The fog swirled around Lu Yin’s finger again, and spread over his hand before forming a Cosmic Palm high up in the sky whereupon ninety nine stars burst forth.

In the depths of Eversky Island, a voice called out, “Cosmic Palm? Is this kid from the Cosmic Sect?”

Highsage Shenwei felt lost. “What Cosmic Palm? Master, you saw the Cosmic Palm?”

“Interesting. Too interesting. The Rune Progenitor’s inheritance, the Cosmic Sect’s inheritance, and even a bit of Progenitor Wushang’s battle technique. This kid is too interesting.”

On Eversky Bridge, the fog had formed a Cosmic Palm, but it quickly dissipated as an intense gale blew by. This time, it was Vacuum Palm, which was Lu Yin’s ultimate physical attack. Over the Vacuum Palm, he could see his nine lined battle force.

Right after Vacuum Palm was shown, the fog went black. This was Night Advent, which was a spiritual force attack.

Lu Yin looked up, as this was the first time he had seen his battle techniques from this perspective, and he had to say that it was quite impressive.

The fog continued to spread out, and it swirled over each of his fingers before finally swirling over his index finger to form the Dream Finger, which caused the void to congeal.

From the depths of Eversky Island, the voice called out again. “Is that?”

“Master, what happened?”

“Shut up.”

Right after the Dream Finger appeared, the fog formed two suns that swept through the void before suddenly exploding.

Regarding the Twin Suns, the Master did not show any surprise, as they were nothing more than two suns. If Lu Yin did not personally use the move with his cauldron energy, then this technique would be nothing more than an ordinary attack with condensed star energy.

Up till now, Eversky Island’s Master was most concerned by the Dream Finger. “That sort of void-congealing technique is definitely not simple, and it also carries some trace of the Ku family’s Finger Tap. Could this kid have some connection to the Ku family as well?”

Highsage Shenwei was already very confused from listening to his master.

“Shenwei, who is this child?”

Highsage Shenwei’s expression changed, as his Master’s tone of voice did not seem to be quite right. Shenwei swallowed his saliva as he tried to explain, “Master, he- he belongs to Junior Leon. This disciple doesn’t know anything else.”

“Is that so? This child seems to have some connection with Gods’ Origin, the Cosmic Sect, the Ku family, and even the Astral Beast Domain.”

Highsage Shenwei felt frightened. “Is that so? This disciple didn’t know.”

“Right, you mentioned earlier that others schemed against this child. Who?”

“It was the Daynight clan, but this kid took care of things by himself. He unified the Outerverse, and he also borrowed the strength of Junior Leon’s Armada. He nearly tore Daynight Flowzone apart with their strength, and he killed the Daynight clan’s heir who was the sole person promised an inheritance from the Astral Tower…”

Highsage Shenwei shared everything that he knew about Lu Yin, and since he still felt that something was amiss, he quickly activated his gadget to find the recording of the battle between Lu Yin and Nightking Zhenwu to show to his master.

“Interesting. This child isn't Leon’s?”

“Definitely not,” Highsage Shenwei instantly gave his guarantee.

“A pity.”

“Master, what do you mean?”

“Nothing much. This is quite interesting, as he also has the Yu Secret Art. If I didn’t see wrong, then he also seems to possess the Ce Secret Art as well. You said that he’s a Chosen of the Hall of Honor? Keke, this child’s background is extremely complicated.”

Highsage Shenwei did not dare to reply.

“And now he’s joining our Eversky Island. Keke, this makes things even more interesting, hahaha!”

Highsage Shenwei’s heart trembled, as whenever his master smiled like that, something was wrong. Shenwei’s master definitely wanted to torment somebody, and Shenwei looked at Eversky Bridge in sympathy. Was the kid the target? Or was it Shenwei himself?

On Eversky Bridge, Lu Yin felt strangely cold, and he looked around. He felt as though he had encountered a ghost, but he saw no one around.

He then went back to walking towards the other side of Eversky Bridge.

The fog in the sky continued to roil, and it occasionally turned into palm imprints, rune lines, or even claw marks. Lu Yin also felt that all of the transformations of the fog were somehow intertwined.

“Seventh Bro, you know too much! That’s why this fog is so busy.” The Ghost Monkey was laughing.

Lu Yin agreed, as most people seemed to specialize in something for their cultivation whereas he seemed to know a bit of everything. The truth was that Lu Yin could not be blamed for this, as he had not specifically cultivated his domain. Rather, it had actually improved itself without any assistance from Lu Yin. His physical strength was the same, as was his spiritual force. Even Lu Yin felt that his improvements were bizarre.

The faster Lu Yin walked, the more the fog churned, and when Lu Yin slowed down, the roiling of the fog slowed down as well.

Lu Yin felt that the fog’s behavior was rather strange. Could it be that when he arrived at the end of Eversky Bridge, the fog would fuse his battle techniques together? That would be a little disturbing.

As he thought about this possibility, Lu Yin felt that he would rather not continue on, and he decided to stand where he was. After all, haste could ruin everything.

Two days soon passed.

The fog continued to roil and churn, and Lu Yin tested things out. The faster he moved forward, the more agitated the fog would become.

He waited for another two days.

On one day, the fog in the sky suddenly stopped churning. Soon after, it formed a finger. This finger was wrapped with nine lined battle force that spun towards the back. Then, the towering tree that was Lu Yin’s forcefield suddenly appeared before a black fog enveloped the area and converged upon the finger. The finger trembled, which was due to the power of the Overlaying Stacks Path. At the same time, the runes surrounding the finger started to continuously disappear.

This finger pierced through the void, and then the fog dissipated. The sky around Eversky Bridge seemed to grow clearer, and Lu Yin was now able to see the other end of the bridge.

Lu Yin remained standing in place without moving. Had he just witnessed a fusion of all his battle techniques? That attack had used his domain to suppress his spiritual force before then fusing it with a singular finger attack as Truesight erased the runes of his target. On top of that, the finger was reinforced with the Overlaying Stacks Path and had been released with the power of Finger Tap. This fog had truly merged everything into one move for him.

Lu Yin stood where he was and raised a hand. It was strengthened with his nine lined battle force. He then suddenly released Night Advent, before immediately trying to condense it to the best of his ability with his domain, only to find that Night Advent would not budge. It turned out that it was extremely difficult to compress spiritual force.

He panted heavily as he looked at his finger. Fusing his techniques was not that easily done! However, since the fog had successfully done so, it proved that it was at least possible. Lu Yin muttered under his breath; did he simply need time to practice this? What he was the least afraid of was having enough time.

When he finished crossing Eversky Bridge, Lu Yin looked back at it. It was a mystery how such a strange place actually existed.

A short figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was a girl in a black dress who looked to be around fifteen years old. Her expression was solemn, and she acted like an adult. “Are you the nominal disciple that Senior Shenwei brought back?”

Lu Yin nodded.

The girl calmly appraised Lu Yin. “I’m called Black, your Senior.”

“Senior?” Lu Yin had a strange look.

Black turned around without responding. “Follow me, I’ll take you to meet Master.”

Lu Yin’s eyes lit up. Eversky Island’s master was a truly legendary being. He had established Eversky Island on his own, and even the Hall of Honor was wary of this powerhouse. It was possible that this person had the strength of an Empyrean Imprinter since Highsage Shenwei already had a power level of more than 900,000. Highsage Shenwei had also mentioned that he and Highsage Leon had a Grand Senior who was unafraid of even the Third Nightking. Thus, this Grand Senior’s power level definitely surpassed one million. It would actually be strange for their Master to not possess the strength of an Empyrean Imprinter.

An Empyrean Imprinter was a powerhouse that was exceptionally rare even in the Sixth Mainland.

In the Fifth Mainland, where there were no Progenitors, such a powerhouse would be counted among the apex experts!

Lu Yin followed Black into the depths of Eversky Island, and his gaze suddenly trembled as he glanced to his right. There, he saw a white streak speed by, and had glimpsed enough to see some rune lines, but it was moving so fast that he could not see anything clearly.

“You saw that?” Black paused as she turned around. Her demeanor was very serious.

Lu Yin was puzzled. “That white blur?”

Black nodded. “Every year, there are many who challenge Master, and some die here on Eversky Island. That white blur was one of them.”

Lu Yin blinked. “What do you mean? A ghost?”

Black solemnly asked, “Are you afraid?”

Lu Yin pursed his lips. “I’m still fine.”

Black replied seriously, “There’s no need to be afraid, as they don’t generally come out. You’re a living creature, so just say hello to them.”

She then continued forward.

“Sev- Seventh Bro, are there ghosts here?” the Ghost Monkey shrieked, clearly terrified.

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. Where could a ghost come from? Even if humans died and left remnants of their strength behind, those remnants should be spiritual force. However, it seemed that remnant spiritual force could also be referred to as ghosts. Lu Yin took a more serious look around.

Suddenly, a strange laughter echoed out, the sound of which could scare anyone.

Lu Yin suddenly turned around to look behind him as another white flash sped by. This time, it was moving even faster. Even though Lu Yin had completely unleashed his domain, he still wasn’t able to see what was moving around. Could this blur really just be some remnant spiritual force?

“Uh, Senior Black, does Master know that there are ghosts here?” Lu Yin asked.

Black’s lips curled up. “Master doesn’t care, as they’re all defeated foes. In his eyes, they can help guard the gate.”

Ghosts could even be used for such purposes? This was Lu Yin’s first time hearing of such a thing.

The chilling laughter rang out again, and this time, Lu Yin paused. He turned around as a chessboard appeared beneath him that only he could see. This was the Ce Secret Art, Astral Chessboard. He did not believe that this was a ghost.

The chessboard spread out to cover the land and the sky, and even the trees and flowers became chesspieces. Black was also on top of the chessboard, as was that white blur.

With the chessboard, Lu Yin was able to clearly see the ghost. Wait, what ghost? That streak was a girl! Wait a moment, this girl?

Lu Yin swallowed, and he grew serious once again as he looked back at Black. The two girls were completely identical, which meant that either this white streak really was a ghost or that these two were twins.

The chessboard disappeared from beneath Lu Yin’s feet, and it had only existed for an instant. Black had not noticed anything at all, and the white streak also had not sensed what Lu Yin had done, though she let out another strange laugh before leaving again.

Black had a sneaky look on her face. “There’s no need to be afraid. There aren’t actually too many around, only about a dozen. They won’t hurt people, and they just want to get to know the new people.”

Lu Yin took a few quick steps to reach Black’s side, and he sighed. “Senior, actually, I’m sorry.”

Black was confused. “Sorry? For what?”

Lu Yin hesitated, and he seemed conflicted as though he had been put in a difficult position. “Actually, I kept something from Senior Shenwei, and it’s really important.”

Black’s eyes lit up, and an intense curiosity could be seen in them. “What’s the matter?”

Lu Yin sighed again, and it looked as if he really did not want to say it.

Black started getting anxious. “Hurry up and tell me. What’s the matter?”

Lu Yin gritted his teeth. “I never thought that Eversky Island would have ghosts, but if that’s the case, then I can’t hide this anymore. Actually…” He looked at Black with a completely serious expression that she returned in kind. The two looked at each other for a moment before Lu Yin’s expression suddenly changed as his eyes turned a sinister, bloody-red color. He howled, “I’m the ghost!”

“Ahhh!!!” Black was startled into screaming.

A similar cry echoed out from nearby, coming from the white streak.

Lu Yin laughed.

Black took a few steps back and fell on her butt on the ground, paralyzed. She breathed heavily as she stared at Lu Yin in fear.

Lu Yin chuckled for a moment and then looked off into the distance. “Come on out. You two must be twins. You scared me.”

In the distance, the white blur glared at Lu Yin. She had a delicate face that was identical to Black’s, and the girl gritted her teeth. “You! You’re too much, scaring people.”

Lu Yin’s lips curled. “You two tried to scare me first.”

Black struggled to calm herself down, and she shot a death-glare at Lu Yin as she continued to grind her teeth.
