Chapter 2513

Steps began to appear ahead, and the Azure Cloud Path began to climb upwards. The moment he stepped onto the first step, Lin Moyu smiled. "It's just as I thought; it's testing one's luck."

Chapter 3181: Black Blood Sword Saint

No matter the era, those who can climb the Azure Cloud Path are all people with strong luck. If their luck is insufficient, they cannot go far. They either reach their limits early or, at some point, perish and dissipate. For every cultivator, luck is incredibly important. An origin spirit vein can suppress luck, and building one's forces upon an origin spirit vein is also for the purpose of gathering luck, allowing one's own luck to constantly strengthen, ultimately allowing one to rise straight into the clouds.

In Lin Moyu's view, this is what the Azure Cloud Path means. Entering the mist, steps appeared one after another; this was the true Azure Cloud Path. Lin Moyu could feel his luck being absorbed by the Azure Cloud Path. After the Azure Cloud Path absorbed the luck, it would evolve into steps. Each step allowed one to stand firmly; if one's luck was insufficient, the step would become void, and one would step into thin air. Therefore, every Celestial Fox Clan member who could walk to the end and finally gain the recognition of the Ancestral Spirit was not necessarily strong in power, but rather, their luck was very strong. In the Celestial Fox Clan, this simply meant they had very good luck.

This was the final screening in the ancestral land, relying entirely on luck. It also proved that the Heavenly Fox Ancestor of the past had mastered the Great Dao of Luck; otherwise, he could not have created this layout. Lin Moyu told Su Li his discovery. Su Li was incredibly surprised to hear this. They only knew about luck and had never thought that behind it lay the Great Dao of Luck. These two levels were vastly different. What their Celestial Fox Clan saw was merely an insignificant surface layer. Lin Moyu had seen right through to the essence, letting Su Li see a whole new world.

"Your bloodline should be capable of comprehending the Great Dao of Luck," Lin Moyu said. "The human race has a saying: 'Those near the water tower get the moon first.' The Celestial Fox Clan has more advantages in this regard than any other race. Some things may require the efforts of many generations to produce results. If you wish to restore the glory of your ancestors and draw closer to the Heavenly Fox Ancestor, some things must be done, no matter how difficult."

Su Li nodded. "Su Li will keep Mr. Lin's teachings in mind. When I return, I will convey Mr. Lin's words to the Clan Leader."

"This Azure Cloud Path has been polluted," Lin Moyu said. "The requirements for luck are much higher than before. If you walk normally, you won't be able to make it up."

"Then what should we do?" Su Li asked immediately.

"Don't rush. Let's keep walking first," Lin Moyu said. He continued to climb upwards. Normally, the Azure Cloud Path had 10,000 steps from the moment they appeared. After crossing the 10,000 steps, one could meet the Ancestral Spirit. The Azure Cloud Path hadn't changed; what had changed were some of the rules within it. Now, for every step taken, the luck required was much greater than before. Accumulating step by step, to walk the entire Azure Cloud Path, one would need to consume at least three times as much luck as before. According to this requirement, no one in the Celestial Fox Clan could reach the top. Even the old Clan Leader Su Mou couldn't do it.

When they reached the 6,000th step, Lin Moyu stopped. "If you take one more step forward, you will step into thin air."

Su Li did not doubt Lin Moyu's words, nor did he try. "Then what should we do?"

Lin Moyu did not answer. "You can try it first."

Su Li stretched out a foot and tried to step onto the step ahead. Even though the step was clearly visible to his eyes, his foot landed on nothing. He was shocked and quickly pulled his foot back.

"Perhaps you could have finished the Azure Cloud Path in the past," Lin Moyu said, "but now, you can only go this far. The Azure Cloud Path is very magical. It looks like everyone is walking together, but everyone is stepping on their own unique steps. The rules within the Azure Cloud Path absorb each person's luck, and the steps formed can only be stepped on by that person. You could say that the steps are composed of one's own luck."

Lin Moyu walked up two steps. His luck was far superior to Su Li's, so he naturally had no problems. "Now, I'll give you two choices. First, you go back, and I will walk the rest of the way alone. Second, you continue to follow me, but there may be danger ahead, and I cannot guarantee your safety."

Lin Moyu gave Su Li two choices. Lin Moyu was confident in his strength; he could certainly protect himself no matter what, but he wasn't entirely sure if he could protect Su Li. After all, they were facing guys from the Black Blood World. Lin Moyu didn't know how strong they were, but the fact that the Black Blood World could join forces with the Celestial God Realm to invade the Origin Continent showed that their strength would not be weaker than an Outer Domain Celestial God.

Su Li did not hesitate at all, his expression resolute. "If Mr. Lin can take Su Li across, Su Li wants to see with his own eyes what kind of enemy we are facing. Even if it means death, Su Li is willing."

Lin Moyu smiled. "Fine. This is your own choice; everyone must be responsible for their own choices."

As he spoke, a hazy path appeared at Lin Moyu's feet; the Great Dao of Luck had emerged. Seeing this hazy path, Su Li felt his heart race, and his soul throbbed. He exclaimed, "My bloodline moved! My bloodline moved!"

When Su Li saw the Great Dao of Luck, his own bloodline actually resonated with it. This resonance was very weak, but it was real. The feeling was very authentic. Su Li seemed to hear a call from the deepest part of his bloodline. At this moment, he completely understood what Lin Moyu had said. Their bloodline was very close to the Great Dao of Luck. Their Heavenly Fox Ancestor must have mastered the Great Dao of Luck. The Ancestor had already paved the way for them, but they, the descendants, were too useless. They couldn't even comprehend the Great Dao of Luck, and they started to become complacent after just gaining a little superficial benefit. In reality, it was worth nothing.

"This is the Great Dao of Luck," Lin Moyu said. "Your Ancestor should have also comprehended it. You can feel it carefully. I will use the Great Dao of Luck to increase your luck, but this increase is temporary and cannot change anything. It is only enough for you to finish the Azure Cloud Path."

As he spoke, Lin Moyu pointed his finger, and an invisible force rose from the Great Dao of Luck and landed on Su Li. Su Li felt as if something had been added to his body, but he couldn't quite explain it. He suddenly saw that the luck on Lin Moyu's body had transformed into dragons, changing from one to three. In other words, Lin Moyu's luck had also increased by at least several times. If someone had told him before that luck could transform into multiple dragons, he wouldn't have believed it even if he died. But now, the facts were right in front of him. Lin Moyu had increased Su Li's luck.

"Let's go. Don't keep the Ancestral Spirit waiting for too long." Su Li came back to his senses and instinctively took a step forward. The step that he had previously stepped into thin air on was now stepped on firmly. The two climbed upwards again. With the blessing of the Great Dao of Luck, the last 4,000 steps were completed without any obstacles. Above the steps, the mist dissipated, revealing a cyan world. Before them was a hilly region, with most of the area covered in cyan. It was covered in small cyan grass, seemingly pregnant with vibrant vitality, but the other half was occupied by black. Cyan and black, each occupying half. They were clearly resisting each other. Where the two colors intersected, massive forces collided with each other, just like two powerful armies constantly charging at each other, the terrifying aftermath of the collision…

Chapter 3182: What Is His Origin?

…was shooting across this land. Su Li whispered, "What powerful strength. Is this the invader?"

Lin Moyu nodded. "Yes. This is the invader." He looked at the black world. In the center of that world, a Man in Black was standing in mid-air. He held a long, narrow sharp sword in his hand, and drops of black liquid were dripping from the tip of the sword like blood.

This cyan land was an incredibly sacred existence in the mouths of the Celestial Fox Clan members. They called this land Qingqiu. It is said that the Heavenly Fox Ancestor cultivated and attained the Dao on the land of Qingqiu. After attaining the Dao, Qingqiu became the ancestral land of the Celestial Fox Clan. Now, the land of Qingqiu had been half occupied by darkness.

Rage surged in Su Li's eyes, filled with murderous intent. This feeling came not only from the pollution of the ancestral land but also from the Great Dao, from the darkness of the Black Blood World. It was despised by the Great Dao. When Su Li saw them, a sense of disgust naturally emerged from the depths of his soul. Especially when seeing the Black Blood Sword Saint, he almost impulsively wanted to kill him. A low roar came from his mouth, and powerful forces rose from his body.

Lin Moyu gently patted his shoulder. "Hold fast to your Dao Heart. Do not be confused by external things. Even the Great Dao should not become your inner demon."

Lin Moyu's words were like a great bell, like a thunderclap, exploding in Su Li's Soul World. Su Li immediately woke up, realizing he had just lost his composure, and immediately held fast to his Dao Heart, forcibly suppressing various distracting thoughts.

Lin Moyu sighed softly. "The Dao Heart… it's too weak!" As he spoke, Lin Moyu flew towards the Black Blood Sword Saint. "Follow me. Don't get too far away!"

Su Li immediately followed. He knew that he might really face danger next. He could not be too far from Lin Moyu. A Dao Venerable 8th Realm expert actually needed the protection of a human at the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm. This scene was truly bizarre.

"What are you here for!" Suddenly, a majestic voice resounded through the heavens and earth. In the sky, a thousand-meter white fox appeared. The white fox had seven tails, its whole body snow-white, and it exuded a terrifying aura from head to toe, its cold eyes looking at Lin Moyu and Su Li.

Su Li trembled all over and immediately knelt down. "Celestial Fox Clan member Su Li pays respects to the Ancestral Spirit."

Lin Moyu cupped his hands and said, "Human Lin Moyu has met the Ancestral Spirit Senior."

As the Clan Leader of the Celestial Fox Clan, Su Mou only had six tails. It was said that their Ancestor had nine tails. The number of tails was an important symbol in the Celestial Fox Clan. The higher the cultivation realm and the purer the bloodline, the more tails one would have. If the Ancestral Spirit had seven tails, then his status…
