Not long after, they crossed the ten meter gap and Xu Leng was delighted. "I won, I won!" She thanked Lu Yin.
Lu Yin laughed. "Seniors, please go to the left, and I'll go to the right. I'll give you a quiet place to talk in a day without anyone disturbing you."
"There's no need, little brother," Xu Heng spoke up from behind. "You can listen. It's fine."
Xu Leng stared at Xu Heng coldly. "I won. Does the bet from before still count?"
Lu Yin did not know what the bet was, but it had nothing to do with him. Xu Heng was also grateful to him, so it had nothing to do with him.
Xu Heng smiled. "Of course it counts. Leng 'er, you won."
Xu Leng's lips curled up. "You can speak now. I can still listen to two hours of nonsense."
Xu Heng glanced at Lu Yin gratefully.
He then cleared his throat. "Leng 'er, then I'll speak."
Xu Leng snorted, but she did not speak or interrupt.
"First, the Yin Yang Sword is indeed not in the hands of my Void Yang Clan," Xu Heng said. In the past, Xu Leng would interrupt him whenever he said this, but now, there was a restriction. Xu Leng was about to speak, but she held herself back and listened quietly. She definitely did not believe him.
"I know you don't believe me, so I'll start from the beginning. Back then, Master Xu Yi had two direct bloodlines. The ancestors of the Void Yang Clan and the Void Yin Clan were fellow disciples, and the two of them …"
Xu Heng began his two-hour speech, but he did not notice that Lu Yin's expression changed when he heard the words "Yin Yang Sword."
Yin Yang Sword?
It couldn't be the sword in his hand, right? It couldn't be that coincidental.
Lu Yin had originally planned to continue moving forward. Since the two had been talking for two hours without moving, two hours would be enough for him to put some distance between them. However, when he heard the words "Yin Yang Sword," Lu Yin stopped and listened.
As Xu Heng spoke, Xu Leng's expression gradually changed. Xu Heng recounted the entire process of the Yin Yang Sword's appearance and its disappearance. He also provided evidence that the sword was definitely not in the hands of the Void Yang Clan. "You were certain that the Yin Yang Sword was in our hands because your mother told you …"
An hour later, Xu Leng's face paled. "Why didn't you say this before?"
Xu Heng was bitter. "Do I have the right to speak?"
Xu Leng opened his mouth, his eyes dim.
"I've explained the Yin Yang Sword. Now, let's talk about something else," Xu Heng continued. Two hours passed very quickly, but he didn't stop. Xu Leng didn't interrupt him either.
Xu Heng spoke for a long time, explaining one matter after another, resolving one misunderstanding after another.
After hearing so much, Lu Yin admired Xu Leng's mother the most. She had actually thought of all sorts of ways to create so many misunderstandings between Xu Leng and Xu Heng, making it impossible for the two of them to ever be together. Xu Leng's mother understood Xu Heng's temperament all too well. With so many misunderstandings, Xu Leng definitely would not have calmly listened to Xu Heng's explanation. If not for Lu Yin, these misunderstandings would have continued for who knew how long until they died.
In the history of mankind, many grudges originated from misunderstandings. These two words brought no less slaughter and death than wars. Some wars even originated from these two words.
Lu Yin continued forward, as he had no interest in listening to Xu Heng's confession. He already knew that the sword in his cosmic ring was the Yin Yang Sword that they had been painstakingly searching for. It had come from Master Xu Yi, and the ancestors of the Void Yang Tribe and Void Yin Tribe had been Master Xu Yi's disciple.
This made Lu Yin feel a little guilty, even though he had not taken the Yin Yang Sword from either of these two tribes.
Although he had left, it was indeed with him.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Heng's voice rang out. "Little brother, please wait." Lu Yin was startled, and he slowly turned around.
Xu Heng had already stopped speaking, and he looked at Lu Yin with a grateful gaze. Xu Leng's entire person had changed, and he had become much gentler, as if his edges had been ground away.
At this moment, Lu Yin was still quite a distance away from them, but for people at their cultivation levels, this distance was not considered too far.
They had already been talking for a few days.
Xu Heng bowed to Lu Yin from afar.
Lu Yin hurriedly stopped him. "Senior, there's no need for that."
Xu Heng was solemn. "Of course. Little brother's kindness to me cannot be described in a few words, and it's not just for me." He then looked at Xu Leng.
Xu Leng bowed to Lu Yin from afar as well. "Me too."
"It's for our two tribes," Xu Heng replied. He then looked at Lu Yin. "Little brother's help can be considered to have saved both of our tribes to a certain extent, and we sincerely thank you again. If you need any help in the future, you must find the Void Yang Tribe and the Void Yin Tribe. Our tribes will do our best to help."
Lu Yin smiled. "Seniors, there's no need to be too concerned."
Xu Leng smiled for the first time. "Brother Xuan Qi, if you don't mind, you can be my little brother, and I, Xu Heng, will be your big brother. Remember to look for us if you need anything. No matter what it is, we are not ungrateful people."
Lu Yin could feel their sincerity, but it also made him feel even more uneasy. The path of cultivation was filled with intrigue and killing. He had also experienced the struggle for power in the Fifth Mainland, and such pure emotions were too rare. Ming Yan, Highsage Leon, Big Sis, Wendy Yushan, Hui Kong, the mentors of the Astral Combat Academy, Elder Chan, Senior Brother Qing Ping, and Senior Brother Mu Xie were all from the Yin and Void factions of the Six Direction Society. Now, there were these two more people.
Although they had not known each other for long and had only met once, Lu Yin could feel their heartfelt gratitude and commitment.
He wanted to take out the Yin Yang Sword and give it to them, but he could not do so. If he did, it would only make them suspicious of his intentions and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Little brother understands. Big Brother Xu Heng, Big Sis Xu Leng, if it's possible, I'll help you find the Yin Yang Sword and give it to you. Although my cultivation is low, I know many people," Lu Yin said loudly.
Xu Heng laughed. "Thank you, Brother Xuan Qi. I wish you all the best as you pass the Void Gate."
Xu Leng rolled her eyes. "Don't say such empty words. It's impossible to pass the Void Gate." She then looked at Lu Yin and smiled. "Don't be so stubborn. No one has been able to pass the Void Gate for so many years, so I won't pretend to give you my blessings."
Xu Heng smiled bitterly.
"If possible, I hope to invite you to my Void Yin Tribe as a guest."
Xu Heng's eyes lit up. "I'll definitely invite you to my tribe as a guest."
Lu Yin smiled. "Alright, I'll definitely go when I have time."
"Have a safe journey, Brother. Although it's impossible, I still hope that you can pass the Void Gate and achieve this miracle that no one has ever been able to achieve," Xu Heng shouted.
With his blessings, Lu Yin continued forward, feeling very comfortable inside.
Meeting these two wasn't bad either.
As he watched Lu Yin leave, Xu Heng sighed. "The younger generation is catching up. Leng 'er, we need to work hard as well."
Xu Leng rolled her eyes.
"What's the point of working hard? We learned Master Xu Yi's ultimate technique, and we've already reached the peak. If we can't find the Yin Yang Sword, we'll never be able to break through to the Virtual Realm."
Xu Heng felt a headache coming on. "That's right. Now that our misunderstanding has been resolved, let's work together and mobilize both tribes to find the Yin Yang Sword. Once we find it, we might be able to both break through to the Virtual Realm and shock the Void God Spacetime."
"Who's with you? Shameless!" Xu Leng blushed.
Xu Heng laughed. "Void Yin and Void Yang, it's time for us to work together and shock the Void God Spacetime. They might have forgotten the fear of being dominated by Master Xu Yi."
…
Xu Heng and Xu Leng stopped advancing, and Lu Yin continued forward alone, heading towards the center of the Void Gate.
Actually, this place wasn't very far from the center of the Void Gate, and not just anyone could reach this place.
A few days later, Lu Yin saw someone lying face up on the waves with his head resting on his arms. There was a drink on his body, and he was leisurely humming an unknown tune as he floated away from the waves. He seemed to be very relaxed. It was a man who looked very ordinary. He had dark skin and wore something that looked like sunglasses.
When the man brushed past Lu Yin, he pulled out a drink and offered it to Lu Yin. "Want one?"
"No, thank you," Lu Yin replied. He remained silent as he continued forward. His heart was in turmoil. A Progenitor! It was actually a Progenitor! What the hell? He had actually encountered another Progenitor in the Void Pass! Had this person seen through his concealment?
Death Face's concealment ability was very strong, and Bai Sheng hadn't been able to tell back then. However, Xu Wuwei had. Lu Yin wasn't sure about this person's abilities, but he didn't plan on saying anything.
As he watched Lu Yin continue forward, the man took a sip of his drink and adjusted his sunglasses. "Interesting." He then continued to lie down on the tidal wave and floated outwards in a rather contented manner.
A few days later, Lu Yin finally relaxed. It wasn't easy to encounter a Progenitor, but he had. He didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky.
He looked up and saw a vortex at the center of the Void Gate. Xu Xiangyin had said that every generation, there would be people who would rush into the vortex, but they would quickly be thrown out. No one could truly enter, and only by entering and receiving the light from the sky would one be considered to have passed the Void Gate.
However, according to Xu Xiangyin's words, he wouldn't be able to see the light from the sky in this lifetime.
Lu Yin was the only one around the vortex, and he could see through the Void God's power. He continued to push forward until he finally reached the vortex's entrance and squeezed in.
After struggling with the tidal waves for so long, he had thought that he would face an even greater force after entering the vortex, but he had never expected that he would crash right into it. There was no tidal force at all, and his surroundings were pitch black. Lu Yin subconsciously released his domain to sense his surroundings, but in the next moment, a familiar energy surged in from all directions. It was astral source.
Lu Yin's expression changed. Astral source?
Why was there astral source energy here?
This astral source energy had appeared suddenly, and it was vast and majestic. It was full of pressure, but it suddenly disappeared as soon as it arrived. The astral source vortex within Lu Yin's body continued to rotate, absorbing the surrounding astral source energy.
This was either astral source energy from the Reincarnation Space-Time or from the Fifth Mainland. Or rather, it was from the Primordial Space.
A name suddenly appeared in Lu Yin's mind: Wu Tian.
Could this energy have come from Wu Tian?
Suddenly, Lu Yin's body began to plummet, and he couldn't control himself. The surrounding astral source energy exerted a pressure that was at the level of a Progenitor. Unless he released the Divine Seal Catalog and borrowed the power of a Progenitor to resist, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it.
