Lu Yin opened the paper and looked down. His expression changed, and he suddenly looked up at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's heart sank, as Lu Yin's attitude had suddenly changed. It was obvious that he was furious.
Lu Yin folded the paper and looked at Xu Qing. "Commander, do you know what's recorded on this paper?"
Xu Qing hurriedly replied, "I don't know. The Imperial Tutor instructed me not to read it, so I won't."
Lu Yin stored the paper in his cosmic ring. "Did this come from the Imperial Tutor?"
Xu Qing nodded. "That's right."
Lu Yin retracted his gaze and pondered for a moment before looking at Xu Qing again. "Tell the Imperial Tutor that I understand what it means, but …" Lu Yin's expression fell. "If this paper is burned, the person who wrote it will not have an easy time. See him out."
The last sentence was clearly a threat, and Xu Qing grew even more curious. Lu Yin's attitude was both angry and helpless. What had the Imperial Tutor done?
Despite his curiosity, Xu Qing was still escorted out by Second Nightking Wang Li.
After Xu Qing left, Kui Luo could not help but ask, "Kid, what's going on?
It seems like you're very unhappy. "
The other half-ancestors looked at him curiously as well.
Lu Yin looked at Jiu Yao. "Back when the Three Upper Gates were broken and the Fifth Mainland changed skies, your Sixth Mainland invaded my Fifth Mainland. Does Sect Master Jiu Yao remember this?"
Jiu Yao's expression changed. What did he mean?
Was he trying to settle scores?
"I remember, but that was a very long time ago. What are you trying to say by bringing this up?"
Jiu Yao asked, his expression ugly. The Sixth Mainland had been defeated during that invasion, and the Martial Ancestor had been severely injured. They had lost a lot of face.
Lu Yin said, "The Sixth Mainland invaded the Fifth Mainland. Aside from the Human Domain, they also invaded the Astral Beast Domain."
Jiu Yao nodded. "That's right. The Blackblood Realm, Grand Martial Realm, and War Martial Realm attacked the Human Domain, while the Blood Homage Realm and Stone Realm attacked the Astral Beast Domain."
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, and he tossed the paper to Jiu Yao.
Jiu Yao looked over, and his expression turned ugly.
Kui Luo grew anxious and snatched the paper. "What's going on?"
Lu Yin frowned. The Absolute Path was the route that the Sixth Mainland's Stone Realm and Blood Homage Realm had used to attack the Astral Beast Domain. After the Sixth Mainland had retreated, the Astral Beast Domain had taken control of the Absolute Path and had been defending it until now. Now, Imperial Tutor Mending had told Lu Yin about the Absolute Path, which was tantamount to threatening him. If the Above Heavens Sect tried anything against the Astral Beast Domain, they would open up the Absolute Path.
It should be known that the Sixth Mainland had long since been occupied by the Eternals. Perhaps the Eternals didn't know about the Absolute Path, but once the Astral Beast Domain opened that path, the Eternals would know about it and be lured in. The threat was no less than the crack in the Starfall Sea.
"I can't believe I forgot such an important thing," Elder Chan said helplessly as he passed the paper to Qing Ping.
Lu Buzheng looked at Nine Luminaries. "This is the Sixth Mainland's business. Why didn't you tell us beforehand?"
The medicine immortal replied, "The Absolute Path isn't an easy path to take, and we discovered it by accident. After we retreated to the Sixth Mainland, the Astral Beast Domain had the ability to completely seal it off. Later, when the Eternals invaded, we tried to open it, but we failed. We thought that the path had disappeared forever, but the Astral Beast Domain didn't completely seal it off."
"It's also possible that they couldn't completely seal it off," Jiu Yao said.
"Can you guys find that path?
I'll go seal it off, "Leng Qing said.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Sect Master Leng Qing, you cultivate an astral source, so you'll be at a disadvantage if you go to the Astral Beast Domain.
You won't be able to deal with the Eternals if they open the Absolute Path. "
Leng Qing wanted to say something, but Elder Chan interrupted her. "That's right. The Astral Beast Domain's Yao Emperor is about as strong as Elysium's Sect Master. After all, he's a celestial beast and is famous throughout history. Now that we lack astral sources, not many of us are confident in defeating him."
Lu Yin looked at Hen Xin. "Sect Master Hen Xin, you should go."
Hen Xin's expression changed, as he had felt that Elder Chan's words weren't right. They lacked astral sources, so they had to find someone who didn't need astral sources. There were only a few people present, but Lu Yin had directly called him out. Before he could refuse, Lu Yin continued, "Sect Master's three ultimates are enough to suppress the Yao Emperor, but there's also that mysterious Skymender Imperial Tutor. If I'm not wrong, he should be a Half-Progenitor." He then looked at Jueyi. "His death energy should be enough to deal with him. Sect Master Jueyi, you should go as well."
Jueyi was stunned as well. "It's just a beast that was once enslaved. Do you need me and Hen Xin to go together?"
Destiny Girl spoke up. "The Eternals were ants that we didn't care about in the past, but now they're riding on our heads."
"If that's the case, why don't you go?"
Jueyi stared at Destiny Girl.
Lu Yin replied, "Because I'm inviting both of you. That's enough."
Jueyi looked at Lu Yin with a stern gaze, and Lu Yin looked back at him.
After looking at each other for a while, Hen Xin said, "Alright, we'll go take care of it."
Qing Ping tossed the paper to Jiu Yao, who then marked the location.
"Sect Master Hen Xin, Sect Master Jue Yi, this is the first time that my Above the Heavens Sect has taken action against an outsider. I hope that the two of you won't disappoint everyone, as this concerns your reputation. You're facing the beasts from the Fourth Mainland that were once enslaved," Kui Luo said sarcastically.
Hen Xin frowned, but he wasn't stupid. The Astral Beast Domain had taken the initiative to threaten Jueyi, which meant that they were confident that they could control them. They could suppress the entire Astral Beast Domain, but when faced with unknown methods, strength might not be enough.
This old man's words implied that he wanted to force them to deal with this matter properly.
"Old man, do I need you to tell me that?
How can those enslaved beasts be a match for Sect Master Hen Xin and Sect Master Jue Yi?
One of them is Ancient Path Master's proud successor, while the other is the Grim Reaper's disciple. They're much smarter and nobler than those beasts, "Lu Buzheng said.
Cai 'er smiled. "Don't compare those beasts to the two sect masters. How can they be compared?"
"You're right. Haha, my apologies," Lu Buzheng said with a smile.
The few of them echoed each other, forcefully pushing Hen Xin and Jue Yi into a fight.
However, Hen Xin had been in this era for twenty years, and he had experienced the ten-person bet, which had refreshed his worldview. These people's words didn't affect him at all. "If the Eternals can make a comeback, then these beasts might be able to as well. Don't blame us if they fail." With that, he turned and left the Above the Sky Sect.
This matter had to be resolved as soon as possible.
Jue Yi gave Lu Yin a deep look before leaving with Hen Xin.
"Kid, do you really believe that they can deal with it?"
Kui Luo asked.
Lu Yin shook his head. "Skymender Imperial Tutor is said to be able to see through the past and the future. He's mysterious and unfathomable, so he won't be easy to deal with. They're just scouting ahead. The Astral Beast Domain must have guessed that there will be a Half-Ancestor at the Extremity."
"Seeing through the past and the future? Isn't that the same as Destiny?" Lu Buzheng muttered to himself.
Destiny's Daughter looked at him with an unfriendly gaze.
Lu Yin had seen it. Lu Buzheng had said that ever since the third strand of ancestral qi had transformed into Destiny, he had been driven mad by the Destiny's Disciples.
Destiny's Daughter had been the most ruthless of them all, and it was all thanks to Lu Yin that the two of them were able to sit here peacefully.
However, Lu Buzheng felt guilty every time he faced Destiny's Daughter.
Similarly, Cai 'er looked at Destiny's Daughter with an unfriendly gaze. She had always wanted to compete with Destiny's Daughter in terms of looks, which was something that Lu Yin could not understand. Destiny's Daughter could not be considered beautiful, and she even looked a little young. What was there to compete with?
There had been grudges during the Daosource Sect's era, and there had naturally been grudges during the Above Heaven Sect's era as well.
"Senior Destiny's Daughter, do you know if there were any astral beasts in the Fourth Mainland that could see through the past and the future?"
Lu Yin asked.
Destiny's Daughter shook her head. "There weren't any in our era."
Kui Luo cackled. "If even the Lu family can borrow the power of Destiny, what else can't they do?"
Lu Buzheng's face turned green when he heard this.
Destiny's Daughter glared at him once more.
Lu Buzheng glared back at Kui Luo.
Lu Yin was speechless, as the old man's mouth was really cheap. He hurriedly interrupted, "This Tianmen Convention ends here. Elder Chan, Sect Master Qing Ping, please stay."
Lu Buzheng was the first to rush out.
A white cloud appeared around Destiny's Daughter, and she left the main hall.
Cai 'er grumbled, "She's so pretty, but she's still wrapped up."
After the Half-Ancestors left, Lu Yin asked Elder Chan, "Senior, what's up with the General Appointment Platform?"
Elder Chan was puzzled. "What General Appointment Platform?"
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "The one I borrowed from the Hall of Honor."
Elder Chan was surprised. "What do you know?"
Lu Yin was puzzled. "I'm very curious. It was clearly left behind by my Lu family's ancestor, so why didn't Senior tell me?"
Elder Chan was astonished. "How do you know?"
"Don't worry about how I know. What's up with the General Appointment Platform?"
Lu Yin asked.
Elder Chan sighed. "Actually, many Progenitors left behind power for the Fifth Mainland to protect it. The Symbol Progenitor and Hui Progenitor's power was exhausted, and Progenitor Chen's power was obtained by you. As for the Lu family's General Appointment Platform, I only know that it was left behind by Senior Lu Tianyi, but …" He paused bitterly. "It can't be used."
Lu Yin did not understand. "If the ancestor left behind the General Appointment Platform, why can't it be used?"
Elder Chan shook his head. "To be honest, I don't know."
Lu Yin's eyes widened. "Didn't Ancestor Tianyi teach you how to use it?"
Elder Chan replied, "Senior gave me some blood and said that I could use it to summon generals. I've used it since the very beginning, but it was useless. Otherwise, the Symbol Progenitor wouldn't have needed to carry the civilization to the Sixth Mainland."
"The blood is useless," Lu Yin said. He had already tried using his blood to water the General Appointment Platform after learning that it belonged to the Lu family, but there had been no reaction at all.
"That General Appointment Platform seems to have malfunctioned, and it hasn't been used for so many years. That's why we were willing to lend it to you. At that time, I guessed that you might be related to the Lu family, but I never expected you to be a direct descendant."
Lu Yin asked, "Did Master Yuan know about it back then?"
Elder Chan replied, "You borrowed it from Master Yuan, so how could he not know? Although he's only a cultivator with a power level of a million, his status in the Hall of Honor is no lower than Qing Ping's. He's someone worthy of respect, and he knows many things."
Lu Yin understood. "No wonder the Hall of Honor wanted us to get the General Appointment Platform back when it was stolen. What if we couldn't get it back?"
Elder Chan's gaze turned cold. "Then I would have had to take action."
