Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 693 - 368: Entering the Shattered World_2
Lu Yu didn't even glance at Zhou Hong, and headed toward the direction where the Divine Weapon Pavilion disciples were located.
Seeing the three people standing at the forefront, Lu Yu was slightly surprised, not expecting to meet acquaintances.
Ling Long cast a glance at Lu Yu and then looked away, somewhat unwilling to acknowledge him. Previously, they invited Lu Yu to participate in a council meeting, but Lu Yu didn't attend, leaving her with some resentment.
Owen didn't mind much. Seeing Lu Yu approaching, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Lu, it's been a year since we last met, and you've become the Saint Heir Lord."
Long Jie snorted, signaling a greeting.
"Greetings to the Saint Heir!" The disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion behind the three shouted in unison as they paid their respects.
Lu Yu nodded at them and stood to the side.
The status of Owen, Long Jie, and Ling Long is somewhat special; in a sense, they are candidates for the Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. However, Lu Yu unexpectedly emerged as a dark horse and seized the Saint Heir position.
Their attitude towards Lu Yu also varies, unlike the usual behavior of ordinary Divine Weapon Pavilion disciples and elders upon seeing the Saint Heir.
One could say, they have seen too many Saint Heirs, their relationship is too good, and it's become a habit.
Owen's father was the eighty-seventh generation Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Long Jie's grandfather was the sixty-ninth generation Saint Heir, and Ling Long's mother was the eighty-fifth generation Saintess. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
It can be said that the Saint Heirs of recent years have a sibling relationship with them.
It's not the widespread brotherly relationship between ordinary disciples and Saint Heirs in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, but a true sibling relationship under the same teacher.
Rumble~ A sound of thunder reverberated in the sky as the chariot drawn by a lightning dragon descended, the royal family's carriage.
Only members of the royal family could fly into the territory of the Celestial Secret Pavilion.
Several figures disembarked from the chariot, appearing somewhat youthful—they were royal family members still in their adolescence.
After the royal family arrived, the Pavilion Master and Vice Pavilion Master of the Celestial Secret Pavilion walked out, and the building resembling an armillary sphere at the center of the square began to rotate.
The Celestial Secret Pavilion Master appeared very old, with white hair and beard, yet his eyes had a divine light, full of spirit.
"The entrance to the Temporal Secret Realm is about to open, everyone make ready," the Pavilion Master said, his voice not loud but precisely transmitted to everyone present.
The tracks around the sphere floating mid-air quickly spun, soon becoming vertical to the ground, and the sphere in the middle slowly opened, revealing a deep blue space vortex.
Just from a glance, Lu Yu felt his mind was about to be consumed by the vortex.
This wasn't an ordinary space vortex; compared to the vortex of a teleportation array, this space vortex was like the difference between a vortex in a vegetable sink and a great ocean whirlpool.
The royal family arrived last but entered first.
They walked ahead, their youthful faces showing a resolute expression, striding steadily toward the space vortex.
As they were about to enter the space vortex, the tracks at the edge of the vortex shot out a ray of blue light, enveloping everyone it touched in a layer of spatial shield.
With a flash of blue light, the Prince, who initially felt unsteady at the vortex entrance and as if about to be sucked in, steadied his steps and walked steadily into the space vortex, disappearing from everyone's sight.
After waiting for a while, then the second group began to enter the space vortex.
Lu Yu also understood that the device on the square of the Celestial Secret Pavilion could stabilize spatial forces and create a safe spatial shield for the traversers, protecting them from the harm of spatial forces.
The people of the Zhou royal house entered the space vortex ahead of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, with Zhou Hong leading, followed by several crown princes of the Zhou royal house and then Zhou Hong's summoned assistants.
Not long after Zhou Hong entered, it was the turn of the people from the Chu royal house, with Chu Tiange in the midst. He signaled to Lu Yu and shouted to him: "Remember to find me."
After saying this, he plunged headfirst into the space vortex.
Ling Long looked at Lu Yu in surprise, not expecting him to be so familiar with the Chu royal house people. If they weren't very close, how could they speak to Lu Yu so loudly in such a setting?
Lu Yu had a wry smile on his face.
When all the royal house people were gone, it was the turn of the Divine Weapon Pavilion people, their relationship with the royal family not as close as that of the royal house.
After all, the royal house branched from the royal family's bloodline.
Owen looked at Lu Yu and said, "Saint Heir Lord, please go ahead."
Lu Yu glanced at him, nodded, and moved toward the space vortex, with the three following behind him.
Although the three did not pay respects to Lu Yu, in such a public setting, they understood the importance of precedence.
Bzz~ A blue light swept across Lu Yu's body, and he felt his perception being isolated, locked within the spatial shield—protecting his senses from being shredded by spatial storms.
He stepped into the space vortex, followed by the Divine Weapon Pavilion disciples behind him.
Entering the space vortex, everything went dark before Lu Yu, and then he felt his world swirling, uncertain of how much time had passed before he fell from the sky.
Thud~ Lu Yu adjusted his body mid-air, landing steadily on his feet.
He swiftly surveyed the surroundings; it was a barren world with no crops, the sky was pitch-black, and the air was filled with a faint gray mist.
Lu Yu frowned; the air here lacked Spiritual Qi.
Squatting down, he grabbed a handful of soil from the ground; the soil resembled desert yellow sand, turning into powder in his hands and dispersing into the air.
The soil wasn't right either.
He raised his head, looking toward a small village not far away. He could see the fence on the edge of the village and the houses within.
Lu Yu stood there waiting for a while without seeing anyone else fall down, so he started walking toward the village.
According to the information from the Divine Weapon Pavilion and the Zhou royal house, in the shattered world, places with man-made traces are usually where peculiarities and benefits exist.
The farmland here was empty, without any man-made objects, and at present, Lu Yu had no choice but to head toward the village.
Information rapidly flowed through Lu Yu's mind as he sifted through village-related details.
Matching the information in his mind, he indeed found a few relevant records.
The most likely presence in the village is a kind of humanoid monster oozing black oil, indestructible, not very strong in attack but extremely hard to deal with.
They can turn into liquid black oil, invading the human body through every orifice, transforming them into creatures oozing black oil.
Freezing them can deal with them; coldness can slow their movements, and then one simply needs to leave the area.
Despite the black oil oozing from them, using fire attacks would be counterproductive.
As Lu Yu retrieved the details from his memory, he arrived at the village's edge, in front of the fence, preparing to enter the village.
He stood outside, gazing into the fence's interior.
Extending his hand, he sprinkled the dust in his palm into the village's area.
The dust flew over the fence, accelerating by dozens of times, appearing like a fast-forwarded video.
Lu Yu understood; the time flow inside the fence was significantly faster than outside.
After pondering for a while, Lu Yu stepped into the village's domain, eager to witness the indestructible oil monsters, learning about the bizarre entities of this world.
Stepping inside the fence, he felt a sudden sharp blow to his head, extremely uncomfortable, as if his head had turned into mush.
Passing through regions with too great a time flow disparity often leads to such a condition.
This is due to traversing a cross-section where the time flow of the body's front and rear parts becomes inconsistent, affecting the body.
The greater the time flow disparity, the more severe the impact.
Severe cases could lead to death.
Given that the blood flow in the front half of the body could suddenly accelerate by hundreds of times while remaining unchanged in the rear half, causing blood to accumulate directly in the rear half, resulting in death.
This is just one factor of blood; many others influenced by time could cause death.
This is why Lu Yu scattered a handful of dust before entering, gauging the time flow disparity.
