Chapter 2648

Ancestor Gu Hanyu said.

“Since the mission isn't complete, we can't fight,” they bickered back and forth, one word after another.

Lin Moyu could barely hold back his laughter. These two were truly quite amusing. Elder Tree had a kind and gentle face,

but his personality was like that of a child. Ancestor Gu Hanyu was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, speaking with absolute seriousness.

He nearly drove Elder Tree to death with anger. Lin Moyu didn't try to mediate either, letting them argue to their hearts' content.

Presumably, this kind of thing happened quite often between them. Sure enough,

after arguing for a long time, they didn't end up fighting. However, from their conversation, Lin Moyu had already figured out what was going on.

The Black Blood Remnant Soul of the Ninth Pole had never been suppressed from the very beginning. Ancestor Gu Hanyu had fought against it countless times.

In terms of strength, Ancestor Gu Hanyu was stronger. Throughout their countless clashes,

he had only won and never lost, but he was also unable to truly kill the Black Blood Remnant Soul. Not only was the opponent's defense incredibly strong,

but its vitality was equally immense. Every time it was repelled, it would recover before long.

Each time, the opponent would transform into blood to escape, merging into another layer of space-time, leaving Ancestor Gu Hanyu completely helpless.

Elder Tree seemed to have grown tired of arguing. He looked at Lin Moyu in a huff and asked, “Do you have any way to deal with that fellow?

This old man wants to complete the mission quickly, then return to the Heavenly Great Dao to have a proper fight with this guy.”

“And see who is stronger.” Ancestor Gu Hanyu ignored Elder Tree and said to Lin Moyu,

“This matter is likely not easy. You can think it over carefully.” However, Lin Moyu already had an idea.

“I already have a way, and it's not very difficult. I just need to make some preparations.

But I will still need Senior's cooperation. Once I am ready, please lure the Black Blood Remnant Soul over.”

Ancestor Gu Hanyu replied, “No problem.” Lin Moyu glanced at the sky.

“There should be an array set up by you here. Please reveal it and tell me about its situation.

I also need to set up an array and am afraid of causing a conflict.” “Alright!”

Chapter 3375: An Inexplicable Sense of Familiarity with Divine Talismans

Ancestor Gu Hanyu agreed very readily, throwing a jade token to Lin Moyu. “One look and you will understand.”

Lin Moyu felt that Ancestor Gu Hanyu was extremely generous, so generous that it surprised him a little. The information recorded in the jade token was vast.

It contained almost the entire set of Divine Talisman functions, explanations, and the method of using Divine Talismans to set up arrays.

Through this jade token, Lin Moyu could practically start from scratch and completely understand the basic structure of Divine Talismans.

He could even use Divine Talismans to set up arrays. Ancestor Gu Hanyu said, “Arrays are not something everyone can master.

It mainly depends on talent. Since you already know arrays, you should be able to understand it.”

His voice was slightly cold, but Lin Moyu knew that he was not truly indifferent.

If he genuinely didn't understand something, he could ask, and Ancestor Gu Hanyu wouldn't hesitate to answer. Lin Moyu said,

“I will take a look first. If there's anything I don't understand, I will ask you, Senior.” Ancestor Gu Hanyu gave a soft grunt of assent.

He did not say anything else. Elder Tree spoke up, “Old Gu,

you might not know this, but we've been here for countless years, and the world outside has long since changed.

Our old method of setting up arrays is completely different from the current arrays.” Half of his words were actually directed at Lin Moyu,

telling him to ask if he didn't understand. After all, setting up arrays with Divine Talismans differed greatly from modern arrays, being almost two completely different methods.

Asking was not shameful. Ancestor Gu Hanyu raised an eyebrow. “The method of setting up arrays has changed?”

Elder Tree said, “It's not just a small change, but a massive one.

Although this old man doesn't understand arrays, I can still tell this much. This method of yours…

Young Friend Lin might not be able to figure it out in a short time. Likewise, if Young Friend Lin were to tell you the current method of setting up arrays,

you wouldn't be able to make head or tail of it quickly either.” Ancestor Gu Hanyu murmured, “All laws return to the source.

No matter how the Dao of Arrays changes, all variations remain inseparable from their essence. If one truly has talent,

they will naturally find the correct path amidst the changes.” Elder Tree shook his head and let out a long sigh.

“You, you just refuse to say anything pleasant.” Ancestor Gu Hanyu replied,

“I am merely speaking the truth. Listen if you want to; if not, it doesn't matter.”

Faced with the stubborn Saint Master Gu Hanyu, Elder Tree was also helpless. At this moment, Lin Moyu was already completely immersed in the ocean of Divine Talismans.

His mind had entered deep meditation, and he didn't hear a single word of the conversation between Elder Tree and Ancestor Gu Hanyu.

He had studied Divine Talismans before, but with no one to teach him and no information on Divine Talismans,

his research progress had been extremely slow. The few insights he had gained and his various conjectures

were things he couldn't even verify as correct. But now, the jade token given by Ancestor Gu Hanyu gave Lin Moyu a sudden feeling of enlightenment.

His past conjectures about Divine Talismans were verified one by one; some were correct, while others were wrong.

Keeping the correct ones and discarding the errors, Lin Moyu began to step onto the Great Dao of Divine Talismans.

Lin Moyu did not immediately start learning Divine Talismans. Instead, he sought to explore their essence. He knew very well

that with anything, once you thoroughly understand its essence, learning it afterward will yield twice the result with half the effort.

Only by knowing why it is so can one more easily understand what it is. Looking at the information about Divine Talismans in the jade token,

for some reason, an inexplicable sense of familiarity rose in Lin Moyu's heart once again. This feeling was very strange.

It was just like when he first saw runes; a similar familiarity had sprouted in his heart, as if at some point in time,

he had come into contact with runes, or even drawn them with his own hands. Later, when he was researching Artifact Arrays and Rune Arrays,

this sense of familiarity had also appeared faintly, though not as strongly as the first time he saw runes. However, this time,

when he truly came into contact with the essence of Divine Talismans, the familiarity emerged and was incredibly intense.

It was even stronger than the first time he saw runes. This inexplicable and intense familiarity brought Lin Moyu unimaginable benefits.

He understood all kinds of knowledge about Divine Talismans almost instantly, immediately able to infer other things from what he learned.

Within a very short time, Lin Moyu had even found the commonalities between Divine Talismans and runes, and he also understood the similarities and differences between ancient Divine Talisman arrays and modern arrays.

It turned out that a Divine Talisman was not a single rune; it was itself a fusion of artifact and rune. Runes could be drawn using soul power,

but drawing Divine Talismans required some special materials fused with soul power. No wonder he couldn't understand them before.

The senior who comprehended Divine Talismans was truly a genius. Previously, Lin Moyu had tried to draw Divine Talismans,

but he had never succeeded even once. Mere imitation didn't work, and copying blindly didn't work either.

Lin Moyu's imitation was not a simple copying of form; rather, he used his keen perception to adjust his soul's vibration frequency

to be exactly the same as the vibration frequency of the Divine Talisman. Yet, he still failed. Those repeated failures

had once made Lin Moyu feel disappointed. He realized that something must be missing.

He hadn't known what was missing before, but now he finally did. The power contained within a Divine Talisman was not pure soul power.

Instead, it was soul power fused with some special substances. These substances could be various natural treasures or other things containing powerful energy.

The most commonly used was the origin crystal. Refined by soul power, the origin crystal would fuse with it.

Turning into ink, the soul power seemingly underwent no change, but its inner nature had already transformed.

Drawing Divine Talismans with this ink and then forming arrays with them created the foundation of an Artifact Array.

Combined with the inherent characteristics of Divine Talismans, an array formed by them could be directly viewed as a perfect array.

It was equivalent to an Artifact Array and runes fusing together. Furthermore, in order to unleash the special effects of Divine Talismans,

their structure was also fundamentally different from runes. It was more complex, more profound,

and closer to the Dao of Arrays. Artifact Arrays, Rune Arrays, and even runes were actually products of dismantling and simplifying Divine Talismans.

The senior who dismantled the Divine Talismans back then was indeed a genius, but he had taken the wrong path!

Lin Moyu finally understood why not a single modern array master had truly comprehended the Great Dao of Arrays,

let alone achieved the Dao through arrays. When everyone believed that arrays were merely an external force,

little did they know that they themselves had taken the wrong path. When the path is wrong, no matter how far one walks,

it is impossible to reach the end. Now, Lin Moyu finally saw how the correct path should be walked. Although the past path was wrong,

the steps already taken had turned into experience and would not be wasted. After seeing through the essence of Divine Talismans,

Lin Moyu did not immediately learn and comprehend them. Divine Talismans were extremely profound and complex; to truly master them

would require a vast amount of time, and now was not the moment. Lin Moyu bypassed the basics directly

and went on to inspect the Divine Talisman array set up by Ancestor Gu Hanyu. This Divine Talisman array was called the Falling Light Array. In terms of modern array grades,

it was equivalent to an eighth-rank array, possessing considerable power. An eighth-rank array could not threaten the Black Blood Remnant Soul,

but it was enough to deal with the Glacier Beasts. Moreover, Ancestor Gu Hanyu mainly used it to sweep the battlefield. Within the glaciers of this Ninth Pole,

Ancestor Gu Hanyu had set up a large number of Falling Light Arrays, allowing him to fight the Black Blood Remnant Soul in various places. In addition to the Falling Light Array,

there were also other Divine Talisman arrays. Combined together, they formed a tight defensive line.

Over the years, the Black Blood Remnant Soul and the Glacier Beasts had never been able to break through this defensive line.

Ancestor Gu Hanyu had trapped them securely, preventing them from advancing even an inch. Having understood the Falling Light Array,

Lin Moyu already knew what he had to do. One by one, origin crystals flew out, heading toward the void.

Chapter 3376: The Shocked Ancestor Gu Hanyu

Lin Moyu suddenly began to set up an array.

A look of slight surprise appeared on Ancestor Gu Hanyu's face. How much time had passed? Less than an hour at most.

What could one do in an hour?

He probably couldn't even read one-ten-thousandth of the content in the jade token, so how could he accomplish anything?

Setting up an array within the range of his Falling Light Array, wasn't he afraid of causing conflicts between the arrays and triggering some unpredictable consequences? Ancestor Gu Hanyu's first impression was that this fellow Lin Moyu was far too reckless.

He shook his head slightly. Elder Tree felt similarly, knowing that learning arrays was not something that could be done overnight.

It required countless years of comprehension. The array masters he knew of

measured their comprehension of arrays in thousands or tens of thousands of years. Young Friend Lin seemed to be a bit too rash!

Thinking this in his heart, Elder Tree cast a glance at Ancestor Gu Hanyu, hoping he would keep an eye on things.

At least to prevent the arrays from conflicting. However, Ancestor Gu Hanyu ignored him, acting as if he hadn't seen a thing.

Elder Tree knew that Ancestor Gu Hanyu wanted Lin Moyu to learn from his setbacks, letting him realize on his own how reckless he was.

Elder Tree said nothing about this. He knew Ancestor Gu Hanyu's temperament very well; since he had already made up his mind,

saying more would be futile. It was better to remain silent. One by one, origin crystals flew out,

rapidly landing in their designated positions. Bound by Lin Moyu's soul power, the origin crystals connected with one another.

At the same time, Lin Moyu drew runes. Extremely complex runes flew from his fingertips, also combining together

to form an even more intricate array. The runes Lin Moyu drew had reached an exceptionally high level of complexity.

Their structures were three-dimensional; even an ordinary Dao Venerable looking at them for a few moments would probably feel dazzled.

Yet in Lin Moyu's hands, these three-dimensional runes could still form even more complex Rune Arrays.

Lin Moyu's movements were fluid and seamless, like a visual feast. Even Ancestor Gu Hanyu couldn't help but look at him in a new light.

In his view, the difficulty of these runes was already no less than that of many basic Divine Talismans.

In other words, if Lin Moyu were to switch to drawing Divine Talismans, he could also draw basic Divine Talismans with ease.

Gradually, Ancestor Gu Hanyu's expression changed, and the trace of disdain in his eyes vanished completely.

“Is this the modern array?”
