Chapter 2308: The Lively Zenith Mountain

No one had actually shared this particular secret with Ku Wei, but he had been looking for a chance to acquire more of Progenitor Chen's blood, as he could sense that his bloodline was still far from pure.

Hearing Lu Yin himself ask for more of his blood told Ku Wei that his opportunity had come, and he had to seize this chance to get some of Progenitor Chen’s pure blood so that he could improve his own cultivation.

He had already seen the ridiculous rise in strength that Big Sis from Leon’s Armada had enjoyed, and Ku Wei had also learned from the Yōu family that Big Sis was actually the legendary Progenitor Yōu, which had terrified Ku Wei.

.

Big Sis had awakened Progenitor Yōu’s power, which had allowed her cultivation to spike. This proved that the power of blood and bloodlines was real, and Ku Wei was absolutely certain that Progenitor Chen's blood could provide him with similar spikes in his own strength.

Ku Wei believed that he was the living person with the closest connection to Progenitor Chen's bloodline.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Ku Wei became, and the more blood he let out.

He soon shakily delivered his own blood to Lu Yin. Ku Wei’s lips had gone dry, and his face had turned pale. "Master, please use it."

Lu Yin gave Ku Wei an odd look. Please use it? He was not some blood sucker! He stared at Ku Wei. "How much did you bring me?"

Ku Wei raised his head high and puffed out his chest. "If you need to, Master, you can drain all of your disciple's blood!"

Lu Yin chuckled. He understood what Ku Wei was thinking, but still, the amount of blood that Ku Wei had provided would allow Lu Yin to obtain a large amount of Progenitor Chen's blood, so it would not be unreasonable to give Ku Wei one bottle of it.

Lu Yin had already Enhanced Ku Wei’s blood to obtain Progenitor Chen blood before, and he had given one of the bottles back to Ku Wei. Lu Yin had even used Ku Wei's blood to control the race of colossal giants, as Progenitor Chen’s blood gave Ku Wei complete control over the giants.

Still, Lu Yin had not provided even Ku Wei with the purest bit of Progenitor Chen’s blood that had been upgraded. Lu Yin was actually afraid of not being able to control Progenitor Chen’s blood, so he had stopped after Enhancing it after nine times, which had cost about one billion star essence. It was actually possible to further improve the blood, and Lu Yin intended to do just that this time. He wanted to see if he could indeed control Progenitor Chen's pure blood essence.

Lu Yin had just obtained 800 billion star essence.

After driving Ku Wei out, Lu Yin closed the doors of the main hall and raised a hand, bringing his die out. When he tapped it, it slowly came to a stop on three pips. His luck was exceptional this time.

Lu Yin threw Ku Wei's blood onto the top screen and immediately started to Enhance it.

Once, twice, thrice, six times the blood was improved. This blood did not need to be Enhanced nine times, as Ku Wei’s blood had already been refined and improved to have a greater amount of Progenitor Chen's blood in it.

As Lu Yin stared at Progenitor Chen’s blood that fell out from the lower screen, he saw a flicker of something, which was a remnant of Progenitor Chen’s own will that had been branded deep into his very blood. As this blood grew increasingly pure, this trace of will would grow stronger and stronger, and it would eventually reach the level of purity that Progenitor Chen himself had possessed.

In the past, Lu Yin had stopped upgrading the blood when this will had first appeared, as he had been afraid that he would not be able to control and subdue this will when it tried to fight back against Lu Yin. But this time, he intended to continue. action

After a moment’s thought, star essence continued to flow into the two light screens of Lu Yin’s Enhance, being consumed by the process of improving the blood.

As the blood fell through the two screens of light again, it started to release a dim radiance, and a voice suddenly filled Lu Yin's ears. "No one in the universe dares be my enemy, but if the universe itself becomes my enemy, I will transform it!"

Countless stars suddenly appeared in Lu Yin's vision as a terrifying aura swept out in all directions. This was clearly just a bit of remnant will that remained in the blood, but all who felt it trembled.

The expressions of Lu Buzheng and the other Semi-Progenitors all changed as they turned to look towards the Heavens Sect’s main hall. What had just happened? How was there such a terrifying aura? What was this will to fight?

Ku Wei's legs grew weak, as the blood within his own body had started boiling.

Sensing a similar feeling, the Giants Army that stood at the base of the Heavens Sect’s mountain dropped down onto one knee in unison. They had all sensed the power of the remnant will in the blood, and it completely suppressed them all.

Beyond Earth’s solar system, the jiao suddenly looked over towards Lu Yin, surprise and fear deep in the beast’s eyes, and it even retreated a bit.

Lu Yin had not expected that Progenitor Chen's remnant will in the blood would be so terrifying. It had caused him to see visions, and it had felt as though the universe had been reformed. Fortunately, the power within Lu Yin’s own chest was far from weak, and Lu Yin was also pursuing the goal of recreating the universe. The power within his chest was ever-changing, and it could absorb almost any other power.

Progenitor Chen's remnant will was not enough to defeat Lu Yin.

It was possible that this remnant will was also Progenitor Chen's pride. Even after the man himself was gone, his blood was not something that ordinary people could ever touch.

As Lu Yin stared at the red blood, he felt that it was possible to further Enhance it, but if he did so, he might not be able to resist the remnant will. He could already tell that the power in the blood of an incredibly strong Progenitor like Progenitor Chen was different from that of ordinary Progenitors. The Sea King had once broken through the Three Upper Gates using Progenitor Chen's blood-stained clothes. The gates had not been forced open from just pyrolyte, as most of the force had likely come from Progenitor Chen's blood-stained clothes. Had the pyrolyte been nothing more than a diversion?

The Progenitor of Combat had died, but his blood did not hold such ridiculous power. Lu Yin had seen the blood of the jiao, and it also lacked the absurd strength that existed in Progenitor Chen’s blood. What made Progenitor Chen's blood so powerful?

It was a mystery with no answer to Lu Yin.

Lu Yiin had spent almost 2 billion star essence Enhancing the blood, and there was no reason to continue. This degree of improvement should be enough.

Lu Yin split the Enhanced blood into five bottles; one bottle would be given to Ku Wei as a reward, and the other four would be kept for Lu Yin’s own use.

Was it less blood than Lu Yin had received? He stared at it for a moment. He could not worry about that. After all, if he waited for a bit, Ku Wei would be able to satisfy Lu Yin’s potential need for more blood. Lu Yin would just wait for Ku Wei to recover and then Enhance more blood in one go.

Ku Wei was summoned back to the main hall, and he stared excitedly at the bottle of Progenitor Chen's blood that he was given. "This is purer than last time, so be careful and take things slow as you absorb it."

Ku Wei grew short of breath. "Thank you, Master! You are the greatest- no, the greatest ever-"

"Alright, that’s enough of your nonsense. Just go keep an eye out on Director Zhi for me and send him to me as soon as he’s available." Lu Yin had no patience for Ku Wei’s antics.

"Don't worry, Master. Your disciple will go now and watch for him!" Ku Wei was still incredibly excited as he left.

Lu Yin also left the main hall. He went to visit the Heavens Sect’s prison to see the members of the army sent by the Perennial World, and then proceeded to throw all of the prisoners onto Zenith Mountain.

He was worried about leaving the prisoners in the open. He had already been in contact with the Technocracy and had learned that the New Corridor might be repaired at any moment. Lu Yin needed to be prepared for his next confrontation with the four ruling powers.

Xia Shenji’s clone was kept separate, as Lu Yin did not want anyone to potentially recognize the man. He would figure out how to deal with that matter later.

The entire army sent to the Fifth Mainland by the Perennial World was now imprisoned on Zenith Mountain. The people who had been prisoners on the mountain for some time already were stunned to see so many of their acquaintances appear, including many powerful seniors and elders. Everyone had become Lu Yin’s prisoners.

Even though Xia Taili and Fatty Wang had already been told that Lu Yin had captured the Perennial World’s army, seeing the truth for themselves was different from merely hearing about it.

"That's Elder Qing Xing! I saw him from a distance when I visited Celestial Frost Sect one time," Yun Tingting commented in a bit of a daze as she stared at a downcast old man in the distance.

Next to the young woman, Wen Diyi softly said, "Even a seven-tribulation Envoy has been captured and imprisoned."

"I heard that there are even Semi-Progenitors," Yun Tingting replied.

Wang Dashuai walked up behind the two. "Did you notice that old man over in the corner? Do you recognize him?"

Wen Diyi and Yun Tingting glanced over at an old man who was even further away from them than Elder Qing Xing, and after some time passed, they finally recognized the old man. Wen Diyi finally whispered, "Bai Laogui!"

The fatty nodded. "He’s a Semi-Progenitor from the Celestial Frost Sect! That’s Bai Laogui!"

Wen Diyi and Yun Tingting both gasped. It was true, even Semi-Progenitors had been captured. Those were people who were second only to Progenitors even in the Perennial World, and Bai Laogui was both a member of the Celestial Frost Sect and the Bai family itself. His capture would trigger a great deal of rage and could even incite a war.

The fatty then gestured for the other two to look in another direction where members of the Xia family had gathered, and there, they saw Xia De. "That’s the Xia family’s Xia De, and even the White Dragon Clan’s Grand Elder Ni Huang. There are also some descendants of the Xia family in this place by the name of Xia Ji, who’s also a Semi-Progenitor. There are important members of every single one of the four ruling powers here."

"Ancestor De, are you alright?" Xia Taili ran over to Xia De, feeling horribly offended to see one of her family’s Semi-Progenitors treated in such a manner.

Xia De answered in a bitter tone, "Child, how have you been? That kid from the Lu family hasn’t treated you badly, has he?"

Xia Taili clenched her fists. "If he had the guts to try, he’d be done for!"

Xia De gave a wry smile as he looked around. Zenith Mountain had become quite lively, though they were all hostages. Their cumulative value was not low.

Yu Chen approached Bai Laogui in a respectful manner and bowed low to the man.

The Semi-Progenitor looked at the woman with cold eyes. "You were captured while we were still in the Technocracy, weren’t you?"

"Yes."

Bai Laogui felt a bit surprised. "Why did Lu Xiaoxuan capture you back then?"

Yu Chen replied, "He wanted to ask me about our sect, but I don’t know much that he asked about."

Bai Laigui responded with a contemptuous snort and fell silent. He was not nearly as arrogant and disparaging of Lu Yin as he had been in the past, as Wang Si had been publicly executed by Lu Xiaoxuan, and that had terribly shocked everyone. The Semi-Progenitors who had been sent to capture Lu Xiaoxuan understood that the young man was willing to actually kill them.

It was at this time that Long Xi arrived to offer a bow to Grand Elder Ni Huang. The old man stared at Long Xi for a moment. "I remember you. You are Long Ke's daughter."

It was impossible for the patriarch’s offspring to be ignored in any family, but despite her powerful family background, Long Xi had been largely ignored by the White Dragon Clan. Ni Huang did not have much of an impression of the girl because Long Ke's branch had replaced the White Dragon Clan’s main branch, which meant that Long Xi was not really a member of the clan’s main family.

As far as Grand Elder Ni Huang was concerned, the only White Dragon Clan descendant who deserved his care and attention was Long Xing. Not even Long Tian, who had received the title of Junior Progenitor, could come close to comparing to Long Xing.

"Long Xi greets the grand elder." Long Xi offered a respectful bow.

The old man nodded. "How long have you been a prisoner here?"

Long Xi considered the question for a few moments. "It's been at least two decades. I was imprisoned here even before Lu- Lu Yin made the mess on Dragon Mountain."

"Did our clan do something wrong?" Ni Huang suddenly asked. The question sounded like it was addressed to Long Xi, but the man looked to be speaking to himself.

Long Xi remained silent for a bit. "Are you referring to exiling the Lu family?"

Ni Huang looked over at Long Xi. "I'm referring to exposing and targeting Lu Xiaoxuan on Dragon Mountain."

Long Xi went stiff, and then she offered another bow before turning around and leaving without offering another word to the elder.

Ni Huang fell deep into thought.

"That’s strange. Where's my Wang family’s elder?" Wang Dashuai asked as he searched for Wang Si.

Wang Su was also looking for the Semi-Progenitor.

Eventually, they both learned of Wang Si’s death.

The news left many of Zenith Mountain’s original prisoners silent, and they felt chills that reached their hearts. It was not Wang Si's death that left them so afraid, but the fact that Wang Si had been publicly executed by Lu Yin. It was a terrible humiliation for a Semi-Progenitor to be publicly executed by a mere Envoy. It was something that no Semi-Progenitor would be willing to accept, but it was undeniable that Wang Si had met her end in just that manner.

Wang Dashuai remained speechless.

"It won’t be long before you will all be able to leave, so I hope that you won’t make any troubles until that time, as there are no guarantees as to what consequences you might face." Lu Yin's voice was heard.

Lu Yin then dismissed the wei that still bound both Wang Zheng and Bai Teng. Without Progenitor Smoke, the wei would continue to weaken more and more as time passed, and the two men would be freed sooner or later. So, it was better to just release them both.

The appearance of the two patriarchs were deeply shocking to everyone, including the members of the Perennial World’s army.

As for Wang Zheng and Bai Teng, they were stunned to see that the army that they had sent had truly been captured, as well as the two of them. Neither man knew how to react.

Lu Yin then put Zenith Mountain away. He did not need to worry about his prisoners for the time being. They were all hostages, and they would not remain on Zenith Mountain for very long. He just needed to wait for the New Corridor to be fully repaired.
