Lu Yin smiled. "I said that Kui Luo isn't here. Yi Xian Academy has appeared in the Mountain Sea, but Kui Luo went to snatch it. He's not here."
"Yi Xian Academy's Mountain Sea has appeared?"
Wang Zheng was shocked.
Lu Yin continued, "It seems like the Four Cardinal Scales are eyeing Yi Xian Academy for the Mountain Sea. Do you want to obtain it?"
"Who wouldn't? During the Daosource Sect's era, the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas suppressed the universe, and they were on a completely different level from ordinary Progenitors. Legend has it that the Mountain Sea contains battle techniques that are like secret techniques that can turn something rotten into something magical. Yi Xian Academy's Mountain Sea has never been inherited, and it's such a waste. If they can't inherit it themselves, then they should let others try," Wang Zheng said.
Lu Yin was puzzled, as the Four Cardinal Scales didn't seem to know that the Mountain Sea had an owner.
"Why do you say that Yi Xian Academy's Mountain Sea is uninherited?"
Lu Yin was puzzled.
Wang Zheng stared at Lu Yin. "Only Progenitors can inherit the Mountain Sea. Yi Xian Academy only has a Half-Progenitor, the Culinary God, Wen Lai, and Ce Donglai. They can't inherit the Mountain Sea at all."
"It's not just us; the Eternals are also eyeing the Mountain Sea. Once the Eternals destroy it, Yi Xian Academy will be a sinner."
Lu Yin shook his head. "You keep calling them sinners, but in your eyes, who isn't a sinner?"
Wang Zheng replied, "Those who are defending the backline are not sinners, and that includes the people from the Star Alliance."
Lu Yin looked deeply at Wang Zheng. "I just said that Kui Luo isn't here, so I'll give you a chance to escape from me. As long as you can escape, don't worry, there won't be a second person who will attack you. It'll just be you and me here."
Wang Zheng's gaze trembled. "Are you serious?"
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "Let's try it." Everyone had different control over their own body, and he didn't know if Wang Zheng would forcefully suppress his urge to use the seal. The only way was to make him unable to suppress it, which meant that he would severely injure him.
Wang Zheng's hands moved, and he looked at Lu Yin with amazement and admiration. "It doesn't matter if you're Lu Yin or Lu Xiaoxuan, your confidence has never changed."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Maybe he's just being arrogant."
"If it was you from Lu Xiaoxuan's era, I definitely wouldn't be your opponent. With Lu Xiaoxuan's talent, even if he didn't reach the half-step Ancestor Realm, he wouldn't be far from it. He would be on the same level as Bai Xianer. However, you lost your memories and were thrown into an abandoned land to cultivate again. It's already quite terrifying that you have three Origin Tribulations, but that's all. With your current strength, you can't stop me," said Wang Zheng. He had five Origin Tribulations.
After he finished speaking, he immediately used the Pearl Vine of the Four Ultimates to seal Lu Yin's physical strength. The Four Way Scales had researched Lu Yin and knew that his physical strength was powerful, especially the Empty Palm that had been exposed before. Even the Four Way Scales was wary of that invisible palm technique.
Next, Wang Zheng took a step forward and crossed the Astral Source Universe to appear in front of Lu Yin.
They were currently in Mount Supreme. Wang was using the Kui Bear of the Four Ultimate Techniques. Its power was rarely seen.
The palm strike missed, and Lu Yin retreated. However, his footsteps clearly felt like he was advancing.
Wang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he attacked again. This time, he increased his speed and used the Heavenly Blade of the Four Ultimates. He waved his hand, and a sharp blade slashed out, covering the entire area. Given Heavenly Blade's speed, no matter how fast Lu Yin was, he would have to face it head-on. Wang Zheng was at five Origin Tribulations, while Lu Yin was only at three.
Lu Yin smiled and moved forward. He was clearly retreating, but he was advancing. His body collided with Heavenly Blade's edge, and then, under Wang Zheng's incredulous gaze, Lu Yin passed through it.
Wang Zheng's eyes narrowed.
Impossible! Heavenly Blade's attack encompasses the entire Astral Source Universe. How did you pass through it? "
Lu Yin still had his hands behind his back. "Continue, Clan Leader Wang Zheng."
Wang Zheng was in trouble, as he had underestimated Lu Yin. This kid had only used his legs, and he hadn't used his hands at all. What was going on?
This shouldn't be happening.
He stared at Lu Yin and bent his fingers, causing a black rope to bind him. Secret Technique: Forbidden.
Lu Yin's body moved again, and he dodged the forbidden secret technique.
Wang Zheng's scalp went numb. Impossible, impossible! This was a secret technique created by Ancestor Wang Fan. How could it be dodged?
He used the Supreme Secret Technique again, trying to imprint his invincibility into Lu Yin's mind.
However, Lu Yin's gaze was calm, and he smiled. The Supreme Secret Technique was actually useful to him. He was momentarily stunned, but it was only for a moment. With Wang Zheng's strength, how could Lu Yin feel invincible?
The difference between the two was too great.
Although Lu Yin was only at three Origin Tribulations, he could suppress someone at six Origin Tribulations. In particular, he could reverse the void like Progenitor Chen and break through all battle techniques. This wasn't something that could be limited by cultivation.
Wang Zheng used all sorts of techniques, but they all paled in comparison to Lu Yin's Reverse Step.
Wang Zheng pressed down with a single palm, using the Wang family's Meditative Oblivion.
Lu Yin still relied on Reverse Step to forcefully break through.
When Progenitor Chen had used Reverse Step, he had been able to break through the Cognizant Realm of the Aeon Evolution True Scripture with his Enlighter realm cultivation.
Wang Zheng's face paled, and he stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. He had already used all of his strength, but Lu Yin still had his hands behind his back.
He wasn't fighting against a cultivator at three Origin Tribulations. It was as if he was facing a Half-Ancestor, and the feeling of helplessness and despair completely shattered his mental state.
"Impossible! How can you do this?"
Wang Zheng was shocked.
Lu Yin took pity on him. "You keep saying that you want to inherit the Mountains and Seas, but do you know what kind of person can do that?
Do you really understand the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas? "
Wang Zheng's entire body trembled.
Lu Yin shook his head. "You don't understand. You don't understand Progenitor Chen's invincibility, Progenitor Hui's wisdom, Progenitor Fog's creativity, or even your own Ancestor Wang Fan's terror. The Nine Mountains and Eight Seas are on a completely different level, just like you and me right now." Lu Yin took a step forward. He had clearly been retreating, but he had actually advanced. He appeared right in front of Wang Zheng and then brushed past him. His hands were still behind his back, and he did nothing.
However, Wang Zheng spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to one knee. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead as he stared blankly at the expanding bloodstains on the ground. He couldn't understand or see clearly. How had he been injured?
Had Lu Xiaoxuan made a move?
Wang Zheng didn't understand at all.
Lu Yin turned back to look at Wang Zheng, who was gradually falling down. He had used Reverse Step just now, and when he had brushed past Wang Zheng, he had disrupted the void.
The void contained both space and time. When spacetime was disrupted, the normal space that Wang Zheng was in couldn't withstand it and immediately collapsed, causing Wang Zheng to collapse.
This move seemed simple, but how many people had been able to pull it off since ancient times?
Just by using Reverse Step, Lu Yin was already invincible against anyone below the Half-Martial Ancestor realm. His cultivation base had long since been unable to restrict him.
Lu Yin was only a third Origin Tribulation cultivator, but he had already embarked on the path of creating his own cultivation system. How could Wang Zheng understand this?
Not only had Lu Yin heavily injured Wang Zheng, but he had also caused Wang Zheng's mental state to collapse.
Lu Yin took advantage of this opportunity to place a hand on Wang Zheng's back and activate a seal that entered Wang Zheng's body, causing Wang Zheng to spit out another mouthful of blood.
Wang Zheng spat out another mouthful of blood, and his mind became dizzy. His vision blurred, and he didn't know what had happened to his body. He only felt a familiar power invading his body, and he also had this power.
Lu Yin stared at Wang Zheng and sensed that his seal was clashing with Wang Zheng's. He could feel it, but it was difficult to understand. He quickly took out a Root of Wisdom and brewed a cup of tea. After the first sip, his mind became clear, and his eyes became much brighter. When he sensed the clashing seals in Wang Zheng's body again, he understood.
…
Lu Yin sat quietly on a stone pillar, tapping his fingers on the table as he pondered over the seals in his mind.
A seal obtained through this method was definitely more reliable than what others had said. Through this method, he had also verified the authenticity of the seals that Bai Teng, Xia Xing's clone, had given him.
They hadn't lied, and the seals were all real.
As such, he had obtained all of the seals on the Four Way Scales, and he only needed to remove them for the people of the Star Alliance.
This wasn't as simple as obtaining the seals from the Four Way Scales, and Lu Yin's eyes flickered as he continued to ponder.
Not long after, Mister Wei came to visit and brought with him a new biography of Progenitor Wen.
"If I'm not wrong, Progenitor Wen once cut off his own cultivation, or rather, sealed it, and became an ordinary person to wander the world …" Mister Wei said.
Lu Yin wasn't very interested in Progenitor Wen, and he was purely interested in learning about him. There had been too many Progenitors in human history, and it was impossible for him to understand all of them. However, Mister Wei was kind enough to tell Lu Yin what he discovered so that he could quickly solve his first topic.
After listening for a long time, Lu Yin finally understood. "So Progenitor Wen became an Progenitor because he wandered the world as an ordinary person and saw the fickleness of the world?"
"It's possible, but neither you nor I know much about the Progenitor realm. Every Progenitor walks their own path, and perhaps this was Progenitor Wen's path. I've found ancient poems and scriptures that have been passed down since ancient times, and some of them must have been written by Progenitor Wen using an alias." Mister Wei then took out a pile of books from his cosmic ring.
Lu Yin was impressed. "Mister Wei's spirit of historical research is admirable."
Mister Wei looked at Lu Yin. "Mister Haoyu doesn't seem too interested in Progenitor Wen."
Lu Yin replied, "Of course not. It's just that Progenitor Wen has existed for a long time, and it's too difficult to truly understand his life. I'm more interested in learning about the Flamephoenix and the Dark Phoenix."
"There might be some clues here," Mister Wei said before seriously studying the ancient texts.
Lu Yin looked at the side of her face. Mister Wei was a woman disguised as a man, and her identity was mysterious. Lu Yin wondered what it would be like for her to disguise herself as a woman.
As he thought about it, he continued to stare at Mister Wei.
Mister Wei didn't care about him at all, and he was completely focused on reading the ancient texts.
On another stone pillar, Wen Zhao returned and saw this scene, and he found it strange.
Mister Tang also saw this and smiled.
After a long time, Mister Wei finally closed the ancient texts. She had been reading for a few hours before turning around to look at Lu Yin. Lu Yin looked at her for a few hours as well.
The two looked at each other, speechless.
Lu Yin coughed. "Are you done?"
Mister Wei nodded with a natural expression. "I'm done. There are no records of poems related to the Flamephoenix and the Dark Phoenix."
"What a pity," Lu Yin said, "By the way, why is Mister Wei so interested in history?"
Mister Wei put the ancient texts away. "Actually, I'm interested in one person, but to understand that person, I need to understand their entire history."
Lu Yin was surprised. "Who?"
