Chapter 1946

With this in mind, he extravagantly threw out another drop of ancestral water. The second drop of ancestral water landed on the Skeleton King, and the Skeleton King's aura rose once again.

The Skeleton King grew slightly stronger, but the magnitude of this increase was far less than the first time.

Lin Moyu made an estimation, "The Skeleton King's combat power is now roughly comparable to the Bone Battle Formation."

With a thought, a third drop of ten thousand color water flew out.

The Skeleton King's combat power rose slightly once more, though the increase this time was even smaller.

Then came the fourth drop, and the fifth.

The Skeleton King's aura grew stronger and stronger. After five drops, it had almost reached the mid-stage Sovereign level.

As far as Lin Moyu knew, a Sovereign's strength was roughly divided into three stages—low, middle, and high—as well as the peak.

After absorbing five drops of ancestral water, the Skeleton King's strength was close to the mid-stage Sovereign level, which was also its limit.

Lin Moyu evaluated and pondered, "If I continue to use ancestral water regardless of the cost, the Skeleton King's combat power can be further enhanced, but the increase will become smaller and smaller."

"It is possible that no matter how much ancestral water is used, it won't allow the Skeleton King to break through to the mid-stage Sovereign level.

"The effect of ancestral water is stronger than that of ten thousand color water, but the diminishing marginal utility is more pronounced, so there is no need to use too much."

Lin Moyu now had a clear idea. The effect of ancestral water was strongest when only one or two drops were used.

Three to five drops would still be effective, but the effect would be greatly reduced. Unless one was pursuing the absolute limit, there was no need to use a third drop.

Overall, the existence of ancestral water gave him twenty-five Skeleton Kings comparable to Sovereigns.

ancestral water could be used in various ways; all spells and battle formations could utilize it.

Lin Moyu considered various application scenarios and realized that the existence of ancestral water at least doubled his combat power.

Compared to it, ten thousand color water was truly incredibly weak.

"What a great treasure!"

Being able to obtain ancestral water on this trip was an harvest far beyond his expectations, leaving Lin Moyu incredibly satisfied.

He was not greedy. Although he had not found the Ghost Race or the Dragon Pearl, finding ancestral water was already excellent.

Boom!

The starry sky shook, and his soul jolted in surprise as he sensed that something had happened in the starry sky one light-year away.

The disturbance was incredibly violent, felt even from a distance of one light-year.

Even a battle between those in the Saint Venerable Realm would have difficulty sending shockwaves over a light-year away.

The starry sky continued to tremble, rumbling incessantly.

This kind of rumbling was inaudible to ordinary people; only someone with a powerful spiritual perception like Lin Moyu could sense it.

With a thought, Lin Moyu immediately opened a Space Gate.

The world one light-year away shook more and more violently, the rumbling echoing through his soul like heavy hammer blows.

The sound of rushing water and surging waves filled the air. As soon as Lin Moyu arrived, he immediately frowned.

This place had turned into a world of water. The Great World's barrier seemed to have been punctured with a massive hole, and the water of the Boundary Sea was pouring in frantically.

The gap was so immense that its edges were nowhere in sight.

Standing in the distance, Lin Moyu muttered to himself, "Although the Great World has lost most of its control here, the world's physical structure still remains relatively intact."

"An incident like a massive hole tearing open and the Boundary Sea pouring in shouldn't happen very often."

He faintly sensed that the sudden appearance of a massive hole in the Great World was not simple.

As the Boundary Sea churned, Lin Moyu suddenly felt a trace of spatial power, and at the same time, a light lit up from within the Boundary Sea.

"Someone is there!"

There were actually people inside the pouring Boundary Sea. Before he could get a clear look, with a loud boom, the Boundary Sea erupted with spray, rolling and rising straight into the sky.

A strange fish, round as a ball all over, was blasted out, leaving the Boundary Sea.

The strange fish roared continuously, its voice filled with terror. Its fins flapped wildly as it struggled desperately.

But its struggle was completely futile. Around its body, a layer of spatial laws was wrapped.

The spatial laws warped space, instantly sending it hundreds of millions of miles away from the Boundary Sea.

Amidst the spatial distortion, a Space Gate opened hundreds of millions of miles away. Two figures rushed out of the Space Gate and engaged in a fierce battle with the strange fish.

The strange fish struggled frantically, but it was useless; it was completely suppressed.

The two cooperated with tacit understanding. One manipulated space, using spatial laws to strangle and restrict the strange fish's movements.

The other held a sharp sword, repeatedly slashing wounds onto the strange fish, as if trying to disembowel it and slice it into pieces.

Lin Moyu watched from afar, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Both possessed the strength of the Saint Venerable Realm. One of them, a man, was of the Human Race, while the other, a woman who looked eighty to ninety percent similar to a human, manipulated spatial laws and belonged to the Starry Merman Race.

Since she wasn't Luo Shen, her identity was immediately obvious.

The man was Luo Qitian, Luo Shen's father.

The woman was named Yu Lan'er, Luo Shen's mother and the former princess of the Starry Merman Race.

Back then, the two of them had eloped and headed to the outer domain.

Many years later, Luo Qitian returned alone, bringing back Luo Shen.

At that time, everyone believed Yu Lan'er was dead because the Starry Merman Race had very short lifespans. Even a Saint Venerable only had five thousand years, far inferior to the Human Race.

Later, Luo Qitian left again. Only Saint Venerable Hao knew that Luo Qitian had gone to find Yu Lan'er, and that she was not dead.

Luo Shen actually knew this as well, and it was precisely because of this that after reaching adulthood and cultivating to the Saint Venerable level, she also headed to the outer domain to search for her parents.

Whether it was Yu Lan'er or Luo Shen, they shared one thing in common: they had both broken the curse that the Starry Merman Race could only live for five thousand years.

Judging by their age, Yu Lan'er and Luo Qitian had both lived for over ten thousand years by now.

They had never returned, and no one knew what they were doing in the outer domain.

Under the joint attack of the two, the strange fish quickly fell into a desperate situation.

No matter how it resisted, it was to no avail. Especially after leaving the Boundary Sea, the strange fish's aura weakened rapidly, making it no match for the two at all.

The wounds on the strange fish grew increasingly severe. After holding out for just a few minutes, it was finally disemboweled and thoroughly slain.

Luo Qitian held his sharp sword, sweeping a blue flash of light to sever the strange fish's head.

Immediately after, spatial laws erupted, grinding the strange fish's head into powder, and from it, he retrieved a bone-like object.

Lin Moyu watched from afar. The bone retrieved from the strange fish's head was translucent as jade and exceptionally extraordinary.

'Did they kill the strange fish for this bone?' Lin Moyu thought to himself and flew over.

After obtaining the bone, Yu Lan'er activated the Law of Space, bringing Luo Qitian and the strange fish's corpse instantly before Lin Moyu.

The two had actually known of Lin Moyu's presence long ago, but they were in the middle of a fierce battle and had ignored him.

Lin Moyu bowed to the two. "Greetings, Senior Luo, Senior Lan!"

"Wait a moment!" Luo Qitian casually tossed the strange fish's corpse back into the Boundary Sea, then took out a magic treasure resembling a trident.

The two worked together to activate the magic treasure, which radiated a colorful glow that landed on the gap in the Great World's barrier.

Under the shine of the blue light, the Great World's barrier gradually healed, and the Boundary Sea receded accordingly. After a brief moment, everything was restored to its original state.

Only then did Luo Qitian turn to look at Lin Moyu. "May I ask your esteemed name, fellow daoist?"

Chapter 2315: Fish Meat from the Boundary Sea

Since they were both humans and both Saint Venerables, Luo Qitian's attitude was very polite.

He probably hadn't expected to meet a fellow clansman at the edge of the world, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Beside him, Yu Lan'er's expression was somewhat cold, and she stood next to Luo Qitian without saying a word.

In her eyes, Lin Moyu did not seem to be of much importance.

Lin Moyu said with a smile, "Junior Lin Moyu. I once heard Saint Venerable Hao speak of Senior Luo's story. I didn't expect to run into you here."

Luo Qitian smiled. "Old Hao, eh? For Old Hao to tell you about me means you must be someone he trusts. I didn't expect that after leaving the Human Race for so many years, such a young Saint Venerable would emerge among our people. Truly remarkable."

He couldn't tell Lin Moyu's exact age, only that Lin Moyu was very young.

To be able to become a Saint Venerable at such a young age, he had to be a top-tier genius.

Lin Moyu replied humbly, "Senior Luo flatters me. I was simply a bit luckier than others."

Luo Qitian laughed. "Fellow daoist, you are too modest. How could reaching the Saint Venerable Realm be due to luck alone?"

At this moment, Yu Lan'er suddenly spoke, "You seem to carry the aura of my Merman Race."

Lin Moyu flipped his palm and took out a seashell.

The seashell was given to him by Princess Yu Qingrou, and over time, he had acquired her aura.

Upon seeing the seashell, a hint of yearning appeared in Yu Lan'er's eyes. "How is my Merman Race doing now?"

Lin Moyu said, "The Merman Race is doing well. They are currently cooperating with the Human Race to construct Space Gates."

Yu Lan'er was instantly surprised. "Constructing Space Gates? How is that possible?"

Space Gates that could be used by ordinary people were the Merman Race's highest achievement in the field of space. How could they possibly build them for the Human Race?

Yu Lan'er felt that something must have happened; otherwise, this would never be the case.

Lin Moyu said, "It's a long story. The situation within the domain has undergone a massive shift. The hundred races have all been wiped out, and the Human Race has regained control of the starry sky…"

Hearing this, Luo Qitian was also shocked. He spoke, "It seems many things have happened in the Human Race over these years. No rush, no rush, we can talk slowly. Meanwhile, you can taste some delicacies that cannot be found in the Human Race."

At these words, Yu Lan'er understood tacitly. With a wave of her hand, a circular landmass with a diameter of ten thousand meters suddenly appeared in the starry sky.

The land was adorned with trees, water, green grass covering the ground, and a small lake.

In the middle of the lake stood a small courtyard, which was Luo Qitian and Yu Lan'er's home.

Luo Qitian said very earnestly, "Please come sit in this Luo's home, fellow daoist, and taste some delicacies that cannot be found in the Human Race."

Lin Moyu agreed immediately, "It just so happens that I have some excellent fine wine here."

"Very good, very good!"

In the courtyard, Lin Moyu and Luo Qitian sat around a hearth, while Yu Lan'er took out two large pieces of meat and roasted them with Saint Venerable Fire.

These two pieces of meat looked like fish. He could tell they were highly extraordinary, emitting an unusual aura.

Even under the roasting of the Saint Venerable Fire, the two pieces of meat cooked very slowly, their aroma releasing bit by bit.

The aroma was as unique as the meat, penetrating straight into the soul. With just a single sniff, Lin Moyu naturally felt a sensation of hunger.

The hunger arose from his soul and quickly spread throughout his body, causing his stomach to rumble.

Lin Moyu had not eaten anything in a long time, and at his level of cultivation, he had absolutely no need for food.

He didn't even know how long it had been since he last felt hunger.

Surprise flashed in Lin Moyu's eyes. "May I ask, Senior Luo, what kind of meat is this?"

Actually, he had already guessed a bit. Meat that could be obtained here and did not exist in the Human Race was, in all likelihood, from the Boundary Sea.

Luo Qitian smiled. "It's a type of fish meat from the Boundary Sea."

"As expected, it's fish meat, just as I guessed. A member of the Merman Race roasting fish meat is indeed a bit bizarre."

Lin Moyu thought to himself, while also taking out two flasks of wine. "Please have a taste, Senior."

Luo Qitian impatiently tipped the wine flask and poured it into his mouth. It was clear that he, too, was a lover of wine.

Having been here for so many years, his past stock had probably been mostly depleted, so it was rare for him to drink so heartily.

After a few large gulps, Luo Qitian exclaimed, "Excellent wine! If I'm not mistaken, this must be a fine vintage aged for at least three thousand years from the Luo Family of the Divine City."

Although they shared the surname Luo, the Luo Family of the Divine City had no relation to Luo Qitian.

However, the fine wine of the Luo Family of the Divine City was somewhat famous within the Divine City, and Luo Qitian had drunk it before.

Lin Moyu smiled. "Senior is indeed correct. It is indeed an aged fine wine from the Luo Family of the Divine City."

Luo Qitian took several more large gulps, wiped his mouth, and said, "It's been so many years since I've drunk this heartily."

Yu Lan'er watched from the side, a smile also appearing in her eyes.
