The Mist Ancestor looked around with a complicated expression. "I've lived here for far too long, but I've finally returned."
Lu Yin remembered that Feng Mo had mentioned that this place was filled with illusions and fog. Then, was this Mountain Sea's inheritance related to illusions?
After the Mist Ancestor sighed, Lu Yin finally asked this question.
The Mist Ancestor replied, "Illusions?
That's the power of spiritual force, not spiritual force. "
"Then what about this place?"
Lu Yin was curious. He had just seen an illusion, but it had not been spiritual force. It was more like a replay of a scene.
The Mist Ancestor explained, "Every Mountain Sea has its own inherited battle technique. In my Mountain Sea, the inherited battle technique is' think '."
Lu Yin was confused. "Think?"
The Mist Ancestor nodded and looked at Lu Yin seriously. "Everything in this world, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, regardless of the outcome, has an origin. Humans are great because of their wisdom, and this wisdom can be realized through thinking. The more you think, the more you can see through the essence of certain things. This inheritance of the Mountains and Seas is based on thinking."
Lu Yin still did not understand. Why did it have to be inherited?
He could just think about it on his own.
The Mist Ancestor smiled. "You weren't surprised when I mentioned the Mountain Sea's inherited battle technique. It seems like you know about it and have even experienced it before?"
Lu Yin nodded. "There are Mountains and Seas in the Daosource Sect's ruins. This junior has experienced it before, but unfortunately, I failed."
"Then I'll teach you a shortcut. Perhaps you can inherit this Mountain Sea's battle technique."
Lu Yin looked forward to it. "Please tell me."
The Mist Ancestor's expression was solemn. "Forget time."
Lu Yin did not understand.
The Mist Ancestor continued, "If you want to inherit this Mountain Sea's battle technique, then you have to think. The more you think, the better. When you think so much that you forget time and your own existence, then you might be able to inherit the battle technique. This is what I experienced back then."
Lu Yin fell into deep thought.
The Mist Ancestor looked at him. "The original self is your own thoughts. When you completely empty yourself, forget your own existence, and forget time, then you will have succeeded. Of course, this process is very difficult."
Lu Yin looked at the Mist Ancestor. "If I can forget time, then does time exist or not? Do I exist or not?"
The Mist Ancestor was astonished. "Not bad, congratulations. You can't inherit this battle technique because you're too smart."
Lu Yin was stunned.
The Mist Ancestor shrugged. "You're too self-centered, and you simply can't forget your own existence. There are some things that the smarter a person is, the harder it is for them to accomplish. You're one of those people, so don't even think about fighting in the Mountains and Seas."
Lu Yin was unwilling to give up. "This junior wants to try."
The Mist Ancestor did not care. "Up to you. You can go by yourself as long as you're close to the mountain."
Lu Yin nodded and put down the mirror. He then leaped up and headed towards the mountain, disappearing from sight.
The Mist Ancestor shook his head. He stood alone on the surface of the sea, gazing into the distance as if he was recalling something.
Lu Yin disappeared as he neared the mountain, and at the same time, a voice rang out, "Those who have broken through may enter."
He had experienced this situation twice before. He calmly opened his eyes, and what entered his eyes was darkness. There was nothing around him, and he felt as if he was floating in the air.
At this time, the area ahead distorted and the Mist Ancestor appeared. "Forget time."
Lu Yin was surprised. "Senior, you can enter?"
The Fog Ancestor disappeared, and Lu Yin felt that something was strange. That person just now didn't seem like a real person.
At this time, Yi Yi!
Another ball of flame appeared, and then another. Lu Yin was shocked; wasn't this the flame he'd seen the first time he'd broken through?
He'd failed back then, so why was there another one here?
No, this was fake.
The flames disappeared, and a spring appeared that flowed endlessly.
Lu Yin looked on. This was the scene he'd seen when he'd broken through the second time. He'd entered another Mountain Sea, and he'd seen Xing Kai and the others fighting.
The scene in front of him disappeared, and then Xing Kai, Wan Sansi, and the others appeared. This was the scene Lu Yin had seen after he'd failed.
Lu Yin suddenly recalled the Mist Ancestor's words. The battle technique of this Mountain Sea's inheritance was to think about how one could succeed by forgetting time.
If anyone else had entered, they would have been at a loss as to what to do. Fortunately, Lu Yin had the back door that the Mist Ancestor had opened.
These scenes were definitely what he'd been imagining.
Lu Yin was a little shocked, as this Mountain Sea could actually see through his thoughts. This was a little terrifying.
He took a deep breath. Think?
What was he thinking?
What could he think about that could make him forget time?
Forget himself?
Forget everything?
Right, he should think about battle techniques.
…
In the outside world, a month passed. The Mist Ancestor was bored to death, and he occasionally glanced at the mountain. He pursed his lips; it should be soon. He was about to fail.
Another half a month passed, and the Mist Ancestor stood on the surface of the sea, watching the waves ripple as they flowed into the distance.
Lu Yin emerged with a helpless expression, as he had failed.
The Mist Ancestor looked over and was not surprised. "I told you that you'd definitely fail. What a waste of time."
Lu Yin sighed. "Senior, how can I forget time?
The more I think about it, the clearer my thoughts become, and the harder it is for me to forget time. I even remember every minute and second. "
The Mist Ancestor was speechless. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have told you. If I did, you would think in that direction, and the more you think about it, the clearer it becomes."
Lu Yin shook his head, but he did not blame the Mist Ancestor. If not for the Mist Ancestor, he wouldn't even know how he had failed.
The longest time he had been in seclusion was before the Dao Disciple battle. He had been cultivating the Sirius Technique for a total of five years. Even then, he had not been able to forget time.
This was not a matter of whether or not he could remember, but rather a cultivation mentality. Or rather, it was a matter of perception.
Some people could forget themselves just by sitting alone in the depths of a mountain, but Lu Yin could forget about it.
"Senior, what realm did you succeed at?"
Lu Yin asked.
The Mist Ancestor raised his head. "Half-Progenitor."
Lu Yin nodded. Fortunately, he was only at the third Origin Tribulation, which was still too far away from becoming a Half-Progenitor. He still had a chance.
"Don't be discouraged. The inheritance of the Mountain and Sea Battle Techniques can be tried at any realm. Actually, most people try it at the Progenitor realm, which is why there is such a thing as the Progenitor realm in the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. There are very few people below the Progenitor realm who can receive the inheritance, and those people will definitely reach the Progenitor realm."
Lu Yin knew what the Mist Ancestor wanted, so he immediately flattered him. "Senior, you're truly unprecedented. No matter how talented this junior is, I can't compare to you."
The more the Mist Ancestor listened, the happier he became. "Of course. Let me tell you, in my generation of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, I was the first to inherit the Mountain and Sea Battle Techniques."
Is that so?
Lu Yin remembered that when he had broken through to become an Emissary, he had fought against Progenitor Chen, who had been at the same realm. Progenitor Chen had used many techniques. Could one of them have been inherited from the Mountain and Sea Battle Techniques?
Lu Yin suddenly recalled what the Mist Ancestor had said. The smarter one was, the harder it was for them to inherit this battle technique. When he thought of this, his expression turned strange.
"This battle technique isn't very useful in battle, but it can help you clarify some things, especially when creating your own strength.
With my talent, I'll definitely reach the Progenitor realm, but it'll be difficult. It might take a long time like Old Fu since I'm not good at fighting. However, because I inherited this battle technique, I was able to think of 'Subtle' when I was still a Half-Progenitor. "
"Using 'Subtle' to break through to the Progenitor realm. This battle technique's greatest use is one's comprehension, so whether or not it's useful depends on the person. It's useless for Xia Shang, as that guy fights all day and everything he learns comes from fighting. It's quite useful for Old Fu, but unfortunately, he didn't inherit it."
Lu Yin felt that it was a pity, as it was very useful to him as well. The strength in his heart had been comprehended by the Wisdom Root Tea, and he always felt that something was missing. If only he could inherit this battle technique. Forget it, he didn't want to think too much about it. "Senior, let's go."
The Mist Ancestor nodded.
"What about the Mountain and Sea?"
Lu Yin asked.
The Mist Ancestor had a complicated expression. "Just leave it here. The Mountain and Sea does not belong to anyone, and it has been passed down since ancient times. It would be good if someone could inherit this battle technique."
Lu Yin wanted to take the Mountain and Sea with him, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. If he took it away, he wouldn't be able to inherit it for the time being. On the other hand, the Half-Progenitors could try it out.
It would be fine if Kui Luo, Third Uncle, and the others could inherit it, but it would be troublesome if Jueyi, Henxin, and the others could inherit it.
Lu Yin couldn't selflessly help these people increase their strength for the sake of humanity.
He would go back and tell Kui Luo and the others about this place so that they could try it out one by one.
"Senior, how do we leave?"
Lu Yin asked.
The Mist Ancestor directly led Lu Yin out. "It's best if those below Half-Progenitor don't enter. Although the Mountain and Sea Inheritance is also an inheritance, it is generally not open to those below Half-Progenitor because it's meaningless. Only those who cultivate to the Half-Progenitor realm can comprehend certain things.
Lu Yin looked back at the mist. He would have to wait a long time before he could come again.
…
Two months had passed since Lu Yin had left the Above the Sky Sect. During these two months, the Human Domain's focus was on the establishment of the Above the Sky Sect.
With the power of the entire Human Star Field, it would be too easy to build an Above the Heavens Sect.
A few days before Lu Yin's group left the Mountain Sea Realm, the Above the Sky Sect was completed. It was located in the solar system, and it wasn't fixed in a fixed location. Instead, it could be moved around, and it was like a giant astral mountain gate.
After Lu Yin and the Fog Ancestor left the Mountain and Sea Realm, they learned that the Heaven's Above Heaven Sect had been established. They immediately notified the eight Heaven's Gates Sect Masters and the other Half-Ancestors that the Heaven's Gates Conference would be held in advance.
Once the Above Heaven Sect was established, there would definitely be an opening ceremony. At that time, all the upper echelons of the entire Human Domain would gather. It would be the best time to hold the Tianmen Convention.
Currently, the Human Domain had one Blood Ancestor, thirteen Half-Martial Ancestors, and Qing Ping and Tian Dou, who could rival Half-Martial Ancestors. Below them were the hundreds of Emissaries.
If it weren't for the Above Heaven Sect, these forces wouldn't have joined forces. But now, because of the invasion of the Eternals twenty years ago and the establishment of the Above Heaven Sect, the alliance of the Human Domain was officially confirmed.
The last time the entire human race had joined forces was during the era of the Daosource Sect.
…
Looking at the Above the Heavens Sect's majestic mountain gate, Lu Yin sighed in amazement. Although it had some grandeur, it was still lacking compared to the Ancient Above the Heavens Sect.
"It's much worse than the Daosource Sect's mountain gate. The main thing is that it's missing a pillar that supports the heavens," the Fog Ancestor said.
Beside him, Lu Buzheng chimed in, "It's already not bad, and it's even worse than the Above Heaven Sect. However, it still has some grandeur to it. This is just the initial stages of the construction, and the mountain gate will become even grander in the future. When the day comes that the threat of the Eternals is no longer present, the pillar that supports the heavens will be retrieved. At that time, there will definitely be many Progenitors in this region of space."
