"Let's begin," Gu Yan said.
The four Heavenly Mentors sat around Lu Yin and began to explain everything about unlocking sourceboxes to him.
Lu Yin didn't expect to rely on them to unlock the Four Locks Array, but it was good enough to learn from their experience.
With Lu Yin's current strength, there wasn't much he needed to learn.
A few days passed as the four continued to explain. Lu Yin opened his eyes and looked down at his hands and feet.
"Is there any way?" Gu Yan asked.
Lu Yin shook his head. "It's not enough to unlock the Four Locks Array."
Xiu Ming's expression was solemn. "Perhaps only Progenitor Hui can unlock this array. Who came up with this sourcebox array that uses one's own strength to seal one's body?
Even a progenitor couldn't escape it. "
"Even absolute strength can't break it. Otherwise, it'll be the same as breaking your strength," Li Tianshi said.
Gu Yan looked at Lu Yin's hands. "If there's no other way, I'll try to break through to the Progenitor realm and see if I can unlock it."
Lu Yin looked at him. "You can't become a Progenitor without breaking through three stages."
Gu Yan thought about it and felt helpless.
From start to finish, Qiuling didn't dare to say a single word.
Lu Yin stood up and looked at Qiuling. "When did you become a Redback?"
Heavenly Master Gu Yan and Heavenly Master Xiu Ming were shocked. Red back?
They both looked at Qiuling.
Li Tianshi wasn't surprised, as Lu Yin had asked him to keep an eye on Qiuling.
Qiuling paled and hurriedly knelt. "Headmaster, I didn't do it willingly. Please forgive me, Headmaster."
Lu Yin looked at the kneeling Celestial Master Qiuling without pity.
Not to mention that she was a Redback and had brought great harm to the human race, she had schemed against him in the past, which was unforgivable.
Just as he'd said to Xiaolian and the others, would he forgive those who had harmed him in the past if he were in the present?
His current self didn't have the right to forgive them on behalf of his past self.
Every step on the path of cultivation was fraught with danger. The slightest carelessness could lead to complete defeat.
There was no reason to forgive those who had harmed him.
Qiuling was dead, and there was no doubt about it.
No one pleaded for her. Red Back had to die.
There were many things that needed to be dealt with. Although the Eternals were trapped in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realm, they were still alive.
He also had to find Tianci and Tienen.
The One True God's words made Lu Yin feel uneasy. How strong was the universe that Tianci represented?
Logically speaking, they shouldn't be so strong that this universe couldn't resist them. Otherwise, the people from that universe would have arrived long ago. But no matter what, they were still from the same universe, and Lu Yin had to consider what would happen when they arrived.
What he needed to do now was to deal with the Four Locks Formation. If he did not deal with the Four Locks Formation, he would forever be a half-baked Ancestor Realm expert.
Lu Yin arrived at the Astral Tree Realm, found the Wang Family's continent, and entered.
The continent of the Wang Clan was the territory of the progenitor. Since the progenitor was trapped by the Four Locks Formation, was the Four Locks Formation still there?
Lu Yin really wanted to take a look.
Right now, the Wang Family continent was a wasteland. The people of the Wang Family had either fled for their lives or were captured and imprisoned under the Zhongping Sea.
When news of Wang Fan's betrayal spread, the humans increased their search for the Wang Family.
The Wang Family had produced Wang Miaomiao, one of the Seven Skygods. They had also produced Wang Xiaoyu, who had caused the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands to go to war. They had also produced Wang Fan.
Now, no one trusted the Wang Family.
As for the Wang Family continent, it was managed by the Lu Family, and it could be said that it belonged to the Lu Family.
When Lu Yin arrived, the people of the Lu Family hurriedly bowed.
Lu Yin waved them away as he walked alone on the Wang Family continent.
Although the Wang Family continent was a wasteland, it was not completely empty. Most of these people did not belong to the Wang Family and had come here to look for opportunities. After all, it had once been one of the Four Scales.
Along the way, Lu Yin saw many cultivators.
The Lu Family did not stop them.
Searching for opportunities was what cultivators looked forward to the most, even if it was accompanied by danger.
Of course, there were some places that these cultivators could not go to. One of them was the Triple Despair, which was where the Wang Family nurtured their younger generation. The reason why they could not go there had nothing to do with the Lu Family, as that place had been isolated by Wang Jian.
Although the Wang Family had completely declined, there were still some people that the Lu Family did not touch: Wang Jian and Wang Miaomiao.
Wang Miaomiao and Lu Qi had an affair, and this news had long spread throughout the Cosmic Tree. No one dared to do anything to Wang Miaomiao, and even if Lu Yin knew about it, he did not say anything.
Many years had passed, and Lu Qi had not accepted Wang Miaomiao. He had deep feelings for Lu Yin's mother, although he did not show it.
Lu Qi was a complete person with his own life, and Lu Yin would not interfere.
Wang Jian had only been able to live peacefully in the Triple Despair because of Wang Miaomiao. Otherwise, even if the Lu Family did not do anything to him, he would have died on the battlefield.
The other place that he could not go was the Lu Family's mine.
The mine was what the Wang Family called it to the outside world, but it was actually a place where they excavated Yellow Springs water.
Yellow Springs water was extremely important, and the Lu Family had sealed it off.
Lu Yin arrived at the mine and looked down, but he couldn't see any Yellow Springs water. Even with his domain or spiritual force, he still couldn't find any. However, he knew that there was definitely Yellow Springs water below, and the Wang family had been digging for so many years without emptying it.
He had once thought that the Yellow Springs water was the blood of the Primogenitor, but he later realized that he had guessed wrong.
The blood of the Primogenitor was still red.
This Yellow Springs water was definitely not the blood of the Primogenitor, so what was it?
On the day that the Lu Family was exiled, Patriarch Lu Yuan had fallen into a deep sleep, and Patriarch Lu Tianyi had been stopped by Wei Nu. The rest of the Lu Family's experts had not been able to make a move because of the Yellow Springs water. The Yellow Springs water could cause people to lose their strength and enter a state of powerlessness. It seemed similar to the Illusory Poison, but there were also some differences.
Lu Yin was about to go down when he suddenly looked into the distance and disappeared.
Far away, a figure was curled up under a rock. He had a nervous expression and looked at the mine through the cracks of the rock.
"Are you looking for me?" a voice asked.
The figure trembled and slowly turned around to see Lu Yin, who was very close to him.
Lu Yin looked at the figure and said, "I didn't expect you to still be here, Little Can."
This figure was Little Can, the one who had used the wisdom root to buy his life in the back battlefield. He had left the battlefield in advance, but had been captured by Wang Xun and brought to the Wang Family's mainland.
Lu Yin had a deep impression of this person as he had obtained a wisdom root from him.
When he had disguised himself as Hao Yu, he had seen Little Can in the Wang Family's mainland mining area.
He had thought that the Wang Family's decline, and that Little Can had either been killed or escaped, but he was still here, not far from the mining area.
Why?
Why did he stay here?
Lu Yin realized that he had overlooked this person. Even though he had a deep impression of him, he had never really cared about him. He had only wanted to obtain the wisdom root from him.
Now that he had seen him here, Lu Yin knew that this person was hiding something.
Little Can stared at Lu Yin in a daze. He had never expected Lu Yin to suddenly appear here and even discover him. He felt that he had hidden himself very well.
A normal person would not be able to imagine how strong a cultivator was. The difference between Little Can and Lu Yin was like the difference between a normal person and an Explorer. Normal people would never be able to walk through the void or roam the heavens. They could not imagine how humans could do it.
However, that was not important, as Lu Yin had already discovered him.
"Lu, Master Lu. Greetings, Master Lu." Little Can bowed respectfully and tried his best to remain calm.
Lu Yin looked at him. "I can see your every expression and hear your every breath."
Little Can's heart sank, and he did not dare to move.
"I can roughly guess what you are thinking. The current universe, the Primordial Space, the Hexagon Society, the Outer Realm, and even the Eternals' six Zones of Disaster are all under my control. What are you planning to hide from me?" Lu Yin asked calmly.
Little Can quickly knelt down, his face pale. "I, I dare not. I dare not. I am not hiding anything. Please, Master Lu."
Lu Yin looked at him, amused. "How long has it been since we first met?"
Little Can swallowed and tried to recall. "Long, about seventy years."
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back and sighed. "Yes, seventy years. You have matured a lot since the first time we met. Back then, you were still very young and skinny. You were like a deer that had accidentally entered the battlefield and could be eaten at any time."
Little Can trembled. "Master Lu, Master Lu's appearance has not changed at all."
Lu Yin looked at him. "But my heart has become even colder."
Little Can placed his hands on the ground and slowly clenched his fists. He clenched his teeth and endured the greatest torture in the world.
Life and death were the greatest tortures for humans. For Little Can, he could not hope that Lu Yin would be kind enough to let him go. Nothing he said could fool this person.
If he wanted to get through this safely, the only way was for Lu Yin to not be calculative. But how could Lu Yin not care?
Little Can was caught by Wang Xun to mine on the Wang Family's mainland. In reality, it was to mine the Yellow Springs water. Now that the Wang Family was in decline, there was no one guarding it. The other people who were mining the Yellow Springs water had all run away. What right did he have to stay here?
This place should be a painful memory for him, and he should never want to get close to it.
But he stayed here and kept staring. From the looks of it, he had been staring for a long time. What was he staring at?
There was only the Yellow Springs water here.
He knew something, or rather, he wanted to get something.
The Yellow Springs water was very important, and Lu Yin cared about it. Now, he was even more curious about what Little Can knew.
Little Can did not speak. He just knelt on the ground and was almost lying on his stomach. He looked very pitiful.
Lu Yin looked at him from above. "Everything you want to get here is nothing compared to a sentence from me. A sentence from me can give you endless enjoyment in the future, but it can also make you sink into the abyss. The things here can't help you with anything. Otherwise, the Wang Family would not be in its current state."
Little Can closed his eyes in pain. He did not care about Lu Yin's words, but since Lu Yin said this, it was obvious that he did not intend to let him go. His persistence was meaningless in front of Lu Yin.
With a soft sound, Little Can lost all his strength. He lay on the ground and remained silent.
Lu Yin was not anxious. He just looked at him and occasionally looked around. He had been here before when he was pretending to be Hao Yu. So many years had passed in the blink of an eye.
