Chapter 2677

At this moment, the Third Ancestor suddenly noticed Xiao Mei standing aside. With a hint of confusion, he wondered about this young girl…

He seemed to have seen her somewhere before. Lin Moyu smiled and said, "It seems you are getting old too."

"Her name is Xiao Mei; she is my newly recruited disciple." The Third Ancestor pondered for a moment.

He shook his head gently, the formation slowly ground to a halt, and the Third Ancestor vanished along with it.

Lin Moyu pushed the door open and stepped out; Lu Li was still waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing Lin Moyu, he immediately broke into a smile. "Is everything settled for Mr. Lin?"

Lin Moyu nodded slightly.

"It's settled." While speaking, Lin Moyu was already walking outside, with Lu Li respectfully escorting him all the way to the gate.

Only when Lin Moyu had vanished from sight did he turn back. Although Lu Li's cultivation wasn't high,

he was very clever in handling matters. Regarding an existence like Lin Moyu, he knew he wasn't qualified to be his friend,

but at the very least, he could ensure he didn't offend him and could make his face familiar; that would be enough.

After the two of them left Lei City, Lin Moyu took out the cloud-piercing sword and began flying on it with Xiao Mei.

The cloud-piercing sword was fast enough that they would reach Wind City in just a few days. Lin Moyu asked,

"Xiao Mei, what do you think of the Third Ancestor?"

Xiao Mei tilted her head and thought for a bit.

"The Third Ancestor is a businessman; he values integrity," Lin Moyu said.

"And?"

Xiao Mei thought again. "And also…"

"He never makes a losing deal. His bottom line is fairness, though if he can gain a little advantage,

that's naturally for the best." Lin Moyu said, "Xiao Mei, you're right."

"Dealing with someone like the Third Ancestor is actually quite good." Xiao Mei nodded.

"Indeed, there's no need for schemes; everything is laid out on the table."

Lin Moyu said, "That's true. Compared to the internal power struggles of some sects and great clans,

it's much better." The cloud-piercing sword flew faster and faster, and Lei City had long since vanished behind them.

Lin Moyu thought back to the days when he had to sneak through the wilderness to escape pursuit; looking back now, it seemed quite interesting.

It was a different kind of experience. Only half a day later, the two arrived at the chaotic land where the origin spirit veins converged.

The convergence land was still in a state of chaos. Once, driven by desperation, Lin Moyu had entered it to hide from enemies,

but because of that, he had recovered the balance gem. To him, it was a great stroke of fortune; the four words 'misfortune and blessing intertwined'

were perfectly illustrated at that time. This time, Lin Moyu didn't need to enter the chaotic land again.

He could enter the Wen Dao Sect's sphere of influence through the passage between Jade Sword City and Dao Sword City. Lin Moyu said,

"On our way to Wind City, we will pass through the Wen Dao Sect and Duantian Territory. Dao Venerable Jiang Ruoxue of the Jiang Family in Fuyou City,

whom I once met, and I promised her a few things. This time, I'll happen to pay a visit."

Xiao Mei looked at the surrounding scenery and had no objections. "That Big Sister Jiang Ruoxue,

is she pretty?"

Lin Moyu asked, "Why are you asking that?"

Xiao Mei said, "I was just guessing if she might become a new mistress."

"Ow!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Moyu tapped her on the head. Lin Moyu said crossly,

"Stop talking nonsense. If you keep talking like that, Teacher won't be polite." Xiao Mei giggled.

She didn't care at all. "I'm not afraid." Back in Shang City,

the Third Ancestor finally remembered why Xiao Mei looked familiar. He had indeed seen her before, but not in this life.

It was in a previous life. As one in the Great Dao Realm, his memory could not be mistaken.

The Third Ancestor's voice slowly rang out, "The soul-severing reincarnation actually succeeded. The signs of the world's upheaval are already beginning to show!"

"How exactly should this great change be guided? I hope my preparations will be useful."

Chapter 3416: Just a Golden Cauldron

Jade Sword City was ancient and vast.

In the city, ice towers towered into the clouds. Lin Moyu brought Xiao Mei into the city,

heading towards the Wen Dao Sect. The last time he came, he was still a Heavenly Venerable.

Upon arriving here, he had been targeted by the old fellows of the Wen Dao Sect and fell into danger. This time,

he was already in the Dao Venerable 5th Realm, and the world felt completely different. Lin Moyu didn't deliberately suppress his aura.

The aura of the Dao Venerable Realm naturally radiated outward. Every cultivator passing by cast looks of awe and respect.

After all, those in the Dao Venerable Realm were still a minority; the vast majority of people could not become a Dao Venerable in their entire lives.

Heavenly Venerable was often their limit, and some might not even reach that.

To become a Dao Venerable on the Origin Continent was already to be at the top of the pyramid.

Xiao Mei asked softly, "Teacher, why did you think of going to the Jiang Family?"

The Jiang Family wasn't a particularly large clan. Lin Moyu thought for a moment and slowly uttered four words,

"To settle karma." Xiao Mei was confused. "Karma."

"Is it really that important?"

Lin Moyu said, "It is very important."

"But it's also not important. Being entangled in karma causes many things to undergo unpredictable changes. If you want to hold everything in your hands,"

"you must either sever karma as much as possible or transcend karma and control it."

"Control karma!"

Xiao Mei repeated those words. How could she not know

how difficult it was to achieve those four words? Since ancient times, who had truly been able to control karma?

The Dao of Karma was mysterious and unfathomable; almost no one could even comprehend it, let alone control it.

It was practically a joke. In front of the passage from Jade Sword City to Dao Sword City, there was a bustling crowd.

Many people were coming and going. The moment Lin Moyu stepped into the passage, the Jade Sword and Dao Sword vibrated simultaneously.

A brilliant seven-colored light lit up from the sky, and sword intent surged, as the two intertwined.

They formed an independent passage. Lin Moyu knew this was the Jade Sword welcoming him, as he had once obtained a sword intent seed from it.

He had gained the Jade Sword's recognition, and since this passage was carved out by the sword intent of the Jade Sword and Dao Sword, he naturally received a bit of preferential treatment.

It was actually quite normal. Many people looked up at this suddenly appearing seven-colored passage, and some even tried to go up,

but they were blasted down by the sharp sword intent before they could even get close. Xiao Mei said, "It's so beautiful."

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Let's go up." Under the watchful eyes of the crowd,

he took Xiao Mei and flew into the seven-colored passage, heading towards the Wen Dao Sect in a superior manner. As the seven-colored passage formed,

at the passage exit near the Wen Dao Sect, a voice suddenly rang out, "Good, good, good."

"Even the Dao Sword knows that this Young Master has arrived and specifically opened a seven-colored passage for me. Not bad, not bad."

A young man, with a hint of arrogance, spoke loudly and unrestrainedly.

He immediately attracted the attention of many people. Some looked on with a bit of disdain and whispered,

"Who is this?"

"Why is he so flamboyant?"

"You don't even know him?"

"His name is Wang Haoyu, the son of the Wen Dao Sect's Sect Master. No wonder he's so arrogant."

"He became a Dao Venerable at a young age, so he indeed has the right to be arrogant." "That's natural."

"He has a good background and has been supplied with all sorts of natural treasures since he was a child; his cultivation speed is naturally not something you or I can compare to."

Wang Haoyu was only a bit over ten thousand years old and was already a Dao Venerable. Although he couldn't compare to top geniuses, he was still an outstanding talent.

Coupled with his background, he could act like a king in the Wen Dao Sect's territory.

Being the center of attention, Wang Haoyu felt like he was being idolized by everyone, becoming even more haughty.

Under the gaze of hundreds of people, he flew up and charged towards the seven-colored passage.

Before he could even get close to the seven-colored passage, a sharp sword intent crashed down, blasting him straight back down.

Caught off guard, Wang Haoyu was slammed into the ground by the sword intent, landing face-first in the dirt.

Extremely pathetic. Wang Haoyu was stunned, and everyone else was stunned too.

Only then did the followers who came with Wang Haoyu run over in a panic, calling him 'Young Master' one after another, and the crowd of onlookers finally reacted.

In an instant, discussions erupted. Some people were desperately holding back their laughter, not daring to make a sound.

Wang Haoyu's face looked incredibly ugly; he felt he had lost a lot of face. This seven-colored passage was not prepared for him at all.

Someone suddenly shouted, "Someone is coming!"

Everyone looked over at the sound.

They saw two figures appear within the seven-colored passage. Lin Moyu and Xiao Mei trod upon the seven colors as if walking on a rainbow.

They approached step by step, seemingly slow but actually fast. Lin Moyu reached the passage exit and his gaze swept over the crowd,

finally landing on Wang Haoyu. A disciple of the Wen Dao Sect. Lin Moyu saw the emblem of the Wen Dao Sect

on Wang Haoyu's clothes. However, since they were now in the Wen Dao Sect's territory, seeing a few Wen Dao Sect disciples was perfectly normal.

Lin Moyu shook his head slightly, then stepped on the wind and vanished into the horizon.

Someone suddenly exclaimed, "So the seven-colored passage was prepared for them! To be able to make the Jade Sword and Dao Sword manifest an independent seven-colored passage,"

"what is their background?"

"No matter what their background is, they won't be ordinary people."

"They are not someone we can compare to." "Indeed, not only can we not compare,"

"some other people can't compare either." Amidst the various discussions, Wang Haoyu's face turned red and white alternately.

He really wanted to slap all these talkative people to death, but the law doesn't punish the masses, and he couldn't do that.

If he really did that, the Wen Dao Sect's reputation would be completely ruined. There weren't just ordinary people here;

some also came from various families, and who knows if there were scions of great families or powerful forces among them. Wang Haoyu snorted.

He said to the followers beside him, "Go and check; who were those people?"

The followers immediately took the order to investigate. This was the Wen Dao Sect; there was nothing they couldn't find out.

On the cloud-piercing sword, Xiao Mei asked, "Teacher,"

"do you think the master of the World's Seventy-Two Swords is very powerful?"

Lin Moyu nodded.

"That's natural. Even if they aren't a Dao Lord, they are at least close to being one."

Xiao Mei said, "I feel that even the seventy-two swords aren't as good as the shenzhou cauldron." Lin Moyu said,

"They indeed aren't as good as the shenzhou cauldron. Right now, only four provinces remain on the Origin Continent, and the seventy-two swords can still suppress it."

"If the Nine Provinces were to reappear, the seventy-two swords would be somewhat insufficient." Xiao Mei sighed,

looking a bit like a world-weary old soul. "What a pity, the shenzhou cauldron is gone."
