Lu Xin crossed the Nine Heavens Barrier and instantly felt like he had entered another world.
He saw the Spirit Realm beneath his feet suddenly shrink infinitely, allowing him to see its entirety—a blue planet.
Beside it, there was also a black planet accompanying it.
“Could that be the Small Demon Realm?”
Just as Lu Xin was marveling, he suddenly saw a divine light descend, enveloping him and trying to pull him upwards.
“Is this the guiding divine light?”
Lu Xin was startled and quickly darted out of the divine light’s range.
Fortunately, the divine light didn't stop him; after he left its range, it simply disappeared.
Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
This was a contradiction: to come out, he had to activate his Golden Body, but activating his Golden Body would expose his aura.
So the passive skill 【Stealth】 couldn't work.
Fortunately, he escaped in time.
He wasn't pulled to the Upper Realm.
“But this time, I stood up the guiding divine light, I wonder if it will come to pick me up next time.”
Lu Xin muttered, but before he could think further, he felt a surge of astral winds enveloping him.
“It's coming!”
He quickly and fully activated the 《Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art》 to resist.
Ah~!
The astral winds swept over.
In an instant, it felt like ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, sending a sharp pain through him.
Although he had prepared for it, it still made him scream out in agony.
Under the astral winds, his Golden Body was instantly riddled with holes.
Streams of blood, like molten gold, oozed from the holes, quickly enveloping him, causing him to lose his human form.
Inside the barrier, Hua Nu saw this terrifying scene and was greatly startled; if it weren't for her connection with Lu Xin, she would have thought he was dead.
“Hmph, stinky master, you actually don't trust me.”
Relieved, Hua Nu grabbed the little turtle circling around her and pinched its face hard.
The little turtle bared its teeth in pain.
Soon, Lu Xin outside underwent another change.
As the golden blood continued to ooze out, Lu Xin had now turned into a golden giant egg, pointed at the top and round at the bottom.
It floated in the void, constantly rotating.
And emitted a shimmering golden light.
… …
At the same time, in a certain realm of nothingness, a white-haired old man looked at an empty jade platform, slightly dazed.
“Strange, the forty-seventh guiding platform clearly had fluctuations, but why is there no one? Could the guiding have failed?”
“It must be another reckless fool who couldn't resist his curiosity and fell out of the divine light.”
At this time, a red-clothed boy walked over; despite his childish appearance, he spoke with an old-fashioned air.
“Probably.” The old man didn't mind, casually saying, “Weren't you always clamoring to go down to the Lower Realm for a stroll? Do you want to take this opportunity to go down and find him?”
“That was before.”
The boy decisively shook his head, “You go if you want; the astral winds of the Boundless Sea aren't something ordinary people can withstand, and you'll also have your strength suppressed; it would be a great loss if you died there.”
Then the two left.
… …
On the other side, Lu Xin, who had transformed into a golden egg, entered a wondrous state; he now felt that every cell in his body was constantly breaking down and reforming.
Although this process was extremely painful, his physical body would become stronger with each breakdown and reformation.
So he was in pain and joy at the same time.
In this way, several months passed in the blink of an eye.
This day, Hua Nu, who was listlessly tormenting the little turtle, suddenly saw movement from the golden giant egg outside.
She saw that the giant egg had stopped rotating and was emitting an even more dazzling golden light.
She couldn't help but cover her eyes.
When she took them away again, the golden egg had disappeared, replaced by a towering giant thousands of feet tall.
The giant stood in the void, looking down on the world, as if he could pluck stars and catch the moon at any moment.
The sense of oppression was overwhelming.
“So strong.” Hua Nu exclaimed.
Lu Xin also didn't expect that after breaking through to the ninth revolution of the Golden Body, his body would suddenly become so huge.
Now, the surrounding Nine Heavens Astral Winds could no longer cause him any harm.
This meant that he could roam freely in this void.
“Today, I must take a good stroll and be the first man to explore the moon.”
Lu Xin changed his body back to its normal size, then passed through the Nine Heavens Barrier and came to Hua Nu's side.
“Master.” Hua Nu hurriedly greeted him happily.
“Has anything happened during this time?”
Lu Xin glanced at the listless little turtle.
Hua Nu quickly said, “Nothing happened; it's just that this little turtle was a bit too playful; look, it's so tired.”
The little turtle raised its claws in silent protest.
Lu Xin chuckled, put away the Black Tortoise Divine Axe, then put away the Lady Painting and said, “I'm going to go take a look at that star; come in quickly.”
Hua Nu glanced in the direction he was pointing and coquettishly said, “Master, I want to see too.”
Lu Xin thought for a moment, “Seeing that you've done a good job of keeping my items safe during this time, I'll agree to you; come in first, and I'll let you out after we get out.”
“Yes.” Hua Nu quickly slipped into the Lady Painting.
Lu Xin then darted out again, not acting rashly, wanting to see if there would be any more guiding divine light to pick him up.
He wasn't disappointed; after a few breaths, a divine light fell again, enveloping him.
He quickly darted out again.
“It seems that as long as I come out once, the guiding divine light will appear once.”
Lu Xin looked at the disappearing divine light, pondering to himself, then, to confirm, he experimented a few more times.
The divine light was extremely dedicated, appearing every time.
“Not good, I don't know if this guiding divine light is controlled by someone; if I play with it like this, won't I anger some terrifying existence?”
This thought suddenly popped into his mind, and Lu Xin didn't dare to be the first man to explore the moon anymore; he quickly slipped into the barrier and made himself scarce.
As he expected, at this time, in that realm of nothingness, the old man angrily said:
“Damn it, what's wrong with this forty-seventh guiding platform? It keeps sending fluctuations, but no one can be guided up!”
The boy next to him frowned and said:
“Logically speaking, one guiding platform corresponds to one Lower Realm; this forty-seventh guiding platform has vibrated five times in a short period, including the previous time, it's six times.
That is to say, in this one Lower Realm, six people have actually passed the Third Tribulation and become Human Immortals in a short period of time.”
“That's absolutely impossible!”
The old man firmly said, “I've been guiding for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, and no Lower Realm has ever had this kind of situation.”
The boy said, “Could it be that someone in this Lower Realm has obtained some Immortal Artifact that can break through the barrier at will?”
The old man shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, “Gather everyone and work together to activate the Realm Inspection Treasure Mirror to see; if there really is a situation of concentrated breakthroughs, but the guiding fails, then this guiding platform is broken.”
“If we don't solve this problem sooner, this forty-seventh Lower Realm will be a waste realm.”
“I'll go gather them.”
The boy didn't dare to delay.
… …
Lu Xin naturally didn't know that his actions would cause such a big commotion.
Anyway, he didn't dare to dart out of the Nine Heavens Barrier again in a short time.
Now, he was driving the Wind Riding Boat, heading all the way towards the direction of the Seven Luminaries Sect.
For some reason, the smile of Ji Yue suddenly popped into his mind; it had been a long time since he last saw her, and he missed her very much.
So he sped up and hurried on his way with all his might.
… …
At this time, not far outside the mountain gate of the Seven Luminaries Sect, a rather disheveled woman in a white dress suddenly appeared, “Is the Seven Luminaries Sect ahead?”
She looked ahead, then looked behind, and seeing that no one was chasing her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Not daring to linger, she quickly headed towards the tall mountain gate.
“Who goes there? State your identity.”
Suddenly, several mountain-guarding disciples emerged, vigilantly staring at the woman in front of them.
Judging by the situation, she seemed to be being hunted down.
The woman revealed a Nascent Soul aura and quickly said, “I am your Grand Ancestral Master's Master; quickly report to her, I have important matters to discuss with her.”
“Grand Ancestral Master?”
Several mountain-guarding disciples looked at each other, not daring to be negligent; a captain clasped his hands and said, “Senior, please wait a moment; I will report this immediately.”
Of course, he didn't dare to let a strange powerhouse in casually; leaving these words behind, he hurried towards the gate.
Not to伏魔峰, but to the宗主大殿.
