Chapter 2256

"I feel that after the Heavenly Pride Tournament, there must be other things to do, and that matter requires the support of fortune."

"That matter should be quite difficult. The Heavenly Pride Tournament has been held for so many years without changing locations, which shows that this matter has never been accomplished."

"The thing that needs to be done should be not far from Shang City, or rather, it is right here in Shang City, so in order to maintain the fortune without it fading, the location cannot be changed."

Speaking to this point, Lin Moyu stopped.

The Third Ancestor waited a while, and seeing that Lin Moyu didn't speak, he couldn't help but urge, "Don't stop. I know you have other guesses, say them all out."

Lin Moyu said helplessly, "What follows is truly just a wild guess. If I guess wrong, please don't laugh at me, and if I happen to guess right, please don't silence me."

"I guessed that there must be something behind the Heavenly Pride Tournament, and subsequently, I thought about what that matter could be."

"For the Heavenly Pride Tournament to form its current scale, with all forces in the Southern Continent participating, there must be a driving force behind it."

"Those capable of being the driving force are nothing more than existences like you, and relying on you alone isn't enough. I estimate that all nine top forces of the Southern Continent are involved."

"Then I continued to deduce further. To be able to make so many top experts from top forces participate, and for it to continue for so many years, it shows that this matter is truly very big."

"This matter is certainly not related to the growth of the Heavenly Prides. Although they are important, they haven't reached that level yet."

"Then it can be inferred that this matter must be related to you."

"If I haven't guessed wrong, this matter should concern what is above the Dao Venerable Realm, and concern how you break through the Dao Venerable Realm."

While speaking, Lin Moyu had been observing the changes in the Third Ancestor's expression and found that the Third Ancestor's expression was still normal.

As long as there was the slightest hint of abnormality, he definitely would not continue talking.

The Third Ancestor was listening with great interest when Lin Moyu suddenly stopped again. The Third Ancestor frowned and said, "Why did you stop again? Continue."

Chapter 2784: Let's Go, We're Going In

Lin Moyu shrugged and spread his hands, "I'm done."

The Third Ancestor said, "Done my ass. Speak quickly, what is your view on what is above the Dao Venerable Realm?"

Lin Moyu said, "You are overestimating this junior too much; this junior hasn't even reached the Dao Venerable Realm yet."

The Third Ancestor looked as if he didn't believe a word of it, "Speak, speak. Even if it's nonsense, you have to make something up for me."

Lin Moyu looked at the Third Ancestor's appearance; if he didn't say something today, he was afraid he wouldn't be allowed to leave.

With a little helplessness, he said, "Then I'll make it up. Just listen to it as a story, okay?"

"When this junior became the Son of Taiyin, I seemed to have seen some things."

"It seems that above the Origin Continent, there is a world similar to a starry sky."

"And above the starry sky, there are brilliant Great Daos. Within the Great Daos, there are living beings, including humans, demons, and the Buddhist Clan."

"I can feel that these living beings are very strong; they seem to have merged with the Great Dao, and are much stronger than a Dao Venerable."

While speaking, Lin Moyu continued to observe the changes in the Third Ancestor's expression. When mentioning the Great Daos in the starry sky, a trace of yearning appeared on the Third Ancestor's expression, and within that yearning, there was also a hint of nostalgia.

"Could it be that the Third Ancestor has been there?"

"Or is it that the Third Ancestor has seen it before and wants to go there?"

While guessing in his heart, Lin Moyu continued, "Besides the living beings in the Great Daos, I saw several powerful existences on some of the Great Daos."

"The feeling they gave me was not like they were living beings within the Great Dao, but rather more like the masters of the Great Dao."

The Third Ancestor suddenly murmured, "Dao Master…"

His voice was very soft, so soft that Lin Moyu couldn't hear it clearly.

Lin Moyu asked, "Third Ancestor, what did you say?"

The Third Ancestor shook his head slightly, "Nothing, continue."

Lin Moyu said, "That's all. That experience was just like a dream; I don't know if it was real or fake. You can just treat it as me talking nonsense."

The Third Ancestor pondered, "You were not dreaming. It should be the Lunar Origin that took you and let you see some real things."

"However, these things are still too early for you. Even if you saw them, they aren't of much use."

Lin Moyu nodded slightly, "I understand."

He certainly knew he wasn't dreaming; what he saw with his own eyes was not false.

At the same time, he was also very clear that those things were too far away from him and were not something he could touch.

Judging solely from the realm, he was still some distance away from the Dao Venerable Realm.

The Origin Continent has strict hierarchy; if your realm isn't high enough, no matter how strong your combat power is, some things cannot be changed.

The Third Ancestor said, "Think carefully again, did you see how many people were standing above the Great Dao?"

Lin Moyu recalled carefully, "Not many, no more than ten people."

The Third Ancestor continued to ask, "Then can you distinguish which Great Daos they are?"

Lin Moyu told the truth, "This junior's realm is not high enough; it is difficult to distinguish."

At that time, he did indeed see the Great Daos, but he truly couldn't distinguish which Great Daos they were.

The Third Ancestor sighed, "Alright, you have said so much, and this old man cannot treat you unfairly. I grant you a promise; you can ask me to do one thing for you. As long as it is within my ability, I will agree."

Lin Moyu's eyes lit up, "It just so happens that this junior does have something."

The Third Ancestor said, "No need to be in such a rush, think it through before saying it. Do not waste my promise easily."

Lin Moyu said, "This junior is short-sighted; I cannot think of things too far away, nor do I want to. It's better to be practical with things I can see and touch right now."

The Third Ancestor scrutinized Lin Moyu. He knew very well that for a little fox like Lin Moyu, how could he possibly be short-sighted?

"Since you have said so, then speak. What is the matter?"

Lin Moyu took out a buddhist bead covered in cracks, "Please, Third Ancestor, help me remove the soul imprint on it."

The Third Ancestor took the buddhist beads, sensed it slightly, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise, "This is, the beads of the Three-Pupil Zizai Buddha?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Third Ancestor has good eyes. This junior obtained this bead by chance. It has the soul imprint of the Three-Pupil Zizai Buddha, and this junior has limited ability and cannot remove it."

The Third Ancestor said, "This old man is very curious, after removing the soul imprint, what use do you have for it?"

Lin Moyu said, "This junior has my own uses. I wonder if the Third Ancestor can remove the imprint?"

The Third Ancestor said, "If he had left the soul imprint after becoming a Zizai Buddha, it would be a bit troublesome for me to erase it."

"Fortunately, the soul imprint on this bead was left before he became a Zizai Buddha, so it is not difficult to remove."

"Since you refuse to say what use it has, this old man will not pursue it. Now, I will ask one more question: are you sure you want to use up this promise like this?"

"Actually, there are quite a few people who can do this, for example, that old guy Xiahou Yuan can also do it."

Lin Moyu said, "This junior understands, but favors are hard to repay."

The Third Ancestor did not try to persuade him further. The buddhist bead flew up from his palm, and a powerful soul force shot out from the Third Ancestor's brow.

Lin Moyu felt the entire space distort, and time became chaotic in the face of this soul force.

"So strong!" Lin Moyu trembled in his heart. This soul force of the Third Ancestor was even stronger than that of Daoist Tianlei.

Daoist Tianlei is in the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable and once attempted to break through to the realm above the Dao Venerable Realm.

Although he failed, his soul force was already stronger than other Dao Venerables of the same realm.

But right now, the Third Ancestor's soul force didn't seem to be the slightest bit weaker than Daoist Tianlei's.

"Could it be that the Third Ancestor also once attempted to break through to the realm above the Dao Venerable Realm?"

The Third Ancestor's soul force wrapped around the buddhist bead. After lasting for a few seconds, a soft sound rang out from the buddhist bead.

"Amitabha!"

The sound of the Buddha's name rang out, and a phantom of a Buddha appeared above the buddhist bead.

The Third Ancestor snorted lightly, with disdain, "A mere trace of a soul imprint, and you dare to bluff!"

With a shock of soul force, the Buddha phantom shattered on the spot. Another crack appeared on the buddhist bead, running through the entire bead, which was almost about to shatter.

The Third Ancestor threw the buddhist bead back to Lin Moyu, "The soul imprint has been erased. I don't know what use you have for this thing."

Lin Moyu felt the aura remaining on the buddhist bead. Although the soul imprint was gone, it still retained a strong aura of the Buddhist Clan. The buddhist bead was still a rare magic treasure of the Buddhist Clan.

Lin Moyu put away the buddhist bead, "Many thanks, Third Ancestor. I wonder why the Third Ancestor called this junior over this time?"

Lin Moyu naturally wouldn't believe that the Third Ancestor called him over just to chat and ask about his guesses.

The Third Ancestor said, "Seeing your expression in the tournament earlier, this old man knew that you must have already guessed the intention behind the tournament."

"You guessed correctly. After the Heavenly Pride Tournament, there is indeed something to do. I called you here for this matter."

Lin Moyu was curious in his heart, what exactly is the matter?

The Third Ancestor said to the void, "Xiao Lian, open the passage."

Lu Lian's voice followed, "Okay!"

In Shang City, Lu Lian is the Great Steward, ubiquitous and available whenever called.

Lin Moyu felt that space was being distorted, and a portal was outlined. On the other side of the portal, a massive and pure Power of Origin rushed out.

The Third Ancestor waved his hand, evolving an avatar, "Let's go, let's go in."

Chapter 2785: One of the Five Ninth-Rank origin spirit veins

A short teleportation seemed to take only an instant.

Judging from the time, the teleportation distance was extremely short.

But whether it was really short, Lin Moyu could not correctly judge.

The time during the teleportation was chaotic; in fact, time in the Third Ancestor's place is chaotic.

Using ordinary methods to judge, it would certainly not be correct.

An extremely rich Power of Origin rushed towards him. Lin Moyu felt that even his soul was impacted, having a feeling of floating like an immortal.

"An origin spirit vein, and it's a very high-level origin spirit vein."

"Not just eighth-rank, is it a ninth-rank origin spirit vein?"

"Lufeng Chamber of Commerce actually possesses a ninth-rank origin spirit vein."

In the Origin Continent, there hasn't been a ninth-rank origin spirit vein for a long time.

For a million years, the nine top forces of the Southern Continent have all been pursuing ninth-rank origin spirit veins, but none have succeeded.

No one knows why this is the case.

Lin Moyu also learned through a large amount of information he purchased that the nine top forces currently possess eighth-rank origin spirit veins.

In Thunder Mountain, what Daoist Tianlei possesses is also an eighth-rank origin spirit vein.

It seems to have the momentum to advance to the ninth rank, but when it will actually advance is still unknown.

Unexpectedly, today he suddenly discovered that the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce actually possesses a ninth-rank origin spirit vein. How could he not be surprised?

The Third Ancestor's voice rang in his ears, "How is it? Are you very surprised?"

"In the entire Origin Continent, there are only five ninth-rank origin spirit veins left, and this is one of them."

"Feel it carefully and remember its aura; it might be useful in the future."

Lin Moyu asked, "Are there only five left? Where are the other four origin spirit veins?"

The Third Ancestor said, "Among the remaining four, two are in the Eastern Continent. One is controlled by the Demon Clan Imperial Court, and the other is controlled by the Dongling Empire."

"The other two are not in the Eastern Continent; they are in the hands of the King of the Boundary Sea and the Dragon Clan, respectively."

Lin Moyu asked curiously, "Isn't it said that spirit beasts don't need origin spirit veins?"

The Third Ancestor laughed, "Needing and possessing are two different things."

That is indeed the truth; needing is needing, possessing is possessing, and they do not conflict.

Lin Moyu asked again, "It is said that there are many origin spirit veins in the Boundary Sea, and there are many eighth-rank origin spirit veins. Why is there only one ninth-rank origin spirit vein?"

The Third Ancestor said, "What you actually want to ask is why there are so few ninth-rank origin spirit veins on the Origin Continent."

Lin Moyu was silent and did not answer.

The Third Ancestor continued, "The matter regarding the ninth-rank origin spirit veins is too far back in the past, so let's not talk about it. You just need to know that there are only five ninth-rank origin spirit veins left. While it's not impossible to get another one, it is truly too difficult."

Lin Moyu naturally understood that if it were simple, the major top forces wouldn't have failed after working so hard for so many years.

Feeling the aura of the origin spirit vein, he pondered slightly, "If this junior hasn't guessed wrong, to advance to the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable, one needs the support of a ninth-rank origin spirit vein."

Since arriving here, the Third Ancestor had been searching for the direction. At this moment, he finally found the correct direction, "Let's go, let's talk while we walk."

The Third Ancestor stepped forward, and Lin Moyu immediately followed.

The place was shrouded in mist, and one could barely see their own fingers. Even with Lin Moyu's eyesight, he could only see about one meter ahead.
