Chapter 2224

Lin Moyu nodded. "Alright, I understand."

As he spoke, with a thought, the Power of Origin in Gu Qingxuan's closed-door cultivation secret room became increasingly dense.

The immense Power of Origin made Gu Qingxuan's breakthrough even smoother.

Without telling anyone he had come out of seclusion, Lin Moyu took a step forward and vanished from where he stood.

Using the origin spirit vein, Lin Moyu teleported. In the next second, he crossed over a hundred thousand kilometers, appearing just thirty thousand kilometers away from the Thunder Eagle Tribe.

Thirty thousand kilometers was not very far. Just a moment later, Lin Moyu arrived at the Thunder Eagle Tribe.

Just as he arrived in front of the tribe, Lin Moyu felt that the atmosphere was somewhat unusual.

The few spirit beasts guarding the outside of the tribe recognized Lin Moyu. Upon seeing him, they immediately shouted, "Boss, Brother Lin is here!"

Inside the tribe, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and Lei Guang shot out like electricity from the tribe.

An immense force descended upon Lin Moyu, turning into a bolt of lightning that wrapped around him and flew off into the distance.

Lin Moyu did not resist; he could feel that Lei Guang harbored no ill intent.

Lei Guang took Lin Moyu far away from the tribe and ascended tens of thousands of meters into the sky.

A sea of thunder emerged, just like a reenactment of the scene from fifty years ago.

Lin Moyu laid down a formation, disturbing space and time. With their combined efforts, they isolated the inside from the outside.

Seeing this, Lin Moyu had already roughly guessed the reason. "Is it about the Dongling Empire?"

Lei Guang nodded. "Yes, fortunately you came in time. In a few more days, I will have to leave this place."

Lin Moyu asked, "Did the Dongling Empire order you to do something?"

Lei Guang said, "The Empire plans to take action against all the races in the Eastern Continent. This is a massive operation. Not only the Human Clan and the Demon Clan, but even the Dragon Clan, the Insect Clan, and the Buddhist Clan will not be spared."

"The entire war might last for over several decades. During this time, I would like to ask you to take care of my tribe."

"If other spirit beasts come to cause trouble, please help me deal with them."

In the Thunder Eagle Tribe, besides Lei Guang, there were also four spirit beasts of the Dao Venerable 1st Realm.

Their strength didn't seem weak, but if even a single spirit beast of the Dao Venerate Second Realm came, they would struggle to resist. He couldn't refuse the Dongling Empire's command, yet he couldn't stop worrying about his tribe, so he could only ask Lin Moyu for help. Lin Moyu smiled and said, "I thought it was something major. Rest assured, your tribe will be fine." Lei Guang trusted Lin Moyu, and seeing him say this, he also felt at ease.

Lin Moyu said, "This time, the Dongling Empire is launching indiscriminate attacks on all races. When it's the Buddhist Clan's turn, you might encounter the Lunar Ksitigarbha Ancient Buddha. You can look for an opportunity to take your revenge then."

Lei Guang nodded. "Naturally. As long as I run into him, I will definitely not let him off."

Lin Moyu knew the Thunder Eagle's strength. Having fully recovered, it was a standout even among those in the Dao Venerable 6th Realm.

As long as it didn't encounter anyone of the Dao Venerable 7th Realm, it would be fine.

However, he still cautioned, "War is unpredictable. You must still be careful and prioritize your own survival."

Lei Guang grunted in agreement. "There should be some spoils of war during the grand battle. According to the rules of the Dongling Empire, whoever gets them keeps them. Is there anything you want? I'll snatch it for you!"

Lin Moyu chuckled. Lei Guang's straightforward way of speaking was quite to his liking.

He didn't stand on ceremony either. "If there's an opportunity, help me get some corpse fragments. Any race will do, and the higher the realm, the better."

In a major war, there would definitely be many casualties. Getting some corpse fragments and flesh would not be discovered by others as long as Lei Guang acted carefully.

Lei Guang although somewhat puzzled, still agreed. "No problem."

Three days later, Lei Guang departed, transforming into a streak of light and flying off into the distance.

Lin Moyu faintly sensed that in the far distance, countless powerful auras seemed to be gathering toward a certain direction.

Because of Lei Guang's instructions, Lin Moyu could freely enter and leave the Thunder Eagle Tribe.

Lin Moyu did not stay long. He left the Great Sword Dao Venerable in the Thunder Eagle Tribe and turned to leave.

The Great Sword Dao Venerable was usually in a state of slumber so as not to waste time. After all, the duration of Resurrection of the Dead was only 2000 days, which was highly limited.

If anything happened to the tribe, they could speak directly to the Great Sword Dao Venerable. The Great Sword Dao Venerable would naturally wake up, and Lin Moyu would also receive the message simultaneously.

Chapter 2732: Truly Seeking Death

After Lin Moyu returned, he relayed what Lei Guang had told him to the Human Emperor, and the two analyzed it together.

The Human Emperor said, "According to data analysis, as a native power of the Eastern Continent and one that operates in the shadows, the Dongling Empire should have its own mission."

"If the analysis is correct, its mission is to prevent various forces from occupying the Eastern Continent."

"Therefore, when the various forces grow strong, they will launch an indiscriminate strike to weaken the power of these forces in the Eastern Continent."

Lin Moyu said, "I actually thought of this as well. I just don't understand why the Dongling Empire would do this."

The Human Emperor said, "There are two possibilities. First, doing so benefits the Dongling Empire."

"Second, someone ordered the Dongling Empire to do so."

Lin Moyu had actually thought of both possibilities.

But regardless of which one it was, he could not fathom the deeper underlying reason.

The Human Emperor, however, was different. Backed by a massive amount of data, it might be able to analyze some reasons.

The Human Emperor searched through the data, looking for possibilities within the vast ocean of information.

After some searching, the Human Emperor found a faint possibility.

"In the Origin Continent, the two most important forces are the Power of Origin and fortune."

"The Power of Origin is an overt power, perceptible and visible. Fortune, on the other hand, is a power in the shadows, imperceptible and invisible."

"However, a long time ago, a type of spirit beast called the Fortune Spirit Beast once appeared, which could absorb the fortune of the deceased."

"If the Dongling Empire possesses such spirit beasts, they could use them to absorb a massive amount of fortune."

"Spirit beasts do not need origin spirit veins. Their power comes from their bloodlines, as well as the two great origins of the Sun and the Moon. Therefore, it is impossible for them to launch such a large-scale war for origin spirit veins."

"Yet they must desire something, so fortune has the highest probability."

Lin Moyu pondered for a moment. With a thought, Zhao Dongsheng appeared by his side.

Zhao Dongsheng, who had comprehended the Great Dao of Ten Thousand Spirits, had the deepest research on spirit beasts.

Lin Moyu asked, "Do you know about the Fortune Spirit Beast?"

Zhao Dongsheng nodded. "Yes, it is a special kind of spirit beast, corresponding to the Origin Spirit Beast."

Zhao Dongsheng explained the details of the Fortune Spirit Beast. It was a special and rare type of spirit beast, having appeared only a few times in the history of the Southern Continent.

"If the Origin Spirit Beast can produce spirit veins and belongs to the tangible, visible category in reality,"

"then the Fortune Spirit Beast belongs to the intangible category, governing fortune, invisible and untouchable."

Lin Moyu murmured, "It seems your analysis is correct. There is indeed such a possibility."

"Then let's talk about the second possibility!" the Human Emperor said. "If it is the second possibility, I have no information in my data to analyze. If, despite the Dongling Empire's strength, someone is truly directing them from behind, then this person must be extremely terrifying."

The Human Emperor did not know of the Green Robe old man's existence, so it was normal that he could not analyze it.

Lin Moyu felt that if there was indeed someone behind the Dongling Empire, it was likely closely related to the Green Robe old man.

In his eyes, the Dongling Empire's actions resembled a game of chess.

The Dongling Empire was merely a collection of powerful chess pieces, and behind it, a giant hand was manipulating them.

However, this was merely a speculation, without any evidence.

Lin Moyu asked Zhao Dongsheng, "Do you know of the Dongling Empire?"

Zhao Dongsheng shook his head. "No."

Lin Moyu was not surprised. Although Zhao Dongsheng was a powerhouse of the Dao Venerable 6th Realm, he was after all not part of the Wen Dao Sect's core lineage, so it was normal that he didn't know.

Lin Moyu said, "Human Emperor, search for more data and analyze it when you have time to see if there are other possibilities."

The Human Emperor said, "I don't have much data on the Eastern Continent here, so it's difficult to make a more accurate analysis."

Lin Moyu sighed. "It seems I'll have to take a trip outside after some time."

To get information on the Eastern Continent, the best way was to buy it from the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce.

The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce also had branches in the Eastern Continent, but they were only located in some of the major cities.

With the Dongling Empire about to launch indiscriminate attacks, Lin Moyu didn't know which major city was safe, making it difficult to travel for the time being.

Previously, he had purchased a map of the Eastern Continent from the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. The map showed that there was a major city located at distances of 1.2 million kilometers, 2 million kilometers, and 3 million kilometers from Yudao City, respectively.

"Then let's wait first, and go after the grand battle."

Lin Moyu decided not to join in on the excitement. This kind of excitement was not fun, and one might even lose their life if they weren't careful.

He was still very weak right now. The best choice was to continue lying low and developing his own forces.

Once this storm passed, he would set out again to inspect the situation and decide on his next move.

Lin Moyu did not enter seclusion; instead, he began to lay down formations.

In the area outside the original Angry Thunder Formation, he began to set up a rank-six formation, the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation.

With Yudao City at its center, the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation covered a radius of fifty thousand kilometers. In Lin Moyu's plan, he needed a full thousand Heavenly Thunder Fire Formations to form a complete formation group.

Once the formation group was formed, it could replace the original Angry Thunder Formation.

With the power of the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation, it could completely kill those of the Dao Venerate Second Realm and block those of the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm.

In this way, the security of Yudao City would be better guaranteed, and the territory of Yudao City could also be greatly expanded.

In addition to Yudao City, several other cities could also be established.

Lin Moyu set up the formations very quickly. One Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation after another took shape and completed their combination. Runes continuously flew out and merged into the formations, greatly enhancing their power.

As the days passed, on the hundredth day after the Thunder Eagle left, the Great Sword Dao Venerable in the Thunder Eagle Tribe suddenly woke up. Someone had awakened the Great Sword Dao Venerable and informed him that enemies were invading.

Lin Moyu received the news immediately. The invader was a spirit beast of the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm. It looked like a rhinoceros, but for some reason, the large horn on its forehead was broken.

There were scorch marks on the broken surface, which did not look like they were caused by fire, but rather by lightning.

The rhinoceros spirit beast rushed toward the Thunder Eagle Tribe, laughing maniacally, "…Lei Guang is not here. Let's see what you will do this time! I will eat you, eat all of you!"

The crazed roars reached Lin Moyu's ears through the Great Sword Dao Venerable.

Lin Moyu sighed, "Not cute at all, far worse than Xiaoniu."

"It was indeed as the Thunder Eagle expected; some spirit beasts would indeed take this opportunity to come over."

"Since you've come, don't leave. Just kill it."

Thinking casually, Lin Moyu issued the command to kill to the Great Sword Dao Venerable.

The Great Sword Dao Venerable did not care who it was. As long as it was Lin Moyu's command, even if ordered to die immediately, it would not hesitate.

This unlucky spirit beast met with disaster before it could even charge into the tribe.

Within the tribe, a giant sword condensed, carrying terrifyingly boundless power as it slashed down, blotting out the sky. "No!"

Amidst its screams, the rhinoceros was slashed into fragments by the Great Sword Dao Venerable's sword, truly turning into ashes. Afterward, the Great Sword Dao Venerable entered slumber again, prioritizing not wasting time. Lin Moyu also chuckled softly, "Truly seeking death."

He continued to set up the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formations, his movements becoming increasingly proficient!

Chapter 2733: Yudao City Becomes a Haven

Since Lei Guang's departure, several spirit beasts had come to Taunt them, all of whom were slain by the Great Sword Dao Venerable.

This also made Lin Moyu realize that the world of spirit beasts was not peaceful either.

They had no power struggles; it was more naked, directly confronting each other in life-and-death struggles. Lei Guang and the old Thunder Eagle had grudges with them, so they had been keeping an eye out, looking for an opportunity.

Lei Guang and the old Thunder Eagle were relatively kind and had spared them in the past, but now they had encountered Lin Moyu.

In Lin Moyu's view, kindness was sometimes a sin.

Spending a full year, he finally finished setting up the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation group.

The moment the formation group was formed, heavenly thunder fell and earth fire gushed, with the heavenly thunder and earth fire intertwining.

The inside and outside of the formation group were severed into two worlds; the spirit beasts enclosed by the formation group could no longer leave, and the spirit beasts outside could not enter.

The formation group intertwined into a dome, coming into the sight of everyone in Yudao City.

Waves of powerful pressure poured down, making everyone feel as if a great mountain was pressing upon them. Some of the weaker individuals were already unable to move.

"What's happening?!"

"Heavenly thunder and earth fire, how terrifying!"
