Chapter 1228: Progenitor Hui’s Insignia

Lu Yin felt a shiver of fear run through him when he saw Geoffrey\'s terrifying strength. If Geoffrey had not been trapped in the Innerverse when the Outerverse had been cut off, then the attack on Sourcepeak Planet would have gone very differently. Anyone attempting to plot against the Lockbreaker Society would have ended up in major trouble, no matter if they were the Mavis Bank, Aurora Enterprises, or Shamrock Enterprises. No one could compete with the power of the Lockbreaker Society.

Geoffrey alone would have been enough to change the balance of the entire Outerverse, and he might not even be much weaker than Yuan Shi.

Of course, this was nothing more than Lu Yin\'s speculations.

"There." The Frost Emperor found Geoffrey and tore through the void, disappearing from Lu Yin’s sight.

Lu Yin discovered that, while he could not sense any of Geoffrey\'s movements, he was still able to see Geoffrey’s rune lines. Although the Array Master’s runes were enough to injure Lu Yin’s eyes, it only took the quickest of glances to determine Geoffrey’s location.

At this moment, Geoffrey was at the north of Subzero City, and he was solemnly staring at the ground and the mountains.

The Frost Emperor appeared first, quickly followed by Lu Yin.

"What can you see?" Geoffrey asked.

The Frost Emperor and Lu Yin looked around at the mountains and rivers in confusion, but they saw nothing.

Geoffrey raised a hand, causing his star energy to form lines that moved out and cut open the rivers of ice and ground, revealing several hidden seals.

Geoffrey’s star energy was able to reach the sourcebox array, which also meant that he could slice through the entire continent.

The Frost Emperor’s heart skipped a beat at this sight, as he feared that his Royal Frost Continent would be cut apart.

When Geoffrey stopped, the Frost Emperor and Lu Yin both looked at the ground to see a certain pattern there. It seemed to be… the roots of a tree?

Neither of the two could understand it, and they both looked at Geoffrey in confusion.

Geoffrey\'s eyes revealed some complicated emotions, and he seemed to be reminiscing about something. He solemnly said, "That’s the mark of Progenitor Hui."

These words immediately set off a storm in the minds of Lu Yin and the Frost Emperor.

Progenitor Hui was a legend who had reached the highest cultivation peak that humans could aspire to.

If Lu Yin had heard this name in the past, then he would have been clueless about what reaching the Progenitor realm actually meant. However, after learning what had happened to the Mountain and Seas Zone after the competition for the Cosmic Five, his understanding of Progenitor Hui had completely changed.

This man was someone able to peer through the eons for his plans.

Progenitor Hui’s actions had rippled across the long river of time, and he had included the actions of the Fifth Mainland, the Sixth Mainland, and even the Neohuman Alliance into his calculations. He was someone who represented wisdom and the human civilization.

Lu Yin had not expected to see Progenitor Hui’s mark in this place.

The Frost Emperor was also stunned. Progenitor Hui, Progenitor Hui. Was the Royal Frost Continent left behind by Progenitor Hui?!

Geoffrey looked at the Frost Emperor. "About this sourcebox array, is there any record about who left it?"

The Frost Emperor shook his head and bitterly replied, "No. According to the oral records passed down from my ancestors, this seal must never be broken. Even if everyone on the Royal Frost Continent perishes, this seal still cannot be allowed to break."

At this moment, hearing this sentence again gave Lu Yin a completely different sensation.

If this sealing sourcebox array had really been left behind by Progenitor Hui, and if the Progenitor had ordered that it could never be opened, then those words were absolutely true. Whatever was sealed away here might give rise to some unimaginable disaster.

At this moment, as he stood high in the sky of the Royal Frost Continent, Lu Yin felt a bit of panic, and he was even afraid that stepping on the ground might break the seal.

Geoffrey\'s hunched back straightened out slightly. "Let\'s go. This seal is just cracked, and while creating this sort of sourcebox array is beyond this old man’s abilities, I’m just barely able to repair it."

The other two quickly retreated, as they did not dare to delay and risk releasing whatever had been sealed below.

No one knew what had been sealed beneath the continent, but the unknown always induced greater fear.

Geoffrey approached the leak in the seal, where his body disappeared. Suddenly, the ground shook.

Lu Yin and the Frost Emperor both returned to Subzero City and waited.

If Geoffrey was unable to fix the sourcebox array, then it would not matter if the two were with him or not.

In fact, when Lu Yin initially learned that this array might have been left by Progenitor Hui, his first thought was to contact Highsage Grandmaster and ask the Array Grandmaster to come and repair this array. However, that would be too insulting to Geoffrey.

Lu Yin touched his gadget. If even Geoffrey was unable to fix this array, then Lu Yin would have to immediately contact Eversky Island.

"Seventh Bro, you\'re fine! That\'s great!" Ku Wei saw Lu Yin and rushed forward while shouting.

Lu Yin said, "It seems that your mind is fine and that you weren’t frozen into stupidity."

Ku Wei patted his chest. "Of course not! I can still serve Seventh Bro for 10,000 years."

He was like a dog with only one master.

While Lu Yin and the Frost Emperor had been gone, panic had struck Subzero City, especially when Leader Hong and the other two Envoys had teamed up to fight against the Frost Emperor, as their battle had caused the entire Royal Frost Continent to tremble.

Only when the Frost Emperor returned were the people of Subzero City able to relax.

Shao Yangxun saluted Lu Yin. "Your Highness."

Lu Yin looked at the man. "If your name is Shao Yangxun, then you can\'t call me ‘Your Highness.’ However, you can call me ‘Your Highness’ if your name is Yan Yan."

Shao Yangxun\'s emotions were immediately thrown into turmoil.

When the Frost Emperor saw this, he said, "Alliance Leader Lu has greatly helped in saving our Royal Frost Continent. You can continue to be Yan Yan and serve the Alliance Leader Lu if you wish."

Shao Yangxun replied in a very respectful tone, "Yes, lord."

He then turned back to Lu Yin. "Yan Yan is guilty."

Lu Yin was still very angry about being betrayed, but it had proven to be a blessing in disguise. Yan Yan had his own story and home, and the two of them had never been friends or very close. In reality, Yan Yan had merely been a captain of one of the Great Yu Empire’s Thirteen Imperial Squadrons, which meant that he had just been a subordinate.

Upon thinking of this, Lu Yin looked at the Frost Emperor. "Senior, please don\'t forget what you promised me earlier."

The Frost Emperor replied, "Don\'t worry. As long as the seal is successfully repaired, you will be given a great reward."

Some distance away, a man looked at Lu Yin with mixed feelings. He was Che Han, and he had once been on the Top 100 Rankings, and he had even fought with Lu Yin at the Sea King’s Dome.

Back then, there had not been a great difference in strength between the two, and although Lu Yin had been stronger, Che Han had still been able to see Lu Yin as a rival, unlike the present moment.

He still owed Lu Yin a favor, as Lu Yin had allowed Che Han to pull out the Sea King’s trident. But unfortunately, Che Han had not been able to succeed. He had actually been competing in the contest to become the Sea King’s son-in-law so that he could ask the Sea King to help for the Royal Frost Continent.

Looking back now, it felt like a lifetime ago.

Che Han knew that his favor was no longer of any use to Lu Yin!

Having visited the Innerverse, the Cosmic Sea, and even the Neoverse, Lu Yin was no longer as curious as he had been when first leaving Earth.

Lu Yin quietly remained in the city master’s mansion as he waited to see how things would work out with Geoffrey.

A few days passed in a flash, and there were no signs of Geoffrey repairing the sourcebox array. It was completely peaceful, as though nothing was being done.

There were several moments when the Frost Emperor wanted to take a look out of curiosity, but he was stopped by Lu Yin.

So, he could only force himself to be patient and wait for two more days.

On this day, Ku Wei raised his head and gave the sky a strange look; why did it not seem to be quite as cold as before?

Ku Wei was not the only one, as Lu Yin had also noticed the change.

When the Frost Emperor appeared, he was ecstatic. "Alliance Leader Lu, it’s warmer! This is not due to any flames or outside heat, but it’s because the temperature of the entire continent is climbing."

Lu Yin smiled and replied, "It would seem that President Geoffrey was successful."

The Frost Emperor nodded. Ever since the sourcebox array had started leaking that cold air, he had been terrified that his Royal Frost Continent would completely freeze over, and he had been even more worried that the seal had been permanently damaged. His ancestors’ warnings were still vivid within his mind, which had made it difficult for him to calm down even when training. He had sent many people out to seek help. On the bright side, that had allowed his people to become acquainted with many powerful Lockbreakers. Shao Yangxun was a good example of this, as were Che Han and the others.

In truth, the Frost Emperor had always known that it would be practically impossible for the people that he had sent out to find and bring back a powerful Lockbreaker. Another reason why he had sent them out was to leave behind a spark of hope for his Royal Frost Continent. After all, everyone who had been sent out had been an elite powerhouse. If not for his ancestors’ orders, then the Frost Emperor would have simply migrated the entire population of Subzero City out.

It was also true that, if he asked for help himself, he could easily gain the help of an Array Master. After all, the Frost Emperor was a powerful Envoy. Still, that was the very last option, and unless absolutely necessary, he would not take a single step away from the Royal Frost Continent, as his absence would mean that Subzero City might freeze over at any moment. This was why he had limited himself to remaining on the Royal Frost Continent.

Lu Yin could also be considered to be unlucky. If he had not just happened to be passing through Blazing Mist Flowzone and been quite close to the Royal Frost Continent, then he would never have been caught.

The Frost Emperor had only tried to capture Lu Yin because Shao Yangxun had told too many stories about how Lu Yin had crossed realms with his power vessels. Lu Yin’s successes and defeats were tied to his items, which made the Frost Emperor view Lu Yin in a strange light.

Before long, Geoffrey silently appeared within the city master’s mansion. The old man was even more hunched over than before, and he looked exhausted.

The Frost Emperor asked everyone else to leave, and he looked at Geoffrey with expectation clear in his eyes.

Geoffrey sighed emotionally. "This is indeed something worthy of being left behind by Progenitor Hui. He may have even arranged 90% of this seal himself, and the danger zones contained within this array are as vast as the sea. This thing is far more than a single sourcebox array, and it is actually several, or even dozens of sourcebox arrays superimposed on top of each other. This is something that can’t be understood unless one has reached the ranks of an Array Grandmaster.”

Lu Yin\'s heart sank, and he took out his gadget. It seemed that Geoffrey had failed and that he had not been able to completely repair the array, so Lu Yin needed to call Eversky Island!

The Frost Emperor felt helpless. "Even Senior can’t repair it?"

Geoffrey sighed.

Lu Yin turned on his gadget.

"It’s fixed," Geoffrey said.

The Frost Emperor was taken aback.

Lu Yin hesitated and stared at Geoffrey in confusion. "Senior, what did you say? It’s fixed?"

Geoffrey nodded and smiled, a hint of smugness clear on his thin face. "Of course it\'s repaired!"

"Didn\'t you say that only an Array Grandmaster could understand anything about it?" Lu Yin wondered.

Geoffrey raised his head high. "This old man is infinitely close to becoming an Array Grandmaster."

Lu Yin was left speechless. "You were able to comprehend the array?"

"No," Geoffrey replied succinctly.

Lu Yin choked several times and fell silent.

The Frost Emperor asked, "Could Senior really not understand the sourcebox array? Then how did you manage to repair it?"

Geoffrey sighed. "There was only a small leak, so it didn’t matter whether or not I could understand the array."

The Frost Emperor did not quite believe this claim.

Lu Yin did not believe it either. He did not understand how a sourcebox array could be repaired without understanding it.

Seeing the two people’s expressions, Geoffrey rolled his eyes at them. "What? If the paint peels on your spaceship, then you touch it up and fix it. Does that mean that you can rebuild the ship? The hole in the array was like the paint peeling, so I just needed to give it a touch-up. I didn’t need to actually change anything at all, get it?"

With this, the two finally understood.

Lu Yin felt a little ashamed, as he, a Boundless Advanced Lockbreaker, had not even been able to fix some peeling paint.

This also showed how broad and profound lockbreaking truly was, and how far he still had to go.

Geoffrey had repaired the leak, so the Frost Emperor quickly brought out his best wine.

For Geoffrey, there was nothing on the Royal Frost Continent that could even arouse his attention, so the only thing that the Frost Emperor could do was serve some wine.
