Star Odyssey

ly troublesome if Liu Huang refused to cooperate and exposed the reason for his disappearance, as it would ruin the Hall of Honor’s reputation.

Regardless of how the Hall of Honor had treated the Sword Sect, such actions did not matter so long as they remained good to Lu Yin.
The Hall of Honor, Yuan Shi, the Chief Justice, Arch-Elder Zen… all of them formed Lu Yin’s powerful support system that upheld him.

He had even become able to influence the nine overseers.

He decided to give up on sword techniques and instead cultivate the Cosmic Art.
This was his trump card.

About half a year later, his time in the space expired, and Lu Yin left the Timestop Space.

He had managed to simulate a total of 5,100 stars during this time cultivating the Cosmic Art.
That was nearly a thousand stars more than when he had left the Cosmic Sect.
This was the result from his cultivation of the fifth layer of the Cosmic Art.

The Cosmic Art’s fifth layer could allow a person to simulate 99,000 stars, which was an impressive number.
Even Lu Yin was uncertain that he could accomplish such a feat with his current cultivation.

It was possible that he would finally be able to use the pattern on the bottom of his foot after he succeeded in cultivating the fifth layer of the cultivation art, though it was also possible that the fifth layer would prove to still be insufficient and that he would need to master the sixth layer.

He continued to roll the die, and he next rolled a single pip.
A rather useless weapon dropped out that he instantly crushed.
He continued rolling the die.
This was his fourth roll, and he would need to pause from rolling it for ten days after this last roll.

Lu Yin’s luck proved to be good for his final roll, as it was three pips.
Unfortunately, there was nothing that he needed to Enhance, so the roll was actually useless at this time.

Lu Yin rested for ten days while also checking out the situation of the war in Blazing Mist Flowzone.

The conflict in the flowzone had only gotten more heated.
The sylvan dragons and the Ross Empire had both started to hire outside powerhouses, and an increased number of unknown individuals had started to enter Fennel Flowzone.
It was clear that the eight great flowzones had started to interfere.

Lu Yin became curious as to whether or not the Hall of Honor would intervene from the dark.
He imagined if they might capture Emperor Luo or the sylvan dragons’ Long Yi and throw them into Gaia’s Swamp as they had done with Liu Huang.
That would be a truly miserable fate.

With the assistance of more outside experts, Wang Wen was hoping to see Blazing Mist Flowzone turn into a blackhole of war that would pull in even major powers like the Sword Sect and the Wen family.
If this succeeded, it would greatly benefit the Great Eastern Alliance.
Things would be even better if Wang Wen could get the Sixth Mainland and the Neohuman Alliance involved as well.

Following these thoughts, Lu Yin sent Wang Wen a message, reminding him about the Sixth Mainland and Neohuman Alliance.

The necessary ten days passed quickly, and Lu Yin then rolled his die again.
He was unable to determine if his luck was good or bad, as he ended up rolling six pips, again.

His last Possession had only exhausted millions of star essence, as Gaia’s Swamp was not too far away.
He hoped this Possession would be somewhere rather close as well.

He returned to that strange space once more, and he quickly merged with the closest and brightest of the orbs of light.
He felt a sense of familiarity as he completed the Possession, and he realized that it was the sensation of Possessing a corpse king.

A corpse king was cold, and their thoughts were rigid.
Not a hint of emotion could be sensed anywhere.
This coldness and lack of emotion was enough to freeze Lu Yin’s thoughts.

He knew he had Possessed a corpse king the moment the Possession was completed.

A vast and desolate scene was revealed to him when he opened his eyes.
He stood on a desolate planet.
Everything around him was black, and the only glimmer of light came from the movement from a distant star, but it was incredibly faint.

There were not many memories in this corpse king’s mind, and almost all of the memories were of slaughter.
These memories made Lu Yin uncomfortable, and he wanted to quickly end this Possession, but suddenly the image of Han Chong appeared within the memories.

Han Chong had been killed by this corpse king, and at the moment, this corpse king was in Erudite Flowzone not far from the Lost Radiance Academy.

Recently, Wen Sansi had told Lu Yin that Han Chong had died.
Lu Yin had not expected that he would so coincidentally Possess the body of the corpse king that had killed Han Chong.

Wen Sansi had not been certain who or what had killed Han Chong and the others, and it had only been a vague guess that the Neohuman Alliance might have been behind the deaths.
However, Lu Yin had just confirmed the killer.

As for why this corpse king had killed Han Chong, it was because of the Mountain Seas Painting.

Han Chong had once been heralded as the Art Saint during his time in the Astral Combat Academy.
At that time, his primary batte technique had been painting.
He had once been the student leader of Astral-2 and had painted during the Astral Combat Tournament.

Lu Yin had already been curious when he had first seen the painting technique, but had not put much thought into it.
He would never have thought that Han Chong’s death would actually be instigated by his own painting of mountains and seas.

This corpse king had remained focused on Han Chong for years; killing the young man had not been a sudden decision.
The corpse king had paid close attention to Han Chong even before the Outerverse had been isolated from the Innerverse, it just had never made a move.
All it had done the entire time was observe Han Chong’s every move in an attempt to understand the painting that he had created.

The corpse king itself was actually uncertain of the reason for its task, but it had been an order from the Neohuman Alliance.

As for why the corpse king had ultimately killed Han Chong, that was because its unfruitful observations had prompted the creature to capture the young man and interrogate him.
Despite the torture, Han Chong remained silent until the end.
Or, more accurately, even Han Chong himself had been unaware that the painting he had made was something that came from the Lost Radiance Academy.

At this moment, the corpse king has moved on to observing the Lost Radiance Academy.

Lu Yin quickly ended the Possession, confused.

Why would the Neohuman Alliance be interested in Han Chong’s painting? Lu Yin lost himself in his own memories as he thought back to the Astral Combat Tournament.
At the time, it had been the most intense tournament ever, but later, Han Chong had also participated in the Tournament of the Strongest.

During the Tournament of the Strongest, Han Chong had ended up defeated by Yun, but everything had seemed normal at the time.

However, things were bound to be complicated since he had been targeted by the Neohuman Alliance.

The Lost Radiance Academy, the Mountain Seas Painting… It looked like Lu Yin would need to visit Erudite Flowzone, and maybe he would finally be able to come up with a price to give to the Wen family.
