Chapter 2415

Clan Leader Lei Tian said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, please come with me to the Purple Tiger Tower. Several clan elders are already waiting."

Lin Moyu said, "I'll trouble Clan Leader Lei Tian to lead the way!"

Lei Tian transformed into a fierce tiger and charged toward the Purple Tiger Tower.

Behind him, he left a long band of purple light, like a welcoming carpet, to receive the distinguished guest.

Lin Moyu stepped onto the band of light, which immediately retracted, carrying him toward the Purple Tiger Tower.

Lei Tian flew into the clouds, and the band of light extended into them as well.

Lei Ding trembled all over. "They actually went to the top of the tower."

Lei Hao was also in disbelief at this moment. "Isn't it said that outsiders are not allowed to enter the top of the tower?"

Lei Ding said, "It's only said that under normal circumstances, outsiders aren't allowed. The current situation is clearly not normal."

Lei Hao nodded blankly. "It's indeed not normal. Brother Lin is no ordinary person."

Lei Ding suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "How did you meet him? Tell me everything in detail from beginning to end." Lei Hao gave an 'oh' and immediately began to explain in detail.

From the Boundary Sea World to the several days they spent drinking heavily recently, and then to the trip to the ancestral land, he recounted everything without missing a single detail.

After Lei Ding finished listening, he pondered for a moment. "Get along well with him in the future. You must treat such a person with sincerity, understand?"

Lei Hao said, "My sincerity toward Brother Lin is as real as it gets."

As the two spoke, it seemed to show a deep bond between father and son at this moment.

As for Lei Xuan, he truly died in vain. Many years later, no one would remember that there was once a direct-line clan member named Lei Xuan.

Standing on the band of light, Lin Moyu entered the top of the Purple Tiger Tower.

Inside the Purple Tiger Tower, there was a self-contained space.

Here, Lin Moyu saw dozens of Seventh Realm and above ancestors.

It seemed that only Seventh Realm and above ancestors could ascend to the top space of the Purple Tiger Tower.

Several Seventh Realm and above ancestors saw Lin Moyu, and each showed surprise. For countless years, this was the first time an outsider had been welcomed here.

Because Lin Moyu, this outsider, was brought personally by Clan Leader Lei Tian, these Seventh Realm Ancestors said nothing.

Lei Tian walked half a step ahead of Lin Moyu, leading him into the tower.

At the same time, he introduced, "The Purple Tiger Tower is 12,000 meters high, with a total of 999 floors."

"This is the highest point of the Purple Tiger Tower, the 999th floor."

"The Purple Tiger Tower generally does not allow outsiders to enter, especially this 999th floor. Fellow Daoist Lin is the first outsider to enter this place in countless years."

Lin Moyu was surprised. "Why is that?"

He thought that if even the ancestral land could be open to outsiders, why couldn't the Purple Tiger Tower be? He wondered if there was some secret involved.

Lei Tian said, "Because within the Purple Tiger Tower, a secret is hidden. This secret is very dangerous and not suitable for outsiders to know."

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Lin is not an outsider."

"To keep this secret, our clan must dispatch a large number of personnel to guard this place every year."

Lin Moyu asked, "It has to do with the Outer Domain Celestial God, right?"

After entering this space, Lin Moyu felt an aura belonging to an Outer Domain Celestial God.

This aura was neither strong nor weak, but it was everywhere.

Lei Tian said, "Yes, it is related to an Outer Domain Celestial God."

Lin Moyu was somewhat puzzled. "Why don't you ask the Demon Emperor to take action and kill the Outer Domain Celestial God? The Demon Emperor should have the ability."

Lei Tian said, "We did ask the Demon Emperor to take action once, but unfortunately, even the Demon Emperor's intervention was useless."

"In the end, the Demon Emperor could only help us strengthen the defenses of the Purple Tiger Tower. At that time, the Demon Emperor said that only an Illusory-type Great Dao could help us solve the problem."

"This Purple Tiger Tower ties up too much of our clan's energy. At least two-thirds of our clan elders are stationed here, unable to leave."

"Besides the elders, the power invested in this tower every year reaches half of the entire clan's strength."

Lin Moyu finally understood why the luck of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan fluctuated in strength.

When more than half of a race's power is tied down by a single matter, that race's luck naturally cannot be very strong.

Furthermore, the situation didn't end there.

Lin Moyu asked, "From what I see, the situation might be getting worse and worse."

Lei Tian's eyes flickered slightly as he sighed. "That's right, the situation is getting worse. Thousands of years ago, the Purple Tiger Tower only tied up about one-third of our clan's power."

"Over the thousands of years, suppression has become increasingly difficult, and the clan power tied up has become more and more immense."

"If this continues, we might have to use the entire clan's strength to suppress the Purple Tiger Tower. At that time…"

Lei Tian did not continue, but anyone could understand the meaning behind his words.

Lin Moyu heard the helplessness in Lei Tian's voice. "I will do my best. Please, Clan Leader, tell me in detail exactly what is going on."

By now, Lei Tian had led Lin Moyu deep into the space.

He reached out and pressed lightly on the void, and countless complex purple patterns immediately appeared in the space.

Then, the space shifted, and they entered the second layer of space here.

Lin Moyu instinctively looked forward, and an extremely revolting sensation rose from the depths of his soul.

Chapter 3034: Men Die for Wealth, the Strong Die for the Realm

As a strong sense of revulsion surged in his soul, Lin Moyu knew that there must be an Outer Domain Celestial God here—a real Outer Domain Celestial God, not a Divine Pet.

Moreover, this Outer Domain Celestial God was very strong, comparable to the one seen in the Ice and Fire Secret Realm.

Lin Moyu had encountered Outer Domain Celestial Gods many times and roughly knew how to judge their strength.

The simplest way was to judge through the feeling of revulsion.

To many people, the revulsion brought by Outer Domain Celestial Gods might feel the same.

But in Lin Moyu's perception, even though the revulsion came from the same Great Dao, there were distinct differences.

Currently, the revulsion brought by a Divine Pet was the weakest, while that of an Outer Domain Celestial God was much stronger.

Furthermore, the stronger the Outer Domain Celestial God, the more intense the revulsion.

This feeling brought by the Great Dao could not be wrong; Lin Moyu trusted the Great Dao.

But even within that revulsion, Lin Moyu still felt some differences.

When he saw Outer Domain Celestial Gods before, at the same time the revulsion arose, the Great Dao would issue a command, like a mandatory mission that had to be completed—he had to eliminate the Outer Domain Celestial God or Divine Pet he saw.

But now, while the revulsion arose, the Great Dao did not hand down a command.

In other words, even if he didn't eliminate this Outer Domain Celestial God, it wouldn't matter; the Great Dao would not issue a punishment.

From this, Lin Moyu immediately felt that this Outer Domain Celestial God was unusual.

In the second layer of space on the 999th floor of the Purple Tiger Tower, Lin Moyu's eyes were like lightning as he searched the surroundings.

He did not see the Outer Domain Celestial God. Although the revulsion still existed, the Outer Domain Celestial God was not here.

Lin Moyu said with doubt, "Clan Leader Lei Tian, I feel the revulsion, but I don't see the Outer Domain Celestial God."

Lei Tian gave a bitter smile. "That is precisely what's special about it. Let's go, I'll explain as we walk."

With that, Lei Tian continued walking toward the depths of the second layer of space.

Lin Moyu observed the second layer of space. Besides the aura of the Outer Domain Celestial God, there was another familiar aura—the aura of the Demon Emperor.

Possessing the Great Dao of Space himself, he was extremely sensitive to spatial changes.

He could sense that the first layer of space in the Purple Tiger Tower and the second layer they were currently in were not created by the same person.

The one who arranged this second layer of space was the Demon Emperor, as it retained his aura.

Lin Moyu asked, "If I'm not mistaken, this layer of space was arranged by the Demon Emperor, right?"

Lei Tian's eyebrows twitched a few times. "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lin to see through that as well."

Lin Moyu smiled. "I've met the Demon Emperor once, so I can sense his aura."

There was a hint of surprise in Lei Tian's gaze. "Fellow Daoist Lin's spiritual perception is truly incredibly sharp."

Thousands of years had passed since the Demon Emperor arranged the second layer of space, and the remaining aura had faded to the extreme, yet Lin Moyu could still sense it.

Lin Moyu smiled. "Tell me, what exactly is the situation here?"

Lei Tian said, "Fellow Daoist Lin is so familiar with Outer Domain Celestial Gods, it seems you have encountered them before, so you should have some understanding of them."

"There are actually many types of Outer Domain Celestial Gods. The most common ones are those shaped like humans with wings. They have great combat power, and the more wings they have, the more powerful they are."

"There is another kind, which belongs to a special type of Outer Domain Celestial God. Their combat power might not be that strong, but they possess many bizarre abilities."

"For example, the Outer Domain Celestial God here is a special type."

This was the first time Lin Moyu had heard of special types of Outer Domain Celestial Gods; it seemed he was still too ill-informed.

However, he showed no expression and just listened quietly.

Seeing that Lin Moyu didn't speak, Lei Tian continued, "The Purple Tiger Tower and the Purple Pattern Origin share the same root and origin; both are supreme treasures of our Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan."

"The Purple Pattern Origin is the foundation of our power, while the Purple Tiger Tower is our most powerful Dharma treasure used to guard it. It is our clan-protecting treasure."

"The Purple Tiger Tower is extremely powerful. As long as it exists, our Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan can stand tall."

Lin Moyu smiled. "It seems the Purple Tiger Tower is a Great Dao Realm Dharma treasure. Although such treasures require a Great Dao Realm powerhouse to exert their full power, if one has the corresponding secret techniques, it can indeed make one invincible in the Dao Venerable Realm."

"Outer Domain Celestial Gods are all Great Dao Realm existences. If you want to use the Purple Tiger Tower to deal with it, it might not be enough."

A Great Dao Realm Dharma treasure wasn't something that could be used at will.

If one's strength was insufficient, it was impossible to unleash the full power of a Great Dao Realm treasure.

Dealing with the Dao Venerable Realm was certainly no problem, but against the Great Dao Realm, it fell short.

Lei Tian's face showed worry. "Indeed. We didn't expect the Outer Domain Celestial God to be so difficult to deal with. By the time we found out, it was already too late."

Through Lei Tian's narration, Lin Moyu finally understood what had happened.

Thousands of years ago, the Clan Leader of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan was not Lei Tian, but another Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable powerhouse.

His strength was greater than Lei Tian's, and the Thunder Cloud he obtained was even more powerful.

During an exploration, he obtained a Dharma treasure.

Inside this Dharma treasure, an Outer Domain Celestial God was sealed.

They knew that killing an Outer Domain Celestial God would grant a Great Dao reward. That Clan Leader became ambitious, wanting to kill the Outer Domain Celestial God and use the reward to ascend to the Great Dao Realm.

But with his individual strength, it was impossible to kill an Outer Domain Celestial God.

So, he brought the Dharma treasure sealing the Outer Domain Celestial God back to the Purple Tiger Tower.

He wanted to use the power of the Purple Tiger Tower to kill the Outer Domain Celestial God.

He had multiple clan elders jointly trigger the Purple Pattern Origin, and then used the Power of Origin to drive the Purple Tiger Tower together to suppress and kill the Outer Domain Celestial God.

Unsurprisingly, an accident occurred.

During the process, the original Dharma treasure sealing the Outer Domain Celestial God shattered, and the Outer Domain Celestial God broke free. Only then did the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan realize what kind of Outer Domain Celestial God they were facing.

It was an Outer Domain Celestial God that existed between the illusory and the real.

Its combat power was not strong, not as good as the Great Dao Realm.

However, it had a bizarre ability: fusion.

It could fuse with various things and manipulate them after fusion.

It wasn't possession; the objects it fused with were anything other than living beings, such as the Purple Tiger Tower.

It could fuse with the Purple Tiger Tower, becoming something like a treasure spirit, and eventually control the Purple Tiger Tower.

Because it was a Great Dao Realm existence, it could unleash the full power of the Purple Tiger Tower.

When that happened, not only would the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan be finished, but even the Demon Race would be in big trouble. At that time, all the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan could do was continue using the Power of Origin to suppress it.

Unfortunately, their strength was not strong enough, and the Power of Origin they triggered was also insufficient to kill it.

But it wasn't entirely without effect; that Outer Domain Celestial God also found it difficult to truly control the Purple Tiger Tower.
