Chapter 2534 – Future Powerhouses

Lu Yin found it strange. "Does that mean that any universe’s battle methods can be combined with the Lost Clan's cards?"

Little Lian chuckled. "That's right. Grandpa Zhi Bing said that there’s no reason for us to be restricted to just a single universe’s methods. After all, we’re here to integrate our civilizations, and the Lost Clan's cards can act as a platform where we can unleash the power of any universe."

"It seems that the battle techniques we’ve received from the Third Rampart aren’t even necessary," Lu Yin remarked.

Little Lian stuck out her tongue as she replied, "I never use them either."

After bidding farewell to Little Lian, Lu Yin continued studying the Cyclic Universe’s star energy. However, he could not find the slightest difference between the two star energies. However, he did discover that he could still use the foreign star energy by adding it to the power system within his chest. That power was a convergence of multiple paths that had been combined into one. After the Cyclic Universe’s star energy made a complete circuit through his unique power system, it could then be absorbed by his stellular energy vortex. This meant that Lu Yin was able to cultivate in the Cyclic Universe.

Had Bai Xian'er gone to the Cyclic Universe to face her Semi-Progenitor stellular tribulation?

It was a pity that Jiang Xiaodao had already gone to the Voidforce School, or else Lu Yin would have gotten more star essence from the man. He wondered if his die could be activated with the Cyclic Universe’s star essence...

One month later, Luo Lao'er sneaked into the Lost Clan School to find “Xuan Qi.”

"What grand underground auction?" Lu Yin asked in confusion.

Luo Lao'er replied, "I knew that you wouldn't have heard anything. Today, someone truly powerful in the Sixverse Association is hosting the biggest underground auction in the history of Cliff Town. I've come to take you there."

"Aren’t the underground auctions restricted to people within a certain area?" Lu Yin questioned.

"That's true for normal auctions, but this one is different. Someone actually contacted me and told me to spread the word, which means that many people already know about it. All of them are all preparing to go, even people from the Central School."

He then leaned in to whisper, "Brother-in-law, do you remember that subhuman woman from the last underground auction?"

Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "I do."

Luo Lao'er continued, "Well, after that auction, everyone was incredibly curious about how a subhuman was brought into the academy. Some people started thinking that she must have been brought in by some powerhouse, while others believe that she was brought in by using special connections, and a few have even brought up the possibility of a cosmic ring that can carry living creatures. Now, an answer’s been given: it’s the third option!"

Lu Yin was surprised. "There’s a cosmic ring that can hold a living person?"

Luo Lao'er shook his head. "It's not a cosmic ring, but a mountain."

Lu Yin's eyes narrowed.

"It's a mountain that can change its size. Selling off that subhuman during the last auction was actually a bit of marketing for this auction. How ruthless is that? I wonder who would be bold enough to play this game? I’m guessing that it's the Sixverse Association itself," Luo Lao'er said.

Lu Yin glanced down at his cosmic ring. A mountain that could hold a living person? Zenith Mountain?

Zenith Mountain had originally been a Sky Pillar, which were the stone pillars that had held up the six Daosource Sects during the Origin Universe’s Heavens Sect era. How could one of the Sky Pillars appear in the Sixverse Association? No, this should be something different.nOVE-lb.1n

"What do you think, Brother-in-law? Are you interested?" Luo Lao'er asked.

Lu Yin nodded and replied, "Lead the way. Let's see for ourselves."

"Alright, then let's go," Luo Lao'er said excitedly.

The environment in the Lost Clan School made Luo Lao'er rather uncomfortable. "Seventh Bro, I’ve heard that you've been doing pretty well in the Lost Clan School. Did you get the best card?"

"It's not bad," Lu Yin replied.

"When are we going to the next school? We should go together," Luo Lao'er suggested.

Lu Yin was surprised. "You’ve already met the Voidforce School’s requirements?"

Luo Lao'er raised his head proudly. "Just about!"

Shi Hong explained, "There’s no way that Xuan Qi's talent won’t attract the attention of the Voidforce Universe’s powerhouses, and there are even rumors that more than one is interested in him. As soon as any one of them takes him under their wing, it’s practically guaranteed that his talent will eventually make him a powerhouse equal to the others on that list.

"Of course, the people that I just mentioned simply have the potential to become powerhouses, but there are also already a few individuals who have almost reached that level despite being about as old as us. Those people are the true monsters, and they would never come to this Sixverse Academy. If they want to learn from other universes, they have no need to come to this place."

Zuo Yu did not understand. "Real monsters?"

Shi Hong did not answer, as Mu Cheng had returned. "Strange, I don't know who those two people with Seruzen are. It's not easy to get close to him."

"Is Seruzen difficult to get along with?" Shi Hong wondered.

Mu Cheng explained, "It's not that he’s difficult to get along with. Rather, it's not easy to get close to him."

The man continued to watch Lu Yin and Luo Lao'er.

People from all around Cliff Town started heading towards a specific area. The size of the crowd quickly grew.

Lu Yin suddenly noticed several people approaching him. Everyone nearby gave the people a wide berth, and it seemed that no one dared to get too close to the approaching people.

Lu Yin paid attention to two of the people. One was wearing a blue and white coat and had longish hair that hung loose upon his shoulders. He had an indifferent expression.

As for the other person, he was wearing a pale golden robe and moved along with his hands clasped behind his back, and he gave off an illusory feeling.

Both of these young men had already left a deep impression on Lu Yin, as they were the two young men who had followed Sage Yuan to the Fifth Mainland.

From Zi Jing, Lu Yin had learned that one of them was named He Shu. Lu Yin had repeatedly heard this name after he entered the Transcendent Universe. He Shu was one of that universe’s greatest geniuses, as well as the brother of that perfect woman. As for the other man, Lu Yin had also learned of his identity. He was Shao Qingfeng, the Cyclic Universe’s genius whose record Lu Yin had surpassed in the Voidforce School.

The two men were both regarded as two of the greatest young geniuses in the entire Sixverse Association. They were also both in the academy’s Central School.

A woman walked in between the two men, and Lu Yin recognized her as Mu Mu, the woman who had fought against Jiang Xiaodao.

"Seventh Bro, I think that that’s Mu Mu," Luo Lao'er said. He was able to recognize the woman because Mu Mu had not changed her mask from the one that she had used during the previous auction.

Pride meant that there were some people who were simply unwilling to hide their identities. In this, Mu Mu and Jiang Xiaodao were no different from each other.

At this moment, Mu Mu and the others also noticed Lu Yin and the other two,. Her expression changed, and she moved a few steps closer to stand in front of Lu Yin's group. "Who are you?"

Lu Yin spoke, "Cliff Town has its own rules, and asking this question means that you’re breaking them."

Mu Mu frowned. "Rules only apply to certain people. Who are you? And why are you with Seruzen?"

Seruzen spoke up, "Mu Mu, you don't need to worry. He's a friend."

Mu Mu felt lost. "You have a friend?"

Seruzen spoke calmly, "I'm willing to make friends. You are also my friend."

Seruzen's words caused the woman’s expression to improve slightly, though she still shot Lu Yin a threatening look. "You'd best not have any ideas about Seruzen, or else an unimaginable fate will await you."

Lu Yin found the threat very odd. The Arboreal Realm truly seemed to value Seruzen highly. Whatever innate gift he had obtained must be truly exceptional.

Shao Qingfeng and He Shu remained standing a short distance away and did not bother approaching. They both looked quite calm.

A large crowd gathered, all of them waiting for the secret auction to begin.

Two hours passed, but there was still no sign of the auction starting.

The auction was supposed to be held through the cliffside, but the passage did not open.
