Chapter 1939: Waiting

Chapter 1886: Waiting

There was a hand floating in the sky. It was the home of the Wang family.

Wang Si’s eyes cracked open. They were filled with a powerful fear and disbelief. “Throughout all of time, only very rarely has the Mother Tree ever reacted. He has to die! That child must be eliminated! If he is not killed, we will face a calamity!”

She quickly looked up and dropped to her knees. “Ancestor, my Wang family cannot be destroyed by this child! Ancestor…”

Bai Teng was the master of the Celestial Frost Sect, and his eyes turned vicious as he looked at the overlapping images. “He truly is a genius if he is able to make the Mother Tree tremble and cause space to overlap so that his image appears here from that place. Unfortunately for him, he cannot be allowed to live. Our Progenitor has decided to take care of this matter himself, and when he goes to the Forsaken Land, no one can save you! The more impressive and talented you are, the sooner you will die! Shaohong will soon be avenged.”

At this time, a pair of eyes appeared behind Lu Yin. They were cloudy eyes that clearly belonged to an old man, but they also contained an unmatched dignity.

The appearance of these eyes caused Bai Teng’s pupils to shrink—a Progenitor?

Wang Si, Long Ke, and everyone else in the Perennial World who was looking at this scene felt similarly shocked. Only a Progenitor could cause them to feel such pressure. Was there a Progenitor supporting Lu Yin?

Bai Teng’s expression grew ugly, and he punched the ground. How could there be a Progenitor in the Forsaken Land helping that child? This meant that even if the Celestial Frost Sect’s Progenitor went to the Forsaken Land, it would be pointless.

“Sect Master, that Lu bastard is being protected by a Progenitor. Agree to Wang Si’s request to conquer the Forsaken Land,” a voice said to Bai Teng.

Bai Teng’s eyes flickered. This could work. Even if it would be inconvenient for a Progenitor to personally make a move, conquering the Forsaken Land would still ultimately result in the youth’s death. In that case, they absolutely had to conquer the Forsaken Land! They must water its grounds with blood and bury it with Shaohong!

Lu Yin was no longer staring at the Higher Realm. He had noticed the pair of eyes that were calmly staring at him. These eyes could not have been any more familiar to Lu Yin as he often saw them whenever he slept or lost consciousness. A burning killing intent rose up within Lu Yin. It nearly overwhelmed him, and he barely held himself back from saying, “Bold!”

The eyes that Lu Yin were staring at were devoid of all emotion. They were the coldest and most terrifying eyes that he had ever seen.

Before long, the overlapping space began to disappear.

Lu Yin stared into the eyes and lifted his right hand. It opened and then squeezed tight in a gesture that looked as if Lu Yin was grabbing the entire Perennial World. He then turned his hand over, pressed it down, and spoke a single word. “Wait.”

He was speaking to the owner of the eyes, but also to the entire Perennial World. He was stirring up the entire Perennial World and provoking the four ruling powers.

As the overlapping space disappeared, the Perennial World began to boil. Lu Yin’s antagonizing appearance had been etched into everyone’s minds. Innumerable people started to shout and curse, and just as many grew excited. There were people who wanted to kill Lu Yin while others celebrated the return of the Lu family. Peace had left the Perennial World.

…

“That was that place.” A hoarse voice spoke up from behind Lu Yin. He dropped his hand and spun around, startled. An old man had appeared behind Lu Yin at some point in time, but he was merely gazing at Lu Yin with a smile on his face.

Lu Yin had not noticed the old man’s presence in the slightest, but with the tree of phenomenon gone, Lu Yin was suddenly able to sense the old man’s unfathomable power.

“Progenitor?” Lu Yin said. He could feel the strength of a Progenitor. He had sensed this kind of strength several times before, and he could feel it from this old man as well.

The old man nodded as he looked at Lu Yin with open admiration. “This old man is Xue Manzi.”

Xue Manzi? Lu Yin blinked. “The Progenitor of Bloodlines?”

The old man smiled. “Xue Manzi is my name. You can call me the Progenitor of Bloodlines if you prefer. It’s your choice.”

This old man really was a Progenitor! Lu Yin suppressed his shock and slowly bowed. “This junior is Lu Yin. I greet the Progenitor of Bloodlines.”

The Progenitor of Bloodlines gazed at Lu Yin with a bit of surprise. “Were you the one who caused the change in the true universe? How did you do so?”

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. How was he supposed to answer that question? This old man was a Progenitor, and even if Lu Yin believed that the Sixth Mainland’s Progenitors were greatly inferior to Progenitor Chen, they were still Progenitors. He was one of the Progenitors who had changed the Fifth Mainland’s sky and suppressed the Fifth Mainland. Could Lu Yin lie? Could he get away with such a thing? On the other hand, it was absolutely impossible for Lu Yin to answer truthfully.

He had no idea what response to give.

The Progenitor of Bloodlines spoke up once again. “Everyone has their own secrets. If you don’t wish to say, you don’t need to.”

“Thank you, Senior Progenitor of Bloodlines.” Lu Yin felt like letting out a sigh of relief. He had just escaped a catastrophe.

The Progenitor of Bloodlines continued to say, “The phenomenon from your breakthrough caused the true universe to churn, and it even incited the Mother Tree. Child, you are very impressive.”

Lu Yin quickly bowed again. “This junior has merely been lucky. I don’t deserve to be praised by the Progenitor of Bloodlines.”

The Progenitor of Bloodlines smiled. “No need to be so afraid. I’m not Jiu Xiang, and even if he hates the Fifth Mainland, he wouldn’t act against a junior like you.”

Lu Yin gave a wry smile. He could do nothing at all against a Progenitor, but he also could not help but wonder if the Progenitor of Bloodlines had watched as Lu Yin used the corpse to block the stellular tribulation.

“Did you see Zhi Yi in that place?” Xue Manzi asked while staring at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin answered quickly, “No. I swear that I never saw Zhi Yi.”

The old man sighed. “It would seem that I am destined to never see that child again.”

Lu Yin truly had never seen Zhi Yi in the Perennial World. He knew that the top ten finalists of ZENITH had been sent there, but he had never seen Zhi Yi or Liquor Hero. He had only ever seen Qiu Shi from a distance, and she had been trapped in a golden wheat field in Seed Garden.

“Child, would you like to become this old man’s disciple?” Xue Manzi suddenly asked while smiling at Lu Yin.

The question startled Lu Yin, but he quickly replied, “This junior has already accepted a master, and he has taken good care of me. When I was first accepted as a disciple, I swore that I would only ever have a single master in my life, so I must refuse your kindness, Senior.”

The Progenitor of Bloodlines found this quite amusing. “That’s your choice.”

Suddenly, the man’s expression changed, and he disappeared.

Lu Yin let out a sigh of relief when he saw the Progenitor of Bloodlines leave.

Even though the Progenitor of Bloodlines had never used his strength as a Progenitor to suppress Lu Yin, it was still too stressful to speak with a Progenitor.

Also, such an offer was truly tempting. Zhi Yi had already offered to help Lu Yin ask to become the Progenitor of Bloodlines’ disciple, but he had refused her as well. No matter what, Lu Yin’s master was Mister Mu, and Mister Mu was definitely a Progenitor. Though, Lu Yin had no idea just how powerful his master was. Still, he should at least be more powerful than the Progenitor of Bloodlines!

The disappearance of the tree phenomenon indicated that Lu Yin’s stellular tribulation had ended. He had finally become an Envoy.

However, a key difference between Lu Yin and other Envoys was that Lu Yin had four stellular energy vortices, three of which were hidden within his meridian points. He had no idea if anyone else had ever done such a thing before, but he thought that it was highly unlikely.

When he recalled the power of the stellular tribulation’s last attack, a flicker of fear flashed through Lu Yin once again. Forget him, even a top expert with a power level of a million would most likely not have been able to survive that attack. It had clearly not been a stellular tribulation, but rather a punishment.

In that case, how had Lu Yin managed to survive the attack with the help of the corpse? Lu Yin’s mind started to churn.

Lan Xian and Master Qing Hua both appeared from the west while Jiu Shen and the Second Nightking appeared from the south. Xu Qing and the Celestial Demon arrived from the north, and more and more powerhouses began to appear in front of Lu Yin.

Everyone stared at him oddly, though also with amazement. They were all trying to understand what had happened to him.

They had all been shocked to see the stellular tribulation manifest Progenitor Chen to fight against Lu Yin, but after that, his absorption of stellular energy had triggered a reaction from the true universe, which had then incited a phenomenon and brought over the Progenitor of Bloodlines to investigate. Everyone wanted to find out what had happened, but they were also too scared to approach Lu Yin. They were still afraid of what they had witnessed, and who knew if Lu Yin had undergone any changes.

Lan Xian was the first to speak up. Her eyes glittered as she stared at Lu Yin. She looked as though she was seeing a peerless treasure. “Greetings, leader of the Great Eastern Alliance.”

Lu Yin frowned as he faced Lan Xian. He had no idea how to treat this woman or how to act around her. She had every temptation that a man could ever dream of: a bewitching voice, a stunning figure, enchanting music, and eyes that could capture one’s soul. However, she was also a Semi-Progenitor, and she had arrived at the battlefield with the intention of using the Great Eastern Alliance’s forces as cannon fodder in the war against the Astral Beast Domain. To that end, she had taken control of the entire army with her three-stringed instrument.

She would have succeeded too, if not for the Origin Progenitor’s Sutra.

Logically, she should be an enemy of both the Great Eastern Alliance and Lu Yin. Even if she was not an enemy, she was clearly not an ally. Despite that, she had saved Lu Yin from being cut down by Sword King’s first attack, and she had done so completely unprompted.

Lu Yin had not expected to receive the woman’s assistance at that time, and yet she had saved him.

She was an enemy, yet also not. A savior, yet not that either. Lu Yin felt all kinds of conflicting emotions as he stared at Lan Xian. In the end, this woman was a Semi-Progenitor, and he needed to show her due respect. He finally answered in a low voice, “I greet Semi-Progenitor Lan Xian.”

Everyone on the battlefield had already felt Lan Xian’s power, and it could be said that she could decide the fate of everyone present.

The Void Wanderer elder had been able to stand up to Lan Xian after donning its piece of Progenitor Wushang’s hide, but it had eventually fled. No one on the battlefield could compare to Lan Xian.

“Was that the Progenitor of Bloodlines who was here just now?” Lan Xian asked.

Everyone instantly grew serious as they stared at Lu Yin. The Progenitor of Bloodlines was a powerhouse who surpassed everyone and everything in the current Fifth Mainland, and he was also currently protecting the Fifth Mainland from being invaded by the Aeternals. Everyone respected the man, and that included the enemy, this was the respect given for any human who reached the apex of cultivation.

Lu Yin nodded. “The Progenitor of Bloodlines was here, but he has already left.”

“Did he say anything to you?” Lan Xian was curious.

Lu Yin fell silent for a moment. “He wanted me to become his disciple.”

Everyone was stunned.

“He wanted you as his disciple?” Xu Qing shouted in disbelief, as well as overwhelming fear and rage.

Lu Yin looked at the astral beast general and nodded. “Yes, he wanted me to become his disciple.”

“So? Are you now the Progenitor of Bloodlines’ disciple?” Xu Qing asked anxiously.

Lu Yin pursed his lips. “Not yet. There was an emergency, and he had to leave, but he’ll be back to speak with me.”

Xu Qing’s eye twitched. The Progenitor of Bloodlines’ disciple? Really, a disciple? Is Lu Yin a Progenitor’s disciple now?

If Lu Yin really did become the Progenitor of Bloodlines’ disciple, the situation would become very tricky for the Astral Beast Domain, and they would no longer be allowed to kill Lu Yin. If he died, there was no telling how the Progenitor of Bloodlines would retaliate against the Astral Beast Domain.

The Astral Beast Domain was daring enough to go to war against the Sixth Mainland, but just the thought of facing a Progenitor was enough to leave all the astral beasts trembling in fear.

“Are you really going to become the Progenitor of Bloodlines’ disciple?” The Celestial Demon pressed.

Lu Yin looked over. “What? Do I not qualify?”

There was no one present, not even Semi-Progenitor Lan Xian, who could claim that Lu Yin was unworthy of such an honor. Even if Lan Xian could not qualify, Lu Yin could. After all, Lu Yin had defeated the invincible Progenitor Chen while at the same cultivation level. After that, he had become an Envoy by triggering a phenomenon. Such a person becoming a Progenitor’s disciple could only be expected.

In fact, it would be more strange if such an exceptional person did not become the disciple of a Progenitor.

Xu Qing never questioned Lu Yin’s qualifications. Why else would the Progenitor of Bloodlines have come? The only answer was to take Lu Yin in as a disciple. Lu Yin’s talent had reached a level where even Progenitors needed to pay attention to him.

Lu Yin looked away. He had technically only spoken the truth, as the Progenitor of Bloodlines had asked Lu Yin to become a disciple. The only detail that Lu Yin had left out was that he had denied the request. However, there was no need to mention that last bit to the people before him.
