Chapter 2577

Lin Moyu suddenly disappeared from sight; arrays are truly marvelous!

Grand Elder Long Sheng sighed deeply, knowing this was all thanks to the array. In his view, this array was at least of the sixth rank, meaning Lin Moyu was at least a sixth-rank array master. At such an age, with such cultivation and combat power, and on top of that being a high-rank array master, Grand Elder Long Sheng felt that the bunch of guys in the Dragon Clan had all lived their lives in vain, knowing only how to sleep from morning till night.

Then they would feel smug, but in the end, they were worth nothing. These people included himself.

Otherwise, the Dragon Clan wouldn't have internal problems and need to seek help from an outsider.

Such a shameful thing had never been done by the Dragon Clan before, but now, everything was focused on solving the problem. At any rate, Lin Moyu was an elder with a different surname, half a member of the Dragon Clan.

Lin Moyu had used the Sealing Array to trap the mutated giant beast and completely sealed off the space it was in, cutting off its connection with the outside world. The Sealing Array was quite peculiar; depending on the quality of the materials used and the ability of the one setting it up, the rank of the Sealing Array could fluctuate. The weakest Sealing Array could be only third rank, while the strongest could reach the ninth rank. The Sealing Array that Lin Moyu set up, using eighth-rank origin crystals and additional runes, had already reached the limit of a seventh-rank array, sufficient to trap a Dao Venerable 8th Realm expert for a short time.

The current realm of this mutated giant beast was unknown, but its combat power should be within the range of the Dao Venerable 8th Realm.

Using the Sealing Array to trap it for a moment was not a problem. The mutated giant beast kept ramming inside the Sealing Array, yet it could never break through the array.

Lin Moyu was observing from outside the array; he wanted to verify his guess. In the midst of repeated impacts, the Sealing Array rumbled incessantly, as if it could be shattered at any moment. A moment later, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Moyu's mouth. It had begun!

The rumbling continued.

Chapter 3274: Treating the Symptoms, Not the Root Cause; Drag It Out First

The mutated giant beast continued to ram against the array; this was its instinct. It had mutated from a true spirit and possessed no intelligence of its own, acting purely on instinct. It felt nothing at all.

During the repeated impacts, its strength grew weaker and weaker, and the threat it posed to the array became smaller and smaller.

The strength of the mutated giant beast dropped rapidly. In no time, its strength had fallen to the Dao Venerable 7th Realm.

From the Dao Venerable 8th Realm to the 7th, it seemed like a drop of only one realm, but in reality, the difference in strength was several times less.

With the strength of a Dao Venerable 8th Realm, as long as it could persist for a period of time, it could shatter the array. But if it were a Dao Venerable 7th Realm, the time required to shatter the Sealing Array would increase by dozens of times, and the strength of the mutated giant beast was still continuing to weaken.

Soon, it fell to the Dao Venerable 6th Realm, and even the 5th. Along with its strength, its defensive power also dropped.

In Lin Moyu's perception, its defensive power was also constantly weakening. The mutated giant beast was completely unaware of its own changes.

It had only instinct, constantly impacting the array. Grand Elder Long Sheng suddenly received a voice transmission from Lin Moyu.

"Elder Long Sheng, come up and take a look!"

Grand Elder Long Sheng flew over immediately.

Heading toward where Lin Moyu was, Lin Moyu and he were not in the same layer of space. After he flew over, Lin Moyu opened the gate and let Grand Elder Long Sheng in. Grand Elder Long Sheng arrived in the space where Lin Moyu was.

He also saw the mutated giant beast trapped in the array. Grand Elder Long Sheng asked, "Daoist Lin, have you seen anything?"

Lin Moyu said, "Almost, just a little bit more."

"Wait a little longer." Grand Elder Long Sheng was very patient and watched quietly.

After waiting for a while longer, Lin Moyu suddenly entered the array and came before the mutated giant beast.

With a wave of his hand, a phantom giant hand appeared and grabbed the mutated giant beast all at once.

Then, with a forceful squeeze—bang—the mutated giant beast was crushed into powder on the spot. The confused Grand Elder Long Sheng stared with wide eyes.

Lin Moyu had actually crushed the mutated giant beast with one hand. If he were in his prime, he might have been able to do it, but now he could not. Even the Dao Venerable 9th Realm Grand Elder of the Dragon Clan could not do it. He did not understand how Lin Moyu had managed to do it.

After Lin Moyu crushed the mutated giant beast, he simultaneously removed the array and then watched the ground without blinking.

In his line of sight, a trace of true spirit fell and entered the ground.

The true spirit had not been crushed by him; a true spirit is formless and intangible, and it is not easy to crush.

Watching the true spirit fall into the ground, Lin Moyu's experiment was completely over, and the conclusion was already in his mind.

Clapping his hands, Lin Moyu said, "Alright."

"I have already found the root cause." Grand Elder Long Sheng asked impatiently, "Where is the root?"

Looking up, Lin Moyu said, "The root is within the ancestral land."

"To be precise, it should stem from the wasteland stone used when the Ancestral Dragon refined the ancestral land." Grand Elder Long Sheng frowned.

He did not understand. Lin Moyu said, "I don't know what the wasteland stone is."

"But I can now be certain that there is a peculiar power contained within the wasteland stone. This power acts upon all the dragon remains in the Dragon Tomb. This power pulls the true spirits out of the dragon remains and into the ground."

"Then it makes the true spirits fuse with the ground and mutate, turning into giant beasts of various shapes. These giant beasts then absorb the power from the dragon remains to grow, becoming stronger and stronger. At the same time, this land also has some special connection with the giant beasts, giving them extremely abnormal recovery power."

"Just now, I used the Sealing Array to trap the giant beast. They lost contact with the ground and could not continuously obtain power."

"So its power became weaker and weaker. When I went to kill it just now, its power had actually fallen to the Dao Venerable 4th Realm."

After hearing this, Grand Elder Long Sheng murmured, "The problem actually lies within the ancestral land itself."

"Then, using this method, can we kill them all?"

Lin Moyu said.

"Killing them all is naturally no problem, but if the root of the problem is not solved, killing them all is useless."

"I just killed it, but the true spirit was not destroyed as a result. The true spirit entered the ground again."

"Eventually, it will evolve into a new mutated giant beast. Moreover, along the way here, I saw that the true spirits in quite a few dragon remains are already about to be pulled into the ground."

"At that time, they will also become mutated giant beasts." Grand Elder Long Sheng had a sudden realization. "So that's how it is."

"No wonder I could never kill them all before." Lin Moyu said, "So, to solve this problem, one can only solve it from the root of the ancestral land. Otherwise, there is no way. It's not that the true spirits cannot be destroyed."

Lin Moyu naturally had the means to destroy the true spirits, but he would certainly not go to kill the true spirits. These true spirits were all ancestors of the Dragon Clan.

Destroying their true spirits would be forming a great karma with the Dragon Clan. Lin Moyu was not afraid, but it was unnecessary. Perhaps one day in the future, when he accompanies Antares to kill the Dragon Clan in the Outer Heaven Great Dao, there would be bloodshed, and he would likewise form a great karma, but the karma at that time would be something Lin Moyu was willing to bear, not now. He had already found the root of the problem himself.

As for whether it could be solved, that was Grand Elder Long Sheng's own business; it had nothing to do with him.

Next, let Grand Elder Long Sheng have a headache. He couldn't be bothered to care. Grand Elder Long Sheng thought for a long time.

He couldn't think of any good solution. Grand Elder Long Sheng murmured, "The Ancestral Dragon used wasteland stone when refining the Dragon Clan's ancestral land. But we don't know what wasteland stone is at all. We have no way to solve this problem."

"What should we do!"

Lin Moyu thought for a moment. "I have a method here that treats the symptoms but not the root cause."

"Does Elder Long Sheng want to try it first?" Grand Elder Long Sheng was having a headache and couldn't think of a good solution. Hearing Lin Moyu say this, he immediately replied, "Please elaborate, Elder Lin." Lin Moyu said.

"I will help you heal your injuries. Although it may not be fully cured, it can at least be mostly recovered."

"Then I will refine some array disks of the Sealing Array for you, so you can take the Great Elders of the Dragon Clan to come here periodically to clear them out."

"Although this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, I think it should be able to delay the mutation of the Inner Dragon Grave. Taking advantage of this time, you can go and look for your eldest prince. Perhaps he will have a way." Lin Moyu mentioned Antares calmly.

He wanted to see Grand Elder Long Sheng's reaction, to see if Grand Elder Long Sheng really didn't know about Antares. In fact, Grand Elder Long Sheng's reaction told him that they indeed did not know Antares. When Great Elder Ao Luo saw Antares at that time, he had only subconsciously called him the eldest prince. In fact, even Ao Luo was not entirely certain at the time; clearly, Ao Luo did not know Antares either.

Grand Elder Long Sheng thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "It seems now, this is the only way." Lin Moyu's method, although it treated the symptoms but not the root cause, could at least drag it out for a long time. The ancestral land had to be visited, and the Dragon Blood Lake had to be soaked in.

If a genius appeared in the clan, the Dragon Blood Waterfall would certainly have to be visited. If the current problem could not be solved, every time they went to the Dragon Blood Waterfall, they would have to fight a great battle, and as there were more and more mutated giant beasts, they were fighting more and more difficultly.

With this method now, at least it could allow them to temporarily return to normal. As for the eldest prince, they could only go and look for him. If they ever really found him, perhaps the problem could be completely solved.

Grand Elder Long Sheng said, "Then I will trouble Elder Lin." Lin Moyu smiled and said.

"I am half a member of the Dragon Clan, after all; I should do something." Saying this, he took out a spirit flower and handed it to Grand Elder Long Sheng.

"Activate it." Grand Elder Long Sheng did not doubt him and immediately activated the spirit flower.

The spirit flower bloomed, enveloping Grand Elder Long Sheng, and began to heal his injuries.

Lin Moyu then began to refine the array disks for the Sealing Array again. To heal Grand Elder Long Sheng, one spirit flower would certainly not be enough.

Whenever a spirit flower was exhausted, Lin Moyu would give another one. Grand Elder Long Sheng's injuries began to slowly recover.

Chapter 3275: Expert from the Soul World

spirit flowers were used one after another.

Lin Moyu refined one array disk after another. Grand Elder Long Sheng's injuries were very severe, and he had once reached the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm.

The effect of the spirit flower was extremely limited, and the quality was not quite enough, so it could only be compensated by quantity.

Fortunately, Lin Moyu now had a sufficient number of spirit flowers. After advancing to the Dao Venerable 4th Realm, a large number of spirit flowers had grown on the World Tree again.

They were enough for Lin Moyu to squander. Back and forth, more than thirty spirit flowers were used, taking up two full days of time.

Grand Elder Long Sheng's injuries were finally mostly recovered, with only a little left. According to Lin Moyu's judgment, with another three or five spirit flowers, Grand Elder Long Sheng's injuries could be completely recovered. Although a large number of spirit flowers were used, Lin Moyu did not feel heartache. This time also let him know the limit of what the spirit flowers could currently treat, which was the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm.

As long as it was an injury below the Great Dao Realm, the spirit flower could treat it. Compared to when he first met Daoist Tianlei, the ability of the spirit flower had enhanced significantly. After this trip ended, it was time to go back to the Southern Continent.

First go to pick people up, then go to Thunder Mountain to heal Brother Daoist Tianlei's injuries.

Lin Moyu muttered to himself. He used another three spirit flowers, and Grand Elder Long Sheng's injuries finally had only a sliver left.

The injury to the soul was about to be completely healed. From now on, the Dragon Clan would have one more powerful Pseudo-Great Dao Realm expert. Suddenly, a roar sounded in Grand Elder Long Sheng's soul. The spirit flower that was still in the middle of treatment shattered with a bang, and a terrifying aura surged from Grand Elder Long Sheng's soul.

An intangible and powerful soul force followed the traces left by the spirit flower and rushed directly toward Lin Moyu's Soul World. The spirit flower was Lin Moyu's object.

The aura belonging to Lin Moyu remained on the spirit flower, and at this moment, it was actually used as a coordinate to lock onto his Soul World. The accident that happened suddenly, even Lin Moyu was caught off guard, and even his spiritual sense could not issue a warning in time; the opponent had already arrived.
