Xiu Ming also felt this way. Decades ago, he had been considering whether or not to accept Lu Yin as a disciple, and he had even encouraged Wu Dan to surpass him. He had even used himself and the Elysium Heavenly Master as an example to give Wu Dan hope.
But now, Xiu Ming sighed. This child had defeated the Origin Array Heavenly Master in chess. This wasn't a matter of talent. This child had completely exceeded his understanding of talent.
"I can't do it, and neither can the High Sage. The only possibility right now is that Celestial Master Gu Yan of the Starry Sky Tree. Regardless of whether you're willing to admit it or not, the Starry Sky Tree is indeed far more powerful than the Fifth Mainland. Whether it's history or inheritance, it has never been broken. Celestial Master Gu Yan has surpassed me and the High Sage. He is fully deserving of the title of the number one Celestial Master of the human race," Xiu Ming said.
Lu Yin retracted his gaze. Was he going to look for Gu Yan?
Hold on, he suddenly looked at Xiu Ming and asked, "Senior, have you met Heavenly Teacher Gu Yan?"
With Xiu Ming's ability, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have admitted that he was inferior to others.
Xiu Ming nodded. "He's in the Fifth Mainland, but I don't know where he is. I've seen him once before, about half a year ago."
Lu Yin left, as he knew where Gu Yan was. He didn't want to go to that place, but he had no choice now.
The Shenwu Continent was a place filled with pure happiness, and it was a place that evoked Lu Yin's yearning.
…
It had been a few decades since Ming Yan had left, and the current Shenwu Continent was being overseen by a person called Ming De.
When Ming Zhaoshu had betrayed the Ming family and taken over the throne, he'd killed almost everyone in the Ming family. Only a few of the more remote disciples had survived, and Ming De had been groomed after Ming Yan had left.
Compared to the entire universe, the Shenwu Continent was too insignificant. If not for Ming Yan's memories, Lu Yin would not have cared who was in control of this place. No matter who it was, they would have to submit to him.
The most obvious example was Bei Qing, who had left the Shenwu Continent for the Great Yu Empire's auction house. His current status was completely different from before, and a single word from him could determine the life and death of many people like the Shenwu Continent.
Even though Shenwu Continent was small, there were two places that stood out from the rest. One was the five sealing planets that surrounded Shenwu Continent, each of which was incomparably large and comparable to a planet's sourcebox. The other was the Tower of Resonating Light, where Gu Yue was buried.
At this moment, an old man had been waiting outside the Tower of Resonating Light for a long time. He wore luxurious clothes and was accompanied by maids and guards. He stared at the Tower of Resonating Light in a daze and mumbled something to himself.
Lu Yin descended on Shenwu Continent and appeared outside the Tower of Resonating Light. The old man's guards sensed his arrival and looked over with vigilance. They only relaxed when they saw that it was Lu Yin.
"My condolences, senior," Lu Yin said as he approached the old man, who was Gu Yan.
Heavenly Master Gu Yan sighed, "I've always been arrogant because of my talent, and I've always looked down on others. This was the case when it came to lockbreaking, and it was even more so when it came to accepting disciples. I thought that I would never have a disciple, but one day, I saw him. His lockbreaking talent shocked even me, and he was incredibly kind and pure. I gave him five tests, and he completed all of them. In the end, I accepted him as my disciple and gave him the name Gu Yue."
"Gu Yue's name comes from a battle skill I created myself, the Moon Constellation Battle Skill. When the moon is full and the stars fall from the sky, when you look back, you'll only see the mortal world. Originally, I wanted him to be as dazzling as the stars in the sky, but stars can also fall. He didn't even have the chance to shine in the starry sky before he fell."
Lu Yin had never expected that Moonstar had not been created by Gu Yue, but rather, that it had come from Heavenly Master Gu Yan.
After being here for so long, he had no one to talk to besides his maids and guards.
"Do you know who the Three Sovereigns are?"
Heavenly Master Gu Yan suddenly asked. His back was facing Lu Yin, and his expression was hidden.
Lu Yin shook his head, "I've never heard of them."
Heavenly Master Gu Yan nodded and let out a long breath, "I knew that he might have died, but when I found out, I still found it hard to accept. This child is very kind."
Lu Yin replied, "I know. Senior Gu Yue tests his disciples based on their pure hearts."
"Has anyone succeeded?"
Heavenly Master Gu Yan turned to look at Lu Yin expectantly.
Lu Yin's heart ached, and he took out the frozen Ming Yan from his cosmic ring. Under Heavenly Master Gu Yan's astonished gaze, he said, "She's called Ming Yan, and she's mine." He paused for a moment before continuing, "My dear. She received Senior Gu Yue's Moonstar battle technique, and Gu Yue's letter was also given to me by her."
Heavenly Master Gu Yan walked over and sized up Ming Yan, "What happened?"
Lu Yin answered solemnly, "She was injured by a Half-Ancestor. Even the Fog Ancestor would have a hard time helping her, so I could only freeze her."
Heavenly Master Gu Yan frowned, "Cultivators are not omnipotent, and they are not creators. Some injuries have nothing to do with cultivation, and the Fog Ancestor cannot help her. The same goes for other Progenitors."
Lu Yin looked up, "If there's someone who can help, I'll definitely find her."
Heavenly Master Gu Yan shook his head and did not say anything else. He looked at Ming Yan with pity; he had thought that he would have a grand-disciple, but she had turned out to be the same. "Did you come here specifically to find me?"
Heavenly Master Gu Yan was not as shameless as he was when facing others.
Lu Yin solemnly recounted what had just happened, and Heavenly Master Gu Yan was shocked, "You're quite brave to have dared to take such a gamble."
"If I hadn't taken the gamble and allowed the Undying God to be rescued by the Eternals, would we have had any hope of winning?
The mother tree has cracked, and the consequences would have been unthinkable if the Infinite Energy had been destroyed, "Lu Yin said.
Heavenly Master Gu Yan nodded, "No sourcebox array can last forever. Actually, setting one up is difficult, but destroying it is very simple. The Eternals' endless Corpse Kings are enough to make the Infinite Energy unbearable, and the mother tree itself has cracked. If we left it alone, it wouldn't have been long before the Infinite Energy could no longer be maintained. You've done well. So, are you looking for me to set up a sourcebox array?"
Lu Yin nodded, "I also want to set up a sourcebox array at the entrance to the Starfall Sea. I don't want it to be as powerful as the Infinite Energy, but it should at least be able to affect Progenitors and seal the entrance to the Starfall Sea. After thinking about it, perhaps only Senior can do it."
Heavenly Master Gu Yan smiled, "You should know that even if I had Ancestor Hui's abilities, it would still be difficult to set up a similar sourcebox array. Besides the difficulty of setting up a sourcebox array, finding a carrier, sourcebox, and various materials is even more difficult. Even Ancestor Hui wouldn't be able to set it up without these materials."
Lu Yin asked, "What kind of materials do you need? Senior can tell me, and I'll mobilize the entire Fifth Mainland to search for them."
"There's no need. Those materials aren't easy to find, or else Ancestor Hui wouldn't have been so difficult." Heavenly Master Gu Yan shook his head and then sighed, "But you're lucky. You don't need to search for them. Someone else has already found them for you."
Lu Yin did not understand.
Heavenly Master Gu Yan looked at the Tower of Resonating Light and raised a hand to point above him.
Lu Yin looked up and saw the five sealing planets. His eyes brightened, "The five sealing planets?"
Heavenly Master Gu Yan nodded.
"The sourcebox arrays that Gu Yue learned all came from me, and one of them is called the Path of Fortune. After I became an Origin Array Heavenly Master, I used the True Insight that Ancestor Hui had left behind to comprehend and create it. Although it can't compare to Unlimited Energy, it still has about 10% of its power. Sealing the entrance to the Starfall Sea shouldn't be a problem, and with the addition of Realm Mountain, it should be even easier."
Lu Yin's eyes widened. Path of Fortune?
It had 10% of Unlimited Energy's power?
That was a bit exaggerated, as Unlimited Energy didn't just include the five array bases, but also the mother tree as a carrier and the seven stars in the Outer Realm. Only then could Unlimited Energy be considered Unlimited Energy. Otherwise, how could the five array bases stop the Eternals?
Bai Wangyuan and the others had been able to stop the Ancient Gods and the others not just by relying on themselves, but also by the Unlimited Energy sourcebox array. It was precisely because of Unlimited Energy and the Divine Eagle that they had been able to stop the Eternals.
Could this Path of Fortune sourcebox array have 10% of Unlimited Energy's power?
Lu Yin had never thought of comparing it to Unlimited Energy, and he had only hoped that he could set up a sourcebox array that could help him fight against the Progenitor realm Corpse King.
"Senior, these five sealing planets can only stop Enlighters at most." Lu Yin didn't understand.
Heavenly Master Gu Yan explained, "The Path of Fortune doesn't represent the five sealing planets. The true Path of Fortune is set up by seven incomparably large sourceboxes that mimic the seven stars in the Outer Realm. It's all thanks to Ancestor Hui's creation of Unlimited Energy. Otherwise, I might not have been able to create this Path of Fortune array. As for Gu Yue," he said regretfully, "he's truly a genius, and he was able to simplify the Path of Fortune array into five sealing planets. He should have reached the level of an Origin Array Heavenly Master.
What a pity. "Lu Yin said," It is indeed a pity. Rumor has it that Senior Gu Yue was harmed by someone. This junior will definitely find a way to find out the truth, and if the person who harmed Senior Gu Yue is still alive, I'll definitely give Senior an explanation. "
Heavenly Master Gu Yan had a complicated expression. "The Path of Fortune requires seven enormous sourceboxes. There are five here, and you still need to find two more. That shouldn't be too difficult."
Lu Yin relaxed. "It's difficult to find seven at once, but Senior Gu Yue found five for me. There are still two more that I need to find." He thought of the Lockbreaker Realm, where there were six similar giant sourceboxes that formed the Six Ancient Spirit Array. If he really couldn't find such a large sourcebox, then he would just dismantle the array. The Lockbreaker Realm was far less important than the entrance to the Starfall Sea.

"Then let's go. The sooner the better."
"Senior, how long will it take to set up the Path of Fortune array?"
"With the five sealing planets as a foundation, it'll take a few days."
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Senior."
On this day, the people of Shenwu Continent would never forget. The five sealing planets that had protected them and isolated them from the rest of the universe were gone.
In the history of Shenwu Continent, the five sealing planets had always existed. Now that they had suddenly disappeared, the entire Shenwu Continent fell into a state of panic.
Mind immediately contacted the Great Yu Empire, but the response he received was that the Sect above the Heavenly Master had requisitioned them. As for Shenwu Continent, many people knew that it was a special place for Lu Yin. Even if it was completely exposed, it would be fine. Furthermore, there was nothing there that was worth worrying about, unless the matter of Gu Yue Zang being there was exposed.
…
The five sealing planets were five incomparably large sourceboxes, and each of them had their own danger. This was also how the Shenwu Continent had been cut off from the outside world.
Transporting these five sourceboxes to the entrance to the Starfall Sea was not an easy task. One would either have to forcibly remove the danger from the sourceboxes or move them away in one piece like Heavenly Master Gu Yan had done, which was equivalent to moving all five sealing planets.
