Lu Yin headed in the direction where he saw the most rune lines.
At the same time, Li Zimo arrived in the First Flowzone.
Lu Yin had brought a few people from the Outerverse along with him into the Innerverse, and one of them was Li Zimo. His goal was to join the Sword Sect, and the mission that Lu Yin had given him had become Li Zimo’s lifelong dream.
The Sword Sect was the ultimate goal for any cultivator who trained with a sword, and it was possible that not even the organizations in the Neoverse could rival the Sword Sect in terms of sword arts. Even Zhi Yi, who was one of the Sixth Mainland’s Daosource Three Skies, had been surprised by the Sword Sect’s battle techniques.
For a sword genius like Li Zimo, his ultimate dream was to join the Sword Sect.
Nobody could imagine how devoted people could be to swordsmanship unless they visited the First Flowzone.
The simplest example was that, for every ten cultivators in the First Flowzone, five of them would train with swords.
Li Zimo stared at the stars with excitement in his eyes. This was the place that he had always dreamed of. Fortunately, he had managed to leave Shenwu Continent.

Within Evernight City, there was a mini city called Everbright City, and it had been built specifically to host the Daynight Feasts. In that area, there was an auction house, a library, a club, and even a casino. Almost all of the entertainment venues that were available in Evernight City were also available in Everbright City, and this place was extremely luxurious.
Everbright City lived up to its name, and lights illuminated every corner of the city for the entirety of the Daynight Feast.
Lu Yin had just arrived in Everbright City.
However, he felt skeptical that he was still within Evernight City, as there were pink petals floating through the air while the streets in front of him were bustling with people. The scenery and atmosphere of this place was completely different from what he had seen outside.
Many people had converged into this area; some were Daynight clan members, while others were outside cultivators.
The universe was vast, and geniuses could be found everywhere. Thus, even if only a few people from each flowzone attended the Daynight Feast, there would still be a large crowd.
The invitations for the Daynight Feast had mostly been sent to the members of the younger generation with great potential, such as people on the Top 100 Rankings or people like Lily Anne from Northline Flowzone. There were many cultivators at Lily Anne’s level in the Innerverse. Thus, even if only a small portion of them attended, their numbers were still enough to make Everbright City a bustling hubbub.
The people surrounding Lu Yin were mostly other youths.
And almost all of them were geniuses of their own flowzones.
Lu Yin easily spotted Ling Que’s rune lines within the crowd, and aside from him, Lu Yin saw countless more geniuses in the city. In fact, there were even two people who possessed more rune lines than Ling Que. If these people were also a part of the younger generation, then it meant that they were among the top of the Top 100 Rankings.
The moment Lu Yin entered Everbright City, a gorgeous woman walked up to him and beckoned at him entrancingly.
“Seventh Bro, it’s time for you to be a man!” the monkey exclaimed excitedly.
Lu Yin pursed his lips and politely refused the women. He then checked his surroundings, upon which his attention was immediately drawn to a tall, ancient building. Naturally, he started making his way towards it.
But then, a unique scent suddenly filled his nostrils that caused him to salivate. Something nearby smelled delicious.
Lu Yin followed the scent and eventually found a cultivator cooking a creature that looked like a fish.
“Isn’t that a Fruitfish from the Astral River? I heard that it’s a delicacy and that it’s very expensive since it’s so hard to catch.”
“That fish lives in the depths of the Astral River, so there’s no way to obtain one unless you’re an Enlighter at the very least. And even then, you’d have to be quite lucky to catch a Fruitfish while not getting eaten by any of the other monsters in the Astral River.”
“I once saw one of my clan elders eat a Fruitfish, and I heard that its meat tastes like hundreds of different fruits combined together. More importantly, the flavor of the meat will change accordingly based on your favorite fruits! It’s truly amazing.”
“That’s right. Even if you have the money, you still can’t buy a Fruitfish. Still, the Daynight clan managed to get one. Just this made it worthwhile to attend this Daynight Feast.”
…
Lu Yin approached the crowd of numerous youths, all of whom were staring fervently at the Fruitfish, wondering who would get to eat the fish.
“Uncle, how much is the Fruitfish?” a cute girl hopefully asked.
The cultivator cooking the Fruitfish was a middle-aged man, and he didn’t even raise his head at her question. “You don’t have to spend any money while in Everbright City, as the Daynight clan has paid for everything. Come and get it for yourself if you want a bite.”
The crowd grew excited.
“I can’t believe that it’s free! The Daynight clan is too generous.”
“You can’t buy something like this with money. It might not be too expensive, but the biggest problem is that it’s almost impossible to find. I can’t believe that I’ll have the chance to try it today.”
Lu Yin was looking forward to the food as well, as this Fruitfish sounded quite delicious. Would it really taste like his favorite fruits?
The crowd grew bigger, and soon, there were close to a hundred people around Lu Yin.
About ten thousand people were attending the Daynight Feast, and hundreds of them had gathered around the fish.
Everyone pushed forward as they waited for the Fruitfish to finish cooking.
The middle-aged cultivator opened the pot, and the Fruitfish’s meat looked like blooming petals. The scents of various fruits filled the air, causing everyone in the crowd to practically drool.
The people at the front tried their best to grab a piece of the fish, but there was an invisible wall that separated everyone from the food.
The middle-aged cultivator smirked. He had merely promised the Daynight clan that he would provide Fruitfish, but he had never promised to actually give anyone the opportunity to eat it. These juniors did not have the right to enjoy his cooking, and this Fruitfish would be his once the Daynight Feast ended. On top of that, the Daynight clan had already paid him for the Fruitfish, so in his mind, it was a perfect plan.
These people were just a bunch of kids.
The people at the front were unable to force their way past the invisible barrier even after they used their battle techniques. After a bit of time, everyone’s expressions dimmed. It turned out that it would not be a simple task to obtain a piece of Fruitfish. There truly was nothing free in the world.
Lu Yin stared at the middle-aged cultivator curiously. Although the man did not possess a tremendous amount of rune lines, Lu Yin could tell by the man’s aura that his power level was over 300,000. He was clearly an Enlighter realm powerhouse.
Lu Yin felt that everyone here was simply being toyed with by a cultivator whose power level was above 300,000.
The people standing at the front of the crowd moved aside after failing, and they were replaced by the people who had been standing behind them.
The Fruitfish had attracted a massive crowd, but not a single person managed to taste the fish.
The middle-aged man smiled, as he found the entire situation extremely funny.
Eventually, Lu Yin made his way to the front of the crowd. He had changed his appearance so that nobody would recognize him. Otherwise, he would have already been targeted and harassed by Daynight clan members.
