Chapter 2532

Lin Moyu left Shang City alone. Outside Shang City, Lin Moyu stepped onto the cloud-piercing sword.

It shot off into the distance, its speed as fast as lightning, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

The speed of the cloud-piercing sword was astonishing, not a bit slower than those flight artifacts of the Dao Venerable 8th Realm. While flying,

the small cloud-piercing sword grew larger, reaching a length of ten meters and a width of over two meters.

Lin Moyu could sit steadily on it, and all the oncoming wind was sliced apart by the power of the cloud-piercing sword.

With the Big-Headed Artifact Spirit controlling the cloud-piercing sword, he didn't need to worry about it at all and could even divide his attention to do other things.

According to Big-Head, at its peak, the speed of the cloud-piercing sword was even faster than flight artifacts of the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable.

Furthermore, the cloud-piercing sword was an offensive-type artifact, and its attack power was equally formidable. With the speed of the cloud-piercing sword,

he would be able to return to Yudao City in less than three days. This trip to the Western Continent was not safe, so it was better not to bring the girls along.

Finding a place in Yudao City to settle Clan Leader Hun Yi and the others, Lin Moyu thought about what he needed to do next.

He had been away from Yudao City for quite some time. According to the news sent by the Human Emperor, Yudao City had undergone significant changes.

In the world of cultivators, "changing with each passing day" was not just a figure of speech, but a literal description.

The second after Lin Moyu left, the Third Ancestor received a message from Lu Lian: Lin Moyu had successfully claimed the cloud-piercing sword as his master.

"He is now heading in the direction of Yudao City. According to my observations, the artifact spirit of the cloud-piercing sword still exists."

Upon hearing Lu Lian's message, the Third Ancestor did not respond at all, a look of contemplation appearing in his eyes.

After a moment, the Third Ancestor muttered to himself, "His soul level…"

"Has it already reached the innate level?"

"Or is it that he used some kind of method…"

"…to subdue the artifact spirit of the cloud-piercing sword?" The Third Ancestor knew the Big-Headed Artifact Spirit inside the cloud-piercing sword; because of its former master,

it was extremely arrogant. The reason it looked down on those ordinary cultivators was because their soul levels were too low.

It would rather risk self-destruction than acknowledge a master. According to the Third Ancestor's thinking,

it required at least an innate-level soul to make it acknowledge a master, and physique…

And there were generally only two possibilities for an innate-level soul: one was the Great Dao Realm like him, and the other was an innate special physique. He knew very clearly

that in the current era, the number of special physiques was far less than before. As for the Great Dao Realm,

once one reached the Great Dao Realm, they naturally would not look upon a cloud-piercing sword that was only at the Dao Venerable 7th Realm. Then,

it became incredibly difficult for the cloud-piercing sword to find a master, which was why for so many years, the cloud-piercing sword

had remained in the warehouse of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. That Lin Moyu could make the cloud-piercing sword acknowledge him as master meant that Lin Moyu's soul level

might have already entered the innate level. Opportunity—the Third Ancestor was very certain

that Lin Moyu was not a cultivator with any special physique. For his soul to enter the innate level, he must have had some heaven-defying opportunity, but this was just his guess.

Perhaps Lin Moyu had used other means. Lin Moyu was different from other cultivators; on him

were all kinds of unknowns. No matter which possibility it was, the Third Ancestor did not find it strange.

The outline of Yudao City appeared in the distance, and then the entire Yudao City became clear in his line of sight—a huge city

rapidly unfolding before his eyes. Ever since the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce moved in, Yudao City had been open to everyone.

Various merchant caravans and a large number of cultivators arrived one after another, and at that moment, the scale of Yudao City

was rapidly expanding. Today, Yudao City was already a major city with a population of ten million.

Moreover, its scale was still expanding. Yudao City was managed by the Human Emperor, and the entire city operated in an orderly manner.

The Human Emperor could manage an entire Great World, let alone a mere Yudao City. The Human Emperor's strength was now extraordinary.

He could handle general matters, and coupled with the formations left behind by Lin Moyu, there had never been any major trouble in Yudao City.

However, the foundation of Yudao City itself was still a bit weak. Excluding the Human Emperor as a special case, the strongest were only Haotian Zun and the others.

They were currently only High-level Heavenly Venerables, and they still had a long way to go before reaching the Dao Venerable realm. Regarding this,

Lin Moyu had no good solutions. After all, his own faction had only been developing for a short time, and many things required a great deal of time to refine.

From afar, he saw the fortune of Yudao City; the fortune of Yudao City was soaring into the sky.

His own fortune was intertwined with the fortune of Yudao City in the dark, rising and falling together. Lin Moyu knew

that as long as he did not die, the fortune of Yudao City would not decline, and thus the development of Yudao City would be very smooth.

The cultivators within would become stronger and stronger. While powerful cultivators occupied a large amount of fortune,

they would also feed back a large amount of fortune, forming a positive cycle between them, making Yudao City stronger and stronger.

Just as Lin Moyu approached Yudao City, the projection of the Human Emperor appeared before him, the Human Emperor carrying a hint of a smile.

"World Master has returned!"

Lin Moyu nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."

The Human Emperor shook his head. "It is not hard work at all. Yudao City being able to develop safely to this extent

is also thanks to the World Master." Lin Moyu asked, "Nothing has happened recently, has it?"

The Human Emperor said,

"Nothing major. Lei Guang came to look for you, but you were not here.

According to what he said, that new king of the Dongling Empire summoned them again.

He hopes we can help him look after the stronghold." Lin Moyu nodded. Given the current situation in the Eastern Continent,

his stronghold should not have any problems. The Human Emperor gave an affirmative sound. "Indeed, there are no problems.

However, Lei Guang has not returned yet." Lin Moyu knew the situation of the Dongling Empire; their new king was Antares.

Although he did not know what Antares was plotting, Lin Moyu believed that Antares definitely had his own plans and would not act recklessly.

The Human Emperor introduced the current situation of Yudao City to Lin Moyu, while also talking about the things that had happened during this period. A large number of citizens had already left Yudao City

to travel to various places. They were not all in the Eastern Continent; the Human Emperor had arranged for some people to go to the Southern Continent, where the human race was most numerous.

Among these people, there would inevitably be some who would gain opportunities, and some who would encounter danger outside and perish.

Lin Moyu would not manage these matters; in his view, such things were all very normal.

The two talked all the way back to Yudao City. Lin Moyu had long ago asked the Human Emperor to arrange an area within Yudao City

for Clan Leader Hun Yi and the others to live in. This area was very quiet and large enough.

No one in Yudao City would go to trouble them, and with a powerhouse like Clan Leader Hun Yi at the Dao Venerable 7th Realm present, the safety of Yudao City could be taken to a higher level.

Although Clan Leader Hun Yi's strength exceeded the Human Emperor's, there were formations in Yudao City laid down by Lin Moyu, so there was no fear of them having other thoughts.

Lin Moyu released Clan Leader Hun Yi and the others. Clan Leader Hun Yi and the others looked at the exquisite courtyard and the beautiful environment,

their eyes filled with curiosity. For so many years, they had always lived in the wilderness,

just like ordinary spirit beasts, digging a hole, making a stone chamber, or at most building a small hut in a valley.

They had never imagined that one day they would be able to come to a city and live together with other living beings.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Clan Leader Hun Yi, is this environment acceptable?"

"If you have any needs, you can tell the Human Emperor at any time, and he will help you rearrange it."

Clan Leader Hun Yi said repeatedly, "Satisfied, satisfied. There is no need to rearrange."

"This is very good," Lin Moyu said. "Then you all shall live here."

"In Yudao City, I guarantee that no one will come to trouble you, and you do not need to worry about safety issues."

"The Human Emperor will tell you the specific rules."

Chapter 3209: Wait until returning from the Western Continent, then go to the Southern Continent

After settling Clan Leader Hun Yi and the others,

Lin Moyu also released Mist and the others. After this period of cultivation, the cultivation bases of Mist and the others had advanced further.

Xiaoyue had successfully entered the Supreme Realm, and the next step would be Heavenly Venerable. Mist was already stable at the Dao Venerable 1st Realm,

and was advancing towards the Dao Venerate Second Realm. Xiao Wu was one realm higher than Mist and had not encountered any bottlenecks so far.

During this period, the three of them had accumulated quite a bit of thunder poison again, but this time, Lin Moyu did not intend to use the World-Burning Flame to help them clear the thunder poison.

Although the purple thunder containing the power of the Great Dao was a good thing, they could not rely on it for cultivation all the time; their foundations still needed to be built solidly.

Purple thunder was a good thing that added flowers to the brocade, but one could not rely on it too much. The three of them understood this principle, and regarding Lin Moyu's arrangement,

the three had no objections. Returning to Yudao City, Lin Moyu handed hundreds of thousands of third-order premium origin crystals to the Human Emperor.

There was also a pile of miscellaneous artifact materials, all of which were his gains this time, and he threw them all into the warehouse.

The Human Emperor would distribute them. Then, Lin Moyu took action again and carried out some modifications to the formations.

He strengthened the Nine Heavens Thunderstorm Formation group that protected Yudao City once more. The strengthened formation group

when manipulated by the formation spirit Xiaojin, was already enough to block the Dao Venerable 8th Realm, and strangling those at the Dao Venerable 7th Realm was not a difficult task.

Lin Moyu knew that he had stepped into the realm of an 8th-rank Formation Master, and now the only thing lacking was his cultivation realm.

As long as his cultivation realm took one more step forward and he entered the Dao Venerable 4th Realm, he would be a true 8th-rank Formation Master.

In the entire Origin Continent, 8th-rank Formation Masters were extremely rare. He wondered how Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing was doing.

After watching him set up the formation last time and having an epiphany, Dao Venerable Lu Fengqing had begun secluded cultivation.

Up until now, it was highly likely that he had become an 8th-rank Formation Master. The same problem:

he was also constrained by his cultivation realm. The Dao Venerable 4th Realm was the threshold for an 8th-rank Formation Master.

During the period of modifying the formations, Lin Moyu felt the fortune of Yudao City increasing at an unusual speed. In just over ten days,

the fortune of Yudao City had almost doubled. This situation was very strange, but Lin Moyu understood it after a brief thought.

It was because Clan Leader Hun Yi and the others had joined Yudao City that the fortune of Yudao City had increased significantly. This also showed

that Clan Leader Hun Yi and the others had sincerely joined Yudao City. It seemed that this was the best way to utilize the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast.

Killing the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast would not work; it would incur great karma and lead to misfortune.

If one treated the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast well enough and let them sincerely accept you, you would also be stained with karma,

but there would be no misfortune. On the contrary, it could significantly increase fortune. Compared to studying the ethereal Dao of Karma,

increasing fortune was much more practical. The increase in Yudao City's fortune also made Lin Moyu's own fortune increase significantly.

He was the City Lord, so he benefited the most, and the others would also have gains.

It was just not as much as him. Rather than pursuing ethereal things, Lin Moyu preferred tangible things.

Fortune was very tangible; as long as the fortune was strong enough, one could encounter all kinds of good things.

When encountering danger, one could also turn misfortune into a blessing, and even have endless opportunities. After staying in Yudao City for twenty days,

Lin Moyu left again and returned to Shang City. The No. 3 hurricane warship was about to arrive.

Lin Moyu wanted to take the warship to the Western Continent. Now, even if he didn't take the hurricane warship, he could travel to the Western Continent using the cloud-piercing sword.

It was just because that would be too troublesome; when crossing the Boundary Sea, he might encounter some trouble.

Some troubles were better avoided. Before leaving, Lin Moyu went to Lei Guang's stronghold.

The stronghold was very quiet, and there were no problems. Lin Moyu checked the stronghold's fortune.

Although the fortune was not as good as Yudao City's, it was still considered strong, which meant that Lei Guang had not met with any accidents.

He also did not know what Antares was plotting. His target was not the dragon race in the Western Origin Continent, but the dragon race in the Outer Heaven Great Dao.

The dragon race in the Great Dao—Lin Moyu had already realized what was in Antares's mind. His goal was incredibly terrifying.

Could Antares really deal with them? But regardless of whether it would work or not,

"I will fight side by side with you," Lin Moyu said softly, his tone incredibly resolute.

He had promised Antares that he would accompany him to slaughter the dragon race, no matter where the dragon race was.

They would kill them all together. Three days later, Lin Moyu returned to Shang City.
