Chapter 1981

When Lu Yin opened his eyes again, he saw a ma.s.sive fleet of s.p.a.ceships surrounding him. The sight was shocking, but just where was he?

Memories quickly started to pour into his mind, and Lu Yin’s expression changed drastically. He quickly looked down and finally saw the body that he had Possessed. There were not many experts at this level of strength, so it was not unexpected for Lu Yin to Possess someone he was familiar with. However, beyond all expectations, he had actually Possessed the White Sage.

The Green and White Sages had been elders in the Sixth Mainland’s Daosource Sect. They had been respected for both their humble lifestyles and their strength; both men were four-tribulation Envoys.

However, despite their gleaming reputation, the Green and White Sages had committed countless terrible crimes by taking advantage of their Deep Meditation cultivation art. Still, their crimes had eventually been exposed by Kui Luo, and they had subsequently fled and disappeared.

Lu Yin’s last Possession had been of Meng Fuzi, and he clearly felt the old man’s burning hatred for the Green and White Sages. Lu Yin had not expected to Possess the White Sage with his very next Possession. This seemed like fate.

"My lords, they are arriving now, so please pay attention," a voice spoke up from behind Lu Yin.

Next to him, Green Sage grunted. "Don"t worry, we can already sense them.”

He then glanced over at Lu Yin—no, he looked over at “White Sage.”

"White Sage" nodded. "There are a lot of them."

There was an odd-looking mechanical lifeform behind the two men. They were at Sky Creation Academy.

After the Green and White Sages fled from the Daosource Sect, they had gone straight to the Technocracy and joined Sky Creation Academy. They had done this in order to avoid being chased down and killed by Jiu Yao.

The Technocracy had actually been the two men’s only option.

More and more memories entered Lu Yin"s mind, and his expression kept changing. The most unexpected thing he learned was not regarding the Green and White Sages or that they had joined Sky Creation Academy. Rather, it was that Sky Creation Academy had already finished its negotiations with the Perennial World.

During his last seclusion, Lu Yin had Possessed Long Quan. He had used the man’s body to attack and kill Sky Creation Academy’s amba.s.sador to the Perennial World before committing suicide. At the moment of the man’s death, he had also announced a ma.s.sive lie in an attempt to delay the Perennial World’s invasion of the Fifth Mainland through the New Corridor.

Lu Yin had thought that his efforts would have bought him half a year’s worth of time, but unexpectedly, the Perennial World had already finished its negotiations with Sky Creation Academy after just a quarter year. On top of that, the invasion force had already entered the New Corridor and was about to arrive in the Fifth Mainland.

This was too fast! The Tower of the Fifth had not been finished yet, so it was impossible to unite the Human Domain.

Lu Yin’s mind raced as he processed this information, and he caused White Sage’s body to move forward.

Green Sage shouted, "Get back here. We need to wait here."

"White Sage" acted curious. "I want to see what this New Corridor is and where those people who once abandoned the Fifth Mainland live."

Green Sage frowned. "Sky Creation Academy doesn"t trust us, so we need to wait here. If we move any closer, they’ll get suspicious of us. We can’t go back to the Daosource Sect, and I don’t want to get kicked out of Sky Creation Academy."

"White Sage" did not like this restriction. "Sky Creation Academy doesn"t trust these newcomers, so why did they allow them to come here but leave us here to keep an eye on them? You should remember that these people are also the Fifth Mainland’s true elites, as the ancient war between the two mainlands was mostly fought against those primeval surnames."

Green Sage was completely unfazed. "So what? Countless years have pa.s.sed since then, and the Sixth Mainland’s actually moved into the Fifth Mainland. What’s more, the primeval surnames aren’t even coming for the Sixth Mainland, but rather for some kid named Lu Yin."

"How can a youth be worth all this effort, even if they are from the Lu family?" "White Sage" wondered.

Green Sage looked over. "You’re talking a lot today."

"White Sage" looked back and shook his head. "It"s just a pity that we were discovered after so many years and that our reputations were ruined. If not for that, you and I might have been able to cross our fifth or even our sixth tribulations in the Daosource Sect. Don’t forget that our goal was always to be able to see that place."

Lu Yin had already seen White Sage"s memories and the man’s past, as well as what the man had hoped for while in the Daosource Sect. Furthermore, Lu Yin had seen the man’s deepest desires. Foremost among them was the Green and White Sages’ desire to visit the core of the Daosource Sect, where not even the sect’s elders were allowed to visit.

Actually, Lu Yin already knew what was in that place. Kui Luo had broken into the Daosource Sect, and he had seen a statue in the sect’s depths, but this information had been kept secret from the Green and White Sages.

For many years, they had frequently seen various people going into the depths of the Daosource Sect to worship something, especially the three Progenitors, and this activity made the two men very curious.

White Sage’s words drew out a sigh from Green Sage. "That’s impossible for us now. If I had known what would happen, I would have stopped long ago. It wasn’t the s.e.x that drew us, but rather the excitement of the unknown."

"Not to mention the thrill of seeing the various direct descendants of the big powers and knowing that they’re your own offspring," "White Sage" replied. These were White Sage’s true feelings that Lu Yin was speaking. The Green and White Sages had been born into bad circ.u.mstances and were bullied in their childhood. Their cultivation path had been a difficult one, and they had frequently been oppressed by people from various large families and powerful organizations. They had survived dire ordeals that would be impossible for most people, and this was why they had started committing such crimes; they wanted to take revenge on the various powerful forces.

Green Sage sneered. "Alright, that’s enough. Someone will arrive soon, so we should try to find a way to earn Sky Creation Academy’s trust and then eventually pa.s.s through this New Corridor and reach that other place. Then we will be able to be at peace."

"White Sage" nodded. "Let’s move closer so that we can get a good look at this New Corridor."

Green Sage said nothing, and White Sage continued to move closer and closer to the New Corridor.

There was a blurry line some distance away in s.p.a.ce. From far away, it looked like a long snake moving through s.p.a.ce. Both its beginning and end were too blurry to see, but this was the pa.s.sage that connected the two places.

The New Corridor was not very large, and it was only wide enough for a hundred people to pa.s.s through while walking side by side. However, it was not easy to traverse the New Corridor, and if one was not careful, they could easily fall out of the pa.s.sage and be torn up by the chaotic s.p.a.ce around it. It was important to be careful when pa.s.sing through the New Corridor, and thus, people usually limited themselves to only letting fifty people pa.s.s through at a time in order to avoid accidents that could easily occur with larger groups.

Green Sage and “White Sage” moved closer to the New Corridor, and their actions drew the attention of the mechanical lifeforms from Sky Creation Academy. Still, the two humans stopped before they got too close.

Even though Sky Creation Academy had put on a show of welcoming the two Envoys, it was just a show, and the two were thought of as nothing more than hired guards. After all, experts with power levels of over 800,000 were very useful, and thus the men had been given the basic level of respect, but they were not allowed access to any sensitive information.

"White Sage" stared at the New Corridor and observed everything before him very carefully. The most noticeable things around them was a nearby mechanical giant, which was actually the commander of the Lost Course Army. It was an android as strong as an expert with a power level of over a million. Additionally, there were some other androids around the commander, both humanoid and odd looking ones.

For all of them to be arranged side by side, they should have around the same level of strength.

"White Sage" frowned. Their presence created a problem; how could the New Corridor be destroyed? It was vital that the Perennial World’s invasion be delayed at least a bit longer.

Lu Yin started to get anxious when he saw a person appear within the New Corridor. Hurry up! Hurry up!

For every moment that he Possessed White Sage’s body, more and more star essence was being consumed.

Before long, a person exited the New Corridor. They were w.a.n.g Shang, the w.a.n.g family powerhouse who had first been sent to the Fifth Mainland through the New Corridor, only to be beaten back by Hui Kong.

Behind w.a.n.g Shang appeared someone who was wearing the robes of an elder from the Celestial Frost Sect. Even if the person was not a six-tribulation Envoy, they had to have at least pa.s.sed four or five tribulations.

One cultivator after another emerged, until more than sixty people had appeared.

The moment that w.a.n.g Shang appeared, he was greeted by the mechanical lifeforms of Sky Creation Academy, and the two parties immediately started discussing something.

From everyone in the group who had arrived from the Perennial World, w.a.n.g Yun was the only person aside from w.a.n.g Shang who had visited the Fifth Mainland before. Thus, most of the newcomers were looking around with a great deal of curiosity. The members of the w.a.n.g family were the only ones who were not particularly curious about the mechanical lifeforms, as they had a long history of interacting with the Technocracy’s Sky Creation Academy as well as the mechanical lifeforms.

For most of the others, this was their first time seeing such bizarre creatures.

Everyone was completely focused on w.a.n.g Shang at this moment, and Lu Yin knew that he could not wait any longer. He had no idea when his star essence stores would be exhausted.

There were numerous powerhouses around, so despite having a power level of over 800,000, it was impossible for White Sage to do anything against the people from the Perennial World. The best option given the current situation would be to a.s.sa.s.sinate someone after sneaking into the group without being detected. Deep Meditation was a terrifying cultivation art used by most of the Sixth Mainland’s a.s.sa.s.sination groups because of how it excelled in making people difficult to detect.

The Green and White Sages had managed to reach their current strength through Deep Meditation as well.

By using White Sage"s memory, Lu Yin easily used Deep Meditation with the Possessed body, and White Sage instantly vanished.

The first person to notice anything at all was Green Sage. He glanced around in confusion; where had White Sage gone?

Right after that, w.a.n.g Shang’s expression changed in the middle of his conversation with the mechanical creatures from Sky Creation Academy. He suddenly turned to look over where w.a.n.g Yun and the rest of the people from the Perennial World were gathered. “Be careful!"

Despite the elder’s sharp warning, w.a.n.g Yun and others did not react. "White Sage" attacked, slapping down a hand upon an entire group of people from the Perennial World. None of those targeted could do anything when attacked by an expert with a power level of over 800,000, including even an Envoy or two who had only pa.s.sed one or two tribulations.

White Sage’s descending palm froze in mid-air, and an angry voice growled, "My Sky Creation Academy was kind enough to take you in, and yet you dare to act like this? You must want to die!"

"White Sage" violently spat out blood, absolutely stunned. As expected of the Technocracy—despite releasing a full-powered attack as an Envoy with a power level of more than 800,000, he had been instantly stopped and incapacitated.

Still, even though the attack had been stopped before it was completed, a powerful shockwave that shattered s.p.a.ce still rippled past many of the people from the Perennial World.

The first people sent over from the Perennial World were not weak by any means, as each of them was at least an Enlighter. However, the shockwave that swept over them was the blocked attack of an Envoy with a power level of over 800,000. Even if it was only a fraction of the attack’s full power, it still was not something that Enlighters could withstand. In particular, it was far beyond w.a.n.g Yun’s capabilities. She had been standing the closest to White Sage when he attacked, and she suffered the strongest part of the shockwave. Her entire body had been crushed, and she had instantly died.

The rest of the shockwave had swept over the rest of the people from the Perennial World, and it killed at least another dozen people, including even an Envoy.

Lu Yin was frustrated by the current situation. He had a.s.sumed that White Sage would be instantly killed, which would have given everyone the impression that he was launching a suicide attack against the Perennial World. Sky Creation Academy would then have a very difficult time explaining the situation, and it would most likely destroy the agreement that had been negotiated.

Fortunately, w.a.n.g Yun had died, so it might be possible to stall the invasion for at least a short while.

After being captured, it was impossible for Lu Yin to commit suicide with White Sage"s body even if he wanted to. Lu Yin prepared to end the Possession, but suddenly, his expression changed. He had just seen someone use one of the Lu family’s inherited techniques: the Hidden Needle.

Some distance away from White Sage, there was a man in the robes of the Celestial Frost Sect. The man opened a hand, and a needle stabbed into his palm, which allowed him to recover from all of his injuries.
