Internally, Lu Yin was in charge, which was a good thing for the mountain range. Twenty years ago, Old Man Gu had been unhappy that Lu Yin had used his weakness against him, but after the Cosmic Sea incident, Lu Yin had saved the mountain range. Old Man Gu remembered this favor, and his attitude towards Lu Yin had completely changed.
Lu Yin had saved their lives, and Old Man Gu would never forget this favor.
Outside, the threat of the Eternals had been removed, and peace had returned to the universe. Although there was now the Above Heaven Sect above them, Old Man Gu did not care since Lu Yin was in charge.
"Also, Alliance Leader Lu saved our lives back in the Cosmic Sea. Our mountain range will definitely repay this favor," Old Man Gu said.
Lu Yin smiled. "Then Senior will have to repay more than just that."
Old Man Gu was confused. "What does Alliance Leader Lu mean?"
"Senior, are you familiar with the power that you cultivate?"
Lu Yin asked.
Old Man Gu was even more confused. "The power that you cultivate?
Alliance Leader Lu, are you talking about Starsource? "
"Of course not, it's the smoke from your mountain range," Lu Yin said.
Old Man Gu did not understand. "What does Alliance Leader Lu mean?
I don't understand. "
Lu Yin said, "Micro Induction."
Old Man Gu was shocked. "How does Alliance Leader Lu know the technique that my mountain range cultivates?"
"Senior knows about Micro Induction?
Then why is Micro called Smoke? "
Lu Yin was puzzled.
Old Man Gu still did not understand. "What Micro?
I really don't understand what Alliance Leader Lu is talking about. "
"Don't you know that the smoke that you cultivate is not smoke?
It's a power called Micro that comes from the Fog Ancestor, "Lu Yin said.
Old Man Gu was shocked. "Micro?
We really didn't know. No wonder it's called Micro Induction. So that's what it means. "
Lu Yin was not sure if Old Man Gu really did not know or if he was just playing dumb, but there was no need to play dumb. The power that the Mountain Range controlled was not very strong, and at most, it could be used to equip an army. It was not very useful to true powerhouses.
"Alliance Leader Lu, how do you know about Micro Induction?
Could it be Yun Tingting? "
Old Man Gu asked.
Lu Yin said, "I'll tell you when I get back. For now, I only know Micro Induction, and it might be similar to what you know. I can't help you. If I have a follow-up technique, I will give it to you."
Old Man Gu was confused by Lu Yin's words and couldn't get any more information.
Looking at the wireless Gu, he only knew one thing. Lu Yin seemed to be able to obtain the follow-up to the minute lead method. But was there a follow-up to the minute lead method?
Yun Tingting's sect had a better grasp of this power than Lu Yin's, but there was a limit to it. If she had a follow-up technique, Lu Yin would not have told her about it now, which was strange.
Lu Yin also entered Mount Supreme, and in front of him was Yun Tingting.
Yun Tingting looked at Lu Yin calmly. She had changed a lot from when she had first been locked up. From Lu Yin's point of view, she had become numb from being locked up.
"You said you would let me go," Yun Tingting said indifferently.
Lu Yin replied, "I'll take you to the Astral Tree."
Yun Tingting sneered. She did not believe him at all.
"You should be aware of what happened during this time. The Astral Tree Expedition's army has arrived at the Fifth Mainland, and the Everlasting Tribe has also made their move. However, I've already dealt with all of that. My next step is to go to the Astral Tree Realm, and I'll let you go," Lu Yin said.
Yun Tingting calmly replied, "I don't have what you want here."
Lu Yin asked, "You're cultivating the Minute Induction Technique, right?"
Yun Tingting asked.
She did not answer, as this was not strange at all. The people of the Smoke Gulp Mountain Range also cultivated this technique.
"Then, do you know about this power called Minute?" Lu Yin asked.
Yun Tingting's eyes went wide, and she stared at Lu Yin in disbelief.
Lu Yin knew the answer from her gaze, "The Smoke Gulp Mountain Range still does not know that they cultivate Minute, not Smoke. You didn't tell them either, and now you're telling me that you don't have anything I want to know?"
Yun Tingting was puzzled, "How do you know?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up, "Because I also know the Minute Induction Technique. I also know that this power comes from the Mist Ancestor, and it's different from astral sources. However, you descendants treat it as an external attack method, which is completely different from the Mist Ancestor's."
Yun Tingting frowned, "The Minute Induction Technique is the power of Minute, and Minute is essentially an external object created by the Mist Ancestor. That's all we can control."
Lu Yin understood. Just like the Specter Clan, they could cultivate and control death energy, but they could not create it. They could only be considered users, not cultivators.
"Just like the Gulp Mountain Range, your Smoke Cloud Sect only learned the Minute Induction Technique?"
Lu Yin asked.
Yun Tingting replied, "We learned much more than the Smoke Gulp Mountain Range, but we still have the Minute Induction Technique, and it can be considered complete. However, we don't know the rest. Rumor has it that the Mist Ancestor can use Minute's power to change the world, but we don't even know a millionth of it."
"How did you guys learn the Minute Induction Technique?"
Lu Yin was curious.
Yun Tingting looked at Lu Yin, "Will you really let me go?"
"There's no point in keeping you alive," Lu Yin said. Although his words were harsh, Yun Tingting believed him. She truly had no value to Lu Yin.
They had been trapped at Mount Supreme because Lu Yin did not want to expose the existence of the Cosmic Tree Realm. He did not want any variables to appear. Now, even people from the Above Heavens era had appeared, let alone the Cosmic Tree Realm.
Even if they were released in the Cosmic Tree Realm, they wouldn't be able to cause any harm to Lu Yin, let alone the Fifth Mainland.
Yun Tingting recalled, "I once heard my father mention that our Misty Cloud Sect's ancestor once served the Misty Ancestor, and he was considered an outer sect disciple that the Misty Ancestor did not acknowledge. At that time, the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands were in a decisive battle, and the Misty Ancestor's Nine Mountains and Eight Seas met with an unforeseen event. Everything happened too quickly, and my ancestor managed to survive. He followed the Misty Ancestor to the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas.
"The Mist Ancestor didn't go to the Cosmic Tree Realm?"
Lu Yin asked, thinking back to what Feng Mo had said. The Mountain Sea should have been left behind on the Fifth Mainland.
Yun Tingting shook her head, "I'm sure that Father said that the Mist Ancestor did not go to the Cosmic Tree Realm with the Four Cardinal Scales, and no one knows where she went. Our ancestor did visit the Four Cardinal Scales when he was alive, but because he was only a half-step Ancestor, he did not have the qualifications to meet the Four Cardinal Scales' Ancestor. Thus, he did not know where the Mist Ancestor went, and he only passed down the Minute Induction Technique that the Mist Ancestor taught him.
"He obtained the Minute Induction Technique so that he could control the Mist Ancestor's Minute Induction Techniques and better serve the Mist Ancestor."
Lu Yin nodded. "The Mist Ancestor didn't have a successor?"
Yun Tingting shook her head. "No. According to our ancestor's ancient records, the Mist Ancestor was an infatuated person."
"What do you mean?"
Lu Yin did not understand.
Yun Tingting replied, "I don't know. That's what the ancient records say. They were written by our ancestor, but I don't know the specifics. Our ancestor also recorded some of the Mist Ancestor's deeds, but they were all trivial matters. The Mist Ancestor rarely left the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas that she inherited …"
Lu Yin left. Yun Tingting knew about this.
Her knowledge was limited, or rather, the Misty Cloud Sect's knowledge was limited as well.
Infatuated?
Infatuated?
Or something else?
The Nine Mountains and Eight Seas was a type of inheritance, and any Progenitor who managed to reach the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas was no ordinary Progenitor. They all had the power to change the heavens and the earth.
Progenitor Chen, the Symbol Ancestor, and the Mist Ancestor were all like this, so the Four Cardinal Scales' Ancestor would definitely not be any weaker.
When Lu Yin thought about how he would definitely have to face off against the Four Cardinal Scales' Ancestor in the future, Lu Yin felt a little uncertain. Even if he gathered all of the Fifth Mainland's strength, he still would not be a match for any of the Four Cardinal Scales' families. As long as the other side sent out a Progenitor, they would be finished in the Astral Tree Realm.
Unless he lured them to the Fifth Mainland, then with Progenitor Chen's strength, Lu Yin was confident that he could even put up a fight against existences like Wang Fan and Bai Wangyuan.
Lu Yin took out the mirror and entered. He looked at the fog around him and said, "Every time you attack, you throw something out as soon as the power increases. I know your goal; you're baiting me with these external objects and even techniques. You want to use external forces to destroy the fog so that someone inside can come out. Of course, it's also possible that this place is set up like this, but I'm more willing to believe that there's someone inside.
"I don't know if you can hear me, but you'd better give me a response. Otherwise, I'll seal this mirror. With my current cultivation, as long as I'm willing, even a Half-Ancestor will not be able to find you. You'll never be able to come out."
Lu Yin paused and then raised his head. "Give me a response, or you'll never be able to make a name for yourself."
There was no response.
Lu Yin placed a hand on the mirror formed from the fog. "I, Lu Yin, have cultivated for forty years, and I'm only at the third tribulation stage. However, I can fight against powerhouses at the sixth tribulation stage or even the seventh tribulation stage. Give me a few more decades, and I'll be able to become a Half-Ancestor. I've broken through three stages, and I have the Origin Item, so I'll definitely be able to reach the Progenitor realm. Since you're not willing to respond, then I'll have to wait until I break through to the Progenitor realm.
Once he touched the mirror, he would leave, and everything he had said here would become reality.
Of course, this was just a bluff. Since this place was related to the Fog Ancestor, how could Lu Yin be willing to give it up? With his current strength, he could not break through the fog around him, so there was no danger.
He just wanted to use this method to test the waters.
Just as his palm was about to touch the surface of the mirror, a piece of rock flew out and headed straight for him.
Lu Yin reached out and grabbed it. It really was just a stone, but there was a line of words carved into it. It was an ancient language that he did not recognize.
"Wait here," Lu Yin said before leaving the mirror and leaving Aegis to return to the Solar System.
After returning to the Solar System, he summoned the Ghost Monkey.
The monkey had been doing well in the Lu Tianmen Gate, and it had considered itself Lu Yin's servant for the past twenty years. Many people in the Great Eastern Alliance recognized it, especially since the monkey always claimed that it was Lu Yin who had used the Realm Mountain to block the entrance to the Starfall Sea. It had always claimed that it was the monkey who had taken the initiative to contact Lu Yin and that it was also the monkey who had thought of that method.
No matter what the process had been, the monkey had indeed played a part in the outcome. It had relied on this contribution to lead a comfortable life in the Lu Tianmen Gate.
"That's the process. Back then, Seventh Bro and I dominated the Mountain and Sea Realm. If not for me, Seventh Bro would not have been Burial Garden's opponent. It was me who risked my life to swallow the blood of a Progenitor and used my innate gift of shadows to help Seventh Bro defeat Quiet Weep." On a giant planet outside the Solar System, four or five giants were gathered in a circle as they listened to the monkey's story.
