Chapter 2869: Possession

Soon, Ancestor Lu Yuan returned to the Perennial World.

With what Lu Yuan and the others had accomplished, as well as what Lu Yin had done, things seemed to calm down between humanity and Aeternus. Even the fighting on the Endless Frontier was not as intense as normal. Given the situation, it was Lu Yin’s turn to take action.

He summoned Wei Rong, and once again verified a few details concerning some pawns. With that, Lu Yin announced that he was going into seclusion. He planned to use up the star essence he had just received.

His first target was the Cyclic Universe, which was also the most important target.

After announcing his seclusion, Lu Yin went straight to the Cyclic Universe, where he found an unremarkable location. There, he raised his hand and brought out his die. He tapped it with a finger, hoping for a good result.

Far away, Mu Ke entered the Origin Universe, seeking out Mu Xie and Qing Ping.

“Senior Brother.”

“Senior Brother.”

Mu Ke looked at the two. “Master’s judgement when accepting disciples remains as sharp as ever.”

Mu Xie smiled. “That truth is reflected vividly in you, Senior Brother. You are able to challenge even the Seven Skygods head-on.”

Mu Ke shook his head. “It is only truly reflected in our junior brother.”

“There’s no need to compare ourselves with our junior brother. I believe that even Master himself is amazed at junior brother’s power,” Mu Xie commented.

Mu Ke looked at Qing Ping. “I’m here to take you to the Endless Frontier. With things a bit stabilized there, it’s the perfect opportunity for you to gain some experience and search for the opportunity to break through and become a Progenitor.”

Qing Ping agreed, “It’s time.”

Lu Yin missed this reunion of fellow disciples, as he had not expected Mu Ke to visit the Origin Universe in order to take Qing Ping to the Endless Frontier.

At the moment, Qing Ping was no longer one of the most powerful experts in the Heavens Sect. However, the moment that he broke through again, the fact that he was a Semi-Progenitor Realmbreaker made it difficult to judge just how powerful a Progenitor the man would become.

Mu Ke, Mu Xie, and Qing Ping all possessed enough talent to cause Mister Mu to notice them, but that talent would only be fully expressed once they reached the level of Progenitors.

...

Lu Yin looked at the spinning die as it slowly stopped on Timestop.

His first roll was four pips.

Entering the Timestop Space, Lu Yin increased his time in it to nearly a year, intending to focus on cultivating during this time.

The power system in his chest had almost all of the various energies forming stars in the sky above the continent. Lu Yin was eager to see how his strength would transform once the transformation was completed.

The energies that Lu Yin had cultivated into his own universe included death energy, Destiny’s power, and other energies, but all of them were different from stellular energy. It was very possible that this transformation would not trigger a stellular tribulation, but Lu Yin understood that there could very well be unexpected consequences.

As the scenery changed before his eyes, Lu Yin left his Timestop Space and resumed rolling his die.

Enhance. Lu Yin truly wished to repair the Books of Destiny, but each one needed at least 6 trillion star essence, which meant that repairing all three books would consume nearly half of Lu Yin’s current resources in one go. He could not accept that cost.

Lu Yin resisted the temptation and forced himself to continue rolling the die.

While the most powerful individuals, such as the Great Sovereign, were in seclusion, Lu Yin needed to do something. He had already been encouraged to do so by Ancestor Lu Yuan, so Lu Yin was eager to proceed.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

For Lu Yin’s third roll, his die landed on six pipes: Possession. With hopeful excitement, Lu Yin’s consciousness entered the strange dark space, and he started searching through the orbs of light. All that he saw were dim. At best, the ones he saw belonged to people with the strength of Semi-Progenitors, which was utterly useless to him.

He kept searching, but was unable to find any bright lights.

It was difficult to find anyone with the strength of a Progenitor. There were countless cultivators across the various parallel universes, but very few peak powerhouses. It was a challenge to find even one.

“Arrow Sage” sneered. “How do any of you deserve my respect? You’re nothing but stray dogs.”

“Shut up!” Bai Sheng’s temper snapped, and he clenched his Superior Heavenly Cudgel tightly.

“Arrow Sage” looked up. “What? You want to fight? Once Aeternus withdraws, you actually dare to show disrespect to my Cyclic Universe? Do you really believe that you are the ones who defeated the Aeternals? If you have that ability, then get out of my Cyclic Universe. You are not welcome here.”

Specter Progenitor spoke up in an icy tone, “Arrow Sage, your words are sowing discord between your Cyclic Universe and us. The Great Sovereign won’t let you off.”

“Arrow Sage” did not care. “That depends on whether you stray dogs can even manage to see the Great Sovereign. Forget about you guys, not even Bai Wangyuan and Wang Fan can see her.”

Bai Sheng’s face turned red. This was outrageous. This person was suddenly acting so rudely. As soon as the Aeternals retreated and the Progenitors were no longer needed, did Arrow Sage really want to burn bridges the moment the Sixverse Association had a chance to catch its breath?

Bai Sheng then suddenly thought of a possibility. Since the Origin Universe had become a member of the Sixverse Association, Arrow Sage’s sudden change in attitude felt quite strange. Was this representative of the entire Cyclic Universe? Were the three Progenitors going to be abandoned?

Bai Sheng quickly shared his fears with Xia Qin.

It was impossible to share much with Specter Progenitor, as the man was Wang Fan’s clone. Wang Fan had a very different relationship with the Cyclic Universe than the other two Progenitors.

Bai Sheng’s worries made a great deal of sense to Xia Qin.

Arrow Sage had cooperated with them quite harmoniously in the past. While the man had a cold demeanor, he had been kind. However, his attitude had changed rather drastically, indicating a problem.

Lu Yin watched as Bai Sheng and Xia Qin’s expressions changed, and knew that his goal had been achieved. He ended the Possessionfrom the fusion.

In a certain location in the Cyclic Universe, Lu Yin opened his eyes, frowning. He had indeed seen when Arrow Sage had been bestowed his power by the Great Sovereign, but truthfully, Lu Yin did not understand it. He had felt something, but it had been mysterious and elusive, he didn’t understand, but he felt something—the mysterious and elusive sensation.

During his Semi-Progenitor tribulation, one of Lu Yin’s inner worlds had transformed with Flipping the Sky as the trigger, and when overcoming that tribulation, he had felt something similar.

At the moment when Arrow Sage had received his power, it had seemed as though he had been assisted by the entire Cyclic Universe. It had been a strange and marvelous feeling.

Lu Yin took a deep breath. While he could not understand where Arrow Sage’s bestowed power came from, he had been able to confirm that the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sage truly did receive their power from the Great Sovereign. However, just because they had received their power did not mean that the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages were not true peak powerhouses.

Even before receiving power from the Great Sovereign, Sovereign Shao Yin had already been a peak powerhouse. With his foundation of the power of Extreme Yin, the great Sovereign had bestowed upon Shao Yin even greater power, strengthening him to the point of touching upon the comprehension of sequence particles in one step.

It would be a lie to say that Lu Yin was not envious. If he were capable of similarly bestowing power upon others, restoring the former glory of the Heavens Sect would no longer be a mere dream. Just granting people power equal to the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages would be enough to create many Progenitors.

However, Lu Yin had always felt that there was something wrong with this method.

Aside from gaining this bit of knowledge, unexpectedly, by Possessing Arrow Sage, Lu Yin had been given the opportunity to shout at Bai Sheng and the others. While Lu Yin had no idea what the final outcome might be, he at least knew that he had upset the four ruling powers.

They had believed that by fleeing from the Origin Universe and joining the Cyclic Universe they would escape, but how could Lu Yin let them off so easily?

Lu Yin checked to see how much he had used during that Possession, and groaned.

30 trillion star essence! What an exaggerated amount! The most he had ever used before during a Possession had been just over 2 trillion star essence, and that had been when he had Possessed one of Aeternus’s Twelve Marquises. Just how much had the cost increased?

This was the price of Possessing a Progenitor-level expert, and it was exorbitant.

The gap between a Semi-Progenitor and a Progenitor was truly vast.
