However, Master Shan was not the same as he had been in the past. Black energy spread out in lines that seemed to solidify the illusory mountain, and that mountain shot forward and slammed into Destina.
Lu Yin was curious to see what level of power Master Shan would be able to exert with the energy converter.
Destina retaliated, and a thread of Destiny’s power shot forward to pierce the mountain, only to be rebuffed, much to her shock.
How was that possible? She could feel the strength of a Progenitor from that mountain. “Are you a Progenitor?"
Master Shan took a step forward, and Destina was pushed back.
Lu Yin called out as Destina was forced away, "Don't go spreading wild stories, or else you’ll never learn anything about Destiny."
Destina felt terribly conflicted and increasingly confused by Lu Yin. He had shown that he was capable of snapping one of her threads without relying on any external powers to reach the Progenitor-level, and he was also hiding a new Progenitor powerhouse.
Where had Master Shan gained that strength?
Regardless of whether Destina was willing to admit it, the Heavens Sect was growing stronger and stronger as time passed.
Unless Destina wanted to endanger the entire Origin Universe, there was no way she could leak anything about Lu Yin.
On the other hand, Skymender was much easier to deal with. Just a glance from Lu Yin sent the astral beast away, and he dragged Xiao Shi along with him.
"Senior Skymender, that little sister has such a rotten personality," Xiao Shi quietly mentioned to Skymender.
Skymender quickly shushed the young man.
Even so, Destina overheard the comment, and she glared at Xiao Shi. "Where is the Book of Destiny?"
Just as Xiao Shi was about to answer, Skymender covered the man’s mouth and replied, "The Dao Monarch has it."
Destina’s eyes narrowed.
At this moment, Zhao Ran arrived, and she happily distributed a few cups of herbal tea that she had prepared, not knowing which of the people present were guests who should receive refreshments.
Xiao Shi stared at Zhao Ran in surprise, and his eyes grew wide. He then followed after the girl.
Destina frowned. "Who is that mushroom head?"
Skymender gave a bitter smile. "I really don't know myself, but his affinity for Inverse Enigma is unlike anything I’ve ever seen."
Destina looked away and back at the mountain that they had just left. At this moment, she wanted to know what was happening with the Starsibyl Sect.
Back on the mountain, Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "This is the end of things, so there’s no need to try to beat around the bush. Tell me, what happened to the Starsibyl Sect, why did Mr. Zhu pretend to be dead, and who attacked all of the Astral Combat Academy branches’ Stargazing Decks? Just what is going on, and what do you know about Destiny? There must be answers to all these things."
Mr. Zhu sighed. "The moment you found me, I was destined to give you these answers. The truth is, I am a pearl."
