Had the Void Rip sourcebox array been made from this tree bark?

The Void Rip array contained an attack of the Void Rip battle technique and was able to perfectly release the technique.

The sourcebox array itself was very important, but a material capable of accommodating the Void Rip battle technique was actually even more important.

Accommodate, tree bark… Lu Yin suddenly connected some dots; could this be bark from the Mother Tree?

The Mother Tree was even able to store stellular liquid, so it definitely had the ability to store something like the Void Rip battle technique. Even though Lu Yin was just guessing, he felt that his conclusions were highly probable.

“Alliance Leader, there’s nothing else here, so let’s go,” Bai Shui said.

Lu Yin stored the Void Rip sourcebox array and the tree bark away before turning to Bai Shui. “I have a question for you.”

Bai Shui felt confused.

Lu Yin asked, “If you had come in here all alone, and the Second Nightking was waiting outside, what would you have done?”

Bai Shui dropped her head. “The things here-”

”Don’t try to say that you would have used the things here to protect yourself. I already know just how powerful these items are, and you probably also know how strong the Second Nightking is. Nothing here would have been able to help you,” Lu Yin cut her off.

Bai Shui’s eyes flitted about. “There’s another exit to this place.”

“Where?” Lu Yin demanded.

Bai Shui clenched her fists and looked around the treasury.

Lu Yin continued to calmly stare at the woman.

Sweat dripped from Bai Shui’s forehead as she wracked her brain for an answer.

Lu Yin just waited patiently.

After a while, Bai Shui let out a sigh. “What are you trying to say, Alliance Leader Lu?”

“I’ve already said what I wanted to. Don’t try telling me that you would’ve come in here for these inheritances no matter what. If the Second Nightking were waiting outside, then everything here would have ultimately belonged to him. So, what gave you the assurance that you could leave with anything at all?” Lu Yin questioned.

Bai Shui bit her lips and met Lu Yin’s eyes with a pleading gaze. “Alliance Leader Lu, this matter is a secret between the Bai family and the Daynight clan. Could you please let me keep this to myself?”

Lu Yin’s eyes grew sharp. “The Daynight clan no longer exists. The Great Eastern Alliance has taken control of the Daynight clan, which means that this secret now belongs to the Bai family and the Great Eastern Alliance.”

Bai Shui trembled as she thought about this change.

The more the woman hesitated to answer, the more Lu Yin wanted to learn about this secret. Nothing in the treasury would have been able to protect her from the Second Nightking, which meant that the item she had taken upon first entering the treasury was the secret that she was trying to keep. That secret was the most valuable thing that had been in the room.

Fortunately, Lu Yin had made a point of asking this particular question; otherwise, he would have forever remained ignorant.

“Have you ever heard of the Sealed Cage Technique, Alliance Leader Lu?” Bai Shui finally asked helplessly.

Lu Yin’s eyes went wide. “The same Sealed Cage Technique that the Nightkings used to control the Daykings?”

Bai Shui sneered. “To be precise, it’s the Sealed Cage Technique that the Bai family used to control the Daynight clan. The Daynight clan was once the Bai family’s slaves.”

Lu Yin was shocked. “The Daynight clan was the Bai family’s slaves?”

Bai Shui nodded. “Back when the Daosource Sect was still in the Fifth Mainland, the Celestial Frost Sect was a major force within the Innerverse, and the Bai family stood at the top of the Celestial Frost Sect. The Daynight clan was the Bai family’s slaves, and one of our Semi-Progenitor elders created the Sealed Cage Technique in order to have better control over the Daynight clan.

“However, after the Celestial Frost Sect left, the Daynight clan started harboring rebellious thoughts, especially after the appearance of the First Nightking and the Dayking. Eventually, they killed the members of the Bai family who had stayed behind with only a few survivors. After that, the Sealed Cage Technique was lost. Despite everything, the First Nightking was extremely talented and managed to modify the Bai family’s Sealed Cage Technique so that the Nightkings could use it to control the Daykings.

“This is the Sealed Cage Technique.” She took out a jade.

Lu Yin had certainly not expected to learn that the Sealed Cage Technique had been created by one of the Bai family’s Semi-Progenitors in order to reinforce the Daynight clan’s status as slaves.

He took the jade. “This is what you stored away when I first got in here?”

Bai Shui nodded. “The Daynight clan killed my family, so I wanted to learn the Sealed Cage Technique in order to get revenge.”

Lu Yin stared at her. “Are you actually confident in being able to control the Second Nightking after learning the Sealed Cage Technique?”

Bai Shui explained, “The Sealed Cage Technique affects the bloodline, and there is absolutely no way to resist it. The First Nightking altered the technique to control the Daykings, but the Sealed Cage Technique still exists within the Nightkings as well. According to my family’s records, when the Daynight clan was enslaved to the Bai family, even a child was able to control an Enlighter from the Daynight clan. Thus, I’m fully confident in being able to controll the Second Nightking.”

Lu Yin gasped. This technique was too overbearing if even a child could control an Enlighter. It was no wonder why the Daynight clan had rebelled against the Bai family!

Nobody would be willing to be enslaved, and the Bai family was at fault for leaving behind members of their family who had been useless enough to be killed by the First Nightking. If not for that mistake, Daynight Flowzone would have stayed as Celestial Frost Flowzone, and the Daynight clan would never have risen to power.

Lu Yin looked at the piece of jade with blazing eyes. “Could I control the Daynight clan if I mastered the Sealed Cage Technique?”

Bai Shui hesitated a moment before nodding. “That’s right. Anyone who learns the Sealed Cage Technique can control the Daynight clan. On top of that, the Sealed Cage Technique is actually very easy to learn, to the point where even someone who just started cultivating can learn it.”

This was the precise reason why a child from the Bai family could control Enlighters from the Daynight clan. Lu Yin was more than qualified to learn this technique.

Lu Yin instantly regretted Nightking Dijiang’s death, as well as the Second Nightking’s soon-to-be imprisonment within Gaia’s Swamp. If he had known that such a technique was within reach, he would have never allowed either event to occur, as the two men could have become his bodyguards.

What a waste. If he had known about this sooner, the powerhouses of the Daynight clan would have all ended up working for Lu Yin! The Great Eastern Alliance would have become far more powerful than before and would have been able to easily dominate the Innerverse.

Why had he not learned about this matter earlier?

Bai Shui felt increasingly uncomfortable despite not knowing what was running through Lu Yin’s mind. She felt sad about losing the Sealed Cage Technique, as she had intended to use it to take control of the Daynight clan. However, as Lu Yin had said, the Daynight clan had already been captured by the Great Eastern Alliance, which made the technique useless to her, as she could not control the clan anyways.

If she tried to take control of the Daynight clan, she would end up as the Great Eastern Alliance’s enemy.

Lu Yin sighed as he put the jade away. There was nothing that he could change since everything had already occurred.

“Let’s go,” Lu Yin said.

Bai Shui nodded.

Although entering the treasury required blood from the Bai family’s main bloodline, leaving was easy as anyone could just walk through the copper door.

Lu Yin walked out of the room and almost ran into the Chief Justice’s shadow.

Bai Shui bowed as soon as she saw the Chief Justice.

The Chief Justice said nothing to Lu Yin about what he had gained from the treasury, but instead only asked, “Child of the Bai family, what is sealed underground?”

Lu Yin looked over at Bai Shui with curiosity; there was an underground seal?

Bai Shui was lost. “Seal? What seal?”

The Chief Justice coldly pressed, “You don’t know about it?”

Bai Shui shook her head and bowed yet again. “Please believe me, Sir Chief Justice. I know nothing about any seal.”

The Chief Justice walked away, and Lu Yin and Bai Shui both followed.

The two younger people soon felt a suppressed aura, but they could not determine where the aura was coming from.

Lu Yin tried looking for runes, but he could not see anything.

The Chief Justice suddenly stopped walking, and Lu Yin and Bai Shui stepped forward to stare off into the distance.

They saw dust flying across the ground, and a symbol of a broken root eventually appeared.

Lu Yin’s expression grew sharp as he blurted, “Progenitor Hui’s symbol?”

“Yes, that’s Progenitor Hui’s symbol,” the Chief Justice affirmed.

Bai Shui’s mouth fell open. Progenitor Hui was a legend to her. She had heard about the invincible Progenitor Chen, the Rune Progenitor, Progenitor Hui, and others, but such people existed only in historical records, as nobody alive had ever seen them before. Even though she was a descendant of the Bai family, her knowledge of the universe was actually at a similar level as an average cultivator’s. The concept of a Progenitor was so distant that she could not even imagine it.

Despite all of that, she was currently staring at something that came from a real Progenitor; this was Progenitor Hui’s symbol.

Lu Yin carefully observed the symbol. “Sir Chief Justice, you mentioned that there was an underground seal; was it put in place by Progenitor Hui?”

“If Progenitor Hui left his symbol behind, then it should mean that he sealed this place,” the Chief Justice agreed.

Lu Yin thought back to the Royal Frost Continent which had actually been established on top of a massive seal. Nobody knew what was beneath the seal, but it had also been sealed by Progenitor Hui.

It seemed like Progenitor Hui had sealed multiple locations, including the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins. Just what was under these seals?

The Celestial Frost Sect had their own Progenitor, so why would they have allowed Progenitor Hui to seal this place? Had this place been sealed when the Celestial Frost Sect was still in the Fifth Mainland, or had it been sealed after they left?

“Sir Chief Justice, do you know what’s under the seal?” Lu Yin asked.

The Chief Justice did not answer.

Lu Yin then remembered that the man had just asked Bai Shui the same question, so he clearly did not know what was under the seal.

No matter how powerful the Chief Justice was, Lu Yin felt that the man was not capable of discovering anything at all when it came to something that was related to Progenitor Hui.

Even if the Sixth Mainland’s three Progenitors were present, Lu Yin still would not expect them to understand anything that Progenitor Hui had left behind.

Progenitor Hui had been one of the most intelligent people in all of history, and he had even altered its flow. Even though Lu Yin did not know how powerful the Progenitor had been, the fact that he had managed to outsmart both the Sixth Mainland and Aeternus proved how much power he had wielded.

If Progenitor Chen represented the apex of physical strength, Progenitor Hui represented the apex of wisdom.

“You don’t know anything about this seal?” Lu Yin asked Bai Shui.

She grew completely solemn. “I swear that I know nothing at all about this.”

Lu Yin believed Bai Shui, as there was no way she could know about Progenitor Hui’s seal. In fact, it was possible that not even her ancestors who had left the items behind had known about this seal. The Celestial Frost Sect only had a single Progenitor, and that Progenitor would have been the only person with the right to know about such a seal. The Progenitor would not have bothered to leave an inheritance behind for descendants like Bai Shui, which meant that the inheritances had to have been left by somebody else.

“Let’s go. This place cannot be seen by anyone else,” the Chief Justice coldly stated.

Lu Yin agreed. Since Progenitor Hui had sealed the place, there had to be a reason behind it. This place had to be kept completely hidden in order to avoid it being discovered by Aeternus.

They soon returned to the bottom of the Celestial Frost Pond. Lu Yin threw Bai Shui out of the pond and turned to the Chief Justice with a smile. “Brother, I brought you something good from the treasury.”

He pulled out the bottle of stellular liquid.
