Wang Shang introduced Lu Xuanjun's equipment, as well as the microarray weapons that the Aurora Corporation had been researching in recent years.
Before his return, the expeditionary army had been the closest to the Three Ultimates Sky Gate, so Wang Shang had a better understanding of the Aurora Corporation's research.
Wang Zheng's expression grew more serious as he listened to Wang Shang's explanation.
He was not stupid, and Wang Shang's casual words had shown him something extraordinary. The microarray technology had shown him a different path, one that could not only rely on oneself but also everything else to resist the Eternals.
"You're talking about the Mother Soil, right?"
Wang Shang nodded. "The abandoned lands don't know what the Mother Soil is, but we didn't say anything about it."
Wang Zheng nodded. Microarray technology?
Even the leaders of the Above Heaven's Twelve Elysian Gates cared about it, and Lu Xiaoxuan was even willing to fall out with many Half-Ancestors. If this technology could be used, it might be able to change something.
Actually, they had always neglected the development of technology.
Ordinary people found it difficult to cultivate, so they developed technology to change their environment and resist the harsh weather and creatures. Cultivators, on the other hand, wanted to become stronger. Their mindset had long been set, and they focused solely on cultivation and becoming an Emissary, a Half-Ancestor, or even an Ancestor. In their eyes, the power of technology was too weak.
The Wang family's mainland had a pond civilization that had developed technology, but Wang Zheng had cut it off as soon as it sprouted. No matter how well technology developed, it could not compare to a powerhouse like an Emissary, let alone a Half-Ancestor. Even if those civilizations that developed technology tried their best to break free from the shackles of the pond civilization, they would still be ordinary people in this universe.
In Wang Zheng's eyes, the development of technology was a waste of time.
However, Wang Shang's explanation had opened up a new line of thought. Microarray technology was also a form of technology, one that relied on combining sourcebox arrays and Mother Soil in addition to battle techniques. It was a technology that could change reality.
Once this technology appeared, wouldn't cultivators be the same as ordinary people?
Ordinary people had technology developed by ordinary people, but cultivators had technology developed by cultivators.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Wang Zheng immediately wrote down his thoughts and prepared to hand them over to the ancestor.
At this point, the final Astral Beast Army appeared.
Neither the Heavenly Sin Army nor the Lu Xuanjun Army could give the Wang family such a huge shock, but the Astral Beast Army had done it.
There were a total of a million astral beasts of all shapes and sizes, and they shook the void. Above them were 5,000 Explorers and Hunters, 300 Enlighters, and finally, 20 Envoy-level astral beasts.
The appearance of the Behemoth Army completely made up for the lack of high-level combat power among the cultivators from the Fifth Mainland who were assisting the fourth base.
When the Behemoth Army appeared, Wang Zheng knew that the fourth formation base was secure. Compared to the current defenses of the fourth formation base, the Behemoth Army was several times stronger. Their appearance would turn the fourth formation base into an insurmountable cliff for the Eternals.
The Ancestor Realm experts of the Sovereign Realm were all shocked by the cultivators in the valley.
Mu Xie let out a rare laugh. "Junior Brother, you did well."
The Mist Ancestor sighed. "That's enough power to guard the fourth formation base. That brat didn't slack off."
Bai Wangyuan and Xia Shenji looked at each other. They had seen the cultivators of the Fifth Mainland gather with their own eyes. Compared to that power, the ones that appeared now were too insignificant. However, it was enough to protect the fourth matrix.
Both the Half-Martial Ancestor and the army had appeared, and the last to arrive was naturally Lu Yin.
In
Countless gazes, Lu Yin walked out of the Xinkong Corridor and looked up. His gaze swept past the Wang Family Continent and towards the Sovereign Realm. He clasped his hands behind his back and smiled. "I'm here."
Xia Shenji subconsciously wanted to attack the Sovereign Realm.
Bai Wangyuan sighed. This brat really dared to come.
The Mist Ancestor's eyes lit up. "He's here."
Mu Xie looked around. Since his junior brother was here, none of these people would be able to leave the Sovereign Realm.
On the Wang Family Continent, Wang Zheng's eyes went wide when he saw Lu Yin. He barked, "Lu Xiaoxuan, you dare to come to this region of space?"
Lu Yin looked at the Wang Family Continent. "Even Wang Fan hasn't said anything. Who do you think you are?"
Wang Zheng was furious and wanted to attack, but he knew that Lu Yin had reached an agreement with the Four Way Scales. The Four Way Scales would not touch Lu Yin unless he was a Half-Martial Ancestor. This was the reason why he had the confidence to come here.
Even so, he had not expected Lu Yin to actually come. This was not a provocation, but a challenge. This brat was challenging the Four Way Scales.
"Strange, why isn't there a single Half-Martial Ancestor here?"
Jiu Yao asked as he looked at the Wang Family Continent.
The Beast Emperor replied, "This region is much worse than I imagined."
Hen Xin frowned. "This is a remote place that's separated from the Fifth Mainland?"
Elder Chan glanced at him. Remote?
Lu Yin was amused. The Astral Tree Continent looked down on the Fifth Mainland and called it a wasteland. However, the Fifth Mainland's cultivators had arrived, and aside from Progenitors, the Astral Tree Continent did not seem to have much of an advantage over the Fifth Mainland.
Of course, the Fifth Mainland definitely could not compare to the Astral Tree Continent. Who knew how many Half-Martial Ancestors were hidden there?
However, even if there were many hidden forces, the Astral Tree Continent's remaining forces were not enough to pose a threat to the Fifth Mainland.
Lu Yin understood the Astral Tree Continent, but the others did not.
From what they knew, the arrival of the Fifth Mainland's army meant that this region of space should have been monitored by experts. However, there were no experts at all.
The million-strong Astral Beast Army, the Lu Xuanjun Army, and the Heavenly Sin Army formed the Fifth Mainland's first wave of forces to protect the fourth base. After a while, Lu Yin would have the smaller giants replace the Lu Xuanjun Army, followed by the Celestial Army, the Giant Army, the various allied armies, and so on. In Lu Yin's eyes, the battlefield at the back was just a training ground.
"Don't underestimate this region of space. Do you think that there aren't any experts watching? Look up at that continent," Lu Yin said. He did not want the Fifth Mainland's people to be arrogant.
The Beast Emperor, Jiu Yao, and the others all looked up, but they could not see anything.
Lu Yin continued, "There's a Mountain Sea directly above that continent."
Hen Xin and the others' expressions changed.
"That's right. You should know that it's the Mountain Sea of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. If they want to harm us, it'll be difficult for us to survive under the Mountain Sea," Lu Yin said.
Elder Chan's gaze trembled. "That's the Wang Family Continent?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Don't underestimate this region of space. They've always called our Fifth Mainland the Wasteland. Today, I'll show them how the Wasteland protects the fourth base. I'll show them the so-called Wasteland's strength."
After speaking, Lu Yin took a step forward and walked out of the col. Following him, all of the Fifth Mainland's cultivators walked out and headed towards the battlefield at the back.
No one restrained their auras, and Lu Yin did not do so either. Although he had greeted Mu Xie, he still had to be on guard against the Four Way Scale. Thus, the Caged Wyrm had come as well.
。
When Lu Yin walked out of the col, the Caged Wyrm immediately returned to normal and let out a roar that shook the Top Realm. Following that, the loud roar traveled to the Middle Realm and even the Lower Realm, causing countless creatures to feel uneasy.
Hen Xin and the other Half-Ancestors released their auras. Although their pressure was not as terrifying as the Caged Wyrm's, four Half-Ancestors and a group of cultivators behind them shouted in unison. It was enough to create a different kind of pressure that seemed to threaten the Astral Tree Domain.
Wang Zheng was dissatisfied, as Lu Yin was demonstrating his power to the Astral Tree Domain.
There was a considerable distance between the col directly below the Wang Family's mainland and the battlefield at the back, but Lu Yin was not in a hurry. He had said that he would take over the defense of the fourth base in ten days. Although it was only the tenth day, there were still a few hours left. When the time came, all of the cultivators would climb onto the Caged Wyrm's back and arrive in an instant.
This was a rare opportunity to demonstrate his power, so he would not let it go.
Not only did he want to spread the news of his return to the Top Realm, but he also wanted to spread the news to the entire Astral Tree Domain.
For the past few days, he had been thinking about how to show off his power in the Fifth Mainland. His return meant that the Lu family would be able to walk peacefully in the Astral Tree Domain, and he wanted to let the remaining members of the Lu family know that he, Lu Xiaoxuan, had returned.
Lu Yin patted the Caged Wyrm's head, and the creature's eyes darted around, seemingly confused.
Lu Yin took out a pair of slippers. "Have you forgotten what I told you to do?"
The Caged Wyrm was terrified at the sight of the slippers, and it blinked fiercely before its eyes widened. It finally remembered and raised its head.
In the Ruler's Realm, Wang Fan and the others frowned. What was this kid planning to do now?
"Lu Xiaoxuan, the deadline of ten days is almost up. What are you planning to do instead of taking over the defense of the fourth base?"
Bai Wangyuan's voice rang out, carrying with it the pressure of a Progenitor.
Lu Yin sneered. "You'll find out soon enough."
Bai Wangyuan suddenly had a bad premonition.
The next moment, the Caged Wyrm's Progenitor power erupted, distorting the void and causing layers of spatial folds to appear. The images of their appearance were transmitted to the Middle Realm, the Lower Realm, and the Middle Ocean.
This scene was very similar to when Long Shan had celebrated Mu Xie's acceptance of a disciple, and Lu Yin had disguised himself as Long Seven. Back then, Long Shan had wanted the entire Astral Tree Domain to know about his return. Even the scene of Lu Yin and Celestial Master Qiuling playing chess had been spread throughout the region, allowing countless people to see an Origin Formation Master's game for the first time.
Now, Lu Yin wanted the entire Astral Tree Domain to know that he had returned.
Bai Wangyuan and the others' expressions changed. "Stop!" They wanted to stop Lu Yin, but Mu Xie stopped them. "Don't forget the agreement."
"Mu Xie, scram! We're just stopping the Caged Wyrm from attacking. We don't plan on doing anything to Lu Xiaoxuan!" Wang Fan shouted.
With Mu Xie's delay, the image of the Caged Wyrm distorting the void was transmitted to the Middle Realm and the Lower Realm.
Countless people looked up and saw Lu Yin standing atop the Caged Wyrm, along with the million cultivators behind him.
The attention that had been on Yi Xian Academy immediately shifted.
Even Mu Shang, who was breaking through Yi Xian Academy's sourcebox array, was shocked. Was that Lu Xiaoxuan?
He naturally knew that Yu Hao's identity had been exposed, but he couldn't believe it. He hadn't expected that Yu Hao was actually Lu Xiaoxuan.
He and Lu Xiaoxuan were old friends, but now that they met again, it was in such a situation.
Lu Yin stood high in the sky, standing atop the Progenitor Caged Wyrm and commanding an army of a million. He looked down on the entire Astral Tree Domain, and this was what everyone saw.
Lu Yin faced the entire Astral Tree Domain and said, "The Lu family is back."
