Chapter 1045: Achieved It
“I might actually have a way to help you,” Lu Yin offered.
Lan Si was astonished. “You want me to keep my position as an Arbiter so that I can support you?”
Lu Yin nodded, as this was one of the primary reasons why he did not want to take Lan Si’s seat. Lan Si was an upright person, and he would definitely follow through on his agreement to unconditionally support Lu Yin. Since that was the case, then it would be a waste of Lu Yin’s efforts if Lan Si was no longer one of the Ten Arbiters.
“How so?” Lan Si asked..
Lu Yin explained, saying, “If the Sea King’s Dome supports you, then your status shouldn’t be much lower than when you had Grayweed Continent behind you.”
Lan Si thought about this proposal. “Although no one knows where the Sea King is at the moment, the Sea King’s Dome’s influence within the Starfall Sea is immense. They still have an Envoy in Elder He, and they even have a bit of influence within the Hall of Honor. So yes, that would indeed be enough.”
Lu Yin nodded. Now, he needed to check and see what response the people from the Sea King’s Dome’s would have to such a proposal.
The moment the networks in the Innerverse and Outerverse reconnected, they should have been able to sense if the Sea King was dead or alive.
If the Sea King was not dead, then that would be great, as the Sea King’s Dome would be able to maintain its influence. Otherwise, even if they retained their influence at this moment, they would still be bullied by the other various great powers of the Innerverse sooner or later.
Within the Innerverse’s Daynight clan, Nightking Zhenwu stood at the border and activated his gadget to call someone.
After some time, a gloomy voice was heard from the gadget. “The Hall of Honor is unable to judge Lu Yin at the moment.”
Nightking Zhenwu frowned. “Why? He is a traitor to our Fifth Mainland.”
“He is an Honor Chosen, and he has Yuan Shi vouching for him. Lu Yin is not a traitor to our Fifth Mainland. Nightking Zhenwu, please be careful with what you say.”
Nightking Zhenwu was surprised. “What? He’s an Honor Chosen? Impossible!”
“As an Honor Chosen, Lu Yin also qualifies to compete for an inheritance at the Astral Tower. Nightking Zhenwu, if you do not have concrete proof of your accusations, then do not use the Daynight clan’s influence to condemn Lu Yin as a traitor. Otherwise, your actions will affect the Hall of Honor’s prestige.”
Nightking Zhenwu became so furious that he immediately hung up.
He had never even dreamed that Lu Yin would obtain such a status. When Nightking Zhenwu believed that he had killed Lu Yin, he had not been overly concerned about any possible repercussions from denouncing Lu Yin as a traitor. His only intentions in doing so were to demonstrate the Daynight clan’s power.
But now that Lu Yin had been revealed to still be alive, and especially after he had managed to defeat Lan Si, this matter had become far too important. Even if the people from Leon’s Armada or the Astral Combat Academy continued to pressure Nightking Zhenwu, he was still determined to deal with Lu Yin. Otherwise, the Nightking would never be able to relax.
Lu Yin defeating the Ten Arbiters’ Lan Si had shocked the entire universe, and within the Daynight clan’s ancestral grounds, countless people stared at Lu Yin’s image, which was at the top of their stone plaque in a daze. They simply did not know what to think.
Hui Daynight had a calm look, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a glimmer of expectation and hope.
Nightqueen Yanqing opened her eyes, and she instinctively glanced at the top of the stone plaque. She could not progress any higher. She was not the only person who had made incredible improvements during the Sixth Mainland’s invasion, as Zhanlong Daynight had also improved drastically. It was not very realistic for her to surpass him.
Besides that, there were also two others above Zhanlong Daynight: Lu Yin and Nightking Zhenwu.
Out of everyone in the entire Daynight clan, there was nobody who could surpass these three.
Nobody knew if Lu Yin was capable of surpassing Nightqueen Yanqing’s elder brother.
Upon thinking of this, Nightqueen Yanqing shook her head. She was thinking too much. Even though Lu Yin had managed to defeat Lan Si, it did not mean that he could beat her brother. The Mt. Stacks Dojo and the Daynight clan were on different levels; if not for Grayweed Continent having seventy two dojos, then even with its special location, Lan Si would not have been qualified to even be mentioned as being on an equal level as her brother.
There were different levels of power and influence between the Ten Arbiters, and her brother had the full support of the Daynight clan. How could he be someone whom Lan Si could compare to?
The fact that an outsider like Lu Yin had advanced to such a level was already very impressive, but there was no way for him to surpass her brother on the stone plaque.
Nightqueen Yanqing decided to take a break, as comprehending inheritances was not an easy process, and she was beginning to feel a bit light-headed.
Suddenly, shouts were heard, and Nightqueen Yanqing even heard her own name mentioned.
“Surpassed! Zhuo Daynight has surpassed boss Nightking Xiong. Now, she’s just below Nightqueen Yanqing.”
“She actually surpassed boss Nightking Xiong? She’s gonna be in trouble! Boss Xiong is not one to be messed with.”
“Shh- Boss Xiong is right there!”
…
Nightqueen Yanqing looked up at the stone plaque in the ancestral grounds again, and she saw that Nightking Xiong, who had previously been just below her, had suddenly fallen to sixth place. Surprisingly, Zhuo Daynight had surpassed him.
Nightqueen Yanqing was slightly shocked, as she had a very clear understanding of Zhuo Daynight’s talent. The girl had already surpassed Yanqing’s expectations when Zhuo Daynight had managed to reach the top ten of the ancestral grounds’ stone plaque, and at this moment, she had actually surpassed Nightking Xiong.
Nightking Xiong and Nightking Zhenwu were from the same generation, which was one generation above Nightqueen Yanqing. Thus, the two were almost old enough to no longer be considered a part of the younger generation. In terms of strength, Nightking Xiong should be at about the same level as Nightking Gu. This person had not chased after fame, and he had never even left the clan’s ancestral grounds. Still, he was ranked thirty seventh on the Top 100 Rankings, which was quite impressive.
Zhuo Daynight had barely managed to surpass Nightking Xiong with the experience that she had gained during the Sixth Mainland’s invasion. This was how she had managed to step past him.
There was a shout, and Nightqueen Yanqing frowned as she looked off into the distance, where she saw a robust-looking man looking in all directions. Finally, he stared directly at Zhuo Daynight and walked towards her step by step. “Woman, fight me!”
Zhuo Daynight opened her eyes, and they started to flash.
Beneath the stone plaque, where the ancient figures were gathered, a person spoke up. “Do not act impudently within the ancient inheritance grounds.”
Nightking Xiong bowed low. “Senior, this junior just wants to help those in our clan comprehend and consolidate the battle techniques that they have just comprehended. I wouldn’t dare be impudent.”
Before the figure could speak up again, another voice called out from the distance, “Back off.”
Nightking Xiong’s expression changed tremendously. He did not dare to utter even a single word more, and he immediately retreated.
Of the members of the Daynight clan, Nightking Xiong was unafraid of the older generation since they were all members of the same clan, and those old folks would not argue with him. However, Nightking Zhenwu was the one who had given that order, and his status was different. Offending Arbiter Zhenwu would lead to a life even worse than death.
Zhuo Daynight looked calm as she glanced at the peak of the stone plaque, at Lu Yin. Congratulations on defeating Lan Si and formally joining the top of the universe.
But please, don’t underestimate Nightking Zhenwu.
Even though Zhuo Daynight had not spoken with Lu Yin very often, she understood him quite well. She knew that he would definitely try to take revenge for the grudge that had formed when the two had fought atop the Champions’ Stage.
Do your best to endure!
However, if Zhuo Daynight ever met Lu Yin again, they would likely be enemies, as by that time, she would likely already have been married to Nightking Zhenwu and become his glorious puppet.
Zhuo Daynight closed her eyes and returned to reenter the corridor of inheritance.
Off in the distance, Nightking Zhenwu had been staring at Zhuo Daynight from start to finish. After he learned that Lu Yin was an Honor Chosen, the Nightking’s unpleasant emotions had grown even darker after glancing at Zhuo Daynight. However, his lips mysteriously curled up in a manner that inspired fear in anyone else.
To Nightqueen Yanqing, Nightking Xiong was just a clown. Although he was indeed powerful, he had reached the limits of his potential and did not have much room to grow.
However, Yanqing also disregarded Zhuo Daynight. Even though she was unsure as to why her brother valued this girl so much, Yanqing believed that it was impossible for Zhuo Daynight to surpass her.
Right as this thought passed through her mind, shouts entered Nightqueen Yanqing’s ears once again, and these cries completely overwhelmed the ones from before.
Nightqueen Yanqing looked back up at the ancestral grounds’ stone plaque, and her pupils shrank. Zhuo Daynight’s image had actually surpassed the Nightqueen’s, becoming the image that stood right below Zhanlong Daynight.
How was such a thing possible? Nightqueen Yanqing suddenly stood up to take a closer look at Zhuo Daynight off in the distance.
She was not the only one, as many people were looking over.
Within the inheritance corridor, Zhuo Daynight had continued to press forward after surpassing Nightking Xiong. Shockingly, the battle technique that had appeared before her was actually Night’s End, Daybreak!
Within the Daynight clan, there were numerous battle techniques, but very few people could obtain them, and even fewer were able to cultivate the techniques.
Since Zhuo Daynight had already comprehended Night’s End, Daybreak due to the Dayking bloodline’s crisis and had spent an exorbitant amount of time within the corridor of inheritance, it was quite normal for Night’s End, Daybreak to appear before her.
Night’s End, Daybreak was one of the most powerful battle techniques of the entire Daynight clan, and it belonged to the same tier of battle techniques as Skybreaker as it had beaten an entire era into submission. The moment the battle technique appeared in front of her, Zhuo Daynight had surpassed Nightqueen Yanqing on the stone plaque.
Besides everything else, Zhuo Daynight had cultivated Night’s End, Daybreak for more than six years, and she had already achieved a bit of comprehension regarding this battle technique. She had even first comprehended it at the edge of life and death, so her understanding of it was not shallow at all.
After just a few minutes, she suddenly passed Zhanlong Daynight and reached a height that placed her only below Nightking Zhenwu and Lu Yin.
She had successively surpassed three people, which would ordinarily not be that shocking. However, she was now at the peak of the stone plaque.
All of the members of the Daynight clan stared at Zhuo Daynight with fervent eyes, each of them wanting to know exactly what battle technique she had obtained.
Even the most ancient figures who remained beneath the stone plaque had opened their eyes.
One of them had a complex expression while also having an expectant gaze similar to Hui Daynight’s.
Lu Yin had been able to reach his height on the stone plaque because he had penetrated deeply into the corridor, almost reaching the end. His image’s height was not because of any deep understanding towards the battle technique that he had received.
The only battle technique within the corridor that was suitable for him was Night Advent, which rivaled the Daynight Restoration Technique. However, it could not compare to Night’s End, Daybreak or Skybreaker.
One day later, Zhuo Daynight demonstrated the results of her past six years’ effort of comprehending Night’s End, Daybreak. She suddenly surpassed Lu Yin’s image and became the second ranked image on the plaque. She was now second only to Nightking Zhenwu.
Everyone was stunned, as Zhuo Daynight had just made history by consecutively surpassing four people at the top of the plaque within a single day.
Quite a few eyes were staring intently at Zhuo Daynight, and the expressions among the descendants of the Dayking bloodline were even more heated. Although they knew that such a thing was not possible, they still hoped that Zhuo Daynight would somehow surpass Nightking Zhenwu and truly create history.
Ever since the Dayking had died, another Dayking descendant had never reached first place on the stone plaque, and they hoped that Zhuo Daynight would be able to do so.
However, reality left them disappointed, as Zhuo Daynight opened her eyes at that moment. There was no need for her to continue comprehending the inheritance.
Someone could not stop themselves from speaking up, “Zhuo Daynight, keep it up—you can create history!”
The words of that one person caused the entire Nightking clan to grow unhappy, but they represented countless years of the Dayking clan’s dreams.
Zhuo Daynight calmly stood up and left.
Create history? How was that possible? They did not understand the true terror of Nightking Zhenwu, and Skybreaker was in no way inferior to Night’s End, Daybreak. Zhuo Daynight did not believe that she could surpass Nightking Zhenwu when it came to comprehending a peerless battle technique.
The more one understood Nightking Zhenwu, the more desperate they would feel, at least that was the case for Zhuo Daynight.
If she had not witnessed that battle, then she would have been able to dedicate her utmost to comprehension and come up with all sorts of ways to surpass Nightking Zhenwu. At least in her heart, she would have been able to believe that there was some bit of hope.
However, it was also a good thing that she had seen that battle. Now, she knew that the more effort she put forth, the more laughable Nightking Zhenwu would find it.
Step by step, she walked towards Nightking Zhenwu.
It did not take her long to reach him, and she spoke to him in an indifferent tone. “I did it.”
