Lu Buzheng scolded, "The Frigid Immortal Sect wants to interfere with my Lu family's matters? Since ancient times, only my Lu family has been able to claim the title of Path Master."
Bai Wangyuan frowned. He hadn't cared about Lu Yin claiming the title of Path Master, and he had even been looking forward to it. However, not long ago, Bai Xianer had contacted him and told him that he had to stop Lu Yin from claiming the title. That title had a special meaning, and there would always be variables.
This was why he had come to stop Lu Yin.
After arriving in this region and seeing countless people being riled up by Lu Xiaoxuan, he was certain that he could not allow this person to claim the title of Path Master. For some reason, the title made him feel uneasy when it resounded in space.
It was as if a lone lamp had been lit in the boundless ocean. Those two words were like a signal.
Lu Yin stared at Bai Wangyuan. The main purpose of this meeting was to raise the morale of the Fifth Mainland, and he could not allow the cultivation inheritance to be severed just like that. Of course, his main goal was to use the Progenitor's Sword to cure the poison of time. However, if he failed, then what he had just said would come in handy and raise everyone's morale. If he succeeded, then what he had said would be the icing on the cake, and his prestige would rise to another level.
Besides that, there was another goal, and that was to test the waters.
A Path Master's status seemed to be quite extraordinary. There were six paths in the Three Realms, and in the words of the Destiny Daughter, the Three Realms could never replace the Six Paths. Lu Yin wanted to see what was so special about the Six Paths and whether anyone in the Astral Tree Realm knew about the Path Master's status.
Bai Wangyuan's appearance made him certain that the title of Path Master was very special. There were people who did not want him to become one.
The more they did not want it, the more he wanted to become the Path Master. He wanted to see who would stand up to stop him.
"Bai Wangyuan, look at the Fifth Mainland. With your Progenitor's strength, you can look at the entire Fifth Mainland. See if I want to become the Path Master, or if they want me to." Lu Yin pointed at the sky. "Do you think you can stop me?"
"Path Master!" someone shouted.
Following that, countless people shouted the same thing. Even with Bai Wangyuan's Progenitor's aura, he could not stop them. Lu Yin had defeated countless powerful enemies on the Fifth Mainland, including Progenitors. His existence gave the people of the Fifth Mainland a confidence that was close to faith. This confidence was something that not even the Lu family had been able to give.
Bai Wangyuan was drowned in endless anticipation. He heard people's fanatical reverence for Lu Yin and saw excited faces. These people ignored him, an expert at the peak of human cultivation, and only looked at Lu Xiaoxuan.
Bai Wangyuan had never experienced such a feeling before. If the Lu family had such control in the Starry Sky of Trees, how could they have overthrown them?
How could the main space help?
Lu Yin raised his head. "Bai Wangyuan, your Four Directions Scale wants to control the humans, but your goal will always be to control them. You will never be able to reach that step."
Bai Wangyuan looked at Lu Yin. "In the dark sea, there was a lone ship that faced a storm and a tsunami all by itself. That ship craved for help, so the sailor on the ship lit a lamp. He was very lucky, as a bigger ship saw him and saved him. He thought that what awaited him was friendliness and food, but what awaited him was a feast of death. No one could survive that huge storm, and there was no food or water. The only way to survive was to eat each other, and that sailor just so happened to be the source of food that allowed the others to survive."
"Lu Xiaoxuan, you lit that lamp, and you brought the entire Fifth Mainland closer to the feast of death."
Lu Yin looked at Bai Wangyuan in confusion. "Where's the lamp?"
Bai Wangyuan solemnly replied, "The Dao Master."
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes. "Just the title of Daolord?"
Bai Wangyuan wasn't sure either. He had asked Bai Xianer, but she had said that she wasn't sure either. However, the title of Dao Master made him feel extremely uneasy. He knew that Bai Xianer cultivated the Art of Destiny, which was why he trusted her so much. He also believed that she would one day replace the Lu family and control the Starry Sky of Trees.
This time was no exception. Once Lu Xiaoxuan became the Dao Master, he would attract the attention of the main space, just like the Lu family back then. Bai Wangyuan alone was far from being able to compare to the Lu family back then. Even the Lu family had been exiled, let alone Bai Wangyuan. He would invite trouble and be destroyed by the main space. This was what Bai Wangyuan wanted to see, but because of Bai Xianer's advice, he gave up on this idea and came to stop Lu Xiaoxuan.
The title of Dao Master also made him feel uneasy.
The universe is too big, so big that no one can say that they can live as they please. Ever since the era of the Above Heaven Sect, all the Daolords have disappeared. Your Lu family's ancestor has been in seclusion all year round, and he didn't even appear when the Lu family was exiled. Only the third continent's Daolord Ancient Daolord betrayed humanity. This is the fate of the Three Realms and Six Daos, "Bai Ze said.
This is the end of the Three Realms. "Lu Yin obviously didn't believe Bai Wangyuan's words. If becoming the Dao Master was really disadvantageous to him, why would he stop it? However, he wasn't sure if Bai Wangyuan was trying to stop him from becoming the Dao Master or if he was trying to stop the changes that would happen to the Fifth Mainland.
If it was the latter, then he would have to consider it carefully.
When Hen Xin and the others had first awakened, they had said that there was a secret that only the Dao Master knew. The Fate Maiden had also said that the Three Realms would never become the Six Realms. Lu Yin guessed that this had something to do with the Progenitor's Sword. Bai Wangyuan's words made him even more apprehensive.
What was behind all of this?
"Dao Master."
"Dao Master."
"Dao Master."
Countless voices continued to echo in Lu Yin's ears, and Bai Wangyuan couldn't stop the fervor of these people. Lu Yin looked up and saw many pairs of eyes staring at him. There were Enlighters, Envoys, Half-Ancestors, and even Progenitors. However, no matter how high these people's cultivations were, they were all looking at Lu Yin, waiting for his decision, and following his lead.
Why did he have to think so much?
Why was he limited to just one title?
Why did he care so much about Bai Wangyuan's words?
After losing his memories, Lu Yin had gone from an ordinary cultivator to his current position. Most of the time, he had relied on his fearlessness. No matter how vast the universe was or how dangerous the outside world was, humans were not pushovers that could be casually pushed around. During the Era of the Above Heaven Sect, humans had been able to achieve glory and prosperity, and they could do the same now.
Was it because the higher Lu Yin climbed, the more things he cared about?
Lu Yin laughed, as he was thinking too much. There were many things that he didn't understand yet, and he was constantly worrying about them. In reality, it was meaningless.
What did the title of Dao Master have to do with him?
If he wanted to, then he could call himself a Dao Master. If he didn't want to, then so be it.
Where was his destiny? What did his life have to do with him?
Could she really plan for his future?
If she could, then she would not be Destiny, but a Primogenitor. The Eternals would not have reached their current level.
Were the Three Realms and Six Daos all dead?
His master had once said that he might meet them in Immemorial City in the future.
Was Progenitor Chen dead?
Not necessarily, as Lu Yin had seen him in the Burial Garden. Even the Mystery Progenitor had been repelled by Progenitor Chen.
Was the Rune Progenitor dead?
Then how did the Rune Dao Civilization cover the universe?
Was Ku Zu dead?
Was that so?
As the saying went, "When things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction." It was hard to imagine that Ku Zu had died.
His master was here, and so were his senior brothers. All of the geniuses who had once illuminated the universe might not necessarily be dead. They might be watching him from somewhere, waiting for him. Right now, Lu Yin seemed to be very lonely. In the entire Fifth Mainland, only Elder Chan could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. But looking down, there were Lu Buzheng, Hen Xin, Life Girl, Kui Luo, High Sage Heavenly Master, and so on.
He was not alone.
After thinking so much, he realized that there was no one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. No one could shoulder the future of humanity with him.
In reality, it was not that there was no one, but that Lu Yin had not seen them yet.
Bai Wangyuan had said that lighting this lamp would bring about a feast of death, but perhaps lighting this lamp would bring light instead.
No one could be sure that the Progenitor was dead, and the Three Realms and Six Daos might not necessarily be dead either. The Lu family was still around, and Progenitor Chen, Ku Zu, the Symbol Progenitor, and so on might all appear in the future. Since that was the case, what was Lu Yin afraid of?
Yes, what was he worried about?
What was there to be depressed about?
The universe that he could see was limited, but humanity's future was limitless. There was a limitless future, and anything could be resolved. Even if there was danger, it would not be his problem alone. Since when had he become so overcautious?
Lu Yin suddenly looked up and scanned everyone. "Path Master?
It doesn't matter. "
The universe was silent as everyone looked at him.
Bai Wangyuan stared at him as well. At this moment, Lu Yin seemed to have changed.
"If you're willing, then so be it. If you're not, then so be it. I, Lu Yin, have led the Fifth Mainland to where it is today. Whether I'm a Path Master or not, the Fifth Mainland's sky has always been supported by me. It was like this in the past, and it is still like this now." He then retrieved the Progenitor's Sword from his cosmic ring.
The moment the Progenitor's Sword appeared, a formless vibration extended out, and ripples rapidly spread out across the entire Fifth Mainland.
They swept past the Heaven's Above the Sky Sect, the Caged Wyrm, the Ancestral Turtle, Bai Wangyuan, and countless planets in outer space. In an instant, they swept past the entire Fifth Mainland.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. What was that?
Bai Wangyuan was on guard. What was going on?
He hurriedly sensed his own body, but he did not feel any changes.
Lu Yin raised the Progenitor's Sword and pointed it at the sky. Only he could sense that the Fifth Mainland's sky had changed. The Progenitor's Sword was trembling, and it was almost impossible to hold onto it.
The ripples followed the sword's edge as it swept through outer space, stirring up the entire Fifth Mainland's peace. However, there were no changes, and no one could sense any changes.
"My power has stabilized," Lan Xian said in shock as she looked at Lu Yin in disbelief.
Next, the Elysium Heavenly Master, Cai 'er, and the other Half-Ancestors also sensed that their power had stabilized. As Half-Ancestors, as long as their inner worlds were stable, they would be able to sense it.
After the Half-Ancestors, it was the Second Nightking and the others who tried to absorb the astral source.
In outer space, Bai Wangyuan was stunned. Stabilized?
This astral source universe had been restored?
In a corner of the Heaven's Above the Sky Sect, Wu Junshi's mouth was agape as he stared blankly. Then, his legs went soft, and he actually knelt down.
He saw Lu Yin holding the sword and pointing it at outer space. He had instantly dispelled the poison of time and restored the order of spacetime.
That was the poison of time, the power of time. This person had actually stabilized it.
God. He was a god, a god that stood above all sovereigns.
This was the Heaven's Above the Sky Sect, and that person was the Above the Sky Sect's god.
