Finally, Xia Yingxiong spoke up. "Us old things only know how to fight. It's better to leave this kind of brainstorming to the young."
"Is Xian 'er still in seclusion?" the old woman asked.
The Whitehaired Old Devil replied, "No. Her younger brother is trapped. She won't be indifferent if she comes out."
"Everything will be solved if she shows up. We don't need to waste our brains."
The old woman said, "Breaking through Progenitors is the most important thing, but Progenitors have their own difficulties as well. They can't act as they please, so let's wait for the ancestor's instructions. We never thought that the Four Cardinal Scales would be tricked by those monsters. Long Xian is wanted and killed without mercy.
Don't you think so, Old Devil? "the old man said," Of course I have no objections. "
"Then it's decided."
…
On the White Dragon Minor Progenitor Planet, Lu Yin and Liu Tianmu stood beneath Long Tian's statue. With a rumble, the planet's bridges connected and headed towards the Central Realm.
This trip to the Ruler's Realm was finally over.
Lu Yin felt that it was a pity, as he was the only one who had obtained an origin artifact.
Long Xi had said that while it was difficult to find an origin artifact in the Ruler's Realm, they would always find a few, not just one. It could only be said that this trip had ended so quickly thanks to those monsters.
Those monsters had used the map that Long Xian had left behind to lure everyone into a trap. Even if the four Progenitors had been rescued, their chances of exploring the Ruler's Realm had been cut off unless they were willing to break the rules.
Breaking the rules was equivalent to going against the ancestors' wishes, and it would have far-reaching consequences. Whether or not it was worth it depended on the Four Cardinal Scales.
If it had been Lu Yin, even if the Four Cardinal Scales forbade him from breaking the rules, he would still have secretly gone.
Lu Yin and the others had expected that the group would be guarded on the Minor Progenitor Planet.
Even if there was nothing suspicious about them, the Four Cardinal Scales would not believe them so easily. It would probably take some time to guard them.
This was the end of everyone's plan. The rest of the journey was up to each of them to find a way to leave.
Lu Yin had to race against time. He did not know how much the Four Cardinal Scales could find out about them, but if Wang Yi came out, everything would be exposed.
He had to leave before anyone else and reach the place that Invisible had mentioned.
The White Dragon Minor Progenitor Planet wasn't big, but he didn't know where to go. In the end, he could only return to the black lava.
Lu Yin let out a long sigh as he recalled his gains from his trip to the Ruler's Realm. If he wanted to, he could break through his middle finger right now. After all, he had two tribulation crystal pillars, one large and one small, so breaking through wouldn't be a problem. But now that his breakthrough had been discovered, it would be troublesome, and it would be impossible to explain himself. In the end, he suppressed the throbbing in his heart and calmed himself down.
Lu Yin did not know if anyone was monitoring him, but he released his domain and extended it outwards. Finally, he discovered a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man also sensed Lu Yin's domain, and he calmly said, "Elder Long Kui told me to tell you that he'll be taking you to Dragon Mountain Topmost." He then closed his eyes and stood there quietly.
Lu Yin retracted his domain and frowned. Long Xi was gone, and the White Dragon Tribe's attitude towards him could not possibly be the same as it had been in the past. This was still a positive outlook, as there might have been someone within the White Dragon Tribe who wanted to get rid of him long ago. With his current status, it was rather awkward.
No, he couldn't go back to Dragon Mountain with Long Kui. Once he went, he would never be able to come out again.
Lu Yin looked up.
Now that his die had appeared, there was no one in this region of space who could help him except for the Humble Ones. However, if he reached Dragon Mountain first, then the Humble Ones would not be able to help him. Before that, he had to think of a way to get the Humble Ones to assign him a mission.
The Junior Progenitor Planet could not contact the outside world, so his only hope was to roll six pips on his die.
Lu Yin had tried it before and had used a small amount of star essence to roll six pips, which had coincidentally fused into Guan Yun's body. Guan Yun had been closer to him, so he could give it a try and fuse it into someone close to him. With his strength, the person he fused with would definitely not be weak.
The middle-aged man still had some integrity and did not monitor Lu Yin. This was his only chance.
Lu Yin used his domain to drag back some star essence, but it was not much. He placed his cosmic ring to the side and raised his hand, causing the die to appear. He tapped it, and it slowly spun before finally coming to a stop. Roll Pips: Borrow Innate Gift.
Lu Yin had no choice but to try again.
The second time, he rolled one pip, and a cube of star energy fell out. Lu Yin was speechless, but he used that cube to restore the die and tried again.
The third time, he rolled two pips, but it was no use. He tried again, and the fourth time, it was still five pips. Lu Yin frowned, took a deep breath, and prayed in his heart. The die slowly spun until it finally stopped at three pips.
Lu Yin looked at the two screens and blinked. He then helplessly waved his hand to disperse them.
Even though the middle-aged man was not monitoring him, Lu Yin did not dare to upgrade his external items too openly. What if he was discovered?
Roll Pips was still fine, and he could just treat it as a form of cultivation.
After rolling five times, he had to rest for ten days. This had been the case since the beginning, and even after his spiritual force had improved so much, it was still the same. Lu Yin was at his wit's end.
During these ten days, Lu Yin used the dark magma to melt the star essence as usual and began to absorb it.
During this time, the middle-aged man had actually used his star energy to scan Lu Yin, but he had discovered that Lu Yin was still cultivating.
Lu Yin felt a lingering fear, as it seemed that the outside world was still not at ease with him and the others. After thinking about it, it made sense, as they would not be so easily trusted. However, the suspicions were not strong, as it was very common for people from the Sovereign Realm to die while exploring. At most, Lu Yin's group had just been lucky.
Ten days later, Lu Yin raised his hand and tried again.
This time, his luck was better, and he rolled six pips on his first try. The scene in front of him changed, and Lu Yin's consciousness appeared in a dark space. He saw orbs of light, and he directly merged into the closest one. As his vision brightened, he opened his eyes and saw a pair of jade arms wrapped around him.
Lu Yin was stunned. What the hell?
"Rest a bit more. Dead Man won't be coming back for a while. He went to Wangyu to curry favor with the Junior Ancestor." The owner of the jade arms was a beautiful woman who was curled up in Lu Yin's embrace like a kitten. The person Lu Yin had merged with was called Zhu Xian, and the woman in his embrace was someone else's wife.
Memories flooded into Lu Yin's mind, and he stared blankly at the beautiful woman in his embrace with a strange expression.
This was the Central Plain Realm's branch of the Xia family. The head of the family, Xia Ru, was a powerhouse close to becoming an Emissary, and he had long since gone to Wangyu to curry favor with the Junior Ancestor, Xia Shenfei. The man Lu Yin had merged with was Xia Ru's sworn elder brother, and this woman was Xia Ru's wife.
What was even stranger was that this Zhu Xian had been planted in the Xia family by the Frigid Immortal Sect. A spy had seduced the wife of the family head, and Xia Ru himself had been extremely respectful to this Zhu Xian. He had been hoping that Zhu Xian would break through to become an Emissary so that he could observe the origin tribulation before breaking through.
In any case, no one had good intentions.
Lu Yin felt a headache coming on.
In his embrace, Madam Xia opened her eyes and looked at 'Zhu Xian' with a smile on her face. "You look so …
What, it's been so long, are you still afraid?
This branch of the Xia family has long been under our control. If not for Xia Ru's identity, you would be the master of this place. "She then leaned forward.
Lu Yin watched as Madam Xia drew closer and closer, and he panicked. He hurriedly withdrew from the fusion and appeared in the darkness. He then quickly returned to his own body, opened his eyes, and exhaled. This had been too exciting; he had actually encountered such a situation. It was truly tempting.
For some reason, this Madam Xia reminded Lu Yin of Madam Nalan. Compared to Madam Nalan's natural charm, which did not need to be intentionally released, this Madam Xia paled in comparison.
He shook his head vigorously and did not think too much about it. He looked up and saw that the die had appeared once more. He continued to roll it, as this Zhu Xian clearly could not help him.
The die stopped rolling on the second roll, and it hit four pips.
The scene before Lu Yin's eyes changed, and he appeared in the Time Stop Space.
As long as he could enter this place, he would definitely be able to obtain the points he wanted. However, he did not have too many star essences to upgrade himself with, and he did not want to use his own money to upgrade himself. He decided to wait and stabilize himself for a while before secretly storing the star essences in his cosmic ring. Slowly, slowly, slowly.
However, he could still study that origin item.
Lu Yin took out the leaf and looked it over, but there was nothing special about it. He used a bit of force, but he could not pry it open.
He used his star energy, but there was no reaction. After some thought, he dripped a drop of blood on it, but there was still no reaction. This was strange.
Since it could help someone break through the Wisdom Gate, how could there be no reaction at all?
Did he have to break through the middle finger for there to be a reaction?
Lu Yin studied it for several days, but he still could not figure anything out. Three days later, when he left the Time Stop Space, he still could not figure out anything. Could it be a fake?
It was very likely that those monsters had set up a trap, so they might have used a fake to trick them.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth; he had actually been played.
He cursed under his breath and continued to roll his die.
On his fifth roll, he rolled six pips and entered the dark space once more. He did not hesitate to merge with a very bright ball of light.
He immediately opened his eyes, but before he could see anything clearly, the body he had merged with was swept up by an enormous tentacle. Lu Yin instinctively resisted and tried to escape using the Secret Art of Strategy, but this body did not know how to use it.
His body was dragged underground, and he was shocked. What the hell?
Lu Yin was not the only one who was dragged away by the tentacles. Terror Ants were everywhere.
Lu Yin's scalp went numb, and his entire body trembled. He had actually fallen into a horde of terror ants, but they were also being swept up by the tentacles.
A foul stench filled the air, and Lu Yin turned around to see an unforgettable scene. A round, black, abyss-like mouth had sucked him and the horde of terror ants into it. The mouth had come from an incomparably large anteater, and he could not see its full appearance.
The next moment, Lu Yin did not know anything. The person he had merged with was already dead.
Lu Yin's consciousness returned to his body, and the black and white ball of light in his chest trembled and then grew slightly larger. Lu Yin did not pay attention to this as he was still thinking about the scene from before.
That place was definitely the Mortal Realm, and terror ants only appeared in the Mortal Realm.
Terror ants were the natural enemies of countless creatures in the Mortal Realm. Both Long Xi and Lu Yin had treasures that were more powerful than Envoys, but they could only run for their lives when they encountered terror ants. According to Long Xi, even the Hou could only run when it encountered terror ants.
And the Terror Ants had become the Anteater's food. What kind of monster was the Anteater?
Could it be a power level of a million or a half-step Ancestor?
