Perhaps it had sensed the threat, but the next moment, Jupiter changed. A giant vortex formed on the planet's surface, and Lu Yin was shocked to discover that the number of rune lines on the planet had increased without limit.
It had far surpassed a Hunter's, and it had even surpassed Karthika's.
Lu Yin hurriedly retreated and sized up Jupiter in shock. It was just as Huo Qingshan had said; Jupiter really did have some ancient defensive measures that surpassed an Enlighter's, and they might even be able to block powerhouses with power levels above 300,000.
Lu Yin could not break in with his current strength.
"Uncle Huo, I've arrived at Jupiter." Lu Yin activated his gadget and contacted Huo Qingshan.
Huo Qingshan asked, "Your Highness, can you enter?"
Lu Yin fell silent.
"Your Highness, the Hidden Earth Society has watched Earth's civilization develop and decline for countless years, but they have never interfered. They only wish to preserve the ancient secrets. Anyone who leaves Jupiter will never be able to return, and the same goes for me. It's impossible for you to enter, and it's also impossible for you to communicate with them," Huo Qingshan said.
Lu Yin looked at Jupiter unwillingly. The secret of the primeval surnames was right in front of him. Was he going to give up now?
"Your Highness, there have always been people from the Hidden Earth Organization on Earth. Like me, that person will never be able to return. That person's mission is to find talented children and send them to Jupiter. Perhaps that person will know more than me," said Huo Qingshan.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "How do we find that person?"
"I don't know. Ever since I left Jupiter, I have never asked about the Hidden Earth Society, and they have never contacted me. Although I have the symbol of the society, I am no longer a member of the society," Huo Qingshan said helplessly.
Lu Yin looked at Jupiter helplessly. It was like a giant tortoise shell, and this group of people was forever holed up inside. It was truly troublesome.
He had no way to threaten this organization. Expose them?
After countless years, he believed that the culprit who had destroyed Earth must have known about the Hidden Earth Society's existence. He did not believe that this organization could remain hidden forever, and exposing them would not be a threat. Furthermore, even if the culprit knew, he could not do anything about it. This organization was like a dead pig that did not fear boiling water.
"I am Lu Yin, and I have the primeval surname. I wish to abide by the ancient agreement, so please allow me to enter!"
Lu Yin shouted.
The Hunter did not move.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Earth's civilization has been destroyed many times.. Do you plan to hide it forever?
I, Lu Yin, am confident that I am an unparalleled Limiteer, and I will shake the universe.. You must also show some sincerity.
No one bothered with him.
"Do you guys want to be cowards forever?" Lu Yin shouted.
Still, no one bothered with him.
Lu Yin was speechless.
"Seventh Bro, this group of people can even watch as their homeworld was destroyed, so how could they be moved by just a few words from you? I think that you might as well look for that Hidden Earth organization from Earth. Although it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, at least there's a needle for you to find," the monkey said.
Lu Yin shook his head. "If that person is able to hide on Earth, then that means that his strength is average. He might not even know as much as Huo Qingshan."
"That's true. It's a primeval surname, a primeval surname. Since ancient times, the Human Domain has been hunting down those with primeval surnames. It's very strange," the monkey said.
Lu Yin's eyes twitched. "What do you know?"
"I don't know. Although a powerhouse's notes have mentioned primeval surnames, there's no secret about them. I suggest that you start with the Lockbreaker Society. I remember reading a note from a human powerhouse that was filled with resentment towards the Lockbreaker Society. That powerhouse had a primeval surname, Wang. He had no legal status, and his lockbreaking talent was extraordinary, but he was unable to join the Lockbreaker Society," the monkey said.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. That's right, he had forgotten that the Lockbreaker Society had a rule that stated that those with a primeval surname could not join. This rule had never been broken, and since they had such a rule, it meant that they had some understanding of the primeval surnames.
Since he could not find a way to break through this Hidden Earth organization, then the Lockbreaker Society was another option.
The Innerverse and Outerverse were separated, but there were still Lockbreaker Society branches in the Outerverse, so perhaps he could find something.
It seemed like it was time for another round of lockbreaking so that he could reach the Perceptive Intermediate as soon as possible and enter the upper echelons of the society.
Lu Yin looked at Jupiter. "You guys can hole up forever. Sooner or later, that culprit will be able to break through Jupiter's defenses. At that time, you guys will also be exterminated. Don't come begging me for help then."
The Hunter on Jupiter did not move, nor did he seem to have any intention of speaking to Lu Yin.
Just as Lu Yin was about to return to Earth, the monkey suddenly said, "Seventh Bro, I'm about to break through. Quick, let's find a place."
Lu Yin looked around and then took out a collapsible spacecraft. He boarded it and instantly arrived at Neptune. He donned his armor and said to the monkey, "Break through."
The monkey's figure floated out of Lu Yin's right arm. If anyone else saw this, they would definitely be frightened out of their wits.
The monkey had been stuck at the Limiteer realm for a very long time. Back then, Lu Yin had only been a Melder, but now, the monkey had reached the critical point.
Lu Yin looked at the monkey strangely. It was strange that a phantom that had been branded onto his body could break through without needing any star essence.
He had forgotten to ask Kuang Wang if their tamed beasts had this ability as well.
Astral beasts were different from humans in that they did not need formcast models to break through. Some astral beasts could become Explorers as soon as they matured.
It was very easy for the monkey to break through to the Explorer realm, as all he had to do was release it and let it roam around. There was no movement at all, which made Lu Yin wonder if the monkey was just toying with him.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed as he watched the monkey's figure fuse back into his right arm. "You broke through?"
"Yes, I did." The monkey was pleased with himself.
Lu Yin frowned. "You really broke through?
Why didn't I feel anything? "
The monkey's figure floated out, and a powerful fluctuation swept across the area as it looked at Lu Yin proudly.
Lu Yin's eyes filled with star energy, and he could see the number of rune lines within the monkey's body. The monkey was indeed an Explorer, and it was much stronger than the average Explorer. But how had it broken through so quickly?
It was like a game.
Lu Yin was a little envious. It would be great if he could break through to the Explorer realm so easily.
"Seventh Bro, astral beasts are innately different from humans. Our bodies are destined to reach a certain level of cultivation unless there is a mutation. You humans are different. You are destined to never reach our heights from birth, and you can only change your body to meet the needs of the universe. This is actually equivalent to us astral beasts mutating. That's why I'm telling you that we astral beasts are favored by the universe. You humans are just products of failed evolution."
"But there's no limit to our cultivation," Lu Yin calmly replied.
The monkey wanted to argue, but it found that there was no way to do so. Humans were mutating from the very first step of cultivation, and there was indeed no limit to their cultivation. Given enough time, they could even cultivate to the Progenitor realm. Throughout history, the number of human Progenitors surpassed the number of astral beasts, and this was something that could not be changed.
Lu Yin had originally wondered if the monkey's breakthrough would cause a huge commotion, but who would have thought that it would happen so quickly?
Now that the monkey had become an Explorer, it meant that even without the universal armor, Lu Yin could still wander the universe with the monkey's help. It was just that he had to be dragged around by the monkey. However, if he ever encountered a place like Planet Pyrolyte, then he would have to shield his right arm and not let the monkey come into contact with star energy.
Lu Yin turned on his gadget and contacted the Great Yu Empire's army stationed near Earth. He had them monitor Jupiter and immediately capture any lifeforms that came out of the planet. He also ordered them to prevent anyone from approaching the planet.
He did not believe that these people would be cowards forever.
Neptune had a special meaning to Earth. It was Bai Qian who had discovered Qingyu on Neptune, which had led to the apocalypse on Earth. Bai Qian herself had stepped into outer space, and it was likely that she had borrowed Starsibyl's invitation. As for Qingyu, Lu Yin had asked Liu Shaoge about it back at East San Dios, and Liu Shaoge had told him that Qingyu had been imprisoned for stealing an inheritance stone.
Qingyu was a hidden danger. He had been an Explorer back then, but his strength had been greatly reduced due to his serious injuries. Even so, he had still been able to rely on his various battle techniques to suppress them. As for Qingyu's innate gift, it had never been revealed.
Lu Yin did not know if Qingyu had an innate gift, but he would rather consider the worst case scenario. Qingyu had an innate gift, but due to certain restrictions, he could not use it.
His imprisonment was limited, and once it ended, he would definitely come looking for Lu Yin.
Unfortunately, the Innerverse and Outerverse were now separated, so Qingyu would not be able to come.
Instead of using his universal armor, Lu Yin had the monkey drag him through outer space.
The monkey was rather excited as well. Once an astral beast broke through to the Explorer realm, their physique would naturally change, and they would be more suited to survive in outer space. There was no need for them to adapt at all. The monkey transformed into a shadow and leapt up. Lu Yin was dragged along by the shadow as they left Neptune and appeared in the darkness of outer space.
This feeling was similar to when his spacecraft had exploded and appeared in outer space. The only difference was that he could only float in outer space and could not move at all. Now, he was being dragged along by the monkey, and he could go wherever he wanted. His speed was not slow, and no one could tell that he was moving because the monkey was a shadow. It was very convenient to hide in his shadow.
Lu Yin was dragged along by the monkey towards Earth.
Outside of Earth, the Great Yu Empire's army quickly discovered Lu Yin's tracks, and they stared at him in shock as he leisurely floated through outer space. Wasn't the Royal Regent a Limiteer?
How was he able to roam outer space?
Had the Royal Regent broken through?
Lu Yin did not encounter any obstructions, and he directly entered Earth's atmosphere before landing above the ocean. After determining the direction, he headed towards Jinling in China. He wanted to meet an old acquaintance.
Because of Lu Yin, Earth had changed greatly, and many people had embarked on the path of cultivation. Because Lu Yin had once cultivated in Jinling, the Great Yu Empire had specially set up a cultivation school in the suburbs of the city. The headmaster of the school was Zhou Shan, but he was essentially an honorary headmaster. All of the cultivation resources of the school were controlled by people sent by the Great Yu Empire.
After several years of development, not only had the zombies been cleared out, but Jinling had also become much more prosperous than before. Aircraft could now roam the skies, and there were even more people on the ground who were clearly different from those on Earth.
