Lu Buzheng asked in a low voice, "Can the Time Poison only be removed by changing the cultivation system?"
Wu Junshi replied, "It's not removed. The Time Poison still exists in our spacetime, but we don't absorb it anymore."
Lu Buzheng looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. He had never heard of a poison that could affect time. How could the Eternals develop such a poison?
Wu Junshi would not lie to him, as there was no need for him to do so.
"Let's go to Shenwu Continent first," Lu Yin said before leaving with Wu Junshi.
Wu Junshi was shocked. After learning that the Time Poison existed in this spacetime and had destroyed the cultivation civilization, the way he looked at Lu Yin changed once again.
What kind of person could survive the Time Poison?
Preserve his own strength?
Even the Three Sovereigns might not be able to do so. An entire civilization had been destroyed by the Time Poison, but someone had survived. How terrifying was this person's control over his cultivation power?
Wu Junshi could not imagine it.
It was just like how a normal person would never imagine that someone could shatter a planet with a single punch and step on the starry sky.
Lu Yin had preserved his strength under the Time Poison, which was as exaggerated as a normal person shattering a planet with a single punch. Wu Junshi was equally puzzled and shocked.
When they returned to the Tower of Resonating Light, Wu Junshi's attitude was completely different.
He regretted his arrogance and provoking someone he should not have provoked. From now on, his status in this spacetime would be similar to that of the Three Sovereigns, or perhaps even worse. After all, he was not from this spacetime.
With a goal in mind, Lu Yin easily found a large seal at the bottom of the Tower of Resonating Light. It was exactly the same as the one he had found at the foundation of the Eternals. At the same time, he also found an unstable void beneath the seal that was tightly suppressed. Even with his strength, it was difficult to open this void. Of course, it was not impossible, but it was simply impossible for Wu Junshi to open it with his strength.
No wonder he said that he could not return.
"It's difficult to open it from this spacetime, and it's even more difficult to open it from the Three Sovereigns," Wu Junshi said.
"Can Lord Luo open it?"
"I don't know. Without the suppression of Gu Yue's array, it might be possible, or it might not. Lord Luo tried a thousand years ago, but he could not open it. He said that it was because of Gu Yue's array, but he also said that it would be opened in the future. He can affect Gu Yue's array."
"You can influence them?
The five sealing planets … A thousand years ago … Wait, wasn't a thousand years ago recorded in Shenwu Continent's history when Ming Taizhong moved the five sealing planets to protect Shenwu Continent due to a war with an extraterrestrial civilization?
Could the timing be so coincidental?
Ming Taizhong moved the five sealing planets at the same time as Lord Luo attacked the passageway?
Gu Yue's five sealing planets had essentially been used to seal the passage, not Shenwu Continent. The reason why Shenwu Continent had been sealed was because Ming Taizhong had moved the five sealing planets. But with Ming Taizhong's Enlighter cultivation, how could he have moved Gu Yue's sourcebox array?
The gap between them was too big.
If Ming Taizhong hadn't moved, but Lord Luo had attacked from the other end of the passage and affected the five sealing planets, then that made sense.
Now that he thought about it, the Shenwu Continent had never done anything to the five sealing planets.
That was the correct answer. Otherwise, there would be no need for such a massive sourcebox array to protect the tiny Shenwu Continent.
It should be known that in the entire Fifth Mainland, only the Lockbreaker World had such a massive sourcebox array. Even Gu Yan had said that it would be difficult to find one, so why had Gu Yue spent so much effort searching for such a massive sourcebox just to guard it?
Had Gu Yue lived on the Shenwu Continent?
That didn't make any sense. It would have made sense if Gu Yue had done it to seal the passage.
Lu Yin finally understood the situation, as this was the truth behind the Shenwu Continent.
Then, how had Gu Yue died, and why had Gu Yue sealed the passage?
Some truths would disappear with time, and Lu Yin didn't think that he had to find out.
However, Gu Yan wouldn't give up, so perhaps he should tell him about this matter.
When Gu Yan had first come to the Tower of Resonating Light, Lu Yin had asked him who the three Sovereigns were. At the time, Lu Yin had been focused on opening the Starfall Sea's entrance, so he hadn't paid much attention. Now that he thought about it, Lu Yin used his domain to scan the entire Tower of Resonating Light. Finally, he found a few words carved into a stone brick that read, "Beware of the three Sovereigns."
If not for Gu Yan's reminder, Lu Yin might not have been able to see those words even with his domain. They had been sealed for too long, and they were crooked and crooked. The marks were very faint, and they were almost indistinguishable.
It was no wonder why Gu Yan had asked him who the three Sovereigns were. He must have believed that the three Sovereigns had killed Gu Yue.
Lu Yin could see how sad Gu Yan had been when he had first come to the Tower of Resonating Light. He had looked through every inch of the tower, which was why he had seen those words.
Lu Yin took out the wireless gu and contacted Gu Yan.
They quickly connected.
Lu Yin told him about the three Sovereigns' spacetime.
Gu Yan fell silent for a long time. "I'll reseal the five sealing planets. If Gu Yue wants to seal them, then so be it."
"Senior, although Senior Gu Yue is wary of the three Sovereigns, that doesn't mean that he was killed by them. After all, the three Sovereigns are Progenitors. If they wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be able to return, and he wouldn't be able to reseal the five sealing planets," Lu Yin said.
Gu Yan grunted. "I know. You don't want to seal the three Sovereigns' spacetime?"
Lu Yin replied, "This concerns the entire strategy against the Eternals. I want to see it more clearly."
"Alright, I can arrange the five sealing planets slightly. I won't seal them completely," Gu Yan said.
Lu Yin ended the call and left Wu Junshi in Heaven's Above Heaven. He then headed to the Neoverse and found Xiao Shi. "Help me take a look at the Poison of Time."
Xiao Shi nodded and immediately flipped through a thick book. He adjusted his glasses and scratched his mushroom head. "Found it. It's the Poison of Time. It's a poison that's specifically used to affect time. This poison can cause time to flow irregularly and even reverse."
Xiao Shi looked at Lu Yin in anticipation of what else he wanted to find out.
"Who developed it?"
Lu Yin asked.
Xiao Shi shook his head. "It's not written here."
"Your book describes what happened in this spacetime. That means that the Poison of Time appeared in this spacetime, right?" Lu Yin asked.
Xiao Shi blinked but didn't answer. He continued flipping through the book.
Lu Yin quickly asked, "Did it mention how to get rid of the poison?"
Xiao Shi flipped through the book and finally looked up. "No."
Lu Yin was disappointed.
"But there's a picture," Xiao Shi said, drawing on the ground.
The star energy in his body was also in reverse, so he couldn't cultivate or use it. He could only draw on the ground.
He drew a sword and compared it to the book, drawing continuously.
Lu Yin looked at the sword and frowned. Wasn't this the Progenitor's Sword?
"What do you mean?"
Lu Yin was puzzled.
Xiao Shi looked at him blankly. "I don't know.
How do I get rid of the Poison of Time? All I see is this sword-shaped picture. "
Lu Yin looked at the picture of the Progenitor's Sword and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He looked up as if he'd thought of something.
The cultivation civilization in the Three Sovereigns' space had been destroyed by the Poison of Time. The Poison of Time should have appeared in the Fifth Mainland as well, or else the Book of Destiny wouldn't have recorded it.
The Poison of Time and the Progenitor's Sword. One could cause time to become chaotic, while the other could travel through spacetime and open the River of Time.
In ancient times, the Progenitor had established the Above Heaven Sect, which was in charge of six continents. Each continent had its own Above Heaven Sect, and each Above Heaven Sect contained a total of six Progenitor's Swords.
Lu Yin had once thought that the purpose of the Six Progenitor's Swords was to suppress the six continents and display the Progenitor's might, but now it seemed like that wasn't the case.
If the Progenitor's Swords were related to the Poison of Time, then could it be that the Progenitor's Swords existed to suppress the Poison of Time?
Lu Yin quietly stood in place and rubbed his cosmic ring.
Xiao Shi looked at Lu Yin curiously, waiting for him to ask more questions.
Lu Yin didn't ask anything and instead took out the Progenitor's Sword from his cosmic ring.
Ever since the Progenitor's Sword had been shattered by the Only True God when he'd dealt with the Undying God, Lu Yin hadn't taken it out for more than three years.
When the Progenitor's Sword appeared, a visible ripple spread out and spread across the entire Fifth Mainland.
This ripple had appeared so suddenly that Lu Yin wasn't prepared for it at all. He couldn't understand what it was, but it seemed to cause the Fifth Mainland to distort.
Lu Yin raised the Progenitor's Sword, but it hadn't changed in the past. What was going on?
Suddenly, the ripple shattered and dissipated in all directions. At the same time, countless people on the Fifth Mainland experienced strange phenomena. Some returned to what they had just been doing, some took a step forward, but then retreated into the distance. Some people appeared on the other side of where they had been standing, and there were even some who had been injured but suddenly recovered.
Under the cover of the ripple, time was thrown into chaos.
Lu Yin hadn't noticed it at first, but as more and more people contacted him, he found out about these phenomena. Many people were experiencing the phenomenon of time reversal.
The Progenitor's Sword could travel through time and open up the river of time. Lu Yin was well aware of this, but ever since he'd obtained it, it had never changed on its own. So why had it changed just now?
The only thing that had changed since he'd obtained the sword was the poison of time.
Lu Yin could only think of the poison of time.
The poison of time was related to the Progenitor's Sword, so the abnormality with the Progenitor's Sword was very likely related to the poison of time. Lu Yin's gaze turned cold when he thought about what had just happened. Perhaps this was the key to unlocking the poison of time.
But now that the Progenitor's Sword had cracked, no one but the Progenitor would be able to repair it.
Lu Yin sighed. There was one other way, and that was to use his die's Enhance to upgrade it.
He could use his die's Enhance and expend a terrifying amount of resources to see if he could restore the Progenitor's Swordsman.
If he really wanted to do that, then the amount of star essence he would need would be unimaginable. Perhaps even the entire Fifth Mainland's resources might not be enough. This was because this was the Progenitor's Sword, and it far surpassed the slippers. It would be the most expensive upgrade to date, and that included the future.
If the upgrade didn't work, then the Fifth Mainland would suffer a great loss.
To upgrade or not to upgrade?
Lu Yin muttered to himself for a long time before putting the Progenitor's Sword away. He squatted down and looked at Xiao Shi. "Do you have money?"
