Lu Yin looked down at his hands, wondering if he was being too much of a bully. With his power level as a Half-Ancestor, his cultivation speed was so fast that others would not be able to cultivate.
Fortunately, no one could tell how old he was, but he was not much older than them.
He stood up and stretched his body. His bones creaked softly.
Luo Laoer probed, "You're not cultivating anymore?"
Lu Yin looked over, "Why aren't you cultivating?
It's not good to slack off. "
Everyone was furious, as it was clear that Lu Yin could not cultivate. However, no one dared to say anything to Lu Yin, as Xu Xiangyin's attitude was terrifying. They were afraid that Lu Yin would complain, and Xu Xiangyin would directly destroy them. It was not impossible, as there was nothing they could do about it.
The crowd dispersed, and Luo Laoer hurried over to praise Lu Yin. Xu Xiangyin tossed Luo Laoer aside and sized Lu Yin up with an undisguised look of admiration and envy, "How do you feel, Xuan Qi?"
Lu Yin smiled, "Excellent. With the Void God's power entering my body, I feel much stronger."
"Hahaha, that's only natural. A sixteen-day Void God Tide is equivalent to a few years or even a dozen years of cultivation for someone else. How did you do it?"
Xu Xiangyin asked.
Lu Yin felt conflicted, "I don't know either. I just felt that the Void God's power was easy to absorb, so I wanted to absorb as much as I could. That's how it ended."
Xu Xiangyin was envious. "I'm almost jealous of you. You're the one who triggered the Void God Tide. There have only been a few Void God Tides in the history of the Void God Civilization, and they were all caused by people who had achieved supreme enlightenment. Every one of them achieved supreme power, and your situation is exactly the same as theirs."
Lu Yin did not understand, "Senior, this is a good thing, right?"
"Of course. I've already reported this matter to my superiors. Your future will definitely belong to the Void God Spacetime."
Lu Yin raised his head, "No one can stop me from joining the Void God Spacetime."
Xu Xiangyin was pleased, "Very good. Unfortunately, my abilities are limited and I cannot meet the Void Master. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend you to him and give you a chance to become his disciple. What a pity." He then continued, "You should have quite a bit of Void God's power in your body.
How about it? Which Void God do you want to try attracting? "
Lu Yin looked up at the sky, his eyes shining with confidence. He raised a hand and pointed up, "The biggest one."
Xu Xiang smiled sinisterly. "Two and a half months? You want to attempt the Void Dao Academy's biggest test in just two and a half months? Are you confident?"
"Yes."
"Alright, then let me see how you create this miracle. I can tell you that even the most talented disciple of the Virtual God Civilization, Xu Ji, might not be able to attract such a huge Virtual God within two and a half months. I hope you won't disappoint me," Xu Xiangyin said.
Lu Yin's expression turned solemn. "This junior will begin." After speaking, Faux God Energy surged out of his body and into the sky.
At this moment, Xu Xiangyin wasn't the only one watching. Many people were watching from outside the Void Land, and they were all from the Void Dao Academy. When they heard Xu Xiangyin's words, they all looked at Lu Yin in shock.
Two and a half months after entering the sect, he wanted to lead an entire village? Was this for real?
Xie Wu's eyelids twitched. He had been in the Void Dao Academy for two years, but he had only tried to lead the round Virtual God from before. That Virtual God was ranked in the top ten of the academy, and there was a huge distance between them and the village. This Xuan Qi was really abnormal.
"I remember that the last person who tried was Shao Qingfeng, right?"
"It was He."
"Shu."
"Luo Zang seems to have tried as well."
"Basically, all the geniuses who joined the Great Path Academy have tried. The only one who succeeded was Shao Qingfeng, but he stayed in the academy for almost a year."
"One year and two and a half months. That's a bit of a difference."
"How could he succeed? I heard from Luo Zang that not only does the village have boundless Virtual God energy, but it also has roads, houses, courtyards, and even living creatures. That's why he gave up. If he wants to succeed, he'll have to spend at least a year in the academy. It's not worth it."
"This Xuan Qi is just relying on his innate gift to lead an entire village. It's impossible."
…
Everyone was discussing amongst themselves.
Lu Yin was completely focused, as he had already touched the village with his Virtual God energy. As soon as he touched it, he felt that something was amiss. The village's Virtual God energy was not as uniform as it had been in his previous attempts. Instead, it was scattered. The houses, courtyards, and even the small animals in the courtyards all had their own Virtual God energy.
If he wanted to lead an entire village down, he would need to expend more than just Virtual God energy; he would also need to control it.
This kind of control required a long period of tempering, and it could not be accomplished in a single day.
Xu Xiangyin smiled, as he realized that Lu Yin was still too young. Did he really think that the strongest Virtual God in the Void Dao Academy would be so easy to lead?
Then wouldn't the Virtual God Civilization be too simple?
This kid's innate gift was too high, and he could cultivate Virtual God energy without any hindrance. Xu Xiangyin's appearance had also made him a bit arrogant. This was a good thing, as Xu Xiangyin had taught him a lesson and suppressed his temperament. Otherwise, if he really thought that the Virtual God Civilization was that easy to cultivate, it would not be good for his future.
"How do you feel, Xuan Qi?"
Xu Xiangyin asked.
Lu Yin's expression was solemn. "It's very difficult. Virtual God energy is scattered, and it's difficult to lead the entire village. It's like using a needle to move a mountain. Even if the needle breaks, it won't move the mountain at all."
"Mm, it's already pretty good that you can see this. Then give up. If you can't do it this time, you should be able to do it after cultivating for half a year. With your innate gift, half a year at most," Xu Xiangyin said.
Outside the Void Lands, the crowd was shocked. Half a year? This was what Xu Xiangyin was expecting from Lu Yin.
Back then, Shao Qingfeng had taken an entire year.
The difference between the two was obvious.
Lu Yin said, "This junior would like to continue trying. It should be possible."
Xu Xiangyin raised his brows. "What did you say?
Should be possible? "
"Yes," Lu Yin replied, and then he stared at the sky.
Xu Xiangyin laughed. This young man was unwilling to admit defeat. Interesting. "Alright, then I'll wait and see."
Lu Yin laughed inwardly. Was it difficult?
Of course it was. Even if someone with such innate gift had cultivated in the Virtual God Civilization and wanted to lead an entire village, it would still be impossible. But for Lu Yin, it was a piece of cake. Of course, he still had to put on an act and not be too relaxed.
Time ticked by, and everyone stared at the sky. They did not understand why Lu Yin had not given up yet.
Xu Xiangyin's eyes were filled with admiration. Although he had not been able to lead the village, this person had persisted for so long, which was quite rare. Although Lu Yin's control of Virtual God's power was crude, he had still displayed his extraordinary innate gift. Not bad, not bad at all.
Xu Xiangyin really wanted to take Lu Yin as his disciple, but unfortunately, he did not have the qualifications.
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise. "It's moving!"
Everyone stared at the village in the sky.
Xu Xiangyin was flabbergasted, and he looked up. He had not believed that Lu Yin would succeed from the very beginning, so all of his attention had been on Lu Yin himself. He had not paid much attention to the village's situation.
Now, the village had actually moved. As long as it moved, it meant that there was a chance of success.
How could this be?
Xu Xiangyin did not understand. This kid should not have been able to do it.
Xu Xiangyin stared at the village, and his expression changed to one of disbelief. He looked at Lu Yin again and saw that the youth's forehead was covered in sweat. The shock in his eyes became even more obvious. This kid had actually broken through all of the Virtual Gods in the village and then merged them into one. Was this something that a mere beginner could do?
Lu Yin roared, "Get down here!"
The next moment, the village moved and slowly descended.
Everyone's jaws dropped. It had really moved!
Outside of the Void Lands, no one noticed that Xu Yue had arrived as well. When she saw the village descend, she also gaped in shock.
This … This … She stared at Lu Yin in astonishment. Had he done this?
The village had been a test from the Void Dao Academy, and it had been easy for Xu Yue. However, how could a mere beginner accomplish this in such a short period of time?
How long had it taken her to reach this step?
There was a loud boom as the village crashed into the ground, causing the entire area to tremble.
Xu Xiangyin stared at Lu Yin in a daze, once again shocked by his innate gift.
Lu Yin let out a long breath and sat down on the ground, completely powerless.
"Senior, I … I was fortunate enough to not disappoint you. I did it," Lu Yin said.
Xu Xiangyin's eyes flickered, and he forcefully suppressed his shock. He looked at Lu Yin. "How did you do it?"
Lu Yin panted heavily. "I broke through the barrier between the Virtual God's power and merged them into one."
Xu Xiangyin didn't know what to say. It sounded simple, but it was difficult to do. Was breaking through the barrier something that a mere beginner could do?
However, he immediately recalled the Virtual God Tide from before. This person's affinity with Virtual God's power was extraordinary, and he had caused a Virtual God Tide as soon as he had entered the Void Dao Academy. This was a genius that was difficult to explain.
Perhaps the Virtual God Civilization would be able to continue its current glory under Lu Yin's leadership in the future.
Xu Xiangyin felt like he was witnessing the rise of a great era.
"Congratulations, Xuan Qi, you've done it," Xu Xiangyin praised sincerely.
Outside of the Void Lands, everyone looked at Lu Yin with admiration. Regardless of whether they viewed him as an enemy, at least at this moment, Lu Yin had done something that ordinary people would never have been able to do. He had suppressed the absolute geniuses like Shao Qingfeng and the others, as they had all witnessed a miracle.
Lu Yin shook his head with a bitter smile. "It's too difficult, Senior. The Virtual God Civilization is vast and profound. I need to work hard and cultivate even harder."
Xu Xiangyin's eyes lit up. "Not bad, you're not arrogant. That's good. You were able to guide the village purely because of your innate gift. I hope that you can guide it down with your own abilities."
Lu Yin stood up and earnestly replied, "Junior understands. I will not disappoint Senior."
Xu Xiangyin was satisfied with Lu Yin's attitude. He could see that this person was sincere, unlike some people who would get carried away with just a bit of innate gift. Xu Xiangyin didn't see this in Lu Yin's eyes, which made him feel more at ease.
"Xuan Qi, you must remember that there is always someone better than you. Even in the Six Paths, there are people with innate gifts that surpass your imagination. Some people might look ordinary, but they can use various methods to obtain power that ordinary people would never be able to obtain in their lifetime. That's not innate gift, but status," Xu Xiangyin said seriously. "Status can change everything, including innate gift. Innate gift is a ladder, and the higher your innate gift, the higher the ladder, and the higher you can climb. However, status doesn't need a ladder, as it already stands at the very top."
