Relax. The Nine Odysseys Megaverse is safe, and the attacking bugs were all wiped out. Master Ku Deng even broke through to the Immortal realm, which is cause for celebration.

Gu Duanke let out a long breath. For a moment, he was speechless. Mr. Lu, next time say it all at once. Suspense can be deadly.

Lu Yin chuckled. I told you everything quite quickly. At least I didnt start with there were two Immortals bugs.

What? The men leaped up yet again. Not even knowing that their home megaverse was safe was enough to suppress their shock.

Two enemy Immortals was unbelievable.

But only one Immortal Verdant Sage attacked the Tianyuan. Did the beast that you maimed also go to the Nine Odysseys Megaverse?

Theres no connection between the two. That beast was injured too severely, and it will likely lie low for a while. The Nest civilization had a Immortal that was hiding beyond the Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm, and once the Nine Odysseys Megaverse sent help to the Tianyuan, they used Luo Chan to join back together with that second Immortal and attack the Nine Odysseys Megaverse

As Lu Yin explained what had happened, the mens shock only deepened. This had been a war between civilizations; even the slightest misstep could have doomed an entire species.

Shortly after that, the two colossal Night Pillars moved into the Aevum Inch to return back to their home.

Cultivators from all across the Tianyuan turned out to see the Night Pillars off.

The people from the Spirit Nidus looked conflicted. They had helped the Tianyuan, and they hoped to leverage Lu Yins influence to enter the Nine Odysseys Megaverse and put a stop to how that megaverse plundered the Spirit Niduss resources. But at this moment, the Tianyuan and the Nine Odysseys Megaverse seemed so close that the people of the Spirit Nidus felt abandoned.

Su Shidao arrived. He was the only one of the Spirit Niduss Seven Seraphs still able to move about freely, and he had been pushed forward by many people to negotiate with Lu Yin.

Negotiate? Hearing that word had left Su Shidao feeling sick.

He already knew that they could not return home, or really go anywhere at all. They would have to stay in the Tianyuan for the rest of their lives.

Even so, Su Shidao went to see Lu Yin, intending to at least gauge the mans stance.

As for Master Qing Cao, people had no idea that the Spirit Niduss invincible being was in the Tianyuan.

Qing Cao had only appeared in the Immemorial Citadels universe and at the megaverses boundary gate. He had never appeared on the battlefield.

Lord Lu, Su Shidao of the Spirit Nidus is requesting an audience.

Send him in.

Su Shidao entered the courtyard. He took a deep breath efore appearing in front of Lu Yin, where he bowed. Greetings, Lord Lu.

Lu Yin smiled warmly. Brother Su, why so formal? Theres no need to stand on ceremony.

Su Shidao rolled his eyes as he took a seat. Once there, he stared at Lu Yin. Be straight with me. Whats the current state of the Spirit Nidus?

Lu Yin replied, Thats no longer your burden. As I told you before, in the future, you can settle down here in the Tianyuan with peace of mind. Dont worry. Ill treat you the same as I do everyone else in the Tianyuan.

Su Shidaos voice dropped low. We came to the Tianyuan because many in the Spirit Nidus were unable to accept the state of affairs there and wanted to fight back against the Nine Odysseys Megaverse. That place didnt want the Spirit Nidus to be in a state of upheaval either. According to you, they even considered erasing three eras of the Spirit Niduss cultivators to keep the truth concealed.

Yet it now appears that the Tianyuan and the Nine Odysseys Megaverse are very close and that many people have come to accept reality. They have learned that the gap between us and the Nine Odysseys Megaverse is too vast. We cant even compare to the Tianyuan, which is why theyve come to accept the situation. Can we return to the Spirit Nidus now?

Lu Yin met the older mans eyes. You want to return to the Spirit Nidus?

Su Shidao nodded, readily admitting it. Who doesnt want to go home?

Thats true, who wouldnt? Fine. I agree. You can go back.

Su Shidaos eyes flared. What did you say? Could you repeat that?

Lu Yin smile. I said, I agree.

Truly?

Truly.

You wouldnt lie to me, would you?

Honesty is my motto.

What about the Nine Odysseys Megaverse?

Ill handle that. No one there will give you any trouble.

Su Shidao stared at Lu Yin in disbelief, completely bewildered.

The sudden reversal was too extreme. Since they had arrived in the Tianyuan, he had never considered the possibility of returning home. Lu Yin had managed to seize control of the Spirit Nidus piece by piece, and it was indeed possible that even the Nine Odysseys Megaverse might listen to him. But to say that he would allow them to go back home? This was the same man who had forced them to leave.

Mr. Lu, what are you really thinking? Su Shidao asked, staring intently at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin chuckled. See? If I dont let you return, you beg to go, but now that I agree, you hesitate. How is this my fault?

Su Shidao quickly said, Its not that were refusing, but that I simply dont understand your motives. Youre not planning something for the Spirit Nidus, are you?

Lu Yin picked up his cup to sip some tea, only to discover that it was cold, so he set it back down.

Just as he was about to speak up, Long Xi arrived with two fresh cups, and she replaced Lu Yins cold tea.

Su Shidao completely ignored Long Xi, entirely focused on Lu Yin.

Long Xi glanced at the old man. Poor old man, hes lost all initiative.

Anyone in the Tianyuan who knew Lu Yin understood that, if one ceded the initiative to him, they would never be able to get it back. At least, no one ever had.

That applied to individuals, factions, and even entire universes.

Long Xi knew who the old man was. He was the leader of the people from the Spirit Nidus. Really, so pitiful.

Lu Yin took a sip. Not bad. You should try it.

Su Shidao grew anxious. Mr. Lu, give me a straight answer, considering the many times that Ive helped you.

Lu Yin set his cup back down and met the old mans eyes. I honestly agree to allow you to return. You can leave at any time. I will even promise you that the Nine Odysseys Megaverse wont cause you any trouble. You can tell them that I said so.

Su Shidao was shaken. Does this mans influence in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse really run that deep?

Not even the Spirit Niduss invincible being could make such a promise.

However

Hearing that word did not cause Su Shidao to tense up. Instead, he actually relaxed. Was there ever a time when Lu Yin did not add on conditions? Su Shidao was familiar with how Lu Yin had operated in the Spirit Nidus, and he had also researched Lu Yins past actions in the Tianyuan. This condition was very Lu Yin.

Hearing however reassured Su Shidao.

I agree to allow you to return, but I dont know if your invincible being will agree to that or not, Lu Yin casually stated.

Su Shidao blinked. Our invincible being?

Lu Yin smiled at him. Yes, Master Qing Cao.

Su Shidao stared blankly at him. Master Qing Cao.

He already knew that the Spirit Niduss invincible being was Master Qing Cao. That was something that many in the Tianyuan knew.

But would their own invincible being forbid them from returning?

Why?

I have no idea. Youll have to ask him yourself.
