Star Odyssey Chapter 2473 – Cauldron Transformation

Chapter 2473 – Cauldron Transformation

On this day, the adoration and wors.h.i.+p directed towards Lu Yin reached an unprecedented level. Countless cultivators could not stop themselves from bowing low and wors.h.i.+ping Lu Yin. Their shouts rang with fervor as the people of the Fifth Mainland realized that their strength had been restored. As Lu Yin pointed his sword upwards, their strength returned to them, which filled them with excitement and grat.i.tude.

The most ecstatic people in the Fifth Mainland were none other than the cultivators. 

Losing their strength had meant losing their purpose in life. 

However, Lu Yin had just restored their abilities, which was akin to granting them a fresh start and a new lease on life.

Lu Yin's actions had already inspired grat.i.tude and faith among the cultivators, but at this moment, his image was solidified within the hearts of everyone. He had become more than a mere object of belief; he had become their true faith and ideology.

As people throughout the entire Fifth Mainland understood what was happening and gazed upon Lu Yin’s image, they all bowed towards the Heavens Sect and Lu Yin himself.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the entire Fifth Mainland trembled, as did the Perennial World and even the Mother Tree. However, it was a vibration that no one could sense.

Even Lu Yin himself was unaware of it. Within his heart, the frequency at which the clump of fatesand vibrated resonated with the tremor of the Fifth Mainland. In the depths of Lu Yin’s eyes, an indescribable profoundness and all-encompa.s.sing vastness appeared.

At this moment, certain changes took place in the Fifth Mainland, despite n.o.body being aware of them. 

The Progenitor of Bloodlines stared at Lu Yin in complete shock. Was it really that easy to solve the crisis of the Fifth Mainland’s stellular energy that had troubled them for years? After all, they had been struggling against something that Aeternus had designed. 

Were things really resolved so easily?

Lu Buzheng and the others had a.s.sumed that they were very familiar with Lu Yin, but at this moment, even they were incredibly impressed by him. With the radiance of the Origin Progenitor's sword, Lu Yin had become the brightest star in the Fifth Mainland, and countless people engraved his image into their memories.

Even Bai w.a.n.gyuan was shaken by the sight of Lu Yin at this moment. He found himself unable to move, not because he did not want to, but rather because his mind was completely captivated by the scene playing out before him. He forgot everything else and was only able to watch as Lu Yin turned around and slowly inserted the Origin Progenitor’s sword back into the man’s statue.

Lu Yin gasped for breath as he slowly released the sword, his back still to the crowd.

Everyone could only stare at his back. It was impossible for anyone to conceal the fanaticism and admiration in their eyes.

"Greetings, Dao Monarch." The Second Nightking bowed respectfully.

Master Shan's eyes lit up. "Greetings, Dao Monarch.”

The old man was moved beyond words. He had never believed that, after so many years, the t.i.tle of Dao Monarch would return to the Lu family. Those two words had always belonged to their family.

"Greetings, Dao Monarch." Wan Zhiyi and many others also bowed.

Kui Luo grinned. "Greetings, Dao Monarch."

The Progenitor of Bloodlines took a deep breath. "Greetings, Dao Monarch."

Whether they were cultivators from the Fifth Mainland or the Sixth Mainland, ordinary cultivators, Semi-Progenitors, or Progenitors, they all bowed to Lu Yin. "Greetings, Dao Monarch."

"Greetings, Dao Monarch."

"Greetings, Dao Monarch."

In Astral-10, Headmaster Shao Chen stood and slowly bowed in Lu Yin's direction. "Greetings, Dao Monarch."

Countless voices merged to form a torrent of sound that resounded across the sky of the Fifth Mainland and shook the very heavens, creating ripples in the Astral River.

In the Technocracy and Astral Beast Domain, countless individuals and various creatures were compelled to bow beneath this overwhelming current. Willing or not, they all found themselves unable to resist.

In Shenwu Continent, Arch-Elder Zen smiled. "Regardless of your cultivation level, given everything you've done for this part of the universe, you deserve to bear this honor."

He also gave a slow bow. "Greetings, Dao Monarch."

As Arch-Elder Zen spoke, the will of the entire Fifth Mainland completely unified, and the words "Dao Monarch" seemed to explode from the void itself to ring within Lu Yin's ears.

He turned around. As he raised a hand, several suns rose from it. Nine suns soared high above him, growing more and more dazzling by the moment.

"Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation," he said softly before bringing his palms together. The nine suns suddenly merged together to form a ma.s.sive cauldron.

Qing Ping's eyes went wide from sheer astonishment. Was this their master's Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation? 

When the cauldron appeared, an indistinct yet ancient aura spread out from it, evoking an indescribable sense of dread within Lu Buzheng and many others. While they had felt this before, at this moment, the sensation was far, far more p.r.o.nounced.

Bai w.a.n.gyuan also sensed the ancient aura, and it made his eyes grow large. Just what kind of aura was this? It even made him s.h.i.+ver uncontrollably.

From the moment that Lu Yin had fully mastered the Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation to now, he had never actually used it. This was not because he did not want to, but rather because it was incredibly difficult to properly utilize the technique. While its power was truly formidable, he did not actually understand how to wield it. It was only at this moment that Lu Yin had finally understood, and he had instantly put that understanding into action.

The Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation gathered a form of will, or possibly even faith. It had originally been developed to bring warmth by igniting a flame. A cauldron had been the very first item that humans ever formed from mud, and it had provided humanity with a chance to survive. A cauldron had been the first tool to ever appear in human history, and thus a cauldron symbolized the inheritances, hopes, and civilization of human beings. This was the Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation. It was a technique that could absorb all forms of power and converge them into a vessel.

As for what a tool that was the manifestation of human will could be used for, no one could say for sure.

Lu Yin pressed his hands down, and the cauldron fell, landing with a bang. It fell to the enormous plaza within the Heavens Sect that stood at the entrance to the sect beneath the astral stairs. 

Initially, everyone believed that the cauldron was a technique, but they quickly realized that it was a physical object.

Lu Yin had never expected that eliminating Time Poison with the Origin Progenitor's sword would trigger such a powerful effect. While not even he could observe every corner of the Fifth Mainland, he was able to determine without a shadow of a doubt that he had become the center of attention. This was why he had finally been able to successfully use the true Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation.

After successfully mastering the technique, Lu Yin had attempted to materialize the intangible into a physical cauldron, but he had failed. After that, he had been uncertain as to how to proceed with the technique. After all, how was it possible for a technique to transform the intangible into the tangible? It was as mysterious as cultivating Truesight to the point where a person’s body could transform into their innate gift.

At this moment, when Lu Yin had become the target of faith for the entire Fifth Mainland, he had finally been able to successfully use the Ninesuns Cauldron Transformation.

Countless eyes stared at the gigantic cauldron that sat at the bottom of the astral stairs, wondering what it was for.

Lu Yin himself did not know the answer to that question. Regardless, he would just leave the cauldron where it sat for the time being. It could be regarded as a weapon or even a symbol of the collective, united will of humanity. In essence, this cauldron equipped the Heavens Sect with the strength of the collective will of the Fifth Mainland.

As the cauldron fell, the Origin Progenitor's Sword disappeared into the statue, and all commotion ceased.

Lu Yin then turned to look at Bai w.a.n.gyuan. "I've restored the Fifth Mainland’s stellular energy back to normal, so please reopen the New Corridor and fulfill your end of our agreed upon truce. We will take over the fourth array base’s protection once again. Progenitor Bai, don't underestimate Aeternus. They will eventually return."

Bai w.a.n.gyuan gave Lu Yin a long look. Many incomprehensible things always happened around this boy. If given the chance, the Progenitor would have happily struck down Lu Yin right then and there.

The jiao roared and flashed its fangs and claws at the old man.

Bai w.a.n.gyuan looked over at the jiao, and then back at Lu Yin. "Lu Xiaoxuan, Sage Yuan has said that he wishes to give this creature to the Great Sovereign as a gift, as it will please the Great Sovereign greatly. Will you accept giving it away?"

Lu Yin arched a brow. "So what if he will like it? That has nothing to do with me."

Bai w.a.n.gyuan calmly replied, "The Great Sovereign is a powerful individual who stands equal to the Origin Progenitor himself, surpa.s.sing even the Three Realms Six Dao. If the Great Sovereign truly desires a gift, then it would be best to offer it to him. Doing otherwise will only invite trouble. The Lu family suffered their downfall precisely because they failed to recognize their place."

With that, the man turned around and left.

After being unable to prevent Lu Yin from claiming the t.i.tle of Dao Monarch, Bai w.a.n.gyuan had decided to return to Bai Xian'er and discuss the true meaning of the t.i.tle.

Lu Yin stared at Bai w.a.n.gyuan's departing figure. It was clear that the four ruling powers intended to use another as their blade to eliminate Lu Yin, as they had tried before. This time, the blade that they hoped to use was the Great Sovereign.

No one would be able to stop the Great Sovereign if such a powerhouse really did make a move, but Aeternus’s True G.o.d would not allow that to happen so easily.

There were times when achieving balance was the best way to proceed.

The restoration of the Fifth Mainland’s stellular and star energy back to a normal state during the Heavens a.s.sembly had injected a newfound vitality to the entire place.

Attendant Wu literally prostrated on the ground in wors.h.i.+p of Lu Yin.

After several days pa.s.sed, Lu Yin stood in the plaza beneath the astral stairs, lost in his own thoughts as he gazed at the cauldron.

Attendant Wu stood beside him, though adopting a very subservient demeanor.

"Tell me more about the Main Universe, as well as everything that you know about the Great Sovereign," Lu Yin calmly ordered.

Attendant Wu kept his head bowed, not daring to even look at Lu Yin. "In the Cyclic Universe, there are the three Sovereigns and nine Sages, all of whom are powerhouses equal to this universe’s Progenitors. The Great Sovereign is their master."

Lu Yin's eyes flickered. This was something that Attendant Wu had mentioned before, but the specific details of the statement left Lu Yin quite concerned.

The fact that the universe had twelve Progenitors, or that the Great Sovereign was a powerhouse comparable to the Origin Progenitor did not particularly surprise Lu Yin. The Heavens Sect era of their own universe had been home to even greater numbers of powerhouses.

No, what was unbelievable to Lu Yin was that the three Sovereigns and nine Sages were all disciples of the Great Sovereign.

Even the Origin Progenitor himself had only had three disciples, who were the Three Realms. The Six Dao had not been the Origin Progenitor’s disciples, let alone other Progenitors of the Heavens Sect.

No matter how talented a person might be, or what level their cultivation might have reached, simply guiding oneself to become an invincible powerhouse was already a remarkable feat. Successfully guiding a few disciples was even more impressive, but how could one person possibly nurture so many Progenitors?

"Throughout the history of the Cyclic Universe, there has never been a time when there were not three Sovereigns and nine Sages. On the other hand, the Great Sovereign is an eternal powerhouse who has always been present. According to Monarch Luo, the Great Sovereign loves tea and will often discuss the Dao over tea. Over time, this tradition has led to the Cyclic Universe hosting the largest tea ceremonies of anywhere in the Sixverse a.s.sociation…"

Lu Yin quietly listened. No matter how many times he heard about the Cyclic Universe, he was always left with the same feeling: it was a truly powerful universe.

The universe that Lu Yin lived in had reached its peak during the Heavens Sect era. After that, the six Mainlands had been destroyed one by one, and they had continued to decline to the current era. In contrast, the Cyclic Universe had remained unaltered throughout the known ages. The universe’s legacy of there always being three Sovereigns and nine Sages had continued uninterrupted, and the Great Sovereign had also always been present.

How were they able to guarantee that their inheritance was pa.s.sed down? Just how powerful were the people of that universe? What was the difference in strength between the three Sovereigns and the nine Sages? How strong were the other universes that made up the Sixverse a.s.sociation? At the very least, each one should possess about the same level of strength as the Three Monarchs Universe. When all of these various factors were taken into account, it presented an image of a tremendous and terrifying power.

The Perennial World had been excluded from the Sixverse a.s.sociation at the very beginning, and the Lu family had also been exiled. The Main Universe had replaced the Origin Universe as the strongest power of all of the known universes. Everything that Lu Yin had learned indicated that his own universe had been deliberately marginalized.

What would happen when they made contact with the Sixverse a.s.sociation? How would the Main Universe react to him? How would the other universes react?

At the moment, Lu Yin's greatest desire was to learn more about the Sixverse a.s.sociation.

Attendant Wu's knowledge of the Main Universe was limited to the occasional comment that he had heard from Monarch Luo, which meant that Attendant Wu’s understanding was far from comprehensive. Lu Yin not only wanted to learn about the Sixverse a.s.sociation, but he also wanted to join it.

In the Perennial World, Bai Xian'er emerged from Crimson Garden.
