Chapter 2453
He carefully opened the box and saw a fragment.
The fragment was illusory, constantly shifting between illusion and reality, appearing and disappearing.
An aura belonging to the Great Dao Realm radiated from the fragment.
Lin Moyu could tell at a glance that this item, which seemed both real and illusory, belonged to the Great Dao Realm.
As for what Great Dao it was, or what this object actually was, Lin Moyu did not know.
He tried to communicate with it using his soul, but found it completely useless.
He reached out to take it, but before he could touch it, his fingers were repelled by an invisible force.
He tried many methods, but couldn't even make contact.
Lin Moyu knew it was because his cultivation realm was still too weak, and he lacked the qualifications to touch it.
It was just like the ice-fire dao stone; without knowing the correct sealing method, or if he didn't have a unique storage space, he wouldn't be able to touch it either.
Things from the Great Dao Realm are not something an ordinary Dao Venerable Realm expert can touch.
Lin Moyu closed the box again, put it into his storage space, and then opened the second box.
The formation was the same, and the method to open it was also the same.
As soon as the second box was opened, a powerful force leaked out from within.
This power also belonged to the Great Dao Realm, but Lin Moyu was very familiar with it.
Inside the box, a small flying sword, only the length of a finger, lay quietly.
The Thousand Star Great Dao emerged naturally, resonating with the flying sword in the box.
"This is the legacy item of a certain Star Lord."
"It is a very powerful Star Lord, stronger than any Star Lord legacy I have obtained before."
Within the Thousand Star Great Dao, more than a dozen stars had already been lit.
These stars all represented a Star Lord legacy.
Lin Moyu had established an organization called the Thousand Star Hall in Yudao City, selecting suitable candidates to bestow the Star Lord legacies upon.
Because the Thousand Star Great Dao existed, no one chosen by the Thousand Star Hall could ever betray him.
He possessed absolute power over these Star Lord inheritors, able to demand anything from them.
Now, he was about to have one more Star Lord legacy.
Lin Moyu took out the small sword and placed it into the Thousand Star Great Dao.
The Thousand Star Great Dao vibrated ceaselessly, and the entire Thousand Star Great Dao began to glow.
A brand-new Star Lord star quickly appeared and took shape, illuminating half of the Thousand Star Great Dao while emitting a powerful aura.
Within the Thousand Star Great Dao, there were also different tiers of Star Lord legacies.
And this newly appeared Star Lord star was at the very top.
No other star stood alongside it; it told everyone just how powerful it was!
As the star settled into place, just when Lin Moyu thought everything was over, a sharp sword suddenly emerged from within the star.
Then, Lin Moyu heard a sound similar to a heartbeat.
It wasn't a real heartbeat, but a heartbeat of the soul.
The heartbeat came from the Thousand Star Great Dao, from the Star Lord star that had just returned to its place.
The Eye of the Undead opened, and he suddenly saw a Soul Fire pulsating within this star.
With every pulse of the Soul Fire, a sound similar to a heartbeat was emitted.
"This Star Lord is not dead; his soul is recovering!"
Lin Moyu suddenly realized that this powerful Star Lord had not truly fallen.
He had always preserved his Remnant Soul, waiting for countless years, waiting to return to the Thousand Star Great Dao.
Lin Moyu narrowed his eyes, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Now, he had the ability to help this Star Lord, but should he?
He did not know the temperament of this Star Lord. If he helped him, how would he treat him once he recovered?
He was currently the one mastering the Thousand Star Great Dao, and Lin Moyu knew that the struggle for the Great Dao was extremely cruel.
If this Star Lord wanted to contend for the position of Dao Master of the Thousand Star Great Dao, what would he do to him?
Based on this reasoning, he shouldn't save him; he should even destroy this soul and find someone else to inherit the Star Lord position.
But if his speculation was wrong, and the Star Lord could not contend for the Dao Master position, and might even obey him, that would make for a rare helper.
To have survived from prehistoric times until now, his strength could be imagined.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Moyu made a decision.
He decided to take a gamble; perhaps he could gain a powerful helper.
A surge of Power of Life merged into the Thousand Star Great Dao, entering the star to help his soul recover.
Then, a spirit flower flew out, blooming and wrapping around the star.
The spirit flower was consumed rapidly, at a speed many times faster than usual. With the help of the spirit flower, the recovery speed of the soul within the star increased slightly.
However, whether it was the Power of Life or the spirit flower, their realms were a bit too low, and the soul within the star was too powerful, being an existence of the Great Dao Realm, so the healing effect was average.
But Lin Moyu didn't care; if one wasn't enough, then ten.
If ten weren't enough, then a hundred.
He had many spirit flowers now; while he couldn't say they were inexhaustible, he could afford to use a hundred or so.
Chapter 3093: Star Lord Yunjian, Garbage Warehouse
The spirit flowers were used one by one, and the Power of Life was also supplied continuously.
However, the other party's realm was simply too high, and the healing effect of the spirit flowers and the Power of Life was not ideal. A normal Dao Venerable Realm expert, even if their soul was about to collapse, could be healed with just a few spirit flowers.
Even for Daoist Tianlei, because he suffered Heavenly Punishment, which caused damage exceeding the Dao Venerable Realm, the effect of the spirit flowers was reduced significantly.
But it wouldn't be as bad as it was now, where the effect of the spirit flowers was so poor, almost nonexistent.
After using ten spirit flowers, the other party's soul had only recovered a tiny bit more.
In terms of overall recovery, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
Furthermore, because the spirit flowers were used too many times, some resistance had developed. By the time the tenth spirit flower was used, the effect was far inferior to the first. Using another hundred or a thousand probably wouldn't be very useful.
Lin Moyu had a headache. He didn't feel bad about the spirit flowers, but he was troubled by his inability to heal the other party.
At this moment, a weak thought suddenly came from within the star, "There is no need to waste your energy; this Star Lord can recover slowly on his own."
Lin Moyu realized that the spirit flowers he used just now were not completely useless.
The consciousness within the other party's Remnant Soul had actually recovered.
However, judging by the tone, it was still very weak.
Lin Moyu asked, "Which Star Lord are you?"
That weak thought was transmitted again, "Star Lord Yunjian."
This time there were only four words, and the thought seemed to have become a bit weaker than before.
Star Lord Yunjian—Lin Moyu had never heard this name, nor had he ever seen it in any records.
However, he could be certain that this was a very powerful Star Lord, and one who had survived from prehistoric times to the present.
Lin Moyu said, "My realm is too low, so the healing effect on you is poor. When my realm is higher in the future, the healing effect might be better."
After a few seconds, Star Lord Yunjian's weak thought came again, "This Star Lord appreciates the Dao Master's kindness. My soul's foundation has been damaged, and it will take time; the Dao Master need not worry too much. This Star Lord is going to hibernate and will speak with the Dao Master again upon waking."
After saying this, Star Lord Yunjian fell into hibernation again, and there was absolutely no sound.
Lin Moyu analyzed Star Lord Yunjian's words. Although there were only three sentences, he could analyze quite a bit of information.
When Star Lord Yunjian woke up, he hadn't realized that he was the one mastering the Thousand Star Great Dao. Although his thought was weak, his tone revealed a hint of arrogance.
This was the arrogance possessed by those in the Great Dao Realm; it was very normal.
The second sentence was nothing; it just stated his identity.
The most important thing was the third sentence. When he said the third sentence, Star Lord Yunjian already understood his current situation and knew that he had returned to the Thousand Star Great Dao.
Star Lord Yunjian's tone clearly revealed a sense of relief, as if he knew he had been saved.
Furthermore, Star Lord Yunjian began to address him as Dao Master, and the tone was very natural; clearly, he regarded him as the Dao Master.
This also allowed him to analyze that he had no intention of snatching his position as Dao Master.
Lin Moyu muttered to himself, "As the sole comprehendor of the Thousand Star Great Dao, it seems appropriate enough for a Star Lord to call me Dao Master."
"I don't know when Star Lord Yunjian will truly recover, but if he can recover, he will indeed be a great help."
This time, destroying the Red Flame Divine Eagle Clan and inadvertently allowing Star Lord Yunjian to return was indeed a pleasant surprise.
Lin Moyu thought of this box again. Since Star Lord Yunjian could preserve his Remnant Soul, could there be other powerful Star Lords who had left behind Remnant Souls?
Lin Moyu thought that perhaps he could go looking for them; it was hard to say, but he might gain something.
The next day, Clan Leader Jin Mie came in person, saying he wanted to take Lin Moyu to stroll around Purple Gold City.
Lin Moyu did not refuse. He took out the box containing Star Lord Yunjian's legacy item and asked, "Clan Leader, have you ever seen a box like this?"
Clan Leader Jin Mie looked at the box and said in a low voice, "It seems I have seen it."
"You really have!" Lin Moyu's eyes lit up, "Could you please help me recall where you saw it?"
"Let me think." With Clan Leader Jin Mie's realm, as long as he had seen an item, he would definitely not misidentify it.
It was just that he had lived for many years, and the information in his memory was as vast as the sea; searching through it would require some effort.
Clan Leader Jin Mie closed his eyes to search through his memories. A moment later, Clan Leader Jin Mie opened his eyes, "I remember."
"That was many years ago. At that time, I had just reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm, finished purifying my bloodline, was confirmed as a direct descendant, and was assigned an elder of the clan to be my protector."
"The first task I received at that time was to go to the clan's warehouse to find an item."
"I didn't understand it at the time, but I went to look for it, and it took me a month to finally find that item."
Lin Moyu found it strange; what did what Clan Leader Jin Mie was saying have to do with the question he was asking?
However, Lin Moyu was very patient and continued to listen.
Clan Leader Jin Mie continued, "Actually, the core of that task was a second test of my bloodline. Our bloodline testing is not done just once."
"That item would resonate with the bloodline, and only those with a truly powerful bloodline could find it among the countless items in the warehouse."
"It was during the process of searching for it that I saw a similar box."
Lin Moyu asked, "Lin would like this box; I wonder if it would be convenient for the Clan Leader."
Clan Leader Jin Mie laughed, "What could be inconvenient? That warehouse is actually our clan's garbage warehouse; there isn't anything good inside."
"It's just that so many years have passed, so it's hard to say whether that item is still there."
"The warehouse is on the other side of Purple Gold City; I will take Fellow Daoist Lin there right now."
Clan Leader Jin Mie was very straightforward and left immediately.
While walking, he explained to Lin Moyu what a garbage warehouse was, "Our clan has two warehouses, located in two corners of Purple Gold City."
"The two warehouses correspond to the direct bloodline and the collateral bloodline, respectively. Every clansman who cultivates to the Other Shore Realm has the opportunity to enter the warehouse once and pick one item they like."
"Then, many clansmen above the Heavenly Venerable Realm, when they go out on adventures or travels, throw some useless items they bring back into these two warehouses."
"Over time, the items in the warehouse became more and more numerous, piling up like mountains. No one manages them on a daily basis, and later on, they came to be called garbage warehouses."
"However, it's not that there are absolutely no good things in the garbage warehouses; as for whether you can pick one out, that depends on your discernment."
"When I became a Heavenly Venerable Realm expert, it was about eighty thousand years ago. Eighty thousand years have passed; I don't know if the item Fellow Daoist Lin wants is still there."
After so many years, countless people have entered the warehouse and taken things; no one can guarantee whether that box has been taken by someone.
Lin Moyu asked, "After someone from your clan takes an item, is there no record?"
In the warehouses of human sects and families, there would be records of who took what.
