Chapter 2529

The Third Ancestor would sell it, and at the same time, allow Xiahou Yuan to break through. Xiahou Yuan would naturally use the Dao Pattern method to break through.

Unlike others, though others would not know, the Third Ancestor was a shrewd businessman.

He did things as if conducting business; everything was calculated very clearly, and there were basically no loopholes.

Lin Moyu raised his teacup. "Then this junior will use tea to replace wine, wishing Senior Xiahou success in condensing a Dao Pattern."

Chapter 3204: Ancient Buddha Qingdeng, Outer Sky Ruins

Breaking through into the Great Dao Realm. Xiahou Yuan also raised his teacup. "Then I shall accept your auspicious words."

"Mr. Lin!"

With the Great Dao in sight, even the usually serious Xiahou Yuan had learned to joke, occasionally saying "Mr. Lin," which left Lin Moyu feeling helpless.

However, gradually, Lin Moyu had gotten used to it and no longer retorted.

The two chatted for a while before Lin Moyu bid farewell and left. After Lin Moyu departed, Xiahou Yuan's courtyard was suddenly enveloped by an invisible force, and immediately after, an array was activated, completely isolating the courtyard from the outside world.

Lu Lian appeared beside Lin Moyu. "Xiahou Yuan has entered seclusion." Lin Moyu nodded slightly.

"Senior Xiahou was just waiting for me to return; otherwise, he would have entered seclusion long ago." After Xiahou Yuan handed Lillian over to him, he then entered seclusion. Actually, he could have handed the dao crystal to the Third Ancestor or Lu Lian to pass on.

But that wouldn't be Xiahou Yuan. Things he promised personally, he had to do personally.

Lin Moyu greatly admired Xiahou Yuan's character, and he also believed that Xiahou Yuan would definitely be able to condense a Dao Pattern.

Walking on the correct path, compared to the ancestors of other sects, Xiahou Yuan's future was far broader than theirs. Originally, Lin Moyu wanted to give Xiahou Yuan some dao crystal to help him condense a Dao Pattern.

However, Xiahou Yuan refused. It turned out the Third Ancestor had already prepared the dao crystal for him, which made sense.

Although dao crystal was precious, with the Third Ancestor's ability, he could always obtain some.

Lin Moyu said to Lu Lian, "Let's go see the Third Ancestor." Lu Lian nodded.

She directly activated the teleportation to where the Third Ancestor was, and once again arrived at the mysterious space where the Third Ancestor resided.

It was not Lin Moyu's first time here, but this visit felt completely different from before, due to a different level of soul.

It gave Lin Moyu a different feeling, allowing him to see many things he couldn't see before. First was the flow of time.

In the space where the Third Ancestor resided, the flow of time was different from the real world. Lin Moyu had known this before, but at that time, he only felt that the time flow was different; as for how much of a difference there was, he couldn't feel it. This time, he could feel the flow of time in the Third Ancestor's space.

It was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, very chaotic. When fast, it could be three to five times faster than the real world. When slow, it could be three to five times slower. This rate was constantly changing.

It was not fixed, generally presenting a chaotic state. For an existence like the Third Ancestor in the Great Dao Realm, time had no meaning. As long as there were no accidents, he was immortal.

Why he stayed here, Lin Moyu didn't understand at first, but now he finally knew a little.

The Third Ancestor should be adapting, adapting to the changes in time, with the goal of going to the Soul Void.

Lin Moyu guessed that the Third Ancestor's ultimate goal was the Soul Void.

Many in the Great Dao Realm would go to the Soul Void, and every Great Dao Realm individual had their own methods; the Third Ancestor seemed to be no exception.

Lin Moyu bowed to the Third Ancestor. "Greetings, Third Ancestor." The Third Ancestor chuckled.

"Are all matters finished?" Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Considered half finished."

"It's not like you don't know what I'm looking for." The Third Ancestor said, "You really are persistent."

Lin Moyu said, "There's no way to give up; everyone has their own path to walk."

"Isn't the Third Ancestor also preparing?" The Third Ancestor's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu also looked at the Third Ancestor with a smile. The big and small old foxes were speaking in riddles like this. After a moment, Lin Moyu asked.

"Are those Dao Venerables in the Chamber of Commerce all right?" The Third Ancestor nodded.

"Thanks to you, they have all recovered." Lin Moyu smiled.

"It's good that they've recovered. I wonder why the Third Ancestor called me here; are there any new instructions?"

The Third Ancestor said, "This ancestor is a businessman; naturally, I'm looking for you to do business."

Lin Moyu smiled. "Alright, please speak, Third Ancestor."

The Third Ancestor said, "I will get straight to the point. I want your ice-fire dao stone."

Lin Moyu had long guessed this. What was the Third Ancestor prepared to trade? To trade for an ice-fire dao stone, it must be something of equal value. Ordinary trinkets were not something the Third Ancestor would take out, and Lin Moyu wouldn't look at them anyway. The Third Ancestor said,

"I already know the exact location of the item you are looking for. It is in the Buddha Kingdom of Ancient Buddha Qingdeng."

Lin Moyu frowned slightly. He knew Ancient Buddha Qingdeng; that was a Nine-Wheel Ancient Buddha.

And he had reached the Nine-Wheel stage many years ago. This Ancient Buddha was very low-key and rarely appeared.

He established the Qingdeng Buddha Kingdom, and those who usually appeared were some Ancient Buddhas under his seat. "Is there no more specific location within Ancient Buddha Qingdeng's Buddha Kingdom?" Lin Moyu pressed. The Third Ancestor said,

"Is this not specific enough?"

Lin Moyu smiled. "But even if I know it's in Ancient Buddha Qingdeng's hands, I can't just snatch it from Ancient Buddha Qingdeng, right? That's a Nine-Wheel Ancient Buddha. Fighting him is very troublesome."

"And relying solely on this news to trade for an ice-fire dao stone doesn't seem enough."

The Third Ancestor didn't believe a single word Lin Moyu said. "Of course, I'm not asking you to snatch it. You can trade. I have a Buddhist treasure here; you can take it and trade with Ancient Buddha Qingdeng for the hell fragment."

"This news plus the Buddhist treasure should be enough to trade for an ice-fire dao stone." As the Third Ancestor spoke, he took out a Buddhist treasure. This was a seven-story pagoda, also called a Buddha pagoda.

Buddhist treasures in the shape of pagodas were the most common in the Buddhist Clan; many Buddhas liked to use pagoda-shaped magical treasures.

Lin Moyu looked at this Buddha pagoda. The pagoda emitted precious light, and the pagoda body was shrouded in dense mist. Bursts of Buddha light shone from within the pagoda. This should be a Dao Venerable 9th Realm Buddhist treasure, but it seemed somewhat damaged.

"It has now fallen to the Dao Venerable 8th Realm," the Third Ancestor said. "Good eye."

"This pagoda is named the seven-treasure exquisite pagoda. If you take it to trade, Ancient Buddha Qingdeng will definitely agree."

A magical treasure that had fallen in grade, plus a piece of news, was still not worth an ice-fire dao stone. Lin Moyu said with some doubt, "Will Ancient Buddha Qingdeng trade with this pagoda?"

"The value of a hell fragment goes without saying; a Dao Venerable 7th Realm Buddhist treasure is likely not enough."

The Third Ancestor said, "Previously, at the Demon Emperor's place, I gave you a Dao Venerable 7th Realm lotus magical treasure. Do you remember?"

Lin Moyu said, "Naturally, I remember."

He took out the lotus magical treasure. He had tried to have the Buddha Kingdom Lich fuse with this magical treasure, but it did not succeed. Although both were Buddhist treasures, the lotus magical treasure and the Buddha Kingdom Lich seemed to not be of the same lineage.

The Third Ancestor said, "Put the Buddha pagoda and the lotus magical treasure together." Lin Moyu followed instructions.

After the two magical treasures were put together, the lotus magical treasure instantly turned into ten thousand points of glimmer, merging into the pagoda. The pagoda shone brightly; it looked like its realm hadn't changed, but it had become more complete.

This Buddhist treasure was extremely extraordinary; it was not an ordinary Buddhist treasure. It looked like Dao Venerable 7th Realm, but it was not as simple as the Dao Venerable 7th Realm. The Third Ancestor said, "Now, if you give the seven-treasure exquisite pagoda to Ancient Buddha Qingdeng, he will definitely trade." Lin Moyu had already realized that the Third Ancestor had been calculating against him back at the Demon Emperor's place. What an old fox! He thought to himself.

Lin Moyu said, "Fine, let's trade!" Saying this, Lin Moyu very readily threw an ice-fire dao stone to the Third Ancestor. A priceless transaction was completed in just a few words. Lin Moyu asked, "Are there any other trades?"

The Third Ancestor said, "Naturally, there are. I still want ice-fire dao stones."

Lin Moyu nodded. "Then please name your price." The Third Ancestor said,

"I can take you on a trip to the Outer Sky Ruins." It was Lin Moyu's first time hearing of the Outer Sky Ruins, but just hearing the name, he seemed to have guessed what kind of place it was. He continued to ask, "Then I will trouble you, Third Ancestor. Please explain the Outer Sky Ruins." The Third Ancestor directly threw over a jade tablet containing information. "Read it yourself. I'm too lazy to speak." Lin Moyu didn't mind and checked the information in the jade tablet. Soon, he had absorbed the information in the jade tablet and knew what the Outer Sky Ruins were.

The Outer Sky Ruins were the prehistoric battlefield left behind by the former Origin Catastrophe. The great war back then was extremely intense. Many in the Great Dao Realm died in battle, and countless in the Dao Venerable Realm died as well, so many of their legacies were left in the Outer Sky Ruins.

To go to the Outer Sky Ruins, one needed to be at least in the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm; even those in the Dao Venerable 9th Realm couldn't go. The Third Ancestor said he could take him up. Although the price was as high as one ice-fire dao stone, after pondering for a moment, Lin Moyu still agreed.

Chapter 3205: Third Ancestor, have you never tried to make it acknowledge you as master?

Outer Sky Ruins. Lin Moyu developed a hint of anticipation. After agreeing, he very readily threw an ice-fire dao stone to the Third Ancestor. He was not afraid that the Third Ancestor would renege on the debt; as the biggest businessman on the Origin Continent, the Third Ancestor's integrity was still worth trusting.

The Third Ancestor happily put away the ice-fire dao stone. "Good, I will make some preparations. When I am ready, I will take you there. You also need to make some preparations." Lin Moyu asked, "What do I need to prepare?"

"Cultivation level, you need to be at least at the Dao Venerable 4th Realm. Even if you can already manifest a Dao True Body, it's useless. Realm is realm, battle power is battle power; these are two different things." The Third Ancestor's tone carried a bit of seriousness.

Lin Moyu naturally understood this principle. Some things were different in the eyes of the Great Dao. No matter how strong his battle power was, or how high his soul realm was, if his cultivation level wasn't there, it wasn't there. This was a hard requirement. Fortunately, he was not far from the Dao Venerable 4th Realm; the fifty-ninth Dao Pattern was already half condensed. Even without any fortuitous encounters, in less than fourteen years, he would be able to advance to the Dao Venerable 4th Realm.

Lin Moyu said, "Alright, when I reach the Dao Venerable 4th Realm, you will take me to the Outer Sky Ruins. However, I would like to know some information about the Outer Sky Ruins first." The Third Ancestor threw over another jade tablet. "I had already prepared it for you." Lin Moyu chuckled. The Third Ancestor was indeed the most excellent businessman.
