There was no explanation; it was just a feeling that the Progenitor had to overcome the Bitter Adversity. Otherwise, the name itself would be meaningless.
When Lu Yin had learned of the Progenitor's Sequence and experienced it, he had warned the Progenitor not to expose himself no matter what. But now, the Progenitor had exposed himself because of Lu Yin.
"Who are you?" The elder stared at the Progenitor in shock.
The Progenitor's injuries quickly healed. His Sequence Particles were as boundless as the abyss. He had suppressed the Sequence String for so many years, and although he hadn't cultivated, he still had a lot of Sequence Particles.
Nine Sky Armaments surrounded the Progenitor. "I'm this child's Path Protector."
Path Protector?
The Progenitor looked around. "I'm warning you, don't go overboard. Can't you see who this child's power belongs to?"
The elder was confused and looked at Lu Yin. Power?
If someone else had said this, they wouldn't have cared, but since the Progenitor had said it, even Yue Ya had to take it seriously.
The words of such a powerhouse were worth taking seriously.
Lu Yin looked at the Progenitor, who had a solemn expression. "This child cultivates karma."
"Azure Lotus Protector?" the Misty Red Raccoon cried out.
The others from Nine Foot Garden looked at each other in disbelief as they made their own guesses.
The elder's expression changed. "What do you mean?"
The Progenitor snorted. "I'm under Azure Lotus Protector's orders to protect this child. The condition is that Azure Lotus Protector will guide me through the Bitter Adversity and step into eternal life. This child is Azure Lotus Protector's disciple."
"He wants to gain experience, but it's too much for so many of you to gang up on him."
The elder looked at Yue Ya.
Yue Ya's thoughts rippled. "Nonsense."
The Progenitor sneered. "Find someone who can cultivate the Path of Karma at such a young age."
The power of karma was real, and Lu Yin's mastery of the Path of Karma was already terrifying. The Misty Red Raccoon had lamented that if he had been born in Ninefirmaments Universe, he would have been Azure Lotus Protector's disciple. What was going on now?
Was he really Azure Lotus Protector's disciple?
Lu Yin was calm. "Just a little bit more."
The Progenitor looked at Lu Yin and sighed. "You're not too far away. Your Path of Karma is good enough, and I can report this to Azure Lotus Protector."
Lu Yin was dissatisfied, "Only by facing death can one truly master the Way of Karma. I'm not good enough."
"You're still so stubborn."
"I want to be successful and not disgrace my master."
"How ambitious. Two Superiors in one family. If this old man can achieve eternal life, there will be three Superiors. Haha."
"I think it's good."
"This old man thinks it's better …"
Listening to the conversation between the two, the people of Nine Feet Garden did not dare to make a move. They could not tell whether what they were saying was true or not. Logically speaking, it should be false, but how could the power of cause and effect be explained?
How many geniuses in the Continent of the Nine Clouds had failed to cultivate it? If it was true, how could they explain that he came from the Tian Yuan Universe?
The elder looked at the conversation between the progenitor and Lu Yin. He was afraid that Yue Ya's words were true. If that was the case, then Yue Ya would not be able to protect the Nine Foot Garden even if he had the power of an Eternal Realm.
That was Uptala Protector, the oldest Protector of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. He was an unfathomable strong cultivator who cultivated karma strength.
He stared at Lu Yin, "Are you really a disciple of Qinglian Shangyu?"
"Since you've already said it, there's no need to hide it. Not bad."
The old man narrowed his eyes. "Then tell me, what kind of power does the Azure Lotus Defense possess?"
Everyone stared at Lu Yin.
The progenitor gave Lu Yin a look and prepared to attack. He was just trying to buy some time to recover so that Lu Yin could prepare to break out of the encirclement.
Lu Yin.
Yin said, "Karma: Great Celestial Phenomenon."
The elder's eyes narrowed.
Yue Ya's thoughts fluctuated even more violently.
Lu Yin was full of confidence.
The progenitor was about to attack when he saw the elder's expression. Could it be that he was right?
He looked at Lu Yin strangely. It couldn't be. Did this kid really know?
How did he know?
He recalled Lu Yin's past in the Tian Yuan Universe. Those were memories that he had obtained by fusing his turbid treasure into someone else's body. However, he had never fused with a cultivator from the Nine Clouds Universe, let alone an Eternal Realm cultivator like Uptala Protector. It was even more impossible for a sentient being to know.
Lu Yin was actually relieved. If that was the case, then the person he saw in Tian Que was really Uptala Protector.
"Although not many people know about the Karma Celestial Phenomenon, it's said that you captured Luo Ning. With his status, it's not surprising that he knows about it," Yue Ya said.
The elder sighed in relief and then reacted with surprise. "He captured Luo Ning?"
The Smoky Red Raccoon was also surprised. Luo Ning was one of the people who had been sleeping in the Junior Defense Tower. Why was he here?
And he had even been captured?
Lu Yin sneered. "What, you don't believe me? Since that's the case …" He slowly raised his hand and drew in the void, drawing a middle-aged man.
When he saw this man, Yue Ya subconsciously retreated, and the Space Mirror dimmed.
The elder's eyes narrowed. Was this … Uptala Protector?
The Smoky Red Raccoon and the others were confused, as they had never seen Uptala Protector before.
Lu Yin smiled at the elder. "Can this be trusted?"
The elder trembled and looked at Lu Yin in disbelief. "You … Are you really Uptala Protector's disciple?"
"But you … How did you …?"
"How did you come from the Tian Yuan Universe?"
Yue Ya shouted. He did not want to accept this. This person had been his shortcut to becoming a Protector Deity. How could he be Uptala Protector's disciple? It was impossible.
Lu Yin sneered. "To my master, what's the difference between the three universes?"
No one could refute this. Forget Uptala Protector, even to them, the three universes were meaningless. They were all the same. The Nine Firmaments were above, while the three universes were below. This was an unchanging truth.
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "Master had the foresight to send me to the Tian Yuan Universe for training. Otherwise, I would have been reduced to the same state as you all if I had stayed in the Nine Firmaments Universe."
"What Shaoyu Pavilion? They're all trash. They can only wait until the position of Protector is vacant before they dare to compete. I'm different from them. Once I return to the Nine Firmaments, I'll personally seize the position of Protector. No one will be able to stop me."
He then glared at Yue Ya. "You'll be the first."
"No, you're no longer a Protector Deity. You're trash."
The progenitor looked at Lu Yin in amazement. As expected of Zhu Zi, his ability to lie through his teeth was even better than the progenitor's.
It was not unreasonable for Lu Yin to have reached this point.
The Smoky Red Raccoon looked at Lu Yin with a scorching gaze. Domineering, too domineering. The Shaoyu Pavilion could only wait, but he wanted to snatch it away. This person was amazing.
Lu Yin looked around. "You guys."
Everyone from the Nine Foot Garden felt their hearts skip a beat.
"Although you surrounded me, you also gave me good experience. Not bad. Once I return to the Nine Firmaments, you can follow me."
The people from the Nine Foot Garden exchanged glances and relaxed. They even rejoiced.
Compared to Yue Ya, they naturally wanted to rely on Lu Yin more. Putting aside the fact that he was backed by the Azure Lotus Protector, just the fact that he had such a high cultivation level at such a young age and had even grasped the Way of Karma was something that Yue Ya could not compare to.
This person would at least become a Protector Deity in the future.
"Wrong." A hoarse voice came from the distance.
Lu Yin's expression darkened.
"Everyone, this person is definitely not a disciple of the Azure Lotus Protector. He can see past memories in the Heavenly Palace.
This person can also use a turbid treasure to merge with a living being's body. Countless consciousness lifeforms have entered the Heavenly Palace, so it's not strange that this person has seen the Azure Lotus Protector.
"Furthermore, this person is not clear about the situation in the Heavenly Palace, nor is he clear about the Shaoyu Pavilion. How could he be someone from the Nine Firmaments Universe?"
Merge with someone else's body?
The elder and the others thought that they had misheard. Was there such an ability?
Yue Ya shouted, "That's right, this does not prove that you are a disciple of the Azure Lotus Protector. Let me ask you, what is the name of the other disciple of the Azure Lotus Protector who is sleeping in the Shaoyu Pavilion?
Where is the Azure Lotus Protector now? "
He did not care about anything else. He just wanted to prove that Lu Yin was not a disciple of the Azure Lotus Protector.
Lu Yin sneered. "You believe the words of a consciousness lifeform? From the moment the Nine Firmaments Universe was exposed to them, the Nine Firmaments Universe had replaced the spiritualized universe and become the greatest enemy of the consciousness universe."
After a pause, he continued, "Since you don't believe me, I will show you the power of the Azure Lotus Protector."
After he finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand. Stardust flew toward the sky and gradually covered everyone's vision.
Yue Ya and the others did not make a move. The Azure Lotus Protector was like a mountain pressing down on their hearts. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance that Lu Yin was a disciple of the Azure Lotus Protector, they would not take the risk.
Although the cultivators of the Nine Firmaments Universe had a second life due to the cultivation of the spirit seed, this second life was not invincible and could still die. Moreover, the one who came here was not a spirit seed. The spirit seed could not be released for cultivation and could not directly leave the Nine Firmaments Universe.
"Stop him, he wants to run!" the Old Head shouted.
Yue Ya subconsciously used the Space Mirror, and a dark golden light condensed.
In the sky above Lu Yin's heart, the divine power planet rotated, and lanterns appeared one after another.
In the distance, the consciousness bombarded. The Old Head had personally made a move, but he was still a step too late.
As the lanterns shattered, the Misty Red Raccoon and Yue Ya were affected. Lu Yin pressed down with one palm. The mortal world was soil, and the soil was in the sky. It was bound to overturn the sky. Overturning Sky Palm.
Land descended and suppressed the sky.
Lu Yin and the progenitor rushed in the same direction at the same time.
Suddenly, chains descended from the void and locked down Heaven and Earth.
Lu Yin stared into the distance. It was the Old Head again, but he did not have time to settle accounts with him. He reversed for a second and avoided the Heaven and Earth Lock.
Yue Ya's consciousness bombarded him. "You really are not a disciple of the Azure Lotus Protector. You can't run away."
Above their heads, sharp claws fell.
Lu Yin and the progenitor were caught off guard and were torn apart by the claws.
At that moment, a ray of light came from afar. Eternal Thought.
Eternal Thought swept past Yue Ya. The elder and the others rushed into the distance and seemed to attack Lu Yin, but they were caught by Lu Yin's spirit threads. "Senior, let's go."
The progenitor grabbed the spirit threads at the same time.
Using Eternal Thought, Lu Yin and the progenitor disappeared in an instant.
Yue Ya was furious. Mo Shang, Mo Shang again. How hateful.
The elder and the others were unwilling to let Lu Yin escape. They did not know when they would have the chance to surround and kill him again.
"What was that just now?"
Yue Ya shouted, "Find them! No matter where they hide, even if they hide in a parallel universe, we must find them. I don't believe they can hide forever."
The elder's expression was grave. "We are staking everything on this. The Nine-Foot Garden cannot fail. Come together. Lord Yue Ya, you need to borrow the power of thought."
Yue Ya naturally would not refuse. The universe of consciousness was his final battle. Either he successfully transformed or he died. There was no third option, and the Nine-Foot Garden was the same.
They had violated the Ninth Firmament Universe's taboo, and the people of that universe should be on their way.
