Chapter 2674

Even without an answer, it had given him some mental preparation. The things the Green Robe old man said…

Aside from the first two sentences that required some thought, the rest was actually quite obvious. Anyone who wasn't too foolish could understand the meaning behind them.

And because the Green Robe old man was afraid of eavesdroppers, he had specifically used this method to tell him.

The Origin Continent seemed to remain unsettled; he could not afford to let his guard down.

Pausing his thoughts, Lin Moyu took the ice jade cushion into his hands. He could feel the power of the ice jade cushion.

It had once torn apart the Black Blood Fist Saint and transformed into the Nine Extremes Glacier to suppress him. Its power…

…was far beyond the category of Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable artifacts; even some Great Dao Realm artifacts were inferior to it. Yet, besides possessing immense power…

…it could actually provide Support for cultivation. Refining it was very difficult and would require a massive amount of time to grind away at.

Lin Moyu could only perform a preliminary refinement for now. He placed the ice jade cushion beneath him, and in an instant…

…a chill rose up, transforming into a faint white mist that spread out. His soul gave a resonant hum.

The speed of condensing Dao Patterns suddenly accelerated. After advancing to the Dao Venerable 5th Realm, the speed of condensing Dao Patterns had slowed down.

Previously, it was one per year, but after the Dao Venerable 5th Realm, it took two years to condense a single Dao Pattern.

It was twice as slow, but now, under the influence of the ice jade cushion, the condensation speed had doubled once again.

It had become one per year again. In this way, he would still only need eighteen years…

…to condense eighteen Dao Patterns and thereby advance to the Dao Venerable 6th Realm. Besides accelerating the speed of condensing Dao Patterns, the ice jade cushion…

…also increased his learning speed for Divine Talismans. Lin Moyu felt that it wouldn't be long before he could take all the Rune Array knowledge he had learned throughout his life…

…and convert them all into Divine Talismans, mastering them completely. By then…

…his ability to set up arrays would inevitably improve significantly, and the Divine Talisman Rune Arrays of the prehistoric era would once again appear in the world.

The ice jade cushion was indeed a good item; it saved him a vast amount of time. His consciousness returned to reality.

Lin Moyu sat in the quiet room without moving; instead, he took out the box given to him by Daoist Tianlei. He also knew…

…that the things Daoist Tianlei gave wouldn't be bad. It was a good time to take a look. The box opened.

An incomparably sharp aura shot out from the box, stirring up a breeze like sword qi in the quiet room. The breeze struck the Sealing Array…

…and actually caused the array to vibrate endlessly. Inside the box lay a small, exquisite sword.

The carved patterns on it were extremely complex; they were clearly individual Divine Talismans. This sword…

…was an artifact from the prehistoric era, but why did he feel so familiar with the aura of this sword?

It seemed like he had seen it somewhere before. After pondering, Lin Moyu finally found the answer.

When Star Lord Yunjian had briefly awakened, the aura he emitted was just like this—almost identical.

Lin Moyu couldn't help but guess, "Could it be that this sword belongs to Star Lord Yunjian?"

Summoning the Thousand Star Great Dao, Lin Moyu quickly found the high and mighty Star Lord Yunjian. At this moment, Star Lord Yunjian was still in a deep slumber.

He had not awakened. Lin Moyu picked up the small sword and brought it close to Star Lord Yunjian.

Star Lord Yunjian's star suddenly lit up, and an invisible force permeated from it, firmly grasping the small sword.

The small sword was dragged over and finally merged into one with Star Lord Yunjian. At this moment…

…Lin Moyu seemed to hear a steady and rhythmic heartbeat. The feeling was as if something was about to wake up. It really was Star Lord Yunjian's artifact.

He wondered if he would wake up after absorbing the artifact. After waiting quietly for a moment…

…Lin Moyu finally heard Star Lord Yunjian's voice again, "Thank you, Dao Lord, for retrieving the natal sword for Yunjian."

Chapter 3412: Method to Become a Dao Lord

Lin Moyu communicated with Star Lord Yunjian.

"How is your recovery?"

Star Lord Yunjian's voice remained weak, "Thank you, Dao Lord."

"I have recovered a little, but the injuries are too severe. It will still take time to fully recover." Lin Moyu said.

"You might have misunderstood one thing. I am not the Dao Lord."

Star Lord Yunjian was silent for a moment. Lin Moyu felt a trace of unusual power; the level of this power was extremely high.

It did not overflow from the Thousand Star Great Dao but flew toward the outside world. Clearly…

…Star Lord Yunjian was sensing the outside world. A moment later, Star Lord Yunjian spoke again.

"What era is it now?"

Lin Moyu said, "The era after the Origin Catastrophe."

"Ten million years have passed." Star Lord Yunjian sighed, "So much time has passed."

Lin Moyu said, "Perhaps for some existences, ten million years is just a snap of the fingers."

Star Lord Yunjian said, "The Great Dao is silent. This time, Dao Lord has reawakened the Thousand Star Great Dao."

"I hope that one day, the Thousand Star Great Dao can regain its glory, and Yunjian will once again be the sharpest sword in the Dao Lord's hand."

Lin Moyu asked with three parts of strangeness, "Why are you so certain that I am the Dao Lord?"

He had already said that he was not the Dao Lord, yet Star Lord Yunjian still insisted that he was. Lin Moyu found it very strange.

Star Lord Yunjian said, "Back when the Thousand Star Army fought until it collapsed, the old Dao Lord once had a prophecy."

"When the Great Dao falls into silence, whoever can reawaken the Thousand Star Great Dao will be the new Dao Lord."

"The old Dao Lord's words are never wrong, so you must be the new Dao Lord. Even if you are not the Dao Lord now…"

"…you will inevitably be in the future." Lin Moyu asked, "Then do you know…"

"…how to become a Dao Lord?" Star Lord Yunjian said, "It is very difficult to truly become a Dao Lord."

"It requires many conditions." Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Tell me about them."

He was finally able to know some information regarding the Dao Lord. Once he knew how to become a Dao Lord, he would have a corresponding goal.

The path he walked would be smoother. Star Lord Yunjian said, "The first requirement…"

"…is to have a First-Class Innate Soul. Just this point alone is already very difficult. Since ancient times, those who could reach a First-Class Innate Soul are extremely rare."

Lin Moyu asked, "Is it just a First-Class Innate Soul?"

"I remember that the same level of Innate Soul…"

"…also has early, middle, and late stages." Star Lord Yunjian said, "The Great Dao also has distinctions of strength and weakness."

"Weak Great Daos have correspondingly lower requirements for the soul. If it is an Origin Great Dao like the Thousand Star Great Dao…"

"…at least the middle stage of a First-Class Innate Soul is required. And for some illusory Great Daos, the late stage of a First-Class Innate Soul is needed…"

"…or even the perfected state. The soul is just one of the conditions to become a Dao Lord; it is a necessary condition…"

"…but not the main condition. Once the soul meets the requirements, another condition must be met."

"Obtaining the Great Dao's recognition. Obtaining the Great Dao's recognition is not that simple. First, one must find a way to communicate with the Great Dao Spirit."

"And to communicate with the Great Dao Spirit, one needs an item. This item is not within the Great Dao…"

"…but in the Soul Void." Lin Moyu's eyes narrowed slightly. "The Soul Void?"

"Does it not have a specific location?"

Star Lord Yunjian said, "That is unknown."

"What I know is only what the old Dao Lord told me. After all, I am not the Dao Lord, just a Star Lord within the Thousand Star Great Dao."

Lin Moyu asked, "Then what if there is already a Dao Lord within the Great Dao?"

Star Lord Yunjian said, "Then it is more complicated."

"One must engage in a Great Dao struggle with the original Dao Lord. The difficulty is immense."

"Very few people can succeed. However, I remember that the number of Dao Lords is not high."

"Especially the Dao Lords of Origin Great Daos; they are even rarer. Many Origin Great Daos…"

"…do not have a Dao Lord. Actually, it is because of this that the Origin Catastrophe descended."

"If those Great Daos all had Dao Lords, the Origin Catastrophe would never have appeared. Even if you gave the Black Blood World and the Celestial God Realm several more guts…"

"…they would not dare to come over." Lin Moyu pondered Star Lord Yunjian's words. "Was this also said by the old Dao Lord?"

Star Lord Yunjian said, "Yes, it was also said by the old Dao Lord."

Lin Moyu pressed on, "What else did the old Dao Lord say?"

Star Lord Yunjian said, "There is nothing else."

"There is nothing else. The old Dao Lord would not tell us many things; there is not much that can be said."

"There seem to be many remnants of the catastrophe on the Origin Continent. These guys might pose a threat to you. I can feel it."

"Currently, the Origin Continent is in a state of isolation. In this state, I cannot make a move on the Origin Continent."

"Dao Lord, you must be careful while on the Origin Continent." Lin Moyu was slightly stunned.

"You can make a move now?"

Star Lord Yunjian said, "The Dao Lord retrieved my natal sword for me."

"I possess the power for one strike. If it were on the Outer Heaven Great Dao, I could make a move to kill enemies for the Dao Lord."

"If I were to forcibly make a move on the Origin Continent, I would be subjected to Heavenly Punishment and might be reduced to ashes."

Lin Moyu asked, "To what extent can your one-strike power reach?"

Star Lord Yunjian said, "It is enough to obliterate a Great Dao Realm cultivator with a Seventh-Class Innate Soul, and it can also severely injure a Sixth-Class Innate Soul."

Hearing this answer, Lin Moyu couldn't help but be surprised in his heart. "What was your combat strength at your peak?"

Star Lord Yunjian said, "Late stage of a Third-Class Innate Soul."

"If I risked my life, I should have been able to trade lives with an early stage Second-Class Innate Soul." Lin Moyu had long guessed that Star Lord Yunjian was very strong.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to become the strongest in the Thousand Star Great Dao. The Thousand Star Great Dao was an Origin Great Dao, and among countless Star Lords…

…the weakest were at the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable, and those slightly stronger were at the Great Dao Realm. As the strongest among them…

…for Star Lord Yunjian to have reached a Third-Class Innate Soul seemed normal. Even though he was now severely injured…

…he was still able to kill a Great Dao Realm cultivator with a Seventh-Class Innate Soul, which was already extremely powerful. You must know…

…that an ancestor of the Gu family like Ancestor Gu Hanyu was only at an Eighth-Class Innate Soul. In other words…

…Star Lord Yunjian could easily kill Ancestor Gu Hanyu. At this moment, Star Lord Yunjian sighed, "It is a pity that Star Lord Miedao went missing back then."

"If he were still here, perhaps the Thousand Star Great Dao would not have fallen into silence." Lin Moyu asked curiously.

"Who is Star Lord Miedao?"

Star Lord Yunjian said, "Among all the Star Lords in the Thousand Star Great Dao…"

"…I am the leader of the Thousand Star Army, and my own combat strength ranks second among all Star Lords. Star Lord Miedao was the first."

"Unfortunately, not long after the Catastrophe broke out, Star Lord Miedao disappeared."

"Not only did the person disappear, but even the position of Star Lord also vanished. I asked the old Dao Lord…"

"…but the old Dao Lord was unwilling to say where Star Lord Miedao went, only saying he had left for some matter. This matter has already passed."

"There is no point in speaking of it now. I can feel the Great Dao Heavenly Punishment approaching; I must go into silence."

"If the Dao Lord has any matters, come and wake me again. Stay safe." After saying this…

…Star Lord Yunjian's aura disappeared. Lin Moyu also faintly felt a powerful force that had already arrived above his head.

Star Lord Yunjian was too strong; he should not exist on the Origin Continent. Even if he only spoke a few words…

…it would attract the Great Dao. Lin Moyu withdrew the Thousand Star Great Dao, took a deep breath, and put away the array.

He pushed the door open and left the quiet room. He had gained a lot from this conversation and knew how to become a Dao Lord.

Moreover, the matter regarding Star Lord Miedao's departure was also worth pondering. A person leaving could be understood.
