Chapter 2455

However, the edge of this battle blade was chipped, and the magical artifact was in a damaged state.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what is going on here?" The more Clan Leader Jin Mie looked at it, the stranger he felt; with his intellect, he could not figure it out.

Although the magical artifact was not strong, it was rare to see identical magical artifacts.

Lin Moyu said, "These battle blades should be from the same root and origin, and each person can only refine one; they cannot refine a second."

Clan Leader Jin Mie said, "How strange."

He took a battle blade and refined it directly. The refining process was incredibly smooth, completed in the blink of an eye.

When he wanted to refine a second one, all the battle blades of the same realm immediately vibrated, and his soul power was rebounded, refusing to be refined.

Clan Leader Jin Mie did not try to force the refining. "Why is this happening?"

Lin Moyu said, "As far as I know, only in an army would there be such magical artifacts."

"An army mass-produces magical artifacts and places restrictions on those of the same realm, so each soldier can only refine one magical artifact of the same type and realm."

"Moreover, one cannot refine someone else's magical artifact, and these battle blades cannot be stored inside the body; they can only be carried on one's person."

As he spoke, Lin Moyu tossed the battle blade he had refined to Clan Leader Jin Mie, letting him try to refine it.

Clan Leader Jin Mie first removed his refinement from the one he had already refined, then went to refine the battle blade Lin Moyu had sent over, only to find it indeed did not work.

Clan Leader Jin Mie murmured, "According to Fellow Daoist Lin, doing this prevents people from stealing others' magical artifacts."

Lin Moyu said, "Correct. Furthermore, battle blades of different realms represent different military ranks. The Other Shore Realm should be the battle blade of a common soldier."

"From this, it can be inferred that one of the places where the clan's descendants went for training must have been where a major army battle broke out."

"And apart from Panlong Island, no demon clan has ever formed a large army in the Northern Continent, so it can be deduced that this army came from prehistoric times, just like the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury."

"Moreover, these battle blades all exude the aura of time; they are already very ancient."

"Thus, I boldly speculate that the place where these battle blades were found, if it is not the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury, then there must be another Ancient Battlefield in existence."

Clan Leader Jin Mie became excited on the spot. "Fellow Daoist Lin, is what you say true?"

Lin Moyu said, "It is just a guess; we will only know for sure after verification."

The Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury is currently the only Ancient Battlefield discovered in the Northern Continent.

But the current discovery led Lin Moyu to infer that besides the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury, there is another Ancient Battlefield.

The value of an Ancient Battlefield is very high, especially in the eyes of a top-tier Dao Venerable like Clan Leader Jin Mie; every Ancient Battlefield has an immeasurable value.

An Ancient Battlefield is a prehistoric battlefield; perhaps one can find some information on ascending to the Great Dao Realm within it.

This is also why, every time the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury opens, countless top-tier Dao Venerables flock there, all to find a way to break through beyond the Dao Venerable realm.

Unfortunately, after so many years, they have not been able to find it.

Hearing that there was a new Ancient Battlefield, a strange light rose in Clan Leader Jin Mie's eyes, and he couldn't wait to go there immediately.

At this moment, Lin Moyu's gaze carried a thoughtful expression; he was pondering another matter in his heart.

Regarding the prehistoric Ancient Battlefield, Lin Moyu wondered if it might be related to the Outer Domain Celestial God.

However, from what he saw now, the Other Shore Realm battle blades, no matter how he looked at it, could not be linked to the Outer Domain Celestial God.

The Outer Domain Celestial God is of the Great Dao Realm, and even its Divine Pet is at the Dao Venerable 8th Realm or Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable.

The Other Shore Realm is far from the Dao Venerable realm; even ten million Other Shore Realm experts could not defeat one Dao Venerable.

This is precisely what puzzled Lin Moyu.

Unless that Ancient Battlefield is unrelated to the Outer Domain Celestial God.

"Apart from the Outer Domain Celestial God, could there have been other wars in prehistoric times?"

Lin Moyu also grew interested in the Ancient Battlefield; it seemed he had discovered something interesting.

Chapter 3096: Know the How and the Why

Lin Moyu and Clan Leader Jin Mie had different focuses; Clan Leader Jin Mie wanted to find the path to the Great Dao Realm through the Ancient Battlefield.

Now, although he was instinctively excited, upon reflection, he realized that since the corresponding method could be obtained through the Three Ancestors, the Ancient Battlefield might not be that important after all.

Moreover, the Ancient Battlefield only offered a probability, whereas with the Three Ancestors, as long as the price was sufficient, it could be obtained with one hundred percent certainty.

By comparison, the Three Ancestors side was safer.

Besides that, Clan Leader Jin Mie also had his own thoughts.

If the corresponding method could be found in the Northern Continent's Ancient Battlefield, but the source was Human, his method might not necessarily be suitable for himself.

Having multiple methods is naturally better.

At least two methods could be compared and verified against each other.

As for Lin Moyu, he wanted to trace the traces left behind in the prehistoric Ancient Battlefield, to find out what had happened back then, and to find the root of the Origin Continent.

He believed more that to ascend to become a true powerhouse and reach the supreme realm, one needed to understand the origin of the Origin Continent.

Only by understanding the origin, analyzing it clearly, and truly knowing the 'how' and the 'why,' could one step into the true supreme realm.

The two people had different goals, but their destination was the same.

Clan Leader Jin Mie said, "After I go out in a while, I will have people investigate where these battle blades came from."

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "The warehouse has no entry records; how do you intend to investigate?"

"This…" Clan Leader Jin Mie was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Only then did he realize that the records of entry and exit were so important.

He scratched his head, "Fellow Daoist Lin, please trouble yourself to think of a way."

Lin Moyu said, "It is actually very simple; you can just issue a bounty, hang these blades up in the city, and let the obtainers come forward themselves."

"Of course, you must also set a restriction; if someone talks nonsense, they must be punished, and the punishment must be severe."

"If they say it correctly, then give a heavy reward."

Clan Leader Jin Mie slapped his head, "Good method! Such a simple method, why couldn't I think of it?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "It's just that you didn't go to think about it; with your wisdom, you would have thought of it quickly even without me saying it."

Clan Leader Jin Mie chuckled, accepting the flattery.

At this moment, Lin Moyu reached out and beckoned gently, and a box automatically flew into his hand.

This box was identical to the one obtained earlier from the Red Flame Divine Eagle Clan inside the Secret Space Bead.

The only difference was that the box was covered in dust, and its surface had been damaged.

According to Lin Moyu's observation, the box must have experienced a struggle; there were several attack marks on it, but the attacker's power was not strong, leaving only slight marks without causing any real damage.

This box was extremely sturdy; below the Dao Venerable realm, it was impossible to damage the box, at most leaving some insignificant marks.

Lin Moyu moved his soul power and activated the formation on the box.

The formation operated, and the box blossomed with radiant light; just a few seconds later, the box looked brand new.

Lin Moyu took out the empty box that had previously held Star Lord Yunjian. "Please, Clan Leader, add this as well when issuing the bounty. If anyone can provide clues about this box, or directly provide the box, I, Lin Moyu, also have a heavy reward."

"But if anyone gives false information, there will also be a heavy punishment."

Clan Leader Jin Mie knew Lin Moyu's methods all too well.

He immediately said, "Rest assured, leave this matter to me. The rewards and punishments will be handled by us; Fellow Daoist Lin does not need to worry."

"If anyone can bring out the box, it will belong to Fellow Daoist Lin."

How could Clan Leader Jin Mie miss such a good opportunity? He immediately took full responsibility, building a good relationship with Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu was not polite either, "Then I will not be polite."

Clan Leader Jin Mie waved his hand, "Such a small matter, why be polite!"

Lin Moyu's intent moved, and all the floating materials and magical artifacts fell, turning back into several small hills.

"Please, Clan Leader, take me to another junk warehouse to see; perhaps there will be some discoveries."

Clan Leader Jin Mie immediately said, "Good, no problem!"

The two immediately headed to the junk warehouse owned by the collateral clan members; the materials and magical artifacts inside were clearly of a lower grade.

Two similar Other Shore Realm battle blades were found, but as for the box, none were discovered.

Half a day later, four battle blades suddenly appeared in the sky above Purple Gold City.

The four battle blades were located at the four corners of Purple Gold City, suspended a hundred meters high, shining brightly.

Then, Clan Leader Jin Mie's voice resounded throughout the city, "Whoever knows where these battle blades were obtained, report it to the clan; there will be a heavy reward. If anyone gives false information, they will be severely punished!"

As for what the reward or punishment would be, Clan Leader Jin Mie did not specify.

However, the people of the Golden Lion Clan knew that whether it was a heavy reward or a severe punishment, it would not be light.

While the battle blades were floating, an exquisite box also appeared in the sky above the center of the city.

Clan Leader Jin Mie's voice sounded again, "Whoever can provide clues about this box, or directly provide this box, will receive a heavy reward."

Clan Leader Jin Mie repeated the exact same words.

As he issued the order, the Golden Lion Clan members in Purple Gold City immediately sprang into action.

A large number of Golden Lion Clan members went to look at the battle blades, then searched their memories.

Others went to look at the treasure box, constantly searching their memories for relevant information.

If they could find any clues, they could get a heavy reward; who wouldn't want to do such a good thing?

Lin Moyu returned to the courtyard and took out the newly obtained treasure box.

This treasure box was identical to the one obtained earlier, only the formation on it was slightly different.

After studying it for a moment, Lin Moyu found the method to open it; he drew a special rune, activated the formation on the box, and integrated the rune into it.

Accompanied by a soft sound, the box opened.

A powerful aura flowed out from the box, and an exquisite fragment lay quietly inside.

"Another fragment of the Great Dao Realm; what kind of fragment is this, exactly?"

Similar in size to the fragment from the first box, Lin Moyu could distinguish that it came from the Great Dao Realm, but he could not analyze what it was.

After taking a few looks, Lin Moyu closed the box and put it away.

"It seems that in the prehistoric era, this kind of box was used to store valuables."

"At the very least, they were items of the Great Dao Realm; only items of the Great Dao Realm can ignore the influence of the power of time and remain immortal for hundreds of millions of years."

"However, even if there was nothing inside, the value of the box itself is already quite high."

Lin Moyu could feel that the material of this box contained a trace of the power of the Great Dao of Time.

It could itself allow items inside to experience time as if it were a day, even over years.

It was perfect for storing pills that were not of the Great Dao Realm, so there would be no need to worry about the pills losing their efficacy over time.

Lin Moyu took out a tea set and began to slowly brew and drink tea.

As for the matter of searching for the battle blades and the treasure box, with Clan Leader Jin Mie handling it, he didn't need to worry.

In a few more days, the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury would open, and at that time, he could go and check out the Northern Continent's Ancient Battlefield.

On the third day of Lin Moyu's arrival in Purple Gold City, the day after the bounty was issued, someone came to Lin Moyu's courtyard.

Seeing the person arrive, Lin Moyu smiled and said, "So it is Grand Elder Jin Lan; what brings you here to find me?"

Grand Elder Jin Lan revealed a gentle smile, "I smelled the tea fragrance and came over to ask for a cup of tea."

Lin Moyu gestured with his hand, "Then please sit and taste how my tea is."

Chapter 3097: The Poorest Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable, Star Lord Returns

Grand Elder Jin Lan tasted the tea brewed by Lin Moyu himself. After one sip, her eyes immediately lit up, "Good tea."

Lin Moyu's tea was obtained from the Three Ancestors and was truly top-tier tea.

Although not the absolute best, it could still rank in the top few in the Origin Continent.

Lin Moyu smiled, "Since you like it, Grand Elder, please have more."

Grand Elder Jin Lan was not polite, "Fellow Daoist Lin, this tea cannot be found in our Demon Clan, so naturally, I must taste more."

Although Grand Elder Jin Lan was female, her speech and mannerisms carried a heroic spirit, and having long held a high position, she also possessed a noble temperament.

Lin Moyu smiled, "With your status, Grand Elder, is it possible that you cannot find good tea to drink?"
