Lu Yin put away the extreme ice stone and then upgraded the other one to the same level, spending a total of ten trillion star essence.
He had thought it through. He would give one to the Ice Master to make up for the losses that Yan'er had caused when she entered the Iceheart, and he would use the other to trick the Eternals.
As for his origins, he would tell the truth. He had already passed the time where he needed to hide his identity, and the Eternals had probably already identified several of his abilities. Upgrading external objects should be the first to be confirmed.
Lu Yin took the two extreme ice stones back to the Icespirit Realm, and when he laid them out in front of the Ice Master, he was stunned.
He stared blankly. "Path Master Lu, this is?"
Lu Yin handed one of the stones to the Ice Master. "I wonder if this can be disguised as the Iceheart?"
The Ice Master picked up the extreme ice stone. Not only did the extreme ice stone's chill not affect him, but it even helped him cultivate. Their cultivation came from the chill, just like how one of his subordinates had been able to increase his strength by consuming poison. This was a method that outsiders could not learn.
The Ice Master stared at the extreme ice stone for a long time before solemnly returning it to Lu Yin. "Path Master Lu, is this the stone that I gave you split into two?"
Lu Yin smiled. "That's right."
Although the Ice Master had thought of this and had asked about it, and he had even received an affirmative answer, he still felt like it was a fantasy.
An extreme ice stone had been upgraded to such an old one in such a short period of time. This was not a dream, right?
Lu Yin looked at the Ice Master's dazed expression, which was comical no matter how he looked at it. He explained, "I have the ability to shorten the time it takes to grow."
The Ice Master was speechless. This was shortening?
This was basically shortening the time.
He really did not know what to say.
Lu Yin handed the extreme ice stone back to the Ice Master. "This extreme ice stone is compensation for the damage that Yan'er caused to the Iceheart. If it's not enough, I can help the Ice Spirit Clan shorten the time it takes to grow. What do you think of this compensation?"
The Ice Master took a deep look at the extreme ice stone and accepted it. "Path Master Lu, this ability to shorten the time it takes to grow must come at a great price."
Lu Yin exhaled. "It's worth it."
He did not say what the price would be, but the more he did not say, the more the Ice Master felt that the price would be great. This price was close to the Iceheart's price.
"It's a coincidence that your people were sealed in the Ice Heart. There's no need to make up for it. Sect Master Lu, please take it back." The Ice Master declined.
Lu Yin insisted on giving it to her. "Extreme ice stones don't mean much to me. Besides, I still have another one. Senior said that Bingxin likes to eat extreme ice stones, so I'll give it to her."
The Ice Master tried to refuse again and again, but in the end, she could only accept.
His impression of Lu Yin had changed again and again, and it was no longer a matter of admiration. He thought about how Lu Yin's ability would be of great help to the Five Spirit Tribes. In the future, they might all need to rely on this person's abilities.
The Ice Master's attitude towards Lu Yin was constantly changing, and Lu Yin could sense it. He had also witnessed the strength of the Five Spirit Tribes, and the Above Heaven Sect needed such assistance.
The Six Direction Society had the help of experts from the alien realms. That was a part of the Six Direction Society. Above the Heavens was Above the Heavens.
Since he had propped up the Heaven's Above Heaven Sect, he wanted to walk down the path that the Heaven's Above Heaven Sect had once been at its most glorious. Back then, the Heaven's Above Heaven Sect might not have needed the help of the outsiders, as they had been the strongest in their own right. They had been strong enough to suppress the Eternals, and they had even left the Reincarnation Space-Time and the Wood Space-Time completely speechless. However, things were different now.
It was the same Heavenly Sect.
Lu Yin wanted to continue the Heaven's Above Heaven Sect's former glory, and he also wanted to surpass it.
With the Ice Master's confirmation, the extreme ice stone that Lu Yin had upgraded could be passed off as the real thing, and he could give it to the Eternals as the Iceheart. This was because the extreme ice stone itself was already close to the Iceheart, and it had already undergone a qualitative change. If there was a problem, he could just say that it had split into two. In any case, the traces of it being split into two were very obvious.
Lu Yin was about to leave, but before he left, the Ice Master asked him to leave his coordinates in the Ice Spirit Tribe so that he could come over at any time. This was also the effect that Lu Yin wanted after revealing his own secret. Yan'er was here, so he needed to have the ability to come over at any time.
In the Calamity Zone, the Shaoyin Divinity found the Ancestor after returning and told him about what had happened in the Ice Spirit Tribe. This mission had been to make the Ice Spirit Tribe confirm that the person who had stolen the Iceheart was from the Trilunaris Alliance. This would cause the Ice Spirit Tribe to fall out with the Trilunaris Alliance.
According to the Shaoyin Divinity's original plan, the seven friends and the old woman would lure away the Progenitor from the Ice Spirit Tribe while he had Lu Yin lure away the Ice Master. He should have been able to successfully steal the Iceheart, but the result was that Lu Yin had died, the seven friends and the old woman had escaped, and the Shaoyin Divinity had successfully stolen the Iceheart.
However, Lu Yin had changed his mind at the last moment, and he had been forced to take action himself.
The Shaoyin Divinity did not know what had happened.
Perhaps the seven friends had all died, and the Ice Master had believed his words and fallen out with the Trilunaris Alliance. Perhaps one of the seven friends had not died and had revealed the truth, causing the mission to fail.
Regardless of whether the mission had succeeded or not, the Shaoyin Divinity could not be sure, so he pushed all the blame onto Lu Yin.
"Yebo fled at the last moment?" The Ancestor was astonished.
The Shaoyin Divinity spoke in a low voice and recounted the original plan. "After fifty years of waiting, we could have succeeded, but that Yebo fled at the last moment and did not dare to act. I had to delay the Ice Master while trying to steal the Iceheart, but I did not have enough time. I did not manage to steal the Iceheart, and I don't know how the mission will turn out. I cannot stay behind, or else the Ice Master will definitely realize that I am from the Eternal Race."
The Ancestor was calm. "Yebo, is he dead?"
The Shaoyin Divinity replied, "I do not know."
"Then the mission should have failed," the Ancestor said.
The Shaoyin Divinity did not understand. "Not necessarily. I have already revealed that I am from the Trilunaris Alliance, and the ones who attacked were all humans. Are you worried that they will be captured and reveal that they are from the Eternal Race?"
The Ancestor looked at the Shaoyin Divinity. "Yebo will definitely use his godly power when facing death. Once he uses it, we will naturally know that he is from the Eternal Race."
The Shaoyin Divinity was shocked. "Yebo has godly power?"
"You do not know?" the Ancestor asked.
The Shaoyin Divinity was furious. This bastard had clearly told him that he did not have godly power. If he had known earlier, he would not have allowed Yebo to attract the Ice Master's attention. How preposterous! This brat pretended to be smart and ended up harming himself. It was fine if he died, but he had also caused the mission to fail.
The Ancestor suddenly looked into the distance, and his eyes lit up. "Yebo is back."
The Shaoyin Divinity was shocked. "What?"
He looked back and saw Lu Yin quickly approaching. His face was pale, and his body was emitting a cold aura. It was obvious that he was severely frozen, especially his right arm.
Lu Yin arrived in front of the two and glared at the Shaoyin Divinity. "Senior, you actually fled at the last moment."
The Shaoyin Divinity was stunned and did not react.
The Ancestor looked at Lu Yin's arm. "This injury … Yebo, who injured you?
”
Lu Yin gritted his teeth. "It was caused by Bing Xin."
The Ancestor was shocked. "Bing Xin?"
The Shaoyin Divinity roared, "Yebo, you fled at the last moment and caused the mission to fail. Now, you dare to return?"
Lu Yin berated, "You fled at the last moment and did not even dare to last three breaths of time against the Ice Master. I almost succeeded because of you."
"Nonsense! The other two attacked, but you did not move and still dare to quibble." The Shaoyin Divinity was furious.
Lu Yin sneered. "Quibble?
Look at what this is. "
He took out the upgraded Extreme Ice Stone from his cosmic ring. In an instant, white fog spread out and froze the void, spreading in all directions.
The Ancestor's gaze turned cold, and he raised his hand to take the Extreme Ice Stone. "This is?"
The Shaoyin Divinity was stunned. Although he did not see Bing Xin, he had made a move and almost snatched her away. He had interacted with Bing Xin's coldness before, and this coldness was similar to what he had interacted with. Could this be Bing Xin?
How could this be?
"This is not Bing Xin." The Ancestor looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's expression did not change. "This is Bing Xin, a Bing Xin that was split into two."
The Ancestor was shocked. "Split into two?"
Lu Yin lowered his voice and stared at the Shaoyin Divinity. "In the Ice Spirit Clan, this senior gave me the mission to steal the Bing Xin, but in reality, he told me to attract the Ice Master's attention while he stole the Bing Xin himself. I did not know beforehand and followed his instructions, but the Ice Master ignored me and focused on returning to the Ice Spirit Region. With the Ice Master's strength, she could have frozen me in place in an instant.
"Not only did this senior not save me, but he also did not steal the Bing Xin. When he saw the Ice Master return, he fled without saying a word, causing the deaths of the seven friends and another old woman. If I had not sacrificed one of my clones, I would have died as well."
"Nonsense!" The Shaoyin Divinity roared and could not help but want to attack Lu Yin.
The Ancestor looked at him. "Shaoyin Divinity, tell me what you experienced."
The Shaoyin Divinity gritted his teeth and recounted how he had ordered Lu Yin to attack, but Lu Yin had not responded.
"You're wrongly accusing me. How can you say something like that?
To think that you're a Sequence Law powerhouse! "Lu Yin was furious.
The Shaoyin Divinity was furious. "I told you to attack, but you didn't even reply."
Lu Yin replied, "I wanted to steal the Bing Xin, and the Cloudconnect Stone was obviously in my cosmic ring. How could I hear you? Of course, I couldn't reply. Also, the location you gave me was quite far from the Ice Spirit Region, and I had to hide my aura to get there. Tell me, how could someone who was stealing something reply to you?"
The Shaoyin Divinity's eyes widened. "You didn't attack at all."
"Just as I was about to attack, you attacked. The Ice Master appeared and froze me the moment she discovered me. She didn't bother with me at all," Lu Yin retorted.
The Shaoyin Divinity was speechless and stared at Lu Yin blankly. Was that the case?
It seemed like there was nothing wrong with this guy's words.
The Shaoyin Divinity had not been able to contact Lu Yin, and Lu Yin had been hiding his aura in preparation to steal the Bing Xin. He did not know that the Bing Xin was not there, so it was normal for him to hide his aura. It was also normal for him to be frozen by the Ice Master the moment he appeared. Lu Yin's strength was far from being a match for the Ice Master.
The Shaoyin Divinity had lured the Ice Master to Lu Yin's location, but she had not discovered him. Could it be that he had guessed wrong from the start?
The Shaoyin Divinity froze in place as he recalled Lu Yin's words. Lu Yin's words were impeccable; had he really misunderstood him?
