The leaders of the Seven Courts, the Hall of Honor, and the Cosmic Sea were all discussing this, but no one knew who their target was.
However, Lu Yin had given the highest order to prepare for this war, and he had also asked Shui Chuanxiao and the others to draw up the most detailed battle contributions. The entire Fifth Mainland was mobilized, and the Sixth Mainland was no exception. Even the Blood Ancestor came out of seclusion.
Lu Yin contacted the Blood Ancestor and asked him to mobilize the entire Sixth Mainland.
It was rare for continents to work together in human history, but now, under Lu Yin's orders, all of the Sixth and Fifth Mainlands' cultivators were gathered together to face the Four Scales.
Lu Yin would have to wait and see how strong this force would be, but he was confident that it would give the Four Scales a surprise.
While preparing for the war, the Blood Ancestor raised his suspicions. He wanted to know who their target was.
Lu Yin didn't hide anything and told him about the situation in the Cosmic Tree Domain. This was an unresolvable conflict, and even if he gave up on avenging the Lu family, the Four Scales wouldn't let him off.
In the end, the Blood Ancestor sighed and hoped that the humans wouldn't suffer too many losses in this war.
Lu Yin didn't know if a war would break out. Perhaps it would, and perhaps it wouldn't. He also didn't know how the Four Scales would react to him, so he decided to let nature take its course.
If it really didn't work out, he still had one last move. Of course, he wouldn't use it if he could.
…
"Imperial Tutor, does your Book of Destiny represent the present?"
Lu Yin asked.
"Yes," the Imperial Tutor respectfully replied.
"Then help me take a look and see if there's anything in the Fifth Mainland that can threaten me."
The Imperial Tutor was helpless. "Daozi, the Book of Destiny is a power vessel, but it's only a support. It can't cover the entire Fifth Mainland."
"What can your Book of Destiny divine about me?"
Lu Yin asked.
"It can't be divined."
"It can't be divined?"
Lu Yin stared at the Imperial Tutor.
"Yes, it can't be divined, or else …" He didn't finish his sentence, but Lu Yin knew what he wanted to say.
If it really could be divined, then the Astral Beast Domain wouldn't have allowed him to rise.
From the moment a human cultivator stepped on the path of cultivation, any achievement would be noticed by these great figures. Bu Tian Imperial Tutor must have divined many people, and Ye Futian's cultivation path could be considered legendary. If he had divined to this day, the Demon Emperor would have risked his life to kill his way into the human domain just to prevent Ye Futian from rising.
"What about Undying Yushan?"
Lu Yin asked.
Imperial Preceptor Skymender said, "I can't divine the Daozi, but I can divine the people around him. Through certain things, I can analyze what the Daozi wants to do and what he wants to achieve. Then, I can directly divine Undying Yushan. However, I really can't divine the Daozi. Otherwise, my Celestial Beast Empire wouldn't have fallen to such a state."
"Ghost Monkey, do you still remember?"
Lu Yin suddenly changed the topic.
Imperial Advisor Bu Tian's gaze turned cold. "I do."
"Why do you want it?"
Lu Yin asked.
Back during the Supreme Astral Tournament, Imperial Tutor Skymender had given the order to think of a way to snatch Ghost Monkey away from Lu Yin. When Lu Yin had accepted the offer to join the battle against the Astral Beast Domain, Feng Lin had also asked for Ghost Monkey. The Astral Beast Domain cared too much about Ghost Monkey.
Imperial Advisor Bu Tian sighed. "I don't know how much the Daozi knows about Ghost Monkey.
It was born from Progenitor Wushang's blood. "
Lu Yin's expression did not change. He had learned about this during the Mountain and Sea Realm's Star Tower competition. At that time, Ghost Monkey had directly swallowed the blood of a Progenitor and jumped from the Explorer realm to the Hunter realm. Because of this, Ghost Monkey had confessed. Otherwise, Lu Yin would have killed it.
Seeing Lu Yin's calm expression, Imperial Advisor Bu Tian understood. "Ghost Monkey has Progenitor Wushang's blood, and it's very valuable to the Astral Beast Domain. More importantly, it might know where Progenitor Wushang's tomb is."
"Progenitor Wushang's tomb?"
Lu Yin was surprised.
Imperial Advisor Bu Tian was astonished. "You know about it?"
Lu Yin pondered this. Ghost Monkey had mentioned Progenitor Wushang's tomb more than once. It had wanted to use Progenitor Wushang's tomb to attract Lu Yin, but Progenitor Wushang's tomb had been too far away back then. Lu Yin had never even considered conquering the Astral Beast Domain.
It was impossible for a human to go to the Astral Beast Domain to search for Progenitor Wushang's tomb. Even when Lu Yin had become an Emissary, he had not thought of coming to the Astral Beast Domain to search for Progenitor Wushang's tomb.
But things were different now. "Does Ghost Monkey really know where Progenitor Wushang's tomb is?"
"We don't know, but it's the only place that we might know. It's not a tomb, but rather a burial ground. Rumor has it that Progenitor Wushang was heavily injured in a battle with the Sixth Mainland, and he found a place to bury himself. It's not a grand tomb, but if we can find that place, we'll be able to find Progenitor Wushang's corpse and perhaps even obtain Progenitor Wushang's blood. To our Astral Beast Domain, Progenitor Wushang's blood is a supreme treasure," Imperial Advisor Bu Tian said.
Lu Yin laughed. Progenitor Wushang's blood was as tempting to the Astral Beast Domain as Progenitor Chen's blood was to humans.
He had never thought that the damned monkey would have such a secret. Did it really know where Progenitor Wushang's tomb was, or had it been lying all along?
Half a month later, Leng Qing arrived with an army of giants.
When the army arrived, Ku Wei's anguished wails could be heard. "Master! Master, you have to help me! I didn't want to come to this broken place! I only want to stay by your side for the rest of my life, serve you, and revere you. I really don't want to stay here …"
The Yao Emperor and Imperial Advisor Bu Tian looked at Ku Wei strangely. It was said that humans were full of emotions, but there really were people who were this shameless.
No one could see Ku Wei's wails, not even the Yao Emperor or Imperial Advisor Bu Tian. Even if a Progenitor was present, it had nothing to do with Ku Wei. He was an existence that could scold even a fish, and he was invincible when it came to flattery.
Lu Yin kicked Ku Wei aside. "Without you, the army of giants won't be stable. You can stay here."
Ku Wei crawled over and hugged Lu Yin's leg tightly. "Master, please take me away. I just want to help you overcome all obstacles. If I can't see you, I'll have nightmares."
Lu Yin sneered. "That's fine."
Ku Wei was delighted, and he looked up at Lu Yin excitedly. "Really?"
Lu Yin bent down. "The Astral Sect is preparing for war. Do you understand?"
Ku Wei nodded blankly. "Yes."
"Do you know who the enemy is?"
Ku Wei shook his head.
Lu Yin said, "The Astral Tree."
Ku Wei clenched his fists. "Don't worry, Master. Once the war starts, I'll definitely lead the army of giants to the front and tear apart those treacherous people who betrayed your family."
They had gradually learned about the Astral Tree, as well as how the Four Way Scales had betrayed the Lu family. They also knew about Lu Yin's origins.
Lu Yin said, "Good.
That's the attitude I want. "
Ku Wei was excited, but just as he was about to say something more, Lu Yin's next words caused his hair to stand on end. "Once the war starts, the Four Way Scales will definitely send out one or two Progenitors. You can lead the army of giants to block them, and with your size, you should be able to withstand one or two attacks. At that time, I'll have the space to show my abilities." Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "That's right. Why didn't I think of this before?"
Ku Wei paled. Withstand one or two attacks?
That was a Progenitor, not an Emissary who could destroy space with a wave of their hand. Even if he filled the universe with giants, it would be useless, let alone an army of giants. "Master, I understand. Don't worry, I'll definitely help you protect the Astral Beast Domain and not let these beasts act recklessly."
The Yao Emperor's dangerous gaze swept over Ku Wei. This brat was asking for a beating.
Lu Yin snorted and kicked Ku Wei away again. He then led Skymender and the Yao Emperor up onto the back of the Hellwyrm. At this moment, the entire Astral Beast Army was gathered on the back of the Hellwyrm. There were twenty Envoys, three hundred Enlighters, and five thousand Explorers to Hunters. There were also no less than a million ordinary astral beasts.
These astral beasts had all taken human form and were trembling on the back of the Hellwyrm.
The commander of the Astral Beast Army was Xu Qing, Lu Yin's old rival.
Lu Yin climbed onto the Hellwyrm's back and gestured. The Hellwyrm opened its mouth and roared at the sky, unleashing its Progenitor's power without restraint. Countless astral beasts trembled in fear before disappearing.
This departure took away almost all of the Astral Beast Domain's powerhouses, including the twenty-six alliances.
During this half a month, besides the Yao Emperor personally supervising the astral beasts to join the Astral Beast Army, the Yao Emperor would also ask the Hellwyrm to step in whenever they encountered any difficulties. The Hellwyrm's roar was enough to scare the astral beasts into wetting themselves. This allowed the Astral Beast Army to be completed in just half a month.
Of course, this was only the completion of the army, and it had not undergone any training. However, this was Xu Qing's problem.
Aside from the Astral Beast Army, Lu Yin also took away at least half of the Void Wanderers, which amounted to about ten million. These Void Wanderers were enough to serve as life-saving treasures for the lower-level cultivators, especially if the battlefield was held in the Astral Tree Domain.
…
News came from the Technocracy once again. It was estimated that the Astral Corridor would be repaired in about thirteen days. The closer it was to the deadline, the more accurate the numbers were.
Lu Yin watched as the days passed, and he continued to urge the Above the Sky Sect to reorganize the army. All of the cultivators from the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands continuously surged towards the Above the Sky Sect.
Everyone knew that a great battle was imminent, but the majority still did not know who their enemy was.
Lu Yin returned to the Above the Sky Sect.
The Hellwyrm was still outside the Solar System, and he had been keeping an eye on the Ancestral Turtle ever since he returned.
As for the Astral Beast Army, it was arranged to be stationed in the Above the Sky Sect.
The astral beasts looked at the majestic Above the Sky Sect and sensed the auras of Half-Progenitors and even Progenitors. Despair filled their faces.
Even without the Hellwyrm, they would not be able to resist such a powerful human.
Xu Qing was most worried that Lu Yin would use the Astral Beast Army as cannon fodder on the battlefield. If the entire Astral Beast Army died, it would be a huge blow to the Astral Beast Domain. It would be better to fight the Human Domain and at least preserve the Astral Beast Domain's reputation.
On the second day in the Above the Sky Sect, a person appeared in front of Xu Qing. It was the Second Nightking. "Daozi, please have some tea."
Xu Qing was nervous as he followed the Second Nightking to Lu Yin's place for tea. He had been waiting for this moment, as he knew that Lu Yin would definitely come looking for him. Now was the time.
