"It's just a metaphor. Have you ever thought that the five continents all originated from the Origin Dust?
That Master created them? "
"I never thought about it. I never dared to think about it."
"You have just embarked on the path of cultivation. Has anyone ever told you that cultivating on land is easier than cultivating in the starry skies to step into the Ancestor realm? What can you comprehend? Land is extraordinary because it was created by Master. Cultivating on land is equivalent to coming into contact with Master's beginning. Each land has its own power system, and the one who maintains these power systems is Master."
Lu Yin finally understood. He recalled that someone had indeed told him that, especially after entering the Neoverse, many people wanted to cultivate on land. The stability of space on land was different, and the Sixth Mainland was filled with land. Some people could only cultivate by grabbing onto some soil. Lu Yin hadn't understood at the time, and he didn't think that there was any difference between cultivating on land and in outer space. Now, he understood.
Land possessed the power of the Origin Dust.
"If land can be created, why can't space be created?"
Hongyan Mavis asked before looking into the distance. "When you reach the Progenitor realm, you can try coming to the forbidden area of the mirage domain. It might exceed your imagination."
Lu Yin brought the topic back. "Senior, what is your ancestral world?
If you lose it, can you cultivate it back? "
If Hongyan Mavis could recover her peak strength, then it would be great news for the human race.
Hongyan Mavis smiled: "Mavis Divine Tree."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Your ancestral world is the Mavis Divine Tree?"
Hongyan Mavis nodded.
"I haven't lost it. The Mavis Family still has it."
"I planted it using the tree I once had, so that the Mavis Family would have a place to live if something happened to me. The real Mavis Divine Tree has been toppled, and more importantly, the imprint of the tree is gone. It was stolen by that giant from the Everlasting Tribe. I can't take it back with my current strength, and the Everlasting Tribe won't allow humans to attack them. Once they do, a war will break out."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "You're talking about the Corpse God, right? I was wondering why there were traces of the Mavis Divine Tree in his body. Don't worry, I'll definitely get it back for you."
Hongyan Mavis was shocked. "You can get it back?"
"Yes."
"Then we'll have to go to war. Once I leave, the Eternals will most likely find out, and they'll be able to guess what I'm up to."
"Then I'll snatch it back before you expose yourself." Lu Yin was confident. With his current strength, why wouldn't he be confident?
The Zombie Goddess was no match for him in a one-on-one duel, let alone a group attack. After all, she was severely injured. Furthermore, he had a way to find the Sixth Disaster Zone. More importantly, the Eternals did not know that his strength had undergone a transformation. He did not believe that he would not be able to snatch the Mavis Sacred Tree brand back.
Hongyan Mavis became excited. "As long as I can get the imprint back, I can use the current Mavis Divine Tree as my ancestral world, and recover at least half of my strength."
"Haha, it's a deal. Oh right, Senior, this junior is now the Dao Master of the Above Heaven Sect."
Hongyan Mavis rolled her eyes. "Understood, Daoist Master. I hope that you, the Sect Above Heaven, can return to the peak."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up, "I do have the idea of reorganizing the Three Realms and Six Paths."
"You should recuperate first."
Lu Yin was very satisfied with the transformation he had experienced during his trip to the Mirage Realm. He did not cultivate for a long time after that, and instead just sat by the River of Time.
He fished because he wanted to see those times that the River of Time could not tolerate. Looking at those scenes gave him a different feeling.
After a long time, he finally felt like he had recovered, but his white hair did not.
He could turn it back to black, but that would be meaningless. He would just treat this as a lesson and not casually appoint anyone in the future.
On this day, Lu Yin was still fishing in the River of Time. The water droplet was swallowed up by the flowing light, and an image appeared: a piece of paper. Lu Yin was puzzled.
He looked at it carefully, but because the time was too short, he did not see anything.
He continued fishing, and another droplet appeared. So fast?
This time, a piece of paper appeared in the image.
Lu Yin frowned, but this time, the image was still very short. However, he still managed to see the word "kill" written on it.
Kill?
What did that mean?
Just one word?
Because the image was too short, Lu Yin only saw the word "kill", but he was sure that there were no other words.
Lu Yin continued fishing.
A few seconds later, he caught another droplet. This was strange; how could it be so fast?
In the past, he would have to wait a long time before fishing for something that could not be tolerated in the River of Time. It was much longer than fishing, so how could it be so fast?
As expected, it was still a piece of paper. Lu Yin was prepared for this, and this time, he saw it clearly. It was indeed a single word, "Kill," but there were definitely other words behind it that had been smeared out. The smear was very obvious.
The image disappeared, and Lu Yin continued fishing.
Over the next period of time, he caught many more pieces of paper, and they all had the word "kill" on them. Behind the word were smeared out as well. This made Lu Yin uneasy, and he looked up at the River of Time. Was someone from the past sending a message to the future?
There was definitely a noun behind the word "kill". Was it a person's name?
A species?
Or something else?
Why were they smeared out?
Who could smear them?
These pieces of paper could not be tolerated in the River of Time, which meant that they had been written while time was still. If words could be smeared out in such a situation, then how powerful was the person who had smeared them out?
This was not something that could be done simply by stopping time.
If one could stop time and smear every piece of paper, then it was equivalent to cutting off a certain period of time.
Lu Yin knew that he could not do such a thing.
He continued fishing, but there was nothing else. It was as if the pieces of paper had flowed down the river and appeared at the same time, all for the sake of being seen by future generations.
Lu Yin told Hongyan Mavis about this.
Hongyan Mavis was shocked. "Doing something like this is not something that can be done just by touching the grand force of time. One needs to have the ability to cut off time, or even chase after the River of Time. It's just like how you're trying to go against the flow of time."
"So what I'm trying to do is something that has been done for a long time?" Lu Yin asked.
"There's more than one person who can do it. Anyone who's at the Primordial Realm and focuses on the grand force of time should be able to do it." Hongyan Mavis's expression was solemn.
Lu Yin knew this; he did not think that his transformation of light would allow him to surpass the Primordial Realm. At the very least, he would have to reach the Primordial Realm himself before he could talk about surpassing the Primordial Realm.
"In other words, the person who smeared the paper was at least at the Primordial Realm," Lu Yin said.
Hongyan Mavis fell silent for a moment before slowly replying, "From what I know, there were only a few Primordial Realm experts in our era. I can't think of anyone who would do something like this, but they should all be able to do it.
They should be able to do it. "
"Right, there's another person who was around the same level as us, but she broke through to the Primordial Realm. She's Qing Luo Jiantian."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Qing Luo Jiantian reached the Primordial Realm in your era?"
Hongyan Mavis nodded. "Do you know who erected that stone tablet beside the River of Time?
It's Qing Luo Jiantian. She reached the Primordial Realm in the Mirage Domain, which is why everyone who knows about the Mirage Domain is certain that one can reach the Primordial Realm here. "
Lu Yin knew that the Ancestor of the Past was very powerful. She had ended the war with a single sword strike. The Star Toad and the Grand Empyrean had both greeted her, but he had never thought that she would be so powerful. However, the strength that she had displayed so far did not seem to be at the Primordial Realm. Otherwise, Thunder Master Jiang Feng and the Grand Empyrean would not have been able to reach the black mother tree so easily and draw out the True God.
Something must have happened to the Ancestor of the Past.
"By the way, senior, there's something that I don't quite understand. What's the difference between the Primordial Realm and the Bitter Adversity?"
Lu Yin asked. When he had first learned about the Primordial Realm and the Bitter Adversity from Ancestor Lu Yuan, he had not thought too much about it. However, the more he came into contact with the Primordial Realm and the more he saw, the more confused he became.
The Grand Empyrean was clearly undergoing the Bitter Adversity, and the Sole True God was also undergoing the Bitter Adversity. Then what about the Lightning Master, Jiang Feng?
He had once called the Sole True God and the others monsters undergoing the Bitter Adversity, but he was clearly stronger than a Progenitor. Even the Ancestor of the Past had not been able to stop him, so what was he?
Was he a Primordial Realm expert?
What about Ancestor Lu Yuan?
He did not fear the Grand Empyrean, but he had never mentioned that he was undergoing the Bitter Adversity, nor had he mentioned whether he was a Primordial Realm expert. There was also the Star Toad. It had clearly been the unluckiest during the second battle in the Bitter Adversity.
Hongyan Mavis explained, "The Primordial Realm surpasses the Progenitor Realm. It's a definite realm, but undergoing the Bitter Adversity is a process. There is no definite Bitter Adversity realm. Before undergoing the Bitter Adversity, you can be called the Bitter Adversity realm because you're currently undergoing the Bitter Adversity. Even after you've passed the Bitter Adversity, you can still be called the Bitter Adversity realm. The Bitter Adversity is a long process, not a realm. It's like flying.
If you fall, you'll fail. "" The only thing that can distinguish between them is their own battle prowess. The Sole True God is very powerful, terrifyingly powerful, but he might still be in the process of rising. Tai Hong cannot compare to the Sole True God, much less master, but she might have already fallen. No one can say for sure, so they all call it the Bitter Adversity realm, which is also the Bitter Adversity realm. "
"After reaching the Primordial Realm, some people are unwilling to undergo the Bitter Adversity for the rest of their lives, because the Bitter Adversity comes from the heart. Master once said that the Primordial Realm and the Bitter Adversity are two different people."
"So far, the most certain thing is that no one has truly undergone the Bitter Adversity and reached eternal life. This is a concept, and because no one has reached it, they can only guess."
Lu Yin finally understood. It was no wonder that the Primordial Realm and the Bitter Adversity were two different concepts. One was a realm, while the other was a process.
"Then how can we tell if someone is undergoing the Bitter Adversity?"
Hongyan Mavis thought about it, "There's no way to tell. Those above the Progenitor Realm have already surpassed it. Only they know that level, so don't let your thoughts be fixed. Everyone thinks that the Sole True God is undergoing the Bitter Adversity, but perhaps he hasn't even undergone the Bitter Adversity and is still in the Primordial Realm?
No one knows. "
"Some people even say that the Bitter Adversity is a scam, and that there is no such thing as eternal life."
"Others say that eternal life is a connection between species. As long as the species is not destroyed, it is equivalent to eternal life. For example, if you reach eternal life, as long as the human race is not destroyed, you can appear and disappear at any time."
"There are also people who say that the universe itself is a creature with eternal life. Who knows?"
Lu Yin sighed, "It all sounds reasonable."
