The Grand Empyrean tea party was a hobby of the Grand Empyreans. They used tea to make friends and help cultivators gain enlightenment. It was also a chance for them to learn from each other.
Elder Chan suppressed his shock and replied, "I understand. I'll tell the Headmaster."
Chu Jian nodded. "There's one more thing I want to talk to you about. Chu Yuan."
Elder Chan frowned. "Chu Yuan?"
Chu Jian looked at Elder Chan. "Is it convenient?"
Elder Chan had no reason to refuse. This person was called Chu Jian, and this person was called Chu Yuan. He was curious about the connection between the two.
He immediately had someone invite Chu Yuan to the Sky One Sect.
Chu Yuan belonged to the Origin Space, not the Sky One Sect. There was no need for him to stay here.
Lu Yin had restricted them in the past, but not now.
Several days later, Chu Yuan rushed back to the Sky One Sect and met with Chu Jian.
The two stood across from each other on a mountain peak in the Sky One Sect.
"You're Chu Yuan, the Dao Child of the Sky One Sect in the Origin Space?"
Chu Jian was clearly more interested in Chu Yuan than Lu Yin. Lu Yin was just a descendant of the Lu family. Although his talent and fortuitous encounters had allowed him to reach his current position, Chu Jian felt that this person's future wouldn't be higher than Chu Yuan's.
Chu Yuan was the only genius that the Primogenitor had met.
Primogenitors and Grand Empyreans were the peak existences known to humanity. Lu Yin's ancestor was just one of the Six Paths of the Three Realms and was the disciple of a Primogenitor. Chu Jian was the disciple of a Grand Empyrean, so he shouldn't be comparing himself to Lu Yin.
Chu Jian had never looked Lu Yin in the eye. This person's good days had come to an end.
However, Chu Yuan was different. His path had just begun.
Chu Yuan already knew when Elder Chan informed him. "You're the Grand Empyrean's disciple, the perfect Young Sovereign, Chu Jian?"
Chu Jian stared at Chu Yuan. "Our names are almost the same. Do you know the relationship between your Primogenitor and my Master?"
Chu Yuan narrowed his eyes. "I don't know. You can tell me."
Chu Jian looked at Chu Yuan.
A gust of wind blew past, but neither spoke.
At this moment, their auras were extremely similar. Whether it was their names, auras, or even their appearances, they were very similar.
Elder Chan watched from afar. These two couldn't be brothers, right?
Impossible. Chu was too old, while Chu Jian was too young.
"The battle between the older generation has ended with the death of your Primogenitor, but the battle between you and me has only just begun."
Chu Jian's lips curled up as he looked at Chu Yuan. "I'm known as the Perfect Young Master. No matter what I cultivate, I'm extremely fast. My cultivation speed surpasses that of the Six Directions Association, and I have an undefeatable talent. What about you?"
Chu Yuan exchanged glances with Chu Jian. "In our era, the Six Paths Association didn't exist yet. I was Above Heaven's Sect's first continent's Dao Child, the only one who was granted an audience with the Primogenitor. The other Dao Children couldn't tolerate me. In our era, I was absolutely invincible."
Chu Jian smiled. "To be able to meet the Primogenitor, I believe in your abilities. Soon, I will break through to the Immortal Transformation Realm. In other words, I will become the Half Martial Ancestor that you all speak of. I hope that you will be able to catch up to me as soon as possible and fight against me at the same cultivation level to determine the victor. That way, the battle between my master and the Primogenitor will come to an end."
However, Chu Yuan shook his head. "With my current cultivation level, it will take me a very long time to reach the Half Martial Ancestor Realm. Moreover, I'm not in a hurry to break through."
"Then Progenitor Realm it is." Chu Jian was extremely confident. "With our abilities, it would be even better for us to fight in the Progenitor Realm."
Chu Yuan nodded. "Alright, let's fight in the Progenitor Realm."
"Hahahaha, I'll wait for you. I hope that losing to Lu Yin didn't dampen your confidence." Chu Jian laughed.
Chu Yuan's gaze shifted.
"For now, your opponent is him. Don't you want to fight him?" Chu Jian didn't care.
"A temporary victory or defeat doesn't matter. Our limits aren't something that he can compare to. Chu Yuan, I hope that you can set your sights further. You were granted an audience with the Primogenitor while I am a disciple of a Grand Empyrean. As for Lu Yin, he is merely a descendant of the Lu Family. In the future, he will at most reach the Third Venerable level. My hope for you is to be a threat to me, not to be defeated by him."
"Right now, you all might be shocked by his strength, but in the near future, I will let everyone know how terrifying the upper limit is. Humans have an upper limit. Even if he reaches the Progenitor Realm now, his upper limit will be something that he will never be able to break through in his lifetime. As for my upper limit and your upper limit, it is not something that Lu Yin can compare to."
"Don't disappoint me."
With that, Chu Jian left.
His greatest goal in coming here was to challenge Chu Yuan and end the Grand Empyreans and Primogenitors. A mere Lu Yin was nothing more than a splash of water. He might be able to splash high, but he would eventually fall into the river. Only they represented the river and the sea.
Sometimes, people had to keep a low profile. Although he was called the Perfect Young Exalt, where had this title come from? How many examples had there been? How many of the Six Paths Society knew about it?
Those who truly understood didn't even want to talk about it, such as Divine Sovereign Shaoyin.
Did Lu Yin have the qualifications?
He was nothing more than a splash of water.
Chu Yuan was stunned by Chu Jian's confidence. In truth, he had thought the same when he had first broken out of the ice seal. Whether it was during the Above Heaven era or when he had just come out, he had always thought the same.
But after that battle, he had overturned his previous thoughts.
Now, he was certain that he could break through to the Progenitor Realm and reach very high. He would not look down on Lu Yin, especially when he saw that strange power of Lu Yin's.
If Chu Jian continued to think like that, he would be unlucky!
He didn't want himself to be frustrated, and he hoped that Chu Jian wouldn't be frustrated in the future.
Chu Jian also wanted to compete with this person and see what exactly made him so confident.
Ten days later, Lu Yin came out of seclusion.
During this period of seclusion, he had rolled four pips five times, which was equivalent to five years of seclusion. It wasn't a long time, but it had given him a better understanding of Eternal Darkness and the Celestial Eye.
The Eternal Darkness Card could only be used effectively after he broke through to the Half-Ancestor Realm. Otherwise, it would be useless, just like when he had brought Old Monster Mo in.
However, the Celestial Eye was different.
Lu Yin impatiently went to find Zhao Ran, as he wanted to see something from her.
Zhao Ran's identity had always been a mystery, and Lu Yin had even suspected that she was Destiny. He had always been very concerned about her, but she couldn't remember anything, so there was nothing he could do.
Now that he had the Celestial Eye, he naturally looked at her first.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't see anything.
Zhao Ran looked at the Celestial Eye on Lu Yin's forehead and asked curiously, "Your Highness, what is this?"
"Nothing." Lu Yin was disappointed.
"Do you want some tea?" Zhao Ran asked expectantly.
Lu Yin nodded, and his domain swept past the Above Heaven Sect. He found Bu Tian and Xiao Shi. Since he couldn't see through Zhao Ran, he would take a look at Destiny.
Under Lu Yin's command, Bu Tian began to use Destiny.
Lu Yin opened his Celestial Eye, and his eyes lit up. He saw Bu Tian's Destiny transform into a string that shot into the sky. The string was connected to a particle, which should be a sequence particle. Destiny actually allowed a mortal to touch a sequence particle, which was something that not even an ordinary Progenitor could do.
Lu Yin raised a hand and touched his Celestial Eye. Right, this was the strength of the Three Realms.
He clearly wasn't as strong as Old Monster Mo.
However, with his Celestial Eye, he could see sequence particles and see the Laws. Destiny could use Destiny to touch sequence particles, and so could the Grim Reaper. He must have some method to touch or even influence sequence particles.
This was their strength.
It was no wonder why no one had been able to see through Destiny. There were no powerhouses in this space-time who could use sequence particles, which was why no one could see through the power of destiny.
How many people in the Six Direction Society could touch sequence particles?
Old Monster Mo had been one of the Twelve Heavenly Gates' sect masters during the Above Heaven Sect's most glorious era, and he had been one of the strongest cultivators of that era. How many people in the Six Direction Society had lived longer than him?
There probably wasn't even a Dimensional Master.
Lu Yin exhaled, as he had finally seen through Destiny. It was no longer so mysterious and unfathomable.
The power of a Lady of Fate was even simpler. It was no wonder that she had cultivated a thread of destiny. The power of destiny was originally a thread, and using this thread to touch sequence particles, peek into the Laws, and see through the past and present. This was destiny.
He then thought back to the Realm of Indestructible Palm. The Ancient Path Master had created this power with the ultimate goal of reaching the level of sequence particles. In that case, this power should exist at an even more terrifying level. In Lu Yin's opinion, that level might be able to resist sequence particles and use one's own body to resist the Laws of the universe. That was the true Realm of Indestructible.
It was only at this moment that Lu Yin could clearly see the essence of cultivation in this universe and the path that he needed to take in the future.
What level were the Primogenitors, Grand Empyreans, Mister Mu, and the others?
This was what he was most curious about.
"Brother Lu?" Xiao Shi looked at Lu Yin in confusion.
Bu Tian was apprehensive, and he kept looking at Lu Yin's forehead. He kept feeling like he was being watched by something. Lu Yin's forehead did not have those two curved lines that resembled eyes, but now that he had them, his entire person seemed to have changed, becoming even more unfathomable.
The Celestial Eye on Lu Yin's forehead disappeared, and he smiled. "Zhao Ran is coming. Do you want some tea?"
Xiao Shi nodded vigorously. He liked being with Zhao Ran, even if she did not remember giving him any gifts.
Bu Tian excused himself, as he did not want to stay with Lu Yin.
He was the one who truly understood Lu Yin's deepest secrets, and this person would become the greatest traitor to humanity in the future.
"Bu Tian," Lu Yin suddenly said.
Bu Tian was stunned, but he quickly turned around and bowed respectfully. "Path Master."
"Keep an eye on Xia Shenji's clone," Lu Yin said.
If he wanted to know the whereabouts of the Lu family, he would need the Pearl of Destiny and Xia Shenji's clone. However, he could not find the Pearl of Destiny, and the one on the Sixth Mainland had been hidden away by the Eternals. He could only rely on Xia Shenji's clone to find it.
This was his only hope of bringing the Lu family back.
Bu Tian relaxed. "Yes."
At that moment, Elder Chan arrived and told Lu Yin that the Grand Empyrean had invited him to the tea party.
"Ninth?" Lu Yin was astonished.
Elder Chan laughed. "Surprised, right? I was surprised when I heard that too. The Grand Empyrean is not going to let you have an easy time."
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "If he doesn't let me have an easy time, then I'm going to have an easy time."
"Also …" Elder Chan told Lu Yin about the conversation between Chu Yuan and Chu Jian. Chu Jian had not concealed anything and had instead spoken aloud. He did not care if Lu Yin heard it at all.
Lu Yin smiled. "Interesting. I understand now. It seems that this perfect young master is very confident."
"He's about to break through to Half-Ancestor. What about you?" Elder Chan asked.
Lu Yin watched as Zhao Ran walked over with a cup of tea and slowly replied, "Soon. I'll reach peak Envoy first."
It was time to break through.
