He looked at the water plant power vessel in his hand, which he had obtained from Xia Taili. It had left a deep impression on Lu Yin since he had shamelessly relied on it to protect him in the past.
This was it. Lu Yin tossed the water plant power vessel onto the upper screen and then began to upgrade star essence.
He had upgraded the dagger he had obtained from Wang Su, Xia Shenfei's puppet, the tribulation fire, the extreme ice stone, and so on. He had upgraded everything that he could. Of course, he had only upgraded things like the extreme ice stone a few times. He knew when to stop and take things slowly.
All sorts of external items had used up all the star essence he had obtained from Junior Progenitor Planet, and he was now armed to the teeth. Of course, the price he had paid was not small either, as he had spent nearly two billion star essence. If news of this spread, it would shock countless people. Even if the Four Cardinal Scales did not lack money, they would not have spent so much.
Lu Yin secretly guessed that ever since Junior Progenitor Planet's resources had appeared, he had used more than the four Junior Progenitors combined. No, he had used more than everyone else on Junior Progenitor Planet combined.
Although he felt a little dizzy, he still continued to roll his die.
Half a day later, in a certain region of the Central Realm, there was a mountain near the main trunk of the Mother Tree. It was located slightly south of the center of the Central Realm, and it was tall and connected to the heavens. This mountain was called Cleardust Mountain, and it was where Superintendent Qing Chen of the Nine Gates resided. It was also where he cultivated.
The short old man reported the results of the interrogation to Qing Chen, who had a solemn expression. "Have Cai Shu come see me."
Soon after, a scholarly middle-aged man appeared before Qing Chen and bowed. "Master." This was Cai Shu, Qing Chen's eldest disciple. He was also the person in charge of handling the affairs of Cleardust Mountain and the Nine Gates.
Qing Chen tossed the interrogation report to him.
Cai Shu looked at it and was surprised. "There's still information left. I thought that he had told me everything."
Qing Chen replied, "This information has nothing to do with him. He probably couldn't stand the interrogation and tried his best to recall it. What are your plans?"
Cai Shu said solemnly, "The records of the Guan brothers are very important. For a long time, those monsters have used various identities to hide among us humans. To be able to develop the Guan brothers into Red Backs, that person must have an extremely high status, whether among us humans or monsters."
Qing Chen nodded, then frowned. "There's something very strange. Ren Qing clearly confessed this information, but then he went back on his word and refused to admit that the information came from him."
Cai Shu was puzzled. "Why is that?
I've already explained everything that needs to be explained. Why won't you admit to this information? "
"I don't know. This is also a mystery, so this person cannot die. We must continue to interrogate him. So, what do you think about this record?" Qing Chen asked.
Cai Shu said, "Long Qi was the one who exposed the three Guan brothers as Redbacks. He was also the one who provided the evidence, so we can ask him to assist in the investigation."
Qing Chen shook his head. "Ren Qing said that the record was in the Guan brothers' secret place. I checked it before, but it wasn't there. Long Qi couldn't have come into contact with it."
"Master, since Ren Qing said that there is such a record, and the secret place of the Guan brothers in the Huaiyuan Humble School doesn't have such a record, could it have been destroyed long ago?
After all, Ren Qing saw it, "Cai Shu guessed.
Qing Chen nodded helplessly. "That's possible. It seems like this information is worthless."
"There's another possibility," Cai Shu suddenly said, her eyes flashing. "The evidence that Long Qi used to accuse the Guan brothers of being Redbacks came from Guan Yun's secret hiding place. Since Guan Yun secretly hid evidence, could he have hidden that record as well?"
Qing Chen's eyes went wide. "Contact the White Dragon Clan immediately. I, Qing Chen, as the Superintendent of the Nine Humble Schools, order Long Qi to come to Clear Dust Mountain to assist in the investigation."
"Understood."
On the White Dragon Junior Progenitor Planet, Lu Yin put down his hand. Ever since he had upgraded an external item from his cosmic ring, he had failed to roll six pips the next two times. He had already prayed, but it had been useless. He was not disappointed, as he had already achieved his goal. It would be best if he could roll six pips again, as he would be able to check his memories regarding the Lu family. If he couldn't, then it was fine.
When he thought about the Lu family, his heart sank.
The Four Way Scales had exiled the Lu Clan to its current position. In that case, his enemies would be the four strongest clans in this starry sky. Each of the four clans had a Progenitor. How terrifying were they? Any one of them could easily wipe out the Fifth Mainland.
Bai Shaohong's dying words still echoed in Lu Yin's mind, and there was one sentence that he cared about the most. "So what if we gather the entire Wasteland and attack this region?
You won't be able to resist the Frigid Immortal Sect. "Bai Shaohong's backing was a Progenitor, and he was one of the top powerhouses in the Frigid Immortal Sect that was second only to Progenitors.
However, the Fifth Mainland was not that simple. In their eyes, the Wasteland contained the inheritances of Progenitor Chen, Progenitor Hui, and the Symbol Progenitor, as well as the hidden inheritances of the previous four mainlands. Lu Yin did not believe that the entire Fifth Mainland could not resist the Frigid Immortal Sect. He wanted to try.
He was already the Master of the Outerverse, so he might as well become the Master of the Fifth Mainland.
As he thought about this, Lu Yin tapped his die, causing it to slowly spin before finally stopping at six. Lu Yin was shocked, as this number was too unexpected. He had actually gotten a six twice out of the five times he had tried.
Lu Yin's consciousness appeared in a dark space. Because he had just fused with Ren Qing's body, he did not have many star essence left. He directly fused with the ball of light closest to him. It was not too bright, but it was not too dim either.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a snow-white neck and a girl whose back was facing him. He also saw what she was doing.
Yu Chen?
Lu Yin was stunned. Wasn't this girl Yu Chen?
A large amount of memories flooded into his mind, causing his face to twitch.
Yu Chen turned around, puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," 'Lu Yin' slowly bowed and replied respectfully.
Yu Chen did not think much of it and turned back to continue with her work. However, she did not notice that the old man behind her was filled with confusion, confusion, excitement, worry, and various other emotions.
When Yu Chen turned around again, the old man had returned to normal. Lu Yin's consciousness had returned to his body, and there were too few star essence left.
Yu Chen was on Frigid Immortal's Junior Ancestor Planet, which was not too far from the White Dragon's Junior Ancestor Planet.
Lu Yin opened his eyes, and they were filled with intense worry. That old man was Yu Chen's protector and had protected her since she was young. He was the person she trusted the most, and through the old man, Lu Yin knew some of Yu Chen's jade butterflies and how to contact her. This information should have been enough to make him happy, but then he saw a person in the old man's memories: Liu Shaoge.
He would never have thought that Liu Shaoge would also come to this region of space, much less appear beside Yu Chen. This was inconceivable. Where had Liu Shaoge gotten the ability to come here and join the Frigid Immortal Sect?
Had he also come through Jupiter?
That was the only explanation. Since he had come through Jupiter, then the question was whether he had come here by accident or on purpose. If he had come here by accident, then it would be fine, but if he had come here on purpose, then things were different. This meant that Liu Shaoge knew about this region of space, or at the very least, he knew about the Primeval Surname Alliance and the Hidden Earth Society.
If Liu Shaoge knew, then what about Bai Qian?
What about the other members of the Hidden Earth Society?
Lu Yin frowned, as Liu Shaoge's appearance had completely disrupted his train of thought. He had almost forgotten about this person, but he had been reminded by the Daynight clan members back on Earth. At that time, he had discovered that Liu Shaoge was actually able to cause an Enlighter from the Daynight clan to hunt him down. It was clear that Lu Yin was improving, and so was Liu Shaoge. Now, Liu Shaoge had actually joined the Frigid Immortal Sect.
Lu Yin was certain that Liu Shaoge had seen his information, but he had not told Yu Chen about it. What was his goal?
For a moment, Lu Yin could not see through Liu Shaoge.
Lu Yin's impression of Liu Shaoge was that he was a despicable person who would do anything to achieve his goals. Liu Shaoge was actually very similar to Lu Yin, but this person had no bottom line. Liu Shaoge had not exposed Lu Yin yet, but that did not mean that he would not do so in the future. Perhaps Liu Shaoge was waiting for an opportunity, one that would allow him to soar to the heavens.
Of course, the most important thing was that Liu Shaoge would not be able to protect himself if he exposed Lu Yin.
This region of space was very resistant to stowaways, and even Bai Shaohong had vouched for Lu Yin, but Lu Yin did not believe him. Once Liu Shaoge exposed his identity as a stowaway, then it would be useless no matter what contributions he made. Otherwise, the stowaways who had been here before would have settled down here long ago as long as they betrayed their own people.
This path would not work, and the biggest reason why Liu Shaoge had not exposed Lu Yin was because of this. Unless Liu Shaoge was certain that he could shut Lu Yin up the moment he exposed Lu Yin.
Lu Yin temporarily set aside his worries about Liu Shaoge. This person had done everything possible to join the Frigid Immortal Sect and had even walked to Yu Chen's side. It was impossible for him to want to perish together with Lu Yin.
Liu Shaoge had thought that he was watching Lu Yin from the shadows, but he had never expected that Lu Yin would know of his existence. In that case, let's see who can outplay the other!
Suddenly, Lu Yin wanted to know how the Fifth Mainland was doing and how the Outerverse was doing.
Even though Moonless had told him a few things, Lu Yin still did not feel at ease.
His die had six pips. If he had enough star essence, would he be able to send himself to the Fifth Mainland and merge with the people there?
Lu Yin was tempted by this thought, and he leapt out of the black lava. He deliberately avoided the middle-aged man and brought back batch after batch of star essence. Even though he still had some external items that he could not upgrade, he knew that he could not go overboard. He could not hide any more star essence in his cosmic ring, as it was obvious that he was missing quite a bit. If he continued to hide star essence, then he would attract the attention of important people. He decided to just leave it at that for now.
Lu Yin's actions could not be hidden from the middle-aged man. The man frowned, but he did not say anything. It was just as he had said; all the resources on Junior Progenitor Planet were imprinted, and Lu Yin could not take them away.
Even though that was what the middle-aged man thought, he still watched Lu Yin frantically toss star essence into the black lava. Even though these resources did not belong to the middle-aged man, he still felt his heart ache. He could not help but say, "You can't take these resources away, and your cosmic ring isn't that big."
Lu Yin smiled at him politely before continuing.
The middle-aged man frowned and snorted, but he did not say anything else. Even though he had joined Junior Progenitor Long Tian, he was still not a member of the White Dragon Clan. Even if Lu Yin's status within the White Dragon Clan had plummeted due to Long Xi's disappearance, he was still a member of a branch of the White Dragon Clan. The middle-aged man could not do anything to Lu Yin, so he just pretended that he had not seen anything. In any case, once the Junior Progenitor came out, this person would definitely be reprimanded.
