Star Odyssey

Chapter 2762: Ancestors And Descendants

In the Cyclic Universe, a vast sky was filled with beautiful red clouds. Beneath that sky, a figure was respectfully bowing.

From high above the sky, a voice of unmatched majesty echoed out. "You wish to worship me as your master?"

"The Great Sovereigns name represents the peak of the entire megaverse. Becoming the disciple of such a person will be the greatest blessing of Xian'ers life."

"Given the power you cultivate, even if I become your master, I wont actually be able to teach you anything. You will need to find your own path."

"That is a matter of fate, and Xian'er's path still needs guidance from the Great Sovereign."

"Was it fate that guided you to do this?"

"Even if Desiny was present today, theyll have to bow to the Great Sovereign. Xian'er can only follow the Great Sovereigns will."

There was a pause.

"Chu Jian."

The Junior Sovereign stepped out and offered a deep bow. "Master."

"Go and make arrangements for me to accept Bai Xian'er as my disciple during the tea ceremony. From that day forward, she will be your senior disciple sister."

Chu Jian was stunned, and took a moment to react to what he was being told. "Senior disciple sister?"

He turned to look at Bai Xian'er. There was no denying that Chu Jian had been the Great Sovereigns first disciple, and while his cultivation was not as high as this womans, he was the perfect Junior Sovereign, and he should not be judged by his current cultivation. He would one day be one of the Three Sovereigns! On top of all that, this woman was from the Origin Universe, so why was his master accepting such a person as a disciple and placing her above him?

He struggled to accept what he was being told.

Bai Xian'er looked over at Chu Jian and smiled at him.

Chu Jian briefly lost himself in the sight. He did not understand why, but this woman radiated a certain charm that he found impossible to resist. Was it her beauty? No, he had seen too many beautiful women over the years, but this womans unique charm was nearly impossible to resist. In the past, Chu Jian had only had room for Bai Qian in his heart, but at this moment, the eyes that were looking at him eclipsed everything.

Chu Jian entirely forgot where he was or who he was looking at.

No, this was not right! Chu Jians pupils suddenly constricted as he stared at Bai Xian'er. This was not how things were supposed to be. He was the perfect Junior Sovereign! He was flawless, and he would not become enamored with any woman!

Bai Xian'er was surprised by the reaction, and she carefully observed Chu Jian.

"Your disciple understands, Master. I would like to enter seclusion."

"Do you intend to break through to become an Ascendant?"

Chu Jian solemnly replied, "Yes, Master."

"Very well. It is time to reveal your strength to the Sixverse Association. Starting from when you become an Ascendant, your master has but one requirement for you."

Chu Jian stared upwards.

"Be undefeated."

Bai Xian'ers eyebrows rose, and she looked back at Chu Jian.

A smile touched the mans lips. "Your disciple understands. From the moment I become an Ascendant, regardless of who I face, I will never be defeated."

"Before you go into seclusion, I have one more task for you: go to the Origin Universe and meet that child of the Lu family."

Lu Yin had already returned to the Heavens Sect.

As soon as he arrived, he went to find Wendy Yushan. He was relieved to see that she was fine.

Similarly, Wendy Yushan was relieved to see that Lu Yin was safe. "I'm sorry. I made things difficult for you."

Lu Yin visibly relaxed. "It's good to be back, but you did nothing wrong. Honestly, if anything, I made things difficult for you.

"Which parallel universe did you end up in?"

Wendy Yushan frowned. "The Platinum Universe."

Just as he had thought. A cold glint flickered in Lu Yin's eyes. Not only had Sovereign Shao Yin basically pushed Lu Yin into the Umbral Universe, but he had also wanted Lu Yin to travel to the furthest Platinum Universe, crossing through the entire Endless Frontier.

"I dont even know how I ended up in the Platinum Universe. When I woke up, I saw a woman staring at me. She was at least as powerful as an Envoy, if not a Semi-Progenitor. If not for my innate gift, I would have never been able to escape."

Lu Yin nodded. "She didn't realize what your innate gift is, right?"

Wendy Yushan remained silent, telling Lu Yin that her secret had been exposed. "Its already great that you were able to return safely. Just stay here for now. No one can touch you as long as you remain here."

Wendy Yushan clenched her fists. She had desperately wanted to remain in the Sixverse Association and raise her cultivation. She did not want to be trapped in the Heavens Sect like a bird in a cage.

Lu Yin fully understood Wendy Yushans feelings. She, Zhuo Daynight, and Ling Gong were all self-reliant and self-made women. They deserved admiration, even if Lu Yin could not help but worry about them.

"Don't worry. I won't let you stay here for too long. I will find a way to solve the problem."

Wendy Yushan stared at Lu Yin. "Sovereign Shao Yin?"

"I am going to force him to repay his debt to my Lu family, as well as his debt to you."

"Do not underestimate him. That fact that hes managed to become one of the Three Sovereigns means that hes nearly invincible," Wendy Yushan cautioned.

Lu Yin nodded and turned to leave. He needed to speak with Lu Buzheng, as the most important thing to do at this moment was to learn just who Old Mo was, and the best person to speak to was most likely Lu Buzheng.

"Old Mo? Whos Old Mo?" Lu Buzheng asked in confusion.

Lu Yin had no idea what Old Mo's true name was, so he instead shared what he had learned about the ancient Progenitor.

After hearing a few words, Lu Buzhengs eyes grew large, and he blurted, "Sinister Mo!?"

"Sinister Mo?" Lu Yin was taken aback. Was that really a name?

Lu Buzheng's expression grew ugly. "Hes actually alive? Thats bad, and from what youre telling me, really bad. I never thought that the sneaky bastard would still be alive. I had just assumed that he was dead. Theres no question that the man caused all kinds of trouble for thousands of years, and even more than that. This is a very big problem.

Lu Yin solemnly said, "Tell me everything you know about him."

Lu Buzheng proceeded to share everything he knew about Old Mo, and as Lu Yin listened, he understood just how much trouble was coming.

Old Mo, whose name had once been Mo Shang, had been born into a business family, and from childhood, he had possessed a cunning mind and had developed a reputation as a business prodigy. It was by chance that he had started cultivating, but his shrewd mind and exceptional talent caused his strength to soar, and he made continuous breakthroughs. After becoming an Envoy, he had met Wu Xing, and although no one knew what Mo Shang had done to win Wu Xings approval, he had been taken to see the Sword Monument on several occasions. As a result, many people had started to see Mo Shang as one of Wu Tians people.

Mo Shang was thrilled about the misunderstanding, and he continued to stay close to Wu Xing. Even if it was not possible to repeatedly visit the Sword Monument, Mo Shang preferred to spend time with Wu Xing, which strengthened others belief that Mo Shang was one of Wu Tians people.

With Wu Xings help, Mo Shangs cultivation improved even faster. He was clearly naturally gifted, and he eventually received the position of one of the Twelve Heavenly Gatemasters.

Lu Buzheng's face twisted as he spoke. "Back then, Senior Wu Xing was completely different from the current Undying God. In the past, Senior Wu Xing's talent was so incredible that he was even acknowledged by Wu Tian, and Mo Yinxian was in turn acknowledged by Wu Xing. Senior recognized Mo Yinxians impressive talent, and Mo Yinxian can also be very charming to people. So with Senior Wu Xings help, he eventually became one of the Twelve Heavenly Gatemasters.

"Only the rest of us gatemasters understood just how insidious the man was. He would happily betray his friends for greater glory, and he was always scheming and laying plans. He would frame his brothers and play with peoples emotions, doing whatever he had to to advance. He even made friends with cruel and notorious people like the Eastern Mountains Tea King. He schemed on all six Mainlands, deceiving people wherever he went. So many people started calling him Mo Yinxian that they forgot his true name.

"Despite all of this, I have to admit that the man was truly powerful. While there was no distinction between the twelve gatemasters in terms of who was powerful or weak, Mo Shang was always cunning, and he cultivates a very dark energy. Even I would have struggled to beat him."

Lu Buzheng's expression grew worse as he spoke. "There would have been no problems if he had died, and yet not only has he survived, but hes also managed to become a Progenitor, which is a big problem. With his scheming and selfish personality, he most likely does not care about things like Aeternus or humanity. The man is completely devoid of all morals."

Lu Yin took a deep breath, feeling a growing weight as he learned more.

Mo Shang had betrayed Wu Tian and then remained hidden in the Umbral Universe for countless years in order to search for Heavens Sight. Not only was the man unscrupulous, but he was also determined and motivated. This was the most difficult kind of person to deal with.

"Ask your senior brother to come back to the Heavens Sect, but even with him there, if we add in Cloudflow and probably even Arch-Elder Zen, they wont be able to defeat Mo Yinxian. But even with his level of power, he might not face us directly, but will rather scheme against us. Ive seen him do that many times before.

Right, do you know why he hates me?"

Lu Yin stared at Lu Buzheng, and the mans voice dropped low. "Because I used our family's power to spread stories of the mans insidious deeds so that people would not be deceived by him anymore. Later on, after I managed to cultivate the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique, I used Destinys power to scare him on several different occasions. Thats why he hates me so much. Its just a pity that those at Wu Tians level never paid attention to us, or else Wu Tian would have never been betrayed.

Lu Yin understood. It was no wonder why Old Mo had been so excited when he had mentioned Lu Buzheng. The old man had been thrilled to learn that Lu Buzheng had survived, and he wanted to personally settle the old score.

The two things that Old Mo wanted most were to obtain Heavens Sight and to get revenge on Lu Buzheng. It would be strange if he was not drawn to the Heavens Sect.

The worst possibility would be if Old Mo decided to join Aeternus, as he would be just as strong as the Seven Skygods.

"Third Uncle, are there any other very powerful enemies from your era who are still alive today?" Lu Yin asked in a helpless manner.

Lu Buzheng rolled his eyes. "Don't ask me about that. Our ancestors offended many people, such as Destiny and Wilderness God, not to mention far more people below the Three Realms Six Dao. Of those kinds of people, Ancestor once slapped one of the masters of one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, so you tell me."

Lu Yin gave a bitter smile. Would the descendants need to pay the debts of their ancestors?

He did not wait another moment, and he immediately went to find his senior brother. There was no way Lu Yin could relax until his senior brother arrived to take the lead on such matters.

After Mu Xie heard about Old Mo, there was no interest in the man himself or his history, but Mu Xie was very interested in Old Mo's strength.

"I have been stuck at my current level for some time now, and this mans strength might provide me with the inspiration that I need," Mu Xie said.
