Lu Yin's mind went blank. Mu, Mu, Mu Xie?
He looked up in disbelief. "Mu?"
Qing Chen didn't notice Lu Yin's abnormality as he looked up in awe. His gaze seemed to pierce through the Peak Realm and into the distant Sovereign Realm, where he saw that figure. "That's right. The governor's surname is Mu, and his name is Mu Xie. Remember, once you become his disciple, you can call him Master Mu."
Lu Yin lowered his head, feeling that this was absurd. Could the governor be Mister Mu?!
Was it possible or not?
He was stunned. Throughout the entire history of the Astral Tree Continent, including the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands, how many Progenitors had there been?
And someone with the surname Mu was even more rare. At the very least, he had never heard of any Progenitor with that surname.
If Mister Mu really was a Progenitor, then the chances of him being Mu Xie were too high.
Were Mister Mu and Mu Xie the same person?
Lu Yin was completely at a loss.
When Qing Chen brought him to the Peak Realm, he didn't even react. All he could think about was Mu Xie.
Within the jade peak of the Frigid Immortal Sect, Yu Chen slowly clenched her fists. She had miscalculated; Long Seven had actually climbed up the ladder without taking a detour.
When news of the battle between Kui Luo and Qing Chen below the ladder reached the Frigid Immortal Sect, Yu Chen knew that she had miscalculated.
She had overestimated Long Seven. No, that wasn't right. She had read through all the information about Lu Yin, and she had underestimated him. Long Seven had grasped all of her thoughts, and he had already thought of how to deal with her, which was why he had climbed the ladder.
Was he so sure that the Frigid Immortal Sect would send people to capture him?
Liu Shaoge stood behind Yu Chen with a subtle smile on his face. Women sometimes liked to overthink things.
Yu Chen's miscalculation had not only allowed Lu Yin to reach Dragon Mountain safely, but it had also led to her own downfall.
When Bai Shaohong had still been alive, Yu Chen had relied on his power to stand at the top of the Frigid Immortal Sect. Even an Envoy like Elder Green Apricot had to bow to her. Now that Bai Shaohong was dead and her plan had gone wrong, her position in the Frigid Immortal Sect had plummeted.
There were many grand occasions in the Top Upper Realm. The Origin Wheel Sacrificial Ceremony to confirm the young ancestor was a grand occasion that had happened in the past few decades. At this moment, the Dragon Mountain Viewing Ceremony had also become a grand occasion.
The ceremony this time did not only involve the White Dragon Clan, but also two Half-Martial Ancestors. The White Dragon Clan had intentionally or unintentionally released news that a Realm Origin Array Master or even an Origin Array Heavenly Master might appear from the back battlefield.
There were very few Lockbreakers in the Cosmic Tree Realm, and this was because the Lockbreaker headquarters was located on the reverse side of the battlefield. If one wanted to become a Lockbreaker, they had to go to the reverse side of the battlefield. However, there were far too few people who were willing to go to the reverse side of the battlefield.
Although there were very few Lockbreakers, there were quite a few Lockbreaker powerhouses. The Realmorigin Array Master was a Lockbreaker powerhouse, and there was no need to even mention the Origin Array Heavenly Master.
Other than the White Dragon Race, the Four Way Scales all had Jie Yuan Formation Masters. This was the White Dragon Race's greatest pain.
Lu Yin's lockbreaking talent made up for this weakness of the White Dragon Race.
There were Lockbreakers who could learn how to set up sourcebox arrays, but Lockbreakers with such terrifying innate gifts were far too rare.
In the Top Realm, the dusky sky made people feel depressed. Only those who were close to the Four Sides of the Scale could receive light.
The closer they got to Dragon Mountain, the more people Lu Yin saw heading there. They were everywhere in the sky and on the ground.
The White Dragon Race sent out invitations to the few great powers in the Central Realm, but they also sent out invitations to many regions in the Top Realm. This was especially true for the regions around Dragon Mountain, where the White Dragon Race sent congratulatory gifts.
There were many regions in the Top Realm that were attached to the Four Sides of the Scale, but these were not powers. They were just regions, and the Top Realm could not allow any powers outside of the Four Sides of the Scale to appear.
Up ahead, the Hou's enormous body appeared, attracting the attention of countless people below.
These cultivators from various regions in the Top Realm looked up and saw Lu Yin and Qingchen step onto the Hou's back before disappearing into Dragon Mountain.
"That young man is Long Seven, right?"
"He must be. Elder Long Kui is personally welcoming him, so he must be Long Seven."
"I recognize one of them. It's the Nine Gates Superintendent, Senior Qingchen. That young man must be Long Seven."
"He's already reached such heights at such a young age. Once he becomes the Governor's disciple, he'll definitely be on the same level as the Junior Ancestor. I'm so envious."
"What's there to be envious about?
Even the Frigid Immortal Sect has their eyes on him. I heard that Junior Ancestor Bai Shaohong's death was related to him. "
"Don't spout nonsense. It's just a suspicion. Everyone who comes from the Sovereign Realm is under suspicion. Long Seven was only a Hunter back then, so how could he be related to him?"
"But he has a sourcebox array."
The people who had originally retorted fell silent. A sourcebox array could turn something rotten into something miraculous, and it could even help the human race fend off enemies from the outside. It was not strange for it to be able to do anything. In their opinion, this was the biggest reason why Lu Yin had attracted the Frigid Immortal Sect's suspicions.
Not long after, a group of people appeared in the sky, each of them stepping on a broken blade. They were all brimming with killing intent as they headed towards Dragon Mountain.
"It's the people from Shenwu Plane. They actually arrived early. It seems like they value this ceremony a lot."
In the crowd below, a grandfather and his grandson were equally envious.
"Grandpa, when I grow up, I want to be as famous as Long Seven in the Top Realm," the little boy said. He seemed to be around eleven or twelve years old, but his face was filled with excitement and his eyes were filled with longing.
The old man with the boy replied, "You will, you definitely will." He then looked behind him and sighed in relief.
"Grandpa, will those bad people catch up to us?" the boy asked.
The old man replied, "Don't worry, they won't. This is Dragon Mountain, and they wouldn't dare."
"Oh."
…
This was Lu Yin's second visit to Dragon Mountain. The first time, he had kept a low profile, and only a few people had known about it. This time, however, he was extremely high-profile.
This time, Long Kui's attitude towards Lu Yin was completely different from before.
Every time they met, Lu Yin gave Long Kui a new feeling, and this time was no different.
Long Kui couldn't help but take another look at Lu Yin as he recalled his past achievements. How had this kid changed so much?
It hadn't even been two years since their first meeting, and the things that Lu Yin had done during that time were enough for others to brag about for the rest of their lives. Now, he had even gained the favor of a Progenitor.
Was this still the same son-in-law of the main bloodline who hadn't even dared to dodge Elder Green Apricot's attack?
Lu Yin sat upright and did not speak to Long Kui. This time, he had not come to Dragon Mountain to meet Long Ke directly. Instead, he had gone deeper into the mountain.
"Senior Qing Chen, the clan has already prepared a place for you to rest. The clan leader has instructed that you can enter and leave Dragon Mountain as you please," Long Kui said respectfully to Qing Chen.
Qing Chen smiled. "Thank Clan Leader Long Ke for me. Just prepare more Hundred Dragon Wine for me, haha."
Long Kui smiled. "Of course." He then looked at Lu Yin. "Long Seven, the Patriarch has instructed that the ancestral ceremony will be held in ten days. At that time, the Four Way Scales, the Farmer's family, the Liu family, and the other great clans of the Middle Realm will all be present. Make some preparations during this period of time. You should have already learned about the ancestral ceremony, so don't embarrass the White Dragon Clan.
"Yes, elder." Lu Yin's attitude was the same as before.
Long Kui nodded. He first sent Lu Yin to the Crouching Dragon Lake before taking Qing Chen to a place to rest.
There was no need for Qing Chen to worry about Lu Yin's safety. If an accident could happen here, then there was no difference whether he was there or not.
Crouching Dragon Lake was a lake within Dragon Mountain. There were thousands of lakes in Dragon Mountain, and although Crouching Dragon Lake was not the largest, it was very famous. This was because the direct descendants of the White Dragon Clan would stay there for a period of time. It symbolized the rise of a hidden dragon. For example, Long Tian and Long Xi had once stayed there.
Lu Yin was arranged to stay at Crouching Dragon Lake, which meant that his status was not inferior to those two.
Although Crouching Dragon Lake was not big compared to Dragon Mountain and was only one of the thousands of lakes, it did not mean that Crouching Dragon Lake was small. Stars flowed within it, and it was like a universe that nurtured civilizations.
Lu Yin stood on the island in the middle of the lake and looked down at the bottom of the lake. He saw the twinkling stars, and through the lake's surface, he could see the civilizations developing on the stars. This scene was all too common in the Starry Sky of the Trees.
The Fifth Mainland did not have such a situation of nurturing civilizations. At most, it was a large world, but that was also voluntary.
He quietly stayed on the island in Crouching Dragon Lake for a few days until he was sure that no one was monitoring him. He then immediately went into seclusion and began rolling his die.
Long Kui had told him to prepare everything for the ancestral worship, but he did not know about the White Dragon Clan's ancestral worship. There had to be a special ceremony, and he had to ask Long Xi about it.
The die spun and slowly came to a stop at six.
Lu Yin was not surprised, as he had not rolled for a long time, so it was normal for him to roll six pips. Fortunately, he had placed his cosmic ring to the side and only took out a few star essence, so he did not consume too much. This had become a habit.
Lu Yin appeared in a strange space and casually merged into a ball of light that was not too bright. The scene in front of him changed, and he saw a grandfather and his grandson.
The person he had merged with was planning to kill them.
"The Lei family has decided to withdraw from Looking Dragon City and will not fight with you. Why must you be so ruthless?
Do you really think that the White Dragon Clan will allow a power that can unify Looking Dragon City?
The Four Cardinal Scales of the Top Realm will not allow any other power to exist, even if it's just controlling a small city! "the old man who was about to be killed screamed and hugged his grandson tightly.
The little boy trembled in fear.
Lu Yin blinked and decided to withdraw from the fusion. He had no interest in such a small family feud.
"You destroyed the Lei family, and it won't be long before someone comes after you. I can tell you that I have an organization behind me called the Hidden Earth Society. Although it's not very famous, it has a great influence and has infiltrated the Four Cardinal Scales," the old man warned with blood at the corner of his mouth and a crazed look in his eyes.
Lu Yin, who had been about to withdraw from the fusion, suddenly paused and looked at the old man in shock. The Hidden Earth Society?
This was the first time he had heard of the Hidden Earth Society in this part of the universe.
Before this, he had investigated many times in hopes of finding the Hidden Earth Society and the so-called Primeval Surname Alliance. However, regardless of whether it was the records in the books or the conversations he had had with others, there had been no mention of either. He had not held much hope, but now, he had actually heard of the Hidden Earth Society.
"The Hidden Earth Society?
Never heard of it, "Lu Yin said deliberately.
The old man gritted his teeth and threatened, "There's no way you've heard of it. Our Hidden Earth Society does not accept outsiders, and we do not expose ourselves. However, we are closely connected because of our unique relationship. There are many experts in our organization, and we have great influence. Let alone Looking Dragon City, even if you hide in Dragon Mountain, we can still take revenge. Don't make a mistake."
