Star Odyssey

Chapter 2829: The Wordless Heavenly Book

Lu Yin averted his eyes and looked back up. Next was the stellular energy vortex in his upper meridian point.

While he had four stellular energy vortices, there was also the power system that had formed an independent universe inside Lu Yin’s chest. He did not know if that power would also trigger a Semi-Progenitor tribulation. Theoretically it should be impossible, as it was a different cultivation method. The God of Death’s death energy was a different cultivation method, and it did not trigger any stellular tribulations.

However, the universe that Lu Yin was cultivating had amazed even Mister Mu. If that power triggered a Semi-Progenitor tribulation, Lu Yin had no idea what sort of freakish tribulation would appear.

As he considered that, his stellular energy vortex appeared.

The people watching were all shocked. Really?

Forgotten Ruins Goddess laughed louder and louder. "This is so interesting! Little Lu Yin, you are fascinating! Since the ancient era to now, there’s been no one as interesting as you. Just how in the world do you even cultivate? Four stellular energy vortices? Hehe."

Undying God was openly surprised. "He formed four stellular energy vortices, but didn't die during his breakthrough to become an Envoy? That’s simply a miracle."

Shaman God smiled strangely. "I regret it, kaka. I really regret it. If I had known that this boy was such a freak, what kind of monster would he have become after being transformed into a corpse king? We would have gained another Skygod."

Great Elder Shan Gu watched in amazement. It was no wonder how this child had drawn out the Primeval card. This child's cultivation amazed even the Seven Skygods. Only by not being restricted to a single universe had it been possible to overcome the normal limitations. This child had to be kept alive.

Lu Yin could no longer hear people’s comments, as he was dealing with an internal struggle.

He had already considered all four stellular energy vortices, and he had decided that for his fourth one, he would trigger the tribulation with the Origin Progenitor’s Sutra.

Many people use their best battle techniques or abilities as the trigger to form their inner world. Some people even used innate gifts, but Lu Yin did not want to do any of that. His battle techniques, abilities, and most of the powers that he had cultivated were concentrated in his internal universe, and he did not want to use any of those to form his inner worlds.

That was why he had decided on physical strength for his first inner world, and the second had been the power of space. These were not powers that he had obtained from others, but rather abilities that belonged to him alone that were native to the universe itself.

Flipping the Sky had been given to Lu Yin by Lu Xiaoxuan. In the past, he had believed that Lu Xiaoxuan had indeed created it himself and had therefore regarded it as his own as well, which was why he had used it. After the most recent tribulation that he had narrowly survived, while Lu Yin no longer believed that it was a technique that could have been created by Lu Xiaoxuan. But as he was also the only one in the universe who could use Flipping the Sky, it might very well have been created by Lu Xiaoxuan.

According to Lu Yin’s plans, his final inner world would be triggered with the Origin Progenitor’s Sutra, becoming the only inner world that could be regarded as a kind of inheritance. It was no simple inheritance, as it came from the Origin Progenitor himself. Thus, there was no loss to use something that had not originated with Lu Yin.

However, Lu Yin had become rather panicked. Each of his stellular tribulations had become increasingly freakish. The river of time, a speck of dust—truly bizarre stellular tribulations had appeared. If Lu Yin triggered this last one with the Origin Sutra, he could not afford to face the Origin Progenitor as a Semi-Progenitor.

Lu Yin truly believed himself to be without peer within the same realm of cultivation, confident that he exceeded even the Three Realms Six Dao as Semi-Progneitors. However, that absolute self-confidence did not extend to the Origin Progenitor.

That man was humanity’s ancestor, and there was no telling what sort of existence the man had been.

The appearance of the river of time and the dust caused Lu Yin to hesitate. Should he trigger the tribulation with the Origin Progenitor’s Sutra?

It was clear to everyone watching that Lu Yin was hesitating, but no one understood just why he was hesitating. They assumed that he simply did not know what he wanted to use to trigger his next tribulation.

This also made sense to people, as Lu Yin had already formed three inner worlds. How many different paths could a person cultivate? How many powers could one person possess?

Each of Lu Yin's three inner worlds had been more terrifying than the last. They exceeded anyone’s imagination. How could he have anything more with which to trigger his stellular tribulation?

However, Lu Yin had more than one option he could use.

He had also considered using the Investiture of the Gods or his Champions’ Stage to trigger a tribulation, but Lu Buzheng had eliminated that possibility for Lu Yin.

According to Lu Buzheng, the Investiture of the Gods and the Champions’ Stage were both abilities that were incapable of affecting a stellular tribulation. Even if a person tried to use them, a tribulation would not be triggered. It was impossible to form an inner world from either of those two abilities.

Even so, Lu Yin still had Truesight and the power of runes, Wielder - Indestructible, and his domain; there were simply too many options. However, what he wanted most of all was to use the Origin Sutra. The problem was, he was terrified of the corresponding stellular tribulation.

After taking a moment to think, Lu Yin took a deep breath and clasped his hands behind his back as he gazed up at his stellular tribulation. It was right for him to be afraid, as he could not die yet. He needed to save the Heavens Sect and bring back the Lu family. However, if he turned away from the path that he had already decided upon, it would be no different from destroying his own determination. Then, how would he be able to pave his own path in the future?

He needed to bring back the Lu family. If he chose a secure method to survive his Semi-Progenitor tribulation, would it be enough to break the fourth layer of the seal on his back? He had no idea how powerful the seal that the Lu family had placed on him had become, but if he considered things from the perspective of Ancestor Lu Tianyi, there was no chance that the seal was weak. Even the slightest risk of failure would invalidate all of Lu Yin’s previous efforts.

If this failed, how would he ever bring back the Lu family? How could he hope to change the Heavens Sect’s current desperate situation and save them?

There was only a small chance of surviving any stellular tribulation, but since Lu Yin had already survived three tribulations, he could definitely survive the entire thing. He would find a way to overcome this fourth tribulation.

With this thought, Lu Yin opened his mouth and began to recite the Origin Sutra.

"When the Dao of Heavens is bestowed, devour the hundreds of rivers, and the reflection of the ancient lands is the way of the sage. When the Dao of Heavens is not present, gather the energy inwards… Leap into the cosmos and crouch… Harmonious with the common people… Devour the hundreds of rivers… Leap into the boundless skies and crouch…"

Lu Yin’s recitation was done in a very soft voice. The volume was such that no one outside the range of his stellular tribulation could hear a thing.

Yet each word rang out like a mallet that struck the universe itself, forming ripples that struck the stellular tribulation’s black hole.

Far away, the Great Sovereign and True God Wei Yi grew solemn. This child actually dared to trigger his stellular tribulation with the Origin Progenitor’s Sutra? There were only two possible outcomes: life or death.

If the river of time and Primaldust had given Lu Yin time to react or even fight back, the Origin Sutra would not.

No one else knew about this, not even the Three Realms Six Dao. Only those who had reached the same level could truly understand the meaning of the Origin Sutra.

This would not trigger a tribulation, but rather a judgment.

Why had only the Three Realms Six Dao been qualified to receive the Origin Progenitor’s teachings in order to develop unique powers? It was because they had each been the master of a Mainland.

While it was possible for others to practice the Origin Sutra, they could only do so with the version passed down by the Three Realms Six Dao, which was not the true Origin Progenitor’s Sutra.

This was also true of the Lu family’s descendant, but more importantly, he was using the Origin Sutra to trigger his stellular tribulation. This would trigger a judgment that would be passed in an instant, deciding if he lived or died.

Forget about Lu Yin—such a judgment would instantly determine the life or death of even the Three Realms Six Dao.

This was a true judgment, not a tribulation.

It was a judgment from the universe itself.

Multiple sounds emerged from the tribulation’s black hole, and Lu Yin immediately saw a strange scene. He saw images of a universe flicker by, and there seemed to be some kind of connection between parallel universes. He saw the Origin Universe, the Mother Tree, the Fifth Mainland, and Leng Qing surpassing his Progenitor’s tribulation.

Why did he see Leng Qing’s tribulation?

Suddenly, Lu Yin's mind was jostled, and he blanked out. He could remember nothing at that moment, as he seemed to have lost his soul. His eyes lost all focus.

He was no longer himself and was nothing more than a shell.

This situation lasted for only a single moment, and after that, Lu Yin woke back up.

He stared up at the tribulation in confusion. What had just happened?

Far away, the Great Sovereign and True God Wei Yi were both startled. "He's not dead?"

A smile appeared on True God’s face. "It appears that the child is quite popular in the Origin Universe, which allowed him to live. For him, this might have been the easiest part of his entire Semi-Progenitor tribulation."

The Great Sovereign stared intently at Lu Yin upon seeing that he had not died. She understood precisely what that meant: this child was treading the same path as him. Such people were the most revolting to her.

Even now, the stellular tribulation had not appeared.

Lu Yin had no idea what had just happened, and neither did anyone else watching.

Not even Ancient God understood what had just passed.

One by one, everyone turned to stare up at the tribulation.

Within Lu Yin's body, the stellular energy vortex in his upper meridian point started to transform.

He was startled to see that the transformation had started without any tribulation. Why was this happening?

The stranger the situation, the more uncomfortable Lu Yin felt, but at this moment, there was nothing that he could do but watch as his stellular energy vortex transformed. At the same time, his Origin Matter suddenly fell from his upper meridian point and into his middle meridian point, entering his Dust World.

Lu Yin was essentially a passenger at this moment, unable to understand or influence what was happening inside his own body.

Finally, an inner world appeared within his upper meridian point.

Lu Yin found this inner world to be very weird. Other people’s inner worlds typically encompassed a large area, like Lan Xian and Arch-Elder Zen’s, or items, like Xia Ji’s. There were also very strange ones, like Kui Luo’s, which would force his opponents to leap over the jiao’s gate.

Just what were Lu Yin’s inner worlds?

His Infinity could be regarded as normal, and Lightstream was also reasonable, but the Dust World was undoubtedly strange. How could a speck of dust be considered a weapon? As for Lu Yin’s fourth inner world, it was just a sheet of paper.

He stared at the inner world that had been formed from the stellular energy vortex within his body. It was simply a piece of paper. No, was it a scroll? That also did not seem quite right; was it a piece of cloth?

He could not determine how to best describe his fourth inner world. It looked like the unfurled Investiture of the Gods, but there was nothing on it.

Staring at the blank scroll, Lu Yin had no idea what it was for.

As his confusion mounted, words started to appear. He quickly read what appeared, seeing a list of names: Leng Qing, Kui Luo, Lu Buzheng, Cai Er, Arch-Elder Zen, the Progenitor of Bloodlines, Master Shan, Elder Gong. More and more names appeared, all of them familiar. Countless names appeared on the scroll. While Lu Yin initially recognized the names, as more appeared, he was no longer able to recognize them all.

The names kept appearing on the scroll, and new names would appear and push the old names away, replacing them.

Lu Yin stared on blankly. He had no clue what these names represented, but as the number of names that appeared continued to increase, the scroll seemed to become a sacred object that possessed an invisible weight. This was not a physical weight, but rather a spiritual one. This inexplicable weight hung upon Lu Yin's heart.

The entire thing was a mystery. Lu Yin did not know the meaning of the names that had appeared, but he certainly had not expected such a bizarre outcome after triggering his tribulation with the Origin Sutra.

Regardless, he would call this inner world the Wordless Heavenly Book.

"Is it over? What just happened?" Sage Jiang commented in surprise.

Lu Yin looked over.

"Junior Brother, are you alright? Watch out! The Seven Skygods will try everything they can to kill you, so just run away as soon as this is over!" Xu Leng shouted. She wanted Lu Yin to leave the battlefield. Even if doing so was considered desertion, this was a battlefield for peak powerhouses, while Lu Yin was nothing more than a Semi-Progenitor, even after his tribulation. No one would say anything about a Semi-Progenitor leaving such a battlefield, and that was not even considering the fact that the Seven Skygods wanted Lu Yin dead.

Great Elder Shan Gu spoke up as well. "Leave."

Forgotten Ruins God showed a tender smile. "Little Lu Yin, can you tell Big Sister what your fourth inner world is?"

Lu Yin arched a brow. He looked at the Wordless Heavenly Book sitting before him, and then back at Forgotten Ruins God. "Can't you see it?"

Forgotten Ruins God blinked, taken aback by the response. "Should I see something?"
