Chapter 2059: The Modern World

From the beginning of the history of human cultivation, after the appearance of stellular energy, who could have imagined that the G.o.d of Death would create death energy? Or that Destiny would be able to see through the future and the past? Who could have thought that the Rune Progenitor would be capable of creating the runes system? Who could have imagined the possibility of Extremes Must Be Reversed?

Every aspect of human civilization stemmed from humans’ ability to create and realize new ideas.

Creation was birthed from wisdom, or to be a bit more accurate, from whimsical thoughts.

The more absurd the concept, the more miraculous the results would be if one succeeded in their endeavor. In the past, Progenitors had created all kinds of unique power sources for cultivation methods, so there was no reason for Lu Yin to avoid testing out some far-fetched ideas.

Lu Yin did as he wished. He had already absorbed all of the cauldron energy from five of the cauldrons, shattering them in the process. He had not started absorbing any cauldron energy from the sixth cauldron yet, so he was still limited to just five suns.

A very long time had pa.s.sed since Lu Yin had last used the Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation, but he first pulled out Zenith Mountain. Even if it was possible to store stellular energy in the five suns, it was impossible for Lu Yin to store such a thing in a cosmic ring. The only chance of success would be if he relied on Zenith Mountain.

As the stellular energy continued to gather, Lu Yin lifted his hand to look at the five dazzling suns that were forming in his palm as he absorbed the surrounding stellular energy. "Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation: Five Suns."

The five suns continued to grow larger, and they soon rose up into the sky. They really did look as dazzling as five suns, but they continued to absorb more and more stellular energy.

When Lu Yin had first used the Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation with just the first sun, he had used up almost all the star energy that had been in his body at the time. Back then, Lu Yin had not been able to endure the power of the battle technique, which had limited the strength that he could utilize. However, after the second, third, and especially the fourth suns appeared, the technique had undergone some sort of mysterious change that Lu Yin could not quite fathom. There was something about the Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation that not even the First Protector of Mt. Microcosms Mountain had been able to discern, but he had said that it almost felt as though the technique was looking back at him.

The appearance of the fourth sun had not only changed the battle technique in some mysterious manner, but it had also given it the ability to continuously absorb ambient energy, regardless of whether it was star energy or stellular energy.

After Mister Mu had taught Lu Yin more about the Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation, Lu Yin had come to understand the technique’s potential better. Theoretically, the power of this technique was limitless. That was the true face of the Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation.

Lu Yin had actually been worried that absorbing too much stellular energy would attract the attention of the true universe, but given the current situation where all the stellular energy in the true universe was being devoured by those droplets of strange liquid, the amount of stellular energy that Lu Yin could influence was completely insufficient to draw the true universe’s notice.

Eventually, each of the suns reached the point where they contained half the total amount of stellular energy that Lu Yin possessed. In other words, altogether, the five suns held more stellular energy than all four of Lu Yin’s stellular energy vortices.

On top of that, this was just the beginning. The five suns were still absorbing more and more stellular energy, and their power was growing exponentially.

The five suns grew increasingly powerful with every pa.s.sing second, and it was not long before each of them contained far more energy than what Lu Yin’s entire body possessed. If Lu Yin’s estimation was correct, then the five suns should c.u.mulatively have more stellular energy than what even the Second Nightking possessed.

The amount of stellular energy within any of Lu Yin’s stellular energy vortices was much greater than anyone at the same cultivation realm as him, and beyond that, Lu Yin also possessed four stellular energy vortices, which increased his reserves an additional fourfold.

If all five of these suns exploded, it would be powerful enough to frighten experts with power levels of over a million, and even Semi-Progenitors would feel their scalps go numb.

The amount of stellular energy that he had absorbed from the region of the Daosource Sect ruins with the Mountains and Seas soon reached levels where the other regions of the ruins began to feel the effects.

If one were able to observe the entire Daosource Sect ruins, they would see ripples spreading through the void from the Mountain and Seas region, slowly encompa.s.sing the entire ruins.

While Lu Yin was absorbing stellular energy into his five suns, the ruins trembled, and cracks appeared in many places. The sea beneath Lu Yin started to churn, and the mountains started to break apart. Far away, many places like the Scripture Pavilion, the Platform of Inception, the place where the Arrow Progenitor’s inheritance had been discovered, and more all started to crack apart. Even the Nine Cauldrons Region started to crack, and the last four cauldrons began to shake.

These sudden changes startled Lu Yin. What’s going on? This isn’t because of me, is it? No, it can’t be. I was just taking a bit of stellular energy.

Next to the Daosource Sect’s main hall, both Jiu Yao and Lan Xian’s expressions twisted as they stared at Chu Yuan who was inside the main hall. The ground all around them was churning and breaking apart, and a ma.s.sive spatial tear had appeared in the sky overhead.

"Come out here!" Jiu Yao yelled as he tried to grab Chu Yuan with a hand.

Blood could be seen at the corner of Chu Yuan's mouth. "You want my blood? Are you worthy of it?"

After he spoke, a m.u.f.fled sound swept through the void. It sounded as though it was echoing down through the ages, and it resonated with the Daosource Sect ruins. The sound transformed into an unimaginably vast power that started to force the entire Daosource Sect downwards.

Since ancient times, each of the Six Mainland’s Daosource Sects had stood high above the mainlands, and they were held up by the Sky Pillars.

After the Fifth Mainland had lost the war against the Sixth Mainland, the Fifth Mainland’s Sky Pillar had been converted into Mt. Microcosms, which had become the physical foundation of the Hall of Honor. As for the Daosource Sect ruins, they had been mysteriously moved somewhere in s.p.a.ce and were never seen again. The only way to enter the ruins was with a futon. _{Please visit ｆ???we?ｎ૦???. ?o?}

However, regardless of how the Daosource Sect had disappeared, it had always remained within the Fifth Mainland.

After countless years, the ruins of the Fifth Mainland’s Daosource Sect was finally reappearing at this moment.

For the Fifth Mainland, it had started out as a very ordinary day. The Progenitor of Bloodlines was calmly standing guard at the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea with four Semi-Progenitors. In the Outerverse, the Sixth Mainland’s powerhouses were secretly gathering up futons, while in the eastern weaves, Lu Buzheng was standing guard over Lu Yin as the youth was recovering in seclusion. Ancestor Tortoise’s eyes were occasionally drooping, and the beast kept looking like it was about to fall asleep. Far away, in the Neoverse, Arch-Elder Zen was going through some ancient records, searching for information about the Heavens Sect.

It was a day that should have been perfectly ordinary, but that ordinariness was shattered by a thunderous rumbling that spread into every single corner of the Fifth Mainland. Countless people looked up to see the Daosource Sect ruins descending. It was unbelievably distant, yet it also looked very close.

The ancient piece of jade that Arch-Elder Zen had been carefully reading through turned to ash that drifted away. He stared blankly towards the Innerverse in a complete daze. Is that… the Daosource Sect ruins? How has it returned?

Elsewhere in the Neoverse, in the place where the Seven Courts had once lived, several Semi-Progenitors, including Hen Xin, were shocked by what they sensed, and they all turned to stare into the distance.

"Is that the Daosource Sect ruins?" Xia Ji blurted out.

Ni Huang was startled. "It is. It’s the Fifth Mainland’s Daosource Sect, but why is it suddenly appearing now?"

Hen Xin rose to his feet. Although he looked solemn, for a powerhouse like him who had lived in the ancient era, the Daosource Sect was not something from the distant past. "Let’s go. It’s possible that we’ll find what we need there."

At the pa.s.sage to the Starfall Sea, the Progenitor of Bloodlines stared towards the Innerverse and asked in disbelief, "Is that the ruins of the Fifth Mainland’s Daosource Sect?"

Herb Immortal was similarly startled. "We never even managed to locate the ruins. How is it appearing right now?"

At this same time, countless people were staring at the ruins of the Fifth Mainland’s Daosource Sect. The ruins were clearly close enough to reach out and touch, but in reality, they were unimaginably distant.

The instant the Daosource Sect ruins appeared above the Fifth Mainland, they started to shatter. The mental network that encompa.s.sed the Fifth Mainland was suppressed, and the droplets of liquid began to crazily devour the stellular energy from the ruins.

Inside the ruins, Lu Yin stared upwards at the overlapping sky that had suddenly appeared. He could not understand what was going on, but he was clearly able to sense that the ambient stellular energy was suddenly being sucked away. He quickly took the five suns and stored them in Zenith Mountain and then nervously watched to see what would happen.

The five suns floated above Zenith Mountain, but there was no explosion, or even any sign of destabilization.

Lu Yin released a sigh of relief. He felt like his worries had been nothing but a joke. He quickly sent a warning to everyone on Zenith Mountain: "Everyone, don't get close to the five suns. You can’t blame me if you die from not listening."

Across Zenith Mountain, everyone looked upwards. Were those suns?

There had actually been no need for Lu Yin to warn everyone, as an odd, but oppressive force had appeared along with the five suns. No one would dare to act rashly after sensing such obvious power.

It was clear that those suns were not actual stars, but rather imitations of stars that had been formed by the gathering and condensation of an unbelievable amount of stellular energy. Those orbs held enough destructive power to scare experts with power levels of over a million. A single glance was all it took to leave people shuddering.

Despite trembling, there were still a few people who refused to accept things. "Long Qi, get down here for this princess! Long Qi, this princess wants to fight you! Long Qi-"

Xia Taili kept shouting until her face was flushed. She was so infuriated that she had been captured and imprisoned on Zenith Mountain, not to mention she was never a person with patience.

Lu Yin just ignored the girl.

Still on Zenith Mountain, Xia Taili became even more enraged when she noticed that Lu Yin did not even respond. "You told us not to touch them just because you don’t want us to, but I’m going to do it anyways!"

Even as she spoke, Xia Taili rose up into the sky to touch the five suns floating above Zenith Mountain.

Lu Yin frowned, and his finger twitched as he prepared to deal with the girl.

However, before he could do anything, someone else stopped Xia Taili. She might not fear death, but that was not true for everyone else.

After seeing Xia Taili lose her mind, w.a.n.g Dashuai grabbed a hold of her legs. "Sister, just let it go! We don't want to die yet! That thing obviously isn’t easy to deal with. Sister, just listen to Seventh Bro!"

Xia Taili kicked w.a.n.g Dashuai off of her. "Get lost, you son of a b.i.t.c.h! A princess like me won’t be tricked by some b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Long Qi, if you won’t release me, I’m going to go poke those five pieces of tras.h.!.+"

Several more people appeared, and Xia Taili was struck to the ground. Wen Diyi, Crown Prince Gui Zian, and Long Xi had all attacked.

Wen Yi quietly stated, "Princess Taili, those five suns contain an unpredictable power. If we aren’t careful, all of us will be caught up in the resulting destruction. Calm yourself. None of the rest of us have lost our minds despite being imprisoned for so many years."

Xia Taili glared at him. "Did you just call me crazy?"

Crown Prince Gui Qian spoke in a frosty tone, "I'll disfigure you if you don't listen."

Xia Taili was beyond furious, and she glared at Crown Prince Gui Qian while grinding her teeth. However, she was reminded of what she had seen in the Dominion Realm. Crown Prince Gui Qian was almost as strong as the four Junior Progenitors, and Xia Taili had to admit that she was not his opponent, let alone when he was working with Wen Yi and Long Xi.

Long Xi had moved to stop Xia Taili not because she feared death, but because she did not want Xia Taili to destroy anything that belonged to Lu Yin. Long Xi had found herself viewing Lu Yin as Lu Xiaoxuan more and more, despite the obvious fact that they were two completely different people.

Outside Zenith Mountain, Lu Yin sighed. Even though someone had gone crazy, he was lucky that most of his prisoners were able to still think straight, and some of them had even been proactive enough to stop Xia Taili’s foolishness.

That crazy woman would eventually have to be released. Otherwise, who knew what sort of mad actions she might take. Not to mention, giving more reasons for the Xia family to harbor hatred towards him.

Still, releasing Xia Taili was not a simple decision. Xia Ji had betrayed the Fifth Mainland and turned to join the Perennial World’s Xia family. From the man’s point of view, it was only proper to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the main family. On the other hand, from the perspective of the rest of the Fifth Mainland, Xia Ji had betrayed them. On top of that, with everything that had happened between Xia Ji and Lu Yin, Lu Yin had absolutely no intention of simply letting the past go.

So what if Xia Ji was a Semi-Progenitor? If becoming a one-tribulation or even a two-tribulation Envoy was not enough, then Lu Yin would simply wait until he was a three-tribulation Envoy. Also, Lu Yin had not forgotten about his Timestop s.p.a.ce, and he had already proven his qualifications to stand on a Semi-Progenitors’ battlefield.

After storing Zenith Mountain away, Lu Yin saw that the surrounding Mountains and Seas had cracked and were slowly drifting away from each other. Off in the distance, golden characters flew in every direction. They were the ancient characters from the Scripture Pavilion.

Seeing what was happening, Lu Yin had a horrible suspicion. He quickly looked around, searching for the Nine Cauldrons Region. There were still four cauldrons there that contained cauldron energy, and if they scattered into the void, he had no idea how he was supposed to find them again.

Unfortunately, Lu Yin’s desire to take the last four cauldrons was pointless, as he was already too late. By the time he had thought to look, the last four cauldrons had already fallen away into various parts of the Fifth Mainland, just like the ancient golden characters from the Scripture Pavilion.

The droplets of strange liquid quickly sucked away the remaining stellular energy from the Daosource Sect ruins, leaving Jiu Yao beyond furious. Before he had even had the chance to recover his own stellular energy, all the energy had been stolen from the ruins.
