Chapter 2734: Return
Lu Yin stomped a foot down. "Shut up!"Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
The jiao looked as though it had been wronged.
"Brother Lu, your mount is quite impressive." Chu Jian was still admiring the jiao.
Lu Yin casually responded, "Well, I don't think it's that great. Its too stupid."
Chu Jian continued to observe the jiao, evaluating it. "Brother Lu, Master's tea ceremony is quickly approaching. You should attend."
"If I don't die on the Endless Frontier, I will do so."
Chu Jian commented, "I dont believe that Brother Lu will die so easily. Given your ability to face off against even peak powerhouses, you should be able to survive your encounters on the Endless Frontier. I look forward to seeing you at the tea ceremony. Also, you should take the jiao with you and give it to Master. Master will quite like it.
This was not the first time that Lu Yin had heard this, as Sage Yuan had also told Lu Yin that he should offer the jiao as a gift to the Great Sovereign.
Lu Yin smiled. "Very well, Ill see you at the tea ceremony."
Chu Jian nodded. "I'll see you there. I hope that you can join the Endless Frontier within three days and that you wont make things difficult for me.
"Also, Master sent another order: half of the Origin Universes peak powerhouses are required to help protect the Sixverse Association. The four ruling powers are already sending four of their people. What about you, Brother Lu?"
Lu Yin replied with a question of his own, "While I am on the Endless Frontier, if the Origin Universe is required to send powerhouses to reinforce the Sixverse Association, will anyone target my Heavens Sect?"
Chu Jian smiled. "You neednt worry about that. Brother Lu. Master has personally declared that no one can enter the Origin Universe without permission. Your Heavens Sect will not face any threats from the Sixverse Association, though that does not mean that it will be protected from others in your own Origin Universe."
Lu Yin hesitated.
"The jiao will count as one powerhouse!" Chu Jian declared. "However, it needs to attend Master's tea ceremony, so it can only help defend the Sixverse Association after that. That leaves one more peak powerhouse who needs to be sent. Ill leave that choice up to you, Brother Lu."
With that, Chu Jian left.
Lu Yin stared at the suddenly empty space. The Fifth Mainlands crisis had finally been resolved.
With the passage open, it was impossible for Sovereign Shao Yin to force the Origin Universe to join the Endless Frontier. Because of the dispute that had resulted from opening the passage, both Luo Shan and Lu Yin were being punished and sent to the Endless Frontier, which showed the Great Sovereigns position on the matter.
Was there anyone in the Sixverse Association who would still target the Heavens Sect?
Unfortunately, just because there was no threat from other universes, that did not mean that Lu Yin could lower his guard towards the four ruling powers.
Half of their Progenitors were being sent to reinforce the Sixverse Association, which left them with no more than three or four Progenitors. Even if Lu Yin asked Arch-Elder Zen to assist the Sixverse Association, Senior Brother Mu Xie, the jiao, Master Shan, and Cloudflow would still stay behind to protect the Heavens Sect. As for Progenitor Smoke, there was no telling how the woman would act. Balance could indeed be maintained.
Furthermore, the four ruling powers would not dare to start a war without prior authorization after this lesson from what had happened with Lu Yin and Luo Shan.
In the end, the situation had not devolved into all-out war, though hostilities would eventually reignite.
Sovereign Shao Yin was the instigator of the entire crisis, and thinking of the man caused killing intent to fill Lu Yins eyes. The Sovereign was even more despicable than that old dog Sage Yuan.
It should not be a big problem for Lu Yin to protect himself during his time on the Endless Frontier, as the Aeternals had no intention of killing him. However, things became a bit tricky when Lu Yin considered his alias of Xuan Qi. That identity could only stay in seclusion for so long.
As Lu Yin considered matters, Bai Wangyuan and several others crossed through the spatial passage and returned to the Fifth Mainland.
Everyone stared at Lu Yin, who met their gazes. All of them remained silent.
At this time, Mu Xie, Nong Yi, and Progenitor Smoke all arrived as well.
Xia Shenji shot Nong Yi a cold look. "You will be heading out to help protect the Sixverse Association."
Nong Yi was terribly confused. "What is a Sixverse Association, and why am I protecting it?"
Specter Progenitor shared a few details, which caused Nong Yi to instantly blow up. He refused to go.
However, he was threatened by Bai Wangyuan and the four ruling powers other Progenitors. Progenitor Nong wanted to ask Lu Yin for help, but Lu Yin could not offer any assistance. Half of the four ruling powers Progenitors were also going, and Lu Yin needed to send some powerhouses himself. If Nong Yi did not go, Mu Xie would be forced to do so.
It was impossible to force the four ruling powers to send any additional Progenitors, just as it was impossible for them to force Lu Yin to send more people.
"Where's Long Er?" Progenitor Smoke suddenly asked, causing Bai Wangyuan and others expressions to contort.
Bai Wangyuan felt increasingly stressed about the matter. Wang Fan was correct, but if Lu Yin did the unbelievable and drew the Great Sovereigns wrath, they did not want to risk being punished alongside Lu Yin.
The truth was that Lu Yin did not need to send anyone at all. Chu Jian had mentioned that the jiao counted as one Progenitor and that it would only be required to take action after the Great Sovereigns tea ceremony. As for the second Progenitor, Progenitor Smoke had already volunteered, which settled the matter for Lu Yins side. All he needed to concern himself with was getting to the Endless Frontier within three days time.
Lu Yin also had absolutely no intention of revealing any of this to the four ruling powers, as he preferred to keep them guessing. If they got scared, it would be even better if they ended up sending one more Progenitor.
There was nothing wrong with protecting the Sixverse Association, and if the four ruling powers had one less Progenitor, then the Heavens Sect would be in even less danger.
Lu Yin had planned to ask Arch-Elder Zen to go and assist the Sixverse Association, but Progenitor Smoke had volunteered, which preserved another Progenitor for the Heavens Sect. With this, Lu Yin no longer feared the four ruling powers trying to take action against the Heavens Sect, as even without Lu Yin, there were enough powerhouses to protect the Heavens Sect from the four ruling powers.
With those matters settled, what should he do with the strange eye?
Keeping the eye to study on his own was pointless. Progenitor Long had tossed the eye away just before his death, which suggested that the only place where he could learn more about the eye was the White Dragon Clan.
This thought caused Lu Yin to stare off into the distance. It was time to return to the White Dragon Clan.
After Long Xi used the blood essence to improve her cultivation, Lu Yin had imprisoned her for many years within Zenith Mountain, and he wanted to repay her for that.
Three days was enough time to make the visit.
It had been several years since the Aeternals had completely abandoned the Perennial World, and during that time, the Perennial World had developed extremely quickly.
Lu Yin unleashed his domain, finding that there were more cultivators than he remembered, as well as more smiling faces.
Unfortunately, this was just on the surface. Without the threat of Aeternus, humanity would have more internal conflicts, and the number of fights and wars would not be much less than in the past.
It had always been difficult for people to enter the Perennial World from the Fifth Mainland. It had started becoming a real problem when the Time Poison had appeared and had only gotten worse since then. This would continue until one side finally conquered the other.
Lu Yin made no attempt to hide his arrival in the Perennial World.
He soon appeared in the mountain valley beneath the Wang familys floating continent, as it was the only entry to the Perennial World from the Fifth Mainland.
He rode upon the jiao, and it brandished its teeth and claws as it released a roar that echoed far into the distance.
All of the Perennial Worlds cultivators stared blankly for a moment before many grew extremely excited. "It's Lu Yin! The one who helped us defeat Aeternus! Lu Yin!"
"Dao Monarch Lu! Dao Monarch Lu!"
"Greetings, Dao Monarch Lu."
"Blessings upon you, Dao Monarch Lu."
"Dao Monarch Lu is invincible!"
Lu Yin had not expected to still be so popular in the Perennial World, but much of what he had done could not be concealed by the four ruling powers, even if they were his enemies.
There was no way for them to refute the fact that Lu Yin was the vanguard that had led the charge that had resulted in the Aeternals defeat, nor that he had paid a steep price in doing so. People were not stupid, and they knew better than to believe everything the four ruling powers said.
Even so, most of the people that Lu Yin could see were cultivators who were part of the four ruling powers, so even if they looked at him with excitement and admiration, they were still his enemies.
He stood on top of the jiao and looked around. "I'm back."
Fanatical cheers rang out, but after a sharp shout sounded, everyone instantly fell silent.
"Dao Monarch Lu, this is the Perennial World. What are you doing here?" Wang Zheng said. He was the Wang familys patriarch, and Lu Yin had appeared directly underneath the Wang familys continent. The four ruling powers had almost had a final showdown with Lu Yin just a few days ago, so how could the Wang family tolerate the mans presence? It was only natural that Wang Zheng sounded aggressive.
Lu Yin looked up at the Wang family floating continent, and he released a massive burst of power.
