To be more precise, this was not a secret in the Progenitor realm, as there were many parallel universes with different time flows. However, it was still considered a secret for those below the Progenitor realm.
Jiang Chen was an exception.
Lu Yin felt helpless. He had lost his title as a genius.
"Since you've succeeded, I'll go back and ask my father to let me travel with you." Jiang Chen was eager to try.
Lu Yin replied, "It's not a trip. It's very dangerous."
"I know. I won't blame you if I die." Jiang Chen then left.
Lu Yin did not know why Jiang Chen had come all this way.
Ye Bo's identity could not be used for the time being, as there was no perfect reason for him to return to the Everlasting Realm.
For now, even Wang Wen and Wei Rong could not think of a perfect reason for Ye Bo to return to the Calamity Zone.
Thus, Lu Yin planned to use this time to search for parallel universes with different time flows to gain a better understanding of the outside.
Jiang Chen and Jiang Chen were the candidates to go to the extraterritorial region. Jiang Qingyue might not go, but they needed an absolute expert. Big Sister was a candidate, but she was too impulsive. Senior Brother Mu Carving might not have the time. Plus, he had to guard the Wood Space-Time Dimension, and Old Ancestor Tianyi had to guard the Starry Sky Tree.
Right, a mount was also needed.
Lu Yin fell into deep thought.
Not long after, the Second Nightking reported, "Daoist Master, the Astral Combat Academy has sent news that the Astral Combat Tournament is about to begin. Do you want to take a look?"
Lu Yin was surprised. "The Astral Combat Tournament?"
"Yes."
Lu Yin's gaze was complicated. Before he knew it, it was time for the Astral Combat Tournament.
Every once in a while, the Astral Combat Academy would hold a tournament. Although they had lost a few students, the tradition of the Astral Combat Tournament had not been abandoned.
Back then, Lu Yin had entered the eyes of countless people in the universe through the Astral Combat Tournament, which had started his legendary life. He wondered if someone like him would appear in this tournament.
"Let's take a look."
Soon, a screen appeared in midair. Lu Yin was seated at a stone table, drinking tea that Zhao Ran had brewed for him as he watched the Astral Combat Tournament.
On the screen, the battles seemed so childish to the current him, but they had surpassed those of his generation.
In his generation, it was difficult to cultivate Battle Force, and Battle Skills were in the hands of the various powerful sects and clans. At that time, he had no idea about the Sixth Mainland or the Starry Sky Tree.
Now, the Fifth Pagoda had allowed countless cultivators to obtain battle techniques, and the various parallel universes of the Six Direction Society had also brought about different cultivation methods. Even the Sixth Mainland's reflection, which the Fifth Mainland viewed as a trashy cultivation method, had been used by the Sixth Mainland. This had caused the Astral Combat Tournament to be filled with drama.
If the current generation of geniuses from the Astral Combat Academy were to compete with the geniuses from his generation, then his generation might not be a match for them.
Unfortunately, Lu Yin's eyes did not light up.
He looked around and suddenly found a familiar face: Coco. That syringe was too eye-catching. "Why is Coco in the Astral Combat Academy?"
The Second Nightking respectfully replied, "Coco is now an external mentor of Astral-10."
So that was how it was. Lu Yin looked at Coco on the screen; she had matured a lot.
The once timid and cute girl was now a teacher.
Suddenly, Lu Yin's expression changed as he remembered. Master Grass, it was Master Grass.
Back then, Jiang Qingyue had mentioned the cultivation of Shi, saying that there was life in the universe and that it could breathe. Lu Yin did not understand, so he had asked Lu Buzheng and the others. Lu Buzheng had said that Lu Yuan's ancestor had also mentioned this before, but because so much time had passed and the Lu family had returned, Lu Yin had forgotten to ask the ancestor.
At the time,
He had a feeling that someone else besides Jiang Qingyue had said this to him before, but he could not recall who it was.
Now that he saw Coco, Lu Yin suddenly recalled that it was Windrift Hall's Master Grass.
"The Gu Flowzone is sick, and I'm treating it."
"The poison's circulation is abnormal, just like how a person's breathing is abnormal."
"When the day comes when you can see that this blade of grass is looking at you, you'll be able to see that the Gu Flowzone is breathing. Or rather, in the universe, any natural state or any operating order can breathe and have life."
These words kept popping up in Lu Yin's mind, all of which had been said by Grandmaster Grasshopper.
He retrieved a small blade of grass from his cosmic ring, which had been given to him by Master Grass. Master Grass had said that if Lu Yin could see the grass looking at him, he would be able to see that the Gu Flowzone was breathing. Lu Yin had never taken this matter to heart, and after that, he had only contacted Master Grass after the appearance of the Human Blood Fruit in the Burial Garden.
Master Grass had always kept a low profile, to the point that he might not even recognize all of the disciples in Windrift Hall, so Lu Yin had forgotten about him.
Now that he thought about it, how could a normal cultivator who was not even an Envoy see the universe's breathing?
Lu Yin stepped forward and headed towards Windrift Hall.
He had never been there before, as it was located in the Innerverse's First Flowzone, not too far from the Yōu Court.
Lu Yin found it very easily.
Windrift Hall was located on a planet with lush vegetation, and Lu Yin's arrival shocked the entire place. No one had ever dreamed that he would come.
The Hall Master of Windrift Hall was still Master Grass, but the person in charge was usually Zeng Jie, who had only met Lu Yin once before.
"Zeng Jie and the entire Windrift Hall greet Master Lu."
"Greetings, Master Lu."
There were many people in Windrift Hall, and there were more than ten thousand of them. This was far more than when Lu Yin had been in the Astral Combat Academy, and this was inseparable from the support of the Sect above Heaven.
Now that Shamrock Enterprises was under Lu Yin's control, Windrift Hall, a small organization that saved people, was supported by the Sect above Heaven. Whether it was in terms of resources or treatment, it was completely different from before.
"Long time no see, Zeng Jie." Lu Yin smiled.
Zeng Jie was terrified. "Master Lu, you still remember me?"
Lu Yin nodded and clasped his hands behind his back as he looked around. "Tell them to disperse. Where's Master Grass?"
"Master is in the Gu Flowzone."
Lu Yin was astonished. "Master Grass is still in the Gu Flowzone?"
Zeng Jie smiled bitterly. "I don't know why, but Master has been eyeing the Gu Flowzone for over a hundred years. We haven't dared to disturb him."
Lu Yin grunted. "I'll go look for Master Grass. You guys go about your business." With that, Lu Yin headed towards the Gu Flowzone.
Zeng Jie was confused, as he did not know why Lu Yin had suddenly gone to look for his master. The two of them should not have interacted much.
He hoped that his master would be a little smarter and not so straightforward. This was no longer the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Master, but the Sect Master of the Above Heaven, the Master of the Primordial Space.
Lu Yin had come to the Gu Flowzone again. He had once been apprehensive of this place, and he had needed to cure himself before he could enter. But now, it posed no threat to him, and he found Master Grass in a few steps. It was still in the same position, and Master Grass looked the same as when Lu Yin had first met him. He was carrying a bamboo basket as he walked through the green poisonous gas. Strange flowers were blooming within the gas.
Lu Yin approached and looked at the flowers.
Master Green Grass's white robe had turned gray. He stared at the flower in the poisonous gas and muttered to himself, "Why did it change again? There should be a regular contraction. Did I make a mistake somewhere?" As he spoke, he walked around the flower.
As he spoke, he looked to the side and saw Lu Yin's smiling face.
Master Grass was startled. "Who are you?"
"Master, it's been a long time. I'm Lu Yin."
Master Grass blinked, as if he had not recovered from his shock. "Lu Yin?
What are you doing here? "
"What are you doing?"
"The Gu Flowzone is sick, and I'm treating it."
"I see."
"You understand?"
"Not at all."
Master Grass scratched his head. "Wait, why do I feel like this conversation is so familiar?
Didn't we talk about this before? "
"We did, but it was many years ago."
"Then why are you still asking?"
"Aren't you still here, Master?" Lu Yin countered.
Master Grass thought about it and agreed. "It's only been a few decades, and it's not that long." He then looked at Lu Yin again. "By the way, you're now the Sect Master of the Above Heaven, right?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Master, you've finally come back to your senses."
Master Grass pursed his lips. "Why is an important person like you here?
If you have the time to chat with me, why don't you cultivate? You're the Sect Master of the Above Heaven, but you're not even a Progenitor yet. You can't intimidate outsiders. "
Lu Yin was helpless. "I haven't been cultivating for long, and it's not that easy to break through."
"Then why are you here?" Master Grass did not understand.
Lu Yin replied, "I'm here to see how Master's treatment of the Gu Flowzone is going."
Master Grass was puzzled. "You care about the Gu Flowzone?"
"I care about the treatment," Lu Yin replied.
Master Grass nodded. "Up to you. You can stay here and watch if you have the time. I have plenty of time anyway."
He then continued to stare at the poisonous gas, where another flower bloomed. Master Grass's gaze was fixed on that flower, as if he was waiting for something.
Lu Yin did not disturb him and just stood to the side, looking at the flower like Master Grass.
As the petals withered, another flower bloomed, one after another.
After an unknown period of time, the Grass Grandmaster sighed, "Another possibility of failure. Let me count, there are still 89,662 billion possibilities. Continue."
Lu Yin raised his brows. "How long will it take to test each possibility?"
"It's hard to say, but there are many possibilities that can be tested together. Eh, you haven't left yet?" Master Grass was shocked.
Lu Yin looked at him. "I want to see how Master will treat the Gu Flowzone. Master, you said that the Gu Flowzone is breathing and can be sensed."
Master Grass pointed at Lu Yin's hand. "Didn't I give you the grass?
When you feel that the grass is looking at you, you will be able to sense it. "
"But I don't have any clues."
"What clues do you want?
Try to sense it carefully. Grass is also alive. "
"There are many living things. Animals can stare at me."
"You're right, so grass can as well."
Lu Yin did not know how to continue the conversation, so he simply asked, "Master, what does the universe breathe mean?"
Master Grass blinked. "What do you mean?"
"Battle techniques can breathe. What does that mean?" Lu Yin asked.
"Did I say that?" Master Grass was confused.
"Have you heard of 'Shi' before?" Lu Yin's expression was solemn.
Master Grass thought about it seriously and then looked at Lu Yin and said solemnly, "Master Lu, don't you think that I'm too mysterious?"
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes and stared at Master Grass.
