Chapter 4589: Xiang Siyu?

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Xiang Siyu rose to her feet and looked upward. She saw the Mother Tree, the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, and then the Aevum Inch. The paleness had not yet faded from her face, yet a faint smile appeared on her breathtakingly beautiful features. Her body slowly twisted between light and shadow before finally vanishing.

Hong Xia was making his way across the Aevum Inch back to Crimson Starshade. He had spent a century sneaking into the Nine Odysseys Megaverse to find Xiang Siyu. Although he was unwilling, since he had been discovered, there was nothing else that he could do.

However, there would still be more chances in the future.

He looked back. The Trio was currently acting too arrogantly. Lu Yins one remaining chance to act would not be enough to protect them with that sort of attitude.

However, Hong Xia did not have much time left either.

He looked away. Right in front of him, white clothes fluttered. His pupils sharply contracted, and he quickly came to a stop while staring on in horror. At some unknown point in time, someone had arrived in front of him, and worse, it was someone incomparably familiar. Xiang Siyu?

He stared at the woman in a daze. She was standing ahead of him while smiling at him. He felt an indescribable absurdity. How is this even possible? Was she not taken away by Green Lotus? Why is she here? And how did she manage to approach me without me noticing? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Not even Lu Yin could do that.

This was something that could not be done even with teleportation.

Her? Hong Xia stood where he was, not saying a word and simply staring at Xiang Siyu.

She continued to smile as she studied him. When you suddenly appeared behind me a bit ago, did I show the same expression? How ugly, little fellow.

Lit- little fellow? Hong Xia gaped at Xiang Siyu and slowly clenched a fist, his wariness spiking more than ever. Who are you?

A bit of a smirk touched her mouth. Her beauty was truly intoxicating. Do you not know? You deliberately went looking for me.

You are not her, Hong Xia growled. His Twelvefold Path of Dispassion boiled, and his eyes betrayed constant changes. It was as if something was about to appear. At the same time, he released the Grand Clarity sourcebox array. He had never felt so nervous before any other expert. He was completely on edge, even frightened.

That was a feeling that Hong Xia had not experienced in a very long time.

Xiang Siyus hair drifted about as she raised a hand, her fair fingers twining about a strand of hair, much as a young girl might do. Her complexion had regained a bit of color, and she looked at Hong Xia while openly showing a teasingly amused expression. I am her. It is just that your understanding does not allow you to know what to call me. Let me think

Forget it. Xiang Siyu is fine. I like this name. However- As she spoke, her expression fell. I very much dislike what she did. She affected me for the sake of a little fellow. If not for you, I still would not have awakened. To show my gratitude to you The corners of her mouth curved up as she concluded, From now on, you are mine.

As for that civilization, however much good fortune it received, it should receive an equal amount of misfortune. Only that is fair.

***

At the Grand Clarity Civilizations ruins, Lu Yin stayed within the Clear Sky Locked Earth Array for ten years. A single decade was a very short amount of time. He spent those years studying the sourcebox array, and ultimately reached a conclusion: he could not learn this array.

How should his reasoning be described? It was simply intuition. It was much the same as how certain powers suited certain people. No matter how high someone elses talent might be, they would never be able to learn that specific power.

Lu Yin had that feeling regarding the Clear Sky Locked Earth Array, and it was especially clear. Every time he studied this sourcebox array, he always felt out of place. This sensation did not change even after ten years, so he gave up.

Having cultivated to his level, there were some things in existence that could not be seen, yet he had no choice but to believe in them. Only what suited him was useful for him to learn. What did not suit him should not be forced. It was about opportunity and fate.

Perhaps Grand Clarity itself had also followed this same line of thought. If not, with that civilizations mastery of sourcebox arrays, it should have been impossible for them to leave this particular array behind.

There was also another possibility: they had simply been too pressed for time.

Even if Lu Yin forcibly learned this array, it would take him an enormous amount of time. Just to begin comprehending it, it would take him at least several thousand years. In the past, it was possible that Grand Clarity had simply not had enough time.

Although he could not learn it, the Clear Sky Locked Earth Array was already in place. Even if he did not learn it, he could still make use of it.

He left the Grand Clarity ruins and returned to the Tianyuan, fetching another clone. This time, he used his divine energy clone.

He had dedicated this clone to cultivating Obscuras divine energy. With its tri-colored divine energy transformation, it was already an Aberrant. However, because it was just a mere clone, it could only compare to a peak one-law expert. It could not match Lu Yins true body as an Aberrant and use the tri-colored divine energy transformation to kill two-law Immortals like Ming Yu.

To make use of the Clear Sky Locked Earth Array, aside from learning it, one could also adapt to it.

Leaving his divine energy clone within the array would allow it to adapt to the array. With that, once the sourcebox array was activated, the clone would not be sealed by it. That was how Lu Yin intended to use it.

He would then give Obscura, the Death Megaverse, and other civilizations a surprise in this place.

Did they not all want to find the Grand Clarity Civilization? It was right here.

After placing his divine energy clone within the Clear Sky Locked Earth Array, Lu Yin left instructions for the ferryman of the River of Aeons and then returned to the Trio.

While retrieving his divine energy clone, he had sensed that a battle had been fought in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse. There had been obvious evidence of an Immortal battle, and even the Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm had been changed. This could not have been a simple spat.

Hong Xia came? In the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, Lu Yin looked at Green Lotus in surprise. Master Qing Cao and Chu Songyun were also present.

The Greater Sancte nodded. He abducted Xiang Siyu, but I caught up to him. He had no choice but to return her.

Lu Yin frowned. He actually came for Xiang Siyu?

He should have considered this possibility before. When he had gone to Crimson Starshade with Xiang Siyu, they had repeatedly run into Chivalrous Bei. Those encounters were impossible for Hong Xia to understand. As a powerful Immortal, it was only natural for him to care about something that he could not understand.

How is Xiang Siyu?

The Great Master is taking care of her. There is nothing wrong with her body.

Lu Yin looked towards the Crimson Starshade Megaverse. Unfortunately, his Mirrorlight Art could not see that far. He wont give up. I will have to trouble you to keep watch, Senior.

Green Lotus said, Within my Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm, as long as he takes action, he will be detected. Do nt worry.

Master Qing Cao looked at Lu Yin. How are things in the Death Megaverse?

Lu Yin gave a brief explanation of his current situation, stupefying the other three men.

His skeleton clone had managed to join Obscura, and the two behemoths were about to go to war. It felt as if humanity was hiding in the dark and watching a show.

In the past, they had always been the protagonists with others always watching them, but this time, they could watch other civilizations. The novel experience felt far too good.

Chu Songyun was worried. Master, both sides know that you are a spy for the other side. Wont this be dangerous?

Lu Yin laughed. Even if there is danger, theres nothing that I can do about it. I can only try to avoid it. By the way, how is Chang Tian? Has he adapted? Can he find the Longevity Civilization?

Green Lotus shook his head. He has adapted to this place. After all, we are all humans, but he cannot find the location of the Longevity Civilization.

Lu Yin regretted that. If they could find the Longevity Civilization, it would be perfect.

He next went to Deathmound. No matter how he considered things, Hong Xia had targeted Xiang Siyu because of Lu Yin.

Upon arriving at Deathmound, Lu Yin swept the place with his consciousness. Not good!

He found the Great Master, but she was unconscious. It was clearly not something that had happened recently, and yet there was no evidence of any attack.

Lu Yin could not even tell how the Great Master had fallen unconscious, though waking her was simple: he pushed her, and she woke up.

The Great Master opened her eyes to see Lu Yin, which was rather confusing.

What happened? Who knocked you out? Lu Yin asked.

The Great Master was at a loss. Unconscious?

Her expression quickly changed, and she looked around. Where is Xiang Siyu?

Lu Yin shook his head. Gone. Ive already searched the entire Trio. She isnt here.

The Great Masters expression turned grave. Something is wrong with her.

What do you mean?

The woman proceeded to describe the feeling that Xiang Siyu had given her after she had woken up in the Great Masters care. Lu Yin felt his hair stand on end as he listened. It sounded as if the Great Master had met an entirely different person.

A clone? Lu Yin had clones of his own, so he was not particularly surprised that such a method might have been used. What made his hair stand on end was Xiang Siyus special nature. It did not seem that her incredible luck had ended without cause.

He thought of the luck characters that had burned up, as well as the blood that Xiang Siyu had coughed up in his place of seclusion. Everything told him that there was something incomprehensible, yet real, that had taken place.

He had a vague guess of something, though it was unbelievable.

Lord Lu, do you know what is going on with Xiang Siyu? Seeing Lu Yins solemn expression, the Great Master grew more curious.

Lu Yin told her, Rest at ease. I will handle this.

He then teleported away, making his way to Crimson Starshade.

As soon as he arrived at the megaverse, he searched the place with his consciousness, looking through the entire megaverse, startling even Jiu Wen and Xi Shangfeng.

Lu Yin did not find Hong Xia.

He peered across the Aevum Inch between Crimson Starshade and the Trio. Hong Xias speed meant that such distance could not be considered far.

What happened? Jiu Wen called out.

Lu Yin looked over. Hong Xia went to the Trio.

Jiu Wens expression changed, and he gritted his teeth. He cares about us less and less! This cannot continue.

Lu Yin said, Senior, Hong Xia is no longer an insurmountable mountain. I no longer need you to reduce his power.

Jiu Wen hesitated, so Lu Yin continued to explain, When the Trio was assaulted, our human civilization lost much, but it also gained much. If you also come to the Trio, Senior, then even if I become useless, with your strength, Greater Sancte Green Lotuss, Mister Mus, and Chu Songyuns, the latter two of whom both possess guardian artifacts, we can still stand tall in the Aevum Inch.

It no longer matters whether or not Hong Xias Path of Dispassion is broken by seventy percent.

Xi Shangfeng stared at Lu Yin. All along, everyone had been racking their brains on how to weaken Ancestor Xia. For this, Jiu Wen had even planned to sacrifice himself. But how much time had passed? Was there already no need for such measures?

Then what about these people?

We take them all away.

Jiu Wen was surprised. What about Hong Xia?

Lu Yin replied, Before, the reason why he refused to allow the people of Crimson Starshade to be taken away was because he feared that, without them as a restraint, you would be able to leave the Blood Tower and join hands with Green Lotus to deal with him. Senior, we no longer need to weaken his Path of Dispassion. Theres no reason for him to use these people to restrain you anymore, Senior.

With Wang Wen exposed, what our human civilization will face next is him. Hong Xia will keep as low a profile as possible.

Everyone in Crimson Starshade then started to reach out and make contact with one another. Lu Yin was going to take all of them to the Human Trio. There, a place had long since been prepared for the people of Crimson Starshade.

As for Jiu Wen and Xi Shangfeng, they stepped out of the Blood Tower.

Lu Yin wanted to kill Hong Xia, but that was not currently possible for him. Even Green Lotus and Jiu Wen together could not do that. Humanity was still not able to shoulder the price needed to fight Hong Xia to the death.

However, that was only on the surface. The Trio might be watched by every civilization, but Lu Yins clones were hidden in the darkness and not being watched by anyone. There would come a day when Hong Xia was buried.
