Star Odyssey

Chapter 2854: Found It

Lu Yin understood. It was no wonder why Big Sis had gotten so angry whenever Ce Wangtian was mentioned. Even without Big Sis's fierce temper, being kicked out of the tree by Ce Wangtian would make even a mild-mannered person furious. Moreover, where had Ce Wangtian kicked Big Sis?

Lu Yin glanced at Big Sis.

Big Sis gritted her teeth, still lost in her anger towards Ce Wangtian. She had to chase that bastard to the Immemorial Citadel so that she could flay him.

"Then, what about the Yōu Secret Art? What's the deal with that?"

"That was a back-up I left behind. I left it behind before going to the war in the Third Mainland. That was to avoid dying on the battlefield."

"Smart."

"Of course."

"Big Sis, is Ce Wangtian very powerful?" Lu Yin asked.

Big Sis clenched a fist. "While I really don't want to admit it, that bastard is beyond shameless and extremely insidious. The strength that he’s revealed so far is absolutely not his true power, or else he would have never been able to kick me down. At that time, everyone was on guard against each other, and there was no way I would have trusted him, but he was still able to kick me off.”

Lu Yin understood that Ce Wangtian was a very cunning person.

"Why did you want to go to the Immemorial Citadel in the first place?" Lu Yin asked.

Big Sis frowned, but took a moment to think about it. "The Origin Progenitor once said that the Immemorial Citadel has a path that contains the power to rise above the Progenitor realm."

Lu Yin’s eyes grew wide. "The power to rise above the Progenitor realm?"

Big Sis looked at Lu Yin. "Everyone is certain that the Progenitor realm is the pinnacle of human cultivation, but you already know that there is a difference between weak and strong Progenitors. The weakest Progenitors can't defeat you, while you aren’t capable of even putting up a fight against the strongest Progenitors. Since we are split between the strong and the weak, then why are we all called Progenitors?

"Because the Progenitor realm is not the true pinnacle.

"The Origin Progenitor was not a Progenitor. While he claimed that he was a Progenitor and was referred to as such, everyone from our era agreed that the Origin Progenitor had clearly reached a higher level. The Three Realms and Six Dao were at the limit of a Progenitor’s strength, but the Origin Progenitor was still on another level from them. The only possibility anyone could imagine was that the Origin Progenitor had ascended beyond the Progenitor realm.”

Lu Yin understood. "The Lost Clan has Primeval cards, and those are also beyond the Progenitor realm."

Big Sis looked quite solemn. "The war between humans and Aeternus has lasted for countless years. Truthfully, during our era, the Aeternals were not taken seriously at first. It wasn’t until the First Mainland was destroyed and the Origin Progenitor disappeared, followed by one of the Three Realms and Six Dao. One by one, they died or disappeared. Only after that did the Aeternals show their fangs.”

Lu Yin nervously asked, "Why did that happen? What happened at the beginning?"

Big Sis shook her head. "It all happened too quickly. By the time we even reacted, the First Mainland had already shattered, quickly followed by the Fourth Mainland. An all-out war was being fought on the Third Mainland at Turtledove River. At the time, we had peak powerhouses from other universes helping us. I was kicked off of a tree by Ce Wangtian during the battle of Turtledove River, and I tried to reverse time, which is how I ended up in this current era. Actually, hasn’t Progenitor Yuan shared any of this with you?"

Lu Yin shook his head. Naturally, he had asked Ancestor Lu Yuan about the fall of the Heavens Sect, but the man had not wanted to say much to Lu Yin. Lu Yuan had mentioned that it involved karma beyond the limits of what Lu Yin could handle, which suggested that it involved forces beyond the Progenitor realm. That was the power that had shattered the First Mainland.

Progenitor Yuan feared that telling Lu Yin about such matters would influence the direction of the young man’s cultivation, which would change the path he was following.

"Where is the Origin Progenitor? Is he dead?"

"Since you’ve already asked Progenitor Yuan, don't ask me. How could I know more than him?"

Lu Yin realized that this was accurate.

Progenitor Lu Yuan was certain that the Origin Progenitor was not dead, but then, where was he? The Immemorial Citadel?

What did the Immemorial Citadel mean to the Aeternals? If there were many powerful humans there, why had they not counterattacked against Aeternus?

Lu Yin was only a Semi-Progenitor, and thus, this was all that he knew. He would not be able to learn more until he became a Progenitor.

Progenitor Lu Yuan had mentioned that Lu Yin’s path would only become fixed during his breakthrough to become a Progenitor. After that, the man would tell Lu Yin everything he knew.

Soon, Lu Yin and Big Sis parted ways.

The Heavens Sect had gained another powerful combatant: Progenitor Yōu Ming.

At the moment, the Heavens Sect and the Lu family had a total of twelve peak powerhouses in total. That number also did not include Lu Yin, who could fight on that level, or the jiao, which had escaped. Lu Yin still did not know where it was hiding.

In terms of sheer number, the Heavens Sect surpassed the Cyclic Universe, which had lost Sage Yuan, Evergreen Sage, and Sovereign Shao Yin. There was no question that the Origin Universe was the strongest member of the Sixverse Association.

The Cyclic Universe had Sovereigns Dou Sheng and Ninth Lotus, but the Origin Universe had Progenitor Lu Tianyi, Progenitor Yōu Ming, Lu Yin’s Senior Brother Mu Xie, as well as Astral-10’s headmaster, Shao Chen, who had reached the peak by taking an alternate path. Arch-Elder Zen was also someone who could not be ignored, as his Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique was able to bring out the power of Progenitor Lu Tianyi.

If war broke out between the two universes and Progenitor Lu Yuan held back the Great Sovereign, the Cyclic Universe would be defeated.

Additionally, Lu Yin had personal connections throughout the entire Sixverse Association who would support him. No matter how one looked at the situation, Lu Yin led the strongest force among the known parallel universes.

Lu Yin was particularly looking forward to when Lu Buzheng and the other Semi-Progenitors started to break through to the Progenitor realm. At that time, the Heavens Sect would witness the birth of another glorious era.

There were advantages and disadvantages to everything. The Origin Universe’s strength would naturally draw the ire of the Aeternals. For the next battle with Aeternus, the Origin Universe could not allow the Sixverse Association to take the lead.

...

"That way." In the Sixth Mainland, Destina was indicating towards a particular direction. Beside her were Lu Yin and Lu Tianyi.

Lu Yin had asked Lu Tianyi to accompany him to the Sixth Mainland to search for the Stargazing Deck.

Destiny had long since been a thorn in Lu Yin’s heart, and both Ancestor Lu Yuan and Ancestor Lu Tianyi also wanted to investigate Destiny more.

They were already aware that Wilderness God could be reborn, and both the Heavens Sect and the Lu family had been working hard to collect humanoid sourceboxes. If they could also find all of Destiny’s pearls, it might cause more of the Heavens Sect era’s greatest powerhouses to reappear.

Lu Yin and Lu Tianyi followed Destina’s directions and moved across the Sixth Mainland.

The Sixth Mainland was the Aeternals’ domain, but with Lu Tianyi taking the lead, Lu Yin and Destina were not at all afraid.

In fact, compared to the Aeternals, Destina was more worried about Lu Tianyi.

During the Heavens Sect era, Lu Tianyi had been a Dao Chosen, just like Chu Yuan, Heluo Mavis, and the others. However, he had since risen up to become one of the Lu family’s ancestors, and he was second only to Lu Yuan. Destina could sense the man’s strength.

Cultivating Destiny’s methods had granted Destina a unique means of feeling people’s strength, and to her perception, Lu Tianyi was exceptionally powerful.

The unfathomable aura reminded her of her master, Destiny. Destina found it ridiculous that Lu Tianyi actually gave off a similar impression as her master, as it should be impossible. Lu Tianyi could never reach the same level as Destiny, no matter how much time might pass. Even so, the oppressive feeling never diminished.

With Lu Tianyi leading the way, the three quickly arrived at where Destina had been indicating, and there, they saw the Daosource Sect.

At the end of the Heavens Sect era, four Mainlands had been destroyed, leaving only the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands surviving.

The Fifth Mainland had relied on the Lu family to survive, and in the subsequent years, Progenitor Chen, Progenitor Ku, and other amazing and talented people had been born. However, Lu Yin did not know how the Sixth Mainland had managed to survive for so long.

Still, the Sixth Mainland should not be that weak, or else it would have never been capable of fighting against the Fifth Mainland, even with the cooperation of the Aeternals.

All of the Sixth Mainland’s most powerful cultivators and their descendants had moved to the Fifth Mainland’s Outerverse, and they had also relocated their Daosource Sect. At one point in time, Kui Luo had snuck into the Sixth Mainland’s Daosource Sect and seen the statue of the Origin Progenitor. However, what Lu Yin and the others were looking at was the ruins of the Sixth Mainland’s original Daosource Sect.

Lu Tianyi stared at the ruins before him, feeling rather conflicted.

Only people who had lived during the height of the Heavens Sect era could appreciate the sadness induced by the rise and fall of the Origin Universe. The Daosource Sect had been the symbol of humanity for the Origin Universe, but it had been reduced to a haunt where the Aeternals produced corpse kings.

"Are you sure that it’s here?" Lu Tianyi asked softly.

Destina nodded. "Absolutely."

Lu Tianyi raised a hand and pointed a finger. The void warped, and an entire region of the universe was squeezed by some invisible power that swept out and split the ruins of Daosource Sect in two.

"The glory of the past is gone."

A massive figure charged out. It was one of the Aeternals’ Progenitor-level corpse kings.

The corpse king rushed at Lu Tianyi. It did not fear death, as corpse kings felt no fear at all. The monster raised a fist and slammed it down. Black gravel swirled just beyond the fist’s shockwave, which was clearly the corpse king’s innate gift.

Lu Tianyi's eyes did not even look at the corpse king. He continued to stare off into the distance as he took a single step forward, leading Lu Yin and Destina past the corpse king.

The corpse king was simply crushed.

Even a Progenitor-level corpse king had no way to fight back.

Destina's pupils shrank. She could not understand what had just happened.

However, Lu Yin did understand. Lu Tianyi had not attacked, but the sequence particles in front of the man had not moved or disappeared. The corpse king had killed itself by rushing straight into those sequence particles.

Those sequence particles were the laws of the universe that Lu Tianyi wielded, and it was a law of extreme destruction. As long as he touched something, should he so desire, Lu Tianyi would shatter what he touched. If he touched a person, they would not be able to heal the injury or heal. It was a truly domineering law.

This was Lu Tianyi’s law.

The gap between Progenitors was vaster than what people could imagine.

Ripples spread out, and every last corpse king was destroyed.

"If one chooses to become the corpse king, then they deserve no pity when they die. If they were forced to transform, then death liberates them. Xiaoxuan, you cannot be soft-hearted when it comes to Aeternus," Lu Tianyi commented in an off-hand manner.

Lu Yin acknowledged the advice, "This junior understands."

The ruins of the Daosource Sect were in terrible condition, and the walls that still stood were at risk of collapsing from the slightest touch. The place that had once represented the ultimate glory of the Sixth Mainland had been brought so low.

"Ancestor, is the Sixth Mainland’s Dao Monarch dead or alive?" Lu Yin asked.

Nothing was known about the Sixth Mainland’s Garan clan. There were known to have been the Three Realms and Six Dao during the Heavens Sect era, and while the Three Realms were all known, the Six Dao consisted of the six Dao Monarchs. The First Mainland had had the Origin Progenitor himself, and the Mavis family had ruled over the Second Mainland. Gu Yizhi had been the Dao Monarch of the Third Mainland. Wilderness God had been given the Fourth Mainland, and Ancestor Lu Yuan had been in charge of the Fifth Mainland. All of them were known and spoken about, but the Sixth Mainland’s Garan clan was almost never mentioned.

Lu Tianyi found the Stargazing Deck and led Lu Yin to it. "The Garan clan has a single lineage inheritance. Such an inheritance ensures that each descendant of their family will be powerful and that no weaklings will be born, but the shortcomings of such a bloodline are also quite clear. The family can be easily wiped out.

"The Garan family’s bloodline was severed with Sky Garan's disappearance. His father also died in battle, and their ancestor disappeared. Since then, the Garan family never appeared again. As time passed, everyone believe that the family had been wiped out."

Lu Yin asked, "The Garan family’s ancestor went missing?"

Lu Tianyi looked forward. "There it is."

Lu Yin looked forward and saw the Stargazing Deck just up ahead. The entire ruins of the Daosource Sect had been freed of corpse kings.

Lu Yin slowly walked down next to the Stargazing Deck. He had finally found it.

The pearl that had been given to the Lu family had been given away long ago, going missing. With the pearl that Lu Yin recovered, the only one still missing was the one that had been given to the Lu family. However, Lu Yin should be able to track it down with the other pearls that he had gathered.

With Lu Tianyi at his side, Lu Yin was in no hurry to grab the pearl. He wanted to first step onto the Stargazing Deck.
