The two of them looked at each other in shock. Although they belonged to Leon's Armada and were backed by the Long Sky Island, they had never seen a Half Martial Ancestor before. Although they said that they had the support of a Half Martial Ancestor, it was just a rumor. They had never expected to see a Half Martial Ancestor.
They didn't expect Xiao Qi to be able to invite a half-ancestor to help build the fifth pagoda.
Just as the Ghost Doctor had said, if the fifth pagoda was to be built, it had to be built from the beginning to the end. There was nothing more dazzling and convincing than a Half Martial Ancestor laying down the foundation, especially when this Half Martial Ancestor was none other than — — Elder Chan.
Elder Chan was not only a half-ancestor but also the master of the Hall of Honor. His identity and status meant that the fifth pagoda would be extraordinary. Once the foundation was laid, the fifth pagoda would be recognized by the Hall of Honor and become the symbol of the fifth continent.
At this moment, Leon's Armada was waiting for Elder Chan to lay the foundation with its seven subordinate regiments and countless battleships. Once the foundation was laid, they would start building the fifth pagoda.
"It's a pity that Liu Feng is trapped in Burial Garden and can't come out. Otherwise, we would have been able to see a half-ancestor. What a pity."
The Ghost Doctor said, "Everyone has their own fate. Perhaps Liu Feng had a fortuitous encounter in Burial Garden."
Half a day later, Highsage Leon walked out with a tyrant blade in hand and looked at the abyss.
At this moment, everyone outside the abyss looked over.
Someone had appeared in the sky. It was an elder, and it was Elder Chan.
Elder Chan stood in the starry sky and looked down at the Cosmic Sea. He opened his hand as if he wanted to grab the entire abyss. As his palm fell, the universe trembled. For everyone who saw it, they could only see the universe. This universe was trembling, and the abyss' whirlpool gradually slowed down.
Immediately after, soil appeared in the distant starry sky. Elder Chan pulled it over and landed in the center of the abyss' whirlpool, which was the opening that swallowed the seawater. More and more soil appeared, gradually forming a continent that lay across the starry sky.
The entire new universe was connected by soil. Legend had it that this was the soil of the fifth continent that had collapsed. Countless cultivators in the new universe had cultivated on this soil. It was said that only then could one become a half-ancestor.
Soil was very important to the fifth continent.
And the foundation of the fifth pagoda was this soil.
Elder Chan used his great power to pull the soil from the new universe to lay the foundation for the abyss. He gradually filled up the opening of the abyss, forming a huge continent.
When Elder Zen stopped, the soil miraculously returned to the new universe. The soil that had already been laid down in the sea abyss solidified and became the massive foundation of the fifth pagoda that countless people could see.
The abyssal vortex appeared once more, but this time the seawater was unable to be swallowed up. When it reached the end of the vortex, it would strike the foundation of the fifth pagoda, forming an irregular flow of water. Whether it was in terms of speed or power, it was far greater than before.
The atmosphere of the Ocean Abyss was completely changed.
Countless people were shocked. This was the power of a half ancestor, able to change the weather with a single move.
Highsage Leon narrowed his eyes. Half Martial Ancestor was an unreachable realm. However, he firmly believed that he would be able to reach it one day.
With that thought in mind, he looked at the foundation and waved his hand. "Little ones, let's go."
Leon's Armada cheered, but it wasn't because of the construction of the Fifth Pagoda. They weren't so kind-hearted, nor were they so righteous that they wanted to increase the strength of everyone in the Fifth Mainland.
They were cheering because the Great Eastern Alliance had specifically mentioned to them that they would have priority in entering the fifth pagoda.
As for the members of Leon's Armada and his own people from the Great Eastern Alliance, Lu Yin naturally would not mistreat them, and he even made some of his battle techniques transparent.
The fifth tower has him.
He did want to improve the human race's strength so that they wouldn't be as passive against the Eternals as the Astral Tree.
…
At this moment, Lu Yin had already left Shamrock Enterprises' main world. He had eliminated the Leaf King and obtained a huge amount of resources. Most importantly, he had also seen the dawn of cultivating as an Emissary.
The more he looked at the sapling, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but tease it.
The sapling grew even happier, and it kept jumping on Lu Yin's shoulder as if it was dancing on its own.
"If only it could talk," Lu Yin sighed. He hadn't forgotten about the Astral Source Pill. If the Leaf King could sense and control the pill, then the sapling should be able to as well. However, he didn't know how to describe the sapling.
Before leaving, he saw the list of seeds that Shamrock Enterprises had given him, and he marveled at the Leaf King's brilliant methods. There were more than a thousand seeds on the list, and they were all cultivators with extraordinary innate gifts. For example, Darkvoid's innate gift was Void Explosion.
Many of the hidden seeds were in the various great powers.
Lu Yin handed the list to Wang Wen, who could indirectly control these seeds by controlling Shamrock Enterprises. It was similar to how Wei Rong had spies in the various great powers.
Taking over Shamrock Enterprises would mean taking over their many years of planning, which would be of great help to the future.
Following this, Lu Yin would focus on supervising the construction of the Fifth Pagoda, and if necessary, he could even help with the construction. He believed that the various great powers of the Fifth Mainland were already preparing to head to the Cosmic Sea. Once the Fifth Pagoda opened, they would immediately rush in to snatch the inheritance.
He had to do this before the Cosmic Tree of the Starry Sky entered the Fifth Mainland. Otherwise, if the Cosmic Tree of the Starry Sky hunted him down and forced the Fifth Mainland to isolate him, then his plans would be exposed.
The Second Nightking's expression turned ugly as he lifted his spacecraft and headed towards the Cosmic Sea. He quickly left the Glory Realm and entered the Neoverse's Northlands.
Above Lu Yin's head, the sapling hopped about as he looked at the sky, thinking about how to attract more people to the Fifth Pagoda. Right, should I build a contribution platform?
According to the records of contribution value, it should be placed next to the Fifth Pagoda. Whoever had the highest contribution would have the highest name.
For many people who cared about their reputation, the Fifth Pagoda would be preserved forever unless the Fifth Mainland was destroyed. The list would also be preserved forever, and it would be a good opportunity to leave one's name in history.
The more Lu Yin thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he couldn't help but tell Wang Wen to take care of it.
The Contribution Platform was too old-fashioned, so he had to come up with a better name.
Just as he was thinking about this, Lu Yin suddenly saw a familiar figure in the corner of his eye, but when he looked again, it had already disappeared.
The Second Nightking was too fast, and he had directly pierced through space.
"Stop." Lu Yin hurriedly told the Second Nightking to stop. "Return to the space we just passed through."
The Second Nightking didn't understand, but he still did as he was told.
As for the Second Nightking, Lu Yin didn't know if he had truly been trapped or if he had done so on purpose.
However, the timing of his escape had been too coincidental; it had been right when the Leaf King was about to escape.
Regardless of whether or not the Second Nightking had intentionally been trapped, Lu Yin would never trust him. Once he found someone who could replace the Second Nightking, or if Lu Yin's own strength surpassed the Second Nightking's, there would be no need for the Second Nightking to worry about him anymore.
The Second Nightking brought Lu Yin back to the space they had just passed through. Lu Yin looked towards the south. "Chase after them."
The Second Nightking slowed down and carried his spacecraft south. In the blink of an eye, they saw a flying spacecraft.
It was extremely fast, and it had a strange design that was probably custom-made.
What attracted Lu Yin's attention wasn't the spacecraft, but rather the person lying on top of it: Xuan Jiu.
Lu Yin blinked. "Capture the guy who stole my spacecraft."
The Second Nightking vanished.
Xuan Jiu gritted his teeth, his face filled with rage. He had rarely felt so sullen in his life.
He had been traveling through space and had even decided to go to the World Mountains to see if he could meet a fated person. Who would have thought that this spacecraft would suddenly crash into him?
He had wanted to dodge, but he had inexplicably divined that it would be a good thing if he was hit, so he didn't move. However, the spacecraft did not hesitate to ram into him, almost breaking his waist.
Fortunately, he had grabbed onto the spacecraft at the critical moment and refused to let go. Trying to run after crashing into someone?
What a joke! He was Xuan Jiu, Starsibyl's Grandpa Jiu. When had he ever suffered such a loss?
Was it over after being hit by someone?
Impossible.
Xuan Jiu had wanted to use force to intimidate the person in the spacecraft, but then he recalled the results of his divination and decided to let nature take its course. Perhaps this spacecraft would take him to a good place.
The results of his divination had been a good thing, a very good thing.
He rubbed his waist as he took out his signboard. No matter where he was, he could not lose his signboard.
Just as he was thinking about where the spacecraft would take him, the world spun and space suddenly changed. The spacecraft was gone, the signboard was gone, and he was being picked up like a chick.
Xuan Jiu was stunned. What was the meaning of this?
Where was he?
What was he doing?
He slowly looked up and saw an expressionless face. His mouth fell open. "The … the Second Nightking?"
The Second Nightking lowered his head, surprised that this person actually knew him.
"Long time no see, Xuan Jiu." A familiar voice sounded from behind him.
Xuan Jiu's hair stood on end, and he slowly turned around with a smile that was uglier than crying. "Lu … Lu Yin."
If not for the fact that he was being held down, Xuan Jiu would have slapped himself. How could this be a good thing? This was clearly the worst thing that could have happened. He had actually bumped into a plague like Lu Yin. It was over. His involvement with fate had deepened. This was an inauspicious person, an extremely inauspicious one.
He had never thought that he would one day be tricked by himself.
When it came to divination, good things could turn into bad things. Thus, he had a bad reputation in this line of work, but he still enjoyed it. He had never thought that he would encounter such a situation.
Lu Yin was very happy to have bumped into Xuan Jiu.
He had previously thought that Xuan Jiu was a fraud, and that was what others had told him as well. However, ever since this guy had spat out blood when he had divined Lu Yin's family, Lu Yin's opinion of him had changed. The man seemed to have some skill, and when he had visited the Starsibyl Sect, he had learned that Xuan Jiu indeed possessed the Xuantian Mirror. However, it seemed to work only occasionally. Lu Yin had started to value the man, and he had even invited him to be the State Tutor during the Sovereign Tournament.
However, the position that Xuan Jiu had coveted had been given up on. The last time they had contacted each other was at a fort in the Ross Empire, where they had talked about a very mysterious topic: inauspiciousness and fate.
Lu Yin desperately wanted to find the Starsibyl Sect so that they could help him divine some things. He could not find the Starsibyl Sect, but meeting Xuan Jiu was fate.
The universe was vast, and he had actually bumped into Xuan Jiu. Lu Yin felt that his luck was heaven-defying.
Xuan Jiu also felt that his luck was heaven-defying, and his expression became even more miserable. "Lu Yin, what a coincidence. Erm, hurry up and tell the Second Nightking to release me. I have an urgent matter. One of my grandsons owes me money and is on the run. I have to capture him and bring him back. I'll visit you when I have time."
