Chapter 3735: Disciple?
There was no logic to Lu Yin’s conclusion. It was just a feeling. The Origin Progenitor should be able to overcome Dukkha. If not, the entire concept of overcoming Dukkha would lose all meaning.
When Lu Yin had first learned what law of the universe the Origin Progenitor cultivated and had felt its nature, he had warned the old man to never reveal it. Despite that, for Lu Yin’s sake, the Origin Progenitor had just exposed himself.
“Just who are you?” the old man gasped as he stared at the Origin Progenitor.
The Origin Progenitor’s wounds swiftly closed as his sequence particles surged endlessly. While the man had not cultivated during the years when he had been suppressing the sequence strings, he had always possessed an incredible amount of sequence particles.
The nine weapons from the Verdant Arsenal circled the Origin Progenitor. “I am this child’s Dao Protector.”
Dao Protector?
The Origin Progenitor looked around. “Don’t go too far. Can you not see whose power this child wields?”
The old man frowned and looked over at Lu Yin. Whose power?
Had anyone else asked this question, he would have ignored them, but even Yue Ya felt the need to pay attention to the Origin Progenitor’s words.
When someone like this expert spoke, it was necessary to pay them heed.
Lu Yin glanced at the Origin Progenitor, and the old man gravely declared, “This child cultivates karma.”
“Greater Sancte Green Lotus?” Yanbo Hongli shrieked.
The other members of Ruler Garden exchanged glances before turning back to stare incredulously at Lu Yin as their suspicions mounted.
The old man’s expression fell. “What exactly are you implying?”
The Origin Progenitor snorted. “By the order of Greater Sancte Green Lotus, I serve as this child’s Dao Protector. In exchange, the Greater Sancte will guide me to overcome my Dukkha and enter the Immortal realm. This child is Greater Sancte Green Lotus’s disciple.
“He needs to experience tempering, but being besieged by so many of you is excessive.”
The old man turned to look at Yue Ya, and the cloud of manifested thought rippled. “Complete nonsense.”
The Origin Progenitor sneered. “Find someone else so young who can cultivate the power of karma.”
The power of karma was real. There was no denying it. Lu Yin had also comprehended it, which caused everyone present to be wary of him. Yanbo Hongli had even pitied the fact that Lu Yin had not been born in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, as he would have likely become Greater Sancte Green Lotus’s disciple. But what were they suddenly hearing? Was he actually the Greater Sancte’s disciple?
Lu Yin calmly stated, “I’ve still not quite gotten there yet.”
The Origin Progenitor looked at Lu Yin and sighed. “It’s already sufficient. Your mastery of karma has reached the necessary level. I can now give an account to Greater Sancte Green Lotus.”
Lu Yin objected. “Only by surviving in the face of death can one fully master karma. I’m still not there yet!”
“You’re such a stubborn child.”
“I will become a Greater Sancte. I will not embarrass my master!”
“What wonderful ambition! Two Greater Sancti from the same line! Should I achieve Immortality as well, there will be three of us! Hahaha!”
“I like the sound of that.”
“I like it even more...”
The people from Ruler Garden just listened to the two men chat, too afraid to make any moves. They could not determine if this was the truth or a lie. Reasonably, everything should be lies, but how else could they explain Lu Yin’s mastery of karma? Throughout the Nine Odysseys Megaverse’s extensive history, countless geniuses had failed to comprehend karma. However, if Lu Yin really was the Greater Sancte’s disciple, then what explanation was there for the fact that he was from the Tianyuan Megaverse?
The old man observed the exchange with growing dread. What if it was true? They would be utterly doomed. Even if Yue Ya achieved the power of an Immortal, Ruler Garden would not be saved.
They were talking about Greater Sancte Green Lotus, the oldest being in the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, an Immortal with unfathomable strength, and someone who had cultivated karma. That’s right...
The old man continued to stare at Lu Yin. “Are you truly Greater Sancte Green Lotus’s disciple?”
Lu Yin coldly replied, “Since it’s already come out, there’s no need to keep it hidden. Yes.”
The old man’s eyes narrowed. “In that case, tell me: what is Greater Sancte Green Lotus’s great power?”
Every eye instantly focused on Lu Yin.
The Origin Progenitor gave Lu Yin a look that expressed his readiness to act. The Origin Progenitor had merely been buying time for them to recover before escaping.
Lu Yin replied, “The Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm.”
The old man’s eyes narrowed further. The ripples in Yue Ya’s cloud of manifested thought grew even more intense.
Lu Yin spoke with absolute confidence.
The Origin Progenitor had been ready to attack, but the expression on the old man’s face left the Origin Progenitor wondering. Surely the brat didn’t guess right, did he?
The Origin Progenitor gave Lu Yin an odd look. Really? Did the brat actually know? But how?
He remembered how Lu Yin had relied on his mirebound artifact to rise up in the Tianyuan Megaverse, Possessing his enemies and viewing their memories. However, Lu Yin had never Possessed anyone from the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, let alone an Immortal like Greater Sancte Green Lotus. This was also not information that any random conscient would know.
Truthfully, Lu Yin was also breathing a bit easier at this moment. It turned out that the person he had seen memories of in the Willbound Spire really was Greater Sancte Green Lotus.
“The Heavenly Karmic Macrocosm is not well known,” Yue Ya retorted. “But you captured Luo Ning. Given his status, it’s no surprise for you to have learned of it from him.”
The old man let out a breath of relief, only to suddenly start in shock. “He captured Luo Ning?”
Yanbo Hongli was similarly startled. Luo Ning had been in cryostasis in the Scion Spire. How could he have been captured in the Consciousness Megaverse?
Lu Yin barked a cold laugh. “You still don’t believe me? Fine.”
He proceeded to raise a hand and draw a picture in front of him. It was the face of a middle-aged man.
Yue Ya instinctively shrank back when he saw the man’s face, and even the Voidheart Mirror dimmed.
The old man’s pupils shrank. Is that Greater Sancte Green Lotus?
Yanbo Hongli and the others were completely confused, as none of them had ever laid eyes on Greater Sancte Green Lotus before.
Lu Yin smiled at the old man. “So? Convinced?”
The old man was trembling as he stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. “Yo- are you really Greater Sancte Green Lotus’s disciple?
“Bu- but how is that possible?”
“How can you be from the Tianyuan Megaverse?” Yue Ya shouted. He refused to accept what he was seeing. This man was his path to becoming a Greater Sancte. How could Lu Yin be Greater Sancte Green Lotus’s disciple? It was simply impossible.
Lu Yin sneered. “Is there any difference between the three megaverses to my master?”
No one could argue with that. Forget Greater Sancte Green Lotus—to everyone at that level, the three megaverses meant nothing. It had always been the Nine Odysseys above and the three megaverses below. It was an eternal truth.
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back as he replied, “My master demonstrated great foresight in sending me to temper myself in the Tianyuan Megaverse. Had I remained in Nine Odysseys, I would have ended up like you.
“The so-called Scion Spire? Nothing but rubbish. They freeze themselves to wait. They simply wait for the position of a Lesser Sancte to open up before they have the courage to compete for it. I’m different. When I return to the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, I will take the title of Lesser Sancte on my own, as no one will be able to stop me.” He glared at Yue Ya. “You’ll be my first target.
“No, you’re not even a Lesser Sancte any longer. You’re less than trash.”
The Origin Progenitor stared at Lu Yin in amazement. You really are a pillar! Your ability to boldly fabricate lies is far beyond even me.
There’s a reason why you’ve come so far, Pillar.
Yanbo Hongli’s eyes blazed. Such dominance! While those in the Scion Spire wait, he will take it for himself. Amazing!
Lu Yin’s gaze swept the area. “All of you.”
The people from Ruler Garden all tensed.
“While you all besieged me, you’ve done well in helping to temper me. Well done. When I return to Nine Odysseys Megaverse, you may follow me.”
The people exchanged looks and started breathing easier. They started to feel grateful.
Compared to Yue Ya, Lu Yin was a much better choice. He had Greater Sancte Green Lotus supporting him and possessed an incredible strength despite his young age. He had even mastered the power of karma. Yue Ya could not compare at all.
This was someone who would become a Lesser Sancte at the very least.
“You are mistaken,” a hoarse voice spoke up.
Lu Yin’s eyes grew cold. It was Old Chief again. “Everyone, this man is certainly not Greater Sancte Green Lotus’s disciple. When entering the Willbound Spire, it is possible to observe memories of the past. This person is also capable of using a mirebound artifact to take control of living creatures. He’s seen the memories of countless conscients who have entered the Willbound Spire. It would not be a surprise for him to have seen Greater Sancte Green Lotus.
“Furthermore, this man originally knew nothing about the cliff within the Willbound Spire, nor of the Scion Spire. How could he possibly be from the Nine Odysseys Megaverse?”
Take control of others’ bodies?
The old man and everyone else believed that they must have misheard. Was that really someone’s ability?
Yue Ya snapped, “Exactly! Everything that he’s said proves nothing! Tell me, what is the name of Greater Sancte Green Lotus’s disciple who slept in the Scion Spire? Where is the Greater Sancte right now?”
Yue Ya cared about nothing except proving that Lu Yin was not Green Lotus’s disciple.
Lu Yin sneered. “You believe a conscient? From the moment the existence of the Nine Odysseys Megaverse was exposed to them, the Spirit Nidus was replaced as the Consciousness Megaverse’s greatest enemy.”
He paused briefly before continuing, “Since you still don’t believe me, I’ll show you Greater Sancte Green Lotus’s power.”
His hand slowly rose up, and dust glowed as it swirled upwards, higher than everyone, until it covered the sky above them.
Yue Ya and the others did not move. Just thinking about Green Lotus was a heavier weight than a mountain. Even if there was only a one in 10,000 chance that Lu Yin really was the Greater Sancte’s disciple, no one would dare to take such a risk.
Cultivators from the Nine Odysseys might possess a second life after externally cultivating their spirit seeds, but that did not mean that they were invincible. They could still die, and the people present were not spirit seeds. Cultivated spirit seeds could not leave the Nine Odysseys Megaverse.
“Stop him! He’s escaping!” Old Chief screamed.
Yue Ya reflexively used his Voidheart Mirror, and its dark-gold light condensed.
Lu Yin released his inner universe, and the star of divine energy spun as red lanterns appeared.
A surge of consciousness attacked from far away as Old Chief lashed out, yet he was still a step behind.
As the lanterns were destroyed, both Yanbo Hongli and Yue Ya were affected. Lu Yin slammed a hand down as his Dust World appeared and then shot upwards, inverting the sky and the earth: Flipping the Sky.
The landmass fell back down, crushing stars.
Lu Yin and the Origin Progenitor fled together.
Suddenly, chains descended from the void: Heaven and Earth Lock.
Lu Yin glared into the distance. Again, Old Chief was interfering. Lu Yin did not have time to settle this score, so he simply reversed time by a second and slipped past the lock.
Yue Ya’s manifested thought crashed down. “So you really aren’t Green Lotus’s disciple? You cannot escape!”
Claws slashed down from up above.
Caught off guard, the claws ripped both Lu Yin and the Origin Progenitor open.
Right at that moment, a beam of light pierced the universe from afar. Everlasting Will.
Everlasting Will continued past Yue Ya and the group from Ruler Garden, continuing on as though to pierce Lu Yin, who caught the attack with a spirit thread. “Senior, go!”
The Origin Progenitor also grabbed hold of the spirit thread.
With the movement of Everlasting Will, Lu Yin and the Origin Progenitor instantly vanished.
Yue Ya erupted with fury. Mo Shang again? How intolerable.
The old man and the others from Ruler Garden were frustrated. Lu Yin had slipped away, and who knew when they would be able to pin him down again.
“What was that just now?”
Yue Ya shouted, “Find them! No matter where they hide, even if it’s in a parallel universe, find them! I refuse to believe that they can hide forever.”
The old man’s face fell. “We’ve already risked everything. My Ruler Garden cannot fail at this juncture. We are with you, Lord Yue Ya. We need your manifested thought to transform.”
Yue Ya readily agreed. The Consciousness Megaverse was his final battlefield. He would either succeed and transform, or he would die. There was no third option, and the same went for Ruler Garden.
To the Nine Odysseys Megaverse, all of them had committed grave crimes. There was no doubt that people were already on their way to deal with the criminals.
