I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

"Downwards?"

Lu Yun paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered the Yin-Yang Tower.

The Yin-Yang Pagoda is a pagoda that grows downwards from the Yang Pagoda. Could this stone tablet be one as well?

As if guessing what Lu Yun was thinking, Huo Yaoyang solemnly stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground from the sky.

"Based on our collective deductions, this stone tablet must have fallen from the sky and plunged headfirst into the ground. No one can tell exactly how big it is; even our ancestor's divine sense couldn't detect the end of the stone tablet."

It's not impossible.

According to Zhaixing's memories, the stone tablets were deliberately scattered by him to avoid the possibility of the lineage being cut off.

So it would be perfectly reasonable for him to fall headfirst or something like that.

As for the end?

If Lu Yun hadn't accepted the Star-Picking inheritance himself, he wouldn't have been able to see the end.

That stone tablet was not something that could be described in terms of length, width, and height; it was a conceptual entity.

"It's okay, as long as we can find it, I have a way."

Huo Yaoyang nodded without asking any further questions. He then led Lu Yun and the others onto a teleportation array, which transported them directly to the area below.

From above, it appears shrouded in mist, but below it is perfectly clean, with only a vast expanse of white ice as far as the eye can see.

There are no flowers, grass, or trees here, and even the scattered trees are frozen solid.

The most eye-catching feature is a stone tablet, more than five meters high, that is stuck diagonally into the ground in the middle of the basin.

Lu Yun knew at a glance that the stone tablet was indeed facing downwards. While others might not be able to tell, he could discern some subtle differences in the stone tablet.

For example, although the stone tablet looks like a cuboid, the bottom is actually wider than the top. The part of the stone tablet that is exposed is clearly the wider end.

Of course, this is not the point.

The key point is that seven elderly men of different races were sitting cross-legged around the stone tablet.

Among them, the Skyfire Clan member stood out the most, being the only one whose entire body was engulfed in flames.

"These are the seven most powerful ancestors of our Seven-Colored Star."

Huo Yaoyang didn't say much, clearly giving Lan Yun face, since there was no ancestor of the Huiling Clan here.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun nodded and then walked towards the stone tablet.

Upon seeing this, the seven people sitting around the stone tablet opened their eyes and looked over.

Judging from their eyes, they showed no malice or cunning, only the weariness and clarity that come with time.

It's clear that the people of Seven-Colored Star are even more naive than those of Four Directions City.

Of course, this simplicity is only a matter of human nature, and it doesn't mean they are stupid.

Judging from the performance of Hu Meng and others, they are much better at killing monsters than those in Sifang City.

"This must be Lu Yun."

The elder of the Skyfire Clan spoke first, and then slowly stood up.

Upon approaching, he looked Lu Yun up and down with clear eyes before slowly raising the corners of his mouth in a gentle smile.

"Indeed, at such a young age you have opened your sea of ​​consciousness and advanced your domain to the 8th level of the divine realm. Moreover, you are a level 9 god who has completely transformed your body. With your strength, you are indeed the number one genius."

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

Especially Hu Meng and the others, the way they looked at Lu Yun was strange.

"My God... a level nine god? And he's even opened his sea of ​​consciousness?"

"No wonder...heh...no wonder..."

Li Hu's face fell, feeling as if his Dao heart was about to shatter. Rong Hun's flames weakened further, and he wore a bitter smile.

"I thought that by cultivating for 4 years to reach the fifth level of godhood and advancing my domain to the fourth level of godhood, I could be proud to look down on all the geniuses of my generation. But now I see that it was like looking at the moon from the bottom of a well, like a clown."

"Yeah, Lu Yun is only 22 years old and he's already opened his sea of ​​consciousness, while I'm still basking in the glory of being a fourth-level god..."

The ancestor revealed Lu Yun's strength, which truly shocked all the other geniuses of his generation present. Putting aside everything else, just the opening of the sea of ​​consciousness alone was an absolute crushing victory.

The patriarch of the Skyfire Clan, seeing this, still had a smile on his face.

"Don't be discouraged. Young friend Lu Yun is exceptionally talented and possesses great fortune. He is from a completely different world from you. He has his path, and you have yours. Just walk your own path."

Rong Hun and the others were stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances and bowed to him.

"Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor. We understand."

The old ancestor waved his hand, then looked at Lu Yun and smiled.

"My name is Nanming. You can call me by my name as you like."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.

"I have met the Ancestor of the Southern Ming Dynasty."

Nanming smiled and looked Lu Yundao up and down again.

"It seems you're just not high enough level. Once things are settled here, I'll have Huo Yaoyang take you to the Sealed Land to level up. I believe it won't be long before you advance to the God Realm."

"However, the main god realm focuses on cultivating the soul. After advancing to the main god realm, you should immediately try to condense divine fire and solidify it into divine crystal. This will greatly benefit your soul cultivation. Of course, it doesn't matter if you fail. You can condense it once every time you advance one level. In short, the sooner you condense it, the better, and the sooner you can form a divine crystal, the better."

Zhaixing had told him about this before, but not in as much detail as Nanming had. Naturally, Lu Yun wouldn't refuse his kindness.

"Thank you, Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Nanming did not speak immediately, but instead looked at him with a smile.

"Is there something you want to ask?"

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, not expecting that he had actually guessed his thoughts.

"Yes, I do have one major question regarding cultivation."

He couldn't even see the panels of Huo Yaoyang and the others, so naturally he couldn't see those of Nanming and the others either. For such a powerful person, it was incredibly kind of him to be willing to answer questions.

Seeing Nanming nod, Lu Yun made his first attempt, and began to speak haltingly when uttering the keywords.

"Your cultivation level must be very high, but have you noticed or considered whether there's anything wrong with your...divine...fire?"

After saying this, Lu Yun gently shook his head and gestured to Nanming not to answer immediately. Although his movement was very small, how could a strong person like Nanming not see it?

Especially Lu Yun's meaningful gaze, clearly indicating that his true intentions were not what they seemed, so Nanming's expression changed the moment he realized what was going on.

He suppressed his smile, his expression gradually becoming serious. Apart from Hu Meng and others who were completely bewildered, everyone present, including Huo Yaoyang and others, realized that Lu Yun's words were not a simple inquiry.

Fortunately, Lu Yun did not feel uncomfortable after saying those words, nor did he notice the discomfort of Nanming and the others.

That would be fantastic news.

"Please don't rush to answer, think about it first, think carefully..."

Lu Yun's words clearly indicated that there was something wrong with the divine fire, especially when paired with his unspeakable gaze. Upon seeing this, Nanming and the others' expressions all turned strange.

Then, they all instinctively checked their divine crystals, but found nothing.

So, the problem isn't there, but rather...

It comes from the divine fire itself!
