Star Odyssey

n half of its body, while the statue he saw at this moment was whole.

Lu Yin approached one step at a time, worried that the statue or the praying figures might turn to dust if he disturbed them too much.

The closer he moved, the more indistinct the statues details.
Lu Yin felt as though there was a veil concealing the statues features, and he no longer felt like he was looking at a face, but rather at a rune.feo.c

Lu Yin glanced around at the kneeling statues that were in positions of prayer.
Who had carved so many peculiar statues in this place? What had happened to everyone who had visited this abandoned town before Lu Yin?

He looked down at his feet.
There were other tracks on the ground, which showed that other people had visited this town, but all of the prints simply ended in the plaza with the statue.

Had the people disappeared? Lu Yin ’s heart dropped.
Was this place dangerous? He remembered what he had seen in the tea hills, and he immediately turned to leave.
It would be better to let someone else explore this place first.

However, he was already too late.
Lu Yin had never noticed that the statue that all of the figures were praying to was not actually a statue.
Rather, it was a wandering corpse that was covered with some kind of shell that made it look like a statue.

The moment that Lu Yin turned away, the wandering corpse made its move.
It instantly appeared in front of Lu Yin without him sensing anything, and he could only watch on in horror as it reached out a hand to grab him.

His pupils shrank to pinpricks, and Lu Yin instantly took out the blood-red bell.
He would never hesitate to use his most powerful means against a wandering corpse this powerful.

Unfortunately, he never even had the chance to ring the bell before the wandering corpse grabbed his shoulder.
The world spun, and when Lu Yin could see clearly again, he could no longer move his body.

His eyes spun about, and he tried to move, but it was impossible.
He looked forward and saw kneeling statues around him.
Based on his own position, Lu Yin finally understood.
None of these figures were statues, but were rather all people who had visited the abandoned town before him.

It was no wonder why the footprints just stopped in this plazaeveryone who entered this place had been turned into a statue.
They were doomed to eternally worship the statue of what might have been the Rune Progenitor himself.

As for the blood-red bell, it had fallen to the ground where Lu Yin had been grabbed.

This place was no different from the tea hills! One wandering corpse planted people like tea bushes while this one forced people to become statues that worshiped another statue.

Lu Yin had managed to escape from the first one, but he had not been as lucky the second time around.

He tried to move around, but it was completely impossible.

His pupils transformed into runes, and he observed the entire area.
The stone shell covering the wandering corpse that made it look like a statue was actually formed from runes, and when Lu Yin tried to erase a portion of the runes, he failed.
It was clear that the wandering corpse had been a master of Truesight.

Suddenly, a jolt shot through Lu Yin ’s brain, his eyes became confused as he stared at the statue being worshiped by all of the kneeling figures.
The face suddenly turned clear, and Lu Yin saw a strange sight as the number of runes started surging.
He was looking at the next level of Truesight: Knowing.

A few people that participated in ZENITH had managed to reach the Knowing level of Truesight, but Lu Yin had no clue how he could reach that level of comprehension.

Truesight was not a cultivation art that required a person to comprehend it on their own like other techniques, but was rather a complete technology that had been used to found an entire civilization by the Rune Progenitor himself.
He had been a Progenitor who was erased from history.
No one was able to master Truesight on their own, and the only way to advance was to find an inheritance.

At this moment, Lu Yin was finally able to catch a glimpse of the Knowing realm of Truesight.
Did he need to master that level before he could leave this place?

What about the other people who had been captured by the wandering corpse? Was it only possible for those who had trained in Truesight to leave this place?

Lu Yin took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He already knew how to train, so he would simply do so where he was.

Half a month quickly passed, and a new statue appeared next to Lu Yin.
It was another person who had stumbled upon the abandoned town and been turned into a statue by the wandering corpse.

Training in Truesight was not unfamiliar to Lu Yin, and its difficulty lay in how challenging its profound depths were to comprehend.
Once that was done, the cultivation itself was not too difficult.

It seemed possible that this was the main reason why the Rune Progenitor had been able to stand up against the Sixth Mainland by relying only on the members of the civilization that he had established.
Just how many powerhouses had risen up within that civilization? Lu Yin could not even imagine it.

The Sixth Mainland had refused to keep any records of Progenitor Chen because Progenitor Chen had been an invincible powerhouse even amongst Progenitors.
As for the Rune Progenitor, the Sixth Mainland had simply refused to admit that the powerhouse even existed.
From this, it seemed quite likely that the Rune Progenitor had posed an even greater threat to the Sixth Mainland than Progenitor Chen.

Soon, another half a month passed.
Lu Yin had been practicing here for a month, and his experience in the Knowing realm was steadily increasing.
Since Jin He and God Taiyi could reach this realm, he could too.

Two more statues were added beside him.

Ten days passed and then another ten days passed.

On this day, a man came and slowly approached the statue.

Lu Yin was able to move his eyes, and his position allowed him to see where he had entered the plaza, the blood-red bell lying on the ground, as well as a bit further beyond.

He was startled when he saw who had entered the plaza.
Was it really him?

This man was Mr.
Lifeview, one of the Sixth Mainland ’s Four Empyreans.
He was the master of the Sage Martial Realm ’s Higher Temple, as well as also Xiao Qings master.

Lu Yin was shocked that such a powerhouse had actually entered Burial Garden.
Something truly amazing must have been found if even the Four Empyreans were willing to enter.

Mr.
Lifeview saw the central statue, as well as the various kneeling figures, and he immediately stopped moving.

Lu Yin ’s eyes flickered.
He could not decide if he actually wanted Mr.
Lifeview to enter the plaza or not.
He had no idea how strong the wandering corpse pretending to be a statue actually was, and while the various people would most likely be saved if Mr.
Lifeview was stronger than the wandering corpse, that would not necessarily work out in Lu Yin ’s favor.
