Star Odyssey

lled Enhance wasn’t very large, which meant there was a limit to how many star essence he could place on it at a time.
If he used star crystals instead, then his arms would likely become sore long before he could complete even a single upgrade.
Star essence were necessary.

The star crystals were unusable for Lu Yin, but the Nine Stacks Sect wouldn’t be able to get off of the hook that easily.
Lu Yin immediately instructed Lan Wu to send the star crystals over to Zenyu Star so that they could restore the Great Yu Empire’s imperial treasury. 

As for Grandtop Weave… It would be restored some later time in the future!

Aside from the money, there were quite a few other things in Lei Long’s cosmic ring.
Like Karthika’s, there were quite a few medications.
However, Lu Yin also found a unique valuable item in the ring.
It was protected within a layer of Spiritual Thread, which could one mean thing: it was a sourcebox. 

What a surprise. 

Lu Yin eyed the square box that was several meters long and made entirely out of Spiritual Thread.
He considered his options for a moment, put on his universal armor, and then slowly opened the box.
All of a sudden, an invisible force flitted past the armor and pierced straight through the building and the void.
Many people outside of the palace watched on in shock as a huge crack extended into space before slowly dissipating. 

Lu Yin immediately closed the box, completely shocked.
He touched the area on his armor that had come in contact with the invisible force and saw a white mark there.
The invisible bloodlust that had seeped out of the sourcebox had actually damaged this universal armor which was sturdy enough to withstand an Enlighter’s attacks. 

Lu Yin immediately put the box away.
At the same moment, Bronsen charged in from outside the palace before he was stopped by Lu Yin. 

While touching the box, Lu Yin thought to himself, That invisible bloodlust was able to damage my armor, so it’s probably a Boundless Advanced sourcebox.
It might even contain the power of the predecessors inside of it.

This was not something Lu Yin could handle at his current level.

Lu Yin moved on from the box and started to check out the other items inside Lei Long’s cosmic ring. 

Frostwave Weave was close to the Outerverse’s region of the Astral Wilderness.
To the south of Frostwave Weave lay Darkmist Weave, and to the north was Northcastle Weave.
To the east was Grandtop Weave, and to the west lay Lars Weave.
There were also small sections of the border that connected to Woori Weave. 

The moment news of Lei Long’s death spread to the nearby weaves, the organizations from the Blaze Realm that had been occupying Lars Weave immediately moved out.
The forces from the Second Divine Hall that had been staying in Northcastle Weave also changed their base. 

All of the Enlighters who were in the weaves bordering Frostwave Weave felt a chill that went straight to their bones. 

Huo Houye in particular had the feeling that Lu Yin would seek him out, looking for trouble.
Since Lu Yin was so thirsty for blood, and Huo Houye was completely in the dark about the brat’s abilities, the Enlighter did not dare to go up against Lu Yin.

The stranded Enlighters could not be blamed for acting so cowardly.
Anyone who was able to reach the Enlighter realm was a genius, and they all had all sorts of tricks to stay alive.
It wasn’t easy to kill such people, and it was very rare for anyone to die even during battles between Enlighters.
However, despite that, Lu Yin had eliminated two of them in quick succession.
The remaining Enlighters felt incredibly uncomfortable after seeing this turn of events, and they felt as if everything they knew was a lie. 

Even Enlighters like Nightqueen Qiuyu, Elder Viletree, and Wen Qichen from the major forces of the Innerverse were shocked.
All of them were suddenly unwilling to have anything to do with Frostwave Weave unless it was absolutely necessary.

Now that Lu Yin had handed the Nine Stacks Sect over to Tianming, Frostwave Weave and Grandtop Weave had essentially merged together, and the empire’s territory had suddenly expanded to twice its original size.
While Lu Yin hadn’t gained complete control over the entire area, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
However, at the moment, the lack of qualified personnel was becoming more and more glaring of a problem. 

The military was dreadfully short of both manpower and qualified powerhouses.
All of these problems were starting to give Lu Yin a huge headache. 

He’d already passed off most of the document reviewing work that the Imperial Cabinet needed to be done to the Lu Administrative Cabinet’s Huan Sha.
However, even with her talent, there was too much work for just one person to complete.
Most of the papers still had to be delivered to King Zishan’s palace. 

Lu Yin wanted them to be delivered to Wendy Yushan’s residence, but her residence wasn’t even open, and no ministers were able to enter.
He was at a complete loss for what to do. 

Half a month passed in such a manner until Lu Yin really couldn’t handle it anymore.
He wasn’t the kind of person who enjoyed administrative work.
Thankfully, he was suddenly told that Madam Nalan was requesting an audience with him.

Lu Yin’s eyes lit up.
Right, Madam Nalan! How could he have forgotten about her? The Nalan family was one of the wealthiest organizations in the entire Outerverse, and their business interests reached all seventy two weaves.
They wielded way more influence than the Great Yu Empire, and they had far more complicated issues that they needed to handle on a daily basis.
Madam Nalan was sure to have a method to deal with this.

Soon enough, she entered King Zishan’s palace. 

The moment he saw Madam Nalan, Lu Yin stopped breathing for a moment.
He was once again shocked by this woman’s appearance.
She was always able to catch him off guard with her natural beauty and arousing fragrance.
With those tight, pure white clothes, pale legs, and red fingernails, she was simply breathtaking.
 

Lu Yin had a certain level of resistance to lust since he had been around so many beauties in his life.
There was his beloved Ming Yan, Bai Xue, Starsibyl, Wendy Yushan, and many more.
Each and every one of them was absolutely stunning.
However, Lu Yin’s resistance towards Madam Nalan quickly disappeared each time they met because she was simply far too seductive.
More importantly, she wasn’t doing anything on purpose. 

Lu Yin really could not imagine what it would be like if she actually tried to seduce him.
He fully believed that he wouldn’t be able to stop himself.

She studied him, and her eyes formed little half moons as she smiled.
“You’re making me feel unnerved when you stare at me in such a manner, Your Highness.” 

Lu Yin immediately looked away and apologized.
“Forgive me, madam, as I was distracted.”

Madam Nalan smiled.
She’d seen far too many gazes of infatuation directed towards her, so she was not surprised at all.
Regardless of how much of a genius or how invincible Lu Yin may be, he was still a man, as well as a man who was very well-spirited.
“What are you agonizing over, Your Highness? Tell me.
If it’s possible for us to help, we won’t say no.”
