Chapter 2297

From their eyes, it was clear that they hardly believed Lin Moyu's words.

Just then, the lake water suddenly boiled, sending up columns of water. Snowflakes drifted in the center of the lake, and an ice figure naturally formed.

The ice figure exuded a powerful aura, and a chilling blast rushed over them. Lin Moyu immediately knew that this ice figure was Elder Hanjiu.

Everyone greeted Star Lord Hanjiu. Having spent nearly ten thousand years together, they were clearly very familiar with each other and didn't need to be overly polite.

Star Lord Hanjiu looked at Lin Moyu, "Is it you who injured the Divine Pet?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Greetings, Star Lord. Indeed, this junior is the one who injured the Divine Pet."

*Gasp!*

Everyone's eyes widened. Lin Moyu was actually telling the truth.

He had actually injured the Divine Pet. Something none of them could achieve had actually been done by a Celestial Venerable.

Star Lord Hanjiu asked, "Can you tell us how you did it?"

Lin Moyu said, "It's simple. Just use the Power of Void."

Gu Luochuan's eyes lit up, "It's actually the Power of Void? How did we old fogies never think of that after all these years?"

Lu Shudao smiled bitterly, "It seems we all ran into a dead end. Having lived to this age, we actually forgot that there are two types of forces in this world: the void and the real."

Gu Luochuan sighed, "This is our limitation. We have been immersed in our own Great Daos for too long and have forgotten other things."

No one here was a fool. Once Lin Moyu pointed it out, they knew that it was indeed highly possible.

They had always thought they were too weak and their power wasn't strong enough. They had never considered that they were using the wrong method, straying onto a crooked path and going all the way down it.

Star Lord Hanjiu asked, "Did you borrow some kind of magic treasure of the Power of Void?"

Lin Moyu shook his head, "This junior has comprehended a Great Dao of Void, so I don't need to rely on magic treasures of the Power of Void."

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock once again.

"My goodness, a Celestial Venerable who achieved his realm through the Great Dao of Void."

"The Great Dao of Void is incredibly difficult. To become a Celestial Venerable through the Great Dao of Void at just over two thousand years old is absolutely unprecedented."

"I don't know about prehistoric times, but at least in the current Origin Continent, I've never heard of such a genius."

"It seems we are saved this time."

The Dao Venerables present all looked extremely delighted.

They realized they were saved and would not fall along with the Secret Realm. Since they could live, who would want to die?

Lin Moyu looked at Lu Shudao, "Senior Lu, you can take the great dao longevity pill now."

Lu Shudao did not refuse this time and swallowed the great dao longevity pill.

The great dao longevity pill immediately took effect, enveloping Lu Shudao in a faint glow that looked somewhat similar to divine light wood.

Lin Moyu could feel that Lu Shudao's damaged foundation was gradually recovering, and his aura was stabilizing.

The efficacy of the great dao longevity pill did not burst out all at once; it would last for a very long time.

Even after Lu Shudao's injuries were completely healed, the great dao longevity pill could still increase his lifespan. This pill was not only a sacred healing pill but also a sacred longevity-extending pill.

"For now, it seems even more miraculous than my Power of Life."

"But in the future… it's hard to say!"

Lin Moyu had confidence in his Undying Great Dao. In the future, the effect of his Power of Life would definitely not be weaker than the great dao longevity pill.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lu! Your Dao is restored, and your future is limitless."

"Fellow Daoist Lu possesses profound fortune; there will surely be greater blessings in the future."

"Once we eliminate the Divine Pet and leave this place, Fellow Daoist Lu will surely soar to the heavens and head straight for the Great Dao."

Everyone congratulated Lu Shudao one after another, and Lu Shudao was also extremely happy.

Lu Shudao expressed his heartfelt gratitude, "Thank you for your help, Young Friend Lin. Once I get out, I will surely reward you handsomely."

Lin Moyu joked, "Nothing else is needed, just return a great dao longevity pill to me." Lu Shudao immediately said, "Of course. How could one be enough?"

Lin Moyu's eyebrows twitched, "One is enough. If there are more, the Third Ancestor will be angry." Lu Shudao laughed heartily, "Don't worry, I'll handle the Third Ancestor's side."

After a round of congratulations, Lin Moyu looked at Star Lord Hanjiu, "Star Lord, next we can discuss how to kill the Divine Pet."

Star Lord Hanjiu said, "Previously, we suffered because we couldn't cause any damage to the Divine Pet. Now that you have found a way, only one question remains: how to trap it."

Star Lord Hanjiu had already seen the essence of the problem. In addition to being able to hurt the opponent, they also had to be able to trap them.

After all, Lin Moyu's realm was still too low. Unless the Divine Pet stood still and let him attack, it would be impossible to kill it.

The Divine Pet's speed was too fast. If it avoided Lin Moyu, it would be extremely difficult to kill.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and said, "As long as you can trap it for five minutes, I am confident I can kill it."

"By my strength alone, I cannot trap it. However, I have a way. As long as everyone is willing to trust this junior, we might be able to trap it."

Chapter 2849: Found It, Follow Me!

Lu Shudao was the first to express that they could fully trust Lin Moyu.

After he expressed his support, the others also declared one after another that they were willing to trust Lin Moyu.

Star Lord Hanjiu said, "I naturally trust you, but you must tell us the specific method."

Lin Moyu said, "The method is simple. Just follow my command when the time comes. Because the battle is constantly changing, we need to adapt in real-time."

"This junior will refine a formation. Through this formation, my thoughts can be transmitted to all of you seniors instantly, which is faster than verbal commands."

"This junior will assign numbers to all of you seniors. Counting Star Lord Hanjiu, there are thirty-two people here in total. I will refer to you as Numbers One through Thirty-Two."

Lin Moyu did not explain the plan in too much detail, and everyone understood that they indeed needed to adapt to circumstances.

Lin Moyu compared himself to a commander and treated them as his subordinates.

However, as long as they could kill the Divine Pet, none of these people minded. Being subordinates was no big deal.

Everyone pondered for a moment, and once again, Lu Shudao was the first to state, "I am willing to follow Young Friend Lin's arrangements."

With him taking the lead, the others also expressed their willingness to follow Lin Moyu's arrangements.

They all knew Lu Shudao's character over these past thousands of years, so everyone was willing to give him face.

Star Lord Hanjiu also indicated that there was no problem and he could temporarily follow Lin Moyu's arrangements.

Lin Moyu said, "There is one thing I must state beforehand. Although we are confident in surrounding and killing the Divine Pet, unexpected events might still occur…"

"…and danger will definitely exist."

"Seniors, you must completely obey my commands. There must not be a single mistake."

"The Divine Pet is currently injured. Its combat power is not much stronger than yours, so it will be impossible for it to kill any of you in a short amount of time."

Lin Moyu stated some of his requirements. Killing the Divine Pet was no easy task and required strict coordination.

If even one of these Dao Venerable 7th Realm experts disobeyed, it could cause the entire surrounding and killing plan to fail at the final step.

Everyone expressed that they would absolutely obey Lin Moyu's orders.

Having been trapped in the Secret Realm for nearly ten thousand years and watching their former companions and comrades die one by one…

They had originally thought they would perish along with the Secret Realm. Now that hope had suddenly appeared, they naturally would not let it go.

After stating his requirements, Lin Moyu asked Star Lord Hanjiu about the various changes in the Divine Pet over the past thousand years.

By analyzing the opponent's behavioral patterns from their repeated battles with the Divine Pet, he could further refine his plan.

Back then, when the three Star Lords surrounded and attacked the Divine Pet, its combat power was still above the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable.

Even with all their strength, the three Star Lords were no match for the Divine Pet. They could only barely fight against it, and each of them was heavily injured. Although their attacks were ineffective against the Divine Pet, its old injuries relapsed and its combat power was greatly damaged through the repeated battles and clashes.

The three Star Lords took the opportunity to concentrate all their power at the cost of their lives to construct the Secret Realm, trapping the Divine Pet and continuously wearing down its strength.

Utilizing the Secret Realm, the three Star Lords trapped the Divine Pet for many years.

Later, the Divine Pet had an outburst, tearing a rift in the Secret Realm, intending to use the opportunity to escape.

Star Lord Hanjiu fought with all his might to prevent the Divine Pet from escaping.

Once the Divine Pet escaped, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

It was also at this time that the Secret Realm was revealed to the world and discovered by several ancestors of the Origin Continent.

Sensing the powerful aura leaking from the Secret Realm, several ancestors thought there was a great treasure inside, so they organized people to enter and search for it.

In the end, no treasure was found, and instead, Lu Shudao and the others became trapped inside.

The first few batches of people who entered numbered over a hundred, resulting in heavy casualties.

However, they did not die in vain. Through their battles with the Divine Pet, they further weakened its power.

Currently, the Divine Pet's strength was slightly higher than the Dao Venerable 7th Realm, which was actually inferior to Star Lord Hanjiu's.

It was only because Star Lord Hanjiu had never been able to find a way to deal with the Divine Pet that they had remained in a stalemate.

Through this conversation, Lin Moyu understood the whole story.

He also analyzed the Divine Pet's behavioral patterns. This fellow was indeed a pet; it had some intelligence, but it wasn't very high.

It did not use any tactics and acted purely on instinct in most situations.

Over the years, it had been hunted by Star Lord Hanjiu, but relying on its extremely fast speed, it had escaped death time and again.

It wasn't afraid of Star Lord Hanjiu's attacks, but it knew that if Star Lord Hanjiu was fully prepared, there was a chance he could trap it.

Therefore, it had to flee, and during its escape, it was constantly looking for opportunities to recover.

Once it recovered to its peak, it would be able to kill Star Lord Hanjiu.

Star Lord Hanjiu asked, "Well? What are the chances of success?"

Everyone present also awaited Lin Moyu's answer.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "If nothing unexpected happens, I have a ninety percent confidence."

Everyone's eyes lit up. Ninety percent was almost a guarantee of success.

Star Lord Hanjiu asked, "What if an accident happens?"

Lin Moyu said, "If an accident happens, we will just surround it again. As long as you seniors can follow my instructions, you should not be in any danger."

Star Lord Hanjiu nodded slightly, "Then let's do that. I will go find it first. Young friend, refine the formation plates and get ready."

Star Lord Hanjiu's figure transformed into green water and re-entered the lake.

Lin Moyu then took out thirty-three origin crystals. Using himself as the eye of the formation, he began to set up the formation with the thirty-three origin crystals.

The formation was very simple and not complex at all. In the blink of an eye, it was already set up.

In terms of rank, this formation was only a second-rank formation.

A formation did not necessarily have to be of the highest rank; the most important thing was its practicality.

Subsequently, Lin Moyu began to draw runes. Although it was only a second-rank formation, he still adopted the method of combining an Artifact Array and a Rune Array.

The origin crystals used were also just the most ordinary third-rank origin crystals. Lin Moyu integrated runes into the formation one by one, and the origin crystals acting as nodes gradually underwent changes. They were refined by the formation and turned into individual tokens.

Once all thirty-three tokens were refined, Lin Moyu waved his hand and threw them to everyone.

These thirty-three tokens were identical except for the differences in their numbers.

The one he kept for himself was Token Number 0, and the one prepared for Star Lord Hanjiu was Token Number 1. The others were numbered from 2 to 32 respectively.

They refined the tokens one after another. In this battle, they had no names, only numbers.

After testing, Lin Moyu's thoughts could be directly transmitted to everyone's minds through the tokens.

This was a few moments faster than verbal commands.

Dealing with the Divine Pet was a race against time; even a difference of 0.01 seconds could lead to worlds of difference.

Through the previous conversation, Lin Moyu already knew the Great Dao and strength of each Dao Venerable, what they excelled at, what their signature spells were, and what powerful magic treasures they possessed. He had everything clearly mapped out in his mind.

Everything was ready, waiting only for Star Lord Hanjiu to find the Divine Pet's whereabouts.

It was clear that everyone was somewhat excited and thrilled at this moment, but also a bit nervous.

The Divine Pet was too powerful. Even though they were all old monsters, they were still very nervous.

Only Lin Moyu remained completely unfazed, quietly waiting.
