For many years, the Seven Great Sang Heavens of the spiritualized universe had only lost two in the consciousness universe.
Yuan Qi had fought for the Eternals in Primeval City for so many years without any problems.
Sang Tian was very difficult to kill, especially since he had a Sequence Foundation.
Bao Qi used the cauldron bell. Even though he was still in the Primordial Realm, he was still as strong as Sang Tian.
"Where's the president?" Palace Mistress Yao asked as she stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin put away the cauldron bell. "He ran away, but not for long. As long as he's in the Tian Yuan Universe, he'll still die."
Palace Mistress Yao looked away in a daze.
Once the news of Sang Tian's death spread to the spiritualized universe, it would definitely cause an uproar.
There were only seven Sang Tians in the spiritualized universe, and their Sequence Foundation had been stolen. For the spiritualized universe, this was an irreparable loss.
Every single Sequence Foundation took a very long time to create.
When the Sky Devourer Umbrella was stolen, the president had threatened countless lives in the Tian Yuan Universe to force Lu Yin to return it.
The Sequence Foundation was extremely important.
Although the cauldron bell wasn't suitable for most people, as long as there was a suitable cultivator, they could become Sang Tian.
Bao Qi became Sang Tian through a trick, but his strength was real.
"Since you killed Bao Qi, why are you looking for me?
I can't find the president. "Palace Mistress Yao's tone was calm, suppressing the shock of Bao Qi's death.
Lu Yin said, "I'm curious. Now that Sang Tian is dead, how many people will compete for his position?"
Palace Mistress Yao was surprised. "Who said that?"
Lu Yin and Palace Mistress Yao looked at each other. "I'm more curious about the changes in the spiritualized universe between Yuan Qi and the current era."
Palace Mistress Yao looked at Lu Yin deeply. "Bao Qi was very proud. He was different from Yuan Qi and me. We have a reason to live, but he could face death because he killed his way out of those people."
"He took a shortcut, but it wasn't really a shortcut. Bao Qi, who controlled the cauldron bell, suppressed the madness of a group of people, but now that he's dead, those people will go crazy again."
Lu Yin stared at Palace Mistress Yao. "Who are those people?"
"God Ruling Mountain, the gate of many arts."
"What do you mean?"
"The Imperial God Mountain is where Yu Sang Tian cultivates. We don't know much about that place. Even Yu Sang Tian doesn't know much about it, but there are always experts there."
"Those experts belong to the Imperial God Mountain. Many people in the spiritualized universe want to know where those experts cultivate, but they can't find the source."
"For a person to cultivate from an ordinary person to the level of a Sequence Law, the amount of resources consumed and the process they went through can be considered Legendary. However, the cultivators of Royal God Mountain can't find any traces of them."
"Many people say that Yu Sang Tian can bestow great power to others. This might be the only explanation, just like your Grand Empyrean …" Palace Master Yao slowly said.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. The powerhouse from the Royal Divine Mountain that he could not find had to be from the Spiritual Cosmos. That was an entire cosmos, and although it could not be compared to a spiritualized cosmos, an entire cosmos that had existed since ancient times had definitely given birth to an absolute powerhouse.
The Heaven's Origin Universe was very large. The Primordial Space was only one of the parallel universes of the Heaven's Origin Universe, but it had given birth to the Above Heaven's Origin Universe, where the primogenitor existed. If it were not for the suppression of the primogenitor, the Three Worlds and Six Paths would have broken through to the Primordial realm.
In order to restart the Small Spirit Universe, Yu Sang Tian continued to invest.

The more powerhouses there were, the more parallel universes there would be in the Small Spirit Universe.
Lu Yin had found it strange before. Although there were people from the Small Spirit Universe in the spiritualized universe, they were all very ordinary. None of them had reached the level of Palace Master Yao or Tianci. Now, he understood that the true powerhouses of the Small Spirit Universe were at the Imperial God Mountain.
Those powerhouses definitely knew that they did not belong to the spiritualized universe, and Yu Sang Tian had kept them in the Imperial God Mountain to prevent the news from leaking out.
Those who could leave the mountain were all ordinary powerhouses.
"Bao Qi is from the Imperial God Mountain?" Lu Yin asked.
Palace Master Yao shook her head. "The Imperial God Mountain has powerhouses who can compete for the position of Sang Tian. I don't know exactly which powerhouses there are, but they can't be too exaggerated. After all, they failed and could not become Sang Tian. The strongest of them might be on par with me."
Lu Yin frowned. Was that the case?
It was more likely that Yu Sang Tian did not allow anyone from there to become Sang Tian.
Lu Yin had known about the Small Spirit Universe, but Yu Sang Tian had not acted because he was Sang Tian. Clearly, Yu Sang Tian was not an absolute master, or at least, he could not decide whether Sang Tian lived or died.
If someone from the Small Spirit Universe managed to become Sang Tian, then Yu Sang Tian would have a headache.
It was possible that no one from the Imperial God Mountain could become Sang Tian. After all, they were the powerhouses of the entire universe. They had been suppressed by Yu Sang Tian, but Palace Master Yao did not know this.
"Bao Qi comes from the Door of Techniques," Palace Master Yao said calmly. "The Door of Techniques is the place where the sequence foundations are created."
"To create a sequence foundation, one must have a powerhouse with a sequence law. The Door of Techniques has a sequence foundation that does not belong to the Ten Foundation Sequences. I don't know how many there are, as there are too few people in Beyond Heaven who know. Bao Qi came from the Door of Techniques and specialized in the sound sequence. He took this shortcut to defeat the other powerhouses. Otherwise, he would not have become Sang Tian so easily."
Palace Master Yao looked at Lu Yin. "The Imperial God Mountain and the Door of Techniques are the two places where the competition for the position of Sang Tian is the fiercest. There are others, but they are not much of a threat.
"If news of Bao Qi's death spreads to the spiritualized universe, then people from those two places will definitely come out. Among the first batch of people to attack the Tian Yuan Universe, there are no absolute powerhouses from those two places. However, Zhan Yan came from the Door of Techniques."
Lu Yin asked, "What about your Cloudwater Heavenly Palace?"
Palace Master Yao mocked herself. "The Cloudwater Heavenly Palace is mine, and the powerhouses inside were all nurtured by me. The Imperial God Mountain belongs to Yu Sang Tian, and I am on a completely different level from Yu Sang Tian. The Door of Techniques belongs to the entire spiritualized universe, and if one day, Beyond Heaven splits apart, the Imperial God Mountain and the Door of Techniques can stand side by side with Beyond Heaven. My Cloudwater Heavenly Palace will have to choose a side to join.
"However, it is impossible for Beyond Heaven to split apart. The entire Beyond Heaven belongs to the supreme realm, and the supreme realm is the true ruler of my spiritualized universe. A single word from them can decide the life and death of Sang Tian, and even the life and death of Yu Sang Tian."
Lu Yin realized that he had underestimated Beyond Heaven.
The spiritualized universe had a unified cultivation method that had been nurtured for countless years, and the number of powerhouses they had was astonishing.
The Tian Yuan Universe had accumulated all sorts of resources and used parallel spacetimes with different time flows to gather many Progenitors in a short period of time. Although the spiritualized universe did not have spacetimes with different time flows, they did not need to do so. The powerhouses that had been accumulated since ancient times were enough.
Furthermore, it was not just the spiritualized universe; there was also a small spiritualized universe that had been heavily invested in by Yu Sang Tian.
There were too many Grandmasters, and it was no wonder that there was a saying that there was an upper realm and a lower realm. It was as if Beyond Heaven did not rely on quality, but on quantity.
There were too many of them.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
There were too many cultivators.
"Although there are many Grandmasters, it is impossible for them to surpass Sang Tian," Palace Mistress Yao said.
She looked in Yuanqi's direction. "You captured Yuanqi and killed Bao Qi. You definitely have the strength to suppress these powerhouses."
Lu Yin's gaze was piercingly cold. "The problem is that there are too many of them."
Palace Mistress Yao did not refute him. Many cultivators could emerge from these two places to compete for the position of Sang Tian, and these cultivators would definitely not be Lu Yin's match if they were alone. Lu Yin was someone who could fight against the general president, who had grasped the Sequence Foundation. However, there were too many of them, and once they split up, the Tian Yuan Universe would be in trouble.
Once news of the empty position of Sang Tian spread, many spiritualized cultivators would definitely use the Tian Yuan Universe as a stepping stone to ascend to the position of Sang Tian. No one would be able to stop them.
Lu Yin understood the meaning behind Bao Qi's death. He had used his own death in exchange for a group of rabid dogs to appear and drag the Tian Yuan Universe to death.
This was Bao Qi, and it matched Lu Yin's first impression of him.
However, news of Bao Qi's death would not spread so easily. Meng Sang was already creating a springboard, and even if she could escape back to the spiritualized universe, she would not know that Bao Qi had died.
Lu Yin left the Sect above the Heavens and headed to the border of the Tian Yuan Universe. Meng Sang should be there soon.
On the other side, the Startoad left the mirage domain and immediately returned to its nest. Although its nest had been destroyed by Lu Yin, it was no longer Lu Yin's enemy. It wanted to go back and see if there was anything else that it had not taken and find a more suitable nest.
It also had creatures that it could control, regardless of whether they were humans or other creatures.
Just like Sir Daheng.
It was a pity that Sir Daheng had died.
The Startoad's nest was located in a parallel universe called Deep Swamp. This parallel universe was filled with whirlpools of water, regardless of whether it was on land or in space. It was similar to the Fifth Mainland's Innerverse, but the Innerverse was a tributary of the Astral River, while this place was filled with all sorts of whirlpools.
The Startoad felt a sense of familiarity when it saw the whirlpools that filled space. It dove into one of them and headed towards its nest.
Suddenly, it stopped and stared ahead with an ominous glint in its eyes. There were humans in its nest.
Far away, at the bottom of a giant whirlpool, two men and a woman were seated cross-legged not too far apart. They seemed to be recovering from their injuries.
This was the Startoad's nest.
The Startoad had originally set up a sourcebox array here, and it had even captured a human Origin Array Heavenly Master to set it up. Afterward, the Startoad had killed that Origin Array Heavenly Master so that no one could easily break the array. This sourcebox array had been created by that Origin Array Heavenly Master, and no one knew where he had created it.
However, Lu Yin had arrived and forcefully broken the sourcebox array, taking away the Startoad's collection.
If not for that, the Startoad would not have been threatened by Lu Yin to attack Tianfa.
Now that the sourcebox array had been broken, these three could easily enter.
The Startoad retracted its aura and shrank its body to the size of a palm. It approached the nest and peered inside.
"Who's there?" the woman barked. She casually waved her hand, causing a crescent-shaped blade to spin and slash towards the Startoad.
The Startoad was stunned, as it had been discovered.
It opened its mouth and bit down on the blade, causing it to shatter with a crack.
The woman was stunned. What was that?
At the same time, the other two men attacked simultaneously. One of them used a technique to circulate the power of his finger. His finger moved like a dragon as it pierced through the void. Every time it pierced through the void, the black void would connect and eventually follow the finger to the Startoad.
