The four suns did not seem very powerful, but Jie Shan's Chief could sense an extraordinary aura.
He stared at the four suns. "It's not complete. This feeling … it's not complete."
Lu Yin casually dispersed the four suns. "Of course it's not complete. What can Senior see?"
Jie Shan's Chief smiled bitterly. "With my cultivation, how can I see an unparalleled battle technique that can tempt even Progenitors? However, I just have a feeling that it's not complete, but it's still palpitating. Sometimes, the higher you go, the more you can feel something watching you. Your Nine Cauldrons battle technique gives me the same feeling. It has a life of its own."
Lu Yin felt goosebumps. "Senior, battle technique … has a life of its own?"
Jie Shan's Chief was also a little scared. "I don't know. It's just a feeling that it's watching me."
Lu Yin's scalp went numb.
"Let's go to the Daosource Sect's ruins. As a cultivator from the Fifth Mainland, you should visit them," Jie Shan's Chief said.
Lu Yin immediately took out two futons, one for each person, and then instructed the Valley Master, the Sword Attendant, and the Luo Emperor. He then sat down with Jie Shan's Chief and disappeared, entering the Fifth Mainland's Daosource Sect ruins.
The Daosource Sect's ruins were quite mysterious, and no one knew its exact location. However, the Sixth Mainland, Technocracy, and Human Domain could all be entered.
Lu Yin had not tested whether or not he could enter the Cosmic Tree Domain, but he could try it next time.
He was not worried about being discovered in the Technocracy, as the existence of the futon was a secret to the Fifth Mainland, but not to the Sixth Mainland. The Technocracy might know about it.
Lu Yin entered the Daosource Sect ruins and appeared in First Divine Gate's futon plaza. Jie Shan's Chief also appeared in First Divine Gate's futon plaza.
Jie Shan's Chief looked around, and he felt a sense of novelty. At the same time, he recalled the records of the Fifth Mainland's Daosource Sect.
"The Fifth Mainland's former ruler has now fallen to such a state. What a pity." Jie Shan's Chief sighed.
In the distance, several cultivators from the Sixth Mainland looked at him. One of them stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Junior Liu Fei from the Bloodburn Realm greets Senior."
Jie Shan's Chief looked at Liu Fei. "What is it?"
"Senior, may I ask if you have any instructions for us in the Daosource Sect's ruins? If you do, this junior will not refuse," Liu Fei said solemnly. At this moment, the others also stepped forward and bowed.
Ever since Lu Yin had exposed the Nine Cauldrons' battle technique, the Sixth Mainland had frequently sent experts from the older generation to enter the Daosource Sect. In the past, very few of the older generation's powerhouses had come here, as the opportunities had been left to the younger generation to explore. This had also been the case when they were younger, and it had been an unspoken rule. However, Lu Yin had allowed the Sixth Mainland to break this rule, which had made it so that the older generation's powerhouses were no longer as difficult to find. Thus, the Sixth Mainland's cultivators had gradually stopped paying attention to the Daosource Sect's ruins, and instead, they had been waiting to see if any of the older generation's powerhouses had entered the ruins so that they could use this opportunity to establish a relationship with them.
After all, it was too difficult to obtain anything from the Daosource Sect's ruins, and this place had already been explored countless times by countless people.
"I don't have any orders. You may go," the chief of Jie Mountain said lightly.
These cultivators from the Sixth Mainland were unwilling to accept this. They still wanted to say something, but they realized that the Chief of Realm Mountain had disappeared.
Lu Yin stepped into the First Divine Gate alone and arrived at the Budding Terrace to wait for the Chief Seat of World Mountain.
Very quickly, the first seat of Jie Mountain arrived.
"Brat, since I came in with you, will I be leaving with you as well?" the chief suddenly asked.
Lu Yin was stunned, as he had forgotten that the length of time one spent in the Daosource Sect's ruins depended on one's spiritual force, and it was not fixed.
He would be able to leave after a month, but that might not be the case for the Chief Seat of World Mountain.
"Senior, your spiritual force shouldn't be that strong, right?" Lu Yin asked expectantly as he nervously looked at the chief.
The chief thought for a moment before replying, "I'm not good at spiritual force."
Lu Yin relaxed.
"But it's more than enough to destroy you, brat," the chief said.
Lu Yin's heart sank, as it was over. He had forgotten about that. It was easy to enter, but difficult to leave. With the chief's strength, it would be normal for him to stay here for a few months. Could it be that he would have to stay in a city for a few months?
Then what was the point of coming here?
It would have been better if he had not come in at all, as that would have been a waste of time.
The Second Nightking and Emperor Liu were currently at the Ross Empire's stronghold. If Lu Yin did not return for a long time, who knew what would happen? The Second Nightking should be fine, as he was afraid of the Sealed Cage Technique, but Emperor Liu might not be, as those two were different from the flying willow leaves.
Lu Yin was helpless, as he had already entered, and he could only take things one step at a time. He still held onto some hope, as he had been able to stay here for about a month when he was still far inferior to the Ten Arbiters. After returning from the Astral Tree Domain, his spiritual force had greatly increased, and he could still stay here for that long. Perhaps he could only stay in the Daosource Sect's ruins for a little more than a month?
Lu Yin could only console himself like this.
For the sake of the Nine Cauldrons' battle technique, Lu Yin quickly brought the chief over. Along the way, he introduced the Budding Terrace, Heaven's Pit, Medicine God's Palace, the library, the Beginner's Enlightenment Platform, and other places.
Lu Yin warned, "Senior, these are the ruins of the Daosource Sect, and even Progenitors have been slaughtered here. The reason why the Sixth Mainland's older powerhouses do not enter is because they want to leave their opportunities to the younger generation, but also because accidents can easily occur here. Senior, it's best if you don't explore carelessly."
The chief gritted his teeth. "Why didn't you say that before we came in?"
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "I forgot."
"Brat, you're very cunning. It's no wonder that you were able to unify the Outerverse," the chief said hatefully, but he did not argue with Lu Yin. That was how cultivators were; if they only cared about others, what was the point of cultivating?
That kind of character would have died many times over.
The Nine Cauldrons' space would not always be guarded by the same person. Since Lu Yin had obtained the opportunity, the various great powers of the Sixth Mainland had become envious, and they all wanted to occupy the Nine Cauldrons' space and explore it. Thus, they would change the guards every once in a while, and they would also pay particular attention to who was allowed to enter and who was not.
Previously, it had been the Arrow Sect's Brute Force, who had allowed the Arrow Sect and the Secret Progenitor Realm's cultivators to enter. It was very difficult for cultivators from the Progenitor of Martial Realm and the Progenitor of Blood Realm to enter. This time, the person guarding the Nine Cauldrons' space was an ancestor from the Blackblood Realm's Eyeless Clan, who was also a Cosmic Imprinter.
Brute Force had been defeated by Lu Yin, which had caused Lu Yin to shatter another cauldron. This incident had been a warning to the Sixth Mainland, which was why, from that moment on, the person guarding the Nine Cauldrons' space was at least a Cosmic Imprinter.
This was the highest standard that the Sixth Mainland could bring out, and it was impossible for a Cosmic Imprinter to personally guard it. Not all Cosmic Imprinters cared about the Nine Cauldrons' battle techniques, and Guru Qing Hua was not one of them.
The fact that a Cosmic Imprinter was allowed to guard the Nine Cauldrons' space was enough to show how much importance the Sixth Mainland placed on Lu Yin.
Unfortunately, they still did not place enough importance on him.
Within the Nine Cauldrons' space, Ancestor Eyeless faced Jie Shan's chief with a dazed expression and a halo of light revolving behind him.
This halo of light was Ancestor Eyeless' innate gift, and it could transfer everything within the halo to a place where one's gaze could reach. Lu Yin and the others had suffered a loss during the Astral River Border War.
With Ancestor Eyeless' power, the halo should have been invincible, but he was facing Jie Shan's chief.
This person was from the same generation as Elder Chan, and he was a terrifying expert who could rival the Sixth Mainland's Cosmic Imprinters. He was an unfathomable expert who had claimed that even the Sixth Mainland's Four Reverends could not deal with him. He had shattered the halo of light with a single step and then knocked Ancestor Eyeless unconscious. Ancestor Eyeless did not even have time to imprint.
Aside from Ancestor Eyeless, there were more than ten other cultivators within the Nine Cauldrons' space. They were all youths, and they had all fainted in an instant.
"This old man is not bad. If we hadn't caught him off guard, it would have taken some effort to knock him out," Jie Shan's chief said in astonishment as he looked at Ancestor Eyeless, who had fainted on the ground.
Lu Yin replied, "He's a powerhouse with a power level of a million, and he's on the same level as Master Yuan."
"They're on the same level." Jie Shan's chief looked up at the six cauldrons in the distance. "Didn't you say there were nine cauldrons?
Why are there only six? "
"Three were shattered," Lu Yin replied.
Jie Shan's chief was puzzled. "Shattered?
How did they shatter? "
Lu Yin told him the truth, and Jie Shan's chief looked Lu Yin up and down. "Kid, you didn't shatter them on purpose, did you? So that others won't be able to learn them."
"Senior, if this junior had the ability to do so, then I wouldn't have asked for your help," Lu Yin said helplessly.
Jie Shan's chief thought about it and agreed. When the Fifth Mainland's Daosource Sect had still existed, the Nine Cauldrons had already been very famous, and it was not something that Lu Yin alone could shatter.
"Three were shattered, and the fragments should have been taken away by the Sixth Mainland," Lu Yin said. He then leapt towards the fourth cauldron and entered it. "This junior is going to cultivate, so please help me guard this place."
Jie Shan's chief acknowledged his request and walked towards the fifth cauldron. He looked at it for a while before entering it, as he also wanted to see if he could learn anything from it.
The Nine Cauldrons' space was not a place that ordinary cultivators could enter. Those who were qualified to enter had already done so, and the rest had no intention of going.
Lu Yin absorbed the cauldron's aura, and soon, more than half a month had passed. There was a rumble as the fourth cauldron fell and shattered.
Jie Shan's chief stared at the shattered fourth cauldron in shock. He had personally witnessed the shattering of the Nine Cauldrons, which had been passed down since ancient times. Although the cauldrons were small, they had caused a great shock.
The shattering of the fourth cauldron startled Ancestor Eyeless awake.
Ancestor Eyeless stood up with an aghast expression. "The cauldron shattered, Lu —" He had only said one word when he was knocked unconscious by Jie Shan's chief. "How troublesome. You didn't control your strength enough. Be more careful next time."
Lu Yin looked at the shattered fourth cauldron and then turned around to look behind him. There were still five cauldrons left. His figure flashed, and he appeared within the fifth cauldron. Time was not up yet, so he continued.
Jie Shan's chief did not speak to Lu Yin. Instead, he lowered his head and picked up a fragment of the cauldron. He squeezed it hard, causing it to shatter even more. He was shocked; how could it be so brittle?
Over the past half a month, he had tried to shatter the fifth cauldron, but he had not been able to do so. However, now that the cauldron had shattered, it was actually very brittle. Could it be that after shattering, some substance had disappeared?
He looked at the fifth cauldron thoughtfully. This brat should be absorbing that substance.
It wasn't just Jie Shan's chief; even the Sixth Mainland had thought of this possibility. However, they could not absorb it, as the substance that prevented them from destroying the cauldron was too attractive.
Soon, a few more days passed, and a youth stepped into the Nine Cauldrons' space with an arrogant expression. He was a newly promoted Realmling, and all Realmlings were allowed to enter the Nine Cauldrons' space in search of opportunities. This was the first time he had stepped into the Nine Cauldrons' space after becoming a Realmling, and he was filled with anticipation and excitement. He was also filled with a desire to learn the Nine Cauldrons' battle techniques. After entering, he fainted before he could even see anything clearly.
