Lu Yin took one step, but he instantly covered thousands of miles. The floating island was truly too small for someone like him.
He soon noticed Seruzen, who was sitting cross-legged while muttering something under his breath. Lu Yin continued on past the man, who did not even open his eyes. It was clear that his raised, withered arm was becoming more and more desiccated as time passed.
Lu Yin felt that if he could use Extremes Must Be Reversed on Seruzen’s arm, it might be possible to fully restore it back to normal.
However, the truth was that there was no need for Lu Yin to do that. Given Seruzen’s cultivation level, it would not be difficult for him to restore his arm. It could only be said that each person had their own obsessions.
Even an ordinary human could raise their arm up high and forcefully leave it to wither, but it took a great deal of perseverance. As for a cultivator, Seruzen was able to restore his arm, yet he chose to leave it withered, which also required a great perseverance.
In terms of perseverance, Lu Yin felt that he might not be able to compare to Seruzen.
As he turned to look back, he felt that Seruzen’s expression was becoming more and more divine.
Right after that, Lu Yin saw Luo Zang. The man’s expression radiated confidence, and his hands were clasped behind his back, as if he owned the entire universe.magic
Next, he came across Jiang Xiaodao, who was shouting something so loud that his voice had grown hoarse. Then, Lu Yin saw Wen Sansi, who was in the middle of expounding on what made the Fifth Mainland famous throughout the megaverse. There was no denying that the Fifth Mainland’s history and heritage might succeed at attracting a card.
Little Lian begged the void in a distressed manner, looking as though she was praying. It was quite adorable to see.
Gong Yu was rather simple, as he bent his bow and shot arrow after arrow into the sky with his full power.
Each one could be considered quite normal.
After all, Lu Yin had also seen someone strip down and run around nude while waving their arms about. There was someone else crying in confusion. Another was kowtowing as though worshiping something. When Lu Yin moved closer to one person, he even encountered a foul stench—it was a stinkbug... fr(e)ewebnov(e)l.com
As Lu Yin moved around, he saw people letting themselves go in all sorts of different ways. Some of which were so strange that he felt the people had to be insane.
Suddenly, he blankly stared up at the sky as he watched someone walk past. There was no expression on the man’s face, and his eyes were blindfolded. Was that Mu Ke?
Lu Yin had not expected to encounter Mu Ke on the central island. Did that man also possess one of the Lost Clan’s cards? Did he also want to change his card?
For the duration of the Shangsan Festival, no one was prohibited from trading their card for another. Everyone was welcome, regardless of their cultivation level. However, Lu Yin had never expected to see a peak powerhouse participating, much less one who was said to be comparable to Xu Wuwei.
Beyond the island, Xu Wuwei and others were also staring into the sky above the island.
"When did Mu Ke arrive?" Xu Wuwei asked.
Shan Zheng replied, "About the same time as the rest of the outsiders."
Sovereign Shao Yin was surprised. "I thought that he had given up the power of his card. I never thought that he might want to change it. What? Does he want to find an Immemorial card? Would your Lost Clan even be willing to part with one?"
Shao Zheng solemnly replied, "Anyone who receives a card from my Lost Clan is welcome to participate in our Shangsan Festival. Unless they have betrayed humanity or committed some similarly unforgivable deed, all are welcome."
Sovereign Shao Yin smiled. "I'm also quite interested in the power of your Lost Clan’s cards. Would you give me a chance?"
Xu Wuwei casually said, "You are already one of the Three Sovereigns. Why compete with these people?"
"Isn't Mu Ke also out there? He is not necessarily any weaker than you or I," Sovereign Shao Yin retorted.
Shan Zheng answered, "Senior Mu Ke received his card when he was young. If Sovereign Shao Yin wishes to cultivate the power of my Lost Clan, then please ask the Grand Elder."
Sovereign Shao Yin did not reply. His eyes shifted from Mu Ke over to Lu Yin, who was very close to the Arborean. The Sovereign’s brow furrowed; was this person disguising his appearance and concealing his cultivation?The man started staring at Lu Yin. While Sovereign Shao Yin knew that he was looking at Xuan Qi because of the images he had seen, he had never heard anyone mention that the young man had hidden his true appearance.
Thinking of this, Sovereign Shao Yin calmly asked, "Brother Wuwei, your quasi-disciple is not weak at all!"
Xu Wuwei looked over and said, "He’s decent, but again, he is not my disciple." free(w)ebnovel.com
Sovereign Shao Yin dropped the matter. Since he was able to see through the disguise, it was impossible for Xu Wuwei to not be able to do the same. The fact that Xu Wuwei had allowed Xuan Qi to behave as he had, and even taught him the Spiral Domain, meant that it was clear that there was no issue with Xuan Qi’s true appearance.
Too many people throughout the megaverse were highly skilled at putting on a show. Sovereign Shao Yin himself had often disguised himself in his youth. How could he have managed to become a Sovereign with inadequate skills and limited determination?
Xuan Qi’s ability to capture spies proved that he had a sharp and calculating mind.
On the central floating island, Lu Yin watched as Mu Ke moved away. The man never looked at Lu Yin from beginning to end, but Lu Yin found it impossible to calm himself.
Could it have been Mu Ke? Could the Arborean have been the one who had attacked Lu Yin with the saber? It seemed quite possible that the man used a saber, but why would he have attacked Xuan Qi?
It seemed obvious that Mu Ke had seen through Lu Yin’s disguise, but why would he not say anything and simply slash a saber at Xuan Qi eighty one times before giving the weapon to Lu Yin?
Had the attacker been kind or antagonistic towards Lu Yin?
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm After Mu Ke disappeared, Lu Yin dismissed the matter from his mind. No matter what, his attacker had never revealed themselves, and Lu Yin was incapable of determining their identity. He could only continue forwards one step at a time.
He looked beyond the floating island, wondering if any of the Lost Clan’s powerhouses had noticed him. If any of them were comparable to Senior Xu Wuwei, they would most likely be able to see through his Mask of Death.
Lu Yin was ignorant to the fact that Sovereign Shao Yin had already seen through the disguise, but had not pursued the matter because of Xu Wuwei's attitude. An even greater coincidence was the fact that the Sovereign had never seen an image of Lu Yin, as he would have immediately recognized the youth otherwise.
All that could be said was that, while Lu Yin had directly offended the entire Sixverse Association and made a fool of Sage Yuan, he had never directly interacted with Sovereign Shao Yin.
People who were capable of recognizing Lu Yin could not also be capable of seeing through his disguise. In other words, Lu Yin needed to keep those capable of seeing through the Mask of Death as people who had never met Lu Yin before.
However, as he continued to rise higher and higher, the day would eventually come when Xuan Qi was recognized as Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was ready to start. He wanted to try to attract a card. After all, it was the entire reason why he was attending the Shangsan Festival.
He did not expect to be able to draw out an Immemorial card, but he hoped to at least attract a Primordial card.lightsnovel
First, he tried using his physical strength. While Lu Yin had many skills, his physical prowess was definitely one of his greatest advantages.
Snack Sage was far away from Lu Yin, and he was already exerting his full strength to attack the void while eating vast amounts of food. No one dared to get close to him, as his raw strength created visible ripples that quickly spread out.
Lu Yin clenched his fists while releasing his strength. He did not release any attack, but the void near him started to tremble, and ripples soon appeared that spread away from him.
Soon, his hands relaxed again. What he was doing now was useless. Was his strength not enough? As for his domain, spiritual force, or other powers, as long as it did not draw the attention of any nearby powerhouses, he could use them to try to attract cards. At least one of his abilities had to be able to draw a card to him.
Unfortunately, Lu Yin was overthinking things. Cards were not Mister Mu, and they would not be attracted by something like talent.
Some people were able to draw cards by flexing their muscles, while others could do the same through terrible singing. However, what they all had in common was that these actions revealed their true selves to the cards.
After several hours of various attempts, Lu Yin had still failed to attract a single card.
By this time, someone else had already attracted a card.
It was a child who looked no more than seven or eight years old. He stared at a card that approached him from the void with big, innocent eyes, clearly feeling a bit lost.
Lu Yin had previously noticed that most of the people who wanted to trade their cards were adults who had decided to attend. It was uncommon to see children.
Lu Yin also had no idea how the child had attracted a card. Had the child even done anything at all?Past all the islands, Shan Zheng smiled. As expected, it had been the right choice to send Xiao Liuzi to the Shangsan Festival. This child was a descendant of Shao Zheng’s family, and he also possessed a unique innate gift. Shan Zheng had felt that it was quite likely for a card to be drawn to the child’s innate gift, and he had just been proven right.
Right after that, someone else drew out a card, though after seeing the new card, the person appeared a bit desperate.
There was no guarantee that trading cards would help a person grow stronger, as it was also possible for them to become weaker. There was no guarantee that a new card would be better than a person’s original card.
Of course, it was also possible to refuse to change cards.
The person who had attracted a card quickly refused to trade their card, though this also disqualified them from trying again.
Each person was only allowed a single chance to attract a card.
Half of the day of the Shangsan Festival was used for the Lost Clan’s celebrations, while the remaining half was reserved for trading cards. This meant that people did not have much time to work with.
Lu Yin tried all sorts of different methods to attract a card, but everything was useless. All he had left by now were abilities that he did not dare to use, such as the Origin Progenitor’s Sutra or the power in his chest, as they would definitely attract the attention of any nearby peak powerhouses who would then focus entirely on Lu Yin.
While the Lost Clan was rather closed off, they were still a member of the Sixverse Association.
He looked up at the sky. Forget it, I won’t bother to try to use my abilities any longer. Wen Sansi, Luo Zang, and a bunch of others are all talking, so why don’t I try that as well? I’ll talk about myself. But where do I start?
Lu Yin sat down and looked up at the sky. He was silent for a long time before he started talking. He controlled his voice that it only expanded to within ten meters of his body, and no sound spread further than that. Whether any card heard him, and whether it would be attracted to Lu Yin was completely outside of his control.
He pulled out his seven-star Hidden Mountain card. "I, Lu Yin, am the young master of the Fifth Mainland’s Lu family. My family was framed and exiled, and I lost all my memories and cultivation, becoming an ordinary human. I started from nothing and recultivated. I entered the Astral Combat Academy, and I was the champion of ZENITH. I fought against the Ten Arbiters, and defeated every last one of them. I united the Outerverse and fought a war against the Astral Beast Domain. I fought against the Sixth Mainland and plotted and schemed against the four ruling powers. I’ve now become the sect master of the Heavens Sect, which I swear will once more act as a beacon for humanity.
"I’ve mastered the Cosmic Palm and relied on the power of the invincible Progenitor Chen’s Star Stomp. I can use the God of Death’s God of Death Transformation. I have received legacies from more than one of the Three Realms Six Dao of the ancient Heavens Sect era, such as the God of Death’s death energy..."
Lu Yin kept talking with all of his words being confined to a space of ten meters around him. However, there was no reaction.
He shared all of his achievements, but it was of no use.
Far away, a card appeared before Luo Zang, thrilling him. He did not actually care about attracting a card, as he instead wanted to earn the Lost Clan’s notice, which was his greater goal for the Shangsan Festival.
He had attended in hopes of establishing contact with the Lost Clan during the Shangsan Festival.
However, when he saw the card that he had attracted, his mood instantly fell.
A one star Seasonal card. Literally the worst type of card that the Lost Clan possessed. Without question, it was the worst.
He stared at the card, speechless. While it looked excited to get into his hands, he had to resist the urge to smash the card apart. In the end, he left the island.
Elsewhere, someone was ecstatic that they had attracted a satisfactory card. This was a scene that would be noted by the Lost Clan.
An hour passed, and Lu Yin was still talking, but there was no response at all. No card was attracted to him.
He felt helpless. "Is it because you don't understand what I’m saying? If that’s the case, then I just need to help you understand."
He then proceeded to recount all the legends he knew about Progenitor Chen, the God of Death, and the other powerhouses from the Origin Universe. Another half an hour passed, but there was still no response.
"Hahahaha, I got it! I got the card! My ideal is right! My ideals were heard!" someone in the distance shouted excitedly.
Lu Yin looked over. Ideal? Life goals? Would that work?
"It seems like you all want to hear people talk about their dreams, so I’ll tell you about mine."
Lu Yin thought for a while. "My goal is to lead the Heavens Sect to stand tall in the megaverse and make it so powerful that no one will dare to cross it.”
"My dream is to lead mankind to defeat Aeternus and eliminate all threats.”
"My dream is to save Ming Yan and live a happy life.”
"My dream is to avenge my Lu family and kill Sovereign Shao Yin."
The moment Lu Yin finished speaking, he saw mysterious lines appear as space warped and a card started to appear and disappear in front of him, changing every moment.
