Chapter 1267

The gap in cultivation realms was too vast.

The mysterious figure looked into the distance, where a skeleton stood. "A decent ability; it can directly peer into others' souls. Even a God Venerable would find it hard to detect."

The mysterious figure's voice was crisp, sounding quite young.

He had pinpointed the ability of Undead Vision in a single sentence. Of course, the ability of Undead Vision was not limited to just peering into souls.

However, Lin Moyu did not want to continue chatting about this topic. "Senior, were you here just now?"

The mysterious figure's voice sounded very indifferent. "What do you think?"

What do I think? I think nothing of the sort.

Lin Moyu felt that he definitely hadn't been here just now, but he was too embarrassed to say that he hadn't been.

Thinking this in his heart, he said aloud, "It seems you wanted to test this junior. Had I known you were here, I wouldn't have had to struggle so much."

The mist on the mysterious figure's face rippled slightly. Lin Moyu felt that he must have had some expression, only he couldn't see it.

The mysterious figure said, "No matter the time, you must never entrust your life to others. You must fight for your own life."

Lin Moyu's mouth twitched. Previously, he had guessed that this guy probably wasn't there.

Now he was completely certain that this guy definitely hadn't been there.

If he had really waited for him to save his life just now, the grass on his grave would probably be three meters high by now.

However, what he said was also correct; one must fight for one's own life. Relying on anyone is not as good as relying on oneself.

"Many thanks, Senior. This junior has been taught." Lin Moyu bowed slightly to the mysterious figure to show respect.

No matter what he said about him in his heart, at least on the surface, he was still polite to him.

"Hmm!" The mysterious figure hummed softly, seemingly very satisfied with Lin Moyu's attitude.

Seeing that his attitude seemed quite amiable and lacked the high-and-mighty demeanor from back in the black hole, Lin Moyu seized the opportunity to ask, "Senior, I have a question."

"Speak!"

"How did that palm strike from the Ancient Buddha lock onto me?"

Lin Moyu had always been curious about this; how could the Ancient Buddha lock onto him?

The Buddhist Clan was countless light-years away from the battlefield.

To be able to firmly lock onto him across such a vast space—even the Ancient Buddha should not be able to do that.

The mysterious figure said indifferently, "The Law of Causality."

"The Law of Causality!" Lin Moyu repeated the mysterious figure's words. "I remember that the Law of Causality is ranked in the first tier; it is a mysterious and powerful law. No one in our Human Clan has mastered this law. I didn't expect that someone in the Buddhist Clan would actually possess it."

The mysterious figure snorted softly. "He hasn't mastered this law; he is only able to use a sliver of it through an ancient relic."

"And you don't need to worry. He could only strike with that one palm; he will find it difficult to lock onto you again afterward."

Lin Moyu let out a sigh of relief, his heart settling down.

He was afraid that if the other party gave him a few more hits, it would be a real headache.

He couldn't just hide here forever and never go out.

Lin Moyu asked, "Then, will he come over himself?"

"No!" The mysterious figure answered decisively. "That guy has his own troubles to deal with."

The Ancient Buddha has his own troubles to deal with?

These four words contained a massive amount of information.

For a moment, Lin Moyu's thoughts wandered. The mysterious figure coughed lightly, interrupting Lin Moyu's train of thought. "You don't need to guess blindly; matters at that level have nothing to do with you."

"I am actually quite curious why he attacked you."

Lin Moyu smiled. "I obtained a statue of a meditating Buddha in the Nether Swamp. I didn't expect that the soul of Buddha Leyi was hidden inside the Buddha statue."

"Buddha Leyi said he was the grandson of the Ancient Buddha, but I didn't pay him any mind."

The mysterious figure seemed to be looking at Lin Moyu, and Lin Moyu felt an invisible gaze.

After a few breaths, the mysterious figure asked, "What did you do to Buddha Leyi?"

Lin Moyu said with a straight face, "My spell cannot be stopped once activated; he was refined."

Refined, which meant he was dead.

Regardless of how the process went, the result was the same.

There was no longer anyone named Buddha Leyi in this world.

"You have quite the nerve, daring to kill him even while knowing he was the grandson of the Ancient Buddha." The mysterious figure's voice remained indifferent; it was unclear whether he was praising or mocking Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu took it as a compliment. "I didn't know if what he said was true or false. Besides, my spell really couldn't be stopped. If he had spoken up earlier, perhaps there might have been a chance."

"Is that so?" The mysterious figure sneered, obviously not believing Lin Moyu's words.

Lin Moyu replied silently in his heart, "Yes. If he had spoken up earlier, I would have let Senior Zhu kill him. I imagine Senior Zhu would have been able to block a palm strike from the Ancient Buddha."

Lin Moyu felt that it wouldn't be a problem for Zhu Qiwu to block that palm strike. Even if he couldn't block it, he would certainly have a way to save his life.

Seeing that Lin Moyu didn't speak, the mysterious figure changed the subject. "The life-saving stone I gave you, why didn't you use it?"

"I hadn't reached a desperate situation yet. If there was really no other way, I would have used it." Lin Moyu answered very honestly this time; in fact, that was indeed the case.

The mysterious figure said, "Take out the life-saving stone."

Lin Moyu took out the black life-saving stone. This inconspicuous stone, something that no one would bother to pick up if it were dropped on the road—who would have known it came from the hands of a big shot?

The mysterious figure extended a finger and tapped the life-saving stone lightly. An invisible law entered the stone, and the already black stone became even darker.

Lin Moyu felt it warming up slightly, as if the power inside had become a bit stronger.

The mysterious figure said, "I have enhanced its power. If another person of the Ancient Buddha level attacks you, it can ensure you do not die."

Lin Moyu's mouth twitched. The subtext of the mysterious figure's words was that if he had encountered an Ancient Buddha-level figure attacking him before, the life-saving stone wouldn't have been able to save his life.

It couldn't before; it only could after being strengthened now.

Isn't this setting someone up for failure? Fortunately, he hadn't used it this time.

If he had pinned his hopes on the life-saving stone this time, would he have died?

"As expected, one cannot trust others too much; one must still fight for one's own life." Lin Moyu thought in his heart, put away the life-saving stone, and said aloud, "Many thanks, Senior."

The mysterious figure said, "Alright, continue your cultivation on your own."

As the words fell, the mysterious figure rippled like water waves, then shattered and vanished like bubbles.

Lin Moyu let out a sigh. "As expected, my level is still not high enough. Some things probably wouldn't yield an answer even if I asked."

Lin Moyu naturally had other questions, but he felt that asking wouldn't provide answers, so he simply didn't ask.

With the crisis of the Ancient Buddha's palm strike passed, Lin Moyu turned his gaze to this special void.

He prepared to use the Wonder Spirits to cultivate his physical body.

…

Outside the Wondrous Land, Zhu Qiwu's eyes were filled with worry.

Suddenly, a voice rang in his ear, "He is fine now."

Chapter 1414: A Look of Looking Down on Himself

The mysterious figure appeared beside Zhu Qiwu. The indifferent voice sounded like music to Zhu Qiwu's ears.

Zhu Qiwu relaxed. "With you taking action, naturally there would be no issues."

The mysterious figure shook his head. "I didn't take action; he saved himself."

Zhu Qiwu was slightly stunned. Facing the Ancient Buddha's palm strike, how could one save oneself?

Even he couldn't block the Ancient Buddha's attack; he might not die, but he would definitely be injured.

Although Lin Moyu had powerful talent, his true strength was still worlds apart from his own; how could he possibly block it?

The mysterious figure said, "He is very smart. He used the characteristics of the Wonder Spirits to delay time, then used the law star in the center to neutralize the Ancient Buddha's palm strike."

Zhu Qiwu let out an "oh." "It's good that he's fine, it's good that he's fine. The brat is indeed quite smart."

The mysterious figure snorted once. "However, he was lucky this time, being right in the Wondrous Land. If it were elsewhere…"

If it were elsewhere, it would basically be ten deaths and no life.

The mysterious figure looked at Zhu Qiwu. "The problem with this matter lies with you. You must have handled the statue of the meditating Buddha, right?"

Zhu Qiwu hummed. "I did handle it."

"You didn't notice that a Buddha soul was hidden inside the statue of the meditating Buddha. This Buddha soul was the grandson of the Ancient Buddha, which is why the Ancient Buddha was able to use the Law of Causality to attack Lin Moyu."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiwu's expression did not look good.

Previously, when the Ancient Buddha's palm strike appeared, he had guessed that the problem must have been with the statue of the meditating Buddha.

He actually knew what Lin Moyu was going to do with the statue of the meditating Buddha.

He only blamed himself for not being careful enough at the time, failing to discover that a Buddha soul was hidden inside—a Buddha soul that actually turned out to be the grandson of the Ancient Buddha.

He had almost caused Lin Moyu's death.

The mysterious figure said, "Everyone has their own destiny. If one is truly meant to die, no one can stop it."

"It's actually not bad that this happened. As the saying goes, a mistake can turn into a blessing, and it has given us an excuse."

Zhu Qiwu trembled all over, his voice filled with shock. "Are we going to make a move against the Buddhist Clan?"

The mysterious figure did not answer directly. "You should break through as soon as possible; perhaps you can still catch up."

A thick fighting spirit surged in Zhu Qiwu's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly. "Good~"

…

Lin Moyu was still replenishing the Undead Legion.

Having narrowly escaped death this time, the Undead Legion was almost completely wiped out.

Now, half a day had passed, and he had only resummoned a third.

But even a third was completely sufficient to deal with the Wonder Spirits.

Lin Moyu had already thought about how to act next, maximizing his advantages to improve his physical body in the shortest possible time.

In the distance, a powerful aura shot toward here. Lin Moyu looked at the person coming. "Senior Brother Xiao, why are you here?"

Xiao Sheng arrived at high speed and stopped with a swoosh in front of Lin Moyu. "Junior Brother Lin, you are fine; that is truly great."

His voice was somewhat excited, and the anxiety in his eyes had not yet faded.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly. "A narrow escape from death."

Xiao Sheng nodded. "Junior Brother Lin is indeed extraordinary, able to even block a palm strike from the Ancient Buddha."

Lin Moyu had roughly understood Xiao Sheng's intention and could also feel Xiao Sheng's sincere concern. "It was just luck. Senior Brother Xiao, your injuries have not yet healed; you shouldn't have come."

Xiao Sheng shook his head. "It's no hindrance. With Junior Brother Lin's law ball, mere injuries will heal quickly. It's just a pity that I, Xiao, lacked the strength and couldn't help Junior Brother Lin."

"Senior Brother Xiao, it was thoughtful of you to come; this sentiment is more important than anything else."

The two spoke a few more sentences before Xiao Sheng began to return.

His injuries had not yet healed, and it was indeed not suitable for him to come here.

In case any other accidents happened, it would be hard to say.

Fortunately, the Wonder Spirits along the way had already been cleared out before this.

After Xiao Sheng left, Lin Moyu whispered to himself, "I should also get to work."

One by one, the Skeleton Divine Generals flew out, heading in all directions.

Lin Moyu didn't need to search for the Wonder Spirits himself; the Skeleton Divine Generals could do it on his behalf.

He only needed to wait here, waiting for the Skeleton Divine Generals to bring back suitable Wonder Spirits.

The Light-Speed Lich lay quietly on Lin Moyu's shoulder. With it present, the Skeleton Divine Generals could also turn into streams of light, reaching a speed of 150,000 kilometers per second.

The Wondrous Land wasn't that big, but it wasn't small either; it would take some time to find the Wonder Spirits and bring them back.
