White Knight retracted her gaze, lifted her foot, and stomped on the ground, causing ripples to spread out. Lu Yin's brows rose, as he had a bad premonition.
The next moment, the valleys on both sides crumbled, and a huge explosion shook the space around them.
"What are you doing?" Lu Yin grew anxious.
White Knight coldly replied, "Leave it up to you." She then leaped up and flew off in a certain direction.
Lu Yin had no choice but to follow her. Such a huge commotion might attract powerhouses, as the Sixth Mainland definitely had experts who could rival the top ten of the Top 100 Rankings besides the Realmlings. Those people would most likely participate in this battle, and it would be easy to bump into them. If they did, then it would be troublesome. This woman was certain that Lu Yin would not dare to stay behind.
"What did you mean by the place you can descend?" Lu Yin asked.
"The Daosource Sect's futon is not limited to the outside of the sect. The Mountain Sea is an independent entity, and as long as you pass the test, you can descend at the Mountain Sea," White Knight replied.
"Mountain Sea?" Lu Yin found the name familiar, as if someone had mentioned it before.
White Knight did not explain, and she simply led Lu Yin in a certain direction.
Outside the valley ruins, in another direction, Nong Zaitian was so scared that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He had been lucky enough to escape a calamity and had almost died at Shang Rong's hands. He had been buried in the ground for a few days, and when he had finally awoken, he had found a very secluded valley to hide in for a few days until the time limit was up. However, he had not expected that the valley would collapse just as he had approached it. That flash of star energy had caused his heart to tremble, and he had fled on his hoe.
He stroked his hoe angrily, as that bastard had actually stolen his other hoe. Bastard, bastard!
During the few days that White Knight had been unconscious, a few more battles had occurred in the Daosource Sect. The Blood Homage Realm's Realmling, Nan Yanfei, had encountered one of the Fifth Mainland's Ten Undying Birds. The battle had ended in a draw, and both sides had avoided each other.
The Bloodburn Realm's Realmling, Di Fa, had encountered a blind man from the Fifth Mainland's Ten Arbiters. He had been heavily injured and forced to flee, but that blind man had slaughtered no less than thirty Sixth Mainland cultivators.
The War Martial Realm's Realmling, a Tool Master from a forging family, had encountered one of the Ten Arbiters, Wang Xingkai. The battle had been earth-shattering, and no one knew the final outcome, and no one had seen the two's figures.
Besides the battle between the Realmlings and the Ten Arbiters, many descendants of Cosmic Imprinter families had also appeared in the Sixth Mainland, as well as powerhouses like Butcher, who was second only to the Realmlings. The battle in the Daosource Sect's ruins was becoming more and more intense, and there were rumors that the Secret Progenitor Realm's Realmlings were about to enter. If these Realmlings were unable to suppress the Ten Arbiters, then the various great families might even invite the Daosource Three Skies over.
In the Scripture Pavilion, Autumnfrost Qing opened his eyes and looked at Yan Xiaojing.
The last time Yan Xiaojing entered the Scripture Pavilion, she seemed to have gained some insights. This time, she still had to go to the Scripture Pavilion.
To Autumnfrost Qing, it would be beneficial for him if Yan Xiaojing could comprehend something. After all, this woman definitely belonged to him.
However, the time was almost up, and Yan Xiaojing still hadn't comprehended anything. He was a little disappointed.
He raised his head and looked around. There were no less than a hundred cultivators gathered in the Sutra Depository. Most of these people were not originally in the Sutra Depository, but because there was too much killing in the outside world, they had no choice but to hide in the Sutra Depository, causing the number of people in the Sutra Depository to increase.
The Sutra Depository was not a good place to fight, as the fluctuations of star energy could easily cause the ancient runes to mutate. Thus, as long as one hid in the Sutra Depository, they would be safe.
When he thought about the war in the outside world, Autumnfrost Qing felt a little apprehensive. Another World Imprinter's descendant had died just the day before, and Autumnfrost Qing had only heard about it from others. The descendant had died at the hands of a blind Ten Arbiter without even being able to resist.
Autumnfrost Qing knew that his strength was about the same as that person's, and if he had been present at that time, then he probably would not have survived either.
He decided to avoid coming to the Daosource Sect as much as possible during this period of time. Otherwise, if one of the Ten Arbiters foolishly gambled on the futon plaza, then everything would be over.
Suddenly, another person appeared on the ancient rune that Autumnfrost Qing was in, and it was a young man.
Autumnfrost Qing instinctively wanted to attack, but this person was too close to him. Wait, too close?
How could he not have noticed him at such a close distance?
It was only when he was close enough that he realized that something was wrong.
"Sorry for disturbing you." The young man smiled at Autumnfrost Qing and then leapt out of the Scripture Pavilion.
Autumnfrost Qing nodded but did not say anything. He watched as the young man walked out of the Scripture Pavilion, and then he looked towards the depths of the pavilion. That young man had walked out from there. The deeper one went into the Scripture Pavilion, the more ancient runes one would encounter, and the greater the danger. Very few people were able to safely walk out of the Scripture Pavilion's depths, but that person had managed to do so. This was because there had been no one in front of him, which could only mean that that person had been in the depths of the Scripture Pavilion.
An unfamiliar powerhouse had been able to enter the Scripture Pavilion and had approached Autumnfrost Qing without him noticing. This person's strength was second only to a Realmling, and that person might have the strength of a Realmling. Autumnfrost Qing had seen the appearances of the Three Progenitors and the Nine Realms, but he had not seen such a person. This meant that that person was very likely one of the Fifth Mainland's Ten Arbiters.
When he thought about this, Autumnfrost Qing felt a chill run down his spine. He had actually brushed shoulders with one of the Fifth Mainland's Ten Arbiters, and he had even been so close to that person.
"Brother Autumnfrost, what's wrong?" Not too far away, Yan Xiaojing gently looked at Autumnfrost Qing and asked with concern.
Autumnfrost Qing forced out a smile. "It's nothing. Xiaojing, did you comprehend it?"
Yan Xiaojing shook her head. "I'm sorry, Brother Autumnfrost. I've wasted your time."
Autumnfrost Qing rejoiced, as if she had truly comprehended it, that Arbiter would have definitely attacked her. "It's fine. If it didn't work this time, then we'll try again next time."
Yan Xiaojing pursed her lips and then nodded. She smiled. "Brother Autumnfrost, you're the best."
Autumnfrost Qing smiled. He was a little anxious, and he hoped that time would pass quickly so that they could leave.
White Knight led him through three pillars of light, and they did not encounter anyone along the way. Finally, they arrived at the foot of a faintly discernible mountain.
The peak of the mountain in front of them could not be seen, and it was surrounded by fog that would appear and disappear from time to time. He turned around and looked behind him. Beyond the pillars of light was an ocean, and the sound of crashing waves filled his ears. This was the Mountains and Seas.
Lu Yin recalled that Mr. Bai had mentioned the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas before, and this should be one of them. According to Mr. Bai, only Progenitors could split open the mountains and open the seas. The Nine Mountains and Eight Seas represented nine Progenitors, and they represented the Daosource Sect's greatest inheritance grounds.
Lu Yin naturally did not believe that the Daosource Sect had nine Progenitors, as they would not have been defeated by the Sixth Mainland otherwise. However, there should still be one or two, and within this mountain, there might really be a Progenitor's inheritance.
White Knight walked in front.
Lu Yin hurried to catch up. "I heard that the Mountains and Seas have a Progenitor's inheritance. Are you that confident in bringing me here?"
"Anyone can come, and it doesn't matter if I bring you or not. With your strength, you don't have the ability to snatch the inheritance from me," White Knight said bluntly.
Lu Yin was unconvinced. "That's true for now, but that might not be the case in the future."
White Knight stopped and looked at Lu Yin. She seriously said, "When the time comes, I'll kill you."
Lu Yin did not speak, as he could tell that this woman was serious. After all, this involved a top-notch inheritance.
"Seventh Bro, is there really a Progenitor's inheritance here?
I don't believe that it's that easy to see it.
Even to this day, no one knows where Progenitor Wushang's inheritance is, and just one look at Progenitor Wushang's hide makes me dizzy, "the monkey said.
Indeed, Progenitor Wushang's inheritance was more reliable, but this was the ancient Daosource Sect, so there might really be a Progenitor's inheritance here.
There was a cracking sound as the bones on the ground were crushed. The Daosource Sect had experienced an ancient war, and there were bones everywhere. However, these bones had not been corroded by the passage of time, which proved that these people had all been powerhouses when they had been alive. Lu Yin was very curious about how many powerhouses the Daosource Sect had been at its peak, and how glorious it had been.
It was impossible to see how large the mountain was, or how tall it was. Even with his vision as a cultivator, he could not see it. In any case, it was like a heavenly pillar that supported this space.
The closer Lu Yin got, the clearer he could see it. He did not know how high it was above his head, but there were several pieces of land floating in the sky. Because he did not know how high they were, he could not determine their sizes, and the land above them was hidden by fog.
The most spectacular sight in front of him was a crack that split the entire mountain in two, and it looked like a thin line of the sky.
White Knight suddenly stopped and pointed at the sky. "Do you see that piece of land?"
Lu Yin looked up and followed the direction that White Knight was pointing. "Are you talking about the land closest to the mountain?"
"Fly up. There's also a futon plaza there. As long as you can enter it, you can directly go there the next time you appear," White Knight said.
"You descended here?" Lu Yin was astonished.
"Fly up. If you can't, I'll kill you," White Knight said indifferently.
"Why must I descend here?"
"That's an order."
"You don't have the right to order me around."
"Everything belongs to the Ten Arbiters Council, the Council of Astral Academy, and the Outerverse Youth Council." "Alright, alright, I got it. I've already said it three times. Aren't you tired?" Lu Yin was speechless as he interrupted her.
Lu Yin could clearly sense that she was a little annoyed at being interrupted, and he really wanted to know what kind of expression was on her cute little face under the mask.
Lu Yin rubbed his nose and looked up at the pieces of land. "From your tone, it sounds like it won't be easy to ascend to that land. I'm not confident." He then leaped up and flew into the sky.
White Knight's eyes flickered. She had brought this person here because it would be very difficult for her to obtain a Progenitor's inheritance on her own, so she needed a helper. She was not at ease with the other Ten Arbiters, but she had Wendy Yushan as a link to this person. Furthermore, this person had experienced life and death situations before, so she was barely at ease. She only hoped that this person would be able to ascend to the land.
During the battle with Blood Looney, this person had been able to resist the spiritual force suppression, so he should be able to ascend.
The Progenitor realm represented the pinnacle of cultivation, and to everyone, the word "Progenitor" was equivalent to the heavens. Progenitors could change the heavens, and they themselves represented the heavens.
Regardless of whether the rumors in the Daosource Sect's Nine Mountains and Eight Seas were true, this mountain in front of Lu Yin was a Progenitor's training ground that had been established by a Progenitor. Ascending to the heavens was equivalent to ascending to the heavens, and ascending to the heavens meant that one would have to face the heavens' suppression.
Lu Yin could feel this suppression at this moment, and the higher he flew, the greater the pressure. This was a suppression on one's spiritual force and even one's physical body, as well as a suppression on one's entire life force. To be honest, Lu Yin was not unfamiliar with this kind of suppression, as he had experienced it more than once. The one that had left the deepest impression on him was when he had climbed the mountain in the space with the golden ocean. He had also climbed a mountain, and he had met Mister Mu at that time, who had allowed him to transform his physical body as a Limiteer and become an unequaled Limiteer.
This time, he was facing the suppression of the heavens. If he had been able to continue ascending like this in ancient times, then he might have been able to see a Progenitor who represented the heavens. But now, all he could see was empty land.
