STAR ODYSSEY

Chapter 3440: Enter On Your Own

No matter the place, there would never be a lack of people who admired beauty.

In the hearts of countless women in the Spirit Nidus, Yu Shan was the epitome of admiration. He treated every woman with gentle kindness, embodying his name: Yu Shan, peerless in the world.[1]

Boundless slowly moved through the Hundred Grasses Domain, deliberately reducing its speed. Lu Yin wanted to examine the domain.

Soon, he turned to look in a specific direction. A moment later, the void twisted, and Yu Shan emerged and gave a slight bow towards Boundless. "Junior Yu Shan greets Senior Yuan Qi."

Lu Yin examined the newcomer. He actually dared to come? Did the High Seraph not warn him? Or is he simply fearless?

"Are you Yu Shan?" Lu Yin asked. He stood at the bow of the battleship to face Yu Shan directly.

Yu Shan looked at Lu Yin. "And you are…?"

"The Third Boss of the Grandverse Manor. You can call me Seventh Bro."

Yu Shan stared at Lu Yin. "And what is your relationship to Senior Yuan Qi?"

Lu Yin smirked. "It seems that you came here without knowing anything at all. Did the High Seraph not tell you?"

Yu Shan loudly proclaimed, "Since ancient times, courtesy is something that should not be ignored. I ask that you to show the proper respect and refer to the High Seraph as 'Lord.'"

Lu Yin chuckled. "He doesn’t deserve it."

Yu Shan shook his head. "Regardless of how Senior Yuan Qi may perceive the current Spirit Nidus, even if he opposes my master, there should be some level of mutual respect. Your rudeness suggests a lack of upbringing. Arrogance always requires a price to be paid."

Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "A price will be paid, but neither you nor your master are qualified to make me pay."

"The Grandverse Manor is protecting criminals. That seems to match your character. I have nothing more to say. I ask that Senior Yuan Qi come out and meet me," Yu Shan called out.

Lu Yin ignored the man and calmly looked around the Hundred Grasses Domain.

Boundless continued to sail along slowly, and it soon passed Yu Shan without acknowledging him again.

Many women appeared behind Yu Shan. Some were able to move through the void on their own, while others were carried along by experts. Their eyes sparkled whenever they looked at Yu Shan, betraying their excitement.

Lu Yin noticed the crowd of followers and was reminded of Ling Que. Could Yu Shang be like Ling Que? That did not seem very likely. Ling Que had hired his cheerleaders, while at least some of the women following Yu Shang possessed an impressive cultivation. It was clear that they were exceptional even among the elites of their generation.

Yu Shan ranked second on the White Spirit List and was the High Seraph’s disciple. On top of that, he had a perfectly chiseled face and was extremely charismatic. He certainly deserved to be admired.

"Junior Yu Shan requests to meet Senior Yuan Qi," Yu Shan shouted at Boundless.

There was no reaction from the battleship as it continued along.

Yu Shan’s form flickered as he moved directly in front of Boundless, where he shouted again. "Junior Yu Shan requests to meet Senior Yuan Qi."

Boundless continued on without pause.

Lu Yin was still staring straight ahead.

Yu Shan persisted. "Junior Yu Shan requests to meet Senior Yuan Qi."

"Junior Yu Shan requests to meet Senior Yuan Qi."

…

More than ten days passed in this manner. Yu Shan showed no signs of giving up. His attitude and tone of voice never changed, and he never revealed any hint of anger.

Instead, it was the group of women behind him who started to hurl insults at Boundless, and even at Yuan Qi.

Both publicly and privately, members of various factions praised the man. "As expected of Yu Shan. He truly is unmatched in the world. His demeanor is absolutely admirable. Compared to him, Yuan Qi looks quite petty."

"Exactly. He doesn’t even dare to meet with a junior."

"He’s no longer a Seraph. Lord High Seraph is in seclusion, but as soon as he emerges, Yuan Qi will undoubtedly be stripped of his title."

"But the Grandverse Manor is incredibly powerful. Even without Yuan Qi having the title of Seraph, there is no one in the Spirit Nidus who can deal with them unless Lord High Seraph himself takes action."

…

"Junior Yu Shan requests to meet Senior Yuan Qi."

"Junior Yu Shan requests to meet Senior Yuan Qi."

…

Inside Boundless, Ba Liu, Cai Jun, and the others were all amazed. The man who ranked second on the White Spirit List was following them. This was something they could have never imagined in the past.

Old Tao felt his headache getting worse. More and more important individuals were starting to appear, and this went against his preferred lifestyle of being low-profile.

Cai Keqing glanced to the right, at Yu Shan. The Cai family had once done everything possible to betroth her to Yu Shan. Was this the man? He certainly was impressive and elegant.

Yuan Qi remained calm in the depths of Boundless. Without Lu Yin’s orders, he would not speak to Yu Shan, much less the High Seraph.

Yu Shan was able to endure the frustration as he continued to follow Boundless, but others were not so patient.

One young woman, who was accompanied by an old woman, moved to block Boundless’s path, shouting, "Yuan Qi, how rude can you be?! Brother Yu Shan has asked to see you so many times, and yet you still ignore him. You are going too far!"

Lu Yin’s attention turned to the old woman beside the young lady. The old woman was a Spirit Ancestor, which meant that the young woman had impressive backing.

However, compared to Boundless, such backing was nothing special.

"Xiao Yin, go back," Yu Shan said.

The young woman gritted her teeth. "Brother Yu Shan, they’re being too rude to you! I’m going to teach them a lesson!"

Beside her, the old woman’s face grew pale, and sweat started to drip from her forehead. She fought the urge to drag the young woman away and quickly whispered a warning. "Young Mistress, let’s return! We can’t provoke Boundless! Not even our sect can go against them."

The young woman was unbothered. "What is there for us to fear? We have so many sisters here! No matter how powerful Boundless might be, they can’t possibly kill all of us! Sisters, come here!"

More women started to appear, filling space and blocking Boundless’s path.

"Yuan Qi, listen up! Today, you will meet Brother Yu Shan! If not, we won’t let this go!"

"Exactly, do you know how many domains all of us here represent?"

"Even Seraph Yi needed to treat us politely. Yuan Qi is about to lose his title as Seraph, so what gives him the right?"

"Come out!"

"Come out!"

Those following Boundless watched the commotion. The young women would not be easy to deal with. After all, for them to follow Yu Shan or even know his location required considerable influence.

In particular, due to the fact that these women were focused solely on Yu Shan, they had no understanding of the current situation in the megaverse and were completely unaware of how terrifying Boundless was.

All that remained to be seen was how Boundless would handle the matter. If the battleship continued further, the women blocking it would end up in a bloodbath.

Yu Shan repeatedly urged the women to leave, but the more he pressed the matter, the more determined they became to remain in place.

Lu Yin watched as the women hurled indignant insults at Boundless. These people were lost in their own beautiful illusions. They should pay a price, but it was not necessary for them to pay with their lives.

Lu Yin gestured with a hand, and Astral Anura reluctantly stepped forward.

"Go on, Toady."

Astral Anura forced a grin. He wanted to emphasize that he was Astral Anura, not Toady, but the cold glint in Lu Yin's eyes made the toad hold back. If he could not vent his frustrations on Lu Yin, he would vent them elsewhere instead.

Astral Anura suddenly leapt away from Boundless, shooting towards the group of women.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out as a woman turned pale and fled in horror.

"A toad! There's a toad!"

"Ah!"

"Help!"

"Grandma, get me away from here!"

"Brother Yu Shan, there's a toad! A toad!"

"Ah!"

It took just a moment for all of the women who had been blocking Boundless’s path to flee in terror. Their faces were pale and their determination shattered.

Rarely was there a woman who would be unafraid of the toad. Regardless of whether one was an ordinary human and a cultivator, the more that they admired beautiful things—like Yu Shan—the more they were intimidated by grotesque creatures, like a toad.

Although the women's reactions had been expected, Astral Anura was still offended. Was he really that disgusting? His pride was hurt. After all, his great-grandmother had always told him that he was adorable.

The people watching were speechless.

Everyone who had witnessed what had happened had no idea how to react.

"Is this really how they’re going to handle things?"

Cai Keqing's expression shifted slightly. Even she had felt slightly nauseated. Just imagining a toad landing on her had been enough for her to immediately retreat into seclusion.

Still, the Grandverse Manor had not been as ruthless as she had expected.

Yu Shan was dumbfounded. Could things really be settled in such a manner? He stared at Lu Yin for a long time, and Lu Yin responded with a smile as Boundless continued onwards.

In order to deal with someone like Yu Shan, it was important to stay grounded. The more down to earth a person was, the more helpless Yu Shan would feel.

The incident with the women had been nothing more than a farce, but Yu Shan had been left in an awkward position. After all, those women had stood up for him, and they had all just been scared off. If he did nothing, the magnanimous reputation that he had built would collapse.

This thought propelled him to take a step forward and block Boundless himself. He stared at Lu Yin. "Senior Yuan Qi refuses to see me, but I can wait. No matter if it’s a century or a millennium, I can wait. However, those women just now were all innocent. They simply grew a bit anxious, and yet you used such a despicable stunt to frighten them away. They’ll be traumatized for life with this! I cannot tolerate such shamelessness! I demand an explanation, from you, from Boundless, and from the Grandverse Manor as a whole."

Everyone aboard Boundless ignored the man as the ship continued straight forward. No courtesy was shown.

Yu Shan’s eyes grew cold. He raised his hand and attacked Boundless with a palm strike. The battleship trembled, and the immense power behind the attack drew everyone’s attention.

Even Lu Yin was surprised. This was an impressive strength. Yu Shan had a refined and elegant appearance, and yet he actually possessed amazing physical strength. Interesting.

Yu Shan stood in Boundless’s path, determined to stop the ship from advancing.

Countless eyes paid attention. While Yu Shan was incapable of stopping Boundless on his own, he was backed by the High Seraph. Would Yuan Qi really have the courage to act against Yu Shan?

"If you want to step aboard Boundless, you must either join the Grandverse Manor or enter on your own," Lu Yin said as he stared at Yu Shan.

Yu Shan met his gaze. "Enter on my own?"

"I’m standing right here. If you’re able, then enter on your own. This is the rule of cultivators. If you have the strength, then you can enter."

The people watching fell silent. There were countless rumors regarding this Third Boss. Some claimed that he was Yuan Qi’s disciple, while others claimed that he was a direct descendant. There were more who believed that he was actually an ancient, legendary powerhouse from a forgotten past, someone whose cultivation was close to that of the High Seraph himself. These various rumors had already made Lu Yin famous in the Spirit Nidus.

In fact, there were times when there were more discussions about him than even Yuan Qi.

In contrast, no one spoke about Old Tao, the Second Boss, at all. He was regarded as quite average. While his cultivation was decent, he seemed completely unremarkable.

Additionally, Old Tao’s connection to the incident in Beacon City had been intentionally or unintentionally suppressed by the Daquan Domain.

Yu Shan dropped his hand and appeared before Lu Yin. Boundless slowly continued forward. Yu Shan locked eyes with Lu Yin and said, "I am someone who acts courteously before resorting to violence. Since Boundless has been so rude, even to innocent women, then I have no choice but to fight my way in in order to speak with Senior Yuan Qi."

Lu Yin said, "I have a question for you."

"I also have a question for you."

"Do you regret the fall of the Hundred Grasses Domain?"

"The fall of the Hundred Grasses Domain has allowed everyone in the Spirit Nidus to see that human cultivation can also be selfless. I do not regret it," Yu Shan declared righteously. "Now, I will step aboard Boundless. If I end up accidentally killing you, will that benefit or harm Yuan Qi, given his transgressions?"

Lu Yin answered with a smile, "If I die, there will be no answer to give."

Yu Shan’s eyes suddenly flared. "Fine! If that’s the case, then even if it costs me my life, I will put an end to this matter. The Spirit Nidus is surrounded by threats from outside. It cannot fall into chaos."

With that, he stepped forward to board Boundless.

1. Yu Shan (御善) translates to "Master of Kindness" or "Lord of Virtue," reflecting his gentle and admirable nature. ☜
