Lu Yin blinked. "So are you saying that I’ve reached the level of the Three Realms and Six Dao?"
Big Sis rolled her eyes and answered in a mocking tone, "Go ahead and dream. I was merely shocked by what you just did. If you want to stand at the same level as the Three Realms and Six Dao, then you need to at least become a Progenitor first. Of course, you’re nowhere near their level right now. Any one of the Three Realms and Six Dao could deal with you in seconds without even needing to attack.”
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Then what's going on with me?"
Big Sis gave him an odd look. "Who knows? I can't make any sense of your cultivation. Based on what we’re seeing right now, it’s possible that your cultivation is following the same path as the Three Realms and Six Dao. If that’s true, then, Little Seven, you might be overtaking them in one very small aspect."
Lu Yin was speechless. Overtaking them in a small aspect? That was definitely not what it was, or rather, not just that.
If Lu Yin was following the same cultivation path as the Three Realms and Six Dao, then Mister Mu would have understood Lu Yin’s cultivation. However, the universe that Lu Yin was cultivating had surprised Mister Mu, and it seemed to be far more bizarre than anything the Three Realms and Six Dao had ever done.
"Long ago, I helped bury one of the Seven Skygods in the Third Mainland. To thank me, that old guy Gu Yizhi shared a few words with me. Do you want to hear them?" Big Sis asked in a tempting manner.
Lu Yin was intrigued. "Of course."
Big Sis thought for a moment. "It's easy to stab someone, but it's not easy to want others to stab you."
The two gazed at each other, neither one speaking.
"That’s all?"
"That’s all."
"Just that one sentence?"
"How much do you want?"
"Then, do you understand that, Big Sis?"
"Bullshit, when did I have time to try to understand that? Right after I was told that, I was tricked by that bastard, Ce Wangtian, and almost died in the river of time. As soon as I opened my eyes and regained my memories, I was looking at you."
Lu Yin felt embarrassed. "Should I ask Ancestor Lu Yuan?"
Big Sis smiled. "He’s your ancestor, not mine. Go ahead and ask."
Lu Yin smiled. "Alright. I'll tell you what he tells me."
Big Sis felt satisfied, and she gave Lu Yin a look of admiration.
"By the way, Big Sis, have you ever heard of a realm of cultivation beyond the Progenitor realm?" Lu Yin asked again.
Big Sis's eyes flickered. "I have."
Lu Yin stared at her.
"The Origin Progenitor is beyond the Progenitor realm," Big Sis continued.
Lu Yin pressed further, "What is that realm called?"
Big Sis raised a finger. "Origin."
Lu Yin blurted, "The Origin realm?"
"It should be. That’s what I heard from the ancestor of the Mavis family when I was on the Second Mainland. Even though we don’t have a great relationship, I still spoke to her occasionally."
Lu Yin started thinking—the Origin realm? He remembered what he had heard about the Mirary Realm and the nine words that he had been told. “Ascend to the Origin realm. Overcome Dukkha. Gain immortality.” Were those nine words related to this Origin realm?
"Use the power that you just showed me again. I thought of something that I want to try," Big Sis suddenly asked.
Lu Yin released his independent universe again. It had to be said that while Lu Yin’s universe drove back the Origin Universe, the dark depths of the Hollow that appeared was very beautiful, and it shrouded Lu Yin within an absolute darkness.
Big Sis looked up and raised her hands as she released her abyssal power. Lu Yin used Heaven’s Sight and saw that the abyssal power was empowered with sequence particles.
The abyssal power blasted towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin stared intently. If Big Sis wanted to strike Lu Yin with an attack, she needed to break through his universe that surrounded his body, but before that, she needed to push past the Hollow that separated Lu Yin’s universe from the Origin Universe.
As soon as the abyssal power touched the Hollow, Lu Yin's expression changed. Through Heaven’s Sight he clearly saw that the sequence particles of the abyssal power was being devoured by the Hollow.
Big Sis lowered her hands and let out a breath. "As I expected."
Lu Yin was stunned. "Big Sis, what just happened?"
Big Sis gave Lu Yin a look of envy. "The Hollow gives you a way to block sequence particles. Congratulations, Little Seven. From now on, Sequence Progenitors will only be able to deal minimal damage to you."
Lu Yin's eyes went wide, and he became ecstatic. "Really?"
Big Sis blew out a long breath. "Throughout history, just how many people have managed to become Sequence Progenitors? At best, one Semi-Progenitor out of a hundred can become a Progenitor, and only one out of ten Progenitors can become a Sequence Progenitor. Even then, there are strong and weak Sequence Progenitors. Your sister’s a relatively strong Sequence Progenitor, while Shao Yin is rather weak. Even if he had not been stripped of his power by the Great Sovereign, the damage that his sequence particles could do to you would be negligible if you two fought now.
"I heard that you survived your Semi-Progenitor tribulation by enduring lightning that had sequence particles. Even if someone’s sequence particles are able to break past the Hollow and hit you, the damage that you would suffer will be almost nothing, which is beyond amazing."
Lu Yin had never considered this possibility, that the Hollow that appeared around his own universe to repel the natural universe would also protect him from sequence particles. Even if some sequence particles were able to break through the Hollow and attack him, if he also took out his Wordless Heavenly Book to shield him further, how much would be left after all of that? Would such an attack even do anything?
When Lu Yin had faced Old Mo, the man’s darkness sequence particles had rendered Lu Yin helpless, and he had been worried about what he would do if he ever faced a Sequence Progenitor again.
Finally, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Big Sis saw Lu Yin visibly relaxing, and she immediately warned him, "Don't underestimate Sequence Progenitors. Anyone who can reach that level is exceptional, and even if they lose their sequence particles, they will still be very powerful. Even if they don’t have access to their sequence particles, they remain very powerful. If I wanted to attack at full power, I could force my way through the Hollow and injure you, or even kill you.
"For anyone as strong as the Seven Skygods or the Three Realms and Six Dao, if even a few of their sequence particles manage to force their way through the Hollow, you won’t be able to do anything. You cannot become careless, Little Seven."
Lu Yin nodded. "Don't worry, Big Sis. I’ll be careful."
He would never be able to forget the sight of when Forgotten Ruins God had attacked him during the Tea Ceremony.
Even a few insignificant sequence particles had been enough to leave Lu Yin completely helpless. After that, the woman had left Lu Yin utterly powerless even without using sequence particles.
Such a powerhouse was among the most powerful in existence.
