Controlling the Sixth Mainland's cultivators and using their identities to enter the Technocracy will be very easy. All we need to do is find that route, and even if we can't find it, we can just kidnap the Sixth Mainland's cultivators and return. We won't be in any danger, and the worst case scenario is that we'll be exposed. I was able to leave the Technocracy alive, and Everlasting Sky Island's disciples also barged into the Technocracy. With Senior's strength, as long as you don't attack a city or attack the mainframe, you'll be fine, "Lu Yin said.
When he saw that Jie Shan was still hesitating, Lu Yin continued, "Even if we're exposed, as long as the Sixth Mainland doesn't want to start a war with the Fifth Mainland, they'll protect our lives. Our identities aren't simple."
Jie Shan looked at the Sixth Mainland's cultivators in the distance and then back at Lu Yin. "I'm curious. Why do you want to go to the Genesis Academy?"
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "Because I've seen the Eternals."
Jie Shan's eyes widened. With his status, he naturally knew about the Eternals. The Fifth Mainland's Eternals were taboo, and the more they were taboo, the more the Fifth Mainland feared them. If not for Ancestor Hui's scheme, then the Fifth Mainland would have been the one to suffer.
"I've seen the Eternals, the endless battlefield, and the sorrow of humanity. I don't want the Fifth Mainland to repeat the same mistakes. If the Neohuman Alliance really is colluding with the Genesis Academy, then the threat will be too great," Lu Yin said.
Jie Shan's chief did not understand Lu Yin. If it had been the head inquisitor, Elder Chan, or the Elysian Heavenly Master, they definitely would not have believed Lu Yin's words. However, Jie Shan's chief was different. He rarely left Jie Shan and spent most of his time in seclusion. He did not care about worldly affairs, and he did not know much about the internet. What he knew about Lu Yin came from Elder Chan's descriptions.
Elder Chan had a good impression of Lu Yin, and Jie Shan's chief had a good impression of Lu Yin as well.
Now, he was looking at an elite youth who was willing to take risks and infiltrate enemy territory for the sake of humanity's future. Even though he did not want to take the risk, Jie Shan's chief could not refute Lu Yin's suggestion, so he finally agreed.
The most troublesome part was how to control the Sixth Mainland's cultivators. If they did not do well, then they would be sold out in a city.
"Senior, is there a way to control those people?" Lu Yin asked.
Jie Shan's First Seat turned around and came to the front of the Valley Master's sword attendant, looking down from above.
The valley master's swordsman's eyes flickered. "What are you trying to do?"
"I have an innate gift called 'Spinning a Cocoon and Getting Caught in My Own Cocoon.' To put it bluntly, I can place Astral Sources into my opponent's body in the form of a cocoon. If my opponent's cultivation doesn't surpass mine, they will be instantly devoured by the cocoon. Regardless of whether it's their Astral Sources, their cyclones, their flesh, or even their clothes, they will all be devoured." As he spoke, he casually slapped the shoulder of a cultivator from the Sixth Mainland.
The cultivator was confused at first, but then he suddenly screamed as white threads appeared on the surface of his body and wrapped around him. The white threads then turned red and gradually shrunk until they finally solidified into something the size of an ant.
Lu Yin's expression changed. What a vicious innate gift! That white cocoon seemed to be able to devour everything, and it seemed to be extremely painful and cruel. Lu Yin had never thought that Jie Shan's innate gift would be so vicious. He had used a living person as an example in just a few sentences without any change in expression.
This was a true cultivator. They were ruthless, decisive, and ruthless. They believed in the rule of the strong and treated life as grass.
At that moment, the way Lu Yin looked at Jie Shan's chief changed. He was no longer as casual as before. There was a strong sense of fear in the depths of his eyes.
This old man was not easy to talk to.
Lu Yin wasn't the only one who was frightened. Even Luo Huang and the other cultivators from the Sixth Mainland were frightened.
The Valley Master's swordsman went deathly pale as he stared at the ant-like red object on the ground in horror. That was a living person, and he had been dealt with just like that. He had killed many people in his cultivation journey, but only when faced with such a situation did he truly understand what fear and despair were.
"What, what do you want?" The swordsman was aghast.
Jie Shan's chief smiled and then slapped the swordsman's shoulder. The swordsman was shocked. "Stop! What are you doing?"
"Relax, I'm not doing anything to you. I'm just planting a cocoon in your body. Be obedient, and the cocoon will definitely be fine. If you try anything funny, I'll just think about it and you-" Jie Shan's chief pointed at the red object on the ground.
The swordsman's eyes flickered, and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead. On this barren planet, even with his strength as an Emissary, he found it difficult to breathe.
"I don't mind telling you that a Half-Progenitor once tried to forcefully break through my innate gift, but he failed." Jie Shan's chief sneered. "That test subject was just like the one on the ground and was completely devoured. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Sixth Mainland's Four Sovereigns to take action and see if they can break through my innate gift. Right, it would be best if a Progenitor could do it."
"What exactly do you want?" the swordsman roared, looking at Jie Shan's chief in horror.
Lu Yin stepped forward. "We're going to Yiben City."
The swordsman was shocked. "Yiben City? What exactly do you want?"
"Don't worry, we won't make things difficult for you. We just want to borrow Yiben City's route to the Genesis Academy. Once we reach Yiben City, we'll think of a way to leave. All you need to do is promise not to say anything. Otherwise, with just a thought, you'll die no matter how far away you are. This is the Hall of Honor's Chief Jie Shan, and his power level is …" Lu Yin looked at Jie Shan's chief, as he did not know how powerful this old man was.
Jie Shan's chief's lips curled up. "Only the Daosource Sect's Four Sovereigns can fight against me on your Sixth Mainland."
The swordsman's fingers trembled. "How do I know that you won't kill me after you leave?"
"You can write down this information and hand it over to someone else. If anything happens to you, then make it public. We don't want to be surrounded by Yiben City and the Genesis Academy in the Technocracy. Contact me when you return to the Sixth Mainland. I, Lu Yin, will not change my promise. Regardless of whether we return safely or not, we will not act against you."
The swordsman hesitated.
"You don't have the right to consider it," Lu Yin said coldly.
The swordsman closed his eyes. "What about them?"
He was referring to the people who had followed him to the Sixth Mainland.
"Of course we're going together. Whether or not they'll tell anyone else is up to you. In any case, if we're exposed for no reason other than ourselves, then you're dead," Lu Yin threatened.
"Deal with a few of them first," Jie Shan's chief said. He then pointed at a few of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators. "Deal with them."
The cultivators who had been pointed at were shocked. "No, we won't say anything. We won't say anything."
The swordsman clenched his fist and turned around. With a sweep of his hand, the cultivators who had been pointed at were decapitated, and they died on the spot.
The rest of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators trembled and fell to the ground in fear, not daring to watch any longer.
Jie Shan's chief smiled in satisfaction. "That's more like it."
Lu Yin looked at Jie Shan's chief deeply.
The longer one cultivated, the more ruthless their methods would become. If one thought that these old fellows were slow, then they would be truly foolish. The Frozen Immortal Sect's ruins were currently being pursued by the Second Nightking, and Elder Jiu Shen had long since made preparations to deal with them. Every single one of them had more tricks up their sleeves than anyone else. Lu Yin raised his guard, as he could not underestimate these old fellows.
Hmm?
Jie Shan's chief suddenly waved his hand, and one of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators was sent flying while still holding onto a yellow prayer mat.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. A prayer mat?
He waved his hand, and the Yu Secret Art prayer mat disappeared from that cultivator's hand and reappeared in his own.
"Isn't that a secret technique from the Seven Courts' Yu family?" Jie Shan's chief was astonished.
Lu Yin smiled. "The Yu family is hiding in the Outerverse, and it was taught to me by them." He then picked up the prayer mat and looked up at that cultivator.
The cultivator's face was ashen, and he looked at the prayer mat with unwillingness.
"What makes you think that you can escape?
Do you think that we don't understand? "Lu Yin smiled at the cultivator.
The Valley Master's swordsman's eyes flashed, and he stared at the cultivator with a sharp gaze. He suddenly attacked and easily killed the cultivator.
"This person joined my Sword Valley not too long ago, and he was previously a wandering cultivator. His thoughts are unstable, and it's hard to guarantee that he won't say anything," the Valley Master's swordsman explained. He had revealed the Sixth Mainland's secret, and he had also been caught in a trap of his own making. He naturally wanted to eliminate all unstable factors, as this concerned his own life and death.
Lu Yin looked at the prayer mat in his hand. That person had thought things through very well. He had sat on the prayer mat and left, heading towards the ruins of the Fifth Mainland's Daosource Sect. If Lu Yin and the others did not understand the prayer mat, then they might not have waited for him in the same spot, and he might have been able to escape.
Wandering cultivators competed with the heavens and the earth, but they were even more adept at competing with others. The disciples of large sects had an advantage in resources and battle techniques, while wandering cultivators had an advantage in intelligence and methods.
After obtaining another prayer mat, Lu Yin's gaze swept past Luo Huang and then back to Jie Shan's chief. He could now ask someone to help him enter the Nine Cauldrons' space. The Sixth Mainland had definitely sent experts to stand guard, and they did not want him to come into contact with the Nine Cauldrons. If he could bring Jie Shan's chief in, then he would be able to absorb the cauldron qi again unless the Sixth Mainland sent four Great Elders.
Absorbing the cauldron qi was becoming more and more difficult, and it was very troublesome.
Following the valley master's sword servants, Lu Yin and the others disguised themselves. Jie Shan's chief did not need to worry, as the only person in the entire Technocracy who could sense his true cultivation was probably the power that Elder Chan was afraid of. However, that power could not possibly keep an eye on them, as even the machines that could monitor the entire Technocracy would not be able to sense Jie Shan's cultivation. What worried Lu Yin was the Envoys who had followed him.
"You really haven't thought of anything. One wrong step and we'll be in danger. Let me tell you something — if we run into any danger in the Technocracy, I'll first protect my own life," Jie Shan's chief said.
Lu Yin smiled. "Senior is here, so everything is up to you. How can this junior's thoughts compare to Senior's?"
Jie Shan's chief rolled his eyes. "I want to return to the Glory Realm even more." He then added, "It's fine even if they find out."
Lu Yin was flabbergasted and did not understand. "Why?"
"Ask them yourself." Jie Shan's chief gestured.
Lu Yin looked at the three Envoys who had followed Jie Shan's chief here. From the moment they had met until now, they had not spoken at all. Lu Yin had asked them a few times, but they had not responded.
"They're androids," Luo Huang said.
Lu Yin was shocked. "Androids?"
