'Liu Qianjue' tossed the ferocious blue-eyed frog away and calmly said, "Immediately draft a list of outstanding disciples and hand it over to the Great Eastern Alliance. Following the conclusion of the Outerverse war, the Great Eastern Alliance not only managed to fend off the Astral Beast Domain's invasion, but they also managed to take back a territory in the east from the Sixth Mainland. With dozens of Envoys following him, there's nothing that can stop Lu Yin's footsteps. Since that's the case, my Sword Sect cannot fall behind."
"Notify the entire sect that from today onwards, I will be a disciple of the Sword Sect of the Great Eastern Alliance. I will add the words' Great Eastern Alliance 'to my name."
Elder Li was stunned. "Sect Leader, this …"
'Liu Qianjue' turned around and stared at Elder Li. His terrifying aura immediately pressed Elder Li to the ground. "What's wrong? You're not listening to me?"
Elder Li half-knelt on the ground, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. "I wouldn't dare. This disciple will take care of it now."
'Liu Qianjue' nodded in satisfaction. "Tell Lianxin that she can leave the Sword Sect if she doesn't want to join the Great Eastern Alliance. No one will spoil her." After speaking, Lu Yin's consciousness withdrew from the fusion and returned to his body.
At this moment, Elder Li was probably stunned. If he really did as Lu Yin had said, then the entire Sword Sect would be stunned. No, the entire Innerverse would be stunned, especially Elder Lian Xin. The Sword Sect had clearly joined the Innerverse, but she still wanted to become independent.
Two fusions of six points had consumed a total of 100 million star essence. To be honest, it was not bad since they had both been fused within the Innerverse. If they had been fused within the Cosmic Tree Domain, then the consumption would have been even greater.
He sat at the bottom of the river and rested for ten days before continuing to roll the die.
Four pips. This pip was very easy to get, second only to one pip.
He entered the Time Stop Space once more, but he wasn't in a hurry to cultivate. Instead, he continued to roll his die as he thought of something that he needed to improve. The pill skin that the Medicine Immortal had given him was said to be able to withstand attacks with a power level of a million. He didn't have any defensive items on him right now, and he would be in danger if he encountered a powerful enemy. With his current strength, only experts with a power level of a million would be able to deal with him.
As long as he entered the Time Stop Space, he would definitely be able to roll 3 pips.
The first time at five o 'clock, it was useless.
The second time, it was still useless.
Lu Yin had originally not planned on using it since he had already finished dissecting everything in Ironwood City. But then, he suddenly recalled something: the metal from the Ten Thousand Beasts Cage.
Legend had it that this strange metal had once brought disaster to the Fourth Mainland. He wondered if he could break it down into something.
When he thought of this, he retrieved a fragment from his cosmic ring.
Lu Yin had asked the cultivators from the Sixth Mainland to gather a large amount for him. He stored a batch in his cosmic ring, stored another batch in Frostwave Weave, and sent another batch to Yiben City. Yiben City was very concerned about this.
Since it was metal, then it could be decomposed. Lu Yin took out a piece of metal and placed it into the decomposing whirlpool. The metal fell to the ground with a clang, indicating that it had not been decomposed.
This was the first time the decomposition vortex had failed. Either it wasn't metal and couldn't be decomposed, or it was metal in its most fundamental state and couldn't be decomposed.
Was this thing made of metal?
He looked at the Myriad Beasts Cage in his hand; if he couldn't break it down, then what about upgrading it?
He rested for ten days in the Time Stop Space before rolling his die once more. This time, it was a smooth roll as he rolled Enhance.
Lu Yin took out the pill skin and placed it on the screen. He didn't know whether or not it could be upgraded, but as he thought about it, he madly tossed out star essence. Even if something like this could be upgraded, the cost would be astronomical.
Ten million, fifty million, a hundred million star crystals.
The marrow was constantly being consumed, and the pill skin decreased. Although it didn't seem like much, as long as it decreased, it meant that it could be upgraded.
Lu Yin did some calculations, and based on the current decrease, he would need at least four billion star essence to completely upgrade it.
That was an astronomical figure!
The further he went, the more precious the items would be, and the more resources he would need to upgrade it.
Four billion star essence was not unacceptable for an item with a power level of a million, and Lu Yin no longer hesitated. In any case, he had nearly thirty billion star essence on him, and he could still transfer them from the Mavis Bank, so he wasn't short on money for the time being.
Four billion star essence was consumed, and the pill skin fell to the ground. Lu Yin picked it up and applied some force, but it didn't leave a mark.
The pill skin had been able to withstand attacks with a power level of a million before it had been upgraded, and now, it was even higher than before. It wasn't something that Lu Yin could break through.
A power level of a million was a threshold, and it was even more dangerous to cross than breaking through to become an Emissary.
The pill skin should still be able to be upgraded, so Lu Yin placed it back on top of the pill skin. He used up more than seven billion star essence this time, which added up to nearly twelve billion star essence. The pill skin had become slightly thicker, but its style was too ugly, and it looked like a raincoat.
Lu Yin didn't know if it could be upgraded again, so he put it away for now. He then placed the piece of metal from the Myriad Beasts Cage on top of the pill skin and started tossing in star essence, his eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.
The metal from the Myriad Beasts Cage could be upgraded, and Lu Yin's eyes lit up as he threw in more star essence without hesitation.
200 million star essence was spent, and the metal from the Myriad Beasts Cage had only been upgraded once. There wasn't much change after the upgrade, and it had only grown a little longer.
To be honest, Lu Yin didn't expect this thing to be of much help to him. He was just curious, and he wanted to see what this thing that had once brought disaster to the Fourth Mainland looked like. The Myriad Beasts Cage was definitely not its true form.
He continued upgrading it.
The second upgrade, 400 million star essence.
The third upgrade, 800 million star essence.
The fourth upgrade, 1.5 billion star essence.
The fifth upgrade, 3.2 billion star essence.
With each upgrade, the piece of metal grew a little longer. When the fifth upgrade ended, the metal suddenly twisted and connected head to tail, forming a circle that emitted a dark light.
Lu Yin watched quietly, and at that moment, he felt as if he was looking at life instead of metal.
The metal from the Myriad Beasts Cage suddenly leapt up and flew towards Lu Yin. He raised a hand and grabbed it, feeling a slight prickling pain in his palm. He looked at it and saw that there were many spikes protruding from the metal's surface that were trying to pierce through his palm. However, Lu Yin's physical strength was too strong, and the metal couldn't pierce through his palm at all. Still, he felt a slight prickling pain, which meant that the metal's sharpness was close to that of an Envoy.
It was said that this metal could increase its size and hardness by devouring flesh.
Even the Celestial Imprint would find it difficult to destroy something as large as the Myriad Beasts Cage. It was rumored that the metal that had brought disaster to the Fourth Mainland had been half the size of the Outerverse, and it had only been resolved by a Progenitor.
This was what Ya Mavis had said, and it had come from the ancient records of the Mavis Family. Lu Yin didn't know if it was true or not.
However, looking at the metal's posture, it seemed as if it wanted to devour his flesh.
This was a disaster, and Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. He wanted to destroy it, but then he thought of something, and his lips curled up. If this metal could bring disaster to the Fourth Mainland, then it could also bring disaster to others. It all depended on how it was used.
Furthermore, he had spent six billion star essence to upgrade this metal, so it would be a waste to destroy it just like that.
Lu Yin put away the metal.
Lu Yin checked his cosmic ring, and his expression turned ugly.
He had used up more than half of his star essence to upgrade just two items, and there were still ten billion star essence left in the ring. At his current level, it wasn't enough for him to do anything.
He needed to find a bigger cosmic ring and obtain more resources. The more, the better.
He discovered that even though he had broken through to the next level of star energy, his need for star essence had not decreased at all. In fact, it had increased to an exaggerated extent.
After upgrading what he needed, Lu Yin continued to cultivate the Inverse Step.
The might of Progenitor Chen's clone's Inverse Step fascinated Lu Yin.
After cultivating in the Time Stop Space for nearly a year, Lu Yin rolled his die and continued cultivating.
For more than half a month, Lu Yin rolled his die, and he rolled the Time Stop Space five times. He was rarely this crazy, and it was all because of the Inverse Step.
Five Time Stop Space meant that he had been cultivating for nearly five years.
Lu Yin's current Inverse Step's power far surpassed Qian Zou's, and it had already reached the level of disrupting the void. It was comparable to Progenitor Chen's peak Enlighter power, but everyone's understanding of battle techniques was different. Lu Yin did not know if there were any differences between his own Inverse Step and Progenitor Chen's.
He carefully recalled the effects of Progenitor Chen's Inverse Step during his Origin Tribulation. Right, he had forgotten. There was also the Wisdom Root. Although it was fake, it could allow him to clear his mind.
Lu Yin drank a cup of Wisdom Root Tea and carefully recalled his memories.
Now that he had cultivated the Inverse Step and had experienced it before, his understanding of it was completely different from before.
Lu Yin closed his eyes and recalled the time when he had undergone his Origin Tribulation. The first time he had seen Progenitor Chen use the Inverse Step to approach him, he had felt as if he had not just disrupted the void. Everything around him had changed, whether it was space or time.
Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes. Time?
Yes, it was time.
The Eon Flow Scripture was very mystical, and it was extremely difficult to rely on normal methods to break through to the Knowing Nirvana realm. However, Progenitor Chen's Inverse Step had not only nullified space, but it had also disrupted time and interrupted the Knowing Nirvana realm.
Time was something that everyone knew existed, but it could not be touched or changed. It was a kind of mighty force, and who could control time?
Wendy Yushan's innate gift was Time Reversal, which actually involved time.
Back during the Sovereign Tournament, she had been able to break through Zhiyi's Life Origin Qi. At that time, the difference between them had been like the heavens.
This was time, and divination was also connected to time. Everyone wanted to grasp the power of time, and Inverse Step meant that one could touch the power of time.
Progenitor Chen had been able to cultivate the Inverse Step to such an extent when he was only a peak Enlighter?
How long had he been cultivating?
No, he had to continue cultivating. If five years were not enough, then ten. If ten years were not enough, then twenty. Lu Yin did not believe that he could not do it.
Progenitor Chen's innate gift was top-notch, but he had relied on the strength of his nine clones to cultivate the Inverse Step. Without the Nine Clones Technique, Lu Yin did not believe that Progenitor Chen would have been able to reach such a level when he was still an Enlighter.
The Nine Clones Technique was the same as Lu Yin's Time Stop Space; they were both cheating tools in the cultivation world.
Lu Yin was about to continue rolling his die when he suddenly recalled the matter with the Board of Governors. This was a hidden space, so he could not receive any information from the outside world.
Lu Yin left the hidden space and went to the meteorite. He opened his gadget and found that many people were contacting him. More importantly, Big Sis had clashed with Nan Yuan.
While Lu Yin was cultivating the Inverse Step, Big Sis Lei Qingqing had arrived at World Mountain.
