Chapter 2849: Lu Yin And Mu Ke

The more that Lu Yin thought about the possibility of Possessing peak powerhouses, the more excited he became. While the idea had occurred to him before, he had forgotten about it. This was his first time thinking about it since becoming a Semi-Progenitor.

Yes, it would be best to roll his die and Possess a peak powerhouse.

There were only so many peak powerhouses in the entire Sixverse Association. Aside from the sequence powerhouses, Lu Yin felt confident that he could Possess anyone else.

Excitement filled Lu Yin's eyes. If he could accomplish this, he would be able to indirectly control the decisions of more than half of the Sixverse Association.

This meant that, once again, Lu Yin’s problem was money. He simply did not have enough star essence, though that was not all that he lacked. He also needed voidforce energy, the power of the Arboreal Realm, and more. Out of all the different parallel universes, the most troublesome was the Transcendent Universe. That universe did not cultivate any specific power, which meant that there was no way to Possess anyone.

Still, that was not terribly important. For now, Lu Yin could ignore the Transcendent Universe. After all, the Cyclic Universe was the most important.

Of the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages, Lu Yin believed that he could Possess the vast majority of them.

However, he lacked money. It always came down to a lack of funds.

Lu Yin did not even dare to consider how much it would cost to Possess a peak powerhouse. Even if it was not as ridiculous as the price to Enhance the Origin Progenitor’s sword, there was no doubt that it would be an exorbitant amount.

After thinking for a while, he eventually decided to visit the Arboreal Realm to first meet with his senior brother, Mu Ke.

During the Tea Ceremony, Lu Yin had realized that Mu Ke was one of his senior disciple brothers, but they had barely spoken. There was finally time to do so, and it would be good for them to meet each other.

Lu Yin entered the Arboreal Realm for the second time, and just like the first time, he was taken to the universe by Mu Sanye.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

The trees filled the entirety of the Arboreal Realm, and Lu Yin looked at the endless growth once again.

While visiting the Arboreal Realm, the person Lu Yin wanted to see the most was to see Mu Ke, the least was Mr. Daheng.

Mr. Daheng was unquestionably a sequence powerhouse, and he seemed to be at the same level as Xu Wuwei. He had first learned about Mr. Daheng and the Liberation Palace from Chen Le.

Even though Mr. Daheng’s attention had been shifted over to Luoshan, the fact that Chen Le had publicly joined the Heavens Sect meant that Lu Yin could not be certain of anything regarding Mr. Daheng.

"Senior Mu San, I'm sorry to need to trouble you," Lu Yin apologized.

Mu San's expression changed, as he was scared by Lu Yin’s apology. "Lord Lu, it’s a pleasure. Please, follow me."

Lu Yin nodded.

Once Lu Yin’s true identity was exposed, Xuan Qi’s network and relationships had naturally changed. Now, Mu San, the bureau members, and Xu Xiangyin all treated Lu Yin differently from before.

There was no way around this. Once a person reached a certain level of status, their influence would be infinitely amplified by that status. As the ruler of the Origin Universe, especially with the backing of the Lu family, Lu Yin enjoyed the support of no less than ten peak powerhouses. Such support was terrifying even to peak powerhouses in the Sixverse Association.

And that wasn’t even mentioning Lu Yin’s Semi-Progenitor-level contacts; there were many people who lacked even that much strength.

Mu San led the way, and the two men made their way towards Mu Ke.

When Lu Yin had last visited the Arboreal Sanctuary, the entire group had been delivered there by Mu Ke, saving them a great deal of time. Looking back, Lu Yin realized that the blade slash that had moved them might have been a greeting to him.

After some time, Lu Yin started to sense an indistinct pressure from far away. It felt very familiar, as it was the same pressure that he had felt protecting him at the Tea Ceremony. This was his senior brother, Mu Ke.

"Lord Lu, Senior Mu Ke is just up ahead. I will take my leave now." Mu Sanye spoke very respectfully.

Lu Yin nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."

Mu Sanye offered a few polite words before quickly leaving.

Once Mu San was gone, Lu Yin continued on towards where he sensed Senior Brother Mu Ke. It did not take long for Lu Yin to arrive. "Senior Brother."

Mu Ke looked up. "Have things in your universe stabilized?"

“Yes.”

Mu Ke was sitting on the trunk of a tree, his eyes covered by a strip of black cloth. He sat as though staring off into the distance. "Some years ago, Master visited me and said that he had accepted a disciple. I asked him if he was satisfied with his new disciple, but Master said that he did not know himself.”

As for Senior Brother Mu Xie, the man had dedicated himself to catching Redbacks, and he refused to be swayed by the will of the four ruling powers. Even if the Lu family had tried to intervene, the man would have persisted.

All of them had their own determination.

Being accepted as one of Mister Mu’s disciples required more than mere talent.

In comparison, Senior Brother Mu Ke was more pure and straightforward in a sense. Put more bluntly, he was single-minded. Simply because of Mister Mu's evaluation of Lu Yin, Mu Ke had gone and attacked Lu Yin eighty-one times. While such a focused person would excel in their area of focus, they would also be difficult to get along with.

"You accepted my eighty-one attacks, and those eighty-one attacks were a greeting gift for you," Mu Ke stated.

Lu Yin bitterly replied, "Senior brother's greeting gift is truly unique."

Mu Ke appeared puzzled. "Truly?"

Lu Yin understood that Mu Ke was genuinely confused. In this man’s mind, Lu Yin had to have been capable of withstanding the eighty-one slashes. After all, he had received such a unique evaluation from their master. As long as Mu Ke did not question Mister Mu, he would similarly never question whether or not Lu Yin could endure the eighty-one attacks. In that case, since Lu Yin was able to endure the slashes, then the final miniature saber was a greeting gift. This made perfect sense to Mu Ke.

It had never even occurred to the man what the consequences would be if Lu Yin had failed to endure the attacks.

In short, regardless of what may have happened, there was no reason for Lu Yin to not relax around Senior Brother Mu Ke.

Mu Ke stared at Lu Yin. "The saber formed from those eighty-one slashes was used. Who was it?"

"Cheng Kong," Lu Yin replied.

Mu Ke's voice dropped a bit as he commented, "They’re still not dead."

Lu Yin arched a brow. "After they were attacked by the eighty-one slashes on the Endless Frontier, they disappeared. When Aeternus attacked the Tea Ceremony, the Heavens Sect, and even the Sixverse Association’s Endless Frontier, no one saw anything of Cheng Kong."

Mu Ke replied, "I’ve fought them before, and those eighty-one slashes are not enough to kill them."

Lu Yin's heart sank. This was a problem. Because Cheng Kong had not shown up during the big attack, Lu Yin had assumed that they were dead.

In the past, Lu Yin had not been able to determine Cheng Kong’s true strength. After all, Lu Yin had not been able to determine the strength of the person who had attacked him with eighty-one slashes either, but the times had since changed. Lu Yin knew that Senior Brother Mu Ke was powerful enough to face off against the Seven Skygods. Regardless of whether he would win or lose, the fact remained that Mu Ke could fight against the Seven Skygods, which meant that he was a sequence powerhouse. Even so, his eighty-one slashes were not enough to kill Cheng Kong, which meant that Cheng Kong had to be at the same level of strength.

More and more, Lu Yin was slowly coming to understand the true strength of Aeternus: True God, the Seven Skygods, Cheng Kong, the captains of the True God Guard, as well asa the other more ordinary peak powerhouses like Yi Ren and the True God Guard.

This was the power that Aeternus had revealed, and it was an amazing amount of strength. If they still had more hidden reserves, it would be truly difficult for the Sixverse Association to deal with.

"Given your current strength, if you encounter Cheng Kong again, you will at least be able to stay alive, but if you want to escape, you will have to pay a steep price," Mu Ke commented.

Lu Yin looked at the man. "What are you saying, Senior Brother?"

"I'll give you another eighty-one slashes," Mu Ke gravely stated.

Lu Yin grew serious as well. "Can we skip the part where you attack me eighty-one times and just give me the miniature saber?"

"It can’t be skipped."

"About that..."

"You don't want it? Then just forget it."

"No, I want it. Alright, I’ll have to trouble you, Senior Brother."
