It was a scroll made from some kind of beast hide that could be stored for a long time.
There was a diagram drawn on the hide that depicted a specific location and nothing else.
Lu Yin showed the diagram to Yu Chen.
She replied, "This should be the location where the astral liquid from the Mother Tree is being extracted."
"Extracting astral liquid?
The Frozen Immortal Sect is doing that now? "
The Fog Ancestor was furious.
Yu Chen nodded. "It should be."
The Fog Ancestor was furious. "These bastards actually have designs on the Mother Tree! The Mother Tree is a barrier that protects humanity, and if anything happens to it, humanity will be finished. No matter how many Progenitors we have, it's useless. Senior Lu Tianyi abhorred the practice of extracting astral liquid, and he strictly forbade the Fifth Mainland from doing so. There was even friction between the Fifth Mainland and the Sixth Mainland because of this.
Lu Yin replied, "The Four Libras are doing it, and I even found out about it once."
The Fog Ancestor gritted his teeth. "I'll settle the score with them."
Lu Yin put the beast hide back and took a few steps forward before picking up another one. He glanced at it and then looked at Yu Chen. "There used to be a behemoth in the Middle Realm called the Central Prime?"
Yu Chen nodded. "The Zhongyuan Sect was formed by a few rogue cultivators, and its founder was a rogue cultivator at the Ancestor Realm. He once completed the Heaven's Beyond Trial in my Cold Immortal Sect, and he was the one who established the Zhongyuan Sect.
Lu Yin put down the scroll. The Central Prime had been destroyed in a single night, and that Progenitor had disappeared. No one knew what had happened, and even the Lu family had investigated the matter, but they had not been able to find anything.
In reality, the Progenitor who had founded the Central Prime had gone to the Outer Realm, and he had been forced by the Frozen Immortal Sect to replace one of the Frozen Immortal Sect's spots in the Outer Realm. The entire Central Prime had been destroyed by the Frozen Immortal Sect.
The Frozen Immortal Sect had been able to force that Progenitor to go to the Outer Realm because that person had joined the Frozen Immortal Sect after completing the Heaven's Beyond trials. The Frozen Immortal Sect had done their best to nurture him into a Progenitor in order to obtain a spot in the Outer Realm.
As for what a spot in the Outer Realm was, there was no record of it.
It only stated that after that independent cultivator had gone to the Outer Realm, he had never appeared again.
Zhongyuan was the predecessor of the current Roots organization. When Zhongyuan was destroyed, only a few important people died. The rest were thrown to the mortal world and became the current Roots organization.
Lu Yin picked up another stone slip and read through it. This stone slip recorded an incident from the era of the Daosource Sect, and it involved the Wang, Liu, and Lu families. These were all old cases, and there were many things that happened regardless of who was in the right or wrong. Regardless of which family it was, there would always be things that could not be brought to light, and the Lu family was no exception.
The Frigid Immortal Sect's secrets were recorded here, and Lu Yin read them with great interest. He knew quite a few things about the Frigid Immortal Sect, but most of them were meaningless due to the passage of time. He wanted to find out more about the Lu family.
Unknowingly, a few hours had passed, and the sun was about to rise. When the sun rose, someone from the Cold Immortal Sect would definitely come looking for him.
The Cloud Forest Tower wasn't that big, but it would still take a few days to go through all the books and documents.
Even though there were many things here that interested him, he still decided to look for things related to the Lu family.
Lu Yin only read the beginning of many of the documents before putting them down and moving on to the next one. He searched floor by floor until he finally found four words: White Dragon Overturning.
Lu Yin hurriedly opened the stone slip, and there were only four words at the top: White Dragon Overturning. As the stone slip opened, lines of text appeared. They were not connected words, but rather just names. They were: Yellow Springs, Prison Lock, Frigid Immortal Fruit, and Madman Lu.
Lu Yin looked at the stone slip.
What did these names represent?
The White Dragon Overturning represented the White Dragon Tribe, but what about the Yellow Springs?
Who did it represent?
What did Prison Lock represent?
He knew that the Frigid Immortal Fruit represented the Frigid Immortal Sect, but did that mean that Madman Lu was the traitor of the Lu family?
This stone slip did not have a complete list of names, and it only contained these names.
Lu Yin stared at the two words, and the only thing he could think of was Burial Garden. That was because Burial Garden contained the Yellow Springs Sea.
What was the connection between the Yellow Springs here and the Yellow Springs Sea in Burial Garden?
Lu Yin muttered to himself. He could not figure it out, so he looked for the Fog Ancestor.
"Yellow Springs?
Isn't that in Burial Garden? "
The Fog Ancestor was surprised.
Lu Yin was hopeful. "Senior, do you know what the Yellow Springs is?"
The Fog Ancestor shook his head. "I know that it's very powerful, and even Progenitors don't want to touch it. However, I don't know where it came from or how it was formed."
"Senior, do you know anything about Burial Garden?"
Lu Yin asked.
The Fog Ancestor thought for a moment. "Burial Garden seems to include some of the important regions of the first four continents, and there are also some important people buried there. Even in our era, Burial Gardens rarely appeared. I went there once, but after I experienced some danger, I stopped. After I became a Progenitor, I spent all my time researching other things, so I didn't have time to go there."
Lu Yin was disappointed, but he tried to guess. If these five names represented the five families, then Madman Lu was definitely the traitor of the Lu family. The White Dragon Overturning represented the White Dragon Tribe, the Frigid Immortal Fruit represented the Frigid Immortal Sect, and the Yellow Springs and Prison Lock represented the Wang family and Shenwu Plane.
This also explained why these four families were called the Four Sides of the Scale.
Right, the Yellow Springs. Lu Yin recalled that Mister Wei had told him that the Wang family didn't mine ore, but rather a yellow liquid. Could this yellow liquid be the same as the Yellow Springs Sea in Burial Garden?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. The Yellow Springs represented the Wang family, and the Prison Lock represented Shenwu Plane.
The White Dragon Overturning wasn't the only thing that had been used to expel the Lu family; the Four Sides of the Scale had also contributed, but the most famous one was still the White Dragon Overturning.
"It's almost dawn," Yu Chen said.
Lu Yin looked outside, and his eyes flashed as he took out Mount Supreme. Yu Chen thought that he was going to imprison her inside, and she was right. However, he also released Xia Xing's clone at the same time.
Xia Xing's clone looked around in confusion, and just as he was about to speak, Lu Yin asked, "Can you sense the location of the main body?"
Xia Xing's clone nodded solemnly. "Yes."
Lu Yin nodded and locked him inside once more. He then trapped Long Ke here as well. With the Mist Ancestor's power, Wu Yao wouldn't be able to discover them for the time being. Finally, Lu Yin left the Cloud Forest Tower under the Mist Ancestor's protection and returned to his residence.
Lu Yin could release Long Ke, but he couldn't release Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng knew that he was the one who had taken action, but Long Ke didn't.
At the same time, in the distant Shenwu Plane, Xia Xing suddenly stood up. He had sensed the location of his clone, and he looked in a certain direction. It was the Frigid Immortal Sect.
Even though there was a huge area in that direction, Xia Xing's first thought was the Frigid Immortal Sect.
He immediately contacted Xia Ziheng.
"Half-Ancestor Ziheng, I can sense the clone's location," Xia Xing said.
On the other side, Xia Ziheng was being dragged around, and he was extremely frustrated. "What did you say?
You can sense the clone's location?
Where? "
"In the direction of the Frigid Immortal Sect."
Xia Ziheng's expression changed. "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely. I don't know if it's in the Frigid Immortal Sect.
"Yes, but it's definitely in the direction of the Frigid Immortal Sect."
However, to Xia Ziheng, this was no different from confirming that the clone was in the Frigid Immortal Sect. He gritted his teeth. "I'll investigate." A half-ancestor was trying to delay him, which was much more disgusting than fighting him. He was completely enraged, and he would definitely vent his anger on the Frigid Immortal Sect.
Lu Yin had only released Xia Xing's clone in passing, and he hadn't thought about the consequences. In any case, he would destroy the Four Way Scales as much as he could, especially after seeing the stone tablet. His hatred for the Four Way Scales had increased by another level.
He returned to his residence, and not long after, Wu Yao came looking for him almost one after the other.
To Wu Yao, their meeting had only been yesterday, but to Lu Yin, it had only just happened.
"Senior Wu Yao, when can we leave?"
Lu Yin asked.
Wu Yao replied, "There's no rush. What does Mister Hao Yu think of the Frigid Immortal Sect's Ancestor Bai?"
Lu Yin's expression was solemn. "He's a Progenitor who protects the human race. He's naturally respected."
Wu Yao was satisfied. "Ancestor Bai would like to speak with you."
When he heard that Bai Wangyuan wanted to speak with him, Lu Yin's first reaction was to assume that Bai Sheng hadn't said anything.
If Bai Wangyuan and the others knew that Lu Yin had met with Bai Sheng, then it was unlikely that they would speak with him again. Even though he had completed the Realm Beyond Heaven trial, he was still not worthy of two Progenitors from the Frigid Immortal Sect showing up.
For example, the Wang family and the White Dragon Clan had tried to rope in the students from Yi Xian Academy, but the Frigid Immortal Sect had suppressed them. This was the Frigid Immortal Sect's style.
"Ancestor Bai wants to speak with me?"
Lu Yin pretended to be shocked. In reality, ever since he had met the Fog Ancestor, he was no longer surprised by the presence of Progenitors. He had been surprised that Wang Fan had contacted him because Wang Fan was the first Progenitor to speak with him in the Cosmic Tree Realm.
Now that he thought about it, the Frigid Immortal Sect had Bai Sheng, so the Wang family might have other Progenitors as well, but no one knew about them.
Wu Yao left the Cloudconnection Stone behind and left.
Lu Yin looked at the stone and fell into deep thought.
The Cloudconnection Stone trembled, and then a voice spoke. Just like Wang Fan, there was no image.
"I am Bai Wangyuan."
Lu Yin respectfully said, "Junior Yu Hao greets Ancestor Bai."
Bai Wangyuan's voice was calm, neither gentle nor strict. He sounded just like an ordinary person. "I've learned about you. What are the conditions for joining my Frigid Immortal Sect?"
Lu Yin thought about it. "My grandfather, Yuchuan."
Bai Wangyuan was silent for a moment. "Shenwu Plane controls Yuchuan. Will you definitely join them?"
This question was immediately thrown to Lu Yin. Regardless of whether it was Bai Sheng, Wu Yao, or Bai Su, they had all tried their best to rope Lu Yin in. Wu Yao had even said that Lu Yin should give up on Yuchuan, but when it came to Bai Wangyuan, this question was thrown to Lu Yin himself. Join Shenwu Plane?
Or not?
This was the Frigid Immortal Sect. If Lu Yin said that he would definitely join Shenwu Plane, then although the Frigid Immortal Sect would not do anything, it was hard to say what they would do.
Lu Yin had yet to rescue the Star Alliance and Hong Yuanhua, so he did not want any accidents to happen.
"Ancestor Bai, what do you think I should do?"
Lu Yin threw the question back at Bai Wangyuan.
Bai Wangyuan directly said, "Give up on Yuchuan, and I guarantee that he will live. Once you become a Progenitor, Shenwu Plane will release him."
