Chapter 246: Shenwu Continen (2/2)

After moving on from the heartache of consuming so much star essence, Lu Yin immediately searched the universal network for any information regarding the Shenwu Continent.

He discovered that it was a continent that floated in an alternate dimension near the Darkmist Weave. It wasn’t a planet but rather a continent that drifted through space with planets orbiting around it. A millennium ago, a powerful being had been born on the Shenwu Continent who tore through the alternate dimension with astounding strength. His actions had exposed the continent to the universe and thus triggered a long war.

There were countless organizations in the Darkmist Weave that tried to take over the continent, but they had all failed and suffered massive casualties in the process. They had been left with no choice but to seek help from the Innerverse.

There wasn’t much information online about the battles between the various organizations of the Darkmist Weave and the Shenwu Continent, which meant that some powerful organizations must have buried things. However, the powerful being who had maneuvered the five planets to reseal the alternate space had appeared again at a later time, which brought the Shenwu Continent peace once again. Though it seemed that this being had died in the process.

Even after all these years, some organizations in the Darkmist Weave and the Innerverse still wanted to get their hands on Shenwu Continent and were still attempting to do so. However, they had been stopped by the Ten Arbiters, and thus, the continent had become one of the Outerverse’s examination trial zones.

Lu Yin raised his head from the screen. He never expected that the Shenwu Continent would have such a storied history. The foreign civilizations in Wu Xia’s memories must have been the Darkmist Weave’s organizations. For a mere continent to contend against the powerful organizations from the Darkmist Weave and the Innerverse was an amazing feat.

Needless to say, the Shenwu Continent was one of the most difficult exam trial zones in the Outerverse. There were only two ways to pass the exam: one was to find out where that powerful being’s bones were kept, and the other was to find the node of the five planets seal and destroy it. Destroying the node would reopen the continent to the rest of the universe.

This examination had been conducted multiple times already, but no one had succeeded so far. Those who had gone through this exam all had a surprisingly similar evaluation of the Shenwu Continent; the martial power that the continent’s locals trained in was more powerful than the star energy that was commonly cultivated throughout the universe.

After reading so much, Lu Yin turned his gadget off and blinked. He actually knew where the node was located, for Wu Xia had unwittingly seen it. And after assimilating Wu Xia’s memories, Lu Yin now knew about it as well. It was quite surprising that it was located where it was. It would be a wonder if any of the examinees had actually discovered where it was.

The mortality rate of the examinees who participated in the trials at the Shenwu Continent was rather high. Many did not understand why, but Lu Yin now knew that the martial power that the continent’s cultivators trained in was denser than star energy and easily distinguishable.

Ever since some examinees had been captured and interrogated, the Shenwu Continent had gained a certain level of understanding of the greater universe. They had even formed departments that were dedicated to finding invaders and foreign weapons.

“If I sell the information regarding the node’s location, I’ll definitely get quite a lot of money,” Lu Yin muttered to himself, but then he chuckled bitterly. Sell it? That was impossible. First, there was the question of who he could sell it to, but the moment he did so, the five planets of the continent would be doomed to destruction, and the continent would suffer an incomparable bloodbath. Lu Yin had no desire to become such a sinner. While he did not especially care about morality since the universe was a dog-eat-dog world, he still needed to weigh the pros and cons behind his actions.

The Darkmist Weave wasn’t too far away from Frostwave Weave. Lu Yin’s eyes gleamed as he recalled something interesting.

Lu Yin reset the die and rolled it again.

He rolled a one this time, and a basic firearm fell out. It was useless, so he threw it away without a second thought. He rolled the die again and ended up with two pips. Lu Yin was left speechless because he didn’t have anything he needed to disassemble either. He tried again.

When the die stopped spinning this time, four pips appeared before his eyes: Time Stop.

As he watched the familiar greyish white space appear around him, Lu Yin used a few star crystals to change the environment as well as increase the time limit to a month. Now that he had money, he was free to do as he wished.

In this one month, he was planning to go review all of his battle techniques and become a Limiteer. He’d been a Melder for quite awhile now, and his breakthrough was long overdue.

At this time, there was a warship that had stopped outside a gigantic planet within the Frostwave Weave.

Countless cries could be heard from the planet. With a roar that echoed into space, a man tore through the void and glared at the spacecraft. “Do you seriously want this war to affect the entirety of Frostwave Weave, Duke Yushan? The various organizations in Frostwave Weave won’t let you off easily!”

The spacecraft responded by firing a weapon. Batson used a finger to flick at his cap and blew at the smoking muzzle while a bloody hole appeared in the middle of the enraged man’s chest. An Explorer had been killed with a single shot.

As the former seventh captain of the Great Yu Empire’s Imperial Squadron, Batson had the strength of a Cruiser and a power level of at least 60,000. He was not someone who an Explorer could match up to.

Duke Yushan stood on the balcony and looked into space. “There’re so many beautiful planets here. They should have all belonged to my Great Yu Empire, but unfortunately, we were suppressed by those people from the Innerverse for so many years.”

Batson smirked. “The Frostwave Weave doesn’t have many people who have reached the Cruiser realm. There are even fewer who are as powerful as us. With your current strength, it’s certainly possible for us to conquer the Frostwave Weave.”

Duke Yushan smiled. “Father has set his sights not on Frostwave Weave, but rather on the Innerverse itself. Taking over just the Frostwave Weave isn’t that difficult. Those bastards from the Innerverse are on the verge of being expelled, and I’m guessing that Father might already have some plan in store for them. Where do you think he’ll aim? The Grandtop Weave? The Larso Weave? Or… us?”

“None of those. He’s aiming for Firesmelt Planet,” the former captain of the eighth imperial squadron, Shalosh, interrupted as he walked over from nearby.

“Firesmelt Planet?” Duke Yushan was confused by his answer.

Shalosh nodded. “While it’s just a planet, it’s managed to raise geniuses like Yan Feng, who entered the Outerverse Youth Council. The leader of the planet, Yan Wujiu, is a Hunter and is one of the few powerhouses in the Frostwave Weave who can hold his ground against His Majesty, Undying Yushan. If he’s not taken care of, then His Majesty won’t be able to focus on taking over any of the other weaves.”
