As Lu Yin slowly descended toward the Boundless, he felt refreshed.
The Progenitor laughed heartily. "Zhu Zi, congratulations. You've found a new path."
Lu Yin said, "If I hadn't learned the Nine Body Separation Technique before, I wouldn't have been able to take this path."
The Progenitor praised him. "This is the path you were meant to walk. Only you could have taken it. Perhaps it was all destined."

"Did my master also cultivate some strange power?" Lu Yin asked curiously.
The Progenitor shook his head. "I don't know, but Old Wood's cultivation is no simple matter. What a pity he was a step too late. Eternal Life Realm was born in his universe first. If not for that, he would certainly have become an Eternal."
