Chapter 2571.

"What are we betting on?" Clan Leader Long Wei asked instinctively.

Grand Elder Long Sheng said, "If he can walk to the Dragon Blood Waterfall, then I win. If he cannot, then I lose. If I win, you must promise me one thing. If I lose, I will give you my treasured Dragon God Pearl."

Clan Leader Long Wei's eyes widened suddenly. "You are actually using the Dragon God Pearl to bet? What do you want me to do?"

Grand Elder Long Sheng said, "I will tell you when the time comes, but it certainly won't harm you or the Dragon Clan."

Clan Leader Long Wei said instinctively, "You naturally wouldn't harm me or the Dragon Clan. Very well, I agree." Grand Elder Long Sheng laughed heartily. "Good, it is settled then."

Lin Moyu had been standing in the Dragon Blood Lake for several full hours.

His internal blood energy roared ceaselessly, the sound interweaving with the dragon roars in his ears. The power within the Ancestral Dragon Blood had already exceeded the limits his physical body could withstand. That power within the Ancestral Dragon Blood was currently ravaging his bloodlines.

Strengthening happens from the inside out, and destruction occurs the same way. Therefore, from the outside, he looked perfectly normal, but in reality, the bloodlines within his body had been battered, shattered, and riddled with holes. Lin Moyu exerted his full strength to activate the Dao of Strength, mobilizing all the blood energy in his body to repair his bloodlines. To him, this process was an entirely new experience.

In the past, he had always repaired his physical body from the outside in; this time, it was the reverse, and this experience was quite good. At the beginning, the Dao of Strength, even while mobilizing all his blood energy, could not keep up with repairing his bloodlines. The speed of destruction was far faster than the speed of repair. Lin Moyu had to utilize the Power of Life to assist the Dao of Strength. With the assistance of the Power of Life, the repair speed of his bloodlines finally managed to keep up. Once the recovery could keep up with the destruction, the next step was adaptation.

This was the special aspect of the Dao of Strength: once a certain power was completely adapted to, Immunity would be generated.

Three hours later, Lin Moyu had adapted to a portion of the destructive power the Ancestral Dragon Blood had on his bloodlines, and his physical strength had increased significantly.

"I can continue now!" Lin Moyu muttered to himself, lifting his leg again and walking toward the Dragon Blood Waterfall.

His physical body had begun to gradually adapt, but there was no such thing as adaptation for the soul. Here, the speed at which his soul comprehended the Dao increased once more, and the speed at which he condensed Dao Patterns also quickened accordingly, shortening from half a year to three months.

In less than a hundred days, based on this rate of reduction, Lin Moyu realized something.

As long as he could walk to the 7,000-meter area, condensing one Dao Pattern would take less than fifty days. If he could reach the 8,000-meter area, he would be able to condense a Dao Pattern in twenty-something days, and then in the 9,000-meter area, one every ten days. If he could enter beneath the Dragon Blood Waterfall, perhaps he could condense a Dao Pattern in just a few days.

The time for bathing in the dragon blood was thirty days, enough for him to condense several Dao Patterns, saving over ten years of time. If this were truly the case, it would be equivalent to obtaining a complete Great Dao Reward; the harvest would be immense.

Thinking of this, joy could not help but surge in Lin Moyu's heart. For him, being able to save over ten years of time was indeed a good thing. Furthermore, during this process, both his physical body realm and soul realm could improve, which could be described as killing multiple birds with one stone. Bathing in the Ancestral Dragon Blood was truly a significant opportunity. Lin Moyu's lips curled slightly, and he walked with a relaxed stride.

The wonder of the Dao of Strength was displayed once again. For others, walking became harder and slower, but Lin Moyu walked faster and with more ease. His physical body was constantly adapting. The power of the Ancestral Dragon Blood was absorbed and recorded by the Dao of Strength, eventually forming Immunity. When Lin Moyu walked to the area near 7,000 meters, his physical body realm suddenly improved, rising from the Dao Venerable 5th Realm to the Dao Venerable 6th Realm.

Along with his physical body realm, his soul realm also improved. The power within the Ancestral Dragon Blood had been nourishing his soul all along. His soul realm also rose to the Dao Venerable 6th Realm along with his physical body. With both his physical body and soul at the Dao Venerable 6th Realm, only his cultivation realm dragged behind, still at the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm. Lin Moyu expressed extreme helplessness regarding this. Who told him to comprehend so many Daos? What could he do? Give up one or two? That was absolutely impossible.

The Daos he comprehended were not ordinary Daos; each one was very powerful and could make people envious and jealous. As things stood, he could only bite the bullet and keep walking step by step; at most, he could complain about being mentally exhausted. If others knew of Lin Moyu's thoughts, they would surely be so angry they would vomit blood. How many years had Lin Moyu been cultivating until now to have such achievements? It was more terrifying than some old monsters who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. To actually have such thoughts was truly deserving of a beating.

As the person involved, Lin Moyu did not care about these things. After completing the physical Immunity, he walked even faster.

He successfully stepped into the 7,000-meter area, where many Dragon Clan Elders were present, absorbing the power within the Ancestral Dragon Blood and constantly strengthening their own bloodlines. However, for most Dragon Clan Elders, the absorption speed was somewhat slow.

The speed of their bloodline improvement was very weak. They transformed into their dragon forms, their entire bodies soaked in the shallow lake, contacting the dragon blood as much as possible. Each one was absorbing it very earnestly, completely unaware that Lin Moyu had already arrived here. After Lin Moyu stepped into the 7,000-meter area, he discovered that his own bloodlines had no abnormalities; he was already completely immune to the Ancestral Dragon Blood.

A smile floated on his lips, and he accelerated his pace, walking toward the Dragon Blood Waterfall. He was walking faster and faster, much faster than at the beginning. He wanted to walk into the Dragon Blood Waterfall to bathe in the most concentrated Ancestral Dragon Blood, increasing the speed of condensing Dao Patterns. In the quiet Dragon Blood Lake, the sound of Lin Moyu walking through the blood rang out continuously.

Grand Elder Long Sheng, on the bank, chuckled and said, "Little Wei, it seems I have won."

Clan Leader Long Wei's dragon eyes were wide at this moment. "How did Elder Lin do it? Why is it like this!" She didn't care about losing the bet; she cared more about how Lin Moyu had managed to do it. Grand Elder Long Sheng said, "If you want to know, just go ask him. Perhaps he will tell you." Clan Leader Long Wei was not a fool; how could she possibly go and ask Lin Moyu?

This was definitely Lin Moyu's secret. Watching with her own eyes as Lin Moyu walked faster and faster, successfully crossing the 8,000-meter area without any intention of stopping, she knew she had lost nine times out of ten, and said helplessly, "Fine, what do you want me to do?"

Grand Elder Long Sheng chuckled. "No rush, no rush, you will naturally know when the time comes." Clan Leader Long Wei said, "You old man always like to be mysterious, just like the Dao you comprehended; it leaves people unable to fathom it."

Grand Elder Long Sheng said, "Isn't it good to be a little mysterious? Some things are no longer interesting if explained clearly."

Chapter 3266: Prepare for Battle, Enemies Are Coming.

"Our Dragon Clan is actually not stupid; it's just that our temperament is bad, and we are unwilling to use our brains. If we were willing to use our brains, perhaps our Dragon Clan would not be like this now." Clan Leader Long Wei did not quite understand Grand Elder Long Sheng's lament. Just as he said, the Dragon Clan was not stupid.

It was just that their temperament was not very good, they liked to sleep and did not like to use their brains, and they were relatively impulsive in doing things. But if one were to say that the current state of the Dragon Clan had anything to do with their personality, that seemed a bit excessive. At any rate, the Dragon Clan also had dragons in the Outer Heavens, and in the Origin Continent, the Dragon Clan was not weak. Clan Leader Long Wei did not agree with Grand Elder Long Sheng's statement in her heart, but she did not directly refute him in words; she continued to watch Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu was already close to the 9,000-meter area at this time. On the periphery of the 9,000-meter area, there were only ten Divine Dragons. They were the ten Great Elders of the Dragon Clan; only the Great Elders of the Dragon Clan were qualified to enter that area. She could never have imagined that an outsider would actually come today. Clan Leader Long Wei said, "If Elder Lin can really enter the Dragon Blood Waterfall, he will be the third outsider to enter the Dragon Blood Waterfall. Besides Lin Moyu, two other outsiders have entered the Dragon Blood Waterfall: one was the Third Ancestor of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, and the other was the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan."

However, both of their realms were too high, and they did not receive much benefit in the Dragon Blood Waterfall. Lin Moyu was different from them. Lin Moyu's realm was relatively low. In Clan Leader Long Wei's view, if Lin Moyu could enter the Dragon Blood Waterfall and bathe in the true Ancestral Dragon Blood, the benefits obtained would likely be immeasurable. Clan Leader Long Wei murmured, "If he can really go in, perhaps when he comes out, he won't be at the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm anymore." Grand Elder Long Sheng chuckled. "That is hard to say." Clan Leader Long Wei's willow eyebrows arched.

"What have you seen again?" Grand Elder Long Sheng shook his head. "It's hard to say. However, since ancient times, figures like him have had two completely different manifestations." Clan Leader Long Wei asked instinctively, "What manifestations?" Grand Elder Long Sheng said, "One is that the cultivation speed is extremely fast, far exceeding peers, making people unable to catch up. One opportunity can raise several realms. The second is that the cultivation speed is extremely slow, but the combat power is superb. Fighting across realms is like eating and drinking water. I think Elder Lin should be the second type. You and I have both been to the Dragon Blood Waterfall and know the huge benefits within, but wanting to let Fellow Daoist Lin improve his realm is still hard to say."

Clan Leader Long Wei said in a low voice, "But Elder Lin is not even three thousand years old yet, and he is already at the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm. Is this not fast enough?" Grand Elder Long Sheng said, "It is indeed fast enough. That is why I said, it is hard to say!" Clan Leader Long Wei said, "We will know after he goes in." While the two were chatting, Lin Moyu crossed the 9,000-meter boundary. At this time, he was less than a thousand meters away from the Dragon Blood Waterfall. For other members of the Dragon Clan, this thousand-meter distance was like a natural chasm.

Very few could cross it. In their generation, only Clan Leader Long Wei had crossed it. In the previous generation, only Grand Elder Long Sheng had crossed it. Entering the Dragon Waterfall was the dream of all members of the Dragon Clan, but this dream was destined to be realized by only a few people. Among the ten Great Elders, Great Elder Ao Luo's strength could rank in the forefront. His position was also further ahead than the other Great Elders, having walked almost to 9,300 meters, still seven hundred meters away from the Dragon Blood Waterfall.

When Lin Moyu passed by him, Great Elder Ao Luo suddenly woke up and happened to see Lin Moyu's retreating back. Great Elder Ao Luo's entire dragon body shuddered, his pair of large dragon eyes full of disbelief. "Elder Lin has actually surpassed me?" He could not believe that Lin Moyu could surpass him. In his view, Lin Moyu's combat power was eerily strong, which was because the secret techniques he learned were powerful. His realm was just at the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm; he could never have imagined that Lin Moyu could actually surpass him here.

This showed that besides having strong combat power, Lin Moyu had other means. Watching Lin Moyu walk forward as if walking on flat ground, Great Elder Ao Luo admired Lin Moyu even more in his heart. He did not even want to cultivate anymore, staring at Lin Moyu without blinking. Watching him walk the ten-thousand-meter path, Lin Moyu arrived at the edge of the Dragon Blood Waterfall. The golden-red Ancestral Dragon Blood fell from the sky. Looking up, he could not see the end at all. Lin Moyu did not fly up to look; Clan Leader Long Wei had told Lin Moyu that within the range of the Dragon Blood Lake…
