Long Xi took the blood in a daze and checked it. It was true.
"How … How did you get it?" She couldn't believe it, as it wasn't something that could be bought.
Lu Yin said, "Just use it. Why do you care how I got it?"
Long Xi frowned. Lu Yin's appearance seemed to have changed her worldview. His power level had surpassed the four young masters, and his status had remained low until now. Now, he even had Ancestral Mang blood. Even in the entire White Dragon Clan, there wasn't much Ancestral Mang blood. Only the clan leader and half-ancestor elders could obtain it.
She looked at Lu Yin seriously and lowered her head, speechless, to look at the blood in her hand.
"How is it?
Can I use it? "Lu Yin asked.
Long Xi nodded, "Yes." She then looked at Lu Yin, "If I use it, you won't have it."
"I'm not a White Dragon, so it's useless to me."
Long Xi's eyes flashed, "Come find me in two days."
Lu Yin immediately left Mount Supreme and waited for Long Xi to use the blood.
Inside Mount Supreme, Long Xi began to break through as the blood entered her mouth.
Although there wasn't a qualitative change like passing the three stages, absorbing the blood of the Ancestral Mang was still beneficial for the future cultivation of the White Dragon Clan. It was precisely because absorbing the blood of the Ancestral Mang wouldn't bring about an immediate leap in strength that Long Xi didn't obtain it before going to the Sovereign Realm.
Ancestral Mang blood changed one's cultivation talent, not one's strength.
Two days later, Lu Yin met Long Xi.
Long Xi looked slightly different from two days ago. Her temperament was colder, but she also seemed more noble and fairer.
Long Xi frowned and tossed the bottle of Ancestral Mang blood to Lu Yin. Inside was a drop of her own blood, "Just absorb it into your body before the ceremony."
Lu Yin was overjoyed and put it away. He suddenly thought of a problem, "If I use this blood to worship the ancestors, then if you return in the future, won't the White Dragon Clan be able to use your blood to confirm that you helped me?"
Long Xi said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. Just say that you forced me."
Lu Yin thought about it and agreed. Wait, everyone in Mount Supreme is my prisoner. Why is it so troublesome to make them do things?
"Can you teach me the ceremony now?" Lu Yin asked expectantly.
Long Xi looked at him and sighed, "Let's begin."
…
It was not difficult to learn the ritual of ancestral worship. Although the movements were cumbersome, cultivators could remember them after seeing them once.
One had to maintain a devout attitude when worshipping one's ancestors. Lu Yin had performed this many times before, and he was pretty good at it.
When he learned the etiquette, he left immediately. Facing Long Xi, he always felt like he would be scolded at any time.
After leaving Mount Supreme, he originally wanted to meet Luoshen, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
He had extended the Timestop Space for a few more months, and with the remaining time, he was suddenly interested in the battle technique of 'When Things Reach an Extreme, They Will Be Reversed'.
This battle technique had come from the Desolate Ancestor, and the withered creatures in the Withered Glory Realm had left a deep impression on him. Once they were attacked, as long as the damage did not reach the upper limit, those creatures would only grow stronger.
He didn't want to cultivate this battle skill. It wasn't a good thing for him to wither away, but he could still study it.
That battle technique had long since been imprinted in his mind. It would be a waste if he didn't learn it. After all, it came from an Ancestor realm expert.
As he thought about it, Lu Yin sat down cross-legged and began to carefully recall what had happened.
Lu Yin entered the Time Stop Space.
At that time, the master of Shenwu Heaven, Xia Xing, had arrived at Dragon Mountain early to meet with the White Dragon Clan's elder, Ni Huang.
The White Dragon Clan was one of the Four Cardinal Scales, and they had more than one Half-Ancestor. Ni Huang was a Half-Ancestor who was on par with the Myriad Daos Clan's Wan Zhiyi. She was the closest Half-Ancestor to the Progenitor realm, and she was second only to the Dragon Ancestor in the White Dragon Clan.
"Junior Xia Xing greets Senior Ni Huang."
"So many years have passed. I never thought that the little fellow from back then would become the master of Shenwu Heaven."
"Senior, may I know what instructions you have for me?"
Although Xia Xing considered himself a junior, his attitude was very calm. He was the master of Shenwu Heaven, and if he met Ni Huang with this identity, there would be no difference in seniority.
This was even if he had heard of Ni Huang's legends since he was born.
"Your daughter is still unmarried, right?" Ni Huang's voice rang out.
Xia Xing was shocked, as he hadn't expected Ni Huang to mention Xia Taili. The term "marriage" did not have much to do with the White Dragon Clan, as they usually did not marry outsiders.
After a period of time, Xia Xing left. No one knew what they had talked about, not even Long Ke.
Within the Time Stop Space, Lu Yin did not know how much time had passed. When he opened his eyes, he felt that something was wrong with his arms. He looked down and saw that his arms had withered, and even his bones seemed to have shrunk.
He was startled, and he quickly stopped cultivating. He watched as his arms gradually recovered and sighed in relief.
Fortunately, he had discovered this in time. Otherwise, if his body had withered, he would have had to rely on someone else's strength to recover. That would have been troublesome. If he had paid respects to his ancestors in this withered state, who knew if the Dragon Ancestor would have been so angry that he would have jumped down from the Sovereign Realm?
Extreme Things Will Reverse was a mystical battle technique that allowed one's body to cultivate in the opposite direction, but it was actually cultivating. It was like opening a new path to life. Lu Yin did not know how the Desolate Ancestor had thought of this.
It was no wonder that the legends said that the Desolate Ancestor had grasped the secret of eternal life. He could live for a very long time even if his body was completely withered. This was different from being sealed in ice.
Sealing in ice fixed one's vitality, but Extreme Things Will Reverse was reversing one's vitality. In comparison, Extreme Things Will Reverse could allow one to live longer than Sealing in ice.
This was also a result of cultivating Extreme Things Will Reverse. Furthermore, this battle technique could directly reduce one's enemies to ashes. It was just like the mutual destruction technique on the battlefield, which was extremely difficult to deal with.
Lu Yin was moved by the power and results of this battle technique, but it was a pity that he could not cultivate it.
He sighed silently. Perhaps one day, when he was old, he could cultivate this battle technique. It might even be able to reverse one's vitality and restore one's youth. However, if he wanted to break through to the Progenitor realm, there would be no need to cultivate it.
The scene in front of him changed, and Lu Yin returned to reality. Only a second had passed.
The scenery on the island of Hidden Dragon Lake was very beautiful, and Lu Yin liked to sit by the lake and watch the stars revolve beneath his feet. He could see the development of various civilizations, and there was a restriction on Hidden Dragon Lake. Anyone who tried to rush out of the star would be killed by this restriction. Of course, there were exceptions, and once these people broke through the restrictions of the star and rushed out of Hidden Dragon Lake, they would be accepted by the White Dragon Clan and become their guards.
Height determined everything, and anyone who managed to rush out of the star would be at the peak of their own planet. Unfortunately, in this part of the universe, they were only ordinary cultivators.
In the distance, a group of people arrived. Lu Yin looked over and saw that the person leading them was Long Xi's maid, Xiaoqian. He had completely forgotten about this cold maid.
"Greetings, Young Master." Xiaoqian bowed, and the dozen or so maids behind her bowed as well. "Greetings, Young Master."
Lu Yin was confused. "Xiaoqian?"
Xiaoqian's expression was calm. "The clan leader has ordered us to serve you."
Lu Yin refused. "No need. I don't need to be served."
Xiaoqian whispered, "This is an order from the clan. Please don't make things difficult for us."
Lu Yin thought about it. "Do as you wish, but I don't need to be served. You can stay here."
"Thank you, Young Master," Xiaoqian replied, and the group of maids behind her entered Lu Yin's residence to help him tidy up.
Ever since Lu Yin had stepped onto the path of cultivation, he had rarely been served. In King Zishan's palace, Zhao Ran was not considered serving him, and he was not used to having so many maids.
Xiaoqian stood not too far behind Lu Yin and looked at him.
Lu Yin did not need to turn around to know what she was thinking. "Is there something you want to ask?"
Xiaoqian lowered her voice respectfully. "Xiaoqian doesn't dare."
Lu Yin turned around. "I don't know where Long Xi went. We were separated in the Sovereign Realm."
"Yes, Xiaoqian knows."
Lu Yin knew that she had a good relationship with Long Xi, so he purposely said this before falling silent.
After a while, Xiaoqian suddenly spoke up. "Young Master, do you have any plans to leave Hidden Dragon Lake in the near future?"
Lu Yin was puzzled. "I didn't before the ancestral ceremony. Why are you asking?"
Xiaoqian whispered, "Before I came here, I saw a gathering of people from the side branches. Young Master Long Zhang, Dragonquarry, and a group of disciples from the side branches were among them. They seemed to want to lure you away from Hidden Dragon Lake and cause trouble."
Lu Yin was amused. "You heard that?"
Xiaoqian respectfully replied, "Yes."
Lu Yin turned around and looked outside Hidden Dragon Lake. The people from the side branches could not enter this place, so if they wanted to cause trouble, they would have to lure him away. However, if Xiaoqian had not mentioned it, he would have forgotten about it. Qingchen had told him that the governor did not like impulsive people and preferred people who did not show their emotions.
If Long Zhang and the others were to cause trouble, wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity for Lu Yin to reveal his true nature?
If the governor was Mister Mu, then he would be Lu Yin's master and would understand him well. If it was not Mister Mu, then Lu Yin would not be able to find a way to become Mister Mu's disciple.
"Xiaoqian, how do you think Long Zhang and the others will lure me out?" Lu Yin asked.
Xiaoqian shook her head. "I don't know."
Lu Yin looked outside Hidden Dragon Lake and muttered to himself, "I hope they have some brains. Otherwise, it won't be fun." Suddenly, he shouted, "Xiaoqian, do you have a fishing rod?"
Stars swayed within Hidden Dragon Lake. It looked like a starry sky, but there was also lake water. However, each star was separated by an invisible force and was not submerged by the lake water.
Within Dragon Mountain, no matter if it was Hidden Dragon Lake or any other lake, anyone who could fish was not an ordinary person, and Lu Yin could do it now.
A strange fish the size of a mountain leapt out of the lake. Lu Yin laughed and tossed it out. It landed on the other side of the lake and smashed into the water, causing the entire island to shake.
The next day, someone challenged Lu Yin outside Hidden Dragon Lake.
"Mister, a young master from the Wulong branch is here to challenge you," a maid reported respectfully.
"Alright!" Lu Yin shouted, giving the maidservant a fright. Xiaoqian, who wasn't too far away, and the young master from the Wulong Branch were startled as well. Even the Crouching Dragon Lake was stirred up by Lu Yin's words.
The young master from the Wulong branch was a Cruiser, which was not bad for his age group. However, because he came from the Four Way Scale, he was not very conspicuous and could not even compare to Dragonquarry.
