Chapter 2569

It is likely very difficult to open the Ancestral Land; layer upon layer of obstacles seem to exist solely to protect it.

Lin Moyu simultaneously noticed that among the elders present, one was extremely unique.

He stood among several Grand Elders, also in human form, appearing to have nothing special about him.

Yet, Lin Moyu recognized him; he had seen him a few days ago.

At that time, they had looked at each other from a distance, but this was their first formal meeting. Upon seeing him,

Lin Moyu confirmed his judgment: the other party was indeed injured, and severely so.

With a thought, he activated his Eye of the Undead, and Lin Moyu saw his soul.

His Soul Fire was flickering violently. It was immense, surpassing that of a Dao Venerable.

There was no doubt he was in the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm, but his Soul Fire had significant gaps; his soul had suffered heavy damage.

Looking at the gaps alone, the damage reached nearly one-third. Under such circumstances,

it was commendable that he could still remain conscious. No wonder.

In this state, even if he could remain conscious, his strength would be severely compromised.

If he were to force himself to act, it would only worsen his soul injury. Unless the Dragon Clan reached a moment of final peril,

he would certainly not move. Lin Moyu watched the Soul Fire, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He discovered that the other party's Soul Fire was collapsing at an extremely slow rate. Although the speed was incredibly slow,

the trend of collapse remained unchanged. Unless it could be reversed, in another ten thousand years or so,

he would die. Soul injuries are very difficult to treat. If the injury is light,

there might be a way, but if it is severe, it becomes a headache.

Even someone at the Great Dao Realm like the Three Ancestors would be helpless, but he himself…

happened to have a way to treat him. The spirit flower was useless against the Great Dao Realm, but for the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm,

it still had some effect. If the quality wasn't enough, he could make up for it with quantity; at worst, he would just use more.

It could always be cured. However, Lin Moyu would not volunteer this information.

Everything must have a reason; only then could karma be settled properly. The Dao of Karma was too troublesome.

Lin Moyu had learned from the Great World that one should not easily get entangled in karma, otherwise, it would inevitably lead to major trouble.

Among the various illusory Daos, the Dao of Karma was the most mysterious and unpredictable. As he walked over with Clan Leader Long Wei,

Clan Leader Long Wei introduced them to Lin Moyu, "Elder Lin, you must already know these few; this is Grand Elder Long Sheng."

"This is likely your first time meeting him." Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Lin Moyu has met Grand Elder Long Sheng."

Grand Elder Long Sheng also bowed slightly toward Lin Moyu, "Long Sheng has met Elder Lin. Elder Lin is already an elder of our clan from outside the clan."

"We can be considered of the same clan, so there is no need to be so formal. You can just call me Long Sheng."

Grand Elder Long Sheng's attitude toward Lin Moyu was very polite, without a hint of the arrogance expected of the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm. Naturally, Lin Moyu would not stand on ceremony.

Indeed, since they were considered the same clan, there was no need to be too formal.

Suddenly, the sky was filled with myriad rays of light. The elders arrived at a void, carrying liquids refined from various rare materials.

The formation's suppression of the materials suddenly vanished, and the elemental powers within the materials erupted completely, clashing with one another.

This formed a violent explosion. "How beautiful!" Xiao Mei watched the explosion.

It was just like watching a magnificent fireworks show; explosions occurred one after another, continuously.

They bloomed with myriad colors, mesmerizing to behold. Amidst the brilliant explosions,

various elemental powers shot through the air like a hundred flowers blooming. Space twisted and shattered, and following that, a layer of spatial barrier appeared.

This spatial barrier absorbed the energy from the explosion, and countless Divine Talismans appeared upon it. It was unexpected.

The Dragon Clan had a long history, existing since prehistoric times, so seeing Divine Talismans in the Dragon Clan's Ancestral Land

was not at all surprising to Lin Moyu. Clan Leader Long Wei explained, "This screen is called the Dragon God Wall."

"It was personally refined by the Dragon God in those years. Without the correct method, the Dragon God Wall cannot be opened."

"And thus, one cannot enter the Ancestral Land." At this moment, Grand Elder Long Sheng added, "Even those at the Great Dao Realm

would find it very difficult to forcefully break the Dragon God Wall." Lin Moyu exclaimed, "The Dragon God truly had great methods."

"Using Divine Talismans to form an array, and different Divine Talismans requiring different elemental powers to activate—without the correct method,

it is indeed impossible to open." Grand Elder Long Sheng's eyes lit up, "Elder Lin knows about Divine Talismans?"

Lin Moyu nodded slightly, "I have seen them before." Grand Elder Long Sheng continued to ask,

"What is Elder Lin's opinion on Divine Talismans?"

Lin Moyu said, "In my humble opinion."

"Divine Talismans should contain the various mysteries of Artifact Arrays and runes. In that era, just by utilizing Divine Talismans,

one could perfectly set up an array, without needing what we do today, where runes and Artifact Arrays must be combined."

Grand Elder Long Sheng laughed, "Elder Lin is a gifted genius. This question

has puzzled others for I don't know how many years, yet it was solved in one word by Elder Lin. Since Elder Lin has researched Divine Talismans,

I have a matter I would like to trouble Elder Lin with. This matter might involve some danger."

"Elder Lin can refuse, but if it is completed, it will definitely be of great benefit to Elder Lin."

Lin Moyu looked at this severely injured Pseudo-Great Dao Realm dragon, his eyes narrowing slightly, "Please, go ahead and tell me."

Grand Elder Long Sheng said, "No rush. Wait until Elder Lin enters the Ancestral Land."

"After you bathe in the Ancestral Blood, I will explain it in detail to Elder Lin." Lin Moyu understood the meaning behind his words.

It wasn't actually that there was no rush, but rather that it was inconvenient right now. This matter

was perhaps something these elders were not qualified to know. Lin Moyu complied with his words, "Very well."

"You can tell me then." As they spoke, all the Divine Talismans on the Dragon God Wall lit up.

Accompanied by a roar, a huge entrance appeared on the Dragon God Wall. Clan Leader Long Wei said,

"We can enter now. Elder Lin, please!"

Chapter 3263: The Ancestral Dragon is Still a Long Way from Resurrection

Passing through the entrance, they officially entered the Dragon Clan's Ancestral Land. The aura of wilderness was even thicker, and Xiao Mei seemed somewhat unaccustomed to it.

The little one's brows were constantly furrowed, her face serious. Lin Moyu guessed

whether this aura of wilderness was the aura from that prehistoric era. He felt that there was a powerful force within the aura of wilderness.

This force seemed to fuse various powers of the Dao, though this was just a guess and could not be confirmed.

After entering the Ancestral Land, all members of the Dragon Clan became serious, and Clan Leader Long Wei spoke less.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy. Clan Leader Long Wei led everyone forward in the Ancestral Land. In the distance, there seemed to be a high mountain

hidden in the clouds and mist, not clearly visible. The surroundings were extremely quiet, save for the faint sound of the wind.

The heaviest sounds were the footsteps of the group. The elders who had previously formed the array to open the Ancestral Land

had not transformed back into human form, maintaining their original forms. Following that,

Clan Leader Long Wei and the others also transformed into their original forms one by one, becoming massive divine dragons.

Moving forward in the Ancestral Land, only Lin Moyu and Xiao Mei were the outliers.

Clan Leader Long Wei's speed gradually increased, and Xiao Mei began to struggle to keep up. Lin Moyu summoned the cloud-piercing sword and let Xiao Mei sit on it.

The cloud-piercing sword carried her forward. The journey was long, and the mountain vaguely visible in the distance

remained unchanged. It wasn't until they had traveled for nearly half a day that the mountain finally began to become clear.

A rushing sound of water reached his ears. Lin Moyu saw a line of water falling from the sky amidst the clouds and mist,

turning into a majestic waterfall cascading down. However, this waterfall was not flowing with water, but a golden-red liquid.

The moment he saw the waterfall, a thick, incomparable scent of blood filled his nose, letting Lin Moyu know

that these golden-red liquids were likely the Ancestral Blood. Xiao Mei's brows furrowed even tighter.

Clearly, she was not accustomed to this scent of blood. Lin Moyu transmitted his voice, "Try to accept it."

"You will get used to it soon." Xiao Mei listened to Lin Moyu and tried to accept the scent of blood.

Gradually, her brows relaxed, and she was no longer as uncomfortable.

The scent of blood was indeed very thick; at first smell, it was nauseating, but if one accepted it internally,

one could smell a unique fragrance within this scent of blood. The Ancestral Blood carried a fragrance.

Lin Moyu had discovered this from the very beginning, which was why he told Xiao Mei to accept it. From the moment he saw the waterfall

until they reached the front of the waterfall, they traveled for quite some time. Beneath the waterfall

was a huge lake. From the edge of the lake to the waterfall was about ten thousand meters.

The entire lake was composed of Ancestral Blood, but the lake was clearly layered. From the edge areas

to the Core Area where the waterfall was located, the color of the blood in the lake varied in depth. The closer to the edge,

the lighter the color of the blood, and the weaker the power contained within it naturally was. The dragons came here,

and one by one, they knelt by the side of the lake, their huge dragon eyes filled with piety.

They kowtowed toward the high mountain, and then continuously let out dragon roars. The dragon roars were distant and vast,

carrying their mourning, piercing through time, and heading toward another space-time.

Amidst the bursts of dragon roars, the atmosphere became even heavier. The dragon roars were extremely infectious;

even Xiao Mei felt an urge to kneel and kowtow along with them. Lin Moyu looked at the high mountain ten thousand meters away, and gradually,

he discovered that this was not a high mountain; it was a dragon body!

Lin Moyu was slightly startled internally.

He finally saw some clues; the high mountain before him was not a high mountain at all.

It was a dead dragon body. To be precise, it should be a part of a dragon body.

This dragon was incomparably huge; just a part of its dragon body was enough to turn into a high mountain.

And it flowed with fresh blood, turning into a lake that had not dried up for countless years.

Following that, Lin Moyu discovered another problem: within the dragon blood that turned into the waterfall,

there was actually still a trace of vitality. This also meant that this dragon

had not completely died yet. It was dead, but it still retained a glimmer of possibility for resurrection.

However, the possibility was extremely slim. After a round of kowtowing, Clan Leader Long Wei returned to human form.

She lowered her voice, "Elder Lin, you should have already discovered it, right?"

Lin Moyu roughly knew the meaning behind Clan Leader Long Wei's words, "Was this trace of vitality present from the beginning?"

Clan Leader Long Wei looked at the lake, "It was present from the beginning, but it was not as strong as it is now."

The current strength was only relative to its weakness in the past. In Lin Moyu's view,

with the current intensity of vitality, it was still a long way from truly resurrecting.

If the road to resurrection were seen as ten thousand steps long, then only the first step had been taken; there were still nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps left to go.

Although he knew it in his heart, Lin Moyu would not say it; after all, he could not shatter others' beliefs.

He could already guess the whole process. This lake before him came from the Dragon Ancestor. The Dragon Ancestor had died,

but had not died completely. The Ancestral Blood flowed endlessly, forming the lake.

The descendants of the Dragon Clan paid respects time and time again, hoping that the Dragon Ancestor could resurrect. For countless years,
