He didn't know if there were any Progenitors on this platform. If there weren't, Old Ancestor Lu Tianyi wouldn't have left it behind to protect his descendants, and Ancestor Hui wouldn't have agreed to it either.
However, if this Commander Appointing Platform was Lu Jian, and Lu Jian had yet to break through to Ancestor Realm, how could she appoint Ancestor Realm experts?
Besides Lu Jian, there was no other successor in the Lu Clan who had cultivated the True Scripture of Eon Flow to such a high level.
Strange, strange.
"It seems like it's Lu Jian. From what I know, ever since Old Fu became an Ancestor, many people have cultivated his power, but very few of them are successors of great powers, let alone the Lu Clan. Everyone in the Lu Clan is famous in the Fifth Mainland, even if they are from a branch family. Only Lu Jian is obsessed with this power, and …" The Fog Ancestor sighed. "Lu Jian hates the Blood Giants the most, and he once declared that he would exterminate the entire Blood Giant clan."
Lu Yin was surprised. "Why is that?"
The Fog Ancestor replied, "The Blood Giants have always been a scourge, and after countless years of development, some of them are like your subordinates. Even though they're incredibly powerful, they're docile. Others have become brutal, and their intelligence has deteriorated. They only know how to kill, and the Blood Giants are the most famous of them all. Whenever they appear, they'll kill."
"In that era, many people would kill Blood Giants on sight. Lu Jian was just a little extreme, but no one stopped him."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "If this General Appointment Platform was really left behind by Patriarch Lu Jian, then could he have reached the Progenitor realm?"
The Mist Ancestor was puzzled. "I don't understand either, but Lu Jian definitely isn't a Progenitor. Otherwise, I would have known. But Huiwen wouldn't have deceived him for such a long time and only allowed Senior Lu Tianyi to leave behind a Half-Ancestor's power level. That's strange." She looked at Lu Yin. "Are you sure that a Progenitor was selected?"
Lu Yin nodded. "That should be the case. At the very least, there are existences that I can't summon. If I try to forcefully summon them, putting aside the fact that my astral source won't be able to withstand the pressure, whether or not I can even summon them will be a problem."
"That's right, it should be the Ancestor Realm. With your current strength, you can even summon a Half Ancestor unless you're in the Ancestor Realm," said the Fog Ancestor.
Looking at the General Appointment Platform, the two of them pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. The Fog Ancestor had returned. She loved researching the Blood Refinement Art, so what did this General Appointment Platform have to do with her?
Even the Mist Ancestor could not understand. Without this living fossil, it was even more impossible for Lu Yin to know what had happened back then. Even Elder Chan could not have known. It was already quite good that Lu Yin knew about the General Appointment Platform that Lu Tianyi had left behind.
One had to know that when Patriarch Lu Tianyi left behind the General Appointment Platform, there was no war.
Helplessly, Lu Yin decided to leave the stage on Earth. The Celestial Sect was too conspicuous, and Earth was more ordinary.
Since he was going to use his new power to head to the Cosmic Tree Realm, he needed to get used to it first. It just so happened that Liu Huang was still in Heaven's Path and had yet to return to Sword Mountain, so he was a suitable training partner.
"Attack you?"
Liu Huang was puzzled. "What sword move did Daozi comprehend that requires verification?"
Lu Yin replied, "Just make your move."
Emperor Liu took out his sword and slashed out without hesitation. It was not the Thirteen Swords, but just an ordinary sword. However, with his battle power of over a million, any one of his sword strikes was enough to slice apart the starry sky. There was not the slightest hint of sharpness in this sword strike. Only those facing this sword strike could feel an incomparable sense of danger.
Liu Huang did not hold back. With Lu Yin's ability to kill Wang Si, there was no need for him to hold back.
As he faced Liu Huang's sword, Lu Yin's eyes turned into runes, and he saw the boundless rune lines converging towards the sword. His pupils shrank as the constantly approaching rune lines quickly dissipated. While the Limitless Realm and the Spiritual Realm both weakened rune lines, they were completely different.
The Spiritual Realm could only weaken the rune lines that represented the sword's destructive power, but the Limitless Realm could directly change the rune lines of the sword itself. Lu Yin only needed to erase a portion of the rune lines to change the trajectory of Liu Huang's sword. It brushed past Lu Yin's shoulder and slashed into outer space, tearing apart the Solar System.
Liu Huang was stunned, and he stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. "What's this?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up, as he was able to neutralize an enemy's battle technique at the smallest cost. This was the Limitless Realm. Any attack would appear as rune lines in front of him, and he could change the trajectory of the attack's rune lines. He could even erase them and transform the attack.
If not for the difference in power between him and Liu Huang, he would have tried to transform this attack and preserve all of the rune lines to attack Liu Huang instead. This was giving him a taste of his own medicine.
Even with the huge difference in their cultivation levels, Lu Yin could still change the trajectory of the sword's rune lines and render it ineffective.
This was the power of the Rune Progenitor, the mystical Aeon Evolution Scripture, and the mystical rune line civilization.
"Again!" Lu Yin barked.
Liu Huang's expression changed, and he slashed out again. This was the First Sword of the Thirteen Swords, and its destructive power and speed were incomparable to the previous sword.
Lu Yin could not dodge at all, and he did not even have time to use the Aeon Evolution Scripture before his body was struck by the sword.
Liu Huang was shocked. "Daozi!"
Lu Yin raised a hand. "I'm fine."
Liu Huang relaxed, but he also felt bitter. He was known as the Sword Sect's genius, and he was confident that he could create the Fourteenth Sword, which would cause the Neoverse to fear him and forcefully imprison him in Kun's Swamp. He believed that his talent was top-notch in the entire universe.
However, compared to the person in front of him, the difference was too great, and there was no way to compare them.
How old was this person? How could he render Liu Huang's attack ineffective?
This was too much of a blow.
Lu Yin sighed. It was a good thing that he had used the Omniscient Realm, or else this sword would have injured him.
The First Sword of the Thirteen Swords was too fast, and when Liu Shaoqiu had used it for the first time, his opponent had been eliminated before they could even see it. Although Lu Yin could use the Aeon Evolution Scripture to deflect this sword, it was useless if he could not react in time.
"Again, the First Sword," Lu Yin said.
Liu Huang nodded and slashed out again, using the First Sword of the Thirteen Swords.
This time, a miniature person appeared on Lu Yin's shoulder. When he saw Liu Huang's attack, Lu Yin waved his hand, and the miniature person's boundless rune lines enveloped the mountain peak. Although Liu Huang's First Sword was fast, none of the rune lines in the area could escape Lu Yin's eyes. Lu Yin easily changed the trajectory of the First Sword, rendering Liu Huang's attack ineffective.
Liu Huang looked at the miniature person on Lu Yin's shoulder in surprise. What was that?
"Again!" Lu Yin barked.
Liu Huang raised his sword.
Over the next three days, Lu Yin experimented with Liu Huang to familiarize himself with the power of the Unbounded Aeon Evolution Scripture.
At the same time, Qing Ping, who was far away in the Neoverse, received news from the Astral Beast Domain that the spy, Yin Guai, had died.
The news quickly reached Lu Yin, and he ended his duel with Liu Huang with a solemn expression. "Dead?
How did it die? "
Qing Ping replied, "I only received news of its death, but I don't know the specifics. If it weren't for Yin Guai's high status in that clan, we wouldn't even have known that it had died."
"Senior, are you saying that the news of Yin Guai's death wasn't intentionally leaked to you?"
Lu Yin asked.
Qing Ping replied, "No, we pay attention to some of the stronger clans in the Astral Beast Domain, and we only found out about Yin Guai's death through this channel."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. From the looks of it, although Yin Guai had died, it might not have exposed them. Perhaps it had died because it had wanted to investigate the human-shaped sourcebox. However, if it had been Imperial Tutor Skymender, then he might have been able to guess the reason.
In that case, did Imperial Tutor Skymender know that Lu Yin knew about that secret place?
No, he had to get to the bottom of this. The human-shaped sourcebox was still a hidden danger, and now that Yin Guai was dead, there was no one else in the Astral Beast Domain that they could use. Lu Yin thought about it and decided to use the old method of rolling his die.
He still had a lot of star essence on him, so it should be enough.
"I'm getting closer and closer to breaking through," Qing Ping transmitted.
Lu Yin replied, "I know, I'll take care of some things as soon as possible."
After ending the call, Lu Yin returned to where he had been in seclusion. He raised his hand, and his die appeared. He hoped to roll six pips and merge into the bodies of the Astral Beast Domain's higher-ups. This was the fastest way to learn about the Celestial Beast Empire's secrets.
With his current strength, he could merge into the bodies of powerhouses with power levels in the millions, so it should be enough.
He watched the die slowly spin and stop at one pip. He wasn't surprised, as the highest number he had rolled was one pip.
A useless item fell out, but he tapped it again and tried again.
This time, it was three pips. Six pips again. Lu Yin's eyes lit up, and he instantly appeared in that dark space.
There were balls of light everywhere, but they were all very dim. Some were so dim that he couldn't even see them.
As his cultivation increased, how many lifeforms in the universe would be able to compare to him?
Lu Yin's consciousness constantly shuttled back and forth, but most of what he saw was dim. Suddenly, a bright ball of light appeared, and he rushed in without hesitation. The longer he stayed in this space, the more star essence he would consume.
In an instant, the darkness in front of him brightened, and Lu Yin opened his eyes. He was in a large hall, and it was very luxurious. However, he had seen the Above Heaven Sect before, so any building was no different to him.
However, there was one place in this hall that attracted him: the stone carvings on the walls were all eyes, and it felt like there were countless eyes staring at him.
There was a person kneeling in front of him. Lu Yin looked over.
Xu San?
At the same time, memories flooded in, and Lu Yin's expression turned strange. He had actually merged into Ancestor Lingtong's body.
Ancestor Lingtong was an absolute genius from the Sixth Mainland. He had originally been a World Imprinter and was considered invincible in his domain. Later on, he had broken through to become a Cosmic Imprinter and was one of the Seven Skygods. In terms of battle power, he was even stronger than the veteran Cosmic Imprinter, Ancestor Eyeless.
Lu Yin had interacted with this person before. It was when he had taken over the war against the Astral Beast Domain and secretly taken away the little giant's bloodline from the battlefield between the Astral Beast Domain and the Sixth Mainland.
This person was Xu San's master.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and looked around, but what he saw was different from what his body saw. The entire space was different. He looked at Xu San again, and his expression changed. Xu San's physical body, meridians, and blood had all been seen through. This was the power of Ancestor Lingtong's innate gift, Dual Pupils. It was no wonder why he had been able to see through the Seven Skygods' disguise.
Xu San respectfully knelt on the ground, his eyes darting around. He had come here to ask for resources, but he didn't have enough star crystals on him. He had a bunch of brothers waiting for him, and he was used to being extravagant. Now, he actually had no money.
