Lu Yin looked at Progenitor Chen. "Previously, I relied on the Big Dipper Fist Star left behind by my ancestors to comprehend the Astral Fist Manual. Now, I'm using the Big Dipper Fist Star to help you comprehend it." Lu Yin clenched his right fist, and the Big Dipper Fist Star ignited within the Astral Fist Manual as he punched out.
Chen Jian Yongsheng looked at the punch. This was the true fist intent of the Big Dipper. It was unknown which ancestor had left behind the power of the Big Dipper's remnant stars, but it was fundamentally different from them relying on the Big Dipper's remnant stars.
When he looked at Lu Yin, it was as if he was looking at the Big Dipper Fist Star.
Lu Yin punched out, and the fist intent blasted towards Progenitor Chen. Progenitor Chen stood still as the fist intent approached him.
Chen Jian Yongsheng's eyes widened. No, this couldn't possibly form the Big Dipper Fist Star. The Big Dipper Fist Star was the pinnacle of fist intent, and it had been left behind for countless years. This punch was clearly an offensive punch, so how could it leave behind a fist intent?
Chen Jian Yongsheng was about to remind him.
Lu Yin punched out a second time, and the second fist intent was even faster as it approached the first fist intent.
Then, there was a third, fourth, and fifth fist … Lu Yin punched out continuously until the moment the first fist intent was about to hit Progenitor Chen, all the fist intents fused together to form a solid fist intent in front of Progenitor Chen. The fist intent solidified and condensed into a star — the Big Dipper Fist Star.
Chen Jian Yongsheng was shocked. This could actually be done?
This Lu Yin was only at the entry level of the Astral Fist, and he couldn't form a fist star that had been left behind since ancient times. However, he was able to fuse many fist intents together to form a fist star. How did he think of this?
However, this fist star would quickly dissipate.
Lu Yin had encountered more than one opponent who had used time stagnation to fuse battle techniques and explode with power, such as Chu Yuan's Time Realm and Gan Mo's Blood Blade. Thus, it was easy for him to come up with a solution.
Progenitor Chen looked at the Big Dipper Fist Star that was right in front of him and took a step forward to collide with it.
Chen Jian Yongsheng was stunned. Shouldn't he be comprehending it?
What was the meaning of this?
Lu Yin hadn't punched him, and Progenitor Chen had collided with it. He suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the people from the three universes, and their thoughts were baffling.
The surface of Progenitor Chen's body was constantly bombarded by the Big Dipper fist intent, but it could not stop him from entering the Big Dipper fist star.
Lu Yin didn't use his full strength, only his fist intent. Otherwise, not to mention Progenitor Chen, even an Eternal Realm expert like Chen Jian would have been severely injured by his fist intent.
His goal was to let Ancestor Chen comprehend it.
On the surface of Progenitor Chen's body, his outer clothes exploded, revealing countless sword scars. This was the sword intent of the transparent Balance Envoy. Even with the Nirvana Tree's rebirth, it could not be erased.
Thunderous explosions continuously bombarded the surface of Progenitor Chen's body, but Progenitor Chen's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He saw every punch that Lu Yin threw out, saw the profound meaning of the Big Dipper Fist Star, and also saw the Astral Fist Manual.
His body abruptly pierced through the Big Dipper Fist Star, and in that instant, it was as if he could see Lu Yin's fist strike out again. This time, it pierced through his body and caused the Astral Fist Manual to become clearer.
He stood where he was and closed his eyes.
Chen Jian Yongsheng looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, Progenitor Chen was blessed by the heavens when it came to battle techniques.
If it was him, he might not be able to achieve enlightenment.
The Big Dipper Remnant Star was left behind by the ancestor who had truly comprehended the Starry Sky Fist. What he had struck out was merely the Big Dipper Fist Intent. Even so, Ancestor Chen was able to comprehend it.
Lu Yin waited patiently for a long time before Progenitor Chen opened his eyes. He faced Lu Yin and punched out.
Lu Yin's eyes widened. "Good." He also punched out.
With a loud bang, the two Big Dipper Fist Intents collided. The power wasn't great, but Chen Jian Yongsheng was thoroughly shocked.
He really comprehended it?
What the hell, he could even comprehend it?
How high was his talent?
Chen Jian Yongsheng had been spurred on by his masters to cultivate, but he still couldn't comprehend the Astral Fist Manual. His masters' cultivation of the Starry Sky Fist far surpassed Master Lu's, but even so, he still couldn't comprehend it. Yet, this person had actually been enlightened by Master Lu.
This was no longer something that could be explained by talent.
What was going on with this guy?
He actually didn't believe that Progenitor Chen could comprehend it.
But at this moment, his worldview was turned upside down.
Lu Yin laughed. "Congratulations, Senior, for comprehending the Starry Sky Fist."
Progenitor Chen looked at his hands and was somewhat excited. "This fist technique is good, very good. It's quite compatible with me, especially the Cosmic Art."
Lu Yin nodded. "Not bad. That's why I thought of you, Senior. I hope that I can borrow Senior's attainments in the Cosmic Art to help me cultivate the Starry Sky Fist."
He was actually just giving it a try. He wasn't sure if Progenitor Chen could comprehend the Astral Fist Manual, but he didn't expect Progenitor Chen to actually comprehend it. It was a pleasant surprise.
Progenitor Chen clenched his fist, loosened it, and clenched it again. "This fist technique seems to be created for me. Does it belong to the Sixth Barrier?"
"The Sixth Barrier, the strongest and invincible Starry Sky Fist."
"How good would it be if I was born during the Nine Strongholds Era?" Progenitor Chen muttered to himself. He then looked at Lu Yin and released the Cosmic Art.
Lu Yin released the Cosmic Art at the same time.
He directly ignored Chen Jian Yongsheng and used the Cosmic Art and Starry Sky Fist to test each other.
Not only did Lu Yin want to increase the speed of cultivating the Starry Sky Fist, but he also wanted to carve out his own path.
Chen Jian Yongsheng looked at the two cultivating and smiled happily. There was hope for the human race's inheritance. Masters, you can all rest in peace.
If he couldn't do it, there would always be someone who could.
In the long river of time, Zhao Ran looked at Lu Yin and Progenitor Chen and smiled as well. She then rowed the boat and hummed a song as she gradually left.
Lu Yin deeply understood the saying that cultivation knew nothing about time.
A thousand years had passed. Of course, it was only a thousand years in the mirage domain. However, this was the longest time Lu Yin had ever spent cultivating a battle technique.
Even a thousand years didn't feel like a long time to him. On the contrary, his comprehension of the Starry Sky Fist was becoming more and more confused.
He only needed to light up the stars one by one, but the more he cultivated and the more he could see each star clearly with the Cosmic Art, the more he felt like he couldn't continue cultivating. It was as if there was a wall in front of him.
Lu Yin was all too familiar with this feeling.
How many years had he been building a wall of his heart?
Before the wall of his heart could be built, the wall of the Starry Sky Fist appeared in front of him.
There was a contradictory feeling of helplessness.
He was clearly moving forward, but he felt like he was moving backward. Compared to a thousand years ago, his comprehension of the Starry Sky Fist was even worse.
Progenitor Chen stopped using the Cosmic Art and opened his eyes to look at Lu Yin. He frowned. "It's useless to cultivate like this. The Sixth Barrier definitely doesn't cultivate the Starry Sky Fist like this."
Lu Yin looked at Chen Jian Yongsheng. "Senior, did your masters mention how to cultivate the Starry Sky Fist?"
Chen Jian Yongsheng recalled, "Because I've never comprehended the Starry Sky Fist Manual, my masters didn't say much. They only mentioned it before they died."
"The stars of civilization, the stars of man." Lu Yin was puzzled. "The stars of civilization?
The stars of man? "
Chen Jian Yongsheng nodded. "My masters didn't say much about this, so I forgot about it. I wouldn't have remembered if you hadn't mentioned it." Lu Yin looked at Progenitor Chen.
Progenitor Chen didn't understand either.
He was extremely talented when it came to battle techniques, but this was clearly not just about battle techniques. It was more about civilization.
Lu Yin sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, deep in thought.
No one disturbed him. Progenitor Chen also closed his eyes and pondered about the Starry Sky Fist.
Chen Jian Yongsheng hoped that Lu Yin could comprehend this sentence. However, no matter how talented Lu Yin was, he had never experienced the Nine Bases Era. His masters had walked out of the Nine Bases Era. If they couldn't express it clearly, how could Lu Yin comprehend it?
Sometimes, the comprehension of certain words didn't depend on one's knowledge, but one's position.
The understanding of a frog in a well was different from that of a swan.
In terms of cultivation, Lu Yin had not achieved immortality and could not compare to Chen Jian Yongsheng's masters. In terms of experience, he had never cultivated in the Sixth Stronghold. However, he was the current Master of Civilization. The moment he comprehended the Starry Sky Fist Manual, he could see that this battle technique was more of a civilization's inheritance.
He was thinking from the perspective of the Master of Civilization.
On the other hand, Chen Jian Yongsheng and his masters had always been thinking from the perspective of individual cultivators.
The two of them had different perspectives and naturally saw different things.
Lu Yin might not be able to comprehend it that easily, but it was not as impossible as Chen Jian Yongsheng thought.
After some time, Lu Yin opened his eyes and looked at Progenitor Chen. "The cultivation inheritance of the Starry Sky Fist has been lost. It's not possible to walk the path of our predecessors for the time being. So let's see if we can try to find our own path."
"How?" Progenitor Chen asked.
Lu Yin said, "The Starry Sky Fist Manual uses the stars as a fist. Then let's learn by observing the stars. The more you forget, the more you learn."
Progenitor Chen praised, "Obtaining the inheritance, learning it, and breaking it. Especially when faced with such an invincible force, your courage is extraordinary. You are worthy of standing at the peak of human civilization."
Lu Yin said helplessly, "If there was a complete inheritance, I wouldn't want to do this either. I can only give it a try. With the Starry Sky Fist Manual as the foundation and the Starry Sky Fist as the form, I hope to see that invincible punch again with your talent."
Progenitor Chen laughed. "You think too highly of me. I, Xia Shang, admit that my talent in battle techniques is rare, but I dare not say that I surpass the countless heroes of the Ninth Stronghold era. However, I still have the courage to give it a try."
Lu Yin stood up. "There's a planet called Earth. You can see the stars. The reason why I chose this place is because Earth is in a galaxy called the Milky Way."
"Milky Way?" Progenitor Chen did not understand.
Chen Jian Yongsheng was shocked. "Milky Way?"
Lu Yin looked at Chen Jian Yongsheng. Unsurprisingly, Chen Jian Yongsheng knew about the Milky Way. The Milky Way was the Sixth Stronghold's Turbid Treasure.
Perhaps Chen Jian Yongsheng did not understand what the Turbid Treasure meant, but he learned it from his masters.
