A hand floated in the sky; it belonged to the Wang family.
Wang Si's eyes widened, and a strong sense of dread and disbelief could be seen in the depths of her eyes. "Shaking the Mother Tree is something rarely seen in both ancient and modern times. This child must be killed. If we don't kill him, he will become a threat in the future." She then raised her head and knelt down. "Ancestor, our Wang Clan cannot be destroyed by this child.
In the Frigid Immortal Sect, Sect Master Bai Teng's eyes narrowed. "To be able to shake the Mother Tree and overlap the void to appear in this region of space, you're truly a genius. Unfortunately, you won't be able to live. The ancestor has decided to personally take action and head to the Abandoned Lands. No one will be able to save you. The more talented you are, the faster you'll die.
At that moment, a pair of eyes appeared behind Lu Yin. It belonged to an elder whose eyes were turbid, but they contained a supreme dignity.
When the eyes appeared, Bai Teng's pupils shrank. Was this a Progenitor?
Wang Si, Long Ke, and the others were all shocked. Was this a Progenitor?
Only a Progenitor could give them such a sense of pressure. Did this brat have a Progenitor backing him?
Bai Teng's expression turned ugly, and he punched the ground. How could this be? A Progenitor was helping him in the Abandoned Lands? If that was the case, then it would be inconvenient for the ancestor to head there.
"Sect Master, the Lu family's vile spawn is protected by a Progenitor. We agree to Wang Si's request. Punitive expedition."
Bai Teng's eyes flickered. That was fine. Even if the ancestor couldn't personally take action, he could still go to the Abandoned Lands and kill this brat. He had to go on a punitive expedition and turn the Abandoned Lands into a sea of blood that would accompany Shaohong's death.
At that moment, Lu Yin wasn't looking at the Top Realm. He was looking at a pair of eyes that were calmly watching him. He was extremely familiar with those eyes, as he would often see them whenever he fainted or dreamed. They were beautiful, but they filled him with boundless killing intent. He almost couldn't help but say, "How dare you!"
There was no emotion in their gazes, but it was the coldest and most terrifying of gazes.
The overlapping void was about to disappear.
Lu Yin looked at the eyes and raised his arm, opening his right palm and clenching it tightly as if he wanted to grasp the entire Starry Sky of the Astral Tree. He then flipped his palm over and said, "Just you wait."
He was speaking to the owner of those eyes, as well as the entire Starry Sky Tree. He had provoked the Starry Sky Tree and the Four Way Scales.
Lu Yin's provocation was imprinted in everyone's minds. Countless people cursed in anger, but there were also many who were excited. Some were filled with murderous intent, while others were looking forward to the Lu family's return. The entire Starry Sky of the Trees was no longer peaceful.
…
"It's that starry sky, isn't it?" A hoarse voice rang out from behind him. Lu Yin had just put down his hand when he was startled and hurriedly turned around. At some point in time, an elder had appeared behind him and was smiling at him.
Lu Yin hadn't noticed the old man's appearance at all. It was only when the tree's phenomenon disappeared that he sensed a vast power. "Ancestor?
He had sensed the power of a Progenitor. This wasn't the first time he had sensed such power, but this time, it had come from this old man.
The old man nodded and sized Lu Yin up with a look of admiration. "I'm Xue Guanzi."
Xue Guanzi?
Lu Yin blinked. "Blood Ancestor?"
The old man smiled. "Xue Guanzi is my name. You can also call me Blood Ancestor, as you wish."
He really was a Progenitor. Lu Yin suppressed the shock in his heart and slowly bowed. "Junior Lu Yin greets Senior Blood Ancestor."
The Blood Ancestor looked at Lu Yin in surprise. "You're the one who caused the Astral Source Universe's phenomenon?
How did you do it? "
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. How should he answer?
This was a Progenitor.
Lu Yin felt that the Sixth Mainland's Progenitor was far from being as powerful as Progenitor Chen, but he was still a Progenitor who could change the world and suppress the Fifth Mainland. How could he lie?
If he didn't lie, then should he tell the truth?
Absolutely not.
Lu Yin didn't know how to answer.
The Blood Ancestor spoke again. "Everyone has their own secrets. If you don't want to talk about them, then don't."
"Thank you, Senior Blood Ancestor." Lu Yin relaxed, feeling very magnanimous.
The Blood Ancestor praised, "You broke through a phenomenon that caused the Astral Source Universe to boil and even caused the Mother Tree to move. You're amazing, kid."
Lu Yin hurriedly bowed. "I'm just lucky. I don't deserve your praise."
The Blood Ancestor smiled. "Don't be afraid. I'm not one of the Nine Xiangs. Although I'm an enemy of the Fifth Mainland, I won't go so far as to attack a junior like you."
Lu Yin laughed dryly. He couldn't do anything against a Progenitor, and he didn't know if the Blood Ancestor had seen him use his corpse to block his origin tribulation.
"Did you see Zhiyi in that region of space?" the Blood Ancestor asked as he looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin hurriedly replied, "No, I swear that I definitely didn't see Zhiyi."
The Blood Ancestor sighed. "It looks like I'll never see that child again."
Lu Yin really hadn't seen Zhiyi. The top ten had entered the Astral Tree Realm, but he had never seen Jiu Hao or Zhiyi. He knew that Qiu Shi was trapped in the golden wheat field in the seed garden.
"Kid, are you willing to become my disciple?" the Blood Ancestor suddenly asked with a smile.
Lu Yin was startled and hurriedly said, "I already have a master who takes good care of me. When I first became his disciple, I swore that I would only have one master for the rest of my life. I'm sorry for letting you down."
The Blood Ancestor laughed. "Do as you wish." Suddenly, his expression changed and his body vanished.
Lu Yin watched the Blood Ancestor leave and finally relaxed.
Although the Blood Ancestor hadn't revealed his Progenitor's power to pressure Lu Yin, the pressure of facing a Progenitor was still too great.
The offer of becoming the Blood Ancestor's disciple had been tempting. Zhiyi had also offered to help him become the Blood Ancestor's disciple, but Lu Yin had rejected her. Unfortunately, he had Mister Mu, who was definitely a Progenitor. However, he didn't know how Mister Mu compared to the Blood Ancestor, but he was probably stronger!
The tree's disappearance meant that Lu Yin had completely passed his Emissary Origin Tribulation and stepped into the ranks of Emissaries.
Unlike other Emissaries, he had four Astral Origin Cyclones, and three of them were hidden in the three stages. He didn't know if anyone else had done this before, but there probably hadn't.
When he thought back to the last tribulation that had been forcefully sucked out, Lu Yin felt a lingering fear. That tribulation's power was something that not even a powerhouse with a power level of a million could withstand, let alone him. That wasn't an Origin Tribulation, but rather a punishment.
Was that why he had been able to rely on external objects like corpses to survive?
Lu Yin fell into deep thought.
In the west, Lan Xian and Guru Qing Hua appeared. In the south, Elder Jiu Shen and the Second Nightking also appeared. In the north, Xu Qing and the man from the Celestial Demon Imperial Family appeared.
Everyone looked at Lu Yin in amazement, as they wanted to know what had happened to him.
He had been shocked by Progenitor Chen's tribulation, and his absorption of Astral Origin had caused a disturbance in the Astral Origin Universe that had drawn out the Blood Ancestor. There was also that enormous phenomenon. Everyone wanted to know what had happened, but they didn't approach Lu Yin. They were still traumatized by what had happened, and only the heavens knew if Lu Yin would undergo any more changes.
The first to speak was Lan Xian, and her eyes shone as she looked at Lu Yin as if he were a peerless treasure. "It's been a long time, Great Eastern Alliance Leader."
Lu Yin frowned slightly in front of Lan Xian, as he didn't know what to say.
This woman's attitude was a combination of everything that could captivate a man's dreams. Her numbing voice, her beautiful figure, her moving music, and her eyes were enough to steal a man's soul. She could seduce any man in the world, but she was also a Half-Progenitor. She had descended onto the battlefield and used her three strings to turn the Great Eastern Alliance into cannon fodder in the war against the Astral Beast Domain.
If not for the Primogenitor's Scripture, she would have succeeded.
Logically speaking, she was an enemy to Lu Yin and the Great Eastern Alliance. Even if she wasn't an enemy, she wasn't a friend either. However, when he had faced the Sword King's crisis, she had saved him, and she had even blocked the Sword King's first attack.
Lu Yin hadn't expected her to help him block the Sword King's attack, but when he looked at it this way, she had indeed saved him.
She was both an enemy and not an enemy. She was also his benefactor and not his benefactor. Lu Yin looked at Lan Xian with a complicated gaze, but she was still a Half-Progenitor, so he had to show her the proper respect. He thought about it and then said, "Greetings, Half-Progenitor Lan Xian."
Everyone present had experienced Lan Xian's strength, and she had the ability to determine everyone's life and death.
The Void Wanderer Ancestor had been able to instill fear in Lan Xian because he had donned Progenitor Wushang's hide. However, he had still managed to escape in the end. No one below the Half-Progenitor level was Lan Xian's opponent.
"The Blood Ancestor came just now, right?" Lan Xian asked.
Everyone looked at Lu Yin solemnly. The Blood Ancestor was the Fifth Mainland's true powerhouse, and he was also the absolute powerhouse who protected the Fifth Mainland from the Eternals' invasion. Even enemies had to show respect when they heard the Blood Ancestor's name. This was a form of respect for the ancestor, a Limiteer of human cultivation.
Lu Yin nodded. "Senior Blood Ancestor came and then left."
"What did he say?" Lan Xian was curious.
Lu Yin thought about it. "He said that he wants to take me as his disciple."
Everyone was shocked.
"Take you as his disciple?" Xu Qing cried out in disbelief. There was also incomparable fear and anger in his voice.
Lu Yin looked at him and nodded. "Yes. He wants to take me as his disciple."
"So?
You're now the Blood Ancestor's disciple? "Xu Qing asked anxiously.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "I didn't get the chance. There was an emergency, so the Blood Ancestor left first. However, he'll come find me again."
Xu Qing's eyelids twitched. The Blood Ancestor's disciple? A disciple? Was he really a disciple?
If Lu Yin really did become the Blood Ancestor's disciple, then it would be troublesome. He could not be killed, as who knew how the Blood Ancestor would retaliate against the Astral Beast Domain?
The Astral Beast Domain had the guts to start a war with the Sixth Mainland, but facing a mere Progenitor was enough to make them tremble.
"You really want to become the Blood Ancestor's disciple?" the Celestial Beast asked again.
Lu Yin raised his head. "Am I not worthy?"
Everyone present, including Half-Progenitor Lan Xian, could not say that Lu Yin was not worthy. In other words, even if Lan Xian was not worthy of becoming the Blood Ancestor's disciple, Lu Yin was. His tribulation had been too inconceivable. He had defeated Progenitor Chen, who was at the same realm as him, and was unrivaled among Enlighters. When he became an Emissary, he had caused a phenomenon, so it was normal for him to become a Progenitor's disciple.
It would be strange if such a person did not become a Progenitor's disciple.
Xu Qing did not doubt Lu Yin. Why had the Blood Ancestor descended?
The only explanation was that the Blood Ancestor had accepted Lu Yin as his disciple. Lu Yin's innate gift had reached a level where even Progenitors had to pay attention to him.
Lu Yin retracted his gaze, as what he had said was the truth. The Blood Ancestor had indeed wanted to take him as his disciple, but he had refused. There was no need to tell these people.
