Chapter 66: Zishan King (2/2)
Lu Yin didn't leave his room for two days, focusing purely on recovering while studying the star charts. The fourth star of the Cosmic Palm was twice as powerful as the third, so he couldn't wait for the fifth to appear. If he had been able to use the five-star Palm, he wouldn't have needed a Melder's help to crush Qingyu. It was too bad that the Cosmic Art that he had retrieved was merely the elementary volume. With this, he would only be able to simulate a maximum of eight stars. He also feared that after becoming a Melder, the Cosmic Art's benefits might fade away. Its overwhelming might would dissipate in the face of geniuses with other powerful battle techniques.
”Do you study those charts every day because of some battle technique?” A sweet voice sounded from behind Lu Yin, quickly followed by a pleasant fragrance. He was startled and quickly turned around to see a beautiful woman with an air of purity, white hair hanging down to the ankles with a bun near the forehead. She was staring at him with interest.
”Who are you?” he asked cautiously, his instincts screaming that he was no match for this woman. She had gotten far too close to him without making a single sound; even the Cosmic Art hadn't reacted! This was a powerhouse.
”My name is Mira,” the white-haired girl said with a smile, what seemed like a trace of red in her focused eyes.
Mira? Lu Yin quickly remembered Sigmund's words of caution regarding this woman. ”Do you need anything from me?”
She laughed and walked past him with her hair drifting behind her, gracefully sitting down and crossing her right leg over the left. The round toes of her bare feet wiggled around, showing off her bright red nail polish as she looked straight at him and asked, ”Can you tell me why you look at star charts every day?”
Lu Yin looked at her seriously, ”I lost my memories, so I'm searching for the way home.”
Mira played with the hair curled in her right hand, ”Do you know who I am?”
Lu Yin shook his head.
Mila said, ”I'm from the Innerverse, and am part of the Universe Youth Council.”
Lu Yin's eyes widened. The Universe Youth Council was a terrifying organization that could theoretically try any youth in the entire universe. It had its own army and subsidiaries everywhere; the Great Yu Empire's Youth Council was one such subordinate organization.
”I was the one to disband your Great Yu Empire's Youth Council. Do you understand now?” Mira continued.
Lu Yin took a deep breath, ”What does this have to do with me?”
Mira got up and slowly strolled over to Lu Yin, lifting his chin with her index that carried the same intoxicating scent, ”I admire your abilities, so I can recommend you to the Outerverse Youth Council. My only condition is that you join Astral-10 and gain some accomplishments.”
Lu Yin stared straight into her eyes, the bit of red more obvious now. This woman heated his body and was extremely tempting, but there was both a visual and instinctive feeling of danger to her that chilled him, ”Why me?”
Mira's lips curled into a sensual smile, her captivating eyes threatening to drown him within their gaze, ”Your innate gift is quite unique. May I know how it works?”
Lu Yin retreated a few steps, ”All this just because of my innate gift?”
Mira retracted her hand, ”The Ten Arbiters decreed that any cultivator with an innate gift can enter the Outerverse Youth Council. However, the Outerverse Youth Council oversees too vast a territory, including the Great Yu Empire's Youth Council. Most cultivators with innate gifts typically only join local councils, but exceptional ones can join the higher body. Where do you think you belong?”
Lu Yin hadn't even considered the possibility of joining the Youth Council by revealing his innate gift. His miraculous die was something that should remain a secret, not because it was too weak, but because it was too powerful. The die had six faces, and every one of them had a shocking ability. He didn't want to reveal it at all if possible, but it had been found out during his battle with Qingyu. Although Sigmund had not mentioned it, he definitely had his own thoughts. This woman was merely the first to ask about it.
