Chapter 288: Chapter 160 Senior Sister: "I’ll step on your back for you.
On the deck of the flying boat.
Lu Jin’an sat cross-legged, operating the "Great Freedom Visualization Technique", and spoke to the virtual image of his master displayed on the communication compass: "... That’s about it, can you help me?"
Pei Wanyu, resting her chin on one hand and playing with her hair with the other, asked with a smile: "Can this Master understand it as you wanting me to manage your finances?"
Lu Jin’an smiled, "No need to understand, that’s exactly what the disciple thought..."
With a pause in his voice, he continued jokingly, "After all, Master, you’re idle every day."
Hearing this, Pei Wanyu raised an eyebrow, smiling yet not, "Are you itching for trouble, needing some discipline from your Master, hmm?"
"If there’s any itching..." Lu Jin’an murmured, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, then quickly changed the topic: "In any case, I’ll trouble you with this, Master."
"This isn’t any trouble... It’s all for our family in the future." Pei Wanyu looked at Lu Jin’an, "The only issue is when the two realms pass war rekindles, all cooperation with the Demon Clan will have to cease...
Moreover, there’s no guarantee that the Qiu’s Fox Clan will always collaborate with the Human Clan."
Lu Jin’an said nonchalantly, "Once the business is on the right track, we can quietly replace Qiu’s people, just split the spirit crystals with her."
Pei Wanyu teased, "Qiu Qingtang is quite pure and beautiful, isn’t she?"
Lu Jin’an chuckled, "This disciple is not a stud."
"Alright." Pei Wanyu nodded, "This matter I’ll worry for you, be careful on your journey, and... finish up and return early."
"Hmm."
After ending the communication, Lu Jin’an devoted himself to operating the "Great Freedom Visualization Technique". Now, he was already in the self-exploration and completion stage of this incomplete Immortal Law.
Once he endured the trials of Crossing Tribulations, it would be a method of becoming Immortal tailored entirely to himself.
’Five Dao Palaces, Harmonization Late Stage, rule completion...’
Lu Jin’an closed his eyes, transforming his divine soul into time, and began exploring within the river of time.
He intended not only to use his ability to deduce the action in Yulin Domain this time but also to better enhance the Time Rule.
Of course, Yang Guan, the Qi Fortune Teller, could not be directly involved, but could be deduced from another angle, perhaps through himself, through the Divine Intent Sect.
In time hegemony, space reigns supreme... If space were a great furnace, then everything but time is the fuel for this great furnace.
And time is the rule that proves the existence of this great furnace.
It proves both the existence of the great furnace and the maturity and development of the fuel within it.
Compared to controlling the great furnace of space, mastery of the power of time is evidently a more profound force.
Riding against and with the river of time are experiences that countless cultivators may never have in their lifetimes.
Lu Jin’an had once experienced it in the Nanzhuo Domain, so his understanding of the power of time had reached a relatively high level.
With closed eyes, he took a spirit crystal from his storage space and applied the power of time within his domain on the spirit crystal.
Time reversed.
The spirit crystal visibly shrank, dimmed, and eventually transformed into ethereal spiritual power in Lu Jin’an’s hand.
The spirit crystal returned to its spiritual energy form before the spirit vein was born.
Lu Jin’an increased his focus at this moment because he had only transformed time through his divine soul to explore the future without experiencing it personally, so he was now attempting to deduce the future through reversing time, restoring the spiritual energy in his hand back into a spirit crystal.
This process was challenging.
Because the future is uncertain.
The spirit crystal in hand had originally gathered through days and nights, vast changes of time before forming a flow, condensing into a vein, and then producing a spirit crystal.
During this growth process, there were many uncertainties. Any deviation could lead to failure in condensing spiritual energy into a spirit vein, or failure to grow into top-grade spirit crystals.
’Transform spiritual energy, transform time...’
Lu Jin’an steadied his mind, concentrating wholeheartedly on the application of the Time Rule.
If he succeeds, he will achieve a perfect breakthrough and begin the Ninety-Nine Crossing Tribulations.
In his domain, streams of the future emerged around the spiritual power in his hand, which Lu Jin’an explored because these streams contained the ’future’.
Mu Qingyue appeared silently on the deck, dressed in a white blouse paired with a black horse-faced skirt, her silver hair fluttering, bringing an elusive artistic touch.
Upon her arrival, it seemed like a long sword stood in the space, claiming all sharpness.
Her eyes covered with a black cloth, she ’looked’ at the back of the cross-legged sitting Lu Jin’an, quietly protecting her junior brother.
······
Taichu Hall, within Huangyu Palace.
After the communication ended, Pei Wanyu leaned on her hand, pondering as she asked Dong Han on the side: "Did you write down what Jin’an just said?"
"Written down." Dong Han obediently replied, "This is the framework outlined by the Saint Heir."
She handed the paper sheet to Pei Wanyu.
Taking it, Pei Wanyu glanced over it, a faint smile tugging at her lips: "Not bad, the good disciple can just focus on cultivating, this Master has more to consider...
After all, it will all be the Lu family’s property in the future."
Dong Han looked at Pei Wanyu obediently, thinking how the Deputy Sect Master, though from the Huang Clan, is quite tolerant of the Saint Heir from the Human Clan...
Never had the thought of having the Saint Heir marry into the family.
"Go call Chunyu over."
"At once." Dong Han quickly ran to the door to call Chunyu.
Pei Wanyu looked at the contents on the paper, her expression becoming focused, a rarity.
"This business could depend on the Wandao Sect, but it must be the Lu’s private property, and definitely cannot involve people from the Wandao Sect to avoid anyone using it for controversy if the humans and demons resume war in the future."
