Star Odyssey

Chapter 1580: Disciple

Liu Ye was confused. "Which Progenitor?"

Lu Yin's eye twitched. Apparently, the people of the Perennial World did not know of the Rune Progenitor. "The Rune Progenitor created rune technology, which allows its practitioner to create something out of nothing or weaken their enemy. He established a truly amazing civilization. This person used the Rune Progenitor’s method to attack you, as the method can be used as a battle technique."

Lu Yin then redirected his attention to the Envoy from the Ignition Crew. “"Who ordered Jin He to target Big Sis’s Soldier Crew for members with the Lu surname?"

The man solemnly replied, "Jin He did that on his own. Highsage Leon also questioned us about that matter, but my Ignition Crew had nothing to do with that matter."

Lu Yin’s expression hardened. “Listen carefully. My question is who ordered Jin He to target Big Sis’s Soldier Crew for members under the pretext that having the Lu surname is a crime."

The man clenched a fist. He had traveled to the Neoverse to recruit powerhouses to join the Ignition Crew. The incident that Lu Yin was referring to had actually led to a battle between Leon’s Armada and the Ignition Crew. With the formation of the Great Eastern Alliance, the Ignition Crew had finally gotten some room to catch their breath. They wanted to use this time to grow as large as possible, but unfortunately, they had been discovered by people from Gods’ Origin.

However, it was said that enemies walked a narrow road, and they had also run into Lu Yin.

"Alliance Leader Lu, I’ve already said that that matter was orchestrated entirely by Jin He and that it had nothing to do with my Ignition Crew," the man solemnly declared.

Lu Yin frowned. "Liu Ye, I’ll have to trouble him to deal with him. You’ll be able to completely experience the miraculous method that they use."

Liu Ye's eyes lit up. "Thank you."

The Envoy down below shot back into the true universe, but Liu Ye just sneered. Even if his strength had been weakened, he was still much stronger than his opponent. He truly did want to experience this incredible method for himself. Could something from this Forsaken Land possibly surpass anything from the Perennial World?

Liu Ye attacked. His opponent would not be a problem for him.

The rest of the members of the Ignition Crew were all terrified.

Lu Yin ignored everyone and descended into the city.

The old woman from Gods’ Origin approached him. "Thank you for your help, Alliance Leader Lu."

An old man arrived from elsewhere. He was an Enlighter with a power level of about 300,000. After approaching, the man bowed to Lu Yin. "Many thanks, Alliance Leader Lu, for saving this city. This little old man wishes to offer you thanks on behalf of the millions of people here."

Lu Yin simply ignored the old woman and moved to help the old man stand. "There’s no need for any thanks. Go and get busy—your city has been destroyed, and it will take you some time to clean things up."

The old man was again thankful, and he quickly left. He truly did have a lot that he needed to do.

The old woman's expression was quickly souring, but Lu Yin continued to ignore her and instead focused on an ant.

Finally, he looked over at the old woman. "I didn’t do this to help you, and you don’t even qualify to receive my help."

The old woman's eyes frosted over. "Alliance Leader Lu, are you unwilling to be friends with my Gods’ Origin?"

Lu Yin laughed. "You aren’t able to represent Gods’ Origin."

The old woman was furious, but she suppressed her rage as she was actually scared of Liu Ye. "Since that’s how it is, farewell. I will take the rest of the members of the Ignition Crew with me, unless Alliance Leader Lu feels differently?"

She did not ask Lu Yin to give her the Envoy from the Ignition crew, as she was not an idiot. Lu Yin had not given the people from Gods’ Origin any face when he competed for the Astral Tower in the Mountains and Seas Zone. Aside from his relationship with God Taiyi, Lu Yin could only be seen as not having a hostile relationship with Gods’ Origin. They were certainly not friends.

"As you wish." Lu Yin watched the old woman leave and then stared off into the distance.

It did not take long for Liu Ye to capture the Envoy from the Ignition Crew. The man was severely injured when he was dragged over in front of Lu Yin.

Lu Yin squatted down to look at the man. "Same question as before: who was it?"

The man's face was pale. Blood dripped from the corners of his mouth, and there was a gaping wound on his abdomen. However, he stared at Lu Yin with fierce eyes. "Jin He acted on his own! It had nothing to do with us!"

Lu Yin frowned. He then stepped forward and disappeared. "Get rid of him."

It was not long before their ship resumed its course for the Cosmic Sect.

There were many places in the Neoverse that Lu Yin wanted to visit. He wants to go to the Cosmic Sect to learn the next level of the Cosmic Art, and he also wanted to go see the Mavis family in order to see just how much wealth they really had. Could he get them to lend any to him? He wanted to visit the Seven Courts to see if he could find any records concerning Progenitors. And he also wanted to visit Gods’ Origin to see if he could reach the next level of Truesight.

Lu Yin truly had no spare time, as there was simply too much for him to do.

However, he was not quite as eager to increase his mastery of Truesight, as the technique had many restrictions, and there were places where it could not be used at all.

If it was possible to use Truesight in the Perennial World, Lu Yin would have made sure to visit Gods’ Origin long ago. Jin He had cultivated Truesight to the Knowing realm, and Lu Yin was still jealous of that achievement.

After some time, they arrived in the northern region of the Neoverse, and they soon saw the Cosmic Sect.

Luo Shen clasped a hand over her mouth as she stared on in shock.

Lu Yin had also been completely stunned the first time that he had laid eyes on the Cosmic Sect.

It looked as though countless stars were being held in a hand. This was the Cosmic Sect’s layout, and while it could be described in such a simple manner, there was no way to describe its breathtaking beauty.

Liu Ye voiced his admiration. "It looks quite similar to the Wang family’s home, and they are one of the four ruling powers. However, the Wang family’s home looks as though a severed hand is holding up their land while here, it looks as though an invisible hand is holding the stars as they move through space."

Fei Hua nodded. "I had thought that the Forsaken Land was a cultivating wasteland, but it actually doesn’t seem all that bad."

Liu Ye agreed, "Not only is it not that bad, but it's truly beyond our imagination. You didn't fight that man back there. He was able to create things from absolutely nothing, and he could also weaken my attacks. It's truly amazing. I’ve never even heard of such a method in the Perennial World."

After that, the man looked to Lu Yin. "Was the Rune Progenitor one of the Forsaken Land’s Progenitors?"

"He was a Progenitor whom history dared not record down, and he created a civilization that was also not recorded."

Liu Ye grew emotional. "Creating a civilization is a feat worthy of a Progenitor. I would love to see this Truesight."

Lu Yin smiled. "That person that you fought only cultivated Truesight to the Clarity realm. I once saw a genius who was able to reach the Knowing realm while only an Enlighter. At that level of mastery, he was able to deny certain things from influencing him. Basically, even if he faced an attack that was too strong for him, he could ignore it. And I mean really and truly ignore it as though it did not exist.”

Liu Ye's eyes blazed. "Where is that person? I really want to meet him."

"I killed him."

Liu Ye choked.

Fei Hua became upset. "Then what about everything that you said about him?"

"Just because I killed him doesn’t mean that he wasn’t skilled," Lu Yin retorted.

Luo Shen pursed her lips and snickered; Lu Yin was tooting his own horn, which was entertaining to watch.

With Lu Yin’s present status in the Fifth Mainland, Sect Master Yuan Qiong personally greeted the youth when he arrived at the Cosmic Sect.

Yuan Qiong was accompanied by Elder Yuan Shou, Elder Yao Shan, Elder Yuan Ke, Elder Yuan Miao, and a group of core disciples who all greeted Lu Yin.

Lu Yin hurried over and bowed as soon as he saw Yuan Qiong and others. "Fifth Core Disciple Lu Yin greets the sect master and the elders."

Yuan Qiong was stunned for a moment. He was the sect master, and with his position, he had stepped out to greet the leader of the Outerverse’s Great Eastern Alliance. Lu Yin was the most talented member of his generation in the entire Fifth Mainland. That was the status of someone who was worthy of having the sect master of the Cosmic Sect personally greet him. No core disciple of the sect deserved such treatment! How could the sect master move out for a mere disciple?

Yuan Qiong had moved to welcome Lu Yin on behalf of the Cosmic Sect as a show of recognizing Lu Yin’s status as the leader of the Outerverse and the champion of ZENITH; how was he supposed to react to this greeting?

"Alliance Leader Lu, you were merely an exchange disciple that Eversky Island sent here to study. Your status as the fifth core disciple was forfeited when you left," Elder Yao Shan stated.

Lu Yin spoke in a sincere tone, "I was a disciple of the Cosmic Sect for a day, and so I will remain a disciple of the Cosmic Sect for my entire life. This disciple will never forget the sect’s teachings. This disciple regrets not being able to save Senior Sister in that place."

"Well spoken, and from the heart too. I am also a disciple of the Cosmic Sect," Elder Yuan Shou praised.

Lu Yin bowed yet again.

Yuan Qiong's eyes flickered. No, this was all wrong. Lu Yin’s attitude was too perfect, and he was acting too sincerely. Something had to be wrong.

Even though Yuan Qiong could not put his finger on what the problem was, he kept an eye on Lu Yin. "I won't discuss this matter today. Alliance Leader Lu, you’ve traveled far, so please enter my sect."

Lu Yin quickly responded, "How could I dare to trouble the Sect Master to lead the way for me? That would be inappropriate for this disciple."

Elder Yao Shan's eyes suddenly flickered as a thought occurred to him. "While Alliance Leader Lu is devoted to my Cosmic Sect, which gives me great comfort, you must not call yourself a disciple again, as you are not a real disciple of the Cosmic Sect."

Elder Yuan Shou sighed. "Yao Shan, what are you doing? Lu Yin is showing his sincerity to my Cosmic Sect, and yet you rebuff him? Is this how an elder of the Cosmic Sect should behave? Are you really an elder?"

Elder Yao Shan's face twisted. "Alliance Leader Lu is the leader of the Great Eastern Alliance, as well as the champion of ZENITH. While I truly wish for him to be a disciple of my Cosmic Sect, he is not. My Cosmic Sect does not treat such matters lightly."

"What are you talking about? Lu Yin cultivated in the Cosmic Sect, and he achieved the position of a core disciple through the third method. He is a core disciple of my Cosmic Sect."

"That was merely an exchange program with Eversky Island, and that time has already expired."

"But his heart belongs to my Cosmic Sect."

"There are many people who are devoted to my Cosmic Sect. Are all of them disciples?"

…

Lu Yin pursed his lips and silently listened as the two elders argued. He truly did regard himself as a disciple of the Cosmic Sect, though that was also because he wanted to learn the Cosmic Art. If he was not a disciple of the sect, why would they teach him anything?

"Enough. You are all elders. Be aware of the image that you are presenting!" Yuan Qiong shouted angrily.

Behind the elders, Mu Ziying, Hua Xiao, and others were left completely speechless. Just how was Lu Yin able to stir up so much trouble so fast while also looking completely innocent?

Yao Ji stared at Lu Yin and started to feel twitchy; this bastard absolutely deserved a beating.

Yuan Ke regarded Lu Yin very highly. "Sect Master, it's rare for a child to show such devotion, and he has continued to be loyal to my Cosmic Sect. We can’t treat such a person coldly."

Yuan Qiong looked over at Lu Yin. "Alliance Leader Lu, let's not discuss the matter of your status as being a disciple or not for the moment. Let’s first enter the sect."

Lu Yin nodded. "As Sect Master wishes."

Yuan Qiong knew that Lu Yin could not allow the sect master to be an escort, and Yuan Qiong also wanted to find out what Lu Yin wanted from them. The sect master was assuming that Lu Yin was after the Cosmic Art, but that could not possible. Forget the first three levels of the Cosmic Art—the fourth level required a person to gain access to the thirty six fatal energy centers of the human body, and that was not something that could be shared with outsiders. Quite a while ago, Smoke Eater Peaks had paid a steep price to gain the first level of the Cosmic Art in order to allow Gu Xiao’er to become a Lockbreaker. Who could have imagined that the kid would not live up to expectations and that he would even lose the copy of the Cosmic Art that he had been given?

The Cosmic Sect had always remembered that matter, and the Cosmic Art could not be allowed to spread.

"Who are these two?" Only at that moment did Elder Yuan Shou finally notice Liu Ye and Fei Hua.

Everyone had been so preoccupied with Lu Yin’s disruption that not a single person had noticed Liu Ye or Fei Hua.

The Cosmic Sect was not the same as Aurora Enterprises. The latter was a massive corporation. Since neither of the two Envoys held any value for the company, Aurora Enterprises had not cared about the two. However, the Cosmic Sect was a sect.

"Yuan Qiong was rude and didn't notice the two of you. Please don’t take any offense." Yuan Qiong grew solemn as he apologized to Liu Ye and Fei Hua. This demonstrated the difference between sects and companies.
