At this moment, Leng Qing's sharpness was completely restrained. Even Progenitor realm experts could not see through him.
Leng Qing took a step forward and arrived in front of Lu Yin and the others. She bowed to Lu Yin and said, "Thank you for your guidance."
Lu Buzheng and the others hurriedly retreated. The current Leng Qing's etiquette was not something they could accept. It would be best if they could break through to the Progenitor Realm, but if they could not, they would never be on the same level as Leng Qing.
Logically speaking, Lu Yin shouldn't have accepted it either. However, his words had allowed Leng Qing to successfully seek her heart. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, he had indeed helped Leng Qing break through her ancestral roots.
Some people succeeded in breaking through to the Ancestor Realm and were proud of the heavens, disdaining the mortal world. Some people climbed to the top but were willing to be down-to-earth. Leng Qing was clearly the latter.
Lu Yin smiled. "Senior, it's your own epiphany, and it has nothing to do with me. Congratulations on successfully breaking through."
Leng Qing's expression was calm. Somehow, she felt that she was much easier to get along with than before. "No matter what, thank you, Sect Master, for being able to pass the test of heart examination. What plans do you have for me next?
Will you continue to oversee the Astral Beast Domain or return to the Above Heaven? "
Lu Yin replied, "There's no rush. Let's go to the Above Heaven Sect first …"
Many of the onlookers' expressions changed. They were from the Four Way Balance and the Six Way Gang.
Leng Qing breaking through to the Ancestor Realm had a huge impact. Not to mention his own battle prowess, just his identity as an Ancestor Realm expert added another layer of protection to the Above Heaven Sect. This was not a simple protection, but more like a kind of omen.
If Leng Qing could succeed, then the leader of the Elysium, Lu Buzheng, and the others might have succeeded as well. It should be said that the possibility of success was extremely high. If that was the case, they would have to reevaluate the Above Heavens Sect.
This was without considering Leng Qing's strength.
He was the Sect Master of the Heaven's Gate, a Half Martial Ancestor. Now that he had broken through, he was definitely not someone an ordinary Martial Ancestor could compare to. His combat prowess was unfathomable, and that was the reason why others were wary of him.
The news of Leng Qing breaking through her ancestral roots quickly spread to the Six Directions Guild and Four Way Balance, causing a huge commotion.
However, none of this had anything to do with Lu Yin. Under the suppression of the Grand Empyrean, the Six Direction Society did not dare to cause trouble for the Above Heaven Sect.
The Four Way Scales did not have the ability to cause trouble.
At this moment, Lu Yin was feeling the most comfortable. The more Grandmaster Ancestor powerhouses there were in the sky, the more authority he would have in the Six Directions Association in the future, and the more trouble he would have with the Four Cardinal Scales.
One day, he would tip the scales and return the Starry Sky Tree to the Lu Family.
In the back mountains of Heaven's Sky Sect, Zhao Ran was all smiles as she brewed tea. Ever since she had started following Lu Yin, she had never brewed so many cups of tea in one go. Now that she had brewed seven cups, she was very satisfied.
Lu Yin, the Blood Ancestor, Elder Chan, Liu Yun, Leng Qing, Master Shan, and Senior Brother Mu Xie. Seven Progenitors had gathered at the back of the mountain. This was the first time so many Progenitors had gathered since the establishment of the Above Heaven. Including Jue Jiao and E 'Chi, who could be summoned from the Commander Appointment Platform, Lu Yin had mobilized a total of eight Progenitors, including himself.
Unfortunately, the Blood Ancestor's battle prowess couldn't be counted. He was already in his twilight years.
Master Shan's battle prowess was comparable to the Blood Ancestor's. After all, he used a black energy source.
The path that Above Heaven had to take was long and arduous.
For a day, everyone gathered at the back of the mountain. No one knew what they were talking about.
Lu Buzheng and the others could have joined in, but they did not. This was a gathering of Progenitor Realm experts in the truest sense of the word. If they went, they would feel that something was wrong.
The Blood Ancestor was very happy. Seeing the Above Heaven continuously increase the number of Progenitors meant that this place was growing stronger, and that the humans were growing stronger as well.
A few days later, Lu Yin sat alone at the back of the mountain. He had already undergone eight Origin Tribulations and was at the peak of the Emissary realm.
He had already broken through to the Half-Ancestor realm, and it seemed that he would be able to attempt a breakthrough soon.
Once he became a Half-Ancestor, he would only be one step away from the peak of the human race.
However, that step was extremely difficult to cross.
Leng Qing was naturally overseeing the Above Heaven Sect. The Astral Beast Domain could be sent to the others, as there were still quite a few Half-Ancestors.
Although only Elder Chan and Leng Qing had broken through to the Progenitor realm after the establishment of the Above Heaven Sect, there were nearly ten Half-Ancestors. This was a gratifying number. Although these Half-Ancestors had not broken through the three stages and could not possibly reach the Progenitor realm, they were still quite good.
Lu Yin looked into the distance. It seemed that it was time to go to the Astral Tree Domain to seize the origin item.
Only the Astral Tree Domain had the origin item, and it was in the Sovereign Realm.
However, the Four Cardinal Scales each had their own origin item. The Sovereign Realm's origin item was only used for trials and competition.
Back when he had competed with the Four Young Ancestors, they had all failed. Could it be that none of them had broken through the three stages?
Of course not.
To some people, the Sovereign Realm's competition for the origin item was just for show. It was more like a show of strength for the Four Young Ancestors and pave the way for them to win over followers. Even if they did not obtain the origin item, the people behind them would still give it to them.
The Above Heaven Sect also needed such a foundation.
Not only did they need the origin item, but they also needed tribulation crystals.
It was time for Wendy Yushan to absorb tribulation crystals and break through. Lu Yin wanted to give Zhuo Daynight, Wen Sansi, Ling Gong, and Ku Wei enough resources to break through as long as they had the ability.
However, Chu Yuan, He Luo Mavis, and the others had already broken through the three stages.
Lu Yin had asked around and learned that during the Above Heaven Sect's era, there was no shortage of origin items or tribulation crystals. Cultivation had flourished at that time, and it had been the peak of the human race.
"Path Master, someone by the name of Yi Xing requests an audience," the Second Nightking said respectfully.
He had long since become Lu Yin's servant, and so did the Nightking clan.
The Daynight clan had long since become a thing of the past, and the Third Nightking had already accepted this fact.
Lu Yin was surprised. "Yi Xing?
Bring her here. "
Soon, the Second Nightking arrived with a woman.
The woman had a smile on her face, and her gaze was gentle. She had a graceful temperament, and no matter how one looked at her, she looked like a lady from a wealthy family. She was not like Yi Xing, who wandered the business world and made a living by trading.
"Bilan greets Path Master Lu." The woman approached Lu Yin and slowly bowed.
Lu Yin turned around and smiled at the woman. He gestured for her to take a seat.
Bilan did not stand on ceremony and slowly took a seat. She looked at Lu Yin generously, giving him the feeling that she could open her heart to him.
Lu Yin sat across from her. "I've heard of Yi Xing, but I've never had any dealings with him. Miss Bilan, can you introduce him to me?"
Bilan smiled and said, "Of course you can. Yi Xing travels through the various parallel universes and specializes in evaluating the quality of resources in parallel universes and setting up a reasonable exchange ratio to break through the barriers of parallel universes' transactions. Through this, we collect a meager commission. Dao Master, you can consider us, Yi Xing, as a merchant guild. However, our merchant guild only deals in the exchange of parallel universes and resources, and the commission is 1%.
"Only trade for resources?"
Lu Yin thought back to Zhu Ye, who he had met in the Drifting Cloud Space. That guy had been selling demi-humans. Was that not Yi Xing's business?
Perhaps, that Zhu Ye seemed to be someone from the Zhu Clan's Merchant Association.
Bilan said, "That's right. We only trade for resources and nothing else. I came to find Path Master Lu this time because the Three Sovereigns have opened a passage to the Primordial Space.
The Primordial Space is now connected, and I, Yi Xing, can estimate the exchange ratio between the Primordial Space and the Six Directions Society. From now on, the Primordial Space can exchange for resources from any parallel universe of the Six Directions Society, and the Six Directions Society can also exchange for resources from the Primordial Space. "
Lu Yin was not interested in what she was saying. He could leave the financial matters to Qiong Xi 'er. What he cared about was Yi Xing.
Lu Yin tapped his fingers on the table and sized up Bilan.
This woman's cultivation was not high, and she seemed to have just broken through to become an Envoy. However, Yi Xing's people did not care about cultivation. They had an eye treasure that allowed them to travel through the void.
Back then, Liu Yun could not kill Zhu Ye even if he wanted to. That was one of Yi Xing's methods.
Bilan was not angered by Lu Yin's unbridled gaze, and she generously returned his gaze.
This person was a legend.
As the young master of the Lu family who had been exiled, he had lost his memories and cultivation and had started anew. Yet, in just a few short decades, he had reached the peak and even faced off against the Six Directions Society. His name had reached the ears of the Grand Empyreans, and he had confronted the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages. To be honest, as a member of Yi Xing, Bilan had seen many strange people. Those who could trade with Yi Xing's people were all important figures from various parallel universes, but this was the first time she had met someone like Lu Yin.
This person did not even care about the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages. He had just walked out of the Endless Battlefield, and the Above Heaven had welcomed another powerhouse who had broken through. Bilan felt that this person had the potential to become the chosen one.
She could not be too casual when facing this person.
Even if Yi Xing's people could do as they pleased in the Six Directions Society, this was the Primordial Space, a place that had once given birth to the most glorious Above Heaven. This was a place that everyone in the Six Directions Society would remember, regardless of whether they loathed or hated it. The Primordial Space was different from any other parallel universe of the Six Directions Society, including the Reincarnation Spacetime.
The two looked at each other, both thinking about something.
Zhao Ran had arrived and was preparing tea for Bilan.
Bilan stared blankly at the strange hot tea and then at Zhao Ran. When she saw the expectant look on Zhao Ran's face, she subconsciously looked at Lu Yin.
Was he trying to poison her to death?
This was tea?
It was clearly poison, and there was definitely something alive in it. She had even seen something swimming around.
Lu Yin came back to his senses and saw Bilan looking at the hot tea with a strange expression. He coughed and said, "Zhao Ran prepared this especially for you. Do you want to try it?"
Bilan looked at Lu Yin. "I'm from the Yi Xing Sect. I don't participate in any fights."
Lu Yin laughed. "Don't misunderstand. This is really tea, and it's delicious." He then took a sip himself.
Bilan watched as Lu Yin drank the entire cup of tea without hesitation. She swallowed her saliva and looked at Zhao Ran again.
Zhao Ran stared at her expectantly.
Bilan considered herself to be brave, knowledgeable, and forthright. She had a good reputation in the Yi Xing Sect, but even she had moments of hesitation. She smiled bitterly, picked up the tea, and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Ran's heart ached. She had spent a lot of effort to brew this tea, and it was tasteless to drink it like this.
Bilan put down the cup, and her eyes lit up as she thought about it. "Not bad."
Zhao Ran smiled.
Lu Yin smiled as well. "As long as you like it."
Bilan looked at Zhao Ran. "Can I have another cup?
I'll savor it slowly this time. "
The word 'savor' stimulated Zhao Ran. She became excited and clenched her fists tightly. "Wait."
After saying that, he ran away like a wisp of smoke.
Those who did not know better would have thought that they were fighting.
