Lu Yin pretended to be excited at Scarface's words and rubbed the back of his head. "I know, I'll work hard. I'll go back and cultivate." He then turned and left.
Scarface watched Xing Kai leave and was satisfied. "This kid is honest and loyal. He's not tied down by any power, so he's very suitable to join Team Yi."
"Yeah. Of the ten chosen, four are from that so-called Starry Sky of Trees, so there's no way they'll join us. I think Xing Kai is the best of the rest, and then there's that Dai Ao. He's a lot weaker than Xing Kai, but he's quite talented when it comes to training Battle Aura. His talent in gravity is also very suitable for Battle Aura," another member of Team Yi said.
Scarface smiled. "I think that girl is better. She has a unique way of fighting with battle force and can be a surprise attack. She's also good at healing, so she's most suitable to join us."
"That girl's personality isn't suitable for Team Yi, and that kind of healing method …" The member fell silent at this point.
Scarface was helpless. "Her healing method isn't easy to accept, but it's still acceptable. It'll depend on her own development. If she can enter the Lord's eyes today, she'll definitely become a top figure in this universe in the future. I'd like to see who has such luck."
…
On the other side, Lu Yin finally relaxed when he reached the pond. He had managed to fool them without being discovered. Now, all he had to do was wait for the nine to appear.
From their tone, it seemed that these two members of Team Yi had come specifically to train them. The Tianmen Convention was about to begin.
Lu Yin stepped into the pond and slowly closed his eyes. He would rest for a few days and let his die recover. He definitely didn't want to face the two members of Team Yi for the next few days.
In the Neoverse, where the Seven Courts used to be, it was now the headquarters of the Three Ultimates Sky Gate.
Hen Xin looked at Progenitor Chen's tomb with a calm expression. Ever since he had arrived, he had seen the tomb countless times.
The more he understood Progenitor Chen, the more amazed he was at his strength. Each of the nine clones had the power to fight against a Progenitor, and the nine clones had even killed more than one Progenitor. This was what the Fifth Mainland admired about Progenitor Chen.
What Hen Xin cared about was the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas.
The people of this era did not know much about the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, but it was different in his era. The Nine Mountains and Eight Seas were the top cultivators of the Progenitor Realm, infinitely close to the Three Realms and Six Paths. Progenitor Chen, on the other hand, dominated two mountains and one sea. Even in the era of the Above Heaven, he was the top cultivator.
"Perhaps you're already very close to becoming a Daolord," Hen Xin muttered.
Behind him, a figure walked out. It was Chu Yuan. "Why did the Sovereign return to Elysium?
Shouldn't they be at the frontlines? "
"The Tianmen Convention is about to begin. Leave the frontline battlefield to Wang Si and the others," Hen Xin said indifferently.
Chu Yuan walked to Hen Xin's side. Hen Xin frowned slightly. He was a Half Ancestor and Chu Yuan was just an Emissary. His attitude was a bit too much.
In the era of the Above Heaven Sect, the Daoist Children represented the heavens and were qualified to be on par with the leaders of the 12 Heavenly Gates. But now, the era was different.
"I saw Progenitor Chen burn Progenitor Nan with my own eyes, and the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Sect didn't dare to act rashly. It was an unparalleled heroic display," Chu Yuan exclaimed.
Hen Xin had heard of it before. "It's a pity that the sword is gone. I don't even know which era it was lost in."
"There's no rush. It'll appear sooner or later," Chu Yuan said. He had told Hen Xin about what had happened when he had traveled through time, but there was one thing that he hadn't mentioned: the Primogenitor's Scripture could control the sword. Even if he did, Hen Xin might not help him, and he might even force him to hand over the scripture.
Primogenitor.
The scripture was the key to controlling that sword.
He believed that He Luo Mavis wouldn't, and neither would Leng Qing. Ever since the Sky Blade Sect's Sect Master had returned, she had immediately entered the frontlines to protect the humans. However, the two Half Ancestors from the Sixth Mainland were more troublesome.
"How are your preparations? Are you confident that you can become the new Daoist?"
Hen Xin asked as he looked at Chu Yuan. He had been polite to Chu Yuan partly because he hoped that Chu Yuan could help him obtain his Fated Daughter's help.
Chu Yuan clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Progenitor Chen's tomb. "Whether it's this era or the era of the Above Heaven Sect, no one can take away the position of Daoist. I'm the only Daoist who has been received by the Primogenitor."
"That's good. I believe in you." Hen Xin nodded.
Chu Yuan's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but think of Lu Yin. That person was a monster. Although the two hadn't completely clashed, Chu Yuan had his own trump cards. However, Lu Yin had his own trump cards as well. He hadn't even used the Grim Reaper's power or the Lu family's power.
If Lu Yin was still around, then Chu Yuan would have some misgivings, but he was already dead. His only opponents were He Luo Mavis and Sky Ceylon.
…
In the Outerverse, on the Ancestral Tortoise's back, He Luo Mavis lay lazily on the trunk of a divine tree.
Below her, Yu Hua was looking at the flower in her hand. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Lass, do you blame me for stealing your opportunity?"
He Luo Mavis asked as she looked down at Yu Hua.
Yu Hua looked up and met He Luo Mavis' eyes. "What opportunity?"
"The competition for the position of Daoist." He Luo Mavis raised a brow.
Yu Hua didn't care, "Even if I went up, I wouldn't be able to beat Sky Ceylon. He was a Daoist of that era, just like you. He far surpassed me."
He Luo Mavis lay down again, "Actually, the competition for the position of Daoist is unfair to people of your era. We've been cultivating for longer than you, and strictly speaking, even without the Ice Seal, we're not from the same generation. But don't worry, even if I become a Daoist, I won't be for long.
I'll pass it on to you. "" Speaking of which, it's a pity that Lu Yin died. If he was still alive, he would be the only one in your era who could compete with us. "
Ascension Mavis looked up. Dead? Is he really dead?
What a pity.
…
In the Outerverse, Sky Ceylon walked out from the west and looked towards the south. He was determined to become a Daoist and make Ceylon's name shine again in this era. It was a pity that Lu Yin had died; otherwise, he would have shown Ceylon the difference between them.
…
Ten days passed by quickly, and Lu Yin raised his hand from the bottom of the pond. It was time to roll his die, and he tapped it with his finger. The die spun slowly before stopping. His luck was good, and it landed on four pips: Timestop.
The further he progressed, the longer it would take to stabilize his battle force.
After ten months in the Time Stop Space, six-lined battle force would completely fuse into his body, and his destructive power would be comparable to that of an Enlighter with a power level of over 200,000.
Lu Yin needed a year to stabilize his six-lined battle force. As for Xing Kai, according to the members of Team Yi, it took him five years to stabilize his battle force. That meant that he would need at least five years to stabilize his six-lined battle force, or even longer.
With Xing Kai's innate talent, even if he cultivated star energy, it would take him at least ten years to reach the level of an Enlighter from a Hunter's level of destructive power. If he hadn't started cultivating with his current level of strength, then he would have been able to reach the level of an Enlighter.
If he didn't cultivate star energy, then he would have to start from scratch. The time it would take for him to reach the level of an Enlighter was about the same as cultivating star energy.
Lu Yin felt that astral source was the most gentle and stable way to cultivate.
Battle force had high physical requirements, and it also required powerhouses like Team Yi to open up their physical strength. Death energy was even more difficult to cultivate, and it was difficult for ordinary people to cultivate it. If they weren't careful, they would fall into oblivion. Fate was unpredictable, and in comparison, astral source energy was the most suitable for everyone to cultivate.
Two months later, the Time Stop Space ended, and Lu Yin continued to roll his die.
On one pip, a Mavis Bank card fell out.
Lu Yin shook his head, as this thing was useless now. Most of the Mavis Bank was closed, and there was nowhere to withdraw money.
Again.
Four pips, and Lu Yin's eyes lit up. His luck was pretty good.
He entered the Time Stop Space again and continued to stabilize his seven-lined battle force.
Six lines would take a year, and he estimated that it would take at least one and a half years to stabilize his seven-lined battle force.
The scene in front of him changed, and Lu Yin walked out of the Time Stop Space. He was just a step away from completely fusing his seven-lined battle force into his body. He continued.
The die stopped at three pips, and two screens appeared.
Lu Yin was helpless. Even if he had something to upgrade, he didn't have the money.
He had to rest for another ten days.
…
Another ten days passed, and Lu Yin raised his hand and continued to roll his die.
When the die stopped at six pips, the scene in front of him changed again. Darkness flashed, and he returned to reality. He placed his cosmic ring to the side, as he didn't have any star essence. Even if he rolled six pips, it would be useless.
He continued, and the die spun once more.
On two pips, he had the innate gift of disintegration. There was nothing to disintegrate, so Lu Yin sighed and raised his hand again.
This was his third time rolling the die, and he could only roll it four times each time. He hoped that he would be able to roll four pips.
When the die slowly stopped at four pips, Lu Yin clenched his fists. Good luck.
He had been cultivating year after year, and he had been trying to stabilize his battle force for five years. After coming out of the Time Stop Space, he had stabilized nearly half of his eight-lined battle force. He only needed to cultivate for another year to completely stabilize his eight-lined battle force.
Even now, his stable seven-lined battle force had the destructive power of a peak Enlighter. From the looks of it, a stable eight-lined battle force was comparable to a cultivator who had undergone one Origin Tribulation.
Even if he couldn't use the power in his body, it was fine. As long as he had the power of one Origin Tribulation, he would be able to protect himself in outer space.
As he thought about it, Lu Yin tapped his finger, and the die slowly spun.
He hadn't expected to roll four pips, but it just so happened. He was tired and wanted to rest, but since he had rolled the Time Stop Space, he could only grit his teeth and stabilize his eight-lined battle force.
He had used the Time Stop Space six times, and each time, it had taken him almost a year to come out. In the end, he had used up almost 100 million star essence, and he now had 76.6 billion star essence left in his cosmic ring. It seemed like a lot, but it wasn't enough at all.
The last time he had cultivated in the Time Stop Space, his eight-lined battle force had stabilized, and his destructive power was comparable to that of a cultivator who had undergone one Origin Tribulation.
This destructive power was completely different from when he had battled with astral sources. There had been no astral sources, and it had been purely the destructive power of his battle force. Lu Yin felt as if his physical body had become stronger, and he was sure that his Vacant Palm had become even more powerful. Although his battle force was still at ten lines, its power was completely different from before.
When combined with the Lu family's Acalanatha Heavenly King Elephant, Lu Yin didn't know how powerful his Vacant Palm was.
