Chapter 2464 – So What?
The Mavis Bank might control the Fifth Mainland's economy, but the bank’s total liquid assets were not that impressive. Furthermore, that money did not even belong to the Mavis family.
Lu Yin let out a long sigh. He picked up the Origin Progenitor's sword, which had returned to its original condition. There was not a single crack to be seen. It was time to return to the Fifth Mainland.
He stored the roughly 3 trillion remaining star essence in his cosmic ring. When added to the 2.5 trillion that he already held, he currently possessed a total of 5.5 trillion star essence. For Lu Yin, this was an ambiguous amount of money, as it was neither too much nor too little.
It had only taken 1.1 trillion star essence to upgrade the slipper, which meant that he had enough funds at the moment to upgrade the slippers again.
Should he upgrade it, or not?
The two screens of light that were his die's Enhance had not vanished yet. Lu Yin's brow furrowed as he was stuck on this particular dilemma. After a moment, he sighed. Forget it. Even if he Enhanced the slipper again, it would amount to nothing if he could not strike his target.
Lu Yin emerged from the pocket dimension. When he looked up, he saw an arc that spanned the sky.
When he had first seen it, he had had no idea what it was. At that time, he had been Possessing Thyssen. Since then, Lu Yin had learned that this arc was the danger zone that connected the sourcebox that was Planet Ominion to Ceaseless Impetus. It was precisely this danger zone that created Planet Ominion's extreme environment. The conditions of each of the Outer Realm’s seven planets were different due to each sourcebox’s unique danger zones.
Blossom Star was the most beautiful of the seven planets, and it had flowers blooming all year round. In contrast, Planet Ominion had the most extreme climate. Only Array Grandmasters could explain the peculiar phenomena brought about by a sourcebox’s danger zone.
In the past, someone had been required to permanently stay on Planet Ominion, but with Aeternus gone for the moment, there was no need for Lu Yin to do so.
Instead of immediately returning to the Fifth Mainland, he went to pay a visit to the Celestial Frost Sect.
He only had one purpose for visiting the sect: rescue Lu Gong.
In the past, Lu Yin had needed Senior Brother Mu Xie to watch over him whenever he wanted to do something that might provoke the four ruling powers, but that was no longer necessary.
As the jiao approached the Celestial Frost Sect, the sect's alarms started to sound.
Countless disciples of the Celestial Frost Sect stared out into the distance, watching as the jiao flaunted its majestic aura as it approached.
Many envied Lu Yin for being able to ride the jiao. Not just anyone could have a Progenitor-level beast as a mount. In fact, not even Bai Wangyuan or any of the other Progenitors of the Perennial World had such a thing.
Bai Wangyuan had only just returned to the Celestial Frost Sect himself when he learned that Lu Yin was about to arrive. The Progenitor instantly understood what was happening.
"Father, Lu Yin is here for Lu Gong, isn’t he?" Bai Qi asked.
Bai Wangyuan's expression remained solemn. "Give him Lu Gong."
Bai Qi nodded. "Understood."
Bai Wangyuan watched as Bai Qi left, and then his expression turned ugly. After returning to the sect, he had been tempted to kill Lu Gong, but he had restrained himself. At this point in time, Lu Xiaoxuan had already become a force to be reckoned with, as he represented another colossal power in their universe that practically stood equal to the four ruling powers.
While it was possible to kill Lu Gong, the Celestial Frost Sect would then have to bear the consequences.
Lu Xiaoxuan was not the same as the Lu family had been in the past. Lu Yin was far more scheming, ruthless, and vengeful. Bai Wangyuan had no intention of suffering Lu Yin's revenge and taking any losses, now or in the future, just because of Lu Gong's death.
Just a little longer. The Main Universe already knew of Lu Xiaoxuan's existence, which meant that Bai Wangyuan only needed to wait for their response. Also, Nutjob Lu would never let Lu Yin go free.
Bai Qi stepped out of the Celestial Frost Sect with Lu Gong following behind her.
Lu Gong watched in awe as the jiao descended. He had seen the creature in the past. Isn't that the jiao from Shenwu's Sky? Is the Celestial Frost Sect sending me to Shenwu's Sky?
Bai Sheng laughed. "People make mistakes. This is perfectly normal. If you never make mistakes, then you're simply not human, you're a machine. Forgetting about a few members of the Lu family is completely understandable. Do you really need to make a big fuss about this? Haven't they already been released?"
Lu Gong said nothing more. He had only spoken up before to verify the identity of the young master who had appeared. With that settled, Lu Gong had no desire to cause any further trouble. He was not certain about the young master's strength, but it was never a good idea to recklessly challenge the four ruling powers.
Lu Yin laughed. "You're even more shameless than Bai Wangyuan! At least he has a sense of shame and won't reveal himself. You're just a scoundrel."
Bai Sheng rolled his eyes. "Young people these days are so rude. Progenitor Bai is in seclusion. If he wasn't, do you really think that you would be able to behave so rudely here? I intended to speak with you up among the clouds, but now... Please just leave. The Celestial Frost Sect doesn't welcome you."
Lu Yin placed a hand on Lu Gong's shoulder. "Pray that I don't return, as I won’t leave so quietly next time."
The two men then appeared atop the jiao's head. The beast let out a roar and fully unleashed its Progenitor-level strength before turning around and heading toward the Wang family’s territory. It was time for Lu Yin to return to the Fifth Mainland.
After the jiao left, Bai Sheng's expression became solemn.
"Father could not intervene," Bai Qi spoke up.
Bai Sheng replied, "I know."
He then appeared in front of Bai Wangyuan within the depths of the Celestial Frost Sect.
"How is Xia Shenji?" Bai Wangyuan asked.
Bai Sheng shook his head. "There’s a place called Shenwu Continent in the Fifth Mainland, and it has a passageway that’s connected to an unknown parallel universe. Xia Shenji was lured into the passage, but he hasn’t returned. I wanted to keep an eye on the place, but just a short while ago, a Progenitor named Arch-Elder Zen appeared. He is quite difficult to deal with."
Bai Wangyuan frowned. Arch-Elder Zen was like another Lu Xiaoxuan in that they both wielded the strength of several Progenitors. Dealing with Arch-Elder Zen would not be the slightest bit easy. The man had mastered the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi Technique, which had been regarded as the most powerful technique in the Fifth Mainland during the Heavens Sect era. Bai Wangyuan had never expected someone who had mastered the technique to not only become a Progenitor, but to even be capable of summoning Lu Tianyi.
Truth be told, Bai Wangyuan was quite curious about just how strong the summoned Lu Tianyi was. As for Bai Sheng, he did not dare to do anything rash.
"It seems that Xia Shenji has been banished," Bai Wangyuan stated.
Bai Sheng was shocked. "Banished? Like what happened to the Lu family?"
"The Lu family was banished into Aeternus's territory, so Aeternus will naturally keep them busy. Lu Xiaoxuan has not gone that far. Xia Shenji should have been exiled to an unknown universe. It will be difficult for him to return," Bai Wangyuan explained.
"When I left, I saw that Shenwu Continent was surrounded by seven huge sourceboxes, which should be a sourcebox array. I heard that the place was originally sealed away by five sourceboxes, so it appears that Lu Xiaoxuan found two more and established a new sourcebox array to seal the place off," Bai Sheng reported.
"By the way, how are things over here? Did Nutjob Lu fail?" he asked.
Bai Wangyuan let out a sigh before sharing the recent events that had taken place in the Perennial World.
At this same time, Lu Gong was apologizing to Lu Yin, who was taken aback by the apology. "So you were testing me? I simply thought that after being imprisoned for so many years, you had lost your temper."
Lu Gong laughed bitterly. "With the tragedy that befell the main family, the chances of you being able to travel safely about the Perennial World were extremely low. I still can't understand how you’ve managed to get so far. That’s why I suspected that the four ruling powers were attempting to trick me."
"Then why did you believe Yu Chen's words and follow my instructions?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Lu Gong replied, "I had nothing left to lose. If Nutjob Lu really did help outsiders harm our family, then it would be best for him to die! Whether it was some sort of internal dispute between the four ruling powers or something else, it all would lead towards avenging our family."
Lu Yin nodded. This was typical of the members of the Lu family. Even if their family was gone, they would still pursue revenge.
"It won't be long before I force the four ruling powers to pay for their actions. Xia Shenji may have been the first, but he won’t be the last!" Lu Yin muttered.
