Lu Yin nodded. He knew the origins of the platform, but he didn't know how to use it. What was even more confusing was that the platform was an innate gift, so how could it materialize?
Was it possible to use it just by reaching the Progenitor realm?
Then who did this platform belong to?
Lu Yin believed that once it was used, it would be able to summon an extremely strong powerhouse. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been worth Forefather Tianyi leaving it behind. But why was it useless?
"Alright, don't think too much about the platform. If it can't be used, then it can't be used. It's probably broken, so let's just wait for news from the Astral Beast Domain. There can't be any problems with the Absolute Path, or it'll be another entrance to the Starfall Sea. You can borrow Progenitor Chen's power, but you can't affect the Astral Beast Domain."
Lu Yin felt helpless. Progenitor Chen's power only covered the Human Domain, so he couldn't do anything to the Astral Beast Domain.
He was almost invincible in the Human Domain, but once he left, he would be beaten back to his original state.
"How's the starsource?" Qing Ping asked.
Lu Yin calculated. "There's not enough time, so I can't get much."
Qing Ping looked outside. "I don't want to wait any longer. I have to go there as soon as possible."
"It's not a good thing to miss the best opportunity to break through. Go if you want," Elder Chan said. "Just don't let anyone discover your identity."
Lu Yin asked, "Through the place where I came from?"
He hadn't cared much about this before, but now his thoughts had changed. He wanted to go with his senior so that they could take care of each other and also find a way to bring Red Flower Garden and some people from the Alliance.
The New Sky Corridor had been destroyed, and the Four Scales still didn't know what had happened. Once they found out, the remaining Lu family members would be the best way to threaten Lu Yin.
Those from the Above Sky Sect wouldn't do anything, but that didn't mean that the Four Scales wouldn't. Lu Yin had to ensure that he didn't have to worry about his own safety.
When he thought about the crazy people in Red Flower Garden, Lu Yin panicked. There were also those from the Qiming family and the Alliance. When he had escaped, some of the remaining Lu family members had helped him. He didn't want to give up on these people.
Elder Chan said, "That sourcebox array was left behind by Progenitor Hui. When the Lu family led some people to move the Mother Tree and leave the Fifth Mainland, Progenitor Hui left us a way out. If the Astral Tree, we can return to the Fifth Mainland.... if the Fifth, some people can also go to the Astral Tree."
"Can a lot of people go?"
Lu Yin..
Elder Chan glanced at Lu Yin's cosmic ring. "Mount Supreme."
Mount Supreme could ensure that the Fifth Mainland would be able to take away a portion of its people when they were in danger, but it had still been given to him. This meant that the Hall of Honor had valued him greatly at that time, or rather, Elder Chan had valued him greatly.
This was not only because he was invincible among his peers in the Sovereign Tournament, but also because of Mister Mu.
"Senior Brother, I'll go with you to the Starry Sky of Trees."
Both Elder Chan and Qing Ping were surprised. "You're going?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Of course."
"Very dangerous," Qing Ping said.
Even Elder Chan hadn't expected Lu Yin to actually want to go. With Progenitor Chen's power, Lu Yin could be considered invincible in the Fifth Mainland's Human Domain. Even if a Progenitor from the Four Cardinal Scales came, they might not be able to match Progenitor Chen's power. Under such circumstances, Lu Yin still wanted to go to the Astral Tree Domain. Once he was discovered, it wouldn't be as easy to escape as last time.
Lu Yin felt helpless. "I know it's dangerous, but there are some things that must be done. Don't worry, I have a way to prevent a Half-Ancestor from seeing through my identity as long as I don't run into a Progenitor."
In the past, Death Mask had not been able to fool a Half-Ancestor, but now, with the new power in his heart, even Half-Ancestors couldn't see through him. This was something he had specially asked the Mist Ancestor to try.
If even the Mist Ancestor couldn't see through him, Lu Yin didn't believe that a Half-Ancestor could be more powerful than her.
Although the Mist Ancestor could only use the strength of a Half-Ancestor, she was still a Progenitor who had been in the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. Her eyesight and experience were not something an ordinary Half-Ancestor could compare to.
When he thought of this, Lu Yin looked at Qing Ping. He was very curious about what Qing Ping had said before. Once he broke through to Half-Ancestor, he would be invincible. He was even more confident than Lu Yin himself.
"You can go if you want, but I'll wait for you for a month at most. We'll meet in the Neoverse in a month," Qing Ping said before leaving.
Elder Chan fell into deep thought, wondering if he should go with them. There wasn't much to explore in the Fifth Mainland, but the Astral Tree Domain was different.
Perhaps they could go.
Since they had decided to go, there were some things that needed to be prepared, such as interrogating the expeditionary army.
Lu Yin hadn't paid much attention to them before and had only locked them up. Aside from Half-Ancestors and Lu Zheng, he hadn't thought much about the others, but things were different now. The first person he thought of was Elder Green Apricot. After all, the Hidden Earth Society's influence in the Astral Tree Domain wasn't low.
There was also Wang Su, who hadn't participated in the competition for the position of Dao Disciple.
Wang Su was one of the Four Young Ancestors of the Astral Tree Domain and was much more powerful than Wang Yi. Even Wang Yi had participated in the competition for the position of Dao Disciple, but she hadn't. Lu Yin was curious.
There were also Xia Shenfei and Long Tian who hadn't come to the Fifth Mainland.
Since he wanted to go to the Astral Tree Domain, he needed a reasonable identity that couldn't attract the attention of the Four Cardinal Scales, but also had to be qualified enough to attract their attention. Lu Yin couldn't think of a suitable identity, so he could only rely on these people.
This was especially true for Elder Green Apricot; the Hidden Earth Society should be able to provide a candidate.
But if he went to the Astral Tree Domain, what would happen to Hen Xin and Jueyi?
If those two stayed on the Fifth Mainland and no one restrained them, it would be troublesome if something happened. However, he couldn't act against them just because of his misgivings. After all, they were both Elysium's Sect Masters, and the consequences of killing them would be unbearable.
Lu Yin didn't think that he was a bloodthirsty person, so he couldn't act against some random people just because of a guess.
Most importantly, the Technocracy's star essence hadn't arrived yet, so he had to hurry them up. There was no way he could miss out on that resource.
"Dao Disciple, your subordinate requests an audience," the Second Nightking's voice rang out.
Lu Yin looked over. "Come in."
The Second Nightking entered the main hall and respectfully raised his hand, revealing a wireless gu. "Xu Qing gave this to me before he requested an audience. He told me to give it to Dao Disciple alone."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he accepted it. "Alright, you may leave."
The Second Nightking hurriedly left, as his attitude towards Lu Yin was completely different from before.
In the past, he had been forced to submit to Lu Yin because of the Sealed Cage Technique. In reality, he would not hesitate to attack Lu Yin if he had the chance. For example, in Clover World, King Ye had revealed the Second Nightking's true intentions, telling Lu Yin that the Second Nightking had willingly allowed himself to be trapped for such a long time and allowed King Ye to attack him.
After the expeditionary army had appeared in the Astral Tree Domain, the Second Nightking had sought refuge with the Bai family of the Frozen Immortal Sect. This was because the Bai family's control over the Sealed Cage Technique was stronger, but also because the Bai family's strength far exceeded his own. Lu Yin didn't.
Now, he had personally witnessed Lu Yin kill Wang Si without the help of anyone else. Even if Wang Si's inner world had been destroyed, she was still not someone that a cultivator with three Origin Tribulations could deal with.
The Second Nightking's respect for Lu Yin was ingrained in his bones.
The Daynight clan had originally been slaves of the Frozen Immortal Sect's Bai family. People like Zhuo Daynight who had been born in an era before the Frozen Immortal Sect were fundamentally different from people like the Second Nightking. The Second Nightking submitted easily because he had been a slave since he was young.
He opened the wireless gu and quickly connected to the other side. "Alliance Master Lu, long time no see. I'm Bu Tian."
Lu Yin wasn't surprised. "Long time no see, Imperial Tutor Bu Tian. I've heard of your great name many times."
"I've heard of Alliance Master Lu's great name many times as well," the Imperial Tutor said in a relaxed tone that carried a hint of a smile.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "That's my honor. What's my ranking on the Celestial Vanquisher's List?"
"Hahaha, Alliance Master Lu must be joking. Your Human Domain also has a list of people that you must kill for the Astral Beast Domain. Am I on it?
Is there a Yao Emperor? "
The Imperial Tutor laughed.
Lu Yin smiled as well. "You think too highly of me, Imperial Tutor. You're actually comparing me to a senior like you."
"Alliance Master Lu, you're a smart person. You should have guessed why I contacted you." The Imperial Tutor changed the topic and didn't waste any more words.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "It's not that easy to guess. Please enlighten me."
In the Astral Beast Domain, Imperial Tutor Bu Tian's gaze was calm. "The Human Domain has rebuilt the Heavenly Sect, and the threat of the Eternals is no longer there. The Technocracy's truth has been revealed as well. Our next target should be the east."
The east naturally referred to the Astral Beast Domain.
That was indeed what Lu Yin had been thinking. "That's right."
Imperial Tutor Bu Tian continued, "Alliance Master Lu, did you see the congratulatory gift that my Celestial Beast Empire gave you?"
Lu Yin replied, "It's the Absolute Path, so it doesn't matter. If we can defeat the Eternals once, we can do it again."
"The threat of the Eternals and the threat of the Eternals are two different concepts. I know that Alliance Master Lu has grasped the power left behind by Progenitor Chen and is invincible in the Human Domain, but it's ineffective against the Astral Beast Domain. Once the Absolute Path is opened, countless Eternals will enter the Astral Beast Domain, and the threat to you will be different."
Lu Yin asked, "Is the Imperial Tutor trying to explain the congratulatory gift to me because you don't think it's clear enough?"
"Of course not. I'm old, and I want stability. The Heavenly Sect has more than ten Half-Ancestors, and if they want to attack the Astral Beast Domain, we won't be able to resist. That's why I'm asking for peace."
Lu Yin was astonished, as he hadn't expected the Imperial Tutor to directly say that he was asking for peace. The moment he said that, the Imperial Tutor's position in the negotiation changed.
"With the threat of the Absolute Path, why is the Imperial Tutor asking for peace?"
Lu Yin was puzzled.
Imperial Tutor Bu Tian sighed. "Actually, we don't want to deal with the Eternals either. Otherwise, how could the Human Domain withstand the combined attacks of the Eternals and the Astral Beast Domain in the twenty years that Alliance Master Lu disappeared?
This was the case in the past, and it will be the same in the future. Unless absolutely necessary, we don't want to open the Absolute Path and lead the Eternals into the Fifth Mainland, unless someone forces us to.
"Of course, under this premise, Alliance Master Lu can raise any requests you have. I believe that several Half-Ancestors have already entered the Astral Beast Domain and are approaching the Absolute Path. Alliance Master Lu, I don't mind telling you that the Absolute Path is very fragile, but it's also very well hidden. The Sixth Mainland can't find the entrance, but once we destroy it, the entrance to the Sixth Mainland will immediately appear. Our Astral Beast Domain can't deal with multiple Half-Ancestors, but destroying the Absolute Path is not a problem."
