The Cloudconnection Stone shook from the seven friends.
"Senior Yebo, have you heard of the Ice Spirit Clan?" the seven friends asked.
Lu Yin replied, "No. Do you know of them?"
"Of course. Although I'm not very strong, I've been part of the Eternals for a while and have some understanding of their powerful enemies. The Ice Spirit Clan is one of them."
"To be precise, it's not the Ice Spirit Clan, but the Five Spirit Clans and the Thunder Lord."
Lu Yin's eyes went wide. "The Thunder Lord?"
"You've heard of him, right? The Thunder Lord is a great enemy of the Eternals, but he's also one that the Eternals don't want to fight openly. It's rumored that the Thunder Lord's current cultivation level is due to the Five Spirit Clans: the Ice Spirit Clan, the Fire Spirit Clan, the Wood Spirit Clan, the Earth Spirit Clan, and the Thunder Spirit Clan."
"The Five Spirit Clans have a very good relationship with the Thunder Lord, and they're also very strong. Senior, you must be careful. If the Ice Spirit Clan is friends with the Thunder Lord, then they might not be any weaker than the Shaoyin Divinity."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Is the clan attacking the Ice Spirit Clan to start a war with the Thunder Lord?"
"I don't know. That's all I've heard. The Shaoyin Divinity told us to reveal our identities as humans, but reminded us not to reveal our identities as Eternals. Perhaps he wants to use this opportunity to sow discord between the humans and the Five Spirit Clans. I'm guessing that stealing the Iceheart is just a pretense. Your mission is to steal the Iceheart, so it should be simple.
Is that so?
Lu Yin was lost in thought as he looked at the Icespirit Realm.
He had guessed that a mission that required the Shaoyin Divinity would not be simple, but he hadn't expected it to involve the Thunder Lord.
The Thunder Lord … I really want to meet him.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Yin had stayed on this snowy mountain for ten years. During this time, he hadn't moved at all and had just looked at the Icespirit Realm.
Occasionally, the Ice Spirit Clan would come, but they couldn't see Lu Yin at all.
They couldn't even see Lu Yin when they passed by him.
During these ten years, Lu Yin had been memorizing the Primogenitor's scripture. This scripture was extensive and profound, and Lu Yin had relied on it to become a true Primordial Space Daolord. However, he felt that he was still a long way from understanding it.
Mister Mu had given him the Tracing of the Ancients, allowing Senior Brother Mu Carving and the others to transcend. The Nine Suns Cauldron that Ye Futian had obtained was also a path to transcendence. However, there was more than one path to transcendence. The power of the primogenitor could also allow one to transcend.
At the same time, he was also trying to cultivate the One Word Incarnation that Old Ancestor Tianyi had passed down to him.
The Dao of Tianyi was a manifestation of one word, and it was known as Chu. He had obtained it from Chu Yi, and it was the cultivation technique of the Daolord of the First Mainland, Chu Yi. The Tianyi Ancestor's true intention in passing it down to Lu Yin was to save him from a hopeless situation.
There were no absolutes in the universe, so there was no such thing as absolute death. His incarnation allowed him to see the only chance of survival at a critical moment.
Forefather Tianyi hoped that Lu Yin would not need to use it, and Lu Yin himself also hoped that he would not need to use it. However, sometimes, the heavens did not comply with one's wishes. Just in case, he naturally had to cultivate it.
Soon, another twenty years had passed.
There was no movement from Divine Sovereign Shaoying's side.
Occasionally, the Seven Friends would contact Lu Yin to exchange information. The old woman also joined in, allowing Lu Yin to gain a general understanding of the current situation in the Icespirit Realm.
In reality, it did not matter whether he understood the situation or not, as the Icespirit Realm was just like that.
Lu Yin saw the growth of a generation in the Icespirit Realm. The cultivation techniques here only required one to face the wind and snow, and it was not as tiring as the humans. However, it was only suitable for the Icespirit Race.
When the fiftieth year arrived, only half a year had passed in the Domain of E and the Genesis Space.
During this year, the world of ice and snow had changed. Lu Yin opened his Celestial Eye and clearly saw that the orderly particles were moving in a certain direction. It could only be the Ice Matriarch. The Ice Matriarch had left the Icespirit Realm and was heading towards a distant star.
The Cloudconnection Stone trembled, and Divine Sovereign Shaoying's voice rang out. "Move out. Remember, only reveal yourselves if I tell you to. Do not reveal yourselves if I don't tell you to."
"Ye Bo, go and steal the Iceheart. It's on the bluish-white star to the southeast of the Icespirit Realm. I'll tell you the exact location once we get there."
Lu Yin raised a brow. A bluish-white star?
That was clearly where the Ice Matriarch had gone. Divine Sovereign Shaoying had not planned on luring the Ice Matriarch away; his goal had been to make Lu Yin face the Ice Matriarch. If he went to steal the Iceheart, he would naturally be the one to contribute.
However, Divine Sovereign Shaoying had not considered that once they were exposed, it would be easy for the Ice Matriarch to reveal that they were from the Eternal Race.
Right, Divine Sovereign Shaoying was not worried at all. The three of them were humans and not Corpse Kings. They did not have any characteristics of the Eternal Race, and the Ice Spirit might not believe them no matter what they said. This was also why Divine Sovereign Shaoying had specifically confirmed that they did not cultivate divine power.
If they did, then this might not be the mission that Divine Sovereign Shaoying had given Lu Yin.
Furthermore, the Eternal Race had definitely prepared for this mission for a long time. Since they had disguised themselves as humans and attacked the Ice Spirit, they would definitely need someone to take the blame. The Eternal Race must have already found someone and had a way to make the Ice Spirit believe that humans had attacked them.
As for the three of them, it did not matter whether they lived or died. Their deaths would even increase the importance of this mission.
Lu Yin instantly understood Divine Sovereign Shaoying's goal. If not for his Celestial Eye's ability to see the sequence particles, then he would have been tricked to death.
"Move out."
Outside the Icespirit Realm, the seven friends and the old woman melted ice stones and disguised themselves as Ice Spirits. They immediately found the two Progenitors of the Ice Spirit Realm.
Soon, the Icespirit Realm descended into chaos. A blue, frigid radiance enveloped the Ice Spirit Realm and flickered continuously.
The seven friends and the old woman escaped from the Icespirit Realm, followed by the two Ice Spirit Realm powerhouses who could tear through the void. They were both Progenitors, and they froze the void along the way. The old woman was almost frozen.
"Ye Bo, it's your turn." Divine Sovereign Shaoying's voice rang out.
Lu Yin did not move and only watched silently.
"Ye Bo, move out." Divine Sovereign Shaoying's voice rang out from the Cloudpassage Stone once more.
Lu Yin still did not move.
No matter how much Divine Sovereign Shaoying shouted, Lu Yin continued to watch the Icespirit Realm quietly. His participation in this mission did not make much of a difference, and he wanted to see what Divine Sovereign Shaoying would do without his cooperation.
"Ye Bo, you dare to disobey the mission?
Even if you are the captain of the True God Guard, you will still die. Move out quickly, or it will be too late. "
"Ye Bo, you're courting death."
Divine Sovereign Shaoying kept growling, but Lu Yin remained unmoved and put away the Cloudpassage Stone.
This mission was definitely very important to Divine Sovereign Shaoying, so he would just let him watch the show.
Outside the Icespirit Realm, Divine Sovereign Shaoying was enraged and crushed the Cloudpassage Stone. That bastard! Once he returned to the Zone of Disaster, he would definitely kill that bastard.
Since Lu Yin did not act, Divine Sovereign Shaoying had no choice but to act himself and take the Iceheart away before the Ice Matriarch returned. The Eternals had prepared for this mission for a long time, even before the Thunder Lord had become famous. If not for the Thunder Lord's sudden appearance, they would have attacked the Five Spirit Tribes long ago.
Divine Sovereign Shaoying charged into the Icespirit Realm and waved his hand, shattering the city of ice at the center of the realm. The Iceheart was right below it.
Suddenly, Divine Sovereign Shaoying felt his scalp go numb. He looked up into the sky and saw a shocking scene.
The sky was frozen.
A giant Icespirit was gliding through the ice from far away, its white eyes staring at Divine Sovereign Shaoying. "Stop."
Divine Sovereign Shaoying gritted his teeth and raised a hand. A Yang Soul Awl formed from the power of the sun appeared in front of his palm and viciously stabbed at the Ice Matriarch.
The Yang Soul Awl contained Divine Sovereign Shaoying's power of the sun. Even though the sun and moon had yet to merge, the power of the sun that contained the power of the Sequence was still not to be underestimated.
The Yang Soul Awl melted the ice along the way, causing a cold rain to fall in the Icespirit Realm.
Divine Sovereign Shaoying held up the Yang Soul Awl with one hand to resist the Ice Matriarch while using the other to suppress the city of ice. He wanted to snatch the Iceheart away.
"Ice Matriarch, it's time for you to pay for the pain you've brought to our Alliance," Divine Sovereign Shaoying growled as a maniacal smile appeared on his face.
The Ice Matriarch's snow-white eyes turned. "It's you. You've already made a promise. Why are you going back on your word?"
"Let your Icespirits melt first."
Divine Sovereign Shaoying crushed the city of ice and killed countless Icespirits. Underground, a white light flickered. It was the Iceheart.
Divine Sovereign Shaoying's eyes blazed as he clenched his hand to retrieve the Iceheart.
In the distance, Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. What was this?
In the sky, the Ice Matriarch raised her round, snow-white arm. With Lu Yin's Celestial Eye, he could see a large amount of Sequence Particles descending. Just looking at these Sequence Particles made him feel as if they were frozen.
The entire spacetime seemed to have been frozen.
Divine Sovereign Shaoying was apprehensive, as he had underestimated the Ice Matriarch. The Five Spirit Tribes were a huge threat to the Eternals, and it was rumored that if not for the Thunder Lord's appearance, the Eternals would have sent bone boats to the Five Spirit Tribes and completely exterminated them. Divine Sovereign Shaoying had originally thought that the rumors were exaggerated, but now, it seemed that the Ice Matriarch was so powerful. The five tribe leaders of the Five Spirit Tribes were probably on the same level. They were all extremely powerful experts with Sequence Laws. It was no wonder that the Eternals treated them like this.
The threat that the Five Spirit Tribes posed to the Eternals was second only to the Six-Direction Society.
The Ice Matriarch had frozen the void. Some of the Sequence Particles had come from him, while others had come from the Iceheart.
After connecting with the Iceheart's Sequence Particles, the frozen void became even colder, reaching a level that even Divine Sovereign Shaoying did not want to face.
Divine Sovereign Shaoying's hand was frozen, but he did not hesitate to flee. His plan had succeeded, and even if he had not managed to steal the Iceheart, he had paid a high enough price. The Iceheart had been stolen, and the Icespirit Tribe would have been even more furious, but since he had not managed to steal it, his plan had not failed.
It was all that bastard Ye Bo's fault.
Divine Sovereign Shaoying fled in Lu Yin's direction. He could directly tear through the void and leave, but before he did so, Ye Bo would not have an easy time. It would be best if he died here.
Lu Yin understood Divine Sovereign Shaoying too well. From the moment that Divine Sovereign Shaoying had made his move, Lu Yin had shifted his position. How could Lu Yin fall into Divine Sovereign Shaoying's trap?
Divine Sovereign Shaoying shattered a mountain peak, but he did not discover Lu Yin. He angrily tore through the void and left.
He was also a powerhouse who had comprehended the laws of the sequence, so the Ice Matriarch could not stop him.
Meanwhile, the seven friends and the old woman were still being pursued by a Progenitor. One of them was not strong to begin with, and the other was heavily injured. The two of them did not even have the time to tear through the void and escape.
Lu Yin was already on the other side of the Icespirit Realm, and he was prepared to leave. Divine Sovereign Shaoying would definitely cause trouble for him when he returned to the Zone of Calamity, but that did not matter. At worst, he would just argue. Divine Sovereign Shaoying had wanted Lu Yin to lure the Ice Matriarch away, which was tantamount to suicide. Lu Yin's identity as Ye Bo was of great use to the Eternals, and he was a chess piece that could be used against the Primordial Space. How could he allow Divine Sovereign Shaoying to casually deal with him?
Lu Yin had schemed against Divine Sovereign Shaoying and seen through this mission, but he had not taken into account the Ice Matriarch.
This was the Ice Spirit Realm, and the world of ice and snow were laws. If the Ice Matriarch could discover Divine Sovereign Shaoying, then she could naturally discover Lu Yin as well.
