Chapter 1904: The Legend Of The Origin Progenitor

Kui Luo tried to remember for a bit before finally slapping himself in the head. "The Celestial Frost Sect’s Bai Xian'er!"

Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "Bai Xian'er?"

Kui Luo grew solemn. "When she became an Envoy, her phenomenon created a sensation that spread throughout the entire Perennial World, and the Mother Tree even swayed. That incident prompted a massive attack from Aeternus, and countless Redbacks raced over to the Celestial Frost Sect to kill her. Your phenomenon was clearly no smaller than hers, and likely was even bigger. You’re in hot water now, as the Perennial World witnessed your phenomenon and they’ll never let you go now."

Lu Yin replied, "I know. That’s why I’ve got some people keeping an eye on Sky Creation Academy."

“The Aeternals will never allow you to get away, either," Kui Luo warned.

Lu Yin was not too worried about that. While his talent and strength might be enough to make the Aeternals wary, the stronger he became, the greater his chances when fighting the four ruling powers.

"Don't worry about that too much. That's something for me to worry about later. Help me resolve this war for now," Lu Yin encouraged.

Kui Luo rolled his eyes again. "This is ridiculous! How can such a tiny war be of any importance to you?"

Lu Yin shrugged. "There’s no way out of it. This region has to be protected."

Kui Luo’s mind became filled with thoughts of how Lu Yin's breakthrough had produced a phenomenon. The more the old man thought about it, the more unhappy he became. This whole thing should be Lu Yin’s problem, and yet Kui Luo somehow found himself getting worked up about it and even dragged in. This was not how he usually handled things. He deliberately chose his next words, "By the way, there’s something I need to tell you as well."

"What’s that?" Lu Yin grew curious.

Kui Luo spoke in an exaggeratedly casual tone, "It's not a big deal, but when I visited the Daosource Sect, I found a statue that should be of the legendary Origin Progenitor. The Sixth Mainland’s three Progenitors often worship that statue."

Lu Yin thought he must have misheard. "Say that again?"

The corners of Kui Luo's mouth curled up into a smile, and his voice grew proud. "It's nothing. It’s just a minor detail."

Lu Yin was stunned. "The three Progenitors all worship this statue? How could that possibly be a minor detail?

“Oh, and what’s the Origin Progenitor?"

Kui Luo was taken aback. "You don't know?"

Lu Yin shook his head and then glanced over at the Second Nightking, who also had a blank look on his face.

Kui Luo sighed in disappointment. "Both of you are severely lacking in education! How can you both be so ignorant? One of you’s a direct descendant of the Lu family and even inherited the God of Death’s power, while the other’s lived longer than anyone?"

The old man cleared his throat and took some time internally organizing his explanation. "Listen carefully: legends claim that the Origin Progenitor lived at the dawn of humanity. I have no idea if he was the first person to live, or simply the first person who cultivated. Regardless, there are various versions of the legends.

"The story says that this Origin Progenitor founded the Daosource Sect and became the first human Progenitor. He spread his wisdom to countless people, which paved the way for human civilization to practice cultivation. Years later, powerful Progenitors such as the God of Death, Destiny, and Wu Tian rose to power.





“Whenever new generations of cultivators step onto their path, they are supposed to worship the Origin Progenitor, as he is the foundation of all of humanity’s faith.

"When exploring the Daosource Sect, I found a statue that had a giant python wrapped around the figure’s waist, as well as an eagle perched on his shoulders. That is very similar to the image painted by the legends, and it was also enshrined in the deepest regions of the Daosource Sect. This makes it very likely that it was a statue of the Origin Progenitor."

Lu Yin and the Second Nightking were both stunned by this story. The legends they had heard regarding the God of Death and Destiny had already been exaggerated enough, and if it were not for the fact that traces of those two Ancient Progenitors’ power still existed, Lu Yin would struggle to accept that such people had ever lived. However, he was being told an even more ancient legend about some Origin Progenitor who founded human cultivation and even established the Daosource Sect. It sounded as though this person had created the known universe.

"Did the Origin Progenitor really live?" the Second Nightking asked. He was unable to shake off his disbelief.



Kui Luo shrugged. "That’s what the legends say, but how would I know for sure? You can try asking the Sixth Mainland’s three Progenitors. They should believe in whoever it is they’re worshiping."

The Second Nightking nearly choked at hearing those words.

"Actually, you’ve lived longer than anyone, and I even heard that you were around before the Mother Tree was taken from the Forsaken Land. So why don't you know anything?" Kui Luo asked the Second Nightking with open contempt.

The Second Nightking’s face twitched. The history of his Daynight clan was not something glorious. During those ancient times, they had been an obscure clan that had been enslaved to the Bai family.

"But do you believe they did?" Lu Yin asked. This legend about the Origin Progenitor sounded more like fantasy. It defied belief that there was such a powerhouse from a time before even the God of Death.

Kui Luo said, "It doesn’t matter if I believe it or not, as it doesn’t make any difference. Even if the man did exist, he would have died ages ago. Supposedly, he’s the one who planted the Mother Tree, but who knows?"

Even legends could be categorized into different levels.

For ordinary people, cultivators who were able to tear through space, enter the void, or move mountains and seas were seen as legends.

For cultivators, the inner worlds that Semi-Progenitors possessed were legends.

So, what would be a legend for a Semi-Progenitor? The God of Death and Destiny could both be considered legends, as could the Origin Progenitor.

Legends might be true, but such things were at a level that was too far removed from people that they simply could not believe them.

If the Origin Progenitor had truly existed, how strong had he been? There had to be a reason for that statue to be enshrined within the Daosource Sect.

The oldest organization in the universe was not the Hall of Honor, nor the Perennial World’s four ruling powers, but rather the Daosource Sect. Even after the Sixth Mainland had been separated from other Mainlands, the Daosource Sect’s legacy that had been passed down from time immemorial had continued. No one could know just how long that statue had existed.

Progenitor Chen had been considered to be invincible, yet other Progenitors had never worshiped him.

Since the Origin Progenitor had worshippers, the legends might just be true.



Shockwaves from the Semi-Progenitors’ battle swept through the Primal Zone and Ironblood Weave. Even with Herb Immortal cooperating with Xue Laogui to fight Yao Di, the two humans were still being overpowered. The Cloud Valley Master and others who were watching were forced to retreat time and time again, and fear filled their hearts.

"Have you discovered any traces of Xu Qing and the invasion force?" A voice spoke up.

Those watching the battle looked over and became ecstatic when they saw who had just spoken. "Lan Xian?"

Lan Xian stared eastwards. Yao Di's strength was beyond terrifying. Herb Immortal and Xue Laogui would not be able to endure for much longer, and she was getting anxious to join them.

Xue Laogui’s presence was a lucky happenstance, as it was clear that it would have been impossible for Lan Xian and Herb Immortal to have put up any sort of resistance against Yao Di.

"Nothing’s been discovered yet, but they are definitely on their way back to the Astral Beast Domain, and they will have to pass through the Primal Zone," the Cloud Valley Master answered respectfully.

Lan Xian's eyes flashed. "Get the Great Eastern Alliance to join this war."

The Cloud Valley Master felt puzzled. "The Great Eastern Alliance?"

Lan Xian replied, "Offer them permanent control of the eastern weaves as an incentive to work with us. Then, after Xu Qing and his horde are destroyed, we will take those weaves back."

The Cloud Valley Master and the others felt thoroughly confused. They had previously provided Lu Yin with assistance and had allowed him to take the eastern weaves, so why were they suddenly changing things and trying to act against the Great Eastern Alliance at this time?

Lan Xian silently stifled her annoyance. She had been deceived. When Lu Yin had forced the Sixth Mainland to take over the war against the invading astral beasts, he had used Progenitor Wushang's hide as leverage. At that time, Lan Xian had believed that the Great Eastern Alliance was trying to leave, and thus the Sixth Mainland had threatened to leave the Great Eastern Alliance with the eastern weaves in order to make Lu Yin suffer. Lan Xian had never considered that Lu Yin would have no intention of leaving the eastern weaves at all. Everything he had done had been part of an elaborate plot.

She had believed she could control Lu Yin, but instead had ended up falling into his trap. She had actually personally delivered the eastern weaves into his possession.

As these thoughts flashed through her mind, Lan Xian could not help regretting her previous choices.

Lu Yin had wanted to use Progenitor Wushang's hide to entice the Sixth Mainland into killing Xu Qing, but Lan Xian had only been able to understand the truth of the matter after she had seen the Astral Beast Domain successfully push their invasion into Tyrannical Weave while the Great Eastern Alliance made no moves at all.

That Lu Yin was a vile bastard!

Lan Xian had never felt so frustrated. From the moment she had first started cultivating, her natural talent had attracted the attention of the Daosource Sect. That had eventually led to her becoming one of the Daosource Three Skies of her generation, and eventually reaching the realm of a Semi-Progenitor. It was only a matter of time before she obtained some Origin Matter for herself and became a Progenitor. Everything had been going so well for her throughout her entire life, and it was impossible for her to even imagine that everything could be ruined by a single junior.

A flinty glint appeared in Lan Xian's eyes. "Find a way to force the Great Eastern Alliance to join the fighting. Those eastern weaves need to be ours."

After she spoke, cherry blossoms filled the sky and she stepped out to join the Semi-Progenitors’ battle.

A twinkle appeared in the Cloud Valley Master’s eyes as he watched Lan Xian leave. Apparently, the Progenitor of Bloodlines no longer intended to take Lu Yin as a disciple. There was no other reason for a Semi-Progenitor’s attitude towards Lu Yin to have changed so much. The kid was again the Sixth Mainland’s enemy.

The Cloud Valley Master had always disliked Lu Yin, so he was glad to have a justifiable reason to act against the youth. Still, it was not yet the right time. Dealing with both the Astral Beast Domain and the Great Eastern Alliance simultaneously would be too difficult. The Fifth Mainland possessed the greatest number of Semi-Progenitors, so the Sixth Mainland would avoid such a war if at all possible.

The first thing to do was to force the Great Eastern Alliance onto the current battlefield. They would then wait until Xu Qing and his horde were wiped out and Ironblood Weave’s position was stabilized. Only then could the Sixth Mainland turn its focus onto the Great Eastern Alliance. The Outerverse had already been given to the Sixth Mainland, so it was reasonable for them to take the eastern weaves back. The rest of the Fifth Mainland had no right to interfere in the situation.

Yao Di was still at the Primal Zone’s border, and he showed a trace of surprise. "Three Semi-Progenitors? The Sixth Mainland truly thinks quite highly of me."

Herb Immortal was already completely exhausted, and his face was pale. As for Xue Laogui, there was an ugly expression on his face. Lan Xian stood between the two men and just in front of them. While she was the youngest of them all, she had once been one of her generation’s Daosource Three Skies, she possessed a powerful innate gift, and had already opened two meridian points. She was stronger than even Xue Laogui.

"Yao Di, since we’ve decided to attack your Astral Beast Domain, there’s no reason for us to retreat," Lan Xian stated. The sound of her three-stringed instrument resounded through the space that was filled with cherry blossoms.

Yao Di’s eyes tightened with focus. The astral beasts with Xu Qing could not be lost! If they were eliminated, the Astral Beast Domain would not gain the strength to attempt another invasion of the Outerverse for at least 10,000 years. "Leave the Primal Zone, or else we will all die."

He then raised a hand and his spiritual force converged to form black dots that shot to attack Lan Xian.

An instant later, four Semi-Progenitors were locked in a battle that shook the very universe.

The Cloud Valley Master and the other powerhouses led the rest of the Sixth Mainlanders to fall back even further from the fight, and the Cloud Valley Master also took this opportunity to call Lu Yin.

Lu Yin found it odd that the Cloud Valley Master would call as soon as Lu Yin had arrived in the asteroid field. What reason could this man be calling Lu Yin for?

"Alliance Leader Lu, Yao Di has brought reinforcements, and they are about to meet with Xu Qing. We don’t have the strength to stop them from doing so. We would like to ask the Great Eastern Alliance for its support. In exchange, we will offer you the eastern weaves," the Cloud Valley Master spoke bluntly.

Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "I saw that some Semi-Progenitor have gone to the Primal Zone. Not even three Semi-Progenitors are able to stop Yao Di and his reinforcements?"

"They’re struggling. Yao Di's strength is unfathomable, and the Celestial Beast Empire has several experts with power levels of over a million supporting them on the battlefield. If Xu Qing and his forces are added to the mix, we won’t be able to stop them," the Cloud Valley Master said with clear frustration.

Lu Yin hesitated.

"Don’t you want the eastern weaves, Alliance Leader Lu? If we lose here, we will no longer have the strength to defend Ironblood Weave. If that happens, your Great Eastern Alliance will be forced to fight against the astral beasts anyways, so why not work with us now to defeat the Astral Beast Domain in one fell swoop?" Confidence filled the Cloud Valley Master’s voice.

Lu Yin frowned. "Your Sixth Mainland still possesses more than enough strength to reinforce the battlefield."

The Cloud Valley Master sounded helpless as he continued. "I don't know where you heard that, but right now, my Sixth Mainland is fractured from internal conflicts, so it’s impossible for any reinforcements to be sent at this time. Alliance Leader Lu, I wouldn’t ask you for your help if I could get any other reinforcements. I’m begging you, please help us."

For a Cosmic Imprinter to literally beg for help, it seemed that the man was truly without any other options.

"You’re in a tough place, Senior," Lu Yin expressed his sympathies.
