The atmosphere in the laboratory was somewhat heavy and oppressive.

Even Lu Sheng’s brow furrowed at this moment.

At this point, Liu Yao’s voice sounded again: "According to the teacher’s words, there’s at most twenty years left before the teacher will have to break through to the eighth tier and leave the Life Factions."

Lu Sheng was taken aback.

Twenty years?

So soon?

Lu Sheng originally thought it would take forty or fifty years; who knew it would be only twenty years before Gumo had to leave.

No wonder Yang Zhenyun and the others were acting this way.

Liu Yao looked at Lu Sheng and continued, "Once the teacher leaves, our Life Factions will no longer have a seventh-tier expert holding fort. At that time, some factions who have been eyeing us won’t take immediate action."

"But... besides other factions, there are people from other cosmic life forms who are likely to target us too."

"Although our Life Factions’ position is at the rear of the Star River Star System, the system itself is one of the front-line star systems. The difference between the front and rear is merely a matter of distance."

"During that time, the entire Life Factions will enter a period of turmoil, and all dangers will be revealed."

The more Liu Yao spoke, the more solemn Lu Sheng’s face became.

Other factions, cosmic alien races, these issues that were kept in check by Gumo’s seventh-tier cultivation, would suddenly explode once Gumo leaves.

At that time... will the Life Factions be able to withstand it?

Even if they manage to withstand it, how much of the accumulated territory and foundation over the years can be preserved?

"These are secondary issues. If the teacher were still here, we could wait for the senior sister to break through to the seventh tier. At that time, even if the teacher leaves, our Life Factions will have a new seventh-tier expert holding the fort. Even if she’s just entered the seventh tier, other factions and cosmic alien races would not dare to make trouble."

At this moment, the silent Yang Zhenyun slowly spoke.

"But twenty years might not be enough for the senior sister to achieve the seventh tier!"

Yang Zhenyun’s words made the atmosphere in the laboratory even more oppressive. Both Kong Linghui and Liu Qian had a hint of bitterness on their faces.

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: "Yes, the senior sister’s talent is evident, achieving the seventh tier is just a matter of time. However, the problem Life Factions faces now is still a matter of time."

Just when everyone felt the somber mood, Liu Yao spoke again: "Above the seventh tier, you don’t need to take action; I have my ways to deal with it. But below the seventh tier... I will need your help."

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhenyun and the others, including Lu Sheng, were slightly stunned.

But Lu Sheng seemed to have thought of something and his expression regained calmness.

As for Yang Zhenyun and the other two, they exchanged glances and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.

It’s known that the gap between the sixth and seventh tiers, even the difference from the peak of the sixth tier to just entering the seventh tier, is greater than the gap between the fourth and sixth tiers.

Yet, Liu Yao was so confident?

However, Liu Yao’s confident remarks did serve as a strong tonic for everyone, dispelling a lot of their uneasy emotions.

"Could it be that before leaving, the teacher left something for the senior sister? Yes, it must be so. The teacher is about to break through the eighth tier, leaving something to counter the seventh tier before leaving shouldn’t be an issue."

Yang Zhenyun thought inwardly, feeling much more at ease.

Not only Yang Zhenyun, but Kong Linghui and Liu Qian also had similar thoughts, believing Gumo had left some methods for Liu Yao.

Only Lu Sheng glanced at Liu Yao and couldn’t help but think: "Senior sister’s confidence seems to come from her core belief that she can handle seventh-tier dangers."

"Moreover..."

Lu Sheng thought of his Life and Death Emperor Seal; even though this star-level martial art was just freshly understood and still at the first level, it had already greatly increased his combat power.

"My Life and Death Emperor Seal was derived from senior sister’s Great Seal of the Emperor of Reincarnation. Senior sister has been comprehending the Great Seal for years, naturally making it more refined and powerful."

"If I can gain several times augmentation from my Life and Death Emperor Seal, there’s no reason senior sister’s Great Seal of the Emperor won’t do the same. Perhaps... senior sister’s combat power can truly rival a seventh-tier expert!"

Lu Sheng thought to himself.

"I’m telling you this now to prepare for the teacher’s departure, so focus on your cultivation in the next twenty years and strive to advance further!"

Liu Yao looked at everyone with unprecedented seriousness.

Yang Zhenyun and the others straightened their expressions and cupped their fists towards Liu Yao: "Understood!"

In twenty years, Gumo would leave, and Liu Yao would become the next leader of the Life Factions.

Subsequently, Yang Zhenyun and the others left, and Lu Sheng was about to follow when Liu Yao called him to stop.

"Lu Sheng, wait a moment."

Lu Sheng turned around in confusion, looking at Liu Yao.

Liu Yao calmly gazed at Lu Sheng and said softly: "While comprehending star martial arts, did you encounter any difficulties? If there are difficulties, you can mention them to me."

"I will try my best to help you solve them. In twenty years, the Life Factions will enter a turbulent period. The seventh tier has its battlefield, and so does the sixth tier. I don’t expect you to break through to the sixth tier in twenty years, but..."
