Shangsheng Shen Wei hesitated. "But Master, the Star Tower contest will begin in about two months."
"It's fine. The Sirius Sect owes us a lot of spots, so give him one to play. Otherwise, Little Black and Little Bai will cause a ruckus. Let him go and show the Sirius Sect that Everlasting Island is not without talent."
"Then, should Little Black and Little Bai go as well?"
"They don't need to go."
"Yes."
…
At the bottom of the cliff, Lu Yin was shocked. "To the Sirius Sect?"
Shangsheng Shen Wei nodded. "Sirius Sect and Everlasting Island have always had good relations, and we've always had a quota for exchange of disciples. This time, you'll represent Everlasting Island in going to the Sirius Sect to cultivate. As for the treatment, you'll be an inner disciple as soon as you enter, and you'll be treated the same as any other Sirius Sect disciple."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "I can learn the Sirius Sect's techniques?"
Shangsheng Shen Wei smiled. "Of course, don't treat yourself as an outsider. Once you go, you'll be a disciple of Sirius Sect, and you can learn whatever you want as long as you have the ability to."
Lu Yin's breathing quickened. Sirius Sect, Sirius Technique … He had never thought that the opportunity would come so soon, and he would never forget the benefits that Sirius Technique had brought him.
Sirius Technique had been by his side ever since he had stepped onto the path of cultivation, and now, he finally had the chance to make a leap.
"Senior Shen Wei, I don't have much time left in the Star Tower, and I won't be able to cultivate for long in the Sirius Sect," Lu Yin said awkwardly.
Shangsheng Shen Wei replied, "Just treat it as having fun. It'll be a short time, but it'll give you more means to compete for the Star Tower."
Lu Yin's eyes brightened. "Thank you, Senior Shen Wei."
At the bottom of the cliff, the Heavenly Master was puzzled. "From his attitude, he obviously knows that he's cultivating the Sirius Technique, but he doesn't reject going to the Sirius Sect. Strange, very strange."
In the Western Border of the New Universe, there was a place where countless stars rotated and formed a huge vortex. It was lifted up by a seemingly invisible hand and pulled in a small part of the Western Border. At the center of the stars was the Sirius Sect.
The Sirius Sect was one of the powerhouses of the Neoverse, and it had countless disciples. Although it was not well known in the Innerverse or Outerverse, that was not because it was not famous enough. Rather, it was because the sect had no intention of becoming famous in the Innerverse or Outerverse.
To the Sirius Sect, the Innerverse and Outerverse were merely barren wastelands.
A middle-aged man stood in front of Sirius's main hall and respectfully reported, "Elder Hai Yan, reporting to the Sect Master that the Sheng Shenwei of Eternal Sky Island has sent a letter saying that an in-name disciple has come to our sect to train. His name is Lu Yin, and he's a seven-time cycle Cruiser from the Outerverse."
"Lu?
Primeval surnames?
Since when did Long Sky Island have anything to do with primeval surnames?
A Cruiser?
Arrange a spot for an inner disciple. "
Before long, the middle-aged man arrived at another location. "Inner Sect Elder Hai Yan, reporting to Core Elder that Everlasting Island's exchange disciple has arrived. His name is Lu Yin, and he's from the Outerverse."
"Sending disciples for an exchange at this time?
What's Everlasting Island thinking?
Just arrange it casually, but don't be careless. Give him the best care, and we can't lose the right to take the Bridge. "
"Elder, do we need to investigate this person's background?"
"There's no need. He's just a Cruiser, and he's probably a genius that Sheng Shenwei discovered from the Outerverse. It doesn't matter."
"Yes, Elder."
"Wait."
The middle-aged man paused, turned around, and bowed respectfully. "What are your orders, Elder?"
"Send Xiao or Mu Ziying to receive him."
The middle-aged man was stunned. "Send a core disciple to receive him?"
"He's an in-name disciple of Everlasting Island, after all. If we receive him well, we might be able to get a few more spots on the Bridge in the future."
"Yes."
…
Within a sealed underground space within the Sirius Sect, Mu Ziying looked up at the dark ceiling that was filled with star diagrams. "They're clearly arranged according to the star diagrams in the jade disc, but why isn't it working?
It looks like I'll have to enter the jade disc to take a look. The competition for the Star Tower is approaching, and if I can cultivate to the third stage of the Sirius Technique, then I might have a chance to compete. "
At that moment, a middle-aged man arrived. "Inner Elder Hai Yan requests an audience with the second core disciple."
Mu Ziying frowned and walked out of the underground space. The glaring sunlight illuminated the area, and he looked up before his gaze landed on the middle-aged man. "So it's Elder Hai. May I know why you're looking for this disciple?"
The middle-aged man respectfully replied, "A disciple from Everlasting Island is about to come to our sect to cultivate. The core disciple has instructed that either the third core disciple, Hua Xiao, or the second core disciple, Mu Ziying, receive him. Hua Xiao isn't in the sect right now, so the second core disciple is the only one who can receive him."
Mu Ziying was puzzled. "Sending a disciple for an exchange at this time?
What's going on?
The competition for the Star Tower isn't that long away, so what can he learn? "
Hai Yan replied, "I just received a notice from Everlasting Island's Sheng Shenwei."
Mu Ziying nodded. "If a disciple from Everlasting Island comes to our sect, then he'll be an inner disciple. Our Sirius Sect has many inner disciples, and I don't know if this person can enter the inner disciple rankings. However, if he was sent by Everlasting Island, then he shouldn't be too bad. What's his name?"
"Lu Yin, from the Outerverse," Hai Yan replied.
Mu Ziying casually nodded. "Lu Yin?"
Wait, Lu Yin?
He looked at Hai Yan in shock. "What did you just say?"
Hai Yan was puzzled, and he replied, "His name is Lu Yin, and he's from the Outerverse."
Mu Ziying had a strange expression on his face, and he was somewhat stunned. "Lu Yin?
Isn't he dead? "
Hai Yan was puzzled. "You know him?"
Mu Ziying's eyes flashed. "Inform the sect to immediately investigate what's happened in the Outerverse recently, and focus on searching for Lu Yin."
Hai Yan was troubled. "Since the Star Tower is about to open, the Glory Realm has already sealed off the Neoverse. It's very difficult to investigate what's happened in the Outerverse."
Mu Ziying replied, "Let's try. This person is very famous, so we should be able to find something."
Hai Yan nodded. "Alright."
Mu Ziying watched Hai Yan leave, and he retracted his gaze. Lu Yin … Lu Yin … This person should have died at the hands of Nightking Zhenwu, and he should have been labeled as a traitor of the Fifth Mainland. How could he be involved with Everlasting Island?
And how could he have been sent by Everlasting Island to the Sirius Sect for an exchange?
Mu Ziying was puzzled.
Unfortunately, it would have been better if Hua Xiao had been here, as he understood Lu Yin better than Mu Ziying.
Since Everlasting Island and the Sirius Sect were both in the Western Realm, they were not too far apart. With the speed of Shangsheng Shenwei's Cosmic grade Aurora, they could arrive very quickly.
"Kid, are you looking forward to it?" Shangsheng Shenwei glanced at Lu Yin curiously.
Logically speaking, the Star Tower was about to open, and everyone should be in seclusion in order to compete for the Star Tower. However, Lu Yin did not reject the idea of going to the Sirius Sect to cultivate. What could he possibly learn in a short one or two months?
Lu Yin's attitude puzzled Shangsheng Shenwei, as he had only casually mentioned that he wanted Lu Yin to increase his abilities. His true goal was to let the Sirius Sect know that Everlasting Island was not without talent.
Lu Yin looked forward to it. "When I was in the Astral Combat Academy, I heard from my mentor that the Sirius Sect is one of the strongest sects in the Human Domain. I'm looking forward to it."
Shangsheng Shenwei nodded. "Although it's not the strongest power, it's not too far off from a sect. Sirius has countless disciples, and there are thousands of inner disciples. Any one of them would be outstanding in the Innerverse or Outerverse, especially the top ten on the Inner Rankings. They can compete with the top ten of your Innerverse's Top 100 Rankings."
Although Lu Yin had already thought that the Sirius Sect was very powerful, he had not expected it to be this powerful.
The Innerverse's Top 100 Rankings was a list that spanned the entire Innerverse and Outerverse. It was a list that had been selected from countless genius cultivators, and any one of them could challenge those of a higher realm. They were the true elites of the Human Domain and qualified to be invited to the banquet.
As for the Sirius Sect, just one sect was enough to compete with the Top 100 Rankings. What did it mean to have thousands of inner disciples?
According to Shangsheng Shenwei, the Sirius Sect alone was enough to suppress the experts on the Innerverse's Top 100 Rankings. If the true disciples were included, then their strength would be even more terrifying.
The Sixth Mainland had invaded, and the weather had been suppressed. What was the Neoverse doing?
Why had he not heard of so many experts joining the battle?
Although the three true disciples had joined the battle, Lu Yin felt that the Four Ultimate Deities, Qiu Shi, had not contributed much.
In order to deal with the Sixth Mainland's cultivators, the various powers of the Innerverse had sacrificed too many people, resources, and treasures. The average strength of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators far surpassed that of the Innerverse, but if they were compared to the Neoverse, they would probably be on par.
Did this mean that the Neoverse's development was the same as the Sixth Mainland's?
Were they only lacking Progenitors?
That made sense, as the Neoverse was the Fifth Mainland that had been preserved the best. This was the true core of the Fifth Mainland's cultivators.
Half a day later, Lu Yin saw a vortex in the distance that stirred up space. Countless stars were spiraling, forming a magnificent scene. The closer he got, the greater the shock he felt.
The Sirius Sect was like a giant hand that was stirring up the universe, or rather, a palm that was holding up the heavens.
Lu Yin did not dare to look at it with his rune lines, as he was afraid that he would be blinded.
The True Scripture of Eon Flow was very rare in the Innerverse and Outerverse, and he could look anywhere he wanted without fear. However, in the Neoverse, the Home of the Gods had long since exposed the True Scripture of Eon Flow's abilities. He had not been able to see anything on Everlasting Island, and he would not be able to see anything in the Sirius Sect either. He might even suffer a backlash.
Lu Yin was constantly on guard. This was the Neoverse, and some of the methods that he had used in the Innerverse and Outerverse would not work here. Rune lines were the most important factor.
The Sirius Sect was hidden at the center of countless stars. Lu Yin looked around at the rotating stars and inexplicably thought about how much of a shock it would cause if a powerful enemy attacked the Sirius Sect and the Sirius Sect detonated all these stars.
The Sirius Palm had originally been able to cause destruction by detonating the stars.
If he used the Sirius Technique and had so many rotating stars, his cultivation speed would increase by leaps and bounds, and he would not even need to rely on the Heavenfire Stones.
Right, once he settled down in the Sirius Sect, he could use the Heavenfire Stones to complete another cycle. He could also cultivate that finger that he had seen on the Bridge.
Highsage Shen Wei's arrival did not cause much of a stir.
Lu Yin stood on a flight of stone steps in the Sirius Sect that was suspended in midair, waiting for someone to guide him. He did not know where Highsage Shen Wei had gone.
Soon, a figure flew over from the distance and landed on the stone steps. "Long time no see, Brother Lu. I am Sirius Sect's second disciple, Mu Ziying. Greetings."
The person who appeared in front of Lu Yin was Mu Ziying.
