Chapter 2499

The voice of Dao Lord Wentian echoed from within the Bone Hell. Lin Moyu said, "As you wish!"

The next second, countless Hell Fierce Spirits charged toward Dao Lord Wentian.

Chapter 3161: Secrets of the Shattered Hell

Dao Lord Wentian had entered the game himself.

By experiencing the Bone Hell, Lin Moyu guessed his intentions from this request.

Recalling the first time he met Dao Lord Wentian, when Dao Lord Wentian checked his experiences through the General's Seal, he had looked at him with a strange expression. Before and after that look, Dao Lord Wentian's attitude toward him had undergone some subtle changes, changes that were very delicate.

So small that it couldn't be smaller; Dao Lord Wentian's control over his own emotions was extremely powerful, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to sense it at all.

However, it had still been keenly captured by him. At the time, Lin Moyu had felt strange, not knowing what Dao Lord Wentian had seen. Now he understood; Dao Lord Wentian had seen the Bone Hell. Lin Moyu remembered.

He had only used the Bone Hell once at that time, and it was that single instance that had attracted Dao Lord Wentian's attention.

However, this time in the Boundary Land, he had used the Bone Hell time and time again, and many times it was at full power.

Exposing the Bone Hell completely and thoroughly, the entire process was recorded within the General's Seal; Lin Moyu was very clear about this.

He hadn't intentionally avoided it. This time, Dao Lord Wentian saw it even more clearly, yet the result was still that he wanted to enter the Bone Hell himself.

He even told him to attack with full force. Lin Moyu looked at Dao Lord Wentian, who was inside the Bone Hell; he seemed to be confirming something.

It seemed that the Bone Hell and the Hell of the past really were connected.

Dao Lord Wentian had gone through that great war and must have seen the real Hell before. Perhaps he would know some information about Hell.

Lin Moyu was calculating in his heart, wanting to coax some words out of Dao Lord Wentian regarding the real Hell of the past.

Lin Moyu had his own guesses, but guesses were, after all, just guesses. He had asked the Three Ancestors.

The Three Ancestors were also vague because they had never seen the real Hell, only heard of it.

The Three Ancestors were even filled with fear toward Hell; it seemed to be an unimaginably terrifying place. Even regarding hell fragments, the Three Ancestors were extremely wary.

The reactions of Dao Lord Wentian and the Three Ancestors were completely different. Lin Moyu guessed that Dao Lord Wentian must have seen the real Hell.

The Hell Fierce Spirits were crazily gnawing at Dao Lord Wentian, but they were all blocked outside by an invisible force. This force was extremely powerful.

The Hell Fierce Spirits couldn't gnaw through it at all. As they bit down, Lin Moyu's heart stirred.

The Nether Black Pool spun rapidly, and the Nether Black Dragon rushed out, opening its large mouth.

It took a bite toward Dao Lord Wentian. Boom!

The Bone Hell shook violently without stopping.

The Nether Black Dragon was likewise shaken away by an invisible force; this bite of its had not exerted any effect.

Dao Lord Wentian still stood there, motionless. Lin Moyu walked into the Bone Hell.

Arriving in front of Dao Lord Wentian, he asked, "Senior, is there something wrong with this technique of mine?"

Dao Lord Wentian looked up, gazing into the depths of Hell, at the Gate of Hell hidden within the flames and black aura.

He did not speak. Lin Moyu knew that Dao Lord Wentian did not want to say, but he still would not give up.

"Senior, this junior guesses that this technique should be related to the Hell of the past. I wonder if Senior knows about the real Hell of the past?"

This sentence carried three parts of probing; actually, he shouldn't have asked. But if he didn't ask, Lin Moyu felt somewhat unwilling. Having finally encountered someone who might have seen Hell, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?

Dao Lord Wentian continued to look at the Gate of Hell, his voice drifting out lightly, "Why would you think that I would know?"

Lin Moyu said, "Judging from Senior's reaction, this junior guesses that Senior should know about the real Hell, and perhaps even have been there."

Dao Lord Wentian let out a soft laugh, his gaze revealing a hint of nostalgia. "That's right. This old man has indeed been there, but only that one time. Although it was only once, the memory is unimaginably profound; I will not forget it in my lifetime, especially this Gate of Hell."

Lin Moyu said, "I ask Senior to enlighten me." Dao Lord Wentian shook his head gently.

"You have questions, but these questions all need to be unraveled by yourself; no one can tell you what the real Hell is like. Although this old man has been there, the place I went to was only the edge, and I only saw the Gate of Hell from afar."

"The rest of the information was actually learned from other places. The only thing this old man can tell you is that the Gate of Hell is the true core of the entire Hell. If the Gate of Hell is incomplete, then Hell is incomplete."

"You feel that your technique is related to Hell; looking at it now, it is indeed related."

"But exactly how much of a connection there is, you have to find the answer yourself."

Dao Lord Wentian clearly knew, but he just wouldn't say, playing a riddle with him. Perhaps he really couldn't say.

The history of the past had buried too many secrets; his strength was not enough. He was not qualified to know these things. Knowing them would not do him any good, only adding to his troubles.

Lin Moyu was very smart and naturally would not pursue the questioning. He changed to another question.

"This junior also wants to restore the Gate of Hell, but to restore the Gate of Hell, one can only do so by fusing hell fragments. However, hell fragments are very hard to find; up to now, this junior has only found two."

The look of reminiscence in Dao Lord Wentian's eyes became even more intense. "Back then, when we heard the news of Hell shattering, we were also extremely shocked."

"At that time, some Dao Lords had gone to search for hell fragments, but the news received later was that Hell had shattered very thoroughly. Most of it had already turned to dust; only a few fragments remained. Some arrived on the Origin Continent."

"And some went missing." Lin Moyu asked curiously, "As far as this junior knows, Hell was shattered in a great war back then. This junior guesses that the Outer Domain Celestial God shattered Hell."

Dao Lord Wentian shook his head. "Not necessarily. Based on our understanding of the Celestial God Realm, those guys should not have the ability to shatter Hell."

Lin Moyu was startled. "Could it be the Black Blood World?"

Dao Lord Wentian still shook his head, indicating he couldn't be sure. It seemed that even Dao Lord Wentian didn't know the answer to this question.

If it wasn't the Outer Domain Celestial God and the Black Blood World that shattered Hell, then who could it be? Could it be that an even more powerful force had intervened in that prehistoric war?

Lin Moyu asked, "After Hell shattered back then, did Senior go to search for fragments?"

He could tell that Dao Lord Wentian regarded Hell highly, which was why he asked this. Dao Lord Wentian shook his head.

"The situation back then was special, so we didn't go searching. However, some Dao Lords did go to look. But whether they found any in the end, we are not clear."

"But according to this old man's speculation, there should still be some fragments that landed on the Origin Continent. If you put in some effort, you should be able to find them."

Lin Moyu said, "This junior will try his best to search. To not hide it from Senior, this junior once had an extravagant hope of turning the Bone Hell into the real Hell."

Dao Lord Wentian said meaningfully, "I hope you can do it. This old man also wants to see the real Gate of Hell once more."

Lin Moyu's expression was firm. "I definitely will."

The stone room suddenly began to shake. Dao Lord Wentian said, "The Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury is about to end. Constrained by the rules, this old man cannot enter the Origin Continent again for the time being."

"You should also not enter the Boundary Land for a while. This old man also didn't expect you to be able to swallow dao fragments; a guy in the Blood Rat Realm has been awakened."

"If you go again, I'm afraid there will be danger."

Lin Moyu was startled. Before leaving the Boundary Land, Dao Lord Wentian had once looked toward the direction of the Blood Rat Realm. Clearly, he had seen something.

Chapter 3162: Actually Became a General

Lin Moyu asked, "Isn't it said that those in the Great Dao Realm cannot attack there?"

Dao Lord Wentian shook his head. "It's not that they absolutely cannot, but they have to pay a huge price."

"But you went too far. You swallowed quite a few dao fragments. If you were allowed to swallow more, perhaps the Red Fire Great Dao would never be able to recover."

"This is something they cannot tolerate. Even if they have to pay a huge price, they will find a way to kill you. The Red Fire Great Dao is one of the foundations of the Blood Rat Realm; the Blood Rat Realm would never allow anything to happen to the Red Fire Great Dao."

Lin Moyu doing this was equivalent to digging up their ancestral graves; who could tolerate that?

Lin Moyu asked, "Then how long should this junior wait before going back in? The Boundary Land is a good place. It can allow the Bone Hell to grow rapidly. Apart from there, Lin Moyu hadn't found a place more suitable for the Bone Hell to level up."

Dao Lord Wentian extended five fingers. "At least five years. If you go again after five years, this old man will have a sense of it. At that time, this old man will go with you."

"If the other party really attacks you, with this old man present, I can at least keep you safe."

Lin Moyu nodded. "Then I will trouble Senior."

At this moment, the shaking of the stone room became even more intense. The time for the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury to close was drawing nearer.

Dao Lord Wentian pointed a finger. A ray of light fell upon Lin Moyu's General's Seal. The General's Seal instantly grew a size larger, and the 'six' on the seal became 'five'.

Lin Moyu was officially promoted to a Fifth-Rank General. At the same time, Dao Lord Wentian threw out one hundred dao crystals and sent them before Lin Moyu.

"This is what you deserve. Although dao crystals are just powder of the Great Dao, their effect on cultivation is excellent. It is second only to the Great Dao Reward. This thing is not common; use a little, and there is a little less."

Lin Moyu put away the dao crystals and joked, "If I grind dao fragments into powder, can they turn into dao crystals?"

Dao Lord Wentian was amused by Lin Moyu's whimsical idea. "Hard to say. You can try; what if it works?"

Lin Moyu nodded very seriously. "I'll try it next time."

The stone room collapsed amidst the shaking, vanishing into smoke. Lin Moyu bowed to Dao Lord Wentian.

He could feel that Dao Lord Wentian held no malice toward him. Although Dao Lord Wentian also had his own selfish motives in sending him to the Boundary Land and had other purposes,

regardless, he did not want to harm him, and he had also given him sufficient benefits. Therefore, Lin Moyu was still grateful to Dao Lord Wentian in his heart.

After all, it was perfectly normal for everyone to have their own motives in doing anything, as long as they didn't harm others. If it was like Dao Lord Wentian, then it could be called a win-win.

The scene before his eyes became blurry. A powerful force enveloped him, sending him outside the Secret Realm. The gate of the Secret Realm had completely closed. To open it again, one would have to wait another thousand years.

The General's Seal was still at his waist; it had become dim and lusterless. It was not as brilliant as it was in the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury.

Lin Moyu could sense that the seal was absorbing power. After one hundred days, it would be able to take him to the Boundary Land.

Noisy sounds rang in his ears. The voices of nearly ten thousand Demon clansmen merged together, sounding like thunder.

Having grown accustomed to the quiet in the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury, suddenly hearing such boisterous sounds, Lin Moyu was somewhat moved for a moment.

Quiet and noise both had their own flavors. Being in one environment for a long time, sometimes one would miss the other. This fickle way of thinking was perhaps human instinct. He himself…
