In the Taiyi Spacetime, Lu Yin formally applied to transfer to the Lost Dao Academy.
Zhi Bing personally acknowledged his achievements in the Lost Dao Academy, "Your talent is definitely the best among the extraterrestrial civilizations of the Lost Dao Academy. Giving you the Hidden Mountain Card is not a disgrace."
Lu Yin was grateful, "Although I haven't been in contact with the Lost Dao Academy for long, I deeply feel that they are extensive and profound. If there's a chance, I would like to visit the Lost Dao Academy and gain a deeper understanding of the Lost Dao Academy."
Zhi Bing laughed, "Young man, your greed knows no bounds. You already have the Hidden Mountain Card, so there's no point even if you go to the Lost Dao Academy. The Hidden Mountain Card will last you forever."
"Old man, you can't say that." Xu Xiangyin had arrived. He had come to prevent Zhi Bing from poaching Lu Yin, even though the chances of that happening were slim.
Lu Yin was pleasantly surprised, "Senior, you're here too."
Xu Xiangyin smiled, "You've also been here for two and a half months. You've been quite impressive in the Lost Dao Academy."
Lu Yin humbly replied, "It was just luck."
Xu Xiangyin shook his head and looked at Zhi Bing, "Old man, you're getting more and more shameless. You're even tricking the younger generation."
Zhi Bing frowned, "Don't spout nonsense."
Xu Xiangyin sneered, "No matter how good the Hidden Mountain Card is, it's still an ancient card. The upper limit of an ancient card means that it can't be used forever. I'm not being disrespectful to the Lost Dao Academy, this is the truth."
Zhi Bing remained calm.
"Unless you give Xuan Qi a primordial card, even an ancient card can't be used forever," Xu Xiangyin said.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. The upper limit of an ancient card was a Half-Ancestor, while a primordial card was a Progenitor. As for an ancient card, it could only be used on Envoys.
With Lu Yin's current strength, he could definitely unleash the full power of the Hidden Mountain Card, but what use would that be?
It couldn't even trap a Half-Ancestor, just like how Mu Mu had burned Jiang Xiaodao's card, let alone a Progenitor.
Zhi Bing sneered, "Dream on, a primordial card? It's already an exception for someone from an extraterrestrial civilization to obtain a seven-star ancient card unless he joins the Lost Dao Academy." He then looked at Lu Yin and smiled, "Xuan Qi, do you want to consider joining our Lost Dao Academy?"
Xu Xiangyin immediately jumped up. "Old man, I already said that I won't poach anyone."
"You're the one who wants to obtain the Immemorial Card for him. Do you think an outsider can obtain the Immemorial Card?"
Zhi Bing rolled his eyes.
Xu Xiangyin had an unlucky look on his face. "No, Xuan Qi, let's go to the Wood Dao Academy."
Zhi Bing smiled at him. "Think about it."
Xu Xiangyin hurriedly brought Lu Yin away, feeling as if he had nothing better to do. Why was he arguing with that old man for no reason?
If he let that old man poach Lu Yin in front of him, he was afraid that Lu Yin would be poached, and that he wouldn't be able to explain himself to the Void God Spacetime.
There was no way to explain this to Senior Xu Wuwei.
Lu Yin had thought that Xu Xiangyin would take him directly to the Wood Dao Academy, but instead, he had been brought to outer space. The man who had brought them to the Hexagon Dojo through hyperspace appeared in front of them. His name was You Teng.
"I'll leave it to you. That guy Zhibing is really a good-for-nothing. He's trying to poach people right in front of us." Xu Xiangyin was dissatisfied.
You Teng was surprised. "Stop the troops from poaching people?
It can't be, right? The Lost Clan is so xenophobic. No matter how high one's talent is, it's unlikely that they would accept it. "
How could Xu Xiangyin tell You Teng that he had shot himself in the foot? He could only grumble a little before asking Lu Yin to follow You Teng to the Woodpath Academy.
And he left.
Yes.
Lu Yin looked at You Teng curiously.
You Teng said, "Someone wants to see you."
The image of the perfect woman on the stairs appeared in Lu Yin's mind.
However, the person who wanted to see him was not that woman, but rather Zi Jing.
Ever since he had arrived in hyperspace, he had been separated from Zi Jing and had never seen her again. More than half a year had passed, and he had not expected to meet her again in Taiyi Spacetime.
"Take your time, there's no time limit." You Teng smiled at them and then disappeared.
Lu Yin was grateful. "Thank you, senior."
After You Teng left, Lu Yin spread out his domain and confirmed that no one was watching him before looking at Zi Jing.
At this moment, Zi Jing was looking at him with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yin asked.
Zi Jing looked at him deeply. "Is it too tempting for a Progenitor to kneel in front of me?"
Lu Yin raised a brow. "Not at all."
Zi Jing did not understand. "Why?"
Lu Yin's gaze was deep as he bent down and approached Zi Jing. From a distance, it looked like he was hugging her, but in reality, he was whispering into her ear, "Shortening Lifespan."
Zi Jing was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
Lu Yin smiled. "I'm just joking. Why? Is someone trying to tempt you?"
Zi Jing nodded and then recounted what had happened.
Lu Yin was shocked. "Imprisoning a Progenitor? No wonder you were so agitated. Even I couldn't resist the temptation. A person's perception is like a scale. Conscience and benefits are split into two sides, and there is no absolute balance. It all depends on which side is heavier. The weight given to you by Hyperspace is really heavy."
Zi Jing was puzzled. "Aren't you going to ask me what I think?"
Lu Yin replied, "I'm still here safe and sound, which means that this weight hasn't crushed you."
Zi Jing was helpless. "Actually, I hesitated. Progenitors are the peak of human cultivation, and they're considered the strongest among humans. Even so, I was still imprisoned. Hyperspace's power is too terrifying, and they can make a Progenitor kneel in front of me. The temptation of this power is too great."
"Then why weren't you tempted?"
Lu Yin asked.
Zi Jing met his gaze. "If I said that I was waiting for a more suitable time, would you believe me?"
Lu Yin raised a hand and slowly placed it on Zi Jing's forehead. Zi Jing stood in place and did not move. She just looked at him.
Lu Yin stroked her hair, "I see something different in your eyes, and it's too obvious. Since it's already here, it won't fade away. Since that's the case …" His lips curled up, "Then let it sprout and grow."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll betray you one day?"
Zi Jing did not understand.
Lu Yin laughed. "Even if they can make a Progenitor kneel in front of you, it won't change the fact that you have to kneel in front of that woman. But I can change that."
Zi Jing's eyes flashed, and she took a deep breath. She smiled bitterly and looked into the distance. "I never thought that I would be controlled by ambition one day. I escaped from Hyperspace because I didn't want to help them or be restricted. I wanted to live freely, but in the end, I couldn't avoid it."
Lu Yin said, "You should rejoice that you were used one day. Not everyone has the right to arouse ambition. In order to arouse your ambition, they even revealed something as confidential as Liu Yun's imprisonment."
Zi Jing nodded. "I understand."
"Alright, let's get down to business. What happened to make you exceed the time limit?
Why did they do everything they could to change your personality and arouse your ambition? "
Lu Yin was curious. This matter was neither difficult nor easy. A person's heart was the hardest to change, and Hyperspace had paid a great price to change Zi Jing's mind.
Before this, they had not changed Zi Jing in any way, which was strange. Unless Zi Jing had done something that forced them to think of a way to change her personality.
Zi Jing's fingers trembled. "I've materialized. Matter sequence particles."
Lu Yin frowned. "What do you mean?
You mentioned it to me back in the Fifth Mainland, but I didn't understand it. "
Zi Jing solemnly replied, "I didn't understand it before either. Although I grasped the technique of materializing particles, I didn't know what it was used for. I only knew that it could be used to destroy spacetime, which was why I fled. Now, I think I understand a little."
"Simply put, Hyperspace has finished analyzing all matter in a spacetime, and those matters cannot be seen. They can only be materialized through cultivation techniques."
Zi Jing looked at Lu Yin and felt a headache coming on. She did not know how to explain it. "The birth of humans is not a coincidence. Many people say that they live on a certain planet and that they are fortunate that the planet's temperature and environment are suitable for human survival. However, this is wrong. On the contrary, it is precisely because of that environment that humans were born. If humans were born from magma, then our current environment would no longer be suitable."
"The same is true for the universe. There are countless lifeforms and substances in the universe, and these substances are all based on the current universe's operations. The universe created them, and they are not the ones adapting to the universe. We call this the Matter Sequence."
"What I'm doing is to materialize the Matter Sequence. Think about it, once the Matter Sequence is disrupted, what will happen to this universe?"
Lu Yin's eyes trembled. He was not stupid, and he did not understand the technical terms, but he understood what she meant. "You're saying that you're disrupting the universe's laws?"
Zi Jing nodded. "You can understand it that way. The laws are illusory and difficult to see, let alone disrupt. But now, Hyperspace can already see the laws of the Spacetime Sequence. They're creating an antimatter sequence that can reverse the Matter Sequence. Once it's created and released in that spacetime, it's enough to overturn the Spacetime Sequence, reorganize the universe, and wipe out all life before being reborn.
"This is the destruction of the universe, and it's not something that humans or any other lifeform can resist. Progenitors can change the heavens and the earth, but they cannot destroy the universe. Once the universe is reorganized, all life and matter will have to start anew. This is what Hyperspace is planning to do, and it's also the third war cultivation technique after the Energy Source and the Blessing Technique."
Lu Yin stared blankly at Zi Jing. Reorganizing the universe was a huge concept, and he had fought many Progenitors before. Progenitors could act without restraint in outer space, tear through the void, and destroy civilizations, but they could not destroy the entire universe. "Can something like this really happen?"
Zi Jing did not answer. She was also confused, but her teacher's reaction proved that it could be done.
"Hyperspace imprisoned Drifting Cloud. Did they analyze the Matter Sequence of the Drifting Cloud Space?"
Lu Yin asked.
Zi Jing nodded. "That's right. They're using the Drifting Cloud Space as an experiment to test out the possibility of the Antimatter Sequence."
"The more you see, the easier it is to grow ambitious. Those in power in Hyperspace are not satisfied with their current status, and they want to replace the Reincarnation Spacetime." Lu Yin sighed. "If the Reincarnation Spacetime finds out, do you think they'll fight?"
Zi Jing asked, "Does the Path Master want to tell the Reincarnation Spacetime?"
"Not to that extent." Lu Yin looked at Zi Jing. "You don't want to tell them right now, do you?"
