Chapter 2551

Even among the Human Clan, no one has become a Great Dao Realm expert. Lin Moyu silently approached.

As he drew closer to the Western Paradise, when he was still ten thousand miles away, Lin Moyu spotted a warship.

A warship of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. Lin Moyu couldn't help but chuckle; it seemed those who enjoyed watching the spectacle…

…were not limited to himself. The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce had also come, and they had arrived in such an open and aboveboard manner.

But then again, with the capabilities of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, how could such a major event be hidden from them?

Furthermore, such valuable news could be sold for money in the future, so they would naturally come.

Several people were standing on the warship, and just as Lin Moyu spotted them…

…they noticed Lin Moyu as well. One of them suddenly flew over, and before he even arrived…

…his voice reached him first. "It has been many days since we last met. Mr. Lin's cultivation has progressed once again."

"Truly congratulatory." Lin Moyu also revealed a slight smile. "Congratulations to Senior Lu on stepping into the Dao Venerable 8th Realm!"

The newcomer was an old acquaintance, Lu Fengyao's father, Lu Shudao.

Lu Shudao laughed heartily. "That is all thanks to you, Mr. Lin. Otherwise, this Lu would have perished long ago."

Lin Moyu was also very polite. "To be able to find a sliver of life in a desperate situation was because Senior Lu's righteousness is unparalleled."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have lasted until this junior arrived. Therefore, Senior Lu actually saved himself; this junior dares not take all the credit."

Lu Shudao was originally in the Dao Venerable 7th Realm. After being heavily injured in the Star Wind Secret Realm, he had given his only great dao longevity pill to Star Lord Hanjiu.

Only then was Star Lord Hanjiu able to recover a sliver of vitality, barely holding back the Divine Pet with his soul power, which ultimately allowed the group of Dao Venerables to survive.

Until Lin Moyu arrived. If he had been a bit selfish back then, those Dao Venerables probably wouldn't have held out for long.

Later, after being treated by Lin Moyu, his injuries fully healed, and he survived the disaster.

Upon his return, his accumulated efforts bore fruit, and he quickly broke through from the Dao Venerable 7th Realm to the 8th Realm.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two returned to the warship together. On the warship…

…there were six other Dao Venerables from the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. Unlike Lu Shudao, they were permanently stationed in the Western Continent.

They did not know much about Lin Moyu. All six were in the Dao Venerable 6th Realm, and their strength was not weak either.

They were respectively in charge of the chamber's business in the territories of the Western Continent's Buddhist Clan and Dragon Clan. Lin Moyu asked, "Senior Lu…"

"…could you tell me what happened here?"

Lu Shudao naturally would not hide anything from Lin Moyu. "Of course."

"Mr. Lin should know that there is a faction within the Buddhist Clan called the Legions."

Lin Moyu nodded. "I have a rough idea. Within the Buddhist Clan…"

"…there are several Legions, which are composed of different races. For example, the Yao Legion…"

"…is composed of Buddhist Clan members who originally belonged to the Yao Clan. In addition to that, there is also the Wood Legion…"

"…the Beast Legion, and the Human Legion. The Wood Legion is composed of vegetation cultivators…"

"…while the Beast Legion is composed of spiritual beasts. Among the several Legions, the most populous is naturally the Human Legion."

"At the same time, the Human Legion is also the most complex." Lu Shudao chuckled. "This time…"

"…the Buddhist Clan wants to establish a Dragon Legion."

Chapter 3237: The Technique of Three Lives, Past, Present, and Future

Hearing the words "Dragon Legion"…

Lin Moyu was stunned for a moment and instinctively said, "The Buddhist Clan wouldn't be so foolish, would they?"

His choice of words made several Dao Venerables burst into laughter, and Lu Shudao smiled as well.

"Why do you say that, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Moyu said, "I can guess roughly what the Buddhist Clan wants to do."

"Back then, they took advantage of the Hundred Herbs Alliance, obtaining a large number of vegetation members to form the Wood Legion."

"To a certain extent, this strengthened the Buddhist Clan, but those are two completely different matters. The vegetation members were originally enlightened by the Buddhist Clan."

"Thus, from the moment they gained sentience, they were fiercely loyal to the Buddhist Clan. It wasn't that the Hundred Herbs Alliance lacked the ability to kill them…"

"…but rather they felt doing so was useless. As long as the Buddhist Clan still existed…"

"…vegetation would continue to be enlightened, endless to kill. The Dragon Clan is not like that at all."

"The Dragon Clan does not need the Buddhist Clan's enlightenment. If they want to form a Dragon Legion, they must poach members from the Dragon Clan."

"To put it nicely, it's poaching; to put it bluntly, it's forced Conversion and submission. Given the temperament of the Dragon Clan…"

"…they naturally would not agree." Lu Shudao laughed heartily. "Mr. Lin is absolutely right."

"That is pretty much the case." Lin Moyu said, "With the Dragon Clan's strength on the Origin Continent…"

"…they are not weaker than the Buddhist Clan. Coupled with the Dragon Clan's background, the Buddhist Clan seems to be seeking their own doom."

"Unless they have some sort of backing!"

Lin Moyu looked at Lu Shudao.

Whether the Buddhist Clan had any backing, Lu Shudao definitely knew something, and Lin Moyu was very certain…

…that the Buddhist Clan were not fools and would not do something so unwise. Lu Shudao said with a smile,

"The Buddhist Clan indeed has some backing. I wonder if Mr. Lin has heard of the Buddha of Three Lives within the Buddhist Clan?"

Lin Moyu shook his head. "I have never heard of him." Everything he knew…

…came from the information purchased from the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. If it wasn't in the records, he naturally wouldn't have heard of it.

He hadn't been in the Western Continent for long, and even his time on the Origin Continent was quite brief.

How could he compare to the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce? There were many things he didn't know. Lu Shudao explained,

"About a hundred thousand years ago, a Buddhist cultivation genius appeared in the Buddhist Clan. He spent only five thousand years…"

"…to cultivate into an Ancient Buddha, and then spent another fifty thousand years to reach the Nine-Ring Ancient Buddha stage."

"He did not establish a Buddhist Kingdom, nor did he rely on the power of incense vows. Instead, he chose to cultivate the most difficult secret technique of the Buddhist Clan,"

"The Technique of Three Lives. The so-called Technique of Three Lives is to split one into three…"

"…and cultivate together." Lin Moyu asked, "Splitting one into three?"

"How is this different from clones?"

Lu Shudao continued to explain, "On the surface…"

"…it doesn't seem very different from clones, but in reality, it is completely different. The Technique of Three Lives is known by the Buddhist Clan as the most difficult secret technique."

"It is also the strongest secret technique. The Technique of Three Lives splits the soul into three, and the two separated souls…"

"…are independent, like three reborn ones, yet they share the same root and origin."

"The three souls can merge back into one when needed. After that genius split his soul into three, he cultivated all of them back to the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable."

Then, with the combined power of the three souls, he actually succeeded in breaking through— Lin Moyu furrowed his brows. "He must have reached the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm, right?"

Lu Shudao laughed heartily. "Mr. Lin actually even knows about the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm. This Shudao truly admires you."

"That's right, he broke through to the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm." Lin Moyu understood a bit now.

"So that's why the Buddhist Clan has the backing to dare target the Dragon Clan. But don't they know…"

"…that the Dragon Clan has people up there?"

Lu Shudao said with a smile, "Who knows?"

Lin Moyu pondered for a moment and roughly understood the Buddhist Clan's thoughts. The Buddhist Clan definitely knew that the Dragon Clan had backing up there.

"But so what if they have backing? It is difficult for those in the Great Dao Realm to descend, and even if they do…"

"…they can at most exert thirty percent of their combat power. With a Pseudo-Great Dao Realm expert, they aren't afraid of a Great Dao Realm expert who can only use thirty percent of their power."

"They believe the Dragon Clan definitely can do nothing to them, which is why they want to establish the Dragon Legion."

"To poach some members from the Dragon Clan. And their purpose is not as simple as just the Dragon Legion."

"They probably also covet the Dragon Clan's secret techniques. The Dragon Clan has countless secret techniques, many of which are extremely powerful."

"The Buddhist Clan has likely coveted them for many years." Having basically understood the root of this matter, Lin Moyu asked,

"What is the name of that Pseudo-Great Dao Realm Buddha?"

Lu Shudao smiled. "His main body is known as Buddha Tathagata."

"Also called the Present Buddha. The other two are Ancient Buddha Qingdeng, who is known as the Past Buddha, and Buddha Maitreya, who is known as the Future Buddha."

"When separated, all three Buddhas are in the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable. When merged into one, they become a Pseudo-Great Dao Realm expert."

Known as Buddha Sansheng. Lin Moyu was slightly startled in his heart and muttered to himself,

"The Past Buddha, Present Buddha, and Future Buddha… these three Buddhas also existed in the Great World. Thinking about it now…"

"…the three Buddhas in the Great World merely borrowed their titles; in reality, there shouldn't be much of a connection."

"Back then, the inheritance of the Buddhist Clan was passed into the Great World intermittently and incompletely."

"Perhaps the titles of the three Buddhas were within those inheritances."

"In other words, the Future, Present, and Past Buddhas in the Great World were merely names without substance."

"These three here are the truly great Buddhas." While contemplating…

Lin Moyu began to get a headache. Ancient Buddha Qingdeng was actually one of the three Buddhas. If he wanted to snatch it by force, it would definitely not work.

"I can only exchange for it. Now I can only hope that the items given by the Three Ancestors are useful." Lin Moyu asked,

"What happened after the Dragon Clan came knocking on their door?"

Lu Shudao smiled.

"What else could happen? They fought, of course. The Dragon Clan rarely reasons with others."

"They started fighting right away." Lin Moyu said, "The Dragon Clan must have suffered a disadvantage, right?"

Lu Shudao nodded. "This is the Buddhist Clan's Western Paradise, so the Dragon Clan would naturally suffer."

But the Dragon Clan is not afraid either. Lu Shudao briefly explained the current situation in the Western Paradise. The Buddhist Clan had converted a batch of dragons from the Dragon Clan.

"There are ten Divine Dragons alone, two of which are in the Dao Venerable 7th Realm, and over a hundred Holy Dragons."

"As for Elemental Dragons, there are even more. After the Dragon Clan came knocking, the Buddhist Clan, having backing…"

"…showed no weakness. They fought many battles in the Western Paradise."

"Consequently, the Dragon Clan did not gain any advantage and even suffered some losses. However, the truly powerful experts of the Dragon Clan have not arrived yet."

"The strongest Buddha of Three Lives from the Buddhist Clan has also not taken action. The Dragon Clan has now summoned the powerhouses of their clan. Once their clan's powerhouses arrive…"

"…they will continue to fight. And once they start, it might not stop easily."

"With the Dragon Clan's personality, as long as the Buddhist Clan does not abandon the idea of the Dragon Legion, the Dragon Clan will not…" As Lin Moyu listened to Lu Shudao…

…he pondered. The more he thought, the more he felt something was off. Although the Buddhist Clan had backing…

"While the Dragon Clan's secret techniques are excellent, many of them can only be used by the Dragon Clan itself."

"For the Buddhist Clan to use them, they would require extensive modification, which doesn't align with the Buddhist Clan's interests."

"But the Buddhist Clan clearly will not give up. To deal with the Buddhist Clan, the Dragon Clan would inevitably have to mobilize their entire clan."

"Using their full strength, the Dragon Clan's rear would be left empty. If the Insect Clan made a move at this time…"

Chapter 3238: This Old Man's Integrity is Matchless Under the Great Dao

"…or if the Insect Clan and the Buddhist Clan joined forces, then the Dragon Clan would be in deep trouble." Thinking of this…

Lin Moyu immediately asked, "Senior Lu, I remember the chamber also has…"

"…personnel inside the Insect Clan. Although the Insect Clan is very closed off, the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce still has outposts within them."

"After all, the Insect Clan still needs some resources, and the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce is their best choice." Lu Shudao asked with a look of doubt,
