Liu Tianmu walked out of her private room. She had been cultivating for more than a month, and her injuries were much better than before. Out of everyone who had come to the Sovereign's Realm, her injuries were the most severe. She wondered how Lu Yin was doing and if he had any way of leaving.
Before coming to this starry sky, Old Zen had told him not to force himself if he really couldn't obtain the Origin Item. It was more important to stay alive and return.
As long as he reached that place, he would be safe. But now, how could he leave Junior Progenitor Planet?
As he thought about this, a large shadow loomed over his head.
Liu Tianmu looked up and was stunned when she saw Lu Yin pass by while carrying a mountain of star essence. He even smiled at her when he saw her.
Liu Tianmu blinked his eyes. He was at a loss. What happened?
The middle-aged man also saw it. He was annoyed and did not look.
Lu Yin tossed the star essence into the black magma with a bang. Of course, he separated the magma from the rest, as he would have to continue searching for the star essence if it melted.
Looking at the small mountain of star essence, Lu Yin estimated that there were at least a few hundred million star essence here!
He didn't know if it was enough. He couldn't take any more from that place. If he took any more, it would be obvious that there were a few places that were missing. The outside world would be suspicious.
Let's settle down for a few days and break through first.
He took out a Heavenflame Stone and began to absorb the black lava.
A few days later, the die was restored, and Lu Yin started rolling it again. Four pips, pretty good luck.
He appeared in the Time Stop Space and then took out a Heavenfire Stone. It was time for him to break through and become a Hunter after his nineteenth cycle.
…
On the White Dragon's Junior Progenitor Planet, the middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked in Lu Yin's direction. What was this guy planning to do with so many star essence?
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel curious. His star energy swept past Lu Yin's position, and at that moment, Lu Yin seemed to have noticed him and looked back at him.
The middle-aged man was astonished. He had actually broken through?
He had become a Hunter on his nineteenth cycle, and he was now a peak Hunter. He was only one step away from breaking through to the Enlighter realm.
What a pity. If Lu Yin had broken through before the exploration of the Sovereign Realm, then the Junior Ancestor would have treated him better. However, even if Lu Yin had become an Enlighter at that time, he would not have been of much help to the Junior Ancestor.
As for the star essence, they were still there, and nothing had changed. He frowned, as he had no idea what Lu Yin was trying to do.
Lu Yin sensed that the middle-aged man's star energy had been withdrawn, and his lips curled up. This person had indeed been unable to resist the urge to investigate, but he hadn't discovered anything yet. It seemed that he wouldn't be doing so for the next few days.
He raised his hand and sensed his strength as a Hunter after his nineteenth cycle. There was not much of an increase, and this cycle's increase was just an increase in his total amount of star energy. While it might have been a significant increase to a normal Hunter, it did not make much of a difference to Lu Yin. Only when he broke through to the Enlighter realm would there be a difference.
It was impossible to break through to the Enlighter realm here.
He looked at the star essence and sighed. He raised his hand, and his die appeared. He hoped that he could roll six pips.
It was a beautiful dream, but unfortunately, he didn't roll a six in the remaining four rolls of the dice. He had to wait for another ten days.
At this moment, in the Middle Level World, Long Kui received orders from his clan to bring Long Qi back to the Upper World Dragon Mountain.
Long Kui was frustrated as well. Ever since Long Qi appeared, he had become the man's bodyguard. He was an elder of the White Dragon Tribe, and the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. Helpless, he could only go to the White Dragon Junior Ancestor Planet. If he had known, he would not have left.
Ten days later, Long Kui saw Wangyu in the distance, which was very close to the White Dragon Young Ancestor Planet.
Lu Yin looked up as well, and his die appeared. He tapped it again.
The die spun slowly and finally stopped at six.
Lu Yin was delighted, as he had rolled it.
His consciousness appeared in the dark space. This time, Lu Yin was not in a hurry, and he quickly traveled through the dark space. The further he traveled, the more likely it was that he would reach the Fifth Mainland.
Fifteen minutes later, he chose a ball of light to merge with, as he was afraid that he would run out of star essence.
…
My name is San Liang, and I'm a very ambitious person. I've set my goal since I was young, and that is to become a person above others. Others cultivate, and I cultivate as well. Others focus on cultivation, but I'm different. I want to cultivate, but I also want to study psychology.
Psychology is a very interesting field of study, especially for cultivators who are all brawn and no brains. I can easily read their body language, and because of that, even if my cultivation is the same as others, I can easily obtain a much higher status. For example, right now, with my power level that barely exceeds 400,000, I frequently come into contact with the various directors and help them deal with some mundane matters.
My goal is to become one of the directors.
Originally, this was an unattainable dream, as the position of director was not prepared for someone like me with no background. However, something big happened at Glory Mountain, which caused the director position to become vacant. My chance has come.
However, it won't be easy to snatch the director position from so many competitors. I don't lack anything, but I lack a powerful background. What should I do?
Lu Yin opened his eyes, and the memories flooded into his mind. These words were deeply imprinted in his mind, reminding him to never forget them.
This really was the Fifth Mainland! Lu Yin was ecstatic, and he ignored the messy memories and immediately searched for information regarding the Outerverse.
After a while, Lu Yin relaxed. Fortunately, after he had disappeared, Elder Chan, the Head Inquisitor, and Everlasting Island had clearly stated that no one was allowed to touch the Outerverse without permission. Furthermore, he had not been missing for long, so nothing major had happened in the Outerverse.
However, two major events had occurred in the Neoverse.
The first was that the Sixth Mainland's Secret Ancestor had forced his way into the Neoverse and used his Progenitor's power to find the Eternal Kingdom. He had destroyed the Eternal Kingdom in one fell swoop, shocking the universe. However, he had been inexplicably injured, and no one knew exactly how he had been injured. Many speculated that he had been injured by the power left behind by the Fifth Mainland's Progenitor, just like the Martial Ancestor. Some also speculated that the Neohuman Alliance had a power that could injure a Progenitor.
Regardless of which theory it was, it was not something that two or three people could come into contact with.
Back when Bu Kong had been killed by the Seven Skygods of the Neohuman Alliance, the Secret Ancestor had moved to eradicate many of the Sixth Mainland's Neohuman Alliance strongholds before giving up. Everyone had thought that the matter was over, but who would have thought that the Secret Ancestor had been suppressing himself until now? He had then moved to find the Eternal Kingdom that the Fifth Mainland had been unable to find for countless years and directly destroyed it.
A Progenitor possessed boundless power, but he had held back and endured the ridicule of many. The Secret Ancestor's schemes were not something that mortals could compare to.
Even Lu Yin felt that the Secret Ancestor had been too rash. If the horizontal black hole had been destroyed without him, then the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands would have been finished.
The second incident was a disaster for the Fifth Mainland. One of the Fifth Mainland's Half-Progenitor, Spirit Fat Mavis, had died.
She had not been killed, but rather died while trying to break through to the Progenitor realm.
This incident caused a huge commotion in the Fifth Mainland, and it even affected the Sixth Mainland.
This was the first time since the ancient war that someone had failed to break through to the Progenitor realm.
The Fifth Mainland's Half-Progenitor had died.
How could it be so easy to break through to the Progenitor realm? Spirit Fat Mavis had dared to be the first to attempt to break through, which meant that she had a considerable amount of confidence.
This San Liang was very interesting, and the more Lu Yin read through his memories, the more he felt that this person was a genius. This person also had a deep impression of himself, especially Invincible Sage. No one had ever dared to be impudent on Mount Glory, and Invincible Sage had toppled San Liang's worldview.
He wanted to become a director, and in order to become a director, he had not forgotten to study psychology while cultivating. He was truly a prodigy. No matter how hard he worked, it was a pity that no one supported him. Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he raised a hand to leave Wang Wen's contact information before withdrawing from the fusion.
San Liang's body trembled, and he looked around. Strange, why did he seem to be in a daze just now? He was about to leave when his expression suddenly changed as he saw the contact information left in front of him. His face turned deathly pale; someone had approached him without him noticing at all.
San Liang suddenly looked at his gadget. One minute had passed, and he had not felt it at all. A feeling of dread spread from the bottom of his heart. This was Mount Glory, and someone had actually dared to attack him so easily. That person's strength was beyond his imagination, and if they wanted to attack him, wouldn't that be an easy task?
San Liang looked at the contact information in front of him and hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth. Regardless of whether it was a blessing or a curse, he had to face it.
He immediately raised his gadget to try to contact the person, but he found that he could not reach them. The other party was too far away. Helpless, San Liang headed to Starlink World, as that was the only place where he could contact the entire universe.
On White Dragon Junior Progenitor Planet, Lu Yin's consciousness returned to his body, and he moved his shoulders. He looked around, and his expression changed. He had actually used up all of his star essence. Even if he had not voluntarily withdrawn from the fusion, the fusion would have ended due to the lack of star essence.
This was too exaggerated; how long had it been?
It had only been a minute or so, and he had only read two or three portions of the person's memories and left a way to contact him. That much star essence had been used up in such a short amount of time. If he wanted to stay for a while longer, he would have to use up hundreds of millions of star essence. All of the star essence on this planet would not be enough for him.
At that moment, star energy swept over him. "Long Seven, Elder Long Kui wants to see you." It was the middle-aged man's voice. "Eh, where are the star essence?"
Lu Yin pursed his lips and leaped away from the dark red lava. He glanced at the astonished middle-aged man in the distance and then headed towards Long Tian's statue.
Soon after, Lu Yin and Long Kui rode on the back of a flying chariot and headed towards the Central Calm Sea. As for the middle-aged man, he reported to Senior Yi He on Junior Progenitor Planet. Senior Yi He was the only person on Junior Progenitor Planet who had survived six Origin Tribulations. By the standards of the Fifth Mainland, his power level was over a million.
"The star essence is all gone?" Senior Yi He was astonished.
The middle-aged man's expression turned ugly. "Yes, it's all gone."
Senior Yi He laughed. "It seems like this kid has a way to erase the imprint. Forget it, there's no need to worry about him."
To powerhouses above the Emissary level, star essence was just a low-level cultivation resource, and they did not care about it at all. However, to the middle-aged man, star essence was an enormous amount of wealth. If he had had that much star essence in the past, he would have broken through to become an Emissary long ago.
He was rather unhappy, not because he was unwilling to part with the star essence, but because he was jealous. However, when he thought about how Lu Yin was a member of the White Dragon Clan, it was likely that he did not lack star essence. He could only sigh and continue cultivating, hoping that the junior ancestor would return soon.
