Chapter 710: Possession Again

In Adonis Weave, after Darkstar Gorge was destroyed, Greenpeak Gorge had suddenly become the leading power of the weave. In the past, it had always been thoroughly suppressed by Darkstar Gorge without an opportunity to stand out. However, after Elder Wu was dealt with by Lu Yin, many powers had denounced Darkstar Gorge, and Greenpeak Gorge had risen up. The powers that had denounced Darkstar Gorge had practically all been tied to them.

Greenpeak Gorge had been much more sincere than Darkstar Gorge, and after they became the weave’s leading power, they had immediately contacted the Great Yu Empire and taken the initiative to join the Great Eastern Alliance. They had taken very proactive moves, but they had also agreed to cooperate with the Vastdearth Sect—they were actually double-crossing Lu Yin. 

When they learned that Lu Yin had relocated the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society to Frostwave Weave, they immediately cut off all relations with the Vastdearth Sect and also sent a bunch of resources to the Great Yu Empire. They then used all sorts of excuses to continuously send gifts over, to the extent where even En Ya and the others were embarrassed by Greenpeak Gorge’s behavior. 

Although Greenpeak Gorge appeared to be very enthusiastic, En Ya still placed them on the “unreliable” list of alliance members. She felt that the Great Yu Empire had to be on guard against this power even more than against the Vastdearth Sect, as Greenpeak Gorge was too willing to change sides. 

The Six-Fingered Tribe was the one that cared about the events on Sourcepeak Planet the most, as the Armament Weave was the Six-Fingered Tribe’s greatest enemy in the west. The two powers had been mortal enemies for countless years, and the Wei family’s hands were stained with the blood of the Six-Fingered Tribe while the Six-Fingered Tribe had similarly massacred countless members of the Wei family. 

When they learned that Yi Feng had joined the Wei family and had also brought a bunch of Lockbreakers with him, the Six-Fingered Tribe had started panicking. They had been worried that the Wei family would use those Lockbreakers to boost their strength. In reality, they were not merely worried, as such a thing would absolutely occur; otherwise, the Wei family would not have gathered the Lockbreakers to their weave. 

It was good for them that Lu Yin had moved the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society to Frostwave Weave, and it reassured the Six-Fingered Tribe that they were not inferior in any way. 

In order to counteract the threat posed by the Wei family, the Six-Fingered Tribe decided to sincerely join the Great Eastern Alliance. Only the alliance could protect them from the Wei family’s suppression since only Lu Yin had the ability to control the Lockbreakers that were supporting the Wei family. 

Thus, currently, the most sincere supporters of the Great Eastern Alliance were the Lars Weave and the Grandtop Weave. The Nine Stacks Sect of the Grandtop Weave was actually a puppet of Lu Yin’s, and the other powers in that weave had no influence and were forced to listen to him. 

There was still Darkmist Weave, and aside from Shenwu Continent, the weave’s most terrifying power was Mafioso Planet. Although Mafioso Planet could not openly join the Great Eastern Alliance, Lu Yin had control over the bespectacled Limiteer Mistchild, which meant that this power also supported Lu Yin. 

The events of Sourcepeak Planet soon spread throughout the eastern weaves, and the most discernible change was that the Great Eastern Alliance’s relationships grew more stable.

Lu Yin quickly learned that the various great powers of the eastern weaves had given up on their collaboration and that they were prepared to truly join the Great Eastern Alliance, which allowed him to finally relax. It was best to take on less difficulties. 

“Your Highness, the Six-Fingered Tribe wishes to request military support from the Great Eastern Alliance. They are mortal enemies with Armament Weave, and now that Armament Weave has been reinforced by a group of Lockbreakers, they are worried that the Wei family will take this opportunity to invade Lars Weave,” En Ya said. 

Lu Yin acknowledged the request. “Tell them that, based on the terms of the alliance contract, the Allied Forces were established to protect the alliance members. There’s no need for them to worry about this.” 

“Yes,” En Ya replied as her eyes lit up. Uniting all seventy two weaves of the Outerverse had long since been a dream of Grand Marshal Shui Chuanxiao. Now that he was imprisoned in Gaia’s Swamp and could not come out, she wanted to be the one to help him achieve that dream. She had initially joined the Great Yu Empire because she had nowhere else to go, but now, she saw a true hope of uniting the Outerverse.

This man in front of her had the ability, ambition, and the destiny. Not a single one of these conditions could be missing when attempting to unite the Outerverse, and Lu Yin was even a natural Outerverse denizen. When considering the possibility of uniting the Outerverse, he was more suitable than Shui Chuanxiao had ever been. 

At this moment, Lu Yin’s gadget beeped with a notification, and he glanced at it. He then waved at En Ya, asking her to withdraw. He lightly tapped his gadget, causing Elder Lohar’s image to appear on the screen. He smiled at Lu Yin. “Kid, I heard that something big happened on Sourcepeak Planet.” 

Lu Yin replied in a respectful tone, “Somebody ambushed the Hall of Insight, and Vice President Saul was exposed in a scandal. It really was not a small matter.”

Elder Lohar said, “I’m not talking about that. Although the Lockbreaker Society is a subsidiary of the Hall of Honor, we cannot intervene in its matters. When Ironblood Weave was in desperate straits, the Lockbreaker Society similarly did not bother moving for us, and this feeling is mutual. I am speaking about what happened after everything else.” 

Lu Yin’s eyes flashed. “Are you talking about that box?”

Elder Lohar nodded and then solemnly said, “You did well. That box is not only very important to the Lockbreaker Society, but it is also just as important to our Hall of Honor. Not allowing it to be stolen is extremely fortunate. Do you know who it was that tried to steal the box?”

“A Corpse King,” Lu Yin answered sternly.

Elder Lohar nodded. “That’s right, a Corpse King who had been hidden on Sourcepeak Planet for many years. Because of their fear for President Geoffrey, that creature had always remained hidden, but it exposed itself due to the events that occurred on Sourcepeak Planet this time. If not for Vice President Li’s sacrifice and your assistance, nobody would have been able to stop him. Kid, since you’ve taken the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society to Frostwave Weave, that box will also end up in Frostwave Weave. Are you confident in being able to protect it?”

Lu Yin fell silent, as this was a troubling matter that he had considered before. However, he could not give up on the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society just because of this issue.

“The Outerverse Lockbreaker Society will decline both due to the Outerverse being isolated from the Innerverse and because of President Geoffrey’s absence. Now, the two Vice Presidents and two Executives have also left, leaving the Society even more powerless today than it was before, which gave you the opportunity to take them to Frostwave Weave. You will have to bear this responsibility while also receiving the Lockbreakers’ aid. If that box is stolen by the Neohuman Alliance while the Society is under your supervision, then your transgression will be enormous,” Elder Lohar solemnly cautioned. 

Lu Yin looked at the old man. “This junior will do my utmost to safeguard that box.”

Elder Lohar acknowledged Lu Yin’s response and seemed pleased. “Good attitude. Rest assured, the Hall of Honor will keep an eye on things as well, and we will not be careless. However, the Neohuman Alliance is everywhere, and their roots run deep. You must do your utmost to protect that box.”

“Yes, Elder,” Lu Yin respectfully replied. He then looked expectantly at Elder Lohar. “Can this junior ask what is inside that box?” 

Elder Lohar shook his head, “I don’t know.”

Lu Yin pursed his lips, as he did not believe the old man.

Elder Lohar forced a smile onto his face. “I know that you don’t believe me, but I truly don’t know what it contains. The separation of the Innerverse and Outerverse was just too sudden. Before this, I had no interactions with the Lockbreaker Society, so I don’t even know what their Hall of Insight held, much less that box. However, the Hall of Honor’s records state that the box is in the Outerverse, that it is one of the most valuable items in the universe, and that it must be protected. Hence, I merely know that it must be safeguarded.” 

Lu Yin then understood.

“Kid, I urge you not to even think about what’s in that box. There are times when it’s not a good thing to know too much,” Elder Lohar warned.

Lu Yin promptly replied, “This junior is busy with the matters of the Great Eastern Alliance, and I’m under a great deal of pressure. Thus, I have no spare time to investigate such secrets. Elder can rest assured.”

“Okay, that’s great. Right, have you been to the Daosource Sect’s ruins recently?” Elder Lohar asked.

Lu Yin shook his head. “Not recently, no.”

Elder Lohar solemnly said, “Kid, the Daosource Sect’s ruins contain the ultimate inheritances of our Fifth Mainland, and the path for you to strengthen yourself lies in there. When you become a powerhouse, not to mention a puny Great Eastern Alliance, you will even be able to obtain the entire Outerverse. Don’t neglect the basics.”

Lu Yin answered seriously, “This junior understands and will follow Senior’s advice.”

Elder Lohar nodded and ended the call.

“Seventh Bro, that old fart is right. If you can obtain a Progenitor’s inheritance from the Daosource Sect, then uniting the Outerverse would be nothing huge, and the Hall of Honor might even help you in that case,” the Ghost Monkey said. “But you can’t enter it for now, as it’s become a battlefield that’s beyond terrifying.” 

Lu Yin was not in a good mood. “Even if it’s not a battlefield, we can’t go there too frequently. Do you think that a Progenitor’s inheritance is something that can be easily obtained there? Just one look at that White Knight woman and I know that she’s scheming something. It seems that she wants to take advantage of me to obtain a Progenitor’s inheritance. It’s possible that she’s been waiting there for me all this time. Going there now is no different than courting death.” 

“Right, we don’t have to listen to him,” the monkey agreed.

Regardless of whether it was Elder Lohar, the Ghost Monkey, or anyone else in this region of the universe, no one knew that, once Lu Yin united the entire Outerverse and integrated all of its resources, he would be able to explosively upgrade his strength. Lu Yin did not feel like it would be a stretch to say that, after doing so, he would even be able to take on a group of old monsters whose power levels were between 300,000 to 400,000, and he might even dare to mess with Envoys. This was his fastest way to improve his strength.

He could not let go of the battle technique that was in that cauldron in the Daosource Sect. He could obviously comprehend it, but he still couldn’t go back, which was the most frustrating part. 

The Nine Cauldrons’ battle techniques would be unrivalled once they were combined into one, and that thought made Lu Yin feel twitchy. Perhaps the Stonewall Scriptures would allow him to comprehend all of the Nine Cauldrons’ battle techniques, which would be perfect.

He would wait a bit longer, as although the battles between the Ten Arbiters and the Realmlings would not end quickly, they also could not carry on forever. After a sufficient period of time, he would be able to safely reenter the Daosource Sect ruins. 

Upon thinking of battle techniques, Lu Yin screened the monkey off and retrieved his die. It was time to cultivate again, and he planned to spend some time cultivating Finger Tap technique. If he could consecutively unleash his Dream Finger, then his battle strength would undergo a tremendous improvement, and improving his strength was indeed the most pressing goal. 

As he thought about it, Lu Yin went to a secret room and tapped his die. It slowly stopped spinning as one pip appeared. There was a thump as a single star crystal fell out. 

Lu Yin was left speechless, and he simply crushed the crystal to restore his die before rolling it again. He rolled one pip again, and this time, a weapon dropped out. Lu Yin exerted a slight bit of force before it shattered. He threw the bits to the side and continued. 

Third roll: one pip yet again.

Lu Yin had no choice, as his luck this time proved to be rather bad. He had rolled nothing but ones.

A thick journal fell out this time, and he casually flipped through it. It was signed by Ellen Gale. 

He placed the journal to the side as well. He refused to believe his luck would continue to be bad, and he quickly rolled the die once again. He had one more chance left, and he felt that he should be able to roll four pips: Timestop, as this roll usually appeared without much difficulty. 

However, this time, the die landed on six pips, and Lu Yin’s heart skipped a beat. This wasn’t good, as he had forgotten to remove his cosmic ring. The scenery before his eyes flashed before he reappeared in the strange space where balls of light sped past him on either side. 

Lu Yin felt helpless, and he quickly stopped to look around. There were some balls that were burning brightly while others were rather dim. Those that burned the brightest were similar to him in terms of cultivation or some other aspect. He didn’t dare stay in this space for too long, as the longer he stayed, the faster the star essence in his cosmic ring would be burned away. He paused and surveyed his surroundings before quickly finding the brightest ball of light. He dashed towards it and immediately merged with it. 

There was an eye-dazzling flash of light, and Lu Yin slowly opened his eyes as memories flooded into his consciousness.

It didn’t take him long to stand up, glance around, and then look down at his hands. He had possessed someone called Tong Chou, who was just a Limiteer. How could a light ball that represented a mere Limiteer have given off such a bright radiance? This had to be a lie!
