Chapter 2457

Grand Elder Jin Lan's eyes were filled with nostalgia as she recounted the situation at that time. "Back then, I had just broken through to the Seventh Realm Ancestor, and the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury happened to be opening, so I went in…"

Through her description, Lin Moyu learned the whole process and gained a brand-new understanding of the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury.

The Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury is a cluster of Secret Realms; no one knows exactly how many there are inside.

It is said that this is because far too many powerful experts died in this Ancient Battlefield.

After many experts died, their power did not dissipate, and their corpses remained immortal, eventually forming one Secret Realm after another.

Because everyone practiced different cultivation techniques, had different levels of power, and possessed different personalities and consciousnesses while alive, the Secret Realms they formed were vastly different.

The Secret Realm Grand Elder Jin Lan entered was a very simple war-type Secret Realm with no mysteries. She defeated a hundred-man army inside and finally obtained this treasure box from the army's base camp.

At the time, the hundred-man army she faced was led by a Seventh Realm Ancestor, and the remaining soldiers were all Dao Venerable 5th Realm experts, but they still couldn't stop her.

Later, Grand Elder Jin Lan entered the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury a few more times, but she didn't gain much on those occasions.

It was only from Grand Elder Jin Lan that Lin Moyu learned that the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury is also divided into layers, split into four regions.

The entry-level region corresponds to those below the Dao Venerable Realm.

The low-tier region corresponds to the Dao Venerable 1st to 3rd Realm, the mid-tier region to the 4th to 6th Realm, and the high-tier region to the 7th Realm and above.

When you first enter the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury, you are teleported to the region corresponding to your cultivation level.

Entrants can move within their own region. If they want to go to a higher-level region, they need to find the correct path and pass certain trials.

The place where the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury is located is an Ancient Battlefield.

In addition to a large number of Secret Realms, there are many strange creatures.

These creatures have a unified name: they are called War Beasts.

War Beasts were originally spirit beasts. In the Ancient Battlefield, influenced by the resentment of the battlefield and the power of the experts, they evolved into War Beasts.

War Beasts are stronger than spirit beasts of the same realm and often appear in groups, making them difficult to deal with.

Besides that, one sometimes encounters armies on the periphery of the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury.

The Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury is not immutable; sometimes Secret Realms shatter, and the War Beast armies inside rush out.

Sometimes, even if the Secret Realm hasn't shattered, the entities inside will still rush out.

Therefore, the entire Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury is full of uncertainty. Every time it opens, at least thirty to forty percent of the people who enter die inside; the mortality rate is not low.

In the most tragic incident, an army led by a Dao Venerable 7th Realm expert rushed out of a Secret Realm and killed their way into the mid-tier region.

That time, more than seventy percent of the Dao Venerables in the mid-tier region died.

Chapter 3099: Too Many People, Will Be Gawked At

It is very dangerous, and the casualty rate is extremely high, yet every time the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury opens, countless people still try their hardest to squeeze in.

Even members of other races try every possible way to obtain a quota.

The reason is that there are too many treasures in the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury, and there are always surprising gains to be had.

And these gains often exceed one's own realm.

For example, in the entry-level region below the Dao Venerable Realm, a Heavenly Venerable once obtained a treasure of the Dao Venerable 4th Realm, becoming rich overnight.

There are also people at the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm who obtained materials of the Dao Venerable 7th Realm.

There are also many powerful secret technique inheritances, and so on. There are too many such cases.

After listening to Grand Elder Jin Lan's account, Lin Moyu had a deeper understanding of the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury.

Lin Moyu said, "Thank you for telling me, Grand Elder Jin Lan."

Grand Elder Jin Lan was in an excellent mood at this moment. Her old injuries had healed, and she was incredibly grateful to Lin Moyu, so she quickly said, "Sir, you are too polite. You can just call me Jin Lan; there is no need to be so distant."

Lin Moyu said, "Then, sorry to trouble you, Grand Elder… The second thing, please help me change to a new courtyard; this one can no longer be used."

The entire courtyard had collapsed and was almost in ruins.

Even the pavilion they were sitting in would have collapsed long ago if Lin Moyu hadn't been maintaining it with his own power.

Grand Elder Jin Lan smiled embarrassedly, "I was too excited just now and didn't control myself for a moment. I will get a new courtyard for you right away."

"I wonder if you have any other orders, Sir? Please feel free to speak."

Lin Moyu said, "Not for now. If I have any needs, I will look for you again."

Grand Elder Jin Lan took out a golden token, "This is my token. Please keep it safe, Sir. If you have anything, you can contact me directly through the token."

The token was inscribed with an array and had a communication function, but the distance was limited. Generally, if it exceeded one hundred thousand miles, it was useless.

The demon race generally doesn't rely on such tokens for communication, which is a bit different from the human race.

Lin Moyu put away the token, "Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Jin Lan."

Grand Elder Jin Lan arranged a new courtyard, which was more exquisite than the one before.

Lin Moyu lived in Purple Gold City for three days, which was a rare period of rest.

During these three days, Lin Moyu didn't go anywhere; instead, he sat in the courtyard, enjoying the scenery while sipping tea slowly.

The days seemed leisurely, but Lin Moyu wasn't actually idle. He was studying arrays.

The Ten Thousand Volcano Array had given him an inspiration: arrays don't necessarily have to be perfect; sometimes they can be imperfect. Imperfect arrays can sometimes accomplish certain things.

For example, collecting resentment. By collecting resentment, it can be supplied to the Buddha Kingdom Lich's Eternal Buddha Kingdom, or it can be given to the Bone Hell, or even used to refine some evil magic treasures.

This flaw in the Ten Thousand Volcano Array can also be used in other arrays.

The Dao of Arrays is also vast and boundless, requiring years of comprehension to gain anything.

While studying arrays, Lin Moyu did not forget to condense Dao Patterns.

Condensing Dao Patterns was not difficult for him. The process was very smooth, not even requiring much of his mental energy.

The only trouble was time. Although the process of condensing was effortless, the time required could not be avoided.

This is the path set by the Great Dao for all cultivators; everyone is the same. The more Dao Patterns, the more time is needed.

Precisely because of this, many talented cultivators cannot bear the increasingly long time in the end, unable to bear seeing those who are clearly less talented than themselves surpass them in cultivation realm.

So, this is also a test of the cultivator's Dao Heart by the Great Dao. If you want to maintain your status as a genius, you must constantly seek opportunities and use them to make up for it.

Just sitting at home and cultivating will ultimately make it difficult to reach the Great Dao.

Now, in Lin Moyu's soul, a total of fifty-four Dao Patterns were shining.

If placed in the prehistoric era, the number of Lin Moyu's Dao Patterns would have already surpassed many Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable experts.

The astonishing number of Dao Patterns also gave Lin Moyu an unimaginably long time.

He currently needs two hundred years to condense each Dao Pattern. He needs to condense another eighteen Dao Patterns to advance to the Dao Venerable 4th Realm.

For Lin Moyu, that is a full three thousand six hundred years.

Perhaps for others, three thousand six hundred years to increase a realm is not considered slow.

But for Lin Moyu, it is truly too slow.

From the time he started cultivating until now, it has only been three thousand-plus years.

Furthermore, the subsequent condensation of Dao Patterns will become slower and slower. Perhaps the next realm will take five thousand years, then ten thousand years, twenty thousand years…

Lin Moyu naturally does not want to cultivate so slowly, so he must go look for various opportunities to speed up his cultivation.

Three days later, Grand Elder Jin Lan came to the courtyard again.

Seeing Grand Elder Jin Lan this time, her spirit and energy were completely different from before, and her face was beaming with joy.

No longer troubled by injuries and never needing to take medicine again, this was a huge blessing for her. And all of this was thanks to Lin Moyu.

Grand Elder Jin Lan came before Lin Moyu, "Sir, Jin Lan has come to beg for tea again…"

Lin Moyu smiled, "Then sit down and drink."

Grand Elder Jin Lan said, "This time, let me brew the tea. When I traveled through the human race, I learned how to brew tea."

For a top expert of the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable to brew tea for oneself, if it were anyone else, they would have been flattered.

But Lin Moyu didn't feel anything at all. Let alone Grand Elder Jin Lan, even if the Demon Emperor personally brewed tea for him, at most he would just be polite with a few words.

Grand Elder Jin Lan's movements were slightly unfamiliar; after all, she rarely did such things.

While brewing tea, Grand Elder Jin Lan asked, "Sir, the Clan Leader sent a message back earlier. The Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury will open tomorrow."

Lin Moyu gave an 'oh' sound, "Then when do we set off?"

Grand Elder Jin Lan said, "In half a day. No need to go too early; going early is just waiting around. There are too many people; if we arrive too early, we will be gawked at."

"The Clan Leader already went over a few days ago to make some preparations."

The Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury has ten thousand quotas every time it opens. The ten royal clans take half of them, and the remaining half is for other clans to divide.

Some weak clans only get a few quotas. Those clans are too weak to even have a Dao Venerable in their clan.

They simply sell the quotas directly to make a profit out of thin air.

And the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce buys quotas every year, and the price they give is quite fair.

After receiving the quotas, the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce resells them. The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce's business spans the entire Origin Continent, and their customers for quotas include various clans.

Therefore, when the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury opens, people from various clans will come.

Regarding this, the demon race will not interfere.

For the demon race, the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury is not just a place for treasure hunting, but also a place for trials.

With the demon race's way of growing like raising poisonous insects, they are not afraid of slaughter at all. Once you enter the Secret Realm, you are responsible for your own life and death.

Lin Moyu said, "In these few days, is there any news about the four war blades?"

Grand Elder Jin Lan nodded slightly, "There is, but because the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury is about to open, the Clan Leader plans to deal with this matter after the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury."

"And for the clues to the treasure box that you are looking for, unfortunately, there is no news at the moment."

"However, the Clan Leader said he would try his best to inquire. This time going to the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury, the clan leaders and elders of the other royal clans will also come. At that time, the Clan Leader will go and ask. If there is news, he will definitely tell you, Sir."

Lin Moyu smiled, "Clan Leader Jin Mie has been thoughtful."

Grand Elder Jin Lan smiled, "You are too polite. Compared to what you have done, these things are nothing."

Chapter 3100: The Third Ancestor Even Makes Money from the Dead

Half a day later, Grand Elder Jin Lan took Lin Moyu to the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury.

Grand Elder Jin Lan used the origin spirit vein under Purple Gold City to teleport, instantly teleporting millions of miles to reach the edge of the Golden Lion Clan's territory.

Lin Moyu was a little surprised. He knew there was an origin spirit vein under Purple Gold City, and it was an origin spirit vein of a very high grade, estimated to be Tier 8.

Generally speaking, the origin spirit vein is refined by the clan leader, and only the clan leader can use it for teleportation.

He didn't expect that Grand Elder Jin Lan could also use the origin spirit vein to teleport, and directly teleport millions of miles.

Being able to extend for millions of miles indeed confirmed Lin Moyu's guess that this origin spirit vein was indeed Tier 8.

Grand Elder Jin Lan explained, "In our demon race, the origin spirit veins are refined by the clan leader and the elders together, so I can also use the origin spirit vein for teleportation. The day you destroyed the Red Flame Divine Eagle Clan, the reason I was able to arrive so quickly was also because of the origin spirit vein."

Lin Moyu smiled, "I've heard of this method of multiple people refining an origin spirit vein together for the first time. I've learned something new."

Grand Elder Jin Lan said, "This is the method passed down by the Demon Emperor, and it is indeed very useful."

It turned out to be passed down by the Demon Emperor, which Lin Moyu could understand.

This method poses no threat to the Demon Emperor himself while enhancing the strength of the demon race; why not do it?

Grand Elder Jin Lan waved her hand, manifesting a giant golden lion. She stood on the lion and invited Lin Moyu, "Sir, please come up."

Lin Moyu landed on the giant golden lion, and the giant golden lion immediately turned into a streak of golden light, shooting away into the distance.

Lin Moyu said, "It is always said that the demon race has no flying magic treasures. I see that this method of manifesting the Dao True Body is no slower than a flying magic treasure."

Grand Elder Jin Lan said, "This is also passed down by the Demon Emperor. We condense a clone, and then manifest the Dao True Body through the clone. It can be used as a magic treasure when traveling, and it can also help us when fighting. Although its strength is slightly weaker, it is still a helper."

Lin Moyu smiled, "The Demon Emperor indeed has good methods."

The Demon Emperor is in a high position, and he doesn't just do nothing.

He has actually done quite a lot for the demon race. Just the secret techniques passed down are numerous, and these secret techniques have greatly enhanced the strength of the demon race.

Coupled with the Demon Emperor's own strength and the demon race's philosophy of respecting the strong, it is not hard to imagine why the Demon Emperor has his current status.

The golden lion flew millions of miles, arriving at the northwest corner of the Northern Continent, where the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury is located.

When they were still one hundred thousand miles away from the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury, Lin Moyu had already felt a powerful aura of war.

This is a special aura that can only be possessed in a battlefield.
