Was this the White Dragon Roaming Steps?
Lu Yin was astonished. Someone from the White Dragon Tribe? He immediately thought of the Flying Armor Army, as there was no one else who could seal off an area of the Flying Armor Pass. Someone from the White Dragon Tribe was attacking him, and it was obvious that it was Long Xian's people.
Since his opponent was Long Xian's subordinate, Lu Yin did not want to be too eye-catching. He spread out his domain and tilted his head to the side. The tip of his spear tore through the air and tore the ground apart. The spear swept horizontally towards Lu Yin's chest. Lu Yin saw the shadow's spear technique clearly and retreated in advance. The shadow's eyes flashed with anger, and he stepped forward with his right foot. His aura suddenly changed, and Lu Yin could faintly hear a roar.
"White Dragon Transformation! Be careful!" Guo Shan shouted.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. The White Dragon Transformation was an inherited ability unique to the Dragon Tribe. Once it was used, one's strength would soar. This person was indeed from the White Dragon Tribe.
After using the White Dragon Transformation, the shadow's strength increased significantly, and his spear technique swept out at an even faster speed. Combined with the White Dragon Roaming Steps, Lu Yin could not predict the attack in advance, but he was still able to narrowly avoid the attack.
The shadow seemed to become anxious, and he immediately abandoned his spear and sent a palm strike towards Lu Yin. Guo Shan's voice came from afar. "Don't take it head-on."
Lu Yin ignored him and sent out an Emptiness Palm, which collided with the shadow's palm strike. An intense sound exploded in everyone's ears, and a ferocious shockwave swept out in all directions. The ground completely cracked open, forming a gorge. Lu Yin and the shadow both retreated at the same time.
The shadow was shocked. He had used the White Dragon Transformation, but he was still unable to gain the upper hand. This Draconic Seven was definitely not simple.
Lu Yin was shocked as well, as Draconic Seven had actually blocked an Emptiness Palm that had nearly 200 Stacks. Although Draconic Seven had not used any battle techniques, this palm strike was still not something that an ordinary Hunter could withstand. Even an Enlighter like Obscurus could not withstand this Emptiness Palm.
This was the might of the White Dragon Transformation. Once it was used, one's physical strength would increase greatly.
"Time's up!" one of the people fighting with Guo Shan shouted.
Lu Yin immediately attacked, and the shadow was still an Emptiness Palm. The invisible palm imprint caused the shadow to not be able to react, and his chest was struck by a palm strike. The shadow's body was sent a kilometer away, and blood stains of blood could vaguely be seen. He was Lu Yin's Emptiness Realm, but he did not continue attacking......
The black shadow looked at Lu Yin with dissatisfaction before turning around to leave.
Lu Yin didn't want to let him go, and he immediately chased after him.
Guo Shan also chased after him.
The black figure used the White Dragon Roaming Steps and left in the blink of an eye. If this had been the Fifth Mainland, this person would not have been able to escape, as a single 'Plan' would have been enough. However, Lu Yin could not reveal too much here, so he could only allow this person to leave.
Looking at his palm, the faint red mark was gradually fading away. What a strong force. Did his strength increase after he transformed into a white dragon?
"How are you? You're not injured, are you?" Guo Shan asked as he looked at Lu Yin's palm.
Lu Yin shook his wrist. It hurt a little; he had sprained it.
Guo Shan rolled his eyes. "I told you not to fight recklessly. The White Dragon Transformation is a unique ability of the White Dragon Tribe. Once it's used, the strength of your physical body will completely change. You'll be like a Tyrannosaurus in human form. That person just now clearly wasn't strong enough.
Lu Yin shrugged. "Yeah, he's really fierce."
"It's a pity that you're only from a branch of the White Dragon Clan. Very few people in the branch can use the White Dragon Transformation. Your bloodline isn't pure. What a pity," said Guo Shan.
He looked into the distance, "Who's trying to ambush me?"
"You want to know?" Guo Shan smiled. "I have a way."
"What is it?"
"Follow me."

I'll leave. Whoever tries to stop us will be the one to die. Watch me! "Guo Shan immediately charged towards the Flying Armor Pass.
Not long after, the two entered the pass. Guo Shan shouted, "I left a mark on that person. He won't be able to escape. The mark won't disappear for fifteen minutes. Let's go."
Lu Yin was excited. "Let's go. How dare he ambush someone from the Fourteenth Gate? He's courting death."
The two had not gone far when a group of Flying Armor soldiers blocked their path. The leader was a bearded middle-aged man who glared at the two. "There's a fierce battle outside the city. The general has ordered a curfew for half a month. You two are to return to your residences immediately. Violators will be arrested."
Guo Shan and Lu Yin exchanged glances. Lu Yin stepped forward and raised his head. "I'm Long Seven of the White Dragon Clan. I request an audience with the general."
The bearded man frowned. "The general is busy and has no time to meet you."
"Brother, you're not from the general's residence. How do you know that he's busy?
Shouldn't he be resting right now? "Guo Shan retorted.
The bearded man's gaze turned cold. "There's a fierce battle outside the city. The general has sent people to investigate, so there's no need to report to you." He then looked at Long Seven and softened his tone. "If Young Master Long insists on meeting the general, then please return to your residences and wait while I report to him."
This report took at least fifteen minutes. Lu Yin was certain that the person who had ambushed him was definitely one of Long Xian's men, but it could not have been Long Xian. Long Xian was not stupid enough to leave such a huge loophole in his actions that they would be able to find out so easily.
The battle outside the city had just ended, and they had already chased after them. How could the army within the city know about this so quickly? Using this as an excuse to impose a curfew and delay their pursuit was too stupid.
"In that case, let's go. We won't hinder the Flying Armor Army," Guo Shan said.
Lu Yin nodded.
"Farewell, Young Master Long," the bearded man hurriedly said as he watched the two leave the Flying Armor Pass. He then said to someone beside him, "Go report to the general that everything went smoothly."
"Understood."
…
Outside the city, Lu Yin was puzzled. "It shouldn't be Long Xian. Then who could it be?"
Guo Shan laughed. "Don't you know about the White Dragon Clan's internal affairs?"
Lu Yin shook his head. "I don't know much about Long Xian."
Guo Shan said, "Long Xian has a son named Long Ding. He should be the one who ambushed you. His figure, battle techniques, and cultivation all match."
Lu Yin did not know who this person was. Even Long Kui was meeting Long Ding for the first time.
"Why did he ambush me?" Lu Yin asked.
Guo Shan looked at Lu Yin strangely. "Don't tell me that you're doing well in the White Dragon Clan.
That no one bullied you? "
Lu Yin understood. This was another person who had a crush on Long Xi but restrained himself out of fear of Bai Shaohong. However, he was also jealous that Lu Yin had married Long Xi. Long Xi's charm was truly great.
"What did you think of the battle with Long Ding?" Guo Shan asked.
Lu Yin thought about it. "He's very powerful, but I'm talking about after he used his White Dragon Transformation."
Guo Shan nodded. "Any member of the White Dragon Clan will experience a great leap in power after they use their White Dragon Transformation. Long Ding's improvement is quite obvious, but he's still a bit lacking compared to you. You injured him, but things will be different in a few days. He'll definitely find another opportunity to fight you."
"What's the difference?
Oh, you're saying that he's going to break through to the Enlighter realm? "
Guo Shan sneered. "Enlighter realm?
That's one of the reasons. More importantly, he's going to break through to the lower threshold. "
Lu Yin was shocked. "He can break through?
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Lower threshold?
How is that possible?
Does he have that many tribulation crystals? "
Previously, Lu Yin had not been clear about the lower threshold. Long Kui had mentioned that tribulation crystals were used to help people break through the lower and middle threshold, but Lu Yin had not dared to ask about the specifics. Over the past few days, Lu Yin had been very careful in his conversations with Guo Shan, and he had finally understood.
The human body had three thresholds: the lower threshold, the middle threshold, and the upper threshold. Most people would not be able to touch these three thresholds. Even if one became an Emissary, broke through to the power level of a million, or even became a Half-Ancestor, they would not need to touch these three thresholds as they would not affect their cultivation.
However, only the Progenitor realm required one to break through these three thresholds.
The further one progressed, the harder it would be to break through the three thresholds. The easiest way to break through them was when one was young, and that was with the help of tribulation crystals.
Breaking through the three thresholds was not just for the sake of becoming a Progenitor in the future. More importantly, every time one broke through a threshold, one's strength would increase by leaps and bounds, just like breaking through one's current realm.
This was the cultivation method that everyone in this region of space yearned for but could not obtain. Even a large clan might not be able to obtain the tribulation crystals needed to break through the thresholds. The entire White Dragon Clan had been gathering tribulation crystals for countless years, but they had only managed to gather enough to help Long Tian break through the lower and middle threshold. Even Long Xi had not been able to break through.
Long Tian had been able to become a Junior Ancestor, along with Bai Shaohong, Wang Su, and Xia Shenfei, who were all unrivaled in the universe, because they had all broken through the lower and middle threshold. Their strength was not on the same level as others.
If the four of them could break through the thresholds, then even the Four Cardinal Scales would not be able to withstand the consumption of tribulation crystals. How could Long Ding be able to do so?
"This is why the Fourteenth Gate is investigating the Flying Armor Pass," Guo Shan said.
Lu Yin frowned. "Are you saying that the Fourteenth Gate suspects that Long Xian became a Redback because of tribulation crystals?"
Guo Shan nodded. "Think about it. The Four Cardinal Scales' accumulation over countless years was only enough to help the Junior Ancestor break through two thresholds. At most, it could help another person break through one threshold. But Long Ding has enough tribulation crystals to break through the lower threshold. Where did he get them from?"
"Isn't there no problem with the investigation?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Guo Shan nodded. "That's the biggest problem. No one knows where Long Xian got his tribulation crystals. How many years would it take for him to intercept the tribulation crystals from the Flying Armor Pass?
It's impossible to intercept enough tribulation crystals to help Long Ding break through the lower threshold. Besides, how long has Long Xian been in charge of the Flying Armor Pass?
However, the investigation results ruled out the possibility of a Redback or a spy, which is very strange.
"But since we've ruled out the possibility of a Redback or a spy, we can't continue the investigation. No matter where Long Xian got his tribulation crystals from, it has nothing to do with us."
Lu Yin's heart itched. In fact, the moment he had learned about the three thresholds, he had also realized the importance of tribulation crystals. His desire for tribulation crystals was different from his desire for star essence. Tribulation crystals were much more precious, and no one would sell them.
"If you want to become a Progenitor, you have to break through the three thresholds. However, the further you go, the more difficult it becomes. It's almost impossible for a Half-Ancestor to break through the three thresholds on their own. If you rely on tribulation crystals, the amount of tribulation crystals required is unimaginable. Even the Four Cardinal Scales can't do it. Thus, if you want to break through the three thresholds, you have to do it while you're still young. Otherwise, you won't have the chance to become a Progenitor," Guo Shan said enviously.
The four Junior Ancestors had all broken through the middle finger threshold, and the final threshold, the upper intelligence threshold, could not be broken through with tribulation crystals. Only the Origin Item from the Ruler's Realm could break through. This was the reason why the Junior Ancestors had been born during the Origin Wheel Sacrifice and why they had gone to the Ruler's Realm.
Only after entering the Ruler's Realm would one know who had the highest chance of becoming a Progenitor.
This also showed how difficult it was to become a Progenitor.
