Chapter 1183: Not To Be Disclosed

Mu Tianlun frowned and shot a troubled glance towards the empty location that belonged to the Chief Justice. Mu En and the Shadow of Death also focused on the same location. The Chief Justice had never been one to give much of an explanation for his judgments, but in this case, he was clearly defending Lu Yin, which was unnecessary.

It was clear to everyone that the Chief Justice was speaking up for Lu Yin. This was especially shocking since, given the Chief Justice’s personality, it did not matter to him at all that Lu Yin was backed by Yuan Shi and Eversky Island. It would not even matter if he were backed by one of the Arch-Elders; the Chief Justice should still remain unbiased and not defend a defendant in a manner like this. The Chief Justice always needed to keep in mind that he was one of the true supreme members of the Hall of Honor.

Even Highsage Wudi was able to notice that the Chief Justice was defending Lu Yin. Surprised, Highsage Wudi looked at Lu Yin in a questioning manner; could this child have some sort of personal relationship with the Chief Justice?

In stark contrast to everyone else, Lu Yin did not feel that this matter warranted much notice. He was not familiar with the Chief Justice, and thus, he merely thought that the Chief Justice was being fair and speaking the truth. Lu Yin let out a small laugh. "Thank you, Chief Justice, for upholding justice."

Mu Tianlun was still feeling indignant, and he looked over at Lu Yin. "Boy, you don\'t know enough about death energy! It is not that all of us are trying to pick on you, but rather, with your position, the fact that you’ve cultivated death energy would have too large of an impact on society. The ramifications could be catastrophic! What do you think of all this?"

Lu Yin blinked and said, “I think that everything’s just fine.”

Mu En smirked and stifled his impulse to laugh.

Highsage Wudi’s lips started to curl up as well.

Mu Tianlu was not familiar with Lu Yin, but Lu Yin was fearless, as evidenced by how he had nearly overturned the entire Daynight Flowzone. Naturally, such a person would not be overly concerned about a threat from a Judicial Commissioner.

“How did you manage to suppress death energy and cultivate it? If it’s not stable, then you cannot continue using it and will need to remove it.” Mu Tianlun refused to relent.

Highsage Wudi loudly exclaimed, “Mu Tianlun, are you trying to force him into revealing his cultivation techniques? That’s quite interesting. Since that’s the case, then why don’t you share all the techniques that you’ve cultivated with us as well? Including your secret techniques and everything else about you, both minor and important? List them off one by one, as if you’re being punished for punching someone or peeping on girls. Don’t leave anything out!”

Mu Tianlian glared fiercely at Lu Yin and completely ignored Highsage Wudi’s provocation.

Lu Yin’s eyes locked with Mu Tianlun’s. Then, Lu Yin slowly uttered four words, one by one. “Not. To. Be. Disclosed.”

Mu Tianlun arched a brow, and his expression stiffened.

Mu En stood. “The Chief Justice has already declared his decision, and Lu Yin has been proven that he is free of any outside control. Thus, his freedom shall be restored.”

After speaking, he turned to Lu Yin and said, “You’ve been through a lot, child.”

Lu Yin bowed. “Thank you, Judicial Commissioner Mu En, for your concern.”

After that, he turned and bowed to the empty location that belonged to the Chief Justice. “Thank you, Chief Justice, for your ruling.”

Mu En smiled and nodded.

The Shadow of Death instantly disappeared.

Mu Tianlun stood, his face sullen. Just as he was about to leave, Highsage Wudi grabbed his shoulder. Mu Tianlun turned around to stare at Highsage Wudi, and Highsage Wudi trained his eyes on the Judicial Commissioner as he strengthened his grip. Mu Tianlun’s expression grew annoyed. “Mister Wudi, what are you trying to do?”

In a low voice, Highsage Wudi replied, “Nothing. I just wanted to remind you that we of Eversky Island are not easy targets.” After saying that, he squeezed his right hand, instantly crushing Mu Tianlun’s shoulder. The Judicial Commissioner did not make a sound throughout the entire process.

Highsage Wudi then released his grip and scoffed in a condescending manner.

Mu Tianlun picked up his feet and continued on his way, leaving.

Mu En sighed.

Lu Yin was a bit thrown off by the exchange, but he quickly recovered and spoke to Highsage Wudi and Mu En. “Since Little Yin here is free again, my position as an Honor Chosen should be restored, right?”

Mu En nodded. “Rest easy. The Chief Justice informed us earlier, and I will submit an application to the nine overseers.”

Highsage Wudi still felt confused by what had happened, and he quietly asked, “What connections does Little Yin have with the Chief Justice?”

Mu En thought that the trial was strange as well. “I don’t know. Do you?”

“How would I know?” retorted Highsage Wudi.

Both men turned to stare at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin was confused as well. He was still processing what had happened when he had talked back to the Calm of Despair. Lu Yin had to admit that being so bold felt quite invigorating. That man had helped the Daynight clan in the past, and Lu Yin had finally been able to retaliate a bit.

“Oh right, now that Lu Yin is back, the Hall of Honor can relieve Bu Laoweng of his duties of overseeing the Great Eastern Alliance, right?” Highsage Wudi asked.

Lu Yin was surprised to hear this; some Bu Laoweng had been tasked with overseeing the Great Eastern Alliance? That was news to him.

Mu En showed a bit of frustration. "I\'m sorry Mr. Wudi, but that was a decision made by the nine overseers, and it has nothing to do with us from the Interstellar Supreme Court. We have no right to interfere either."

"Don\'t try to pull that garbage on me. The nine overseers are nothing but figure heads. It\'s not like I don’t know that," Highsage Wudi refuted.

Mu En laughed bitterly. "Even so, a Judicial Commissioner like me has no power over the nine overseers. Isn\'t that so?"

Highsage Wudi pondered the matter and felt that this was accurate. "I\'ll go and look for the Chief Justice myself then."

Mu En did not say a word and simply had someone deliver Lu Yin’s cosmic ring and gadget to him.

Lu Yin quietly put his cosmic ring away. He should be feeling happy at this moment, but after learning that this Bu Laoweng had been given control of the Great Eastern Alliance, Lu Yin had fallen into a foul mood.

He had only been captured by the Neohuman Alliance for a short while, but the people from the Hall of Honor had already laid their eyes on his Great Eastern Alliance.

With the authority of the Hall of Honor, Bu Laoweng, whomever he might be, had likely already successfully taken over the reigns of the Great Eastern Alliance.

Mu En left, and Highsage Wudi led Lu Yin along as they left the Arbitration World.

"Senior, who is Bu Laoweng?" Lu Yin asked.

Highsage Wudi answered, "I know that you have many questions, but let\'s leave for now. I\'ll slowly fill you in."

Lu Yin nodded and followed behind Highsage Wudi.

There were many trees planted throughout the Hall of Honor, and they were all tall. From their boughs fell down flows of air like waterfalls, one stream after another.

Lu Yin and Highsage Wudi moved to the top of a tree, and from there, they saw the peak of a close by mountain. From this location, they had a beautiful view of an impressive portion of the Hall of Honor, and down below them was the setting sun. All of these elements together coalesced into a striking picture accented by the sea\'s reflection. The view was breathtaking.

None of the other beautiful sceneries that Lu Yin had seen in the universe could compare to this view of the Hall of Honor. This place truly had appeared to be something out of a dream.

Highsage Wudi told Lu Yin about many of the things that had happened recently, including how the Mountains and Seas Zone had exploded, formed a blackhole that swept through the universe, and formed a barrier. He also mentioned how the Sixth Mainland had been brought in and how the Outerverse would be given over to the Sixth Mainland. The older man thoroughly explained many things.

Mu En either had limited knowledge of these events, or had been unwilling to say more, but Highsage Wudi had no such hesitations.

The people of Eversky Island would not lie to their own people.

Lu Yin was shaken, as he could never have imagined that so many things would have happened during his time in captivity. It was no wonder why the Sixth Mainland had been allowed to participate in ZENITH.

The creatures being held back by the blackhole’s horizontal barrier and the grudge with the Sixth Mainland had all been a part of Progenitor Hui\'s plan. Lu Yin could not imagine just how impressive one’s intellect had to be for them to plot out schemes that would determine the fates of countless others.

However, this was nothing more than a passing thought in his mind. Lu Yin did not dwell on the thought because it was something that was simply too far removed from him. What concerned him the most were the developments regarding the Outerverse.

"Has it been set in stone that the Outerverse will be given over to the Sixth Mainland?" Lu Yin asked yet again, unwilling to believe it.

Highsage Wudi helplessly responded, "If we didn\'t give it to them, their three Progenitors wouldn’t have agreed to help us fight against the greater enemies, and a calamity would have struck our Fifth Mainland instead. If that happened, then forget about the Outerverse—the entire Human Domain, along with the Technocracy and Astral Beast Domain, would be doomed."

"Just what sort of beings are we defending ourselves from? What could have rendered even Progenitors powerless?" Lu Yin questioned.

Highsage Wudi grew serious. "I can\'t tell you about that for now, but when you reach the level of an Envoy, you’ll earn the right to also know."

Lu Yin felt dejected. An Envoy? That was too far away. He had only just become a Hunter.

"More importantly, right now, you should be preparing for ZENITH. I know that you\'ve improved drastically, but don\'t underestimate your opponents. Even during the battle for the Astral Tower, there were some people who didn’t reveal their full strength. We were analyzing everyone’s abilities at that time, and the other forces most likely were doing the same," Highsage Wudi commented.

Lu Yin\'s expression grew cold, and he earnestly answered, "I understand, Senior."

Highsage Wudi sighed. "Though I was one of the Honor Chosens of the past, I, your senior, failed to make it. You must not fail.”

“If I do enter the top ten of ZENITH, what exactly is it that I will win?” Lu Yin could not help but ask.

Highsage Wudi did not answer immediately and instead smiled. “An out of this world opportunity that will allow you to enter an infinitely larger world.”

Lu Yin did not understand, but Highsage Wudi did not offer any further explanations. “Wait here. I’m going to go ask for your position as an Honor Chosen to be restored. Who knows how long they’ll drag things out if we don’t give them a little push.”

“Senior, I would like to contact some people in the Outerverse,” Lu Yin said. With his gadget, there was no way for him to contact anyone in the Outerverse while he was in Neoverse.

Highsage Wudi replied, “Come with me. I’ll take you somewhere.” Then, he led the way.

The space within the Hall of Honor was the most stable that Lu Yin had ever encountered before. It felt as though only Envoys could possibly tear through the void here, and it was clearly beyond his capabilities. Although Highsage Wudi was strong enough to do so, he held himself back out of respect for the Hall of Honor.

Many years had passed, but the Hall of Honor had always been the master of the Human Domain. Even though they could be tyrannical and often chose to sacrifice others for the greater good, their existence still allowed the vast majority of humanity to enjoy normal lives. Even Eversky Island had to show respect for what the Hall of Honor had accomplished.

Lu Yin followed Highsage Wudi, and they passed by one towering tree after another that shot up towards outer space. Before long, they arrived at the foot of the main mountain within the Hall of Honor. “This mountain contains the Hall of Honor as well as its origins. There is only one mountain within the Hall of Honor, and it is known as Mt. Microcosms.”

Standing at the base of the mountain, Lu Yin tipped his head up as far as possible, but he still could not see the peak. He actually actually had been unable to see the peak of this mountain even when atop the large tree earlier.

“That’s enough gawking. You can’t see anything with just your eyes. However, I’ll tell you one thing—even if I wanted to topple this mountain, I wouldn’t be able to do so,” said Highsage Wudi.

Lu Yin was appalled. Highsage Wudi was an expert whose power level exceeded one million. Such power was enough to place him at the very peak of the entire Human Domain, and it meant that he was comparable to even to Yuan Shi. If he was placed within the Sixth Mainland, then he would be a Cosmic Imprinter. But despite his apex strength, was he actually saying Yin that he could not destroy a mountain?

“Mt. Microcosms contains multiple hidden worlds, and one of them is known as the CyNet Great World. Have you heard of CyNet?” Highsage Wudi questioned.

Lu Yin thought that the name sounded a bit familiar, so he considered it for a bit. His eyes then suddenly flashed. “Is that the company that runs the universal network?”

Highsage Wudi nodded. “That’s right. Cyberstars Network links the entire universe. They’re headquartered here in Mt. Microcosms, as they are overseen and protected by the Hall of Honor.”

CyNet had started in the Innerverse, and although they had long planned to connect the Innerverse’s network to the rest of the universe, they had failed. Until recently, they had only managed to connect their network to Ironblood Weave and a few other weaves.
