No matter what, Lu Yin couldn't force it to do anything. "In that case, we'll part ways here. Take care, brother."
Little Can nodded. "Goodbye, goodbye." It bowed to Qing Chen and Lu Yin before turning to leave.
"Wait," Lu Yin suddenly called out.
Qing Chen looked at him.
Little Can paused and turned back, staring at Lu Yin nervously and vigilantly. Its voice was dry as it asked, "M-My Lord, do you have any other orders?"
Lu Yin smiled and gave Little Can his Cloudvision Stone's contact information. "If you have any trouble in the future, you can contact me. After all, we're comrades, so there's no need to be polite."
Little Can memorized the contact information. "Thank you, my Lord. Then, I'll take my leave."
Lu Yin gestured for it to leave, and Little Can hurriedly left.
Qing Chen said, "The root of wisdom is a good thing, and to many people, it's even more valuable than the Cloud Lattice Robe. He's not the only one in this region with a root of wisdom. Perhaps all the Four Libras have one."
Lu Yin was curious. "The root of wisdom comes from Progenitor Hui. Did he leave many traces here?
Then why haven't I heard of him being a descendant? "
Qing Chen took out a piece of paper and led Lu Yin towards the east. "Progenitor Hui went to the Abandoned Lands like Progenitor Chen."
"The Abandoned Lands?
What's that?
I've heard of it many times, especially the stowaways who sneaked into the Ruler Realm. They all came from the Abandoned Lands, and I heard that there's a gap in cultivation there. "
Qing Chen replied, "That's true. The Abandoned Lands' cultivation resources have dried up, and they can't produce any Progenitors."
"Then why did Progenitor Hui go there?" Lu Yin asked.
Qing Chen shook his head. "I'm not sure. No one can say for sure whether he's dead or alive." He didn't want to dwell on the topic. "When we reach the Bifrost, try to recall what you saw with your root of wisdom. We'll try our best to find the anteater you mentioned."
"Understood, Superintendent." Lu Yin didn't ask any more questions, as it wouldn't be good to ask too much.
Qing Chen was controlling the paper too quickly, and Lu Yin couldn't see his surroundings clearly. He felt like he could enter the Astral Source Universe any faster.
A rainbow light appeared in front of them, and they arrived at the Bifrost.
The light emitted by the Bifrost Bridge was gentle and beautiful. It could not be considered a source of light. In the entire Top Realm, only the four scales had light sources. The Bifrost Bridge could at most be considered a source of light. It could only illuminate the furthest corners.
Although the Bifrost's light only illuminated a corner, it formed a city at the edge of the Top World. There was a considerable number of people living in that city, and they relied on the Bifrost's light to exist. Among them, there were people from the Four Sides of the Scale. They inspected the people who stepped into the Top World from the Bifrost, just like how people came up the ladder to be inspected.
Qing Chen was not interested in entering the city, so they landed not far from the Bifrost and allowed Lu Yin to use his root of wisdom.
Lu Yin had used the Wisdom Root several times, but this was the first time he had used it in front of others, so he felt rather uncomfortable.
When Huigen brewed tea, it would normally take three sips.
Even Qing Chen coveted this kind of tea.
After the first mouthful, Lu Yin's thoughts were clear, and even his gaze was much clearer. He tried his best to recall what he had seen when he had fused with the other person.
When he had fused with the other person, he had only been concerned with fear, and all he had seen was countless terror ants being swallowed along with him. He had not been able to see his surroundings clearly, but as long as the scene had appeared, it would remain in his mind. Now, he relied on his Wisdom Root to recall the scene and try his best to find clues that could lead him to the anteater.
To be honest, he was not confident, but the anteater did exist, so he could only try.
Qing Chen would not blame him for failing.
Closing his eyes, Lu Yin's thoughts crossed the river of time and returned to the scene when he had fused with the other person. The huge mouthpart had swallowed him, and around him, countless terror ants had been swept up by the tentacles. There was also a foul stench. He froze the scene and tried his best to recall the surroundings. He raised his hand and drew in the void, drawing some of the surrounding plants, landforms, and even the exposed figure of the anteater.
Qing Chen stared at the scene that Lu Yin had drawn, especially at one of the plants, which had been swept up by the tentacles along with the surrounding terror ants. Lu Yin could not have paid attention to it at first, but now, with the help of his Wisdom Root, he could see it clearly and draw it. He did not know what kind of plant it was, or perhaps it was just a very ordinary grass, but as long as it appeared, he would draw it.
Opening his eyes, Lu Yin looked in front of him and drew many things in the void.
Qing Chen spoke in a low voice, "The Sixth District."
Lu Yin was surprised, "How did you know?"
Qing Chen looked at the plants that he had drawn, "This is the Qing Cang Leaf, and it can only be found in the Sixth District. A half-ancestor creature called Qing Cang appeared in the Sixth District, and after it was killed, its blood watered the soil and gave birth to the Qing Cang Leaf."
At this point, he felt strange, "You accompanied Long Xi to pay respects to the Ancestral Mang, so how did you end up in the Sixth District?"
Lu Yin replied, "We were chased by the Boundless Realm back then, and we don't even know where we went."
Qing Chen looked at Lu Yin deeply. The Third and Sixth Districts were separated by a great distance, and even traveling to the Sixth District normally was not easy, let alone being chased there. Both the Mortal Realm and the Reverse Battlefield were terrifying places. The Reverse Battlefield was because of the war, and the Mortal Realm was because of the numerous beasts. Humans were nothing more than ants there.
Qing Chen did not ask any more questions. He guessed that this might have something to do with Half-Ancestor Kui Luo. Could this kid's inheritance have come from the Mortal Realm?
It was not impossible, as no one knew where Kui Luo had died.
Everyone had their own secrets, so Qing Chen did not ask any further. Lu Yin relaxed, as he did not know how to cover up his lie, so he could only play dumb.
"There are still two more mouthfuls of Wisdom Root Tea. Hurry up and use them," Qing Chen said before moving away as far as he could.
Lu Yin was grateful, and he looked at the Wisdom Root Tea in his hand and took a sip. He had already thought of what to comprehend with the tea, and it was the control of star energy.
Looking at all the battle techniques that he had mastered, the Emptiness Palm had temporarily reached its peak, and there was no way to continue cultivating the Sirius Art. No matter how miraculous the Wisdom Root Tea was, it could not help him create the Sirius Art out of thin air. The Nine Yang Cauldron Transformation and the Arcane Art of Life and Death could not be broken through with the Wisdom Root Tea. Battle force required courage, and innate talent required experience. Lu Yin did not know how to cultivate his domain to the Void Spirit Realm. He had no clue, and no matter how smart someone was, it would be useless.
The only thing that could be broken through with the help of the Wisdom Root Tea was his control of star energy.
On the other side of the battlefield, he had repaired the source awl and controlled the red glow, which had brought him great value. His control of star energy was not only useful in battle, but also in lockbreaking. The path of lockbreaking was vast and boundless, and the sight of Limitless Kinetic Energy had a huge impact on Lu Yin. That sourcebox array had protected the entire human race.
Even if he studied it for ten thousand years, he would not be able to understand Limitless Kinetic Energy. This required learning, star energy control, and experience.
It was also when he had seen Limitless Kinetic Energy that his passion for lockbreaking had been reignited. He hoped that one day, he would be able to set up a sourcebox array that would benefit the entire human race.
Fortunately, during his battle with the Corpse Kings in the New World, Lu Yin had encountered a Corpse King whose control of star energy had reached the Profound Creation Realm, which had given him some clues. Furthermore, he had once witnessed Drunkard's usage of star energy, so he could use the Wisdom Root Tea to further his comprehension.
One flower, one world. At the end of the microscopic world was the macroscopic world. No one knew how big the universe was; perhaps the boundless universe they saw was just a grain of sand. The Profound Creation Realm was being born based on this concept. Every bit of star energy was its own world, and it could be used to create the macroscopic world. This was the Profound Creation Realm.
One day, two days, three days … Soon, seven days had passed.
The Wisdom Root Tea lasted for only a short time, but the enlightenment that came from the Wisdom Root Tea would take even longer.
In the distance, Qing Chen saw Lu Yin raise his hand and condense his star energy into water droplets that shook the air. Ripples slowly spread out, and then a bell rang out. Qing Chen was shocked; Lu Yin was actually comprehending star energy control?
This kid's control of star energy had already reached the World Realm, and he had seen the concepts of the microscopic and macroscopic worlds. However, he still needed to reach the Profound Creation Realm in order to truly utilize star energy. Qing Chen wondered if two sips of Wisdom Root Tea would be enough for him to succeed.
If he succeeded, then this kid's future lockbreaking potential would be even greater.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and drank the last sip of Wisdom Root Tea without hesitation, continuing his enlightenment.
Another ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Yin had spent half a month using the Wisdom Root Tea to comprehend the Profound Creation Realm. Qing Chen did not rush him, as this was a rare opportunity.
Qing Chen's eyes flashed when he saw the drop of star energy at Lu Yin's fingertip distort the void and absorb a leaf. It then disappeared before reappearing. Was this … the Profound Creation Realm?
Qing Chen looked at Lu Yin. Even as a Half-Ancestor, he was shocked by Lu Yin's talent. If this kid continued cultivating, he might even become a Half-Ancestor in the future. All he lacked was breaking through the three stages.
Lu Yin opened his eyes again and looked at his fingertip in pleasant surprise. He had truly reached the Profound Creation Realm in terms of star energy control. This feeling was truly wondrous, and his surroundings were completely different.
In the past, star energy had only been a form of energy. Now, however, star energy was a life form in his eyes. It was a world, a universe, and he was confident that he could create a maze that could trap Deadworm.
If he could magnify star energy countless times, would he be able to create a world for humans to live in?
This seemed to be a path of cultivation.
No, star energy was only a single form of energy, and it could not become a place for living things to live in. If a creature wanted to live, it needed to be far more complicated, and it was not something he could imagine.
This was just an attack method, a lockbreaking method.
If he could absorb everything that a creature needed into star energy, then wouldn't he be able to create a world?
It was a crazy idea, but Lu Yin felt that it was feasible.
"The Profound Creation Realm in terms of star energy control. Once we tell Grandmaster Deng Guo that you've reached this realm, he won't hesitate to take you in as a disciple," Qing Chen praised.
Lu Yin smiled. "Let's leave it to fate. Superintendent, we've wasted quite a bit of time. Shall we head to the Sixth District?"
Qing Chen nodded and led Lu Yin towards the Bifrost.
Not long after, the two of them followed the Bifrost to the Mortal Realm and officially left the Top Realm.
The Bifrost covered a large area, and they were not the only ones going to the Mortal Realm at the same time. However, they were separated by a great distance.
This was Lu Yin's second time on the Bifrost, and he still remembered the confusion and curiosity he had felt the first time.
