Lu Yin didn't understand; what was the point of spending so much effort to raise Puyi's cultivation to the fifth tribulation stage?
He could understand that raising venomous insects was like having a group of people kill each other until an elite was left behind. However, he couldn't understand the purpose of Puyi's existence. Was it just to clean up the mess?
Aside from this, Lu Yin also occasionally saw corpses.
Although Puyi didn't know much about the outside world, the fact that this person had been able to reach the fifth tribulation stage while cultivating numbly meant that his talent was extremely high. He had inadvertently cultivated a domain and used it to see a corpse. Aside from that, there was nothing else in this underground world.
As for what the corpse looked like or who it belonged to, he had no idea.
Through Puyi's memories, Lu Yin could only see a corpse.
Following the path in his memories, Lu Yin arrived at a pile of debris. Some of it was metal, while others were the corpses of animals and plants. There were even books and tokens, but Lu Yin could only vaguely make out what the debris originally looked like. Now, it had all been chewed up.
Lu Yin very naturally stored the debris in his cosmic ring. His actions weren't unfamiliar at all and were exactly the same as what Puyi had done in the past.
Puyi had done this countless times. As a cultivator with five tribulations, he had stayed underground for more than a thousand years.
If not for the fact that he had grown up underground and had no knowledge of the outside world, Lu Yin didn't know how he would have been able to persist for so long.
In Puyi's view of the world, this underground world and these paths were his entire universe.
Lu Yin didn't plan on immediately withdrawing from the fusion. Being able to raise a cultivator with five tribulations and having never lacked resources in Puyi's memories meant that this place represented someone or a power that was definitely not simple. He wanted to know what kind of creature had chewed up the debris.
With that in mind, he continued forward. There were some debris up ahead, but Puyi had never approached it before. There was just too little of it, and he hadn't been allowed to enter.
Lu Yin controlled Puyi's body and walked step by step until he was a thousand meters away from the corpse that he had seen with his domain. He only needed to go around two paths to see the corpse.
"Why are you walking forward?"
The unpleasant voice made Lu Yin very uncomfortable.
"There's debris over there," Lu Yin replied.
"Go back," a voice said.
Lu Yin acknowledged respectfully and slowly retreated, stepping on water.
In this dark and damp underground world, it was normal for water to accumulate on the ground. He had stepped on it on his way here, but this time, it wasn't ordinary water; it was the Styx.
Lu Yin's looked down in shock; was this really the Styx?
He couldn't be wrong; the moment he stepped on it, his body uncontrollably. This was the Styx of the Styx, and it even after he had upgraded it. Now, this place … Realmless?????????? This was Realmless??????
Lu Yin looked inside and saw that the Styx had been given to Boundless as a deposit to assassinate Xia Xing. Since the Styx had appeared here, it meant that this place was definitely Boundless.
Yes, he had heard rumors that the so-called Realmless headquarters that was destroyed by the Divine Martial Heaven was not the real headquarters. The reason why the Four Way Balance was monitoring Elder Qiu was not only to dig out the Broken Peace Society, but also to dig out the Realmless headquarters through Elder Qiu. This was because the Broken Peace Society had always been providing funds for the Realmless, while the Realmless eliminated some troubles for the Broken Peace Society. The two parties had always been cooperating.
Who would have thought that the real headquarters of Realmless was actually here? Then, what was this place?
..........
Lu Yin had too many questions, but unfortunately, Pu One couldn't answer them.
Perhaps this was the reason why the creature inside had nurtured Pu One. It wanted to nurture a completely blank servant that was easy to use. Even if this place was discovered, the outside world wouldn't be able to obtain any information from Pu One, and Pu One's cultivation would be useful to a certain extent.
Lu Yin controlled Pu One's body to return to its original location and deactivate the fusion. There was no need for that, as Pu One's memories couldn't tell where this place was. He couldn't just control Pu One to charge out; even an idiot would know that there was a problem. Realmless's headquarters would definitely change locations, and it would be useless even if he found this place.
Lu Yin's consciousness passed through the dark space and returned to his body. He hadn't used up much energy this time, as not much time had passed, and Pu One's cultivation wasn't that high.
But how would he find that place?
Pu One, those debris … Lu Yin's eyes lit up. The Styx, yes, the Styx. Perhaps he could use this to find Realmless' headquarters.
The Styx came from the bottom of the You family's Styx River, so perhaps the You family had a way to know the location of all of the Styx.
Once he returned to the Fifth Mainland, he would have to make another trip to the You family.
Realmless had to be eradicated. It wouldn't have been a big deal if it had just been an assassin organization, but it wasn't just an assassin organization; it was also working with the Break Society to influence the battlefield on the other side. Lu Yin could guarantee that once the humans were defeated in the future, Realmless would be the first to join the Eternals. With the information and assassins that Realmless possessed, joining the Eternals would be a huge threat to the human race.
Lu Yin etched this matter deeply into his heart and then raised his hand to continue rolling his die.
He wasn't so lucky after that. Aside from rolling four pips once, he only rolled two pips the other two times.
After training in the Time Stop Space several times, Lu Yin's Art of Sirius had already reached 110,000 stars. However, he was still a long way from reaching the sixth level, which required 380,000 stars.
This technique required time and tempering, and it couldn't be accomplished overnight.
If Progenitor Chen was still alive, how many stars would he have been able to rotate?
Twenty days had passed since the students had entered San Ah Despair, so it was time to go out and wait for them.
Just as Lu Yin was about to leave, the Cloudconnection Stone vibrated. He looked at the table, as he had forgotten that there was a Cloudconnection Stone here. Was the person on the other side unable to sit still?
He picked up the stone and accepted the call.
"Yu Hao?"
The Cloudconnection Stone did not show an image, and only a voice could be heard. It was deep and resonant, so deep that it caused one's heart to tremble. It was just two words, but it gave one the feeling that everything was under control.
Although it was a bit exaggerated to judge a person based on their voice, that was the feeling that this voice gave Lu Yin.
He did not dare to underestimate the person on the other side. "That is me. And you are?"
"My name is Wang Fan." Lu Yin's fingers trembled, and his breathing turned heavy.
Wang Fan was the Wang family's ancestor and one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas from the Daosource Sect's era. He was an absolute genius who had once competed with Progenitor Chen, Symbol Progenitor, and Ku Progenitor. Now, he stood at the peak of the Cosmic Tree Realm, and he was also one of the current humans.
The more one understood the past era, the more one could sense how terrifying the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas were.
Progenitor Chen, Symbol Progenitor, and Ku Progenitor had left behind countless legends in the Fifth Mainland, but that did not mean that Wang Fan, Bai Wangyuan, and the others could not do the same. It was just that the legends that they had left behind did not exist in the Fifth Mainland.
The Mist Ancestor admitted that she was not good at fighting, but the help that she had given Lu Yin was immeasurable. Without her, Lu Yin would not have been able to be like a fish in water.
In the Cosmic Tree Realm, he had even managed to capture Xia Xing and the others.
Wang Fan was as famous as the Mist Ancestor and the others, and whether it was in terms of combat or other aspects, he was not something that the current Lu Yin could imagine.
He had guessed that someone important from the Wang family would contact him, but he had not expected it to be Wang Fan.
"Junior Yu Hao greets Ancestor Wang Fan," Lu Yin said respectfully. From Yu Hao's position, he should be respectful.
"You've grown from an ant to your current height in just a few decades. Yu Hao, you're not bad," Wang Fan praised without holding back.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he respectfully said again, "This junior is far from being worthy of Ancestor's praise." Not only was his voice respectful, but it was also filled with apprehension and reverence for a Progenitor.
Progenitors were like the heavens to ordinary people. To ordinary people, the heavens were unreachable. People would kneel to the heavens and pray for their blessings. Even if natural disasters took away countless lives, the survivors would not hate them. Instead, they would thank the heavens for their mercy and allowing them to live on.
In the eyes of cultivators, Progenitors were the heavens and the heavens were the Progenitors. The Ancestor's praise was the greatest affirmation for a cultivator. Similarly, even if the Ancestor ordered one to die, one should be honored. This was because not every cultivator had the chance to be personally ordered to die by the Ancestor, and not every cultivator had the chance to have their name heard by the Ancestor.
Lu Yin expressed his apprehension, respect, worship, and reverence for the Progenitor through his voice.
"You can afford it. I know what you've been through. The Xia family has gone overboard, and you now have the qualifications to negotiate with them. If you're willing, I can help you negotiate," Wang Fan said.
Lu Yin pretended to be terrified. "This junior doesn't dare to trouble Ancestor Wang Fan. It's already my greatest honor to be known by the Ancestor."
"I hope that you can join the Wang family not only because you're the disciple of Divine Master Gu Yan, but also because you have the qualifications to be personally invited by me. Yu Hao, you will not only be the next Origin Array Heavenly Master, but I will also do my best to nurture you into the youngest Origin Array Heavenly Master in history and erect your statue on the Wang family's continent.
"Today, the students of Yi Xian Academy will worship you. In the future, even more people will worship you. You will be a guest of the Wang family that surpasses the direct line of descent. Furthermore, your freedom will not be restricted. You will have all the resources you want."
Lu Yin was shocked. He had underestimated his lockbreaking ability. Even Wang Fan had been alarmed.
He could tell that Wang Fan was serious. He valued not only his master, Celestial Master Gu Yan, but also himself.
Wang Nian must have said something to him.
Lu Yin fell silent. He was thinking about how to reply. Since he had successfully attracted Wang Fan's attention, it would be a pity not to make use of it. As he thought about it, his gaze unconsciously landed on the Cloudpassage Stone.
"Junior's grandfather, Yuchuan, is in Shenwu Heaven," Lu Yin said. He did not say anything else.
"I'll take care of it," Wang Fan said and ended the call.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and picked up the Cloudpassage Stone. Wang Fan, he could actually communicate directly with Wang Fan. Had he unknowingly reached this level?
Next, Progenitors would appear one after another. This time, it was the Wang family. Would the White Dragon Clan be next?
These ancestors were not stupid. If he had the qualifications to attract Wang Fan's attention, then the other ancestors should be the same.
He just didn't know if Wang Fan could take Yuchuan away.
Lu Yin's gaze became complicated when he thought about Yuchuan. If his plan went smoothly, Yuchuan might be the only sacrifice.
Lu Yin put away the Cloudpassage Stone and walked out of his residence, heading towards San Ah Despair.
