Hearing Yu Sang Tian's words, the Progenitor fell silent for a moment before looking at Lu Yin.
They had been bluffing since Yu Sang Tian's injuries would heal in a short period of time. If they were at a stalemate, the Progenitor would be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Lu Yin looked at Yu Sang Tian and raised a finger. "Add a condition."
"Give your wooden figurine to Senior Inception."
Yu Sang Tian's expression changed. "Lu Yin, you don't have the initiative yet."
"Then let's see if you can recover faster than the Ninefirmaments Universe."
"If the Ninefirmaments Universe comes, Inception will be in trouble."
"If you recover, Senior won't be in a good spot either."
"I can swear it."
"I don't believe you."
Lu Yin spoke bluntly. Although the oath was a great restriction for someone like Yu Sang Tian, it wasn't enough to restrict them. If Yu Sang Tian had no hope of eternal life, the oath would be useless. Lu Yin wouldn't use the Progenitor's life to bet on Yu Sang Tian's future.
The Progenitor spoke up. "Mo Shang, what are you afraid of? This wooden figurine isn't an offensive weapon. With it, I'll just be a target. I can swear that I won't attack you."
He paused for a moment, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "This wooden figurine has the ability to threaten you. If that's the case, you're lying."
Lu Yin's voice rang out. "Someone from the Ninefirmaments Universe would need a year to get here on the Oneleaf Lotus, and it would take at most two years for a message to travel back and forth. As for a High God, it should be quite fast. How long did it take for us to get to the palace?"
Yu Sang Tian agreed and gave the figurine to the Progenitor. At the same time, both sides swore that they wouldn't attack each other.
Thus, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Yu Sang Tian cared about approaching the palace the most.
Lu Yin was concerned about the Primogenitor's safety. Unfortunately, he had found a way to erase his memories and get close to the palace, but he didn't have the opportunity to use it. Still, he could tell the Primogenitor about it and see if the Primogenitor was willing to try it out, even if the chances were slim.
The Progenitor didn't have anything to worry about. He also looked at the palace. He hadn't tried to get close to it since the beginning, but now he could try. Was it the feeling of memory suppression?
That was new.
On the other side, Grandmaster Grass left the consciousness universe, taking the four spiritualized warships with him.
No one could stop the Grass Grandmaster, not even Lu Yin, who was outside. He knew very well that the four arks would be lost.
Master Grass would not allow him to capture the top elites of the spiritualized universe.
However, the old salamander and Meng Sang Tian had been pushed into the Hell of the Appointment Platform and were unable to escape.
It was the Plain Master Sect. Zi Tianshu and the others left with Grandmaster Qingcao.
The practitioners on the four battleships didn't know who the Green Grass Grandmaster was. Seeing that Wu Jiang didn't dare to stop them, they gradually had some guesses, but they didn't know if their guesses were right.
They had guessed that the Grass Grandmaster was the Supreme Pinnacle, but if he was, why didn't he attack Wu Jiang?
If not, why did he save them?
Judging from the expressions of those people on Wu Jiang, it was obvious that they knew Master Green Grass.
Master Green Grass dragged the four battleships and left.
Above the Boundless Sea, Chu Yi and the others only breathed a sigh of relief when they could no longer see the warship's shadow.
"Why is he here?"
"Eternal Life Stage, Master Grass."
"He's the only Eternal Realm expert I've met so far."
"Why didn't you attack us?"
"Of course it's the Karmic Chain Restriction."
"I'll go in and check on Little Seven."
The gate at the border of the Consciousness Universe had been broken.
The practitioners on the four spiritualized universe's battleships watched with complicated expressions. They didn't know what was going on in the Consciousness Universe at all.
It sounded like an expedition to the Consciousness Universe, but they hadn't done anything at all.
Master Grass stood on the Restart Battleship and went through the gate towards the gangplank. Not long after, the gangplank was swung out and pushed the battleship out.
Not long after, Master Grass's expression changed and he looked in a certain direction. The Restart Battleship suddenly stopped, catching the practitioners off guard and causing many of them to crash forward.
Master Grass looked into the distance and stared for a while. He then raised his hand and released an invisible force. No one could understand what he was doing.
At that moment, a battleship rapidly approached from behind.
On the Restart Battleship, the Plain Master Sect opened his mouth wide. "S-Senior, we're about to crash."
Master Grass retracted his hand and the Restart Battleship suddenly sped up. It was even faster than when the gangplank had been pushed out. In the blink of an eye, the battleship that was about to crash into them was shaken off.
The Plain Master Sect and the others were dumbfounded. That was it?
They looked at Master Grass again and all of them fell to their knees. An Eternal Realm cultivator must be an Eternal Realm cultivator. Otherwise, how could he change the power of the gangplank?
Master Grass looked into the distance and muttered to himself, "I can't let you live too comfortably. Otherwise, others will feel uncomfortable."
…
Half a year passed quickly, and Lu Yin returned to Wu Jiang from the cliff.
Although he had lost four battleships, he didn't care. He would definitely be able to get some chips in the spiritualized universe.
However, he had to return to the Tian Yuan Universe first.
He hadn't left yet because he was looking for Yue Ya.
A few months ago, Yu Sang Tian had told Lu Yin that Yue Ya was still in the Consciousness Universe to get him to leave the cliff and stop watching him. Lu Yin had left because finding Yue Ya was very important.
However, he still hadn't found him.
Lu Yin decided to search for another half a year. If he still couldn't find him, he would bring Wu Jiang back to the Tian Yuan Universe.
The crisis of the spiritualized universe had been resolved. He had to deal with the Ninth Heaven Universe, so he didn't need to bring Wu Jiang along. He wanted to go by himself. Wu Jiang couldn't help him in the Ninth Heaven Universe.
During this half a year, Yu Sang Tian and the Progenitor approached the palace.
What surprised Lu Yin and Yu Sang Tian was that the progenitor's speed wasn't any slower than theirs. Even Lu Yin hadn't expected this.
The palace pressured one's memories, and it required a strong consciousness and resilient memories. Both Yu Sang Tian and Lu Yin had both, but the Progenitor's consciousness wasn't at the peak. It was only average at the Tribulation Transcendence level. Including his resistance to consciousness, he was about the same as an ordinary 13 Celestial Phenomenon cultivator. Thus, the Progenitor hadn't thought of approaching the palace.
Now that he had tried, Yu Sang Tian almost fell behind.
Yu Sang Tian wasn't the only one who couldn't figure it out.
Lu Yin couldn't figure out why either. He had guessed that it might have something to do with the method he had told the Progenitor about dispelling his memories. However, he had a strong consciousness and the void in his heart. Could the Progenitor do that?
Or could it be that the Progenitor himself could approach the palace?
The Progenitor's cultivation method was average. Yue Ya and the others felt that he was a great threat, but they didn't know that he would be so powerful when approaching the palace.
However, the closer one got to the palace, the harder it would be, and the more time it would take. Lu Yin hoped that someone from the Ninth Firmament Universe wouldn't arrive so quickly, especially the Defender God.
As for the Immortality Substance, Lu Yin also grabbed some. He didn't waste the opportunity and did it once every day and a half. The rest of his time was spent either looking for Yue Ya or digging up bricks.
On this day, Lu Yin returned to Boundless to rest for a day.
After a day and a half, he grabbed some light spots.
Suddenly, he looked in a certain direction with a burning gaze. Yue Ya had finally appeared.
Yu Sang Tian had told Lu Yin that Yue Ya was still in the consciousness universe in order to get him to leave the cliff. Lu Yin hadn't completely believed him, but there was no point in him staying there, so he had gone to look for Yue Ya. However, he hadn't been able to find him even after half a year. He had even felt that Yue Ya had left, but now he had suddenly appeared.
He stepped out of Boundless, his consciousness roaring out and spreading throughout the entire consciousness universe.
Far away in front of Lu Yin, Yue Ya gazed at the sky beside the shattered border gate. Ever since Lu Yin had defeated Yu Sang Tian, he had been hiding all this time. He did not know that Lu Yin was looking for him, nor did he need to know. If he were in Lu Yin's shoes, he would definitely be looking for himself.
Lu Yin's consciousness descended from the dark sky.
Yue Ya's expression was complicated. This was a prelude to him dealing with others, but he hadn't expected that it would be used against him one day.
Lu Yin was no longer someone he could fight against.
However, catching him was easier said than done.
"Lu Yin, we'll meet again in Ninefirmaments," Yue Ya said before leaving the consciousness universe.
Lu Yin raised his hand and unleashed the Triple Firmament Sword Intent, fusing it with the light spot. How could he escape? As long as he saw him, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Yue Ya didn't know what Lu Yin had at this moment. He thought that he could escape from the consciousness universe, but suddenly, an indescribable horror enveloped his entire body. The Triple Firmament Sword Intent pierced through the darkness and slashed at him from behind. Yue Ya stared blankly at it, unable to dodge. Why?
It wasn't fast, but he couldn't dodge. It was both the process and the result, and it also contained a terrifying power that he couldn't comprehend.
Although he couldn't understand it, he had experienced this power more than once. This was the power of an Eternal Life Realm.
Yue Ya couldn't believe that Lu Yin had reached the Eternal Life Realm.
Impossible.
Yue Ya couldn't figure out how Lu Yin did it. Seeing the Triple Firmament Sword Intent slashing at him, Yue Ya's thoughts churned. He twisted his body and turned into a dark golden cloud. "Guardian God of the Nine Firmaments, Blood Tower."
The hazy Blood Tower shone.
The Triple Firmament Sword Intent descended.
At the same time, the void broke open, revealing a pale bone-colored claw. It pinched the Triple Firmament Sword Intent before Yue Ya's eyes.
The Triple Firmament Sword Intent was less than a hundred meters away from Yue Ya. This distance was so small that it was almost non-existent to the bone-colored claw.
Yue Ya stared blankly at the bone-colored claw. It was like a monster squeezing through the sky and slowly spreading into the consciousness universe.
The suffocating pressure almost made his thoughts stop. Eternal Life Realm, another Eternal Life Realm. Damn it, where did it come from?
At the same time, Lu Yin stopped, his pupils constricting. His consciousness enveloped the planets as he stared at the bone-colored claw. In his mind, memories surged. On the precipice, the memories that had appeared before jumped out.
He saw a claw covering the universe, huge and boundless. He saw the Triple Firmament Sword Intent tear the claw apart and stain the sky with its owner's blood.
It was this claw, exactly the same. How could it be here?
The void was constantly torn open, and the claw squeezed in. It was as if the earth was constantly being broken open.
Yue Ya slowly retreated, staring blankly at the bone-colored claw. He kept retreating, rushing toward the springboard.
There were too many changes in the consciousness universe. The person who brought back the Heavenly Cast Sword Edge Fragment and the monster in front of him were both Eternal Life Realm creatures.
Where did it come from?
He had never seen it in the Nine Firmaments Universe for so many years.
The universe was about to change.
