Chapter 2838: The Heavens Sect And The Lu Family

"I'm so sorry, Son. I was late." This man was Lu Qi, Lu Yin's father.

Lu Yin clenched his fists, not knowing what to say. He simply allowed Lu Qi to hold him.

Lu Qi eventually let go and then grabbed Lu Yin's shoulder, staring at him with excitement. After a moment, Lu Qi punched Lu Yin’s shoulder rather hard. "I knew that you could do it, son! You just needed to survive, and then leave the rest to your father."

Lu Yin let out a breath and looked at Lu Qi in a conflicted manner. "I’ve lost all of my memories."

Lu Qi's face turned pale, and he looked at Lu Yuan for help, but the ancestor just shook his head.

The last of the Lu family’s Progenitors approached from the distance. "There are various powers in existence that people can cultivate, including karma and divination. I did not seal your memories, but rather erased them entirely.

"If you possessed any of your old memories, an interested person could have potentially found you through those memories.

"If you were unable to bring the Lu family back, I hoped that the seal would be able to protect you for your entire life. Ancestor would wake up sooner or later, and it was just a matter of time before he brought us back."

Lu Yin looked at the man, knowing who this was without having to guess. After all, Lu Yin had seen this man while traveling through time and space. "Ancestor Tianyi?"

Lu Tianyi smiled and gave Lu Yin a look of admiration. "You have done better than I ever imagined, Xiaoxuan. The Lu family is proud of you. Even during the Heavens Sect era, our Lu family would have readily admitted that you were our pride and joy."

The Lu family had ruled over the Fifth Mainland even during the Heavens Sect era, and they had given birth to many incredible geniuses. With their Investiture of the Gods and Champions’ Stage, any who successfully awakened both innate gifts would invariably rise above their peers. Even so, Lu Tianyi acknowledged Lu Yin as a genius who had surpassed all others the Lu family had ever seen.

That included Lu Tianyi himself.

Lu Yuan patted Lu Yin’s shoulder. "Even this ancestor could not compare to you, Xiaoxuan. From now on, the Lu family will be left to you."

Lu Yin did not know what to say. This was his family, they were connected by blood, and they were a source of comfort and support.

He took a deep breath. "I understand."

Lu Qi laughed. "Son, let's go see your Heavens Sect. I’ve heard that you’ve become the Dao Monarch, but your father is also no slouch, haha."

Lu Yin laughed. While his original relationship with his father would never return, due to the erased memories, Lu Qi still found a way to get along with Lu Yin. What’s more, he did so in a way where Lu Yin would not feel any pressure.

Lu Yin did not reject Lu Qi. Even if he had lost all of his previous memories, he still innately trusted this person.

Besides, Lu Qi was not a complete stranger to Lu Yin. During his sixth stellular tribulations, Lu Qi had appeared, and he had even summoned Progenitor Wen with the Investiture of the Gods. Also, Lu Yin had seen Lu Qi hugging his mother when he had stepped onto the Stargazing Deck one time.

"Dad," Lu Yin said.

Lu Qi happily responded.

"Did Mother pass away?" Lu Yin asked softly.

Lu Qi's face fell. "Yes, she died a long time ago."

There was no secret regarding the death of Lu Yin’s mother. She had simply died from an illness. Lu Yin had already heard this through Kui Luo, but he had simply wanted to verify it with Lu Qi.

Having received that confirmation, Lu Yin felt rather torn.

After a moment of silence, he asked another question. "When did you become a Progenitor?"

Lu Qi sighed. "While our family was in exile. If we wanted to return, aside from waking Ancestor, it was also ideal to have a few more Progenitors added to our numbers. Unfortunately-"

He fell silent for a moment. "Two of our Progenitor elders died. After all, we were in Aeternus’s territory."

Lu Yin was not surprised. When he had first learned that the Lu family had been exiled, he had assumed that the family had all been killed, as had the four ruling powers. Xia Shenji alone had always known that the Lu family was still alive.

"Alright, we’ll talk about these things later. You need some time to learn about the family’s affairs. First, let us learn about your Heavens Sect," Lu Qi said with a smile.

Destina deliberately kept her distance.

During the Heavens Sect era, she had frequently created trouble for the Lu family, including both Lu Buzheng and Lu Tianyi.

If a gatemaster like Hen Xin was uncomfortable interacting with Lu Tianyi, then Dao Chosen like Chu Yuan and Heluo Mavis were in an even worse position. They were stunned to the point where they did not even know how to talk to their former peer.

When Lu Tianyi saw them, he simply ignored them.

They had all been Dao Chosen, but time had pulled them far apart. The gap was so great that they could not even see across it.

Chu Yuan wanted to voice his determination to catch up to Lu Tianyi, but when he remembered the sight of Lu Tianyi eliminating all of Aeternus’s Progenitor-level corpse kings as though he were chopping melons and vegetables, he lost confidence. He had already been defeated by Lu Yin, and he had lost his arrogance from the Heavens Sect era.

If Chu Yuan had met Lu Tianyi immediately after coming out of the sourcebox, he definitely would have made a fuss upon seeing Lu Tianyi.

Interactions between the Heavens Sect and the Lu family went smoothly. After all, Lu Yin led both of them.

Lu Yin led Lu Qi and the others to see the current Heavens Sect, and he made it a point to introduce them to Cloudflow, Chen Le, Monarch Xing, and the other peak powerhouses. After a few days, Lu Yin sought out Lu Yuan to speak with him alone, and he asked his ancestor to save Ming Yan.

This was a matter that had been weighing on Lu Yin’s mind for too long.

Ming Yan had not offered Lu Yin much help, nor had he spent much time with her. Despite that, she was one of the few people capable of making him feel warmth, as though he did not need to hide anything about himself from her.

With Ming Yan, Lu Yin could share his thoughts freely, be comfortable, share his youthful ambitions, and completely relax.

That was enough.

Lu Yuan observed the frozen Ming Yan who was sealed by the ice, his expression solemn.

Lu Yin grew worried. "Ancestor, she is the most important person to me. She’s my wife."

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Yin. "Xiaoxuan—no, I’ll call you Little Seven. I’ve heard many people call you that.”

"Little Seven, do you understand my level?"

Lu Yin first nodded, but then he shook his head. "I know that, upon becoming a Progenitor, one’s goal is to master sequence particles and the laws of the universe, but I don’t know about your realm, Ancestor, or that of the Great Sovereign."

Lu Yuan clasped his hands behind his back. "Sequence particles are the laws that govern the universe’s operation. Just like how, when something strikes the surface of water, there will naturally be a splash. This is something that everyone understands, and it is common sense.

"There are cultivators who use brute force to stabilize the surface of water so that, even when it is struck, there will be no splash. These people may believe that they have defied common sense, but isn't this just another kind of common sense? Using strength to overcome another power is simply the definition of cultivation.

"What can truly break the rules of the universe is mastering the laws of the universe." As the man spoke, he manifested stellular energy that transformed into water, and Lu Yuan slapped it with a hand. The water did not splash, and it also was not destroyed. Instead, it transformed and took on another form, becoming another substance entirely.

Lu Yuan asked, "Would you have thought of this form before I slapped the water?"

Lu Yin shook his head.

“This sort of unexpected thing is truly breaking the rules.”

Lu Yuan looked back at Ming Yan again. "There are too many laws that govern the universe. Without these laws, humans would have never appeared. How many laws can a single person master? Too few, far too few. If a person’s strength reaches a certain level, they can use the laws of the universe to alter the universe itself, but they will never be capable of altering all the laws of the universe at the same time.

"Additionally, there are certain laws that are nearly impossible to master, and Life is one of them.

"This child has had her body’s vitality cut off. While freezing her has managed to also freeze her vitality, this is not enough to restore the universal law that has been severed. If you wish to save her, you must rewrite the laws of the universe for her body."
