Chapter 2651

The internal power is stronger than the external; it forms its own space inside, evolving into the Endless Glacier.

It isolates heaven and earth to suppress the main body of the Black Blood Fist Saint, ensuring absolutely nothing goes wrong.

Elder Tree sighed at this moment, "What a pity, our power is limited."

"If our power were strong enough to fully activate the exotic treasure, we could have killed the Black Blood Fist Saint directly."

"We wouldn't have been trapped here for so many years either." Lin Moyu asked with a hint of curiosity, "Senior, how did you obtain this exotic treasure?"

Ancestor Gu Hanyu shook his head. "It cannot be said." Elder Tree chuckled.

"I have also asked this question before, but his answer was exactly the same as just now."

Since he was unwilling to say, Lin Moyu knew it was useless to ask further. There must be a reason behind his silence.

Lin Moyu speculated that there must be a deeper reason. He changed the subject, "Once we kill that Black Blood Fist Saint…"

"…will the two seniors be returning to the Outer Heaven Great Dao?" Ancestor Gu Hanyu replied, "Yes."

Elder Tree added, "Things are not as simple as you think. Killing him is only a hard requirement for returning to the Outer Heaven Great Dao."

"Aside from that, there are still some other things to complete. We will likely have to stay here for a while longer."

"But those are our private matters and won't delay you, Young Friend." As he spoke…

…Elder Tree glanced at Ancestor Gu Hanyu. "I say, Old Gu, are you a block of wood?"

"Did you not understand Young Friend Lin's words?"

Ancestor Gu Hanyu was not stupid, so how could he not understand?

He took out the bloodline jade token that Lin Moyu had brought, and then began drawing a Divine Talisman in the void. From Ancestor Gu Hanyu's fingertips…

…droplets of liquid resembling water continuously emerged, serving as the ink for the Divine Talisman. Lin Moyu could tell…

…that the essence of the liquid was soul power, but it was also fused with some physical matter. This way…

…the intangible soul power gained form, becoming a semi-incorporeal, semi-tangible existence that could be used to draw the Divine Talisman.

Ancestor Gu Hanyu drew a simple Divine Talisman and fused it into the bloodline jade token. A moment later…

…he handed the bloodline jade token to Lin Moyu. "Just take this jade token and go back." Lin Moyu said…

"Thank you, Senior." Ancestor Gu Hanyu nodded slightly without showing much of a reaction.

He had always been a man of few words. Though he didn't treat every word like gold, whenever he could avoid speaking…

…he basically wouldn't speak. Lin Moyu felt that Ancestor Gu Hanyu was somewhat similar to his past self; it wasn't that he was unwilling to speak…

…nor that he didn't know how to speak, but rather that he felt there was no need to say much at times. Presumably, Ancestor Gu Hanyu was the same.

If it could be understood implicitly, there was no need for words. Arriving at the edge of the Nine Extremes Glacier, a vast expanse of white lay ahead.

Infinite mist completely blocked the way forward, and Lin Moyu could sense a powerful force contained within the white mist.

It blocked anyone who tried to enter. Ancestor Gu Hanyu said, "Ahead is the Endless Glacier."

"The cold there is even more terrifying. Even those in the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable would be frozen to death in a very short time."

He looked at Lin Moyu as he spoke, silently asking: Are you sure you want to go down with us?

Before Lin Moyu could speak, Elder Tree chimed in to answer for him, "Young Friend Lin will naturally come with us."

"Otherwise, the two of us might not necessarily be able to kill that guy. What if—and I'm just saying what if—"

"—you want to be trapped here for another million years?"

Ancestor Gu Hanyu looked at Lin Moyu. "Whether to go or not…"

…is for him to decide. Do not speak for him." Lin Moyu said…

"This junior will naturally go." Lin Moyu of course had to go. On a larger scale…

…the Black Blood Fist Saint was an enemy of the Origin Continent. As a part of the Origin Continent, he could not let any opportunity slip by.

On a smaller scale, by killing the main body of the Black Blood Fist Saint…

…he could obtain a Great Dao Reward, which would be of immense benefit to his own cultivation.

Whether for public duty or private gain, regardless of the reason, he had to go.

Elder Tree chuckled, "See, I told you. How could Young Friend Lin not go?"

"Your question was completely redundant!"

Ancestor Gu Hanyu nodded. "Since that's the case…"

…then let's go." With a wave of his hand, the mist ahead began to churn.

A passage was quickly revealed, and a powerful cold current rushed out from it, whipping up a fierce wind.

The cold current was so fierce that it was enough to make those in the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable shrink back in fear. Lin Moyu could feel…

…a terrifying power of the Great Dao contained within the cold current. When the cold current blew against his body, it felt as though the Dao of Ice itself was crashing into him.

However, the Dao of Strength did not disappoint him. He still maintained Immunity against such a cold current. Aside from feeling a slight chill…

…he was not frostbitten at all. Seeing that Lin Moyu was completely unharmed, Ancestor Gu Hanyu finally said…

"Follow me!"

Elder Tree also said softly, "Young Friend Lin, walk in the middle."

"I will bring up the rear." Having Lin Moyu walk in the middle was actually to protect him.

Although the Black Blood Fist Saint was suppressed inside, so many years had passed, and no one knew what the exact situation inside was like.

Passing through the mist, the three of them entered the Endless Glacier as wave after wave of cold currents rushed toward them.

Before their eyes was a world gleaming with a silvery luster, with wind, clouds, and mist swirling in the sky.

Swaths of cold currents transformed into whirlpools, spinning in the air. Ancestor Gu Hanyu said in a low voice…

"…watch out for these ice whirlpools. Sometimes they will fall down. Do not get swept away by them."

"Otherwise, there will be danger." Lin Moyu's expression also grew slightly solemn; he could sense the astonishing power contained within the ice whirlpools.

It was not purely coldness; once swept into them, the outcome would not be pretty.

This was clearly Elder Tree's first time entering the Endless Glacier as well, and he couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect the Endless Glacier to look like this."

"It is far from what I imagined." Lin Moyu did not know what kind of Endless Glacier Elder Tree had envisioned.

Here, he could feel a dense power of the Great Dao. Standing here was like standing within the Great Dao itself.

Lin Moyu asked, "Elder Tree, what is it actually like…"

…inside the Outer Heaven Great Dao?"

Elder Tree chuckled, "The Outer Heaven Great Dao…"

…is a magical yet boring place. It's hard to say what it's specifically like, as the world of each Great Dao is different.

"But there is one thing that is quite similar to this place, and that is the power of the Great Dao."

"Within every Great Dao, the power of the Great Dao is constantly radiating. Aside from being used for cultivation, the power of the Great Dao can also…"

"…be used to—" Ancestor Gu Hanyu suddenly interrupted Elder Tree's words, "I've found that guy."

"Let's go." As he spoke, Ancestor Gu Hanyu gave Elder Tree a meaningful look.

Elder Tree immediately understood and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go."

Lin Moyu saw Ancestor Gu Hanyu's gesture and roughly understood what his gaze meant—he was actually telling Elder Tree to stop speaking.

The world within the Great Dao was not yet suitable for him to know. Elder Tree suddenly transmitted his voice:

"It was a slip of my tongue. Some things are indeed not very convenient to tell you yet."

Chapter 3380: Suppression Turns Out to Be Protection

The Great Dao is formless.

This was a truth known to all cultivators. Every cultivator had their own understanding of the Great Dao; ten thousand cultivators…

…would have ten thousand different understandings. The Great Dao appeared differently to every cultivator.

What Elder Tree said was certainly not wrong, but that was only his own perception of the Great Dao.

If he told Lin Moyu directly now, it would very likely cause Lin Moyu to conceptualize a concrete form of the Great Dao. If that happened…

…it would be harmful rather than beneficial to his cultivation. It was precisely because of this that when many people preached the Dao to their juniors…

…they only spoke of principles and would not specifically tell the cultivator what they should do…

…or what the Great Dao looked like. That was why Ancestor Gu Hanyu had interrupted Elder Tree's words and stopped him from continuing.

Elder Tree had also realized this. Far from being angry, he felt somewhat embarrassed instead.

He had almost done a bad thing out of good intentions. Lin Moyu naturally understood the meaning behind Ancestor Gu Hanyu's interruption as well and was not angry in the slightest.

He nodded gently to Elder Tree to show that he understood. Ancestor Gu Hanyu led the way in front…

…navigating through the ice. Through his connection with the exotic treasure, he could sense the approximate location of the Black Blood Fist Saint's Remnant Soul.

After the three of them had walked for nearly half a day, Ancestor Gu Hanyu's expression suddenly changed. "That guy has escaped."

Elder Tree's expression also grew solemn. "How can that be? Didn't you say back then that you had already suppressed him?"

Ancestor Gu Hanyu said, "He was indeed suppressed back then, but so many years have passed."

"It's only normal that he managed to break out. However, even if he escaped, he won't be having an easy time. I can sense…"

"…that the power of suppression is still active. Come, let's go take a look."

Ancestor Gu Hanyu sped up, quickly rushing in the direction of his sensory connection. Lin Moyu noticed…

…that the ice whirlpools in the sky were gradually changing. The ice whirlpools, which originally dotted the sky like stars, began to grow restless.

They were constantly converging toward a certain direction before gradually dispersing again. After walking a bit further…

…Lin Moyu saw ice whirlpools falling from the sky, transforming into Tornado Storms that swept through the Endless Glacier.

Terrifying power continuously spread in all directions. Lin Moyu instantly felt layers of heavy pressure, making even movement difficult for a moment.

This was the suppressive power of the Endless Glacier. Even though they were still far away and it was merely a negligible aftershock…

…Lin Moyu felt as though he would be crushed to death by the suppression. This was the true power of the Great Dao, even stronger than the power of the Great Dao wielded by Ancestor Gu Hanyu.

Facing this power, he was incredibly minuscule. Ancestor Gu Hanyu let out a low shout…

…and a powerful energy erupted from his body, blocking all the pressure for Lin Moyu. Elder Tree tapped his staff gently on the ground…

…and a branch immediately flew out, landing gently on Lin Moyu's shoulder. Lin Moyu only felt his body lighten…

…and was no longer troubled by the pressure. They continued advancing toward the Tornado Storm. Before long…

…they finally saw the actual situation inside the Tornado Storm. Where the Tornado Storm made contact with the glacier, a dark figure was slowly moving.

Its speed was not fast, but every step was incredibly solid. No matter how strong the power of the Tornado Storm was…

…it could not shake the dark figure in the slightest. The moment he saw the dark figure, an intense feeling of revulsion immediately welled up from his soul.

Facing the main body of the Black Blood Fist Saint, the feeling of revulsion was far stronger than before. A murderous intent flickered in Lin Moyu's eyes.

Not only him, but Ancestor Gu Hanyu and Elder Tree also revealed murderous intent in their eyes. Yet, revulsion was just revulsion…

…and Lin Moyu did not lose his mind. His thoughts remained clear. From the Black Blood Fist Saint…

…he could sense an incomparably terrifying power. This power could easily kill him.

A gentle punch from the opponent would likely be enough to turn him to ash. Elder Tree murmured…

"…he really did escape." Ancestor Gu Hanyu said, "He escaped…"

"…but not completely." Lin Moyu could see it too; the Black Blood Fist Saint had indeed not truly escaped.

The power of suppression was still wrapped around his body. He was like a target, and the ice whirlpools would continuously attack him.

The Black Blood Fist Saint's power was immense, and his recovery speed was astonishingly fast, but under the continuous heavy pressure of the ice whirlpools…

…its power was constantly being depleted, making it impossible to truly recover. Therefore, every step it took was very slow…

…and very heavy. In fact, even though it clearly knew they had arrived, it was unable to make any response.

In other words, the current Black Blood Fist Saint was merely a slowly moving target.
