Chapter 2292
If one can withstand it, they can enter the next area.
In Lin Moyu's view, the danger level of the Star Wind Secret Realm was even greater than that of the God-Slaughtering Sect.
In truth, the God-Slaughtering Sect held no real danger; at most, one would simply gain nothing.
There must have been an agreement between the Three Ancestors and Sect Master Tu; the God-Slaughtering Sect was more of a place for training, and it was also where the Three Ancestors had laid their plans.
Lin Moyu did not know why the Three Ancestors did this, or what exactly they were aiming for after laying out plans for so many years.
However, Lin Moyu could be certain that the Three Ancestors must have had their own objectives, including the task they wanted him to perform.
Compared to the God-Slaughtering Sect, the Star Wind Secret Realm was far more dangerous.
The pressure grew increasingly intense, yet Lin Moyu's expression remained indifferent.
Great Sword Dao Venerable slowly flew up and blocked the path in front of Lin Moyu.
Swish!
An arrow flew out, lighting up the night sky as if it were day.
At that moment, Lin Moyu felt as if a star were falling, intending to crush him into powder.
He had the illusion that his Great Dao, his physical body, and his soul were all about to be shattered.
This arrow did not rely on speed; it was pure power crushing down.
Great Sword Dao Venerable waved his hand, and a giant sword appeared in response, colliding with the arrow.
Like stars colliding, the arrow erupted with brilliant light and exploded with a boom.
However, Lin Moyu frowned; he felt himself being targeted by Dao Enemy Locking, as an incredibly sharp aura shot toward him.
In his line of sight, a beam of light pierced through the explosion and shot toward him.
Great Sword Dao Venerable struck again, but the beam of light suddenly accelerated, evading his blockade.
This arrow was the true protagonist; it first used force to suppress, and then hid a second wave of attacks.
Lin Moyu did not panic; his Great Dao rumbled and vibrated, directly dispelling the power of the Dao that had locked onto him.
In an instant, the fierce arrow lost its target and stopped motionless in mid-air.
It revealed its true form: an arrow of gold and silver.
Lin Moyu reached out and grasped the arrow. "As expected, it has the same aura as my broken arrow fragment."
"It is indeed the magical treasure of Star Lord Luoxing. Since the Star Lord's treasure is damaged here, it seems Star Lord Luoxing truly fell in this place."
"I wonder if this arrow can be fused with the Star Arrow Lich; it should be possible."
A few seconds after Lin Moyu grasped the arrow, a fierce wind whipped up, creating a humming sound.
In the pitch-black night sky, the broken bow bloomed with intense light once more, and a majestic middle-aged man appeared.
He had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and his gaze was incredibly sharp; being watched by him, Lin Moyu even felt a slight stinging sensation on his skin.
"Little fellow, you are quite good!" The middle-aged man's voice was gentle and very kind.
"Junior Lin Moyu pays respects to Star Lord Luoxing."
Lin Moyu bowed respectfully; he knew the other party's identity as a Remnant Soul of Star Lord Luoxing.
By now, Lin Moyu was completely certain that Star Lord Luoxing had fallen.
Star Lord Luoxing sighed softly. "There is no need for such formalities. I am only a Remnant Soul, and I am no longer a Star Lord."
Lin Moyu said, "Although I do not know why you fell, you once attained the position of Star Lord and are a senior of our human race. You are worthy of my respects."
Star Lord Luoxing chuckled. "Little fellow, you are quite good. Let me ask you first: are you willing to accept my inheritance?"
Lin Moyu shook his head. "I appreciate your kindness, Senior, but unfortunately, I have other ambitions."
Star Lord Luoxing's voice remained gentle. "That is true. With your talent, the position of Star Lord is not worthy of you."
Chapter 2841: My Personality is Somewhat Stubborn
Star Lords are very strong, especially those representing the twenty-eight constellations on the Origin Continent; every one of them is a peak powerhouse.
However, becoming a Star Lord is very difficult. Although the positions of Star Lords are not fixed, since ancient times, the positions of the twenty-eight strongest Star Lords have never changed.
Later, some new Star Lords were born, but none could reach the heights of the twenty-eight Star Lords.
Star Lord Luoxing was one of the twenty-eight Star Lords, belonging to the top tier, on par with Star Lord Jiaojiao.
In the Origin Continent, countless people dream of obtaining his inheritance and becoming the new generation of Star Lord Luoxing.
But now, Star Lord Luoxing actually said that his own position as a Star Lord was not worthy of Lin Moyu.
At this moment, Lin Moyu felt a bit awkward and couldn't help but ask, "Do you think so highly of me?"
Lin Moyu said very humbly, "You flatter me. I am merely a Heavenly Venerable. Although I have ambitions, the Great Dao is not yet achieved. Perhaps one day I will regret it and want the position of Star Lord after all."
Star Lord Luoxing suddenly laughed heartily. "Well said. You can advance courageously, but you also know when to rein in your horse at the precipice. You are even more outstanding than I thought."
"A genius like you who can grasp Dao Enemy Locking while in the Heavenly Venerable Realm is truly rare."
"Perhaps you will achieve the Great Dao in the future; if that doesn't work, it won't be too late to seek other methods."
"However, I am still a bit unwilling. After so many years, I finally waited for someone I could approve of, yet it turned out like this."
Lin Moyu did not stand on ceremony. "If you don't mind, Senior, you can hand the Star Lord inheritance to me. I can find a suitable candidate for you, and I will definitely not disgrace your inheritance."
"If I cannot find anyone, or if I find myself with no path forward, I can also use it."
Star Lord Luoxing laughed and scolded, "You rascal, you are treating my inheritance as a backup plan."
Lin Moyu spoke the truth. "Star Lord should be able to sense that I am very sincere."
Star Lord Luoxing looked at Lin Moyu, saying nothing.
Lin Moyu's gaze was clear and bright; everything he had said before was the truth.
This was indeed what he thought; he was willing to find a suitable successor for Star Lord Luoxing.
At the same time, he was also gambling, gambling that Star Lord Luoxing would trust him.
After all, this Origin Secret Realm was about to collapse, and by then, Star Lord Luoxing's inheritance would be completely extinguished in the long river of history.
The twenty-eight constellations of the Origin Continent would also become twenty-seven.
A moment later, Star Lord Luoxing sighed. "It seems this is the only way."
Star Lord Luoxing knew very well what would happen to the Secret Realm next; after much consideration, he made his final decision.
From his gaze, Lin Moyu could feel that he still wanted him to become his successor.
However, he also knew that there would be no benefit to him, and he would not agree to it.
What he wanted to pursue was the Great Dao, not the position of Star Lord.
In the past, Lin Moyu did not understand what the position of Star Lord meant; he only knew that Star Lords were high and mighty, the top power in the Origin Continent.
Later, he obtained a large amount of information, and after the Human Emperor organized it, he finally understood the true meaning of the Star Lord position.
Those who had reached the Seventh Realm of the Great Dao but saw no hope of breaking through eventually became Star Lords.
The weakest Star Lord is equivalent to a powerhouse of the Seventh Realm of the Great Dao.
And Star Lords like the twenty-eight constellations are on par with the Dao Nine Realm.
Furthermore, Star Lords have another advantage: although their combat power is equivalent to that of the Dao Venerable Realm, they have transcended the Origin Continent and are closer to the Great Dao.
Influenced by the power of the Great Dao, the lifespan of Star Lords far exceeds that of ordinary Dao Venerables.
For a top-tier Star Lord like Star Lord Luoxing, living for three million years is absolutely no problem.
And those in the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable have far less lifespan than him, unless they use special means like self-sealing.
That is merely drinking poison to quench thirst; Star Lord Luoxing could maintain peak combat power throughout his three million years of life.
As for Dao Venerables, in their final days, they dare not act easily; the more power they consume, the more it severely affects their lifespan.
Lifespan is the advantage of Star Lords, but Dao Venerables still have the Great Dao to walk ahead, whereas Star Lords have no path forward; this is their disadvantage.
A person like Lin Moyu who wants to pursue the Great Dao naturally does not want to become a Star Lord.
Star Lord Luoxing tapped his finger, and the broken bow flew before Lin Moyu. "This is my Star Lord inheritance treasure, the falling star bow."
"However, it is damaged. If you have the opportunity, you can repair it."
Lin Moyu asked, "Understood. I wonder how to repair it."
Star Lord Luoxing said, "You can repair it using treasures containing the Power of Origin of the Sun or treasures containing the Power of Origin of the Moon."
Lin Moyu thought for a moment and flipped his hand to take out a Sun Stone. "Can I use this?"
Star Lord Luoxing's eyes lit up. "A Sun Stone? Yes, that works. Just place the two together, and the falling star bow will naturally absorb the Sun Stone and repair itself."
"I did not expect that you, young friend, could even obtain a Sun Stone. You are truly blessed with deep fortune."
Lin Moyu did not hesitate and immediately placed the two together. The falling star bow bloomed with a gentle light, enveloping the Sun Stone.
Lin Moyu could feel the Sun Stone becoming soft, slowly melting, and merging into the falling star bow.
The originally broken falling star bow began to slowly recover.
The entire process was very slow and would take some time.
Lin Moyu watched for a while and sighed. "This is truly magical."
Star Lord Luoxing said, "All Star Lord treasures come from the Sun Origin and the Lunar Origin. The Sun Stone also comes from the Sun Origin; the two are of the same root and origin, so they can fuse with each other."
"My inheritance as a Star Lord is within the falling star bow. If you, young friend, find a suitable candidate, please help me pass on the inheritance."
Lin Moyu nodded. "Rest assured, Senior, I will search for one with care."
He thought of Dao Venerable Jiang Ruoxue of the Jiang Family in Fuyou City. Back then, he had promised Dao Venerable Jiang Ruoxue that if he obtained the inheritance of Star Lord Luoxing, he would copy a version for them and give them priority in purchasing the falling star bow.
He would naturally do what he had promised, but Lin Moyu also had to check the situation of the Jiang Family to see if there was anyone in the Jiang Family suitable for this inheritance.
If there was not, he would naturally not give it away easily.
This was not breaking his word; his promise did not specify a time.
The current Jiang Family having no suitable candidate did not mean they would not have one in the future; he could wait, there was no rush.
He had only promised to give them priority to purchase the falling star bow, but he had no intention of selling it right now, so naturally, it did not count as breaking his word.
That was the fact of the matter; Lin Moyu always left himself a way out when speaking and rarely spoke in absolute terms.
Just like promising Star Lord Luoxing now, all his promises were true and would certainly be fulfilled, but the initiative for how to specifically do so remained in his own hands.
After Star Lord Luoxing handed the inheritance to Lin Moyu, he seemed to heave a sigh of relief, as if his mission had been completed.
He looked around at this world. "There is nothing left worth lingering over."
He had died long ago; his Remnant Soul did not know how many years it had existed, remaining until now solely to ensure the inheritance would not go extinct.
Lin Moyu said, "Senior, can you tell me why you fell?"
Star Lord Luoxing chuckled softly. "Some things are actually not important to know."
"Once this Origin Secret Realm collapses, everything related to this place will be completely destroyed."
Lin Moyu shook his head. "That is not the case. Perhaps for you, Senior, everything has ended, but for me, it has not."
"I have a good friend whose father was trapped here."
"Perhaps he is dead, perhaps he is still alive. I promised that friend that I would exhaust every means to find her father—I must see the person if alive, or the corpse if dead."
"My personality is somewhat stubborn; once I promise someone something, I will definitely find a way to do it."
Chapter 2842: That is Your Dao, I Will Not Stop You
The latter half of Lin Moyu's words was actually spoken for Star Lord Luoxing to hear.
He was telling Star Lord Luoxing that he would exhaust every means to complete what he had promised others, and even if there were dangers, he would not easily retreat.
Hearing this, a faint light flickered in Star Lord Luoxing's eyes, and he sighed softly. "Very well then."
"This Origin Secret Realm was constructed by me, Star Lord Hanjiu, and Star Lord Erfeng, by fusing the Star Lord power we cultivated throughout our lives."
"Its purpose was to trap and kill an enemy."
Lin Moyu was shocked. Star Lord Hanjiu and Star Lord Erfeng were both among the twenty-eight constellations and were top-tier Star Lords.
Each was no worse than a powerhouse of the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable. What kind of enemy would require the three of them to join forces to trap and kill?
Lin Moyu immediately thought of two possibilities. "Was the enemy of the Great Dao Realm? Or an Outer Domain Celestial God!"
Star Lord Luoxing said, "It seems you know quite a bit. Since that is the case, it is easier to talk."
"It was not a powerhouse of the Great Dao Realm; even if the three of us risked our lives, we could not trap such an existence."
"Nor was it an Outer Domain Celestial God. Outer Domain Celestial Gods are no weaker than those of the Great Dao Realm and are likewise not something we can deal with."
"What the three of us joined forces to trap was merely a pet of an Outer Domain Celestial God, also called a Divine Pet."
"It was also this Divine Pet that caused the three of us to fall here."
When Star Lord Luoxing said this, there was a hint of bitterness in his tone.
Lin Moyu was stunned on the spot. He could understand that the Great Dao Realm and Outer Domain Celestial Gods were very strong.
In the past, the God-Slaughtering Sect was still called the Tu Family Village; it was because they slaughtered an Outer Domain Celestial God that they changed their name to the God-Slaughtering Sect.
One could imagine how difficult it was to kill an Outer Domain Celestial God; they were no less formidable than powerhouses of the Great Dao Realm.
Yet, he could never have imagined that merely a pet of an Outer Domain Celestial God could cause three top-tier Star Lords to fall here.
Star Lord Luoxing continued to speak, and the words that followed made Lin Moyu even more astonished.
Lin Moyu even had the illusion that he might have heard wrong.
