Old Man Nong was curious about the relationship between Lu Yin and Nong Zaitian.
Madam Red's gaze was cold. "Senior Nong, your family has hidden itself quite well."
Old Man Nong raised his brows. "What do you mean?"
Madam Red sneered. "That Lu Yin's friends all passed by themselves, but he actually sent your family's juniors in. Is there even a need to explain this relationship?"
The other experts from the Sixth Mainland all looked at Old Man Nong, but they did not question him.
Old Man Nong was considered the most powerful person present, as he was a Cosmic Imprinter. Madam Red had dared to mock him because she herself was close to becoming a Cosmic Imprinter.
"Madam Red, look carefully. Zaitian was thrown over, not sent in. That force was quite strong," Old Man Nong said.
Madam Red's tone was cold. "Senior, are you trying to tell us that your family's juniors have nothing to do with this Lu Yin?"
Old Man Nong did not speak again. Even a fool could tell that the two knew each other, and their relationship was not shallow.
Madam Red had only mocked him to vent her frustration over Hong Ying's injuries. She did not want to offend Old Man Nong either.
The invasion of the monsters had caused the Sixth Mainland to suffer heavy losses. Even though the Three Patriarchs had acted in time and prevented too many experts from dying, there were still some who had died. For example, the Di Patriarch, a Cosmic Imprinter, had died at the hands of the monsters. Four Cosmic Imprinters had also died.
With fewer Cosmic Imprinters, the survivors were naturally more respected. Even though Madam Red did not fear Old Man Nong, she did not want to offend him openly.
Many participants from the eastern mountain had gathered together, and the situation on the other three mountain peaks was similar.
On the southern mountain, Bu Kong did not stop those from the Fifth Mainland from attempting to pass. Wen Sansi, He He, Wu Dan, and the others all successfully passed, including Mira, Kuang Wang, Liu Xiaoyun, Li Zimo, and the others. Even Ku Lei passed.
Bu Kong did not attack them at all, and he merely smiled as he watched them pass.
Many from the Fifth Mainland did not understand, but those who understood Bu Kong knew that he did not have good intentions.
There was no point in eliminating these people here. He wanted to defeat these people with absolute strength in front of everyone, just like during the battle on the Cosmic Sea's General Appointment Platform, where he had single-handedly defeated many top experts. That scene would be remembered forever, and he wanted to create an even more glorious scene in the Supreme Tournament.
Bu Kong was not the only one who had the same thoughts; Zhiyi and Yao.
The more confident he was in himself, the more he would let the experts he had set his eyes on go.
This was only one of the reasons.
No one knew whether these experts were hiding their strength or not. If they tried to stop them, even if they didn't lose, they would still be afraid no matter how confident they were in themselves. Who didn't have a hidden trump card?
Rather than foolishly fighting everyone head-on, he might as well let them pass. Meanwhile, these people would all face the Prime Clear lineage.
Ever since the five Pass Lords had been appointed, Shangqing had been appointed as the Central Pass Lord and the sole Supreme candidate, Bu Kong, Zhiyi and the others had been suppressing their anger.
They had always looked down on the Fifth Mainland, so for someone from the Fifth Mainland to be called the only supreme being on the surface, it was an insult to them.
They had long wanted to drag the Prime Clear Lineage down, but the Three Suns Ancestral Qi was known to be invincible, and the Hall of Honor recognized the Prime Clear Lineage as the strongest. They still wanted to see the strength of this person.
Letting these experts pass was also to see if the Shangqing Sect would stop them. Once they did, they would be able to more or less see the Shangqing Sect's bottom line.
No one was stupid, and Lu Yin was no exception. He was very confident in himself, and if he went all out, not a single person would be able to pass the eastern mountain. However, he wouldn't do that. Going all out right now would only benefit others. Only an idiot would do that.
Liu Tianmu and the others weren't bragging.
The most important function of the so-called Five Great Pass Masters was to eliminate the weaker participants, at least half of them, and not to let them fight to the death with their peers. Of course, they couldn't be beaten down, otherwise it would be too shameful.
The five Pass Lords' strength was like the face of the Supreme Tournament.
After a day, almost all of the experts that Lu Yin and the others saw as passable had passed. The remaining people were just there to make up the numbers. At least, that was what they thought.
And at least half of these people had been eliminated.
At the eastern mountain pass, Lu Yin looked up. At this moment, the person closest to the Prime Clear Lineage was Yu Hua Mavis. Not only was she the number one in the eastern mountain pass, but she was also the number one in the entire Sovereign Tournament.
Countless people looked at Yu Hua Mavis.
At the central pass on Mount Supreme, the Prime Clear Lineage opened his eyes and looked down. Yu Hua Mavis was rushing over.
Outside Mount Supreme, Qin Mavis was nervous.
The Mavis Family dominated the universe and feared no one. Even the Hall of Honor had to give them face.
Shu Xin, the successor of the Mavis Family, had never feared the Hall of Honor's Number One Method. However, this time's Number One Method was different because he controlled the ancestral qi of the three suns.
In the era of the three suns' ancestral qi, everything else was empty.
No one could surpass a Progenitor in the same realm, which meant that no one could surpass the three suns' ancestral qi. There were three Progenitors in the same realm, and whether it was in theory or in reality, no one could surpass them.
Yu Hua Mavis and the Prime Clear Lineage exchanged glances before leaping out and quickly passing by. The Prime Clear Lineage didn't make a move.
Qin Mavis heaved a sigh of relief, as did many others.
The Prime Clear Lineage didn't plan on stopping everyone, which was good.
Yu Hua Mavis passed by the Prime Clear Lineage, but suddenly stopped and looked back. "Everyone is curious. Who can your third ancestral qi turn into?
Although there aren't many Progenitors in history, there are very few who can stand on the same level as Progenitor Chen. Or could it be that all three ancestral qis are Progenitor Chen? "
The Prime Clear Lineage calmly closed his eyes, "If you want to know, then force me to use my third ancestral qi. However …" The Prime Clear Lineage's voice changed at this point. It was still calm, but his voice echoed throughout Mount Supreme, "In the Sovereign Tournament, no one can force me to use my third ancestral qi. No one can force me to use my full strength."
Yu Hua Mavis' gaze trembled. How arrogant.
On Mount Supreme, everyone's expression changed. Some were gloomy, some were excited, and some were disdainful. The Prime Clear Lineage's words included everyone. No one could force him to use his full strength. He was too arrogant.
"Try to force me to use my full strength. Actually, I'm also very bored," the Prime Clear Lineage said calmly. The screen was being filmed by people outside Mount Supreme, so no sound could be recorded. However, the Prime Clear Lineage's voice was too loud, and it rushed out of Mount Supreme's range. Everyone outside Mount Supreme heard it clearly.
The entire Mount Supreme was in an uproar. Everyone outside Mount Supreme, including those in the universe, was astonished.
This was the first Supreme Tournament. It was unclear what would happen in the future, but from the ancient times until now, there had never been so many talented youngsters participating in the tournament. Facing these people, the Prime Clear Lineage actually used a single word to describe them — boring. This was disregard.
Many people in the universe were furious and cursed the Prime Clear Lineage's arrogance. For example, the Great Eastern Alliance, the Innerverse's various powers, and the Sixth Mainland all supported people who were considered to be unrivalled in their generation, yet the Prime Clear Lineage ignored them.
Of course, there were also many people who cheered. They supported the Hall of Honor and the Prime Clear Lineage.
The more arrogant the Prime Clear Lineage was, the more confidence they felt.
On Mount Supreme, Liu Tianmu and the others paused and looked at the Prime Clear Lineage. Back in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Prime Clear Lineage had revealed the power of the Three Suns Ancestral Qi. They had indeed been powerless, but the Prime Clear Lineage hadn't been as arrogant as he was now.
Anyone who had interacted with the Prime Clear Lineage knew that he wasn't an arrogant person. Everything he said was from his heart. He was truly bored.
He was lonely, and it was lonely at the top.
Bu Kong took a deep breath, and his face sank. Even as someone from the Daosource Three Skies, he had never been so arrogant. Just wait.
Zhiyi's face sank. She really wished that this person had been in the Cosmic Sea back then. She wanted to see if he would still be so arrogant.
Yao Xuan looked up. Humans were still so arrogant. However, the ancestral qi of the three suns was indeed troublesome.
Lu Yin stretched his neck. How ruthless, directly provoking everyone. It seemed that the Prime Clear Lineage was truly bored.
Was the strength that they had displayed not enough for him to notice?
He thought back to Progenitor Chen's unrivalled glory, and how the Prime Clear Lineage had been able to invite two Progenitors of the same realm to battle. Just thinking about it made him shudder.
Looking at the current Prime Clear, Lu Yin seemed to see three indistinct figures standing tall. Three Progenitors were high up in the sky, waiting for him to challenge them. This era was too boring, and no one could name this era after themselves. Only by crossing this hurdle would one be able to create their own era.
In the distant past, Progenitor Chen had represented an era, the Symbol Progenitor had represented an era, Progenitor Wushang had represented an era, and so on. Progenitors were unrivalled in their generation, and they each represented an era. It had been a very long time since someone like that had appeared.
Lu Yin took a deep breath. He wanted this era to have the surname Lu.
A clamorous roar came from below, and Lu Yin turned around to see that the competitors had finally gathered and were charging over.
It wasn't just the eastern peak; the competitors from the other three peaks were also frantically trying to break through.
It was likely that they had been provoked by the Prime Clear Lineage, but everyone's eyes had turned red, and they were determined to break through.
Determination was one thing, but the results were another.
As Lu Yin released his domain and enveloped the entire mountain pass, hundreds of competitors who had rushed over were sent flying back. Only a few managed to hold on, but they were forced to half-squat on the ground.
Lu Yin continued to lean against the wall and watch them with interest.
Those people were pale, and they panted heavily as they exchanged glances with Lu Yin.
At that moment, more and more competitors rushed over from behind. Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, and his domain crashed down. It was as if the world had turned upside down, and most of the competitors were sent flying back like the previous batch, landing at the foot of the mountain.
Of the few who had withstood the domain's first attack, a few were unable to withstand the second attack and were sent flying back. Only one person managed to advance with great difficulty, and that was Yue Xianzi.
Yue Xianzi was surrounded by a whirlpool of water. This was a battle technique that she had obtained from the Three Realms Six Daos Trial Zones — Water God's Robe.
Yue Xianzi was an Explorer who was very close to becoming a Cruiser, and she had relied on the Water God's Robe to break through Lu Yin's domain. There were not many people with her strength, and with her strength, she should have been able to break through from the very beginning.
