Chapter 2508

With that, Lin Moyu opened the entrance to the Rule World. Mist gave an "oh" and obediently slipped inside.

Next, Xiaoyue and Xiaowu also followed them back into the Rule World. Seeing the three of them return, the several Celestial Fox Clan Dao Venerables who had been following behind them…

…obviously breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Moyu thanked them, saying, "I have troubled you fellow Daoists these past few days."

The several of them repeatedly replied that it was no trouble. What a joke, this was an order issued by the Clan Leader himself.

Let alone ten days, even if it were much longer, they would have to endure it.

Lin Moyu turned to Clan Leader Su Mou and said, "Please lead the way, Clan Leader Su." Su Mou extended his hand in a welcoming gesture.

"After you, Mr. Lin." He led Lin Moyu and flew toward the inner city.

The ancestral land of the Celestial Fox Clan was not in Nine-Tailed City; it was located in a special space.

No one knew exactly where it was. Only through a special secret technique…

…could they establish a connection with the ancestral land, and then create a passage to enter it.

Clan Leader Su Mou brought Lin Moyu to a mountain peak in the inner city. This mountain peak looked no different from any other, with a palace towering upon it as well.

However, as Lin Moyu approached the mountain peak, he smelled a dense scent of blood. Clan Leader Su Mou led him into the palace.

The scent of blood instantly intensified several times. Inside the palace, there was a blood pool.

A full hundred Dao Venerables of the Celestial Fox Clan were surrounding the blood pool, pouring their own blood into it.

These Celestial Fox Clan Dao Venerables were all above the Fourth Realm, and their bloodlines were pure and powerful.

Needless to say, these people were all direct descendants. Clan Leader Su Mou explained,

"Only by using the bloodlines of direct descendants can we activate the secret technique and open the path to the ancestral land."

Lin Moyu expressed his understanding. There were countless secret techniques in the world, and those opened with blood were by no means few.

Chapter 3174: The Ancestral Land Occupied by Dead Silence

Clan Leader Su Mou waved his hand, and a Dao Venerable came to his side. "This is Su Li."

"He is my grandson, a Dao Venerable of the 8th Realm. He will enter the ancestral land with Mr. Lin this time."

"He will serve as a guide for Mr. Lin. Su Li has entered the ancestral land several times and has some understanding of it."

Furthermore, as Clan Leader Su Mou's biological grandson, he could be fully trusted. He was in the Dao Venerable 8th Realm…

…making him the most suitable candidate. Before the issue with the ancestral land was resolved, Clan Leader Su Mou did not dare to let anyone of the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable enter again.

Currently, there were only three cultivators of the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable left in the Celestial Fox Clan, and they could not afford any more losses. Su Li bowed to Lin Moyu, "Su Li greets Mr. Lin."

Lin Moyu said with a smile, "I will have to trouble Fellow Daoist Su Li this time." Su Li hastily replied,

"It is we who are troubling you, Mr. Lin. How could you call it a trouble? You are far too polite, Mr. Lin."

Lin Moyu looked at Clan Leader Su Mou. "During the time I am in the ancestral land, I must trouble you, Clan Leader,"

…to help me look for some more records. Additionally, I would like some historical records of the Origin Continent. Your clan's archives should be quite comprehensive.

"If possible, please give me a copy." Clan Leader Su Mou understood Lin Moyu's meaning. "Rest assured, Mr. Lin."

"I will have some people compile them right away." What Lin Moyu wanted was the historical records of the Origin Continent, which did not involve any secrets of the Celestial Fox Clan.

This kind of information could actually be purchased from the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce as well. Lin Moyu asking them for it…

…was merely to complement each other. No single party's records were fully comprehensive, and none were entirely accurate.

Only by combining information from multiple sources and cross-referencing them could one obtain a relatively accurate result.

The blood in the pool began to boil, and a powerful force erupted from it, shooting straight into the sky.

The blood surged to the top of the palace, where the ceiling burst with brilliant light, blocking the blood.

The blood continuously crashed against the palace, causing bursts of rumbling, and the space at the point of impact shattered layer by layer.

Along the blood, the space formed a passage. "Mr. Lin, please follow me!"

After Su Li spoke, he turned and took the lead in rushing into the passage. Lin Moyu took a step forward.

He followed Su Li into the passage. This path was not spacious, barely wide enough to accommodate the two of them.

In the spatial passage, there was a force constantly pushing them forward. That feeling…

…was somewhat similar to teleportation. Half a minute later, a light appeared before Lin Moyu's eyes.

The light instantly expanded, subsequently occupying his entire field of vision as his feet landed on solid ground.

This was a grassy plain, soft to the touch. As far as the eye could see…

…was a vast grassland with rolling hills, rising and falling in succession.

They stretched into the distance as if without end. A gentle breeze blew…

…carrying the fresh scent of green grass. If only there were some small animals…

…this would be a beautiful place. Unfortunately, there were no small animals here.

Even with green grass everywhere, Lin Moyu could still sense a faint aura of dead silence. It was recorded in the archives that Clan Leader Su Mou had given Lin Moyu…

…that this land was not always like this. In the past, the ancestral land also had living beings.

There were many small animals, but at some unknown point, they began to dwindle in number.

Until finally, they completely vanished. Su Li stood beside Lin Moyu and said, "The problem with the ancestral land seems to have worsened."

Lin Moyu asked, "When was the last time you came in?"

"What was the situation like back then?"

Su Li replied, "The last time I came in was about two thousand years ago."

"At that time, there were already no small animals in the ancestral land, but I could still feel that this grass…"

"…still had vitality. But this time, I feel only dead silence."

"Perhaps in another few thousand years, even this grassland will be gone." Lin Moyu casually made a vacuuming gesture with his hand.

A clump of grass was pulled out by its roots. It still looked like green grass, but its roots had already begun to rot.

Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "Perhaps, it won't even take a few thousand years."

Su Li said very sincerely, "I hope Mr. Lin can help us resolve the crisis of our ancestral land." Lin Moyu replied,

"I promised Clan Leader Su that I would do my best." Lin Moyu looked around.

No matter which direction he looked, the scenery was exactly the same, leaving him with no idea where to go.

Out of so many directions, only one was correct, while all other directions were wrong.

This was also the first trial after entering the ancestral land: finding the correct direction without any guidance.

They had to rely on luck to make a choice. Lin Moyu smiled and asked, "How did you do it in the past?"

Su Li said, "A long time ago, there was actually a method."

"We could observe the small animals. Whichever direction had more of them, we would go that way."

"But now, with no small animals left, we really can only rely on luck."

Lin Moyu shook his head. "Luck is indeed important, but sometimes…"

"…one must still look at the method. Luck is merely the icing on the cake." With a thought…

…the surrounding space distorted, and a large number of Skeleton Divine Generals flew out, scattering in all directions.

A topographical map quickly formed in Lin Moyu's mind. The Skeleton Divine Generals were numerous enough to cover all directions.

There was absolutely no need to gamble on luck. Su Li was stunned on the spot. "Are these Mr. Lin's puppets?"

Lin Moyu said, "You can think of them that way. Letting them scout the way…"

"…will allow us to find the correct path very quickly." Su Li was dazed. Originally, he had wanted to use his own experience to help Lin Moyu.

But now it seemed that it was not needed. The grassland was in a state of dead silence.

The Skeleton Divine Generals activated the Eye of the Undead, but they did not see a single living creature along the way. A moment later…

…Lin Moyu suddenly asked, "Is the correct path a valley?"

Su Li nodded hastily, "Yes, it is a valley."

"We call it the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, because there are many flowers in the valley." "Then that's it."

As Lin Moyu spoke, he flew forward, and Su Li quickly followed. They crossed the grassland…

…flying at least a hundred thousand miles before they saw the valley. The terrain of the valley was lower than the grassland…

…resembling a basin. Seen from afar, the entire valley looked like a giant beast crouching on the grassland.

The Skeleton Divine Generals stood before the valley, unable to enter. A force spread out from the valley…

…forming an invisible wall that blocked the way. From outside the valley, one could see…

…many flowers of various shapes inside, which was why it was called the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. This valley seemed like the end of the map…

…impossible to cross. In Lin Moyu's view, anyone could find the valley.

Even if the direction was wrong, they would eventually find it, it would just take more time.

Looking at the actual situation, it meant that those with good luck could find it accurately…

…while those whose luck was not good enough would eventually find it after searching a few more times.

The so-called first trial was not really a trial at all. Su Li looked at Lin Moyu with an admiring gaze.

"Mr. Lin is indeed extraordinary to have found the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers so easily." Lin Moyu replied,

"This is only the first step." Su Li immediately said, "The first step is always the hardest."

"I believe the subsequent challenges will not stump Mr. Lin either." The two of them arrived at the entrance of the valley, and Lin Moyu said,

"According to the records given by Clan Leader Su, to enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, one needs to nurture a flower."

Su Li nodded. "We call this flower the Flower of Destiny."

"Different Flowers of Destiny will also make the subsequent trials different." Lin Moyu said,

"Then if the Flowers of Destiny we nurture are different, will we be separated in the valley?"

Su Li said,

"Yes, the trials in the valley must be completed independently by each person."

"However, after passing through the valley, we will reunite. Let's go!"

Lin Moyu walked to the front of the valley and immediately encountered the invisible force within it. Following what was shown in the records, Lin Moyu…

…gently nudged his soul power to communicate with the valley. In the next moment…

…a flower that had not yet bloomed flew out of the valley and landed in his hand.

This flower was the Flower of Destiny. The Flower of Destiny would absorb his luck and then bloom.

Su Li explained, "This is the Flower of Destiny. It will absorb Mr. Lin's luck."

"The better the luck, the faster it will bloom—"

Chapter 3175: The Gap Between Eight Minutes and Ten Seconds

Su Li stopped halfway through his sentence.

He could no longer speak. The Flower of Destiny in Lin Moyu's hand had already bloomed brilliantly.

Fast, it was simply too fast. Lin Moyu asked,

"Is this enough?"

Su Li's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, and he muttered to himself,

"How can it be so fast?" A powerful cultivator of the Dao Venerable 8th Realm…

…was actually somewhat losing his composure at this moment. Although Su Li was startled by Lin Moyu's speed, he still reacted quickly.

He tried his best to remain calm. "Mr. Lin's luck is the strongest Su Li has ever seen in his life."

"For others to make the Flower of Destiny bloom, it takes ten minutes at the fastest, and half an hour at the slowest."
