"Right and wrong had nothing to do with it. He stole our Heavenly Star Sect's treasure for the sake of his grandson, hoping to let the child cultivate the Heavenly Star Art. But that nearly cost the child his life, and our treasure went missing," Elder Gong said. Then he looked at Lu Yin. "The treasure is the pattern beneath your feet."
Lu Yin was confused. "How could a pattern be a treasure?"
Elder Jiu Shen said gravely, "No one in our Heavenly Star Sect has ever been able to cultivate the Heavenly Star Art to its highest level. Reaching that level requires combining the art with this pattern. That is Ancestor Chen's realm."
Lu Yin was stunned. He looked down at his feet. Was the pattern beneath him connected to the highest level of the Heavenly Star Art?
Elder Gong said, "The pattern doesn't just represent the highest level of the Heavenly Star Art. It also conceals Ancestor Chen's secret. That was why the man was certain that having it would allow the child to cultivate the Heavenly Star Art."
Lu Yin understood why the pattern's appearance had drawn Elder Gong and the others out. "Elders, I truly didn't know how important the pattern beneath my feet was. Why don't you take it back?"
Elder Jiu Shen shot him an exasperated look. "If it were that easy to take back, would it still be a treasure?"
Elder Gong sighed. "We have no way of knowing how that old gentleman managed to remove the pattern from the Heavenly Star Jade Wall. We're just as helpless now. The pattern has been engraved into your foot, and it only appears when you open a Death Point. We don't know how to get it back."
"Cut off his leg," Elder Jiu Shen said
