Chapter 2384

The six newly added Dao Patterns increased the overall power of the Bone Hell by one realm.

It was a pity that the Gate of Hell did not change much.

Lin Moyu knew that to make the Gate of Hell change, perhaps only origin spirit veins and hell fragments could do it; relying solely on Dao Patterns was not enough.

The current changes were already enough to satisfy Lin Moyu.

Of the fifty-two Dao Patterns, fifty had been used, leaving two in reserve.

Lin Moyu pondered over this trip to the Secret Realm, conducting a review.

This trip to the Secret Realm was incredibly successful, with fruitful gains.

He had slain the Outer Domain Celestial God, obtained the Great Dao reward, and pushed his number of Dao Patterns to fifty-two.

With two more, he could advance to the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm.

He had also successfully obtained over a hundred ice-fire dao stones, using them to temper his soul, allowing his soul to reach the Dao Venerable 4th Realm and clearing the path for his own advancement to the Dao Venerable 4th Realm.

And most importantly, [Infinite Fusion] had allowed his techniques to fuse, granting him two powerful techniques.

Without any change in his realm, his combat power had increased significantly.

There were still over twenty days until he left the Secret Realm, and Lin Moyu did not want to go anywhere else; he was contemplating the cause of the entire Secret Realm's formation.

Few people would think about this question; average people entered the Secret Realm, went in, and then looked for treasures.

As for why the Secret Realm was formed, very few would think about it; only those truly standing at the peak could genuinely ponder this question.

They sought the root of the Great Dao, analyzed it from the source, and ultimately obtained the truth.

Lin Moyu liked to think and was good at thinking; whenever he encountered things, he sought the root cause, wanting to know why things were the way they were.

This time was no different; Lin Moyu connected the situation of the entire Secret Realm and analyzed the cause and effect.

The initial reason for the formation of the Secret Realm was naturally Red Fire and Lan Shan, two Great Dao Realm experts, dealing with the Outer Domain Celestial God simultaneously.

This Outer Domain Celestial God with two pairs of wings was extremely powerful; even if Red Fire and Lan Shan joined forces, they could not kill it.

Regardless of the reason, like many other Great Dao Realm experts, they used their own lives as the price to weave a grand formation, eternally trapping this Outer Domain Celestial God.

Furthermore, to prevent outsiders from arriving and damaging the formation, they hid the Outer Domain Celestial God in a very deep space.

At the same time, they held a glimmer of hope for the future, hoping that someone could arrive and kill the Outer Domain Celestial God.

Therefore, they did not block the path completely but left a road that could be entered.

This path was very difficult, but if one could enter, it meant they possessed extremely strong power.

They had long ago established a wish, leaving a glimmer of hope for themselves; if someone could kill the Outer Domain Celestial God, they could use the Great Dao reward to resurrect.

Therefore, they left their corpses here and voluntarily sent them into the Outer Domain Celestial God's Soul World.

Using their own corpses to connect with the formation, they sealed the Outer Domain Celestial God's soul.

Facts proved that their choice was correct.

In the end, Lin Moyu came, and the Outer Domain Celestial God wanted to use Lin Moyu's hand to help it break free from the formation's restraints and escape.

But similarly, Red Fire and Lan Shan also wanted to use Lin Moyu's hand to kill the Outer Domain Celestial God.

As a result, Red Fire and Lan Shan won the gamble.

Thinking of this, Lin Moyu was suddenly stunned; he realized one thing, he had thought wrong: "No, there is a problem here!"

Lin Moyu's thoughts were like lightning, quickly flying back to the first time he encountered the Divine Pet.

The scenes and events that followed all flashed before his eyes one by one.

He had killed more than one Outer Domain Celestial God and encountered more than one Great Dao Realm expert.

Whether it was Jin Lei, the sea clan's Elder Whale, or this time's Red Fire and Lan Shan.

Although they did not say it explicitly, without exception, they all believed in one thing: that someone could, at some point in the future, kill the Outer Domain Celestial God and bring them a glimmer of hope for survival.

Jin Lei's choice was indeed wrong, leading to the end of his death and disappearance, but his persistence, while helpless, also revealed a glimmer of hope.

The key to the problem was where this glimmer of hope came from.

Lin Moyu felt that someone must have told them that as long as they persisted, there would be hope.

And the existence that told them there was hope must be extremely powerful, a Dao Master, or perhaps the Great Dao itself.

Therefore, these Great Dao Realm experts were willing to persist. To them, life was infinite, so they did not want to die.

No matter how many years, they would wait.

Chapter 2985: You did it yourself, you don't know?

He realized that behind the whole matter, there must be a terrifying existence pushing the evolution of events.

This existence was incredibly powerful; it could even see things millions of years into the future. As Lin Moyu thought further, his back gradually grew cold.

If this existence could see that at some point in the future, he would enter the Secret Realm and kill the Outer Domain Celestial God, allowing these Great Dao Realm experts to regain their vitality.

Then could this existence also see that he was thinking about this matter…

Lin Moyu dared not think any further; he realized that he might have touched upon a realm that should not be touched.

"If my thoughts are correct, then this will be a grand game of chess."

"That powerful existence is using the Heaven and Earth Great Dao to play a grand game of chess."

"But who has this ability? Is it the Great Dao itself, or that…" Lin Moyu thought of that Green Robe old man; perhaps that incredibly mysterious Green Robe old man would have this ability.

Although his back felt a bit cold, this did not prevent Lin Moyu from cursing that couple, the Green Robe old man and his wife, hundreds of times in his heart.

Others might be afraid, but he was not; if they deserved to be cursed, he would curse them.

Over twenty days passed, and everyone who entered the Ice and Fire Secret Realm was sent out by the Secret Realm.

Lin Moyu felt a powerful force land on him, sweeping him away; a huge gap appeared in the sky, and the aura of the outside world came from within the gap.

But Lin Moyu was surprised to find that he could actually resist this force.

If he did not want to leave, the Secret Realm might not necessarily be able to take him away.

This feeling was very strange; in the past, when entering the Secret Realm, he had never had this feeling.

In his astonishment, Lin Moyu still followed the Secret Realm's force and left.

He did not know what would happen if he stayed; if he were accidentally trapped in the Secret Realm, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Moreover, there was no reason worth staying for in the Ice and Fire Secret Realm, so it was better to leave.

Outside the Ice and Fire Secret Realm, many Dao Venerables from the demon race had arrived, and Dao Venerables from the Hundred Herbs Alliance had also arrived.

The Dao Venerables who came from both sides were very powerful; among them were several at the Dao Venerable 7th Realm, and the strongest one on both sides had already reached the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable.

On the demon race's side, the one who came was the patriarch of the Golden Lion clan, a top expert whose cultivation had reached the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable, Clan Leader Jin Mie!

And on the Hundred Herbs Alliance's side, the one who came was the ancestor of the Qingyuan clan, the Qingyuan Ancestral Tree.

It was not just the demon race and the Hundred Herbs Alliance; Dao Venerables from the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce had also arrived.

The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce had also sent many people this time; there were three Dao Venerable 7th Realm experts, and the strongest one leading the team was none other than Xiahou Yuan.

The three forces were on guard outside the Secret Realm; the whole situation looked heavy and tense, as if a great war could break out between the three sides at any moment.

Not many people knew why this was the case and what exactly had happened between the three sides.

The Ice and Fire Secret Realm had existed for so many years, and such a thing had never happened before.

Now, even those at the Dao Venerable 7th Realm had no say; the three Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable experts were the ones in control here.

The Ice and Fire Secret Realm suddenly erupted with intense ice and fire flames, and the three Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable experts acted simultaneously, blasting back all the ice and fire flames.

"They are coming out!"

Everyone stared at the Ice and Fire Secret Realm, knowing that the people inside were about to come out.

Space distorted, and figures were teleported out of the Secret Realm one by one.

At this moment, the entire atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme, as if a great war could break out at any moment.

These figures quickly solidified, one, two, three…

Not everyone was able to return smoothly; some people had accidentally died in the Secret Realm.

Ten people went in, the ice-fire grass had already been killed by Lin Moyu, and in fact, there were only nine people in the Secret Realm.

And at this moment, eight people came out alive; only one had died.

This mortality rate was not considered high.

Finally, Lin Moyu's figure appeared outside the Secret Realm.

Boom!

The Qingyuan Ancestral Tree suddenly attacked, its branches like whips, lashing towards Lin Moyu.

How powerful was the strength of a Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable expert; as the branches lashed out, space shattered one after another.

With Lin Moyu's mere Dao Venerate Second Realm strength, if he were struck, it would be impossible to survive.

At the same time the Qingyuan Ancestral Tree attacked, Xiahou Yuan and Clan Leader Jin Mie also attacked simultaneously.

The two of them, without prior agreement, both attacked the Qingyuan Ancestral Tree.

The only difference was that Xiahou Yuan attacked the Qingyuan Ancestral Tree's offensive, his goal being to protect Lin Moyu.

While Clan Leader Jin Mie attacked the Qingyuan Ancestral Tree's main body; he wanted to kill the Qingyuan Ancestral Tree.

Xiahou Yuan displayed the Soul Dao, his soul power turning from virtual to real, transforming into countless sharp blades and weapons, directly shattering the Qingyuan Ancestral Tree's branches to pieces.

At the same time, accompanied by an inexplicable soul sound, a ball of soul light appeared around Lin Moyu, firmly protecting him.

Clan Leader Jin Mie displayed his Dao True Body, transforming into a thousand-meter-tall golden lion, slapping down towards the Qingyuan Ancestral Tree.

The lion's claw covered the sky and earth, like stars falling from the nine heavens, without showing any mercy.

The nearby Dao Venerable 7th Realm experts all changed their expressions, "Retreat quickly!"

Boom!

The Qingyuan Ancestral Tree lashed out with countless branches, colliding with the lion's claw.

Space constantly shattered, revealing the black void behind it; strands of energy turbulence erupted from the black void, rushing into the Origin Continent and beginning to wreak havoc.

This kind of energy turbulence was terrifying, coming from the depths of space.

Only a battle of the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable could shatter layers of space and draw energy turbulence from the deepest parts of space.

"Die!" Clan Leader Jin Mie roared repeatedly, not caring about the life or death of others; the world was filled with golden lion claws, and every second, millions of claws slapped down.

The Qingyuan Ancestral Tree was not afraid at all; behind it, a cyan Great Dao emerged.

Above the Great Dao, giant Qingyuan trees stood tall; these giant trees simultaneously lashed out with branches, smashing Clan Leader Jin Mie's lion claws to pieces.

Clan Leader Jin Mie roared, his entire body glowing with golden light, and a golden Great Dao appeared around him.

In an instant, countless golden lights fell, turning into meteors and smashing towards the Qingyuan Ancestral Tree.

The two sides fought fiercely, but Xiahou Yuan did not join the battle.

After he initially acted to save Lin Moyu, he did not act again, but stood by and watched from afar.

The whole process actually took less than a second; after Lin Moyu left the Secret Realm, it took a second for his vision to truly recover.

In fact, he had long recovered his sensory abilities and knew that someone wanted to kill him, and the person who wanted to kill him had extremely strong power, which he could not block.

However, when that person launched the attack, another person acted to protect him.

That person was someone he was very familiar with, Xiahou Yuan.

Knowing that Xiahou Yuan was protecting him, Lin Moyu could not be bothered to take any action.

He was not in a hurry to begin with; relying on his Rebirth Talent, even if he were killed, he could recover.

One second later, he saw the battle between Clan Leader Jin Mie and the Qingyuan Ancestral Tree.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Senior Xiahou, what happened here?"

Xiahou Yuan chuckled, "You did it yourself, you don't know?"
