Chapter 2220

Whenever the Lunar Origin appeared, he would cultivate and comprehend the Great Dao. As the Son of Taiyin, his cultivation efficiency was at its peak during this time, several times higher than normal.

When the Sun Origin governed the land, Lin Moyu would comprehend and study formations.

He wanted to try setting up the formation he had secretly learned on the hurricane warship. After some research, Lin Moyu discovered that this formation was at least seventh-rank; with his current abilities, he was unable to set it up.

Lin Moyu was not discouraged and instead began researching sixth-rank formations.

One must take things one step at a time.

Thirty days later, the Human Emperor interrupted Lin Moyu.

"Realm Lord, a bird is looking for you!"

Chapter 2725: The Peculiar Spirit Beast Tribe

Lin Moyu woke from his cultivation and murmured to himself, "It's finally here. It seems quite cautious, arriving later than I expected."

Lin Moyu had known all along that the Dragon Hawk would come. Whether it came in person or sent someone, it would definitely show up.

Lin Moyu just couldn't judge the exact timing, but he figured it wouldn't exceed thirty days.

Because the mass of Power of Life he had given could only last for thirty days.

While thirty days wasn't enough to fully heal the Dragon Hawk's injuries, it could at least ensure it wouldn't go mad during that time, and its soul injuries would certainly have improved.

This state of complete self-control was definitely what it wanted.

So as long as it wasn't a fool, it would definitely come looking for him within thirty days.

Through the origin spirit vein, Lin Moyu teleported back to Yudao City and saw a large bird in the Heavenly Venerable Realm circling outside the city.

Because Lin Moyu had informed the Human Emperor beforehand, the Human Emperor let it in.

In Yudao City, many people saw this peculiar bird, and their faces were filled with curiosity.

However, the Human Emperor said nothing, so they didn't react much either.

In just thirty days, Yudao City had gotten on the right track, with everyone performing their duties and busy with their own affairs.

Compared to thirty days ago, Yudao City had become more refined. Many places had been repolished and decorated with patterns unique to the Great World.

They had also cleared fields outside the city, and those skilled in planting spirit plants had already begun their work.

Lin Moyu had previously purchased some spirit plant seeds, and they could all be put to use now.

Besides that, some people had begun raising spirit beasts.

There were quite a few spirit beasts in the nearby mountains and forests. The Human Emperor had selected some that hadn't even reached the Super God Realm to be raised from a young age.

Once they grew up, these spirit beasts could become spirit pets.

For any faction, spirit pets were an important component; powerful spirit beasts could provide significant combat power.

Under the Human Emperor's control, the entire Yudao City was developing rapidly.

At the same time, the Human Emperor had already begun preparing the third batch of candidates to come out.

This batch also consisted of 1,000 people. Lin Moyu wasn't even very clear on the specific selection criteria, as everything was managed by the Human Emperor.

Not just the candidates, even the teleportation formation had been handed over to the Human Emperor's management. Lin Moyu had truly become a hands-off manager.

Lin Moyu flew to the large bird's side. "Did the Dragon Hawk send you?"

The large bird said, "Yes, the boss told me to bring you over."

Lin Moyu nodded. "Then let's go."

The large bird grew in size, transforming in an instant into a giant bird ten meters long with a wingspan exceeding twenty meters. The giant bird called out, "Get on, I'll carry you there."

Lin Moyu didn't stand on ceremony and landed directly on its back. The giant bird harnessed a light breeze and shot away.

Standing on the giant bird's broad back, Lin Moyu found the oncoming wind blocked by an invisible force. The giant bird could manipulate the power of wind, which shared a similar subtle quality with the Great Dao of Wind comprehended by Daoist Master Tafeng.

Lin Moyu was somewhat curious. "Why are you willing to let me stand on your back?"

The giant bird said, "The boss said to be polite to you."

So that was it. Allowing a stranger to stand on one's back was already the greatest courtesy the other party could offer.

Lin Moyu smiled. "Recently, the Dragon Hawk hasn't gone mad again, has it?"

The giant bird was very honest. "No, the boss has been very well lately. Light Crow said it's all thanks to you, that you stopped the boss from going mad."

Lin Moyu smiled. "It's good that it's under control."

The giant bird asked, "Do you have a way to heal the boss's injuries?"

Lin Moyu said, "I can't guarantee it. If the Dragon Hawk is willing to cooperate, there should be a good chance. I'll discuss the specifics with it; it must decide the risks for itself."

The giant bird said, "If you can heal the boss, our entire tribe will be grateful to you."

Lin Moyu smiled. "We are neighbors; helping each other is only right."

From the simple conversation, Lin Moyu could tell that the giant bird beneath him was a very honest fellow.

Combined with the story Light Crow had told before, the spirit beasts in the Dragon Hawk's tribe seemed quite easy to get along with.

However, he would have to wait until he reached the tribe to see the specifics.

The Dragon Hawk was cautious, and Lin Moyu was no different.

The giant bird flapped its wings, soaring over mountains and lands.

Gradually, a massive valley appeared in his sight.

This valley was very special. From afar, it looked like a large mountain with its center hollowed out, forming a valley that wasn't

very deep.

It could be called a valley, or it could be called a hole.

Through the Eye of the Undead, Lin Moyu saw tens of thousands of Soul Fires.

Judging by the Soul Fires, there were four spirit beasts in the Dao Venerable Realm and as many as several hundred in the Heavenly Venerable Realm within the tribe.

The strongest Soul Fire among them belonged to the Dragon Hawk. Its Soul Fire was much more complete than thirty days ago; the Power of Life had indeed taken effect.

However, Lin Moyu knew that without follow-up treatment, the Dragon Hawk's soul would continue to suffer damage after some time.

The Power of Life only treated the symptoms, not the root cause.

The true source of the Dragon Hawk's soul injury had not yet been eliminated.

Lin Moyu believed the spirit flower could heal the Dragon Hawk's injury, but before that, he still wanted to have a talk with it.

The giant bird carried Lin Moyu into the valley, and in an instant, countless spirit beasts flew out.

Most of them were avian spirit beasts, accounting for over seventy percent of all the spirit beasts.

They circled in the air, staring at Lin Moyu with curiosity.

On the ground and among the trees, a large number of spirit beasts also cast their gazes toward him.

Being stared at by tens of thousands of eyes of various sizes, Lin Moyu remained composed. "It seems they all know about me." The giant bird said, "There are no secrets in our tribe."

Lin Moyu smiled. "I should say, Light Crow has quite a big mouth."

The giant bird hummed in agreement. "Pretty much!"

Lin Moyu didn't even have to guess; it was definitely that fellow Light Crow who had spread the word.

There was no hostility in these gazes; instead, there was a hint of gratitude.

"These spirit beasts are all quite simple-minded!"

Lin Moyu felt a sense of sincerity from these gazes. This kind of sincerity came from the heart and was rarely seen among the human race; they were truly grateful to him.

Countless spirit beasts lined up to form a path, welcoming Lin Moyu as if he were an honored guest. Perhaps in the hearts of these spirit beasts, anyone who could heal the Dragon Hawk was a good person.

Such a Spirit Beast Tribe was extremely rare on the Origin Continent, practically an anomaly.

The giant bird brought Lin Moyu into the valley and before the Dragon Hawk.

As the tribe leader, the Dragon Hawk occupied the highest and most prominent position in the valley.

Below it were four spirit beasts in the Dao Venerable Realm.

Three of them were avian spirit beasts, and the other was a Flood Dragon Snake.

They sized up Lin Moyu, but without the Dragon Hawk's command, they did not act out of turn.

Clearly, the Dragon Hawk held an extremely high status in the tribe.

Lin Moyu left the giant bird and approached the Dragon Hawk. "Looking at you, you seem to have improved quite a bit." The Dragon Hawk said in a low voice, "I'm not fully healed yet."

Its voice was steady, completely lacking the crazed appearance of that day.

That day, upon receiving the Dragon Crow's distress signal, it had been provoked and gradually began to lose control until it finally went completely mad.

Now it was different; they could communicate properly.

Lin Moyu smiled. "Asking me here today wasn't just for the treatment, was it?"

Chapter 2726: You Trust Me, But I Don't Trust You

Lin Moyu looked at the Dragon Hawk. Although they had known each other for a short time, he already had some understanding of it. A fellow like the Dragon Hawk wouldn't accept favors for nothing.

Even if he was willing to treat its injuries as a neighbor, the Dragon Hawk wouldn't accept it for free; it would surely repay him.

So Lin Moyu was certain that the Dragon Hawk calling him over today wasn't just for the treatment, but for other matters as well.

The Dragon Hawk's gaze was somewhat complex. "Thank you for treating my injuries. Recently, I've enjoyed a long-lost peace."

"If you are willing to continue treating my injuries, I can promise to let the Light Crow help your people cultivate."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Moyu's objective was achieved.

However, this wasn't the outcome Lin Moyu wanted. If he truly did as the Dragon Hawk said, their relationship would become a mere transaction.

What Lin Moyu wanted now was to become friends with the Dragon Hawk.

The words he had spoken before were not a joke.

Lin Moyu shook his head. "I said that as your neighbor, I'm willing to be your friend, so helping you heal isn't a transaction."

"As for whether the Light Crow will help my friends cultivate after you're healed, I respect the Light Crow's own thoughts."

"I won't use your injury to make a deal."

Lin Moyu was very sincere, and his words moved the Dragon Hawk.

It seemed to believe Lin Moyu's words. After taking a deep breath, it said, "Fine, we'll talk about that later. Please, help me with the treatment first."

Lin Moyu said, "I've said before, your injury isn't as simple as you think. To truly cure it, I need your absolute trust."

The Dragon Hawk asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Lin Moyu said, "I need to enter your Soul World and see your soul's true form with my own eyes."

As soon as these words were spoken, the four Dao Venerables below all changed countenance. Their gazes became sharp, filled with wariness toward Lin Moyu.

The Dragon Hawk's breathing also became noticeably heavier. Entering one's soul was no small matter.

Opening one's Soul World was an extremely dangerous thing, in case Lin Moyu had any ill intentions.

Lin Moyu said, "Of course, I know you won't easily trust me. It's fine; I can continue providing you with the light spheres from before to maintain your current state.

"But that only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. Moreover, until your soul injury is fully healed, your realm will never be able to break through again."

Lin Moyu was telling the truth, and he knew the Dragon Hawk was aware of this as well.

The Dragon Hawk fell into deep thought. This was a difficult decision to make, and no one else could offer advice; it had to decide for itself.

Lin Moyu continued, "To be honest, I have some selfish motives for treating you. You can see that your injury is very strange, something I've never seen before. It should be related to a Curse, but it's not an ordinary one."

"So I want to see it for myself and study it."

After thinking for a long time, the Dragon Hawk finally made a decision. "Fine, I believe you."

The other four Dao Venerables all looked over, as if asking the Dragon Hawk if it had really thought it through.

Lin Moyu's expression was serious. "Let me confirm once more, are you truly willing to trust me?"

The Dragon Hawk said, "Yes, I choose to trust you."

Lin Moyu smiled, a very sincere smile. "You won't regret it."

With that, he snapped his fingers. The space beside him distorted, and Zhao Dongsheng and the Great Sword Dao Venerable appeared simultaneously.
