Star Odyssey

d not sought out Wang Wen of his own accord, Wang Wen would still have found a way to move over. 

Some people were simply not suited to remain nested in just one place for their entire lives.
Ironblood Weave had merely been a place for Wang Wen to cultivate, though he had not cultivated his power level, but rather his brain. 

Wang Wen also gave Lu Yin another suggestion: contact Endless Borders.
Although the company did not seem very prominent, they had simply grasped too many secret routes.
Any one of these routes was invaluable, and more importantly, this group understood the Astral Wilderness very well. 

Humans were often embroiled in internal conflict, but the truth was that the universe was endlessly vast.
Nobody knew exactly what was in the Astral Wilderness, and an unknown civilization that was capable of vanquishing the entire human race might appear at any time. 

Wang Wen cared about this detail the most, as the unknown was often the most frightening thing. 

In the darkness of outer space, there was a spacecraft speeding towards the west.
It was Lu Yin’s vessel and behind him sat Wang Wen’s gift, which was actually a person named Alan.
He had been stationed on Endless Weave’s border in the Dark Phoenix Lavazone. 

Alan was a Melder, and he was just like Lu Yin.
He had been taken off of a trial planet by cultivators before stepping foot onto the path of cultivation.

Unfortunately, his luck was a bit worse than Lu Yin’s, as the people who had taken him from his home planet had immediately thrown him to the border warfront.
If not for his good luck, he would have died a long time ago.
Of course, he also had his own abilities, which was an innate gift that allowed him to hear the strength of those around him.
Although it was not of much use at his current power level, it still allowed him to avoid disasters. 

He had been sent to Zenyu Star by the Hall of Honor a few months ago because he had discovered a secret. 

“You can listen to the heartbeats of those around you and determine who’s strong or weak?” Lu Yin asked quietly. 

Alan carefully replied, “Yes.”

Lu Yin looked at him curiously.
“How does my heartbeat sound?”

Alan was scared stiff, and he bowed deeply.
“Your heartbeat is very rare among those that I’ve heard, and only those almighty powerhouses can compare to you.”

“And compared to the person who brought you away?” Lu Yin was asking about Goldric Phoenix, as he had been the one to bring Alan away from the border.

Alan quickly replied, “You’re much stronger than him.” 

Lu Yin withdrew his gaze.
He did not actually care about whether or not Alan was stating the truth because the man’s secret was his most valuable aspect. 

This was Lu Yin’s second trip to Millions City. 

The first difference from his first visit was that, this time, Lu Yin entered without any obstructions.
This was the treatment that was reserved only for almighty powerhouses such as Enlighters.
 

When he entered Millions City this time, Lu Yin suddenly realized something.
Millions City usually required people to have a tattoo on their wrists that differentiated between people’s status based on their wealth. 

This was a very ordinary authentication method, and Lu Yin had assumed that it was done just to facilitate business transactions for those in Millions City.
However, after the battle in Millions City, he had realized that those tattoos might not be as simple as he had initially assumed.
It was possible that they were like the Skyblaze Dojo’s altar’s mark, where only those who had received a burning seal on the backs of their hands would be brought away when the altar was activated while the rest would be completely ignored. 

The tattoo that the people arriving at Millions City received was likely the same thing.
The city likely had a function that allowed it to take away those who had received the tattoo while also allowing the city to track certain people through their tattoos and then carry out a precision attack. 

Millions City itself was a mobile fortress, and everyone who entered received a tattoo, which was the equivalent of having a target above their heads.
Whoever moved would die. 

Unless the person was like that corpse king from the Neohuman Alliance who had slipped in, no one would be able to avoid their tracking. 

As he thought about it, Lu Yin raised his wrist and entered Millions City, watching as the tattoo automatically appeared.
There was no need for him to receive it a second time.
If he ever waged war against Millions City, then even if he was on the distant Zenyu Star, he might be able to be targeted through this tattoo. 

Lu Yin’s eyes flashed, and a burning sensation suddenly appeared around his wrist as the skin in that area was quickly cauterized, causing the seal to soon vanish. 

He did not want to be targeted by Millions City. 

When Lu Yin arrived in Millions City this time, he attracted a great deal of attention.
His status was very different compared to when he had last visited, as this time, his influence had already spread to the weaves in the central area of the Outerverse, and not even the western weaves dared to look down upon him any longer. 

City Master Qiong Shanhai even personally welcomed Lu Yin.

“Alliance Leader Lu, our Millions City is honored by your presence.” Qiong Shanhai was very cordial. 

Lu Yin smiled.
“City Master Qiong is too courteous.
I’m just here to see a friend, but I’ve troubled the city master to come out and welcome me.
Please forgive me.”

“Haha, Alliance Leader Lu is no ordinary person, and this is something I should do.” Qiong Shanhai smiled as he led Lu Yin along. 

“I wonder, which friend Alliance Leader Lu is visiting? I may be able to lead you there,” Qiong Shanhai asked as he looked over at Lu Yin. 

Lu Yin ’s lips curled upwards.
“There’s no hurry.
Last time, I left the city master’s home in a rush, so I never was able to enjoy a tour.
I wonder, could City Master Qiong welcome me into your home again?” 

Qiong Shanhai’s expression changed, but only for an instance.
He quickly smiled once again.
“Of course.
Xi ’er has missed Alliance Leader Lu very much.
Please.” 

“Please.” Lu Yin gave a faint smile as he followed Qiong Shanhai.

…

In a corner of Millions City, within the Wei family’s estate, the atmosphere had become very tense, and everyone looked desperate.

Lu Yin had clearly arrived to take care of their Wei family’s leader, and although they hated it, they were also very afraid. 

At this moment, they merely hoped that Lu Yin would not remember them while also hoping that Millions City would protect them. 

…

In the Zhu family’s estate, Zhu Jie stared at the sky, while wondering why Lu Yin would come at this time.
Zhu Jie was aware that Wei Rong was hiding in the city master’s home.
However, would Lu Yin be brazen enough to demand that Wei Rong be turned over to him? If he did, then Qiong Shanhai definitely would not agree for the sake of Millions City’s reputation, and it was even possible that a war might break out. 

“Father, I’ll head over for a look,” Zhu San said.

Zhu Jiehe thought about it and then nodded.
“Act the same as you did before.”

“I understand.”
