Gui Zu clenched his fists, as he had no other choice. If he couldn't find out the truth, then he wouldn't be able to return.
He suddenly thought of something and looked at Lu Yin's back. Could this person have been the culprit?
"Based on the current situation, the Four Way Scales should have no problem attacking you. Neither I nor anyone else is qualified to protect you," Lu Yin said.
Gui Zu frowned, as it shouldn't have been Lu Yin. Lu Yin still wanted to use him to maintain the balance of power with the Four Way Scales, which wouldn't benefit Gui Zu at all. "There's no need to protect me. I just hope that Dao Master Lu can provide a place for me to hide."
Lu Yin thought about it. "I do have a place. Let's go."
"Many thanks, Dao Master Lu." Gui Zu relaxed.
Lu Yin looked back. "Senior, you should understand me. Since I helped you, I should be rewarded."
Gui Zu replied, "As long as we survive this, I'm willing to give Dao Master Lu 100 billion star essence."
Lu Yin smiled. 100 billion was quite a lot, especially for a power like the Ghost Abyss that didn't cultivate star energy or astral sources. Star essence wasn't a necessary resource, but "I want half of the Ghost Abyss."
Gui Zu was stunned and thought that he had misheard. "What did you say?"
Lu Yin looked at him seriously. "I want half of the Ghost Abyss."
"Lu Xiaoxuan, are you crazy?" Even with Gui Zu's current situation, he still wanted to curse. "Half of the Ghost Abyss?
Why don't you just say that I'll give you all of it? "
"That's fine."
Gui Zu was speechless. "Lu Xiaoxuan, you know that's impossible. How about this? I promise that as long as you help me survive this, I'll find you 500 billion star essence even if I have to steal or rob. That's enough sincerity. This amount is enough to hurt the Four Way Scales, and I'll definitely stand on your side against the Four Way Scales from now on. Don't forget that when your disguise as Long Seven was exposed, people from the Ghost Abyss risked their lives to protect you at the Summit Realm's Cloud Ladder."
Lu Yin said, "I'll repay this favor, but I haven't forgotten that you refused to let me use the Ghost Abyss's death energy during my battle with Madman Lu. You even scolded me. You're quite hostile towards me."
"That didn't stop you from using death energy. It's the foundation of the Ghost Abyss. If you use it, what will happen to the Ghost Abyss?" Gui Zu...
Lu Yin asked, "Is there no room for discussion?"
"There's absolutely no room for discussion." Gui Zu said.
Lu Yin asked, "Then what about the exchange?"
Gui Zu was surprised, "What exchange?"
"The Eternals once left behind an Eternal Kingdom on the Fifth Mainland. The underground is filled with death energy, and I can use that to exchange for half of the Ghost Abyss," Lu Yin said.
Gui Zu was puzzled, "Where did the Eternals get their Death Qi from?"
"Too many things have happened in this part of the universe. The Specter Clan has pledged allegiance to the Everlasting Tribe in order to preserve their inheritance. They've also cooperated with the Everlasting Tribe to use death energy to modify Corpse Kings. They want to create stronger Corpse Kings that possess the power of the Death God," Lu Yin explained.
Gui Zu was furious when he heard this. "They actually colluded with the Eternals? The Specter Race in this part of the Starry Sky is a traitor!
Lu Yin replied, "They're already under my supervision, and even the Specter Clan's leader has been appointed by me. The death qi left behind by the Eternal Kingdom is real, and I used that death qi to threaten Bai Wangyuan back then. So, do you want to trade?"
Gui Zu refused, "No, the Ghost Abyss is the Ghost Abyss, it's impossible to exchange with you."
"But the current Ghost Abyss might have already been destroyed by the Four Way Scales," Lu Yin reminded.
Gui Zu's face changed.
He had already escaped, so there was no need to even think about what had happened to the Ghost Abyss. If the Ghost Abyss had really been destroyed by the Four Way Scales, then Lu Yin's proposed exchange would be a different form of shelter. Thinking of this, Gui Zu's expression relaxed. "Take me to the Eternal Kingdom."
Lu Yin led Gui Zu towards the Neoverse on the Caged Wyrm.
With the Caged Wyrm's speed, they quickly arrived at the Neoverse.
Lu Yin sensed the coordinate seal, which had been left at the foundation of the Eternal Kingdom. Lu Yin had left behind some death qi on it, which allowed him to determine the Eternal Kingdom's position in the vast parallel universe.
He opened the entrance to the Eternal Kingdom and said, "Please."
Gui Zu stared at the spatial entrance. "This is a parallel universe, not a hidden space."
Lu Yin nodded. "That's right, the Eternals left behind a parallel universe."
Gui Zu frowned as he thought of Xia Shenji. He looked at Lu Yin in confusion. What was this kid thinking?
What was he planning to do?
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Why aren't you going in?
Senior, are you suspecting that I'm going to exile you like I did Xia Shenji? That wouldn't do me any good. After all, you're the key to maintaining the balance of power. If I exile you, how am I going to control the Four Way Scales? "
Gui Zu stared at the spatial entrance, still hesitating, unwilling to enter.
No one would place their life in someone else's hands, especially after Xia Shenji's example. Gui Zu was even more unwilling.
Lu Yin said, "Since Senior is unwilling, please do as you wish."
"Is there anywhere else?"
"No, no, there is." Lu Yin paused. "The Astral Wilderness."
Gui Zu's eyes darkened. The Astral Wilderness was not a good place. To ordinary cultivators, the Astral Wilderness was the Astral Wilderness that they could explore, explore, escape, or even take risks. It was a Astral Wilderness, but to experts, the Astral Wilderness was not so simple.
The more powerful a cultivator was, the more unwilling they were to go to the Astral Wilderness.
It was like a pebble falling into a pond; at most, it would cause ripples, but if a boulder fell into the pond, it would cause huge waves.
If a Progenitor entered the Astral Wilderness, it would be like a boulder falling into a pond, and no one would know what would happen.
It was not that the more powerful a person was, the safer they would be. On the contrary, the more powerful a person was, the less safe they would be in the Astral Wilderness. There was an Astral Wilderness outside the Cosmic Tree, but humans rarely set foot there.
Suddenly, Lu Yin and Gui Zu looked towards the west at the same time. "They're coming so quickly. They must be in a hurry."
Gui Zu's expression turned ugly. "Dao Master Lu, if I die, you won't have any advantage against the Four Cardinal Scales."
"There's Elder Chan and Senior Brother. Right, I forgot to tell you that I have a few Half-Ancestors from the Above Heavens Sect who are preparing to break through. I believe that one or two of them will succeed, and they won't be too weak against the Four Cardinal Scales," Lu Yin said.
Gui Zu wanted to say something else, but a sharp blade streaked across the sky from the Technocracy and slashed towards him. Xia Zhen had made a move, which gave Lu Yin a fright.
"How dare you leak my Shenwu Heaven's techniques? Die!" Xia Zhen's voice rang out. Her grudge with the Xia family had been settled, and she was now considered a Celestial Progenitor.
Bai Wangyuan was even faster than her, and he streaked across the heavens. White clouds replaced the starry sky as he extended towards the Neoverse.
Lu Yin frowned. To be honest, he had never fought with Bai Wangyuan before, so he did not know much about this person. However, he was still from Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, and Lu Yin guessed that he should be stronger than Xia Shenji.
The white clouds were about to completely envelop the Neoverse.
Elder Chan appeared. "Ancestor Bai, this is the Fifth Mainland." Three ancestral qi revolved around him, and a strand of ancestral qi transformed into Xue Wuqing.
The Caged Wyrm roared and stared to the west.
Bai Wangyuan walked down from the clouds and looked down like a god. He stared at Lu Yin and Gui Zu. "This has nothing to do with the Fifth Mainland. Lu Xiaoxuan, do you want to interfere?"
Before Lu Yin could reply, Gui Zu spoke up first. "I did not leak your Frozen Immortal Sect or Shenwu Heaven's techniques. This has nothing to do with my Ghost Abyss."
"The techniques were leaked by your Ghost Abyss, and the person who leaked them was a Half-Ancestor. How dare you say that this has nothing to do with you?"
Bai Ran barked as layers of white clouds descended, bringing with them a sense of dread and oppression. This sort of oppression was incomparably sacred, to the point that it could cause fear and also cause others to kneel.
Bai Wangyuan was truly furious, as he had not acted even when Lu Yin had claimed to be a Dao Master.
"I won't interfere. Do as you please, but don't involve the Fifth Mainland." Lu Yin was about to retreat.
Elder Chan added, "We will not interfere with the internal affairs of your Cosmic Tree Sect, but the Fifth Mainland must not be destroyed."
Bai Wangyuan had not expected Lu Yin to retreat so easily.
Xia Qin had also arrived, but she had not expected Lu Yin to retreat just like that.
Gui Zu grew anxious. With Lu Yin and Elder Chan retreating, he would have to face Bai Wangyuan and Xia Qin alone. He might not even be able to escape. "Ancestor Bai, what do I have to say to make you believe me?
Leaking your techniques won't benefit me in any way. "
Bai Ran replied, "That's what we find strange. You're not stupid, but you've done something stupid. Perhaps you didn't willingly leak the techniques, but you definitely stole them."
Death energy surged around Gui Zu, and he knew that there was no point in trying to explain, so he opened his mouth and said something.
Lu Yin opened the Eternal Kingdom's space.
Gui Zu entered without hesitation, as there was nothing to consider at this point. Even being banished to a parallel space-time was better than waiting for death here.
They watched as Gui Zu suddenly disappeared.
Bai Wangyuan and Xia Qin stared at Lu Yin. "Lu Xiaoxuan, what did you do?"
Lu Yin shrugged. "Gui Zu said that he's about to start a war, but this is the Fifth Mainland, and it's impossible for a war between Progenitors to not affect the Fifth Mainland. Since that's the case, I've found another battlefield for you. It's the Kingdom of Eternity that was left behind by the Eternals. Progenitor Bai, you've been there before, and that's where we reached an agreement.
Bai Wangyuan's face sank. "That's a parallel space-time."
Xia Qin raised a brow. A parallel space-time?
They were very sensitive to these words. Xia Shenji had been banished to a parallel space-time, so how could they dare to casually step into it?
Gui Zu had only entered because he had been forced to his limits. Otherwise, he would have entered long ago.
"That's right. It's precisely because it's a parallel space-time that you can act so recklessly. How can I let you fight here?" Lu Yin said matter-of-factly.
"You want us to enter a parallel space-time?"
Bai Wangyuan asked in a low voice. "Banish us like you banished Xia Shenji?"
Lu Yin raised a brow. "Don't spout nonsense. I'm just looking for a battlefield suitable for a Progenitor battle."
Bai Wangyuan stared at Lu Yin. "You can enter, but you have to give us the coordinates and leave behind traces of us so that we can travel through the parallel space-time."
Lu Yin thought to himself that he really did understand. Only the Eternals had the coordinates seal, and the Hexagon Society's ability to travel through parallel space-time had been stolen from the Eternals. They definitely had the coordinates to travel through the Hexagon Society, or at the very least, to travel through that reincarnation space.
