Lu Yin stared at Starlight Island, which was not too far away, as the sounds of battle echoed in his ears. Even under such circumstances, he still took the time to look at the person from the Burial Garden. What was the purpose of this power's existence?
The attack on Starlight Island went exceptionally smoothly, and the Sixth Mainland had only managed to defend against a few hundred thousand cultivators. Although it seemed like a lot, most of them had already perished.
Even a fool would know that something was amiss. What was even stranger was that the magnetic pole was actually on Starlight Island.
If the magnetic pole was not there, then White Knight and the others would have relaxed, as that meant that the Sixth Mainland had not given up on the thunderstorm zone. However, the magnetic pole was on Starlight Island, which meant that the Sixth Mainland had given up on the thunderstorm zone. The importance of the thunderstorm zone was self-evident, and the Sixth Mainland had definitely given up on it for something more important.
Starsibyl had been constantly divining the moment she stepped onto Starlight Island, and it was only when Obscured Light and the others had obtained the remaining two magnetic poles that she paled. "We've been tricked."
"Zhiyi gave up on the thunderstorm zone and went in that direction." Starsibyl then pointed southeast.
Many people exchanged glances as they looked southeast, and they saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"The Whitefall Region," White Knight blurted out.
Starsibyl's expression turned ugly. "Perhaps Zhiyi's appearance in the thunderstorm zone was just to attract attention. Her true goal was the Whitefall Region, and there must be more than one person from the Daosource Three Skies here. The Whitefall Region is in danger."
"The Sixth Mainland doesn't need to conquer the entire Cosmic Sea. They just need to open up a path to a place without the suppression of astronomical phenomena. At that time, their older powerhouses can act," Obscured Light said.
White Knight continued, "After paying such a huge price, if they fail, then not only will the Whitefall Region have no place for the Sixth Mainland in the entire Cosmic Sea. They plan to charge out of the Cosmic Sea in one go, and they must have many powerful Imprinters backing them. They might even have Celestial Imprints."
"And it's not just one person," Starsibyl said.
Everyone's hearts sank as they listened to their conversation.
Lu Yin frowned, as he did not know if this had been Zhiyi's plan from the very beginning or if she had only made such a decision after the three magnetic poles had been stolen from the thunderstorm zone. Regardless of the reason, she should have left the thunderstorm zone a long time ago. The Daosource Three Skies were enough to change the situation of the battlefield, and not every Ten Arbiters would be able to stop the Daosource Three Skies.
What was even more frightening was that it was possible that more than one of the Daosource Three Skies would appear. It was even possible that all three of them would appear without any light. White Knight had been held back in the Thunderstorm Region, and the rest of the Ten Arbiters had definitely been held back in other regions. The Whitefall Region was in danger.
At this moment, a short man came to Lu Yin's side and whispered, "Seventh Bro, Xin Yu."
Lu Yin looked at the man in confusion. "You are?"
The man smiled. "I'm from Leon's Armada."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Through Uncle Reuben, Lu Yin had learned that he belonged to Leon's Armada. He was grateful to them, curious, and apprehensive, as he did not know what kind of people they were. After all, they were all pirates. Regardless, they were his family, as Big Sis and the others were all from Leon's Armada.
Apparently, Lu Yin had been rescued by Highsage Leon, and he had not appeared in the Innerverse. He had first appeared in the Cosmic Sea before awakening in the Innerverse. Highsage Leon was his savior.
"Seventh Bro, take a look. Xin Yu is a specialty of the Cosmic Sea, and it's used to transmit news throughout the Cosmic Sea," the man said.
Lu Yin nodded and took out the letter. He glanced at it, and his expression changed. "The Whitefall Region is in trouble."
Everyone looked over.
White Knight saw the fish in Lu Yin's hand and immediately took it. "The Whitefall Region has been defeated, and they've retreated to the edge. They're using this fish to request reinforcements from the Four Seas. One of the Daosource Three Skies, Secret Ancestor's successor Bu Kong, and the Blood Ancestor's successor, Zhiyi, have both appeared in the Whitefall Region."
Before anyone could recover from their shock, White Knight continued, "The Ten Warlords have been defeated. Glory's Shu Jing has also been defeated. The General Appointment Platform has been stolen by Bu Kong. In the name of the Daosource Three Skies, he has challenged all of the Fifth Mainland's experts of the same generation."
Everyone was shocked. Another Daosource Three Skies had appeared, and even the General Appointment Platform had been stolen.
Shouldn't the General Appointment Platform be in the hands of the Hall of Honor?
This was a way to motivate all of the Fifth Mainland's youths. The General Appointment Platform had been stolen, which was a huge blow to the Fifth Mainland's cultivators.
Bu Kong looked up and faced the Whitefall Region, feeling a deep pressure.
Only those who had fought against the Daosource Three Skies would understand this kind of pressure. Even though Bu Kong had forced Zhiyi into a corner, he could not think of a way to defeat her. Moreover, this was under the suppression of Celestial Phenomenon. Without it, Zhiyi would be able to display strength that surpassed an Enlighter's, and he would not be able to easily resist her.
If Zhiyi was already in such a state, then what about the Secret Ancestor's successor, who was rumored to have the most secret techniques?
Secret techniques were a threshold that could never be crossed, and no ordinary person could deal with any secret technique. The Secret Ancestor had the most secret techniques, and the Secret Ancestor's successor was the most mysterious.
Now that the Secret Ancestor's successor had stolen the General Appointment Platform, even Bu Kong did not know how to take it back. Perhaps the Ten Arbiters would be able to do it if they worked together, but they could not leave the Thunderstorm Region. To the Sixth Mainland, this was an invasion, and there were many ways to do so. But to the Fifth Mainland, there was only one way, and that was to defend to the death and not give up any territory. Otherwise, they might become the root of the Fifth Mainland's defeat.
Everyone fell silent.
Lu Yin looked around, and everyone's expressions turned ugly. If the Whitefall Region was broken through by the Sixth Mainland, then the older generation of experts from the Sixth Mainland would march straight in. At that time, it would be a battle of absolute power, and even if the Fifth Mainland managed to defend itself, the Cosmic Sea and even the Neoverse would be shattered. No one could imagine how terrifying the Celestial Imprint was, and no one dared to take the risk.
Just the remnant spiritual force of a Progenitor was enough to cover the entire Innerverse and half of the Cosmic Sea. No matter how weak the Celestial Imprint was, it would still be enough to shatter a huge region.
"The Whitefall Region has requested reinforcements, and Bu Kong and I cannot leave. Otherwise, the Thunderstorm Region will be in danger," White Knight said. She then looked at Lu Yin and Starsibyl. "You two can go."
Lu Yin did not refuse.
Starsibyl replied, "I hope that you two can stay behind and restrain the other two Realmlings."
White Knight frowned, as this was only a hope. They had no other choice. Once they left the Thunderstorm Region, Shang Rong and Nan Yanfei would appear, and the five magnetic poles would be snatched away. Of course, there was also the possibility that the two Realmlings would head to the Whitefall Region, and they would be of no use if they stayed behind. However, they could not take that risk.
"Do a divination." Lu Yin could not help but ask Starsibyl.
Starsibyl indifferently replied, "Divination is not omnipotent. It's just finding the one that's closest to the truth. They must stay behind, or else there's a 90% chance that those two Realmlings will cause trouble in the Thunderstorm Region."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Why don't you try the Xuantian Mirror?"
Starsibyl's eyes widened, and she stared at Lu Yin. "Where did you hear that?"
"Your Grandpa Jiu."
Bu Kong, White Knight, Hua Xiao, and the rest all looked at Lu Yin with strange expressions. Why was he suddenly cursing?
Starsibyl's expression turned ugly. "I told you not to mention him again."
"But he knows the Xuantian Mirror. Why don't you?" Lu Yin asked.
Starsibyl was dissatisfied. "There's no Xuantian Mirror. He made it up himself."
"Is that so?" Lu Yin did not know who to believe. Xuan Jiu had divined his family's fortune, and he had almost vomited blood. If it had been fake, then his professionalism would have been admirable. However, Xuan Jiu had not asked for money or anything else, so he did not seem like a swindler.
Tai Yuanjun walked over and stood beside Starsibyl, glaring at Lu Yin. "Don't mention that swindler Xuan Jiu again. That old swindler takes advantage of everyone."
When Xuan Jiu was mentioned, Starsibyl became unwell. White Knight glared at Lu Yin. "You can leave now."
Lu Yin did not want to waste any more time, as Zhiyi had clearly tricked them. If they allowed the Whitestone District to be conquered by the Sixth Mainland, then they would become a joke.
It was not just Lu Yin and Starsibyl; Tai Yuanjun wanted to go as well. He wanted to follow them no matter what, and he looked at Lu Yin as if he were a thief. Another person wanted to go as well, and it was the short man from Leon's Armada. He wanted to lead the way.
Lu Yin was all too familiar with Tai Yuanjun's gaze. Zhu San had always looked at him the same way. Lu Yin was considering whether or not to tell Tai Yuanjun about Zhu San and remind him that the harder he pursued, the faster he would lose her.
There were many experts in the Thunderstorm District, but there were only a few who could truly be considered experts. At the very least, they were all Sealed Generals.
Everyone else stayed behind, and Lu Yin's group of three headed towards the Whitestone District.
Ling Que was nowhere to be seen. The moment Zhiyi had arrived, he had slipped away at lightning speed.
The Cosmic Sea was vast, and although the Thunderstorm District was not far from the Whitestone District, it was difficult to reach in a short time.
The Four Tyrants had traversed the Cosmic Sea for many years before finding a safe route. Lu Yin's group was only able to reach the Whitestone District as quickly as possible under the short man's guidance. Even with someone leading the way, it would take at least a few days to reach the Whitestone District.
At the same time, the battle in the Whitestone District was becoming more and more intense. The giant General Roll Platform should have been used to host the Fifth Mainland's elites, and having their names engraved on it was a supreme honor. However, at this moment, the platform was being stepped on by Bu Kong and Zhiyi. Countless cultivators from the Fifth Mainland had bloodshot eyes.
Bu Kong was a man with a jade-like face. At first glance, he looked extraordinarily handsome, but upon closer inspection, he seemed rather immature, as if he had just reached adulthood. His eyes were filled with insufferably arrogance and longing for the future.
In reality, he was only twenty years old, which was even younger than Lu Yin. However, his cultivation talent was extremely high, and he had grasped all of the secret techniques that the Secret Progenitor had passed down, which had shaken the entire Sixth Mainland.
Throughout history, he was the only one who had grasped all of the secret techniques at such a young age. In the past, very few from the Daosource Three Skies had been able to fully grasp the Secret Progenitor's techniques.
Countless praises had gradually made Bu Kong arrogant, and just like his name, he considered everything beneath him.
However, he was worthy of this arrogance, as aside from Wu Taibai and Zhiyi, who were also from the Daosource Three Skies, no one else was a match for him.
Snatching the General Roll Platform had been a complete accident, as he had not expected that the forces defending it would be so weak. Moreover, Zhiyi's sudden appearance had given him a great deal of glory.
The more the General Roll Platform inspired the Fifth Mainland, the greater the glory he had achieved. He wanted his name to be forever engraved in the history of the Fifth Mainland, becoming a stain on the entire Fifth Mainland.
