After thinking about it, Lu Yin realized that the seven women had actually evaded his palm strike. That was quite impressive.
The pool was clearly quite small, so just how had Lu Yin fallen into it? It was such a bizarre coincidence.
Suddenly, some unseen power grabbed a hold of him, but Lu Yin did not resist. While he felt that it was possible to resist if he tried, it was the power of Greater Sancte Green Lotus. It was not just physical power, but something with an indescribable grandeur that exceeded even the Immortal realm. The force threw Lu Yin out, and when he regained control of himself, he was falling. He saw a waterfall pouring down from the Sea of Karma.
Still held by the unseen force, Lu Yin looked around, and his eyes instantly narrowed. Was that the Mother Tree?
It looked as if the colossal tree was holding the sky and the earth in place. The canopy formed from the countless branches scattered multicolored light, creating an exquisitely beautiful sight. Far away, islands floated while clouds and all manner of strange things drifted about in the sky that seemed to stretch into the infinite distance. When Lu Yin looked down, the ground below seemed small, yet also endless. He looked forward and saw a branch hanging low, lush with green foliage.
A rainbow arched through the sky above the waterfall, and a slender crescent moon glowed past the white mist. Prismatic streaks of color shot through the sky. As Lu Yin fell, he felt as though he was seeing countless beautiful ribbons unfurled about the sky.
He had never expected the Nine Odysseys Megaverse to have its own Mother Tree, let alone such a massive one. The scale was unbelievable, and it far surpassed the Perennial World’s Mother Tree in the Tianyuan Megaverse. The two were not even on the same level.
The Mother Tree’s roots plunged deep into the earth while its canopy held up the firmament, painting the sky a vibrant green. It was a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
This was the Nine Odysseys Megaverse.
He looked up. Does that mean that the Sea of Karma is on top of the tree’s canopy?
It was reasonable. After all, only the Greater Sancti qualified to stand above the entire Nine Odysseys Megaverse and look down on all others.
Where’s the Spirit Nidus? Beneath this Mother Tree?
The Nine Odysseys Megaverse was completely invisible from the Spirit Nidus.
If the Nine Odysseys Megaverse had its Mother Tree, then what about the black Mother Tree that had come from the Spirit Nidus? It had been moved to the Tianyuan simply because it had blocked some path, but what sort of entity were these trees?
Lost in his thoughts, Lu Yin passed through the clouds and plunged straight into the lake that lay at the bottom of the waterfall.
The waterfall was vast, and the land surrounding the lake at the bottom stretched out a great distance. Lu Yin landed in a single alcove of the lake. There were pavilions and terraces surrounding the shore, and laughter and parties echoed over the waters.
There was a tremendous splash as Lu Yin crashed into the lake. Water was sent flying in all directions, drenching many onlookers and leaving them looking like soaked hens.
“Who is that? An assassin! Young master, watch out! There’s an assassin!”
“Stand back! Someone fell into the lake!”
“Ah~! My dress! Beat him to death for ruining it!”
Only after Lu Yin fell into the lake did the power that held him disappear. He leapt out of the lake with a gasp, only to fall back in. This was the second time that he had landed in water. What was with his luck and water in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse?
The alcove fell silent as everyone warily eyed the intruder. Some eyes were guarded, while others were aggressive and ready to attack.
“Beat him to death for me!”
“Attack!”
“He’s an assassin! Kill him!”
“Wait! Stop!” A well-dressed young master gave a commanding shout. He stood out like a crane among chickens. As he closed his fluttering fan, he observed Lu Yin and then offered a graceful bow. “Might I be allowed to ask your name, as well as why you have fallen into this lake?”
Lu Yin looked over at the young man.
The youth met Lu Yin’s stare with an expression that wavered between shock and suspicion. The young man was doubting his own eyes, but if he had seen correctly, then the man who fell down possessed an extraordinary identity.
While everyone else had been chatting and partying by the lake shore, the young master alone had been staring up the waterfall. He had even been using a tool to see higher and farther.
Coincidentally, the man had seen Lu Yin’s fall.
When he had first noticed Lu Yin, he had already fallen more than halfway down the waterfall. However, the waterfall stretched up to the peak of the Mother Tree, connecting to the Sea of Karma. It was far taller than what the young master could see, but it had immediately become clear that Lu Yin had fallen from far higher up than the midway point.
How far had he fallen? Had he been halfway up the waterfall? Higher? Was it possible that he had fallen from the canopy itself, or even from the Sea of Karma?
The young master harbored various suspicions, and they prevented him from acting rashly.
If the man had fallen from the top of the waterfall, then he had been in the Sea of Karma, which was a place that only those favored by Greater Sancte Green Lotus could enter.
Lu Yin gave no answer. He looked around but saw no one truly powerful. Still, the average person present possessed quite an impressive strength, given their ages.
A finger flicked out, unleashing a spiral of karma, which Lu Yin casually spun around.
Everyone instantly was put even more on edge despite seeing nothing.
The young master blinked. What did the man just do?
A sudden spark of insight struck the young master. Could that unseen power actually be karma? Impossible!
Throughout the entire Nine Odysseys Megaverse, no one other than Greater Sancte Green Lotus himself had ever comprehended karma. That included even Little Lotus King, Green Lotus’s true disciple who was in cryostasis in the Scion Spire. Not even that man had comprehended karma.
If anyone had actually comprehended karma, then their name would have already reached every part of the Nine Odysseys Megaverse. However, the young master had never heard of the man who had fallen from the waterfall.
The invisible power could not be karma.
Lu Yin’s spiral of karma circled the lake, piercing person after person. Each one who was pierced felt an inexplicable sensation. None could verbalize this feeling.
While the Nine Odysseys Megaverse was home to Greater Sancte Green Lotus, a cultivator who had comprehended karma, no one present was worthy to have ever directly encountered the power of karma, let alone be struck by it.
Lu Yin glanced around, took a single step, and simply vanished.
The young master on the shore was startled. “Where did he go?”
Everyone else remained on guard, and they started scanning the area. “Where did he disappear to? Be careful! He’s an assassin!”
“Miss, don’t fear! I will protect you with my life.”
“Junior sister, come over to your senior brother’s side.”
“Look everywhere! Find him and force him out...”
