Star Odyssey Chapter 2871: Confidence

Chapter 2871: Confidence

Lu Yin blinked. "So are you saying that I’ve reached the level of the Three Realms and Six Dao?"

Big Sis rolled her eyes and answered in a mocking tone, "Go ahead and dream. I was merely shocked by what you just did. If you want to stand at the same level as the Three Realms and Six Dao, then you need to at least become a Progenitor first. Of course, you’re nowhere near their level right now. Any one of the Three Realms and Six Dao could deal with you in seconds without even needing to attack.”

Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Then what's going on with me?"

Big Sis gave him an odd look. "Who knows? I can't make any sense of your cultivation. Based on what we’re seeing right now, it’s possible that your cultivation is following the same path as the Three Realms and Six Dao. If that’s true, then, Little Seven, you might be overtaking them in one very small aspect."

Lu Yin was speechless. Overtaking them in a small aspect? That was definitely not what it was, or rather, not just that.

If Lu Yin was following the same cultivation path as the Three Realms and Six Dao, then Mister Mu would have understood Lu Yin’s cultivation. However, the universe that Lu Yin was cultivating had surprised Mister Mu, and it seemed to be far more bizarre than anything the Three Realms and Six Dao had ever done.

"Long ago, I helped bury one of the Seven SkyG.o.ds in the Third Mainland. To thank me, that old guy Gu Yizhi shared a few words with me. Do you want to hear them?" Big Sis asked in a tempting manner.

Lu Yin was intrigued. "Of course."

Big Sis thought for a moment. "It's easy to stab someone, but it's not easy to want others to stab you."

The two gazed at each other, neither one speaking.

"That’s all?"

"That’s all."

"Just that one sentence?"

"How much do you want?"

"Then, do you understand that, Big Sis?"

"Bulls.h.i.+t, when did I have time to try to understand that? Right after I was told that, I was tricked by that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Ce w.a.n.gtian, and almost died in the river of time. As soon as I opened my eyes and regained my memories, I was looking at you."

Lu Yin felt embarra.s.sed. "Should I ask Ancestor Lu Yuan?"

Big Sis smiled. "He’s your ancestor, not mine. Go ahead and ask."

Lu Yin smiled. "Alright. I'll tell you what he tells me."

Big Sis felt satisfied, and she gave Lu Yin a look of admiration.

"By the way, Big Sis, have you ever heard of a realm of cultivation beyond the Progenitor realm?" Lu Yin asked again.

Big Sis's eyes flickered. "I have."

Lu Yin stared at her.

"The Origin Progenitor is beyond the Progenitor realm," Big Sis continued.

Lu Yin pressed further, "What is that realm called?"

Big Sis raised a finger. "Origin."

Lu Yin blurted, "The Origin realm?"

"It should be. That’s what I heard from the ancestor of the Mavis family when I was on the Second Mainland. Even though we don’t have a great relations.h.i.+p, I still spoke to her occasionally."

Lu Yin started thinking—the Origin realm? He remembered what he had heard about the Mirary Realm and the nine words that he had been told. “Ascend to the Origin realm. Overcome Dukkha. Gain immortality.” Were those nine words related to this Origin realm?

"Use the power that you just showed me again. I thought of something that I want to try," Big Sis suddenly asked.

Lu Yin released his independent universe again. It had to be said that while Lu Yin’s universe drove back the Origin Universe, the dark depths of the Hollow that appeared was very beautiful, and it shrouded Lu Yin within an absolute darkness.

Big Sis looked up and raised her hands as she released her abyssal power. Lu Yin used Heaven’s Sight and saw that the abyssal power was empowered with sequence particles.

The abyssal power blasted towards Lu Yin.

Lu Yin stared intently. If Big Sis wanted to strike Lu Yin with an attack, she needed to break through his universe that surrounded his body, but before that, she needed to push past the Hollow that separated Lu Yin’s universe from the Origin Universe.

As soon as the abyssal power touched the Hollow, Lu Yin's expression changed. Through Heaven’s Sight he clearly saw that the sequence particles of the abyssal power was being devoured by the Hollow.

Big Sis lowered her hands and let out a breath. "As I expected."

Lu Yin was stunned. "Big Sis, what just happened?"

Big Sis gave Lu Yin a look of envy. "The Hollow gives you a way to block sequence particles. Congratulations, Little Seven. From now on, Sequence Progenitors will only be able to deal minimal damage to you."

Lu Yin's eyes went wide, and he became ecstatic. "Really?"

Big Sis blew out a long breath. "Throughout history, just how many people have managed to become Sequence Progenitors? At best, one Semi-Progenitor out of a hundred can become a Progenitor, and only one out of ten Progenitors can become a Sequence Progenitor. Even then, there are strong and weak Sequence Progenitors. Your sister’s a relatively strong Sequence Progenitor, while Shao Yin is rather weak. Even if he had not been stripped of his power by the Great Sovereign, the damage that his sequence particles could do to you would be negligible if you two fought now.

"I heard that you survived your Semi-Progenitor tribulation by enduring lightning that had sequence particles. Even if someone’s sequence particles are able to break past the Hollow and hit you, the damage that you would suffer will be almost nothing, which is beyond amazing."

Lu Yin had never considered this possibility, that the Hollow that appeared around his own universe to repel the natural universe would also protect him from sequence particles. Even if some sequence particles were able to break through the Hollow and attack him, if he also took out his Wordless Heavenly Book to s.h.i.+eld him further, how much would be left after all of that? Would such an attack even do anything?

When Lu Yin had faced Old Mo, the man’s darkness sequence particles had rendered Lu Yin helpless, and he had been worried about what he would do if he ever faced a Sequence Progenitor again.

Finally, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Big Sis saw Lu Yin visibly relaxing, and she immediately warned him, "Don't underestimate Sequence Progenitors. Anyone who can reach that level is exceptional, and even if they lose their sequence particles, they will still be very powerful. Even if they don’t have access to their sequence particles, they remain very powerful. If I wanted to attack at full power, I could force my way through the Hollow and injure you, or even kill you.

"For anyone as strong as the Seven SkyG.o.ds or the Three Realms and Six Dao, if even a few of their sequence particles manage to force their way through the Hollow, you won’t be able to do anything. You cannot become careless, Little Seven."

Lu Yin nodded. "Don't worry, Big Sis. I’ll be careful."

He would never be able to forget the sight of when Forgotten Ruins G.o.d had attacked him during the Tea Ceremony.

Even a few insignificant sequence particles had been enough to leave Lu Yin completely helpless. After that, the woman had left Lu Yin utterly powerless even without using sequence particles.

Such a powerhouse was among the most powerful in existence.

Compared to the Seven SkyG.o.ds, Lu Yin was still very weak.

Even so, he had climbed up to his current strength one step at a time, and just how old was Lu Yin? In a few more years, after he became a Progenitor and comprehended sequence particles, it would be time for him to face the Seven SkyG.o.ds.

I wonder, what sort of sequence particles will I be able to master by then?

Big Sis repeatedly warned Lu Yin not to be careless. There were too many strange powers in existence, and the Hollow was not all powerful.

In response, Lu Yin repeatedly promised that he would not be careless.

Of course he knew that the Hollow was not omnipotent. Luo Shan had successfully emerged from the Hollow, and Lu Yin had learned that the incident was completely true.

Chen Le had believed the story to be a lie, and many other people also believed that Luo Shan had faked the entire matter. However, Lu Yin had learned the truth from Monarch Mu, and he knew that Luo Shan had really emerged from the Hollow.

The fact that Luo Shan had managed to escape from the Hollow served as proof that it was not omnipotent.

Even so, Lu Yin was quite satisfied. The Hollow and his Wordless Heavenly Book were two measures that could work together to protect him from sequence particles. If Lu Yin faced off against Old Mo again, Lu Yin would not be afraid even if he was singled out.

If Old Mo underestimated Lu Yin, the man would undoubtedly be in for a huge surprise.

Lu Yin returned to the Cyclic Universe and resumed rolling his die.

Half a month pa.s.sed, and Lu Yin finally rolled six pips again. He spent a very long time searching the dark s.p.a.ce for a bright light, but failed to find anything. He was left with no choice but to exit the s.p.a.ce and resume rolling the die.

It took another twenty days for him to manage to roll Possession again.

This time he was a bit desperate, so he kept searching regardless of how long he needed to succeed. No matter how much star essence it cost him, it was still better than trying to rely on luck.

The results did not disappoint him. After spending some time searching, he finally found a bright ball of light, and he quickly merged with it.

When he opened his eyes, he wondered why he was looking at the Wall of Purity again.

However, after considering the matter for a moment, Lu Yin realized that the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages would typically be at the Wall of Purity, or on the Endless Frontier. The only ones who would be found wandering around the Cyclic Universe were likely the Great Sovereign herself and Sage Yajna, who had never taken action.

Lu Yin had hoped to Possess Sage Yajna so that he could learn what the man did with his time.

Wait, I’m Possessing Bai Sheng this time?

Lu Yin took a deep breath and looked back, where he saw Arrow Sage. He had recently Possessed Arrow Sage and had looked at Bai Sheng, while this time, he was Possessing Bai Sheng and looking at Arrow Sage. It was a very odd feeling.

Lu Yin shook his head and stopped thinking about the matter. Since he had Possessed someone, he should examine their valuable memories.

Bai Sheng's memories were not of much use to Lu Yin. The man had been extremely talented since his childhood, and he had cultivated in the Celestial Frost Sect. All along, things had gone very smoothly for Bai Sheng. The only memories of note that Lu Yin found were those related to himself and his family. He even found a memory of his parents’ wedding.

Lu Yin had never spoken with Lu Qi about his mother. He only knew that his mother had died of illness and not due to an enemy.

Once, when stepping onto the Stargazing Deck, Lu Yin had seen his father embracing him, with Lu Yin’s mother standing behind. Bai Sheng's memory provided a much clearer image.

Lu Qi was the heir of the Lu family, and thus his marriage had been a truly significant event in the Perennial World.

On that day, the entire Perennial World had celebrated. Many people had visited the Lu Sanctum to congratulate the family. Bai w.a.n.gyuan and the other Progenitors from what had become the four ruling powers had also attended, wearing fake smiles.

By that time, Bai Sheng had already been a Progenitor, and in the man’s memories, Lu Qi was arrogant, disrespectful, domineering, and a complete scoundrel.

At the time, everyone had said that Lu Yin’s mother had been kidnapped by his father, but after seeing Bai Sheng's memory, Lu Yin's eyes grew red. During their wedding, Lu Yin’s mother had been very happy, and it had clearly been a heartfelt joy.

However, Lu Yin’s mother had not had any talent for cultivation, which had resulted in her dying of illness.

Bai Sheng only had so many memories of Lu Yin’s parents. He had not paid any particular attention to the Lu family and had instead focused on his own cultivation and protecting the Outer Realm from Aeternus.

Bai Sheng had always viewed the Lu family as being worthy of respect, and he had never considered harming them.

From Bai Sheng’s memories, Lu Yin also saw the scene of his family being exiled.

The sky had been filled with rain of red flowers, and Bai Xian'er had been as beautiful as a picture. She had looked up at the Python Ancestor as it rolled over, throwing the entire Lu Sanctum out of the Perennial World.

At that moment, Bai Sheng had felt incredibly torn. He had felt sorry for the Lu family’s fate, but he also had not dared to offend Bai w.a.n.gyuan.

Bai Sheng had not been alone, as Xia Qin, w.a.n.g Jian, and others such as Nong Yi and the Liu family’s Progenitor had all felt the same.

The day of the Lu family’s exile had been a day of celebration for the four ruling powers, but not everyone in the four ruling powers had been happy.

After that day, Bai Sheng had always remained in the Outer Realm, and he had not had any intentions of returning to the Celestial Frost Sect. Even if he visited the sect, he had always returned to the Outer Realm.

Lu Yin's ascension to the Sky Beyond the Sky had coincided with Bai Sheng's visit, which had led to the two meeting atop the Sky Beyond the Sky.

While tightly clenching Bai Sheng’s Superior Heavenly Cudgel, Lu Yin's thoughts grew conflicted.

While Bai Sheng had never thought of harming the Lu family, he was also utterly unable to stand up to Bai w.a.n.gyuan, which had resulted in him obeying Bai w.a.n.gyuan's orders.

Bai Qi had also never wanted to harm the Lu family, but after the Lu family had been exiled, in her mind, the exile needed to be thorough and complete. Bai Sheng had been influenced by Bai w.a.n.gyuan's thoughts, and Bai w.a.n.gyuan had been regarded as a superior power who had always suppressed Bai Sheng and influenced all of his thoughts.

This suppression had been introduced into the man when he had ascended the Sky Beyond the Sky.
