Chapter 1083: Universe’s Number One Mysterious Technique
Upon hearing the mention of G.o.ds’ Origin, Lu Yin instantly thought of G.o.d Taiyi. Although he called himself a G.o.d and was extremely arrogant, he had also treated Lu Yin rather decently. If he had time, Lu Yin felt that he should visit G.o.ds’ Origin, as he might be able to raise his comprehension of Truesight to the next level.
Truesight was a very useful weapon, as it allowed Lu Yin to directly weaken his enemy’s attacks, and at times, it could even help him heal. When Luo Shen’s abdomen had been badly injured, Lu Yin had relied on Truesight to erase some of the harmful runes in her injury to save her.
The Rune Civilization had been mysterious, and G.o.ds’ Origin were expert researchers of the ancient civilization’s methods and technology, so there was no way that the power was simple.
“The Mavis family are born from the great tree. They actually have very few people, but all of them have a peerless talent, especially their Treeheart Descendants. You don’t need to know what a Treeheart Descendant is, but you should know that if you b.u.mp into one of them, you must be very, very careful. They are difficult, exceptionally difficult, to deal with,” Highsage Shenwei solemnly warned.
Lu Yin nodded again, as he understood. Not a single one of the Neoverse powers could be discounted.
“Next is Aurora Enterprises, Smoke-Eater Peaks, and Azure Mansion. I don’t want to explain any more, and you’ll understand things better when you meet them for yourself. Then, you just can ask them your own questions. However, I do want to stress the Hall of Honor.” Highsage Shenwei’s expression grew solemn the moment he mentioned the Hall of Honor, and he looked at Lu Yin with a serious expression. “Have you ever felt that the Hall of Honor has never sent out any truly impressive experts? And that none of their youths have ever appeared? That it’s as though they look down on others?”
Lu Yin shook his head. “I haven’t felt like they’re condescending towards others in particular, but since the Hall of Honor is the Fifth Mainland’s guiding power, they’re definitely not simple.”
Highsage Shenwei nodded. “You’re rather clever. This is how it is, as the Hall of Honor has a certain technique that’s regarded as the number one technique in the entire universe. If someone successfully cultivates it, then n.o.body can fight against them. It’s known as the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique.”
Lu Yin felt confused, as he had never heard of this before.
The Ghost Monkey exclaimed, “The Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique? That’s right! It really is the number one technique in the universe. According to the journals of some old powerhouses, once the Tri-Yang Technique has been cultivated, it’s absolutely peerless. However, n.o.body has cultivated it in many years.”
“Tri-Yang Technique is the Hall of Honor’s ultimate inherited technique, but it’s been several hundreds of thousands of years since anyone last managed to learn it,” Highsage Shenwei commented with an emotional sigh.
Lu Yin remained doubtful. “Is this technique really that powerful?”
Highsage Shenwei thought about it for a moment before saying, “Let me put it this way. Anyone who’s cultivated the Tri-Yang Technique would beat you as easily as beating a dog.”
Lu Yin was speechless, as this was simply insulting him!
“I’ve never seen the power of Tri-Yang Technique, and I’ve only heard Master mention it before. Apparently, he’s seen it, but he hasn’t said much about it.” Highsage Shenwei moved over in front of Lu Yin and chuckled. “I bet that Master was also thrashed by Tri-Yang Technique in the past, which is why he isn’t willing to talk about it, hahaha!”
Lu Yin pursed his lips. “Maybe. Maybe not.”
Highsage Shenwei splashed back into the hot tub and then picked up his head as the water landed everywhere. He took a big swig of his drink. “I don’t know whether or not Master was defeated by the Tri-Yang Technique, but you definitely will be, because the Hall of Honor’s First Chosen of your generation has already cultivated Tri-Yang Technique.”
Lu Yin’s expression changed.
The Ghost Monkey was terrified. “That can’t be! Someone actually cultivated it? Seventh Bro, quickly find out that person’s name so that we can hide from them. There’s no way we can fight against someone like that—they have the Tri-Yang Technique! It’s undoubtedly the number one technique in the entire Fifth Mainland, which even includes the Astral Beast Domain. There’s no technique that can compete with it—none!”
“Senior, what’s the name of that First Chosen who’s cultivated the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique?” Lu Yin also felt his hair stand on end, as just the name of this technique sounded incredibly powerful.
Highsage Shenwei shook his head and replied, “I don’t know. All I heard was that someone picked it up, but only a ghost would know for sure if someone’s learned that technique.”
Lu Yin resisted a sudden impulse to lash out at Highsage Shenwei. This fellow sounded like he was cursing someone with each sentence, and he clearly liked to make things unnecessarily complicated, which was infuriating.
After Lu Yin calmed down a bit, he activated his gadget and tried to look for some information on Tri-Yang Technique, but there was nothing at all.
“Aside from Tri-Yang Technique, the Hall of Honor also has a few other secret techniques. There is one particularly obnoxious one called Discipline.” Highsage Shenwei sighed and looked at Lu Yin with a good deal of sympathy. “I didn’t partic.i.p.ate when my generation competed at the Astral Tower, but my Grand Senior went. I heard that he was rather revolted by the Discipline secret technique, so you should be careful.”
Lu Yin licked his lips. “Are the powers that you’ve mentioned everyone who’s partic.i.p.ating in the Astral Tower contest?”
Highsage Shenwei sneered. “Of course not! The Astral Tower is the treasure of the entire Fifth Mainland, but it’s simply controlled by our Human Domain. As for why we can keep control of it, that’s because the entire Human Domain is working together to hold back the Astral Beast Domain and the Technocracy. Also, two of the Three Dark Hands join in on the contest at the Astral Tower, though the Neohuman Alliance is not accepted.
“The Neohuman Alliance is clearly a dark existence, and anyone from that organization needs to be eliminated as soon as anyone they are spotted. As for the Seven Courts and Burial Garden, they’re both able to send people to partic.i.p.ate, and they do so both openly and secretly. On the surface, the Hall of Honor seems to try to stop such things, but in reality, they won’t. Thus, your opponents will also include the heirs of the Seven Courts and Burial Garden.”
Lu Yin finally understood why the Ten Arbiters felt the need to join forces. It was because there were simply too many heirs from the top powers of the universe. Just the Seven Courts alone, aside from the Yu family, would likely have six powerful heirs, and each one had most likely comprehended their family’s corresponding secret technique. Burial Garden, the few Honor Chosens from the Hall of Honor, and the Cosmic’s Sect disciples were each already powerful enough. Even if some of them only sent a single heir, there would definitely be more than ten people altogether. Additionally, there were no limits to how many people could compete at the Astral Tower this time, so it was possible that there would be dozens of partic.i.p.ants or more.
This was also not counting the elites from powers like Eversky Island.
If all of the Neoverse’s powers joined together to deal with the Ten Arbiters, then those ten would be in danger even if they united. The Arbiters might not be worried about one one one fights, but if there was a battle royale, then they would definitely be pressured by a numerical disadvantage.
Highsage Shenwei was amused by how Lu Yin’s expression was fluctuating, and the older man finally burst out in a fit of laughter. “Kid, are you scared? Hahaha.”
Lu Yin replied, “Less so scared, and more worried about the sheer number of people.”
Highsage Shenwei answered, “There’s no need to be afraid. You’ll be representing my Eversky Island, and you’re already a nominal disciple of Everysky Island. Thus, the people from the Neoverse won’t target you. They’ll only go after those people from the Innerverse, the so-called Ten Arbiters.”
“Senior, I’m also one of the Ten Arbiters now,” Lu Yin commented.
Highsage Shenwei snickered. “Then everything will simply depend on your fate. Although you’re not particularly handsome, you aren’t too ugly either. n.o.body should beat you up just because of your looks, hahaha!”
Lu Yin often felt like conversing with Highsage Shenwei was an insult to his intelligence.
“Although not many people will beat you up for your looks, you really overdid things this time. There are definitely some people who are upset with you, especially since you even united the Outerverse, and it just had to be at this important time right before the contest at the Astral Tower begins. You’ve certainly got b.a.l.l.s.” Highsage Shenwei laughed.
Lu Yin had also thought about this, and he realized that he had taken on too much heat recently, and there were definitely many people who were upset with him. He just hoped that the First Chosen or some other such monster had not set their eyes on him.
“Right, Senior, how strong are the people from Eversky Island who will be partic.i.p.ating in the contest?” Lu Yin expectantly asked. It would definitely be a bit better if he had a helper or two. He had recently fought against Lan Si and then dueled Nightking Zhenwu. As a result, Lu Yin was feeling a bit tired. He wanted to join a battle royale where people would randomly beat other opponents.
Highsage Shenwei blinked, and his expression became a bit strange. “They’re alright, still alright.”
“Is that so? So how many people are there?” Lu Yin followed up urgently.
Highsage Shenwei licked his lips. “Two.”
Lu Yin was quite happy with this. “Two? That’s great!”
Including him, they would have three people. If they moved around together, they would not suffer a numerical disadvantage against other groups. If Lu Yin also cooperated with the Ten Arbiters, his chances of surviving this contest would go up dramatically, which gave him some hope.
Highsage Shenwei stopped speaking, and he silently soaked in the hot tub, though he occasionally threw sympathetic glances at Lu Yin. The youth never even noticed.
Soon, the s.p.a.cecraft reached the Cosmic Sea.
Although the meteorological conditions within the Cosmic Sea were ever-changing and contained strange variations that prevented commoners from pa.s.sing through, none of this was an issue for Highsage Shenwei.
When Eversky Island’s disciples completed their apprentices.h.i.+p, all of them had to undergo an evaluation: they had to force their way into the Technocracy on their own. Highsage Leon had successfully done so, which meant that he had completed his training. Once this task was accomplished, Eversky Island would not care about what their former disciples decided to do.
Since Highsage Leon had completed the final evaluation, then naturally so had Highsage Shenwei.
If they were able to force their way into the Technocracy, then there was no need to even mention the Cosmic Sea.
Highsage Shenwei held the s.p.a.cecraft with one hand and Lu Yin with the other. He then effortlessly pa.s.sed through the Cosmic Sea to appear over the Whitecliff Region.
As Lu Yin looked down at the white sea, all the memories of what had happened here during his last visit flooded back.
This was the region where the battle between the most elite youths from two mainlands had broken out, and it was also where two of the Sixth Mainland’s Empyrean Imprinters and two of their Cosmic Imprinters had fallen. Two experts from the Fifth Mainland with power levels of 1,000,000 had also perished here. Finally, it was also where Bu Kong had fought in a shocking manner as he towered over everyone on the Champions' Stage. Lu Yin would never forget that scene.
Even with his current strength, Lu Yin was not confident in his abilities to face off against any of the Daosource Three Skies. Each one was an Enlighter, and Bu Kong had even comprehended a sourcebox array.
The Sixth Mainland had super elites from the younger generation who had already become Enlighters like the Daosource Three Skies. So, just what sort of strength was hidden within the Neoverse?
Lu Yin looked to the south, and in front of him lay the Neoverse.
As the Whitecliff Region vanished behind them, Lu Yin was once again grabbed by Highsage Shenwei as they tore through the void. They then appeared in a foreign region of s.p.a.ce. Aside from a dark and endless expanse in front of them, Lu Yin could vaguely see bits of dirt and earth connecting different regions.
Lu Yin was amazed. Soil?
Highsage Shenwei explained, “This is the Neoverse, which was previously the Fifth Mainland. This is the true Fifth Mainland.”
“The true Fifth Mainland?” Lu Yin was curious.
Highsage Shenwei said, “Do you know why they’re called mainlands?”
Lu Yin shook his head.
“Since the beginning of the universe, there have been six mainlands. Five of them have shattered, and the people that invaded us before were from the Sixth Mainland. And this right here, this is the part of the Fifth Mainland that remained the most intact after the rest of it shattered. This region has soil connecting it, much like the Sixth Mainland,” Highsage Shenwei explained.
Lu Yin raised his hand to test the void, and to his surprise, he found that the void in this place was quite stable. Only when he used enough strength to exceed a power level of 200,000 was he able to tear it apart.
“Due to the soil connecting different places, the void here is very stable, and only Enlighters can tear through it. Check out the star energy here,” Highsage Shenwei suggested.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and absorbed some star energy. To his surprise, the amount of star energy in this place far surpa.s.sed the ambient levels of the Innerverse. The Innerverse’s ambient star energy already surpa.s.sed the Outerverse’s, but when compared to the Neoverse’s, there was still a large difference; the Neoverse’s star energy was at least twice as dense. Compared to the Outerverse, there was at least ten times more star energy here.
This was the Neoverse.
“Do you understand now why everyone wants to come to the Neoverse?” Highsage Shenwei asked with a smile.
Lu Yin shook his head.
Highsage Shenwei grew solemn. “It’s because this is where the first humans of the Fifth Mainland came from. This soil has nourished the human race, which makes it fundamentally different from the soil on various random planets. When you live on this soil, it’s easier to become a Progenitor. Thus, many people like to sit on this dirt when they cultivate.”
