Lu Yin had never dreamed he would meet Zhang Dingtian in the Perennial World. Though Lu Yin knew that both Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue had been sucked into Jupiter and he had considered that they had likely entered this universe, he had not expected to meet either of the two, let alone so quickly and so suddenly.
The two young men were both surprised by each other, but their shock lasted only a moment. Long Xi did not notice anything, and Long Kui and the old man were only focused on each other, so no one noticed anything out of the ordinary from Lu Yin or Zhang Dingtian.
The two acted as though they did not recognize each other.
Gui shot towards the orange stripe of the bridge.
Zhang Dingtian averted his gaze. No matter how surprised Lu Yin had been, Zhang Dingtian had been startled far worse. After he and Bai Xue had been sucked into Jupiter and had appeared in this universe, Zhang Dingtian had assumed it would be impossible for him to ever see Lu Yin again, and yet they had seen each other while Zhang Dingtian had been on the Rainbow Bridge.
“Those were people from White Dragon Clan. When you see them in the future, watch yourself. The four ruling powers are not to be ignored.” The old man in front of Zhang Dingtian gave words of caution to the young man.
Zhang Dingtian respectfully accepted such words. “Understood.”
He had not expected that Lu Yin would actually be mixed in with one of the four ruling powers. Zhang Dingtian had been in the Perennial World for years, and thus he was aware of just how intimidating and powerful those four powers were. They were the masters of this universe! Just how had Lu Yin become entangled with those people? He seemed destined to become the center of attention no matter where he went.
Still, regardless of anything else, Zhang Dingtian was very happy to have seen Lu Yin again, as they were friends.
Nothing meant more to a person than meeting a friend when in a foreign country.
Elsewhere, Long Xi voiced her curiosity, “Who was that standing behind Senior Liu? I don’t think I’ve seen him before.”
Long Kui explained, “The Liu family is very strange. Every generation they have many people who will spend their entire lives guarding their sword monument and who will never leave that place. No one knows what sort of foundation the Liu family might have, so it’s not unexpected for you not to know him.”
“For him to be able to follow behind Master Yijian, the young man is definitely not weak,” Long Xi said.
Long Kui smiled as he replied, “No matter what, he can’t compare to you, Princess. No matter how extraordinary their sword monument might be, they are not able to compare to one of the four ruling powers.”
Long Xi nodded. This was undeniable.
Lu Yin was left somewhat speechless after hearing their conversation; was everyone with the Liu surname connected to the sword? Back in the Fifth Mainland, the Liu family had founded the Sword Sect and were the masters of the universe’s most powerful sword technique: the Thirteen Swords. In the Perennial World, the Liu family had a sword monument, which was enough that even the White Dragon Clan took note of it.
“Is their sword monument that amazing?” Lu Yin asked.
Long Kui did not respond.
Long Xi said, “Their sword monument is something from ancient times. It is said that it holds the best sword technique to ever belong to humanity, and that it has always been guarded by the Liu family. No one knows if that legend is true or not, but the Liu family does indeed frequently demonstrate incredible swordsmanship. The Liu family is indisputably the master of the sword in this Perennial World.”
Lu Yin understood. “So the Liu family is quite powerful, but they’re still not able to enter the Higher Realm and reach the level of the four ruling powers? So our White Dragon clan is even better.”
Long Kui laughed, as this was a pleasant thing to hear. “That’s naturally the case, as their sword monument was left behind by the ancient Wu Tian, so it is clearly something beyond belief. Wu Tian was the one who set the precedent of human beings using weapons, so how could that monument be only something for swordsmanship? Wu Tian was one of the first of the ancient human Progenitors, so how could something from him be able to easily be passed down all the way until now?”
Everyone would like to hear compliments, and as soon as Lu Yin praised the White Dragon Clan, Long Kui had immediately offered up extra information.
Wu Tian? One of the most ancient Progenitors? There had actually been a powerhouse who had set the precedent for humans to use weapons? That was the ancient past, so was it possible to have been from the same era as the God of Death?
Long Xi commented, “Wu Tian existence alone is already a legend. There are no historical records to support his existence. It’s possible that Wu Tian was a spirit, a symbol, or even the name of a specific era.”
“That is indeed true. There are numerous legends about the ancient Progenitors, but very few can be confirmed. Wu Tian, Destiny, the God of Death, and even the Origin Progenitor who created humanity are all uncertain. The only thing that can be confirmed is Lu-” Suddenly, Long Kui cut off his words and would not say anything further.
Long Xi’s body trembled, but she remained silent.
