Chapter 2797: The Dawn Of The Future

The headmaster slowly turned his hand over to let the water from the rain fall out. "Time is extremely elusive, and I don’t even know if it is real or not. I feel the same as you. My constant visits to the Stargazing Deck led me to madness, but yesterday's madness led to the good results of the present. Only by seeing through the universe itself can you have peace of heart. This place suits you very well."

In terms of combat strength, the headmaster was no match for Lu Yin. Despite his unique breakthroughs and alternate cultivation method that made him an extremely powerful Semi-Progenitor, the man still could not compare to Lu Yin's Investiture of the Gods. This was not even taking the fact that Lu Yin possessed the strength to fight Progenitors without outside tools or assistance into account. However, in terms of mental state, Lu Yin could not compare to the headmaster.

This was not just Lu Yin, as even very few Progenitors were the headmaster’s peers in enlightenment.

Throughout human history, how many individuals had been ready to attempt a breakthrough to the Progenitor realm right after becoming a Semi-Progenitor? Who could claim that they could abandon their entire cultivation method, only to use that as a vehicle to make a breakthrough? There had only ever been one person, the headmaster.

Everyone in the Origin Universe cultivated with the most basic energy: star energy. Even the headmaster had been the same, but he had stepped off of that path to blaze a new trail that had never been trodden before, and no one could see where that path led. In this way, the man was the same as Lu Yin.

There was no one to serve as a guide on this path, which meant that it had to be explored alone.

Lu Yin looked at the headmaster in a somber manner. "Headmaster, this student needs your help."

The man calmly looked at Lu Yin. "Tell me."

"If the Heavens Sect faces danger, this student hopes that the headmaster will attempt to become a Progenitor and protect the Heavens Sect and the entire Fifth Mainland," Lu Yin stated, completely serious.

The headmaster laughed., "Are you so confident that I can even become a Progenitor? I’ll be honest with you, I have not opened my three meridian points."

This was a surprise to Lu Yin. Kui Luo was completely certain that the headmaster could become a Progenitor, and he had also said that the normal restrictions that blocked cultivators from becoming Progenitors might not stand in the headmaster’s way. Lu Yin believed that he had been referring to opening the three meridian points, but how was the headmaster supposed to become a Progenitor without taking that particular step? No one had ever managed to become a Progenitor without opening their three meridian points since the ancient era.

"Can you break through, Headmaster?" Lu Yin asked bluntly.

The man gave a small smile. "What do you think?"

"You can."

"Why do you say that?"

"Intuition."

"Lu Yin, have you graduated?"

This sudden question caught Lu Yin off guard, but he still immediately answered, "No."

The headmaster clasped his hands behind his back. "Since you haven't graduated, as headmaster, I still have the responsibility to teach you."

Lu Yin solemnly gave the man a slow bow. "Please guide me, Headmaster."

The older man stared off into the distance. "Why do the three meridian points need to be opened for a person to become a Progenitor?

"Doing so allows a Semi-Progenitor’s inner world to transform by granting them the vitality needed to create a Progenitor’s world that can alter the universe.

"In that case, if it is possible to transform an inner world independently, would it still be necessary to open the three meridian points?"

Lu Yin stared at the headmaster in shock. "Is it necessary to open the three meridian points?"

Of course it was necessary! How was this even a question?

Throughout known history, everyone who had successfully become a Progenitor had opened their three meridian points. This was a requirement that had never changed. Only with Origin Matter could an inner world be transformed into a Progenitor’s world, granting it life and giving birth to various existences that lived in that Progenitor’s world like true living creatures.

This transformation was what made it possible for a Progenitor’s world to alter the universe itself, but the headmaster seemed to regard it as unimportant.

The man lifted his head and stared out at the endless rain. "The process doesn’t matter, as long as the results are achieved.

"I use human experience to refine my heart, which serves as my inner world. This means that those experiences can become a Progenitor’s world. I am worldly, and the worldly life is me. As long as the worldly affairs remain intact I remain unchanged.

"Tell me, are worldly affairs greater than Origin Matter? Are they greater than that vitality?"

Lu Yin's mind was in turmoil. I am worldly, and the worldly life is me? Is this the path that the headmaster will take to become a Progenitor?

The man had experienced madness and achieved enlightenment, finding his own unique path to become a Progenitor in the process. He was not following the footsteps of his predecessors, but rather making his own path. This was the true path to become a Progenitor.

Dao Monarch Gu had developed the method of cultivating battleforce, which would grant a human body the physical strength of a Progenitor. The God of Death had created death energy, and Destiny had learned how to see the past and future. Which of those ancient powerhouses had not created their own path?

The headmaster was doing the same for himself.

Lu Yin bowed low to the headmaster. "This student understands. Thank you, Headmaster, for your guidance."

The older man replied, "As I just said, Lu Yin, your universe is truly wonderful. I hope that you can also walk a path never before seen in all of history."

The man finally turned to look at Lu Yin. "I will pave the way for you.”

Lu Yin was truly grateful to the man.

Astral-10 had served the role of guiding Lu Yin and teaching him a great number of things when he had first started cultivating. Even after so long, when he was about to break through to the Semi-Progenitor level, the academy still provided him with guidance. This was the Astral Combat Academy, his alma mater, and also his home.

He suspected that, whenever the headmaster did become a Progenitor, he would gain a level of strength beyond imagination.

After leaving Astral-10, Lu Yin thought about Big Sis and wondered how she had been doing. When would she regain the strength of Progenitor Yōu Ming?

He quickly made a call, but ended up connecting to Highsage Leon instead of Big Sis.

"Qingqing is in seclusion." Highsage Leon's thunderous voice rang in Lu Yin's ears.

Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "Seclusion?"

Highsage Leon grinned. "She just went in. I wanted to call you, kid, since she left you a message."

There was a pause. "When I emerge from seclusion, I will help you sweep the four ruling powers away."

Lu Yin laughed. "That sounds like what Big Sis would say!"

"Bullshit! How would I lie to you? You don't need to worry about those shitty four ruling powers. Just leave them to her. She can't wait to stand up to defend you." Highsage Leon was truly happy.

Lu Yin was smiling. "It’d be better if she waits for me to get back. I’ve set up my own plans for the four ruling powers. Captain, don't let her be impulsive and ruin my plans."

"Got it! I'll hold her back for you," Highsage Leon said with a laugh.

Lu Yin ended the call, a smile on his face. Were they both going to break through at nearly the same time?

There was no need to even mention Third Uncle and the other gatemasters from the Heavens Sect era. Each of them could break through at any moment. Instead, Lu Yin was excited about the others, such as the headmaster, Kui Luo, Big Sis, and even the Ghost Monkey. Every last one of them could break through at any time, and if all of them succeeded in becoming Progenitors, just how many powerhouses would the Heavens Sect gain? Lu Yin did not dare to even think about it.

At the moment, the Sixverse Association was not at all concerned about the Heavens Sect, but that was because too many of the Heavens Sect’s experts were only Semi-Progenitors, and it was incredibly difficult for anyone to reach the Progenitor realm. However, the Sixverse Association had no idea how many Semi-Progenitors were merely waiting for the right opportunity.

Lu Yin was actually quite happy that so many of the Semi-Progenitors had not yet broken through to become Progenitors, as it prevented the Sixverse Association from seeing the Fifth Mainland as a threat.

When the day came and multiple people became Progenitors one after the other, the Heavens Sect would dazzle the Sixverse Association. On that day, no outsider would dare to offend the Heavens Sect.

In the Origin Universe, after its peak, the Heavens Sect had declined before ultimately falling apart entirely. Lu Yin wanted to restore that former glory and carry the Origin Universe back to the peak. Once again, it would be led by the Heavens Sect.

In the past, the Heavens Sect had had the Three Realms Six Dao, as well as the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas and the Twelve Heavenly Gates. It might be impossible for the modern Heavens Sect to match that same power.

Lu Yin took a deep breath. He just needed to be patient and wait. He needed to wait for others to break through to the Progenitor realm. Wait for himself to break through and become a Semi-Progenitor, as well as a Progenitor. He also needed to wait for the Lu family to return.

The Origin Universe would soon be completely transformed.

The quieter things were, the more glorious the transformation. That day was inevitable

Lu Yin returned to the Heavens Sect, and the Ghost Monkey quickly sought him out to make a report.

"Seventh Bro, I found some humanoid sourceboxes. Just like you thought, people have been secretly collecting them."

Lu Yin's eyes lit up. He had almost forgotten about the task that he had given the monkey. The Ghost Monkey could be considered half of the reincarnated Progenitor Wushang, and there was a good chance that he would eventually becoming a Progenitor.

The Ghost Monkey continued to speak about what he had accomplished, but when he saw Lu Yin’s stern stare, the Ghost Monkey instantly retreated a few steps in panic. "Se- Seventh Bro, why are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Yin asked, "Monkey, can you become a Progenitor?"

The Ghost Monkey blinked, and then lifted his head high. "I don’t have any Origin Matter."

"Get lost."

Lu Yin was speechless. After all of the Ghost Monkey’s boasting, he had just been blowing hot air, as he had never acquired any Origin Matter. Actually, how could the Ghost Monkey have ever obtained some for himself?

In fact, it was time for Lu Yin to make a visit to the Dominion Realm to pick some up. None of the four ruling powers were lacking Origin Matter.

Also, if it proved impossible to find any, Lu Yin could just take some from Xia Shenji.

The Fifth Mainland had many geniuses that could not be allowed to fail because they did not have the resources to unlock their full potential.

The Ghost Monkey licked his lips and smiled. "Seventh Bro, the humanoid sourceboxes have been secretly collected by the Celestial Demons. I could smell them."

Lu Yin replied, "Summon Yao Di for me."

"Sure thing."

A heaviness entered Lu Yin's eyes. Had the Celestial Demons been collecting the humanoid sourceboxes? They must be hoping to resurrect Wilderness God by unsealing the humanoid sourceboxes.

In fact, that was not only true of Yao Di, but also of Skymender.

The lie that they had fed Lu Yin was impossible to see through, and they had given off an impression of abandoning their efforts to collect the humanoid sourceboxes. If not for a random coincidence that had allowed the Ghost Monkey to obtain some of Progenitor Wushang’s memories, Lu Yin would have completely disregarded the two astral beasts’ activities. However, if they continued collecting humanoid sourceboxes, then there was a very real chance that they would eventually be able to bring back Wilderness God.

Wilderness God had been one of the Three Realms Six Dao during the Heavens Sect era. He had been one of Ancestor Lu Yuan’s peers, which indicated that he had an earth-shattering level of power that had been enough to cow an entire Mainland. Just the mere thought of such power was enough to understand how terrifying Wilderness God had been.

Once Wilderness God appeared, who could stop him? The only hope was the Lu family’s return. If that happened, even the Great Sovereign would have a headache.

The two culprits, Yao Di and Skymender, had hidden their efforts extremely well.

When Lu Yin and Bai Wangyuan had agreed upon a truce, the Fifth Mainland had sent people to defend the fourth array base of Ceaseless Impetus. Despite all that had happened after that, once the Time Poison was eliminated from the Fifth Mainland, Yao Di and many others had returned to protect the fourth array base.

However, that was no longer necessary. The Heavens Sect and the four ruling powers were openly at odds with each other, and Lu Yin had even visited the Perennial World to give a demonstration of his own strength. All of the Heavens Sect’s people had been recalled from the rear battlefield.

This was why Yao Di was already in the Heavens Sect, as he was not allowed to leave without Lu Yin's permission.

It was not long before Yao Di asked for an audience with Lu Yin.

Lu Yin received the astral beast not at his mountain behind the Heavens Sect, but rather in the main hall.

This was where the Heavens Sect received outsiders. Yao Di arrived at the entrance and stared at the Second Nightking and Attendant Wu standing at attention outside and gave a small frown. The overall atmosphere felt a bit off.

"Please, Gatemaster Yao Di." The Ghost Monkey gave an odd smile.

Yao Di had been made the gatemaster of the Heavens Sect's Beast Heavenly Gate. Despite conquering the Astral Beast Domain, Lu Yin had not slaughtered the astral beasts. Even during the greatest heights of the Heavens Sect's glory, there had been astral beasts on the Fourth Mainland, where Wilderness God had been the Dao Monarch. In the modern era, the Heavens Sect was attempting to both subdue and win over the astral beasts, and the Beast Heavenly Gate was what Lu Yin had offered to the Astral Beast Domain.

Yao Di walked into the main hall, where he saw Lu Yin and Leng Qing chatting.

The former Demon Emperor had assumed that he would only be meeting with Lu Yin.

Lu Yin looked over at the approaching Yao Di and smiled at him. "We were just talking about the Celestial Beast Empire, so Gatemaster Yao Di might as well come over and join us."
