Lu Yin replied, "Since this is the Grand Empyrean's arrangement, there must be a reason for it. I just want to know how Senior Stone Saint died in battle."
Of course, he cared about this. One of the reasons he had joined the Six Direction Association was to learn more about the Eternals' strength.
It was impossible for the Eternals to only have seven Progenitors in the Seven Skygods. The Six Direction Association, along with the other parallel spacetimes and the Primordial Space, had quite a few Progenitors. Even so, they were still suppressed by the Eternals.
Shi Jiao's eyes dimmed. "Stone Saint died at Cheng Kong's hands."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Cheng Kong?
That Dreamlike Bubble? "
Shi Jiao nodded. "Tu Shuangshuang, who captured you, was Cheng Kong's disciple. Cheng Kong is very mysterious, and no one knows his identity, not even his gender. He's best at finding weaknesses. Stone Saint was the closest to death out of the Reincarnation Spacetime's Nine Sages, and Cheng Kong targeted him. Unfortunately, Lotus Sovereign was unable to save him in time.
"Over the years, no less than three Progenitors have died at Cheng Kong's hands."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Killing at least three Progenitors?
What kind of concept was that?
Lu Yin had to team up with Mu Xie and Elder Chan just to deal with Mu Jun. Progenitors were very difficult to deal with, especially those who were focused on escaping. They could escape by tearing through the void, but Cheng Kong had managed to kill three of them.
"Even the Grand Empyrean can't find Cheng Kong?"
Lu Yin did not understand.
Shi Jiao explained, "The Grand Empyrean's opponent is the only True God, and the one chasing after Cheng Kong is the Sanctification. However, they have not been able to track him down after so many years. Instead, Cheng Kong instigated Tu Shuangshuang to defect. This matter has made the Sanctification the laughingstock of the entire Reincarnation Spacetime." At this point, her eyes suddenly lit up. "Xuan Qi, are you interested in becoming a Sanctification?"
Lu Yin was surprised. "A Sanctification?"
Shi Jiao whispered, "Tu Shuangshuang was instigated by Cheng Kong, and Shao Qingfeng and the others were captured. This caused dissatisfaction in various spacetimes, and even Shao Qingfeng's master, Sovereign Shaoyin, reported this to the Grand Empyrean. There are rumors that the Sanctification will be stripped of their positions, and once that happens, the position will be taken by someone else."
"Right now, many people are trying their best to join the ranks of the Divine Transformation Realm. Once the position of the Divine Transformation Realm is taken away, they will most likely inherit it."
Lu Yin shook his head. "I still want to join the Void God's Universe."
Without the position of the Great Stone Saint, Shi Jiao couldn't persuade Lu Yin so naturally, but she still said, "It's a good thing that you're a loyal person, but in the world of cultivation, it could easily become a fatal flaw. Xuan Qi, Xu Xiangyin is very good to you, but there's a limit to what he can give you. Even if he recommends an extremely strong person to you as a teacher, the possibility of you becoming a Void God is very low because of Xu Wang's attack."
Lu Yin wanted to say something, but Shi Jiao cut him off. "Or to put it another way, you can help Xu turn to Yin."
Lu Yin was confused. "Help Senior Xu Xiangyin?"
Shi Jiao asked, "Do you know about the Endless Battlefield?"
Lu Yin's eyes trembled. "I do. Apparently, it's the place where the Six Direction Association and the Eternals fight."
Shi Jiao nodded, her eyes filled with melancholy and lingering fear. "That's right. The Endless Battlefield is a place where the Six Direction Association connects many desolate parallel spacetimes to form a barrier outside the Six Direction Association's parallel spacetimes. It's the main battlefield against the Eternals. No matter who it is, they have to enter the Endless Battlefield at regular intervals, and even extreme powerhouses are no exception. Since ancient times, no less than twenty extreme powerhouses have died in the Endless Battlefield. The Great Stone Saint died in the Endless Battlefield, and Xu Xiangyin is nearing the age limit to enter the Endless Battlefield.
Once he enters the Endless Battlefield, his life and death will no longer be in his own hands.
"If you really want to help him, then become a powerhouse as quickly as possible and enter the Endless Battlefield to protect his life. Otherwise, with his strength, it will be difficult for him to return alive.
"Don't think that the higher your cultivation, the better your chances of survival. There are some battles that only people at our level can participate in. Xu Xiangyin was lucky enough to return alive last time, but that might not be the case this time."
Lu Yin lowered his head. The Endless Battlefield was also known as the Hundred Alliance Battlefield. The Six Direction Association had unearthed sixty-two parallel spacetime civilizations, either allying with them or conquering them and pulling them into the Endless Battlefield. The Endless Battlefield was even more intense than the Six Direction Association's parallel spacetime, and there were all sorts of civilizations and wars.
Lu Yin had heard about it not long after arriving at the Six Direction Training Hall from Luo Lao 'er.
According to Luo Lao 'er, he would rather die than go to the Endless Battlefield. If he went, he would not be able to return.
In reality, the Endless Battlefield was equivalent to the battlefield on the other side of the Astral Tree. The Astral Tree had the Mother Tree and Unlimited Kinetic Energy to keep the Eternals outside, while the Endless Battlefield was the Six Direction Association's Mother Tree and Unlimited Kinetic Energy. The Six Direction Association had filled the Endless Battlefield with too many people, and they had allied with various parallel spacetimes to fight to the death against the Eternals. That was how they had been able to keep most of the Eternals' forces outside the Six Direction Association. Otherwise, the Six Direction Association would not be in its current state.
Back when the Undying God had been trapped by the Ancestral Mang, the Seven Skygods had come to his rescue, and the Six Direction Association had reclaimed their lost territory. This had forced the Eternals to retreat from the Astral Tree. They could not completely lose their territory in the Six Direction Association's parallel spacetime, or else it would be very difficult to fight their way back because of the Endless Battlefield.
If the Eternals had only lost their territory in the Six Direction Association's parallel spacetime without the Endless Battlefield as a barrier, then the Eternals would not have cared so much.
Overall, the Astral Tree's situation was much better than the Six Direction Association's, as the Mother Tree and Unlimited Kinetic Energy were able to completely isolate the Eternals.
Very few people from the Endless Battlefield could return, so the outside world did not know much about it. They only knew that it was a land of death.
"Our Reincarnation Spacetime has three Nine Sages, and five of them are in the Endless Battlefield, not to mention the other spacetimes. You can imagine how terrifying the Endless Battlefield is," Shi Jiao said.
Lu Yin looked up with a resolute gaze. "This junior understands. If possible, this junior will fight for the position of Sanctification."
Shi Jiao smiled. "That's good."
She had her own reasons for advising Lu Yin to fight for the position of Sanctification.
Based on Lu Yin's behavior, Shi Jiao felt that she had treated him quite well. Once he became an extreme powerhouse, she would have another backer. Compared to having an extreme powerhouse as a backer in the future, it was much more worth it to say a few more words and use her brain.
"By the way, senior, who will inherit the Great Stone Saint's position?"
Lu Yin was curious. Although he had no intention of inheriting the position, this person had basically robbed him of his opportunity, which made him quite unhappy.
Shi Jiao frowned. "I don't know."
Lu Yin was shocked. "You don't know?"
Shi Jiao said in a low voice, "This person is not from our Reincarnation Spacetime, but no one in the Great Stone Sect knows where he came from or where he came from. Probably only a few people like the Grand Empyrean know."
Lu Yin grunted and did not pay too much attention to it.
"The Stone Gate Eight Hands and the Stone Mace Technique will soon be removed from the Reincarnation Dao Academy and replaced by the Heavenly Transformation Technique," Shi Jiao reminded him. "You should be able to see how important the Reincarnation Time and Space is to the Six Direction Dojo. Whoever abdicates will have their power appear here. This is equivalent to telling everyone that this seat can appear from the Six Direction Dojo. This is also why I was certain that you were very likely to inherit the position of the Great Stone Saint.
That's why. "
"It's still the same even now. Properly cultivate the Heavenly Conversion Technique and attract the attention of the Reincarnation Spacetime. The Grand Empyreans might look over here."
Her last sentence made Lu Yin's hair stand on end. Being seen by a Grand Empyrean?
How could that be?
His Death Mask could fool Bai Sheng, but it definitely could not fool a Grand Empyrean. He did not know how many powerhouses in the Six Direction Training Grounds could see through his Death Mask, which made him especially wary.
Shi Jiao quickly left.
She was right. A few days later, the Reincarnation Dao Academy's entry technique was changed to the Heavenly Conversion Technique, and the Stone Gate Eight Hands and the Stone Truncheon Technique were removed.
This move caused the Six Direction Training Grounds to erupt into an uproar, and countless people looked at the Reincarnation Dao Academy with longing.
News that the Holiness Transformation Technique could be replaced had long since spread. Now, anyone who could cultivate the Heavenly Conversion Technique well would have a chance to become a Holiness Transformation Technique in the future.
Although the Holiness Transformation Technique could be replaced, no one knew how long it would take. Since the Heavenly Conversion Technique was placed in the Reincarnation Dao Academy, many people believed that they had enough time to cultivate it.
Instantly, everyone rushed to the Reincarnation Dao Academy, including those from the Grand Path Training Grounds.
The Heavenly Conversion Technique was a Holiness Transformation Technique that could dissolve all forms of energy, absorb it, and transform it into one's own strength.
Tu Shuangshuang could rely on the Heavenly Conversion Technique to fight against Shao Qingfeng and the others. She could even suppress Jiang Xiaodao, which showed how powerful this technique was.
The appearance of the Heavenly Conversion Technique attracted even Xu Xiangyin. In Xu Xiangyin's words, the Stone Gate no longer fought over Lu Yin, as Lu Yin was practically someone from the Void God Universe. Xu Xiangyin urged Lu Yin to cultivate well and find an opportunity to bring him to the Void God Universe to meet Senior Xu Wuwei.
Lu Yin was very curious about Xu Wuwei's strength, mainly because he wanted to find out if Xu Wuwei could see through Death Mask's disguise.
"Senior Xu Wuwei." Xu Xiangyin raised his head, his eyes filled with reverence. "He's one of the oldest powerhouses in the Void God Universe. In terms of age, he should be second only to the Void Master."
When he heard this, Lu Yin was certain that he could not meet Xu Wuwei. That would be courting death, as this person was definitely not below Bai Wangyuan and the others. It would be difficult for Lu Yin to be confident that Death Mask would not be seen through.
The method of not meeting Xu Wuwei was simple: learn the Heavenly Conversion Technique, and the better one learned it, the more competition there would be. If the Stone Gate could compete with Xu Xiangyin, then so could the Holiness Transformation Technique.
Lu Yin ended his seclusion with anticipation and walked out. A jade stone fell to the ground, containing a portion of the Heavenly Conversion Technique's cultivation method.
With Lu Yin's current cultivation, he could easily master the Reincarnation Spacetime's battle techniques and cultivate them at an astonishing speed. For example, the Stone Gate's Eight Hands could frighten even the Stone Saint if he wanted to. That was what he thought when he saw the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Conversion Technique.
However, when he actually saw the Heavenly Conversion Technique's cultivation method, he was stunned. Even if he did not have his current cultivation, he could still cultivate it quickly. Wasn't this the same cultivation method as Lockbreaking?
Lockbreaking required one to decompose star energy to retrieve treasures. One's control of star energy had to be ever-changing, and one had to be able to clearly see the star energy of a sealed treasure and use it to resolve it.
The Heavenly Conversion Technique followed the same principle. It required one to analyze the nature of an opponent's power in the shortest amount of time and then use one's own power to resolve or even absorb it and turn it into one's own power.
