After hearing the Culinary God's words, Half-Ancestor Chai silently cursed him for being shameless. Those students clearly did not have any sourceboxes, but where had Yi Xian Academy gotten so many?
He looked at Lu Yin and saw that there were only three origin array masters in Yi Xian Academy. One was Dean Wen, another was Mr. Wen, and the last was Yu Hao. How did this person carry so many sourceboxes with him?
In the end, the Wang family stepped aside. If they tried to stop them, then all their previous efforts would have been wasted. Compared to the overall situation of Yi Xian Academy, these resources were not that important.
The students all entered, and the surroundings became somewhat deserted.
Lu Yin chatted with Mr. Wei while Mr. Tang closed his eyes to rest. The Culinary God had nothing to do, so he flipped through a cookbook.
Half-Ancestor Chai glanced at Yu Hao from time to time, as he had discovered that Yu Hao's lockbreaking ability was extraordinary. As a half-ancestor, although he did not know how to lockbreak, he had been influenced by what he had seen and heard over the years. He had never heard of anyone using a sourcebox to make students who did not know how to lockbreak set up a sourcebox array. Was this something that an origin array master could do?
This person seemed to be a Realyuan array master. It was not that Half-Ancestor Chai did not know any Realyuan array masters, but he had never heard of such a thing.
As he thought about it, he asked Wang Yan to invite the Wang family's Realyuan array master.
Aside from the White Dragon Clan, the other three families all had Realyuan array masters overseeing them. This was their foundation, and it was also the reason why the White Dragon Clan had been so excited when they had found out about Long Seven's lockbreaking innate gift.
The White Dragon Clan wanted to bridge the gap between them and the other three families, but unfortunately, this gap could not be closed in a short time.
"Speaking of which, what exactly is in this Third Despair?"
Lu Yin curiously looked at the three petals.
Mr. Wei smiled. "There are many ferocious beasts in there, and some of the Wang family's sinners are occasionally locked up as training targets. It's very large, and I've heard that there are even kingdoms there."
"There are kingdoms?"
Lu Yin was astonished, as he recalled that the Astral Combat Academy's trial mission had required him to go to Shenwu Continent.
Mister Wei sighed. "These large clans with long histories have plenty of ways to provide experience. Furthermore, every once in a while, the mountains, rivers, landscapes, cultures, and customs will all change. This is to prevent their predecessors from giving directions to their descendants."
Lu Yin understood this. "Let's hope that they can gain something."
"It's not easy. In this kind of training, it's more efficient to act alone. In that kind of situation, they can only snatch things by force if they want to get something. Otherwise, they would spend all their time searching and rushing," Mr. Wei said.
Lu Yin slapped his head. He had made a mistake. He should have assigned a guide to each of the five groups so that he could act as their eyes and guide them to search for resources.
The resources were dangerous, but as long as they could find them, they could easily obtain them. Hopefully, they would be smart enough to do so.
Elsewhere, the Wang family's Realmyuan Array Master arrived. Wang Yan explained what had happened, and the Realmyuan Array Master's first reaction was that it was impossible. "This kid is so young. Even if he had been an Origin Array Master since he was a child, it would still be impossible for him to accomplish such a feat. This is not something that can be accomplished with just innate talent. It requires experience, and a considerable amount of lockbreaking experience. Otherwise, I don't think that even an Origin Array Celestial Master would be able to accomplish such a feat. An Origin Array Celestial Master can rely on their innate talent in sourcebox arrays and lockbreaking to achieve such a feat, but this is not something that innate talent can make up for."
Half-Ancestor Chai replied, "Based on what you know, who can accomplish such a feat?"
The Realmyuan Array Master thought about it. "There are four Celestial Masters in my Astral Tree Society. Celestial Master Gu Yan is known as the number one Celestial Master, so he will definitely be able to accomplish such a feat. Celestial Master Li specializes in killing, and his lockbreaking skills are not as good as Celestial Master Qiuling's, so he might not be able to accomplish such a feat.
As for Celestial Master Qiuling, I don't know much about her. Her innate talent in sourcebox arrays is extremely high, but her lockbreaking skills are also very high, and they are not something that I can estimate. The last person is Celestial Master Mu, who is known as the youngest Origin Array Celestial Master. "
"No one doubts Celestial Master Mu's innate talent in lockbreaking and sourcebox arrays. Even Celestial Master Gu Yan once said that Celestial Master Mu would be his successor. However, with Celestial Master Mu's current age, he might not be able to accomplish such a feat."
Half-Ancestor Chai frowned. Innate talent was something that could never be understood by those who did not possess it. He had been able to cultivate to the Half-Ancestor realm, and even though he would never be able to reach the Progenitor realm, he was still a genius in the eyes of others. Mediocre people would never be able to understand what innate talent was, and this Realyuan Formation Master was no exception. Half-Ancestor Chai's words could only be half-believed, as he could not be sure whether Celestial Master Mu or Celestial Master Li could accomplish such a feat.
Furthermore, there was also Bai Xianer, and no one knew how good her lockbreaking skills were.
"If Dean Wen was here, then he might be able to accomplish such a feat. After all, the Wen family once produced an Origin Array Celestial Master, and he was even a Progenitor. Perhaps he left something behind, and Dean Wen is very experienced in lockbreaking," the Wang family's Realyuan Formation Master muttered to himself.
Half-Ancestor Chai replied, "Dean Wen definitely isn't here, and it's not possible to accomplish such a feat through the Cloudconnect Stone."
"It's definitely not possible," the Wang family's Realyuan Formation Master replied. He then looked at Lu Yin with a strange glint in his eyes. "If this young man is truly capable of accomplishing such a feat, then his lockbreaking talent is too terrifying. He might even surpass Celestial Master Mu and become the youngest Origin Array Celestial Master in history. After all, he's already a Realyuan Formation Master."
"What's his name?"
Wang Yan replied, "His real name is Yu Hao, and he's been hiding in Yi Xian Academy under the alias of Hao Yu. He's Celestial Master Gu Yan's disciple."
"Celestial Master Gu Yan's disciple?"
The Wang family's Realyuan Formation Master was shocked. "No wonder, no wonder. Is there any way to rope him in?
If we can rope him in, then our Wang family will definitely produce an Origin Array Celestial Master in the future. You should know that the last Origin Array Celestial Master of the Wang family died ten years ago on the battlefield at the back. As for me, I don't have the ability to become a celestial master. "
Half-Ancestor Chai's eyes flashed, as these words reminded him of something. Of the current four Origin Array Celestial Masters, Celestial Master Gu Yan didn't care about any of them, as he hated the Four Cardinal Scales. Celestial Master Li was focused on researching killing sourcebox arrays on the back of the battlefield, and he was also focused on Unlimited Energy. Celestial Master Qiuling was close to Shenwu Plane and could be considered part of that plane. Celestial Master Mu was close to the Frigid Immortal Sect and could be considered part of that sect. Only the Wang family no longer had an Origin Array Celestial Master.
And this was just on the surface. Who knew if the Frigid Immortal Sect and Shenwu Plane had any hidden celestial masters?
Shenwu Plane was still trying to find a way to bring Yu Hao back. If they took him away, not only would they gain a future Origin Array Celestial Master, but they would also be able to rope in Celestial Master Gu Yan.
He looked in the direction of Shenwu Plane.
Ever since Bai Teng had disappeared, everyone had pointed their spears at the Frigid Immortal Sect, but they had forgotten that Shenwu Plane was in the same situation as the Frigid Immortal Sect. They had the most Origin Array Celestial Masters, and they were all trying to rope in Yu Hao. Even if they had captured the family head, the Frigid Immortal Sect had wanted to obtain the Star Alliance, and the Shenwu Plane had also wanted Celestial Master Gu Yan.
Both parties posed a great threat to them.
Furthermore, news from the outside world had almost confirmed that it was the Eternals who had captured the family head and the others. The Frigid Immortal Sect's threat had greatly decreased, while the Shenwu Plane's threat had increased.
When he thought of this, he looked at Lu Yin. If not for today's events, he wouldn't have noticed how big of a threat the Shenwu Plane was. He immediately contacted Wang Xun to guard against the Shenwu Plane.
Lu Yin hadn't expected that Half-Ancestor Chai had only wanted to force the Wang family to cough up more resources.
However, this caused Half-Ancestor Chai to be wary of the Shenwu Plane.
The Four Continents had a special relationship with each other, and although they seemed to be in balance, everyone wanted to break this balance and replace the Lu family as the ruler of the Cosmic Tree Realm.
Originally, this balance would have taken many, many years to break, but with Lu Yin's appearance and his strength, everything he did shook the Four Continents. In the end, it was still because of his strength. Lu Yin's strength was enough to affect part of the balance, which caused the Four Continents to be wary of each other.
Wang Miaomiao found Lu Yin. "Old Man Chai has been keeping an eye on you. Be careful not to fall into his trap."
Lu Yin looked at Half-Ancestor Chai, who was still staring back at him. The two looked at each other, and Lu Yin could see the coldness and wariness in Half-Ancestor Chai's eyes.
"With Senior Food God around, he won't be able to do anything to me," Lu Yin said.
Wang Miaomiao shook her head. "Don't underestimate these people. They've even exiled the Lu family when they're scheming." She paused and then smiled. "Today's matter was delightful. We've finally made the Wang family bleed a little."
Lu Yin smiled. "I still have to thank you. Without the sourcebox you found, I wouldn't have been able to do it. But are you alright? It would have been troublesome if you'd been discovered."
Wang Miaomiao smiled brilliantly. "It doesn't matter. What can they do to me?
Wang Zheng is still missing, and that old fogey, Wang Si, had better die in the Wasteland. That's the ending she deserves. "
Die in the Wasteland?
Your wish has been fulfilled. Lu Yin really wanted to say that.
After Wang Miaomiao left, Lu Yin felt that something was strange. "Why does she hate her family so much?"
Mr. Wei had chatted with Wang Miaomiao on the way to the Wang family's mainland for a few days, and he had learned a lot. "She's one of the few people in the Wang family who's close to the Lu family. When the Lu family was exiled, she cursed at Ancestor Wang Fan and has been locked up ever since."
"She really cursed at them?"
Lu Yin was astonished. He had heard Nong Siniang mention this before, but it felt unreal when she said it herself. Now that Mr. Wei had said it, it had to be true.
Mr. Wei nodded with some admiration. "Not everyone dares to do such a thing."
Lu Yin replied, "I don't know what the Lu family did, but the Four Continents joined forces to exile them. However, there are still many people who are close to the Lu family, even within the Four Continents. I just don't know what kind of relationship this Fairy Miaomiao has with the Lu family."
Mr. Wei had a strange look on his face, and he glanced at Lu Yin. "It seems like Mr. Haoyu really wants to know."
Lu Yin smiled. "We're just chatting. The students have been training for at least half a month, and it would be boring if we didn't talk about anything."
Mr. Wei looked at San Agu. "Everyone says that Fairy Miaomiao is close to the Lu family, which is why they were exiled. She even dared to curse at her own family's ancestor. However, there's another rumor that Fairy Miaomiao isn't close to the Lu family, but rather has feelings of both hatred and love. It seems like she was teased by someone from the Lu family, and after a few times, she actually developed feelings of love."
Lu Yin was shocked and blinked. "There's such a rumor?"
Mr. Wei smiled. "Actually, history is very interesting. You can see the trajectory of human development, learn about various heroes, and understand all sorts of things. At the same time, you can also see some gossip. I like gossip."
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "I like it too."
"That's why I believe the latter," Mr. Wei said before leaving. "The training will take at least half a month, so there's no need to wait here."
Lu Yin looked at Mr. Wei's back and fell into deep thought.
