Lu Yin also entered the sourcebox array, and he wasn't the only one. Kui Luo and the other Half-Ancestors did the same, as they needed to maintain their peak condition.
There were a total of fourteen Half Martial Ancestors. In addition to Elder Qing Ping, who could fight against a Half Martial Ancestor, there were fifteen peerless experts.
Elder Chan was the first to speak. "We can't wait any longer. Once the Technocracy's Mechanical Ants are exhausted, it'll be our turn next. We have to join forces and fight the Eternals before the Mechanical Ants are exhausted."
"How are the two Progenitor realm seniors of the Sixth Mainland doing?"
The Sixth Mainland had four Half-Martial Ancestors. They were Nine Brilliances, Old Ghost Xue, Medicine Immortal, and Lan Xian.
Lan Xian's expression was calm. With a veil covering her face, she looked like an immortal who had descended to the mortal world. She did not pay any attention to these Half-Martial Ancestors. Instead, she would occasionally glance at the distant Lu Yin.
After hearing Elder Chan's words, Nine Luminaries replied, "The situation isn't very good. Even though Hei Wushen has disappeared for some reason, the two Ancestors still can't break through the Corpse God's body and reseal the entrance to the Starfall Sea."
Xia Ji frowned. "If we can't seal the entrance to the Starfall Sea, what's the point of our final battle?
Even if we kill all the Corpse Kings, there's still an endless stream of them coming in. "
"Are you blaming the Martial Ancestor and the Blood Ancestor?"
Nine Brilliance stared at Xia Ji, his tone unfriendly.
Xia Ji coldly snorted. Of course, he didn't dare to say this. No matter what, the two Ancestor realm experts guarding the Starfall Sea had done humanity a great service.
Elder Chan continued, "Even if we can't reseal the entrance to the Starfall Sea, this battle is unavoidable. We have no way to retreat. Besides, I have a way to seal the entrance to the Starfall Sea as long as we can get close to it." He then looked at Ni Huang. "You know more about the Eternals than we do. Whether or not we can defeat them depends on us.
"Now, please tell us about our opponents."
Everyone looked at Ni Huang and the others, including the Half-Martial Ancestors of the Sixth Mainland. They were also curious about the primeval surnames of the Fifth Mainland.
"You have a way to seal the entrance to the Starfall Sea?
What is it? "
Jiu Yao did not look at Ni Huang and the others. Instead, he stared at Elder Chan and asked.
Elder Chan muttered to himself for a moment, then solemnly said, "Does anyone know of the Sky Supporting Pillar?"
Wang Si and the others were confused, as they had never heard of this name before. Only Ni Huang blurted out, "The pillar that supports the Daosource Sect?"
Nine Radiance said, "I remember now. There is indeed such a pillar, but what's its use?"
Elder Chan looked at Nine Luminaries and said, "It seems that even though the Sixth Mainland won, it was a pyrrhic victory. Many of your legacies must have been destroyed, and you don't even know about the Sky Supporting Pillar."
The Nine Luminaries had ugly expressions on their faces. Back when the Fifth Mainland had fought against the Sixth Mainland, although they had won and had even changed the Fifth Mainland's sky, it had still been a pyrrhic victory. The Daosource Sect had almost been burned to the ground, and it had almost been melted down by that madman Xia Shang. Although they had managed to survive in the end, more than half of the experts who had been guarding the Daosource Sect had died, and many of its inheritances had been severed forever.
He had never thought that the pillar that supported the Daosource Sect would still be useful, as even the Martial Ancestor and the Blood Ancestor did not know about it.
Elder Chan calmly replied, "The Sky-Supporting Pillar can support the entire Daosource Sect, so it's no ordinary object. As for the materials used to construct it, I'm not too sure, but according to legends, it was created by the Progenitor, and it cannot be destroyed. It's also a divine object that can change in size."
"Mount Supreme?"
The head inquisitor suddenly asked.
Elder Chan explained, "On the surface, Mount Supreme is a refined power vessel, but in reality, it's just a corner of the Sky-Supporting Pillar. No one knows how it broke away, but according to the records, even Progenitors find it difficult to break through the Sky-Supporting Pillar.
You can imagine how tenacious it is. I plan to use the Sky-Supporting Pillar to block the entrance to the Starfall Sea, push the Corpse God away, and completely isolate the Eternals. "
Everyone fell silent, as this plan was not very feasible. The simplest question was, how could they push the Corpse God away?
Old Whiteghost asked this question. "There are only two Progenitors in this wasteland, and they probably can't even protect themselves. There are also strong and weak Progenitors, so don't expect them to use the Sky-Supporting Pillar to push the Corpse God away. It's even more impossible for us."
Elder Chan solemnly said, "As long as we can push the Sky-Supporting Pillar to the entrance of the Starfall Sea, there will be a way. The Hall of Honor was only established because of Progenitor Hui. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in Progenitor Hui."
No one refuted him. Even if Nine Luminaries and the others hated Progenitor Hui, they had to admit that his wisdom was beyond their reach. Perhaps there really was a way to use the Sky-Supporting Pillar to block the entrance to the Starfall Sea, and this was the only way.
"Where's the Sky-Supporting Pillar?"
Ni Huang asked.
Elder Chan replied, "The Realm Mountain is the Sky-Supporting Pillar."
"So your Hall of Honor's Realm Mountain is the Sky-Supporting Pillar. No wonder the Hall of Honor claims to be the orthodox." Xia Ji was amazed.
"Then who will push the Sky-Supporting Pillar to the entrance of the Starfall Sea?"
Nine Luminaries asked.
Lan Xian couldn't help but look at Lu Yin again, as she was not interested in this discussion.
In the distance, Lu Yin noticed that Lan Xian's gaze made him wary.
"Hold on," Old Whiteghost suddenly spoke up and stared at Qing Ping. "This person isn't even a Half-Ancestor. Is he qualified to discuss this with us?"
The head judge remained silent.
Elder Chan replied, "His strength is enough to challenge a Half-Ancestor."
Old Whiteghost sneered. "Challenge a Half-Ancestor?
Is there such a person in your wasteland?
Do you know what it means to challenge a Half-Ancestor?
Even in the Daosource Sect's era, such a person would be a candidate for the position of Sect Master of the Elysium. "
Elder Chan replied, "His name is Qing Ping. You should have heard of him before."
Old Whiteghost was confused, but Xia De exclaimed and looked at the head judge. "That Qing Ping who snuck into the Cosmic Tree Realm and single-handedly suppressed the geniuses of his generation and stole the Origin Item?"
Ni Huang was shocked. "I remember now. He was the only one who succeeded in the Sovereign Realm's fight for the Origin Item. Everyone else was defeated, including the son of the Lu family."
The head judge remained silent.
Elder Chan replied, "That's right, it's him. He's now infinitely close to becoming a Half-Ancestor, but his true cultivation is enough to challenge a Half-Ancestor. He fought with the Forgotten Ruins Deity before, and he also fought the Ancient God and the others at the Realm Mountain."
Old Whiteghost no longer questioned the head judge. No one knew more about how terrifying the Lu family was than them. Back in the Sovereign Realm, Qing Ping had not only defeated the son of the Lu family, but also all the other geniuses of his generation. At that time, it wasn't just the Four Cardinal Scales, the Liu family, and the Nong family that had been present.
"We've finished talking about the pillar. Let's continue. Senior Ni Huang, please tell us about our opponents," Elder Chan said.
Ni Huang looked deeply at Qing Ping and clasped her hands behind her back. "The Corpse God is holding the entrance to the Starfall Sea, and Hei Wushen has disappeared. We'll be facing Half-Ancestor opponents, and the Seven Skygods and the Twelve Marquises are the most difficult to deal with. Have you met any of the Seven Skygods?"
The Drunkard gulped down a mouthful of wine. His face was pale, and it was obvious that his injuries were not light. "I met the Ancient God."
On the other side, Nine Brilliance said, "I met the Forgotten Ruins Deity."
Xia Ji looked at Kui Luo, who rolled his eyes. "Why are you looking at me?
Fine, fine, old man.
I won't say that you were beaten to tears by the Undying Deity, alright? "
Xia Ji was furious. "Old man, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Kui Luo sneered. "Am I wrong?
You could have stalled for time, but you forced the Undying Deity to use his ultimate move and almost killed you. If it weren't for me, you would have been finished. "
Xia Ji's expression turned ugly, but he could not refute this. He had witnessed the Undying Deity's strength, and it was at that moment that he understood what the Seven Skygods were.
Ni Huang said, "It's already good enough to survive against the Seven Skygods. They are seven old monsters, and to be honest, I don't know much about them. At most, I can tell you about the Twelve Marquises."
"Marquis Wuyi is trapped, and I met Marquis Green Bamboo. My next opponent is him as well, but I don't know if there are any other Twelve Marquises besides him."
Lan Xian said, "We met a Marquis."
Ni Huang was astonished. "You met a Marquis?
And you survived? "
The Medicine Immortal sighed. "It was the three of us who met him. If we hadn't worked together, we wouldn't have survived. Even so, we were still suppressed."
Kui Luo was speechless. "When you met the Celestial Beast Empire's Half-Ancestor, the three of you worked together and almost died. Speaking of which, what did you three do?
Was it useful? "
Old Devil Xue frowned and glared at Kui Luo. "Those are the Twelve Marquises."
Kui Luo laughed strangely. "You speak as if you know the Twelve Marquises."
"That's enough, Kui Luo. Shut up. It's disgusting." Wang Si was displeased. Kui Luo's reputation in the Starry Sky of Trees was too great. Now that he was with Lu Xiaoxuan, the more Wang Si looked at him, the more displeased she felt.
Kui Luo was displeased. "Old bitch, don't you know how to talk? Don't think that I'm afraid just because you're with Old Devil Xue. One against two, I've never been afraid of anyone."
Wang Si was furious and was about to attack.
Old Devil Xue stepped forward as well. "Kui Luo, don't talk nonsense."
Kui Luo sneered. "What? You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it?
Isn't that Wang Yun a child of yours? "
Xia De was shocked. "Old Devil Xue, you still have such a trick up your sleeve?"
Old Devil Xue was furious. "Kui Luo, you're spouting nonsense. You're looking to die."
Ni Huang and Elder Chan stepped forward at the same time. One stood between Wang Si and Old Devil Xue while the other stood in front of Kui Luo. "The humans are facing a calamity. Before we gathered together, we agreed that we should put aside our hatred for now."
Ni Huang glared coldly at Kui Luo. "Shut up."
Elder Chan was not slow either. He glanced at Kui Luo. "Whether it's true or not, don't talk about it now."
Wang Si raised an eyebrow. "Old thing, what do you mean by that?"
Elder Chan stared at Wang Si.
Old Devil Xue also stared at Elder Chan, and the atmosphere became tense.
Jiu Yao shouted, "If we have to worry about internal strife even if we work together, then we might as well go our separate ways and act on our own."
Elder Chan said, "If we don't have a unified command, it'll be easy for us to be defeated one by one. Let me ask you, who has the confidence to fight against the Eternals?
If we can't replenish our astral sources, we'll always be at a disadvantage. No one has the ability to take the Sky-Supporting Pillar away from the encirclement of so many Half-Ancestors. "
Ni Huang glared at Wang Si and Old Devil Xue. "Let's put aside our past hatred for now. Only by defeating the Eternals can we take revenge. Otherwise, we'll all die. You don't want to die with that kind of person, do you?"
Kui Luo heard this and was about to continue mocking her, but Elder Chan stopped him with a serious expression. "I don't care what you were like in the past, but now, the bigger picture...
