Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Up until now, he had already sealed three gods: Nong Yi, Liu Yun, and Mu Jun. None of them could compare to Xia Shenji, who was an absolute Progenitor. He had forcefully withstood the combined attack of the Death God's Left Arm and Gou Lian, who had exhausted the Kun Ze's deathly aura. If not for Lu Yin's clone being heavily injured in the previous battle, he would have had to endure Xia Shenji's peak attack.
Xia Shenji could be considered at the level of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, surpassing the three Progenitors that Lu Yin had sealed before.
To exaggerate, those three Progenitors might not be Xia Shenji's match even if they teamed up.
Sealing Xia Shenji required a bit of risk. If he was not careful, he might suffer a backlash, just like what had happened to Mu Xie.
However, Lu Yin was much stronger than before, so he should be able to succeed.
Sealing Godhood had nothing to do with one's current state. Even if Xia Shenji was heavily injured and on the verge of death, it would not increase his chances of sealing Godhood. What mattered was the will of the person sealed and their strength.
Lu Yin's eyes gleamed as he watched the shadow slowly enter the Divine Seal Catalog and brand itself onto it. He finally relaxed; he had succeeded.
Elder Chan smiled; he had succeeded. With Xia Shenji's help, Lu Yin would not be too passive when facing opponents like Bai Wangyuan or Wang Fan. Xia Shenji was very strong.
Xia Shenji relaxed as well. As long as he succeeded in sealing Godhood, Lu Yin would definitely use his strength in battle, and he would not die.
He had finally replaced his main body, and he wanted to be the true Xia Shenji.
After sealing Godhood, Lu Yin, Elder Chan, and Xia Shenji left Eternal Darkness. Although the wooden house had been destroyed, no one knew that an earth-shattering battle between Progenitors had taken place here.
If the battle had taken place here, the Middle Realm or even the Top Realm would have been overturned.
"Senior," Lu Yin called out.
Mu Xie walked out.
Xia Shenji raised his brows. There was more?
He did not know that Lu Yin had invited Mu Xie.
This was Lu Yin's method of guarding against clones. The Nine Clones Technique would affect the main body, and he was not sure if a clone could replace the main body. Thus, he had asked Mu Xie to watch over the side. If the clone failed, Mu Xie would immediately act and cooperate with them to eliminate Xia Shenji as quickly as possible.
"Did you succeed?" Mu Xie looked at Xia Shenji.
Lu Yin nodded. "I should have succeeded, but just in case …" He looked at Xia Shenji. "You don't mind having something in your body, right?"
Xia Shenji opened his mouth wide. "You still don't trust me?
I've already been sealed as a god. How can I be Xia Shenji?
There's no way Xia Shenji would be willing to become a god. "
Lu Yin shrugged. "Even Xia Shenji was deified by Ancestor Lu Tianyi. At that time, he didn't seem to be on good terms with my Lu family. A Progenitor can adjust one's state of mind, but you took an entire day to do so."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he did not wait for Xia Shenji to agree. He turned to Mu Xie and said, "Senior Brother, sorry for the trouble."
Mu Xie attacked, and the Evil Relic flew towards Xia Shenji.
Elder Chan had appeared on the other side at some point. The three of them surrounded Xia Shenji.
Xia Shenji felt helpless. Of the three of them, there was no need to talk about Lu Yin. Mu Xie was also extremely powerful, and even Bai Wangyuan was wary of him. Mu Xie was a little unfathomable. As for Elder Chan, once he unleashed Lu Tianyi's true strength, there weren't many in the entire Six Direction Society who could stop him.
Being surrounded by the three of them, even Wang Fan and Bai Wangyuan felt chills down their spines, let alone him.
They had no choice but to accept reality.
In the distance, Xia Luo watched quietly. He looked at the once high and mighty figure.
Ancestor Xia Shenji, who had never been able to meet him, was now under Lu Yin's control. This scene was enough to topple everyone's imaginations.
This was Lu Yin.
He had once helped Xia Jiuyou merge with Xia Jiuyou, but that had been with Xia Ji's approval. Otherwise, no one would have succeeded if Xia Ji had interfered. Now, Lu Yin didn't need anyone's approval.
He had dealt with Shen Wutian, so who would be next?
The Frigid Immortal Sect?
Or the Wang family?
In the end, this Astral Tree still belonged to the Lu family.
The Evil Relic had entered Xia Shenji's body to control him, and because Xia Shenji was heavily injured, Lu Yin had even used the Grim Reaper's Seal. Even Elder Chan felt pity for Xia Shenji. Godhood, Evil Relic, and Grim Reaper's Seal … Even the real Xia Shenji would feel despair at this moment, let alone a clone.
Xia Shenji was truly in despair. Fortunately, he didn't plan on becoming Lu Yin's enemy, so these control methods were useless.
"Location." Lu Yin looked at Xia Shenji. His gaze seemed calm, but it was filled with anxiety.
Xia Shenji panted heavily. "I can sense it, but I can't bring it back. Even with your current strength, it'll be difficult to bring the Lu family back. The Eternals won't let the Lu family return."
Lu Yin fell silent. After a while, he said, "Go back, Ancestor Xia."
Xia Shenji exhaled and staggered into the void, heading back to Shen Wutian.
His injuries could only be healed on their own.
After Xia Shenji left, Lu Yin looked into the distance and saw Xia Luo.
Xia Luo walked over and bowed. "Path Master."
Lu Yin looked at Xia Luo. Things had remained the same, but people had changed. When he had first stepped onto the path of cultivation, Xia Luo, Silver, and Lulu had all left Earth together. Now, each of them had their own opportunities.
"Are you planning on returning to Shen Wutian or something else?" Lu Yin asked.
Xia Luo shook his head. "Let's go to the Six Direction Society. I'll see the wider sky there."
Lu Yin understood. As the Six Direction Society came into contact with the Primordial Space, more and more people wanted to take a look. Back then, the Grand Empyrean had forbidden anyone from entering the Primordial Space without permission, so it wasn't easy for them to leave. Now, the Primordial Space had become one of the Six Direction Societies, and people from various parallel universes would come here. The Grand Empyrean had also lifted the ban, and the Primordial Space and the Six Direction Societies would merge.
Yi Xing's arrival was a sign.
Xia Luo and the others wanted to leave the Primordial Space and head to the Six Direction Society.
"Good luck." Lu Yin smiled.
Xia Luo smiled. "Path Master, the people who leave the Primordial Space won't disappoint you."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. Indeed, the Primordial Space and the Six Direction Society were merging in parallel universes. It was time for them to reevaluate this place.
Leng Qing had broken through to Progenitor, so who would be next?
It should be soon.
The one who truly needed to break through to Progenitor was himself. Only by breaking through would he be able to bring the Lu family back?
How long would it take?
How far would that be?
Although he had dealt with Xia Shenji, Lu Yin was still in a bad mood.
He returned to the Above Heaven's Sect and went to the Astral River with a gloomy mood. He sat on the beach and stared at the deep starry sky, deep in thought.
After a long time, Kui Luo came and grumbled, "You didn't catch anything again. Is it that hard to catch a fish?"
Patting the dust off his clothes, Kui Luo came to Lu Yin's side and sat down. "Are you in a bad mood?"
Lu Yin muttered, "When can I break through to Progenitor?"
Kui Luo sneered, "That's an old question.
I often ask myself. Lu Buzheng, Hen Xin, which one of them doesn't ask themselves?
Maybe they ask themselves a thousand times a day. The more they want to break through, the harder it is to do so. Leng Qing was the one who broke through first. What a waste. "
Kui Luo took out a bottle of wine and took a sip.
Lu Yin sighed, "If I don't break through to Progenitor, how can I bring the Lu family back?
That's too far away. "
Kui Luo didn't hear him clearly, "What Lu family?
What do you mean, bring them back? "
Lu Yin told Kui Luo about Xia Shenji. Kui Luo was dumbfounded, "You messed with Xia Shenji?"
Lu Yin was speechless, "I just had a clone replace the main body."
Kui Luo sighed regretfully, "Why didn't you bring me along? What a pity, what a pity. I've always wanted to see the Four Way Libra's defeated face. You ungrateful brat, who saved you? Who told you about the Lu family? Who helped you?
Why didn't you call me when something good happened? "
Lu Yin took a sip of wine, "You can't enter the Progenitor battlefield."
Kui Luo gritted his teeth in anger, "Good, now you don't like this old man, huh? Fine, just wait, this old man will break through to Progenitor soon. Just don't ask me for help when the time comes."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Kui Luo, "You've been a half-step Progenitor for a long time, and you cultivate the Primogenitor Scripture. You're also a powerhouse who broke through three gates. Logically speaking, you should be able to break through to Progenitor. Why haven't you tried?"
Kui Luo rolled his eyes, "Do you think it's that easy to break through to Progenitor?
Leng Qing was the Elysium's leader during the Above Heaven era. Do you know how long he's been a half-step Progenitor?
How long did it take those Progenitors from the Six Directions Society to break through?
How many Progenitors are there in the entire Six Directions Society? "
"It's not that easy. You only have one chance. Who doesn't want to be completely confident before trying? Back then, that Lingzhi Mavis from the Fifth Mainland was too anxious and died."
"That Elder Chan was also forced. Fortunately, he saw through his heart and succeeded in breaking through to Progenitor."
Kui Luo leaned closer to Lu Yin, "Let me tell you, do you know who has the highest chance of breaking through to Progenitor?"
Lu Yin was curious, "Who?"
Kui Luo said, "Shaochen."
"Dean?" Lu Yin was surprised.
Kui Luo nodded, his voice filled with admiration and praise, "He saw through the world and achieved great enlightenment. He crossed the Existent Realm into the Void Realm, and then the Void Realm into the Existent Realm. He directly abandoned astral sources to cultivate, and created a path of cultivation that uses memories as a medium. His inner world is as gentle as water, and he can easily erase powerhouses of the same level. To be honest, although he hasn't been a half-step Progenitor for long, there are too few who can fight him. Only your Third Uncle and the other Elysium leaders can give it a try."
"In the Above Heaven era, he would definitely be one of the twelve Elysium leaders, and one of the strongest."
"This kind of person is either crazy or crazy. He can break through to Progenitor at any time. It all depends on whether he's willing or not."
Lu Yin hadn't expected Kui Luo to think so highly of the crazy dean. The dean hadn't even broken through three stages. "Do you think the dean can surpass you?"
Kui Luo rolled his eyes, "Why be so blunt? That guy also saw a lot of things through Stargazing Deck, and only after he went crazy did he achieve great enlightenment. I don't have that kind of spirit. If you lack Progenitor helpers, you can talk to him. Who knows, he might break through to Progenitor in the middle of the conversation. It'll depend on you."
"With his cultivation method, breaking through to Progenitor might not be a problem."
Lu Yin was tempted. The more Progenitors in Above Heaven, the better. If the crazy dean was as Kui Luo said, that he could break through to Progenitor at any time, then that would be a great boost to Above Heaven's strength.
