Chapter 3304

"You must go there. As for how much time it will take along the way, that depends on each person's strength."

"It is hard to say," Lin Moyu said as he put away the guidance tower. "Thank you, City Lord Pang Qi."

"I am a bit curious. Did a Perfection-level Expert from the outer realms break into the Central Realm some time ago?"

City Lord Pang Qi replied, "It shouldn't be called breaking in; it was more like sneaking in without being discovered."

"But later, he went crazy for some reason and started shouting wildly, which led to him being discovered."

"Then he was hunted down. The Great Venerable once issued an order: if any Perfection-level Expert from the outer realms enters, kill them without mercy. Furthermore, killing them earns merit, and the Great Venerable will provide rewards."

Lin Moyu asked, "Did he escape afterward?"

City Lord Pang Qi replied, "Yes. I don't know how he escaped, but he did."

"However, it is said that those Perfection-level Experts who took action still received the Great Venerable's reward."

There was a thick sense of envy in his tone, as if the Great Venerable's reward was some incredible treasure. Lin Moyu asked, "It seems the Great Venerable is quite generous."

City Lord Pang Qi replied, "The Great Venerable has always been very generous."

"That is the essence of ancestral water! If one could obtain a single drop, their bloodline would inevitably sublimate." Hearing the four words 'essence of ancestral water', Pang Jing's breathing unconsciously became three points heavier.

Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat. essence of ancestral water? He still had that drop of essence of ancestral water; he hadn't used it at all. Moreover, looking at the reactions of City Lord Pang Qi and Pang Jing, the essence of ancestral water was even more valuable than the purple gold fruit.

Lin Moyu did not take out his own essence of ancestral water and asked calmly, "What exactly is this essence of ancestral water?"

City Lord Pang Qi replied, "The essence of ancestral water is a very magical item."

"It has no tiers or grades. It can significantly enhance one's foundational origin. Anyone with at least some cultivation can use it."

"Furthermore, it has no side effects. However, the higher one's cultivation, the better the effect when using it."

"If used on those little guys who have just started, it would be a bit of a waste." According to City Lord Pang Qi, the essence of ancestral water was incredibly magical and a sacred object for cultivation. Although it couldn't increase one's cultivation realm, it could enhance one's foundational origin, which was far better than increasing one's cultivation realm.

Through his description, Lin Moyu was basically certain that his drop of essence of ancestral water was the same as the one City Lord Pang Qi spoke of.

But was this thing really so precious?

He remembered that back in the Origin Continent, many ancestral patriarchs of various races had obtained the essence of ancestral water.

Their essence of ancestral water naturally came from White Robe, but why would he bestow the essence of ancestral water upon the cultivators in the Origin Continent? In his eyes, the Origin Continent was nothing at all. It was something he could wipe away with a mere thought. Unless he asked him in person, it was impossible to get an answer to this question.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Perhaps in the future, you might also obtain the essence of ancestral water."

City Lord Pang Qi laughed aloud, "Thank you for your kind words, Fellow Daoist Lin, but I'm just thinking about it."

"After all, it is too difficult to obtain the Great Venerable's reward. Something like this incident hasn't happened in many years."

"Unless…" Lin Moyu asked, "Unless what?"

City Lord Pang Qi replied, "Unless a great war breaks out between the extreme realms, and one earns merit at that time. The Great Venerable will then distribute rewards."

Lin Moyu was clearly not clear about what City Lord Pang Qi was saying. City Lord Pang Qi laughed, "I've strayed too far, strayed too far. It's better that such things don't happen, otherwise, who knows how many experts would fall."

As they walked and talked, they unknowingly arrived in front of a plaza. On this plaza, there were also many arenas floating in mid-air.

There were many similar plazas in the Luoyu Realm, with large numbers of cultivators fighting at all times. As for who could obtain the purple gold fruit and when they could obtain it, it was entirely up to the Purple Gold Divine Phoenix; there was absolutely no pattern.

Sometimes, while fighting, a purple gold fruit would just appear, and it would even fly into the winner's hand on its own. Others wouldn't be able to snatch it even if they wanted to.

Lin Moyu now understood the method for obtaining the purple gold fruit. He had no interest in the arena battles.

City Lord Pang Qi was a bit puzzled, "Fellow Daoist Lin doesn't seem interested in the purple gold fruit."

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "If I am fated to have the purple gold fruit, even if I don't seek it, I will naturally obtain it. If I am not fated, I cannot force it."

City Lord Pang Qi laughed, "Fellow Daoist Lin is truly not an ordinary person. Let's go, let's go. Let's go to another place; a big show should be starting there."

Lin Moyu smiled and asked, "What big show?"

City Lord Pang Qi replied, "One of the main events of the Three Phoenix Festival. It is called 'Purple Gold Seeking the Phoenix'. It is held twice every hundred years."

"Once at the beginning and once at the end. It just so happens that this time, the 'Purple Gold Seeking the Phoenix' in the Luoyu Realm is in my Seventh City, and it happens to be today."

Lin Moyu chuckled, "Such a coincidence. In that case, I must go and take a look."

City Lord Pang Qi said, "I have already ordered people to pick the best spot. Please, Fellow Daoist Lin!"

Under the guidance of City Lord Pang Qi, they passed through half of the Seventh City and arrived at the center of the city.

Here, there was a huge altar. In the center of the altar stood three 100,000-meter-tall statues of the Divine Phoenix. At this moment, a large number of people were kneeling before the statues of the Purple Gold Divine Phoenix, chanting some mysterious aria. Before the statues, there was a mountain-like pile of Chaos Gold.

Amidst the chanting, the statues of the Purple Gold Divine Phoenix were emitting a faint light. As the City Lord, City Lord Pang Qi had arranged an excellent position for himself, allowing him to overlook the entire event. Lin Moyu took a few looks.

Chapter 4323: It's About the Same as an Apple

He whispered, "Is this a sacrificial ceremony?"

City Lord Pang Qi smiled, "Fellow Daoist Lin has sharp eyes. This is indeed a sacrificial ceremony, but it is somewhat different from ordinary ones. As for what the difference is, Fellow Daoist Lin will know as you watch."

He could feel that a vast Power of Belief was surging from the people worshipping and rushing into the mountain-like pile of Chaos Gold. The Chaos Gold then resonated with the statues of the Purple Gold Divine Phoenix.

The statues shed purple light, illuminating the Chaos Gold. Soon, the Chaos Gold also began to radiate bursts of purple light, and the Chaos Gold transformed into Chaos Purple Gold.

The Chaos Purple Gold emitted an even more powerful force, more than ten times stronger than before. A beam of treasure light shot straight into the sky.

This was practically telling everyone that there was a treasure here. But being in the Luoyu City, in the territory of the Divine Phoenix Clan, no one dared to act recklessly. The Divine Phoenix Clan was the ruler of this region.

In the Central Realm, they were also an extremely domineering and powerful existence. Apart from the Great Venerable, they feared almost no one.

Fortunately, the Divine Phoenix Clan understood the way of survival well; they usually did not make enemies with others, and when encountering issues, they mostly reasoned first.

But this could not hide their strength. If anyone dared to cause trouble at the Three Phoenix Festival, they would face the disaster of annihilation.

Viewed from afar, the treasure light soared into the sky, and the Chaos Gold was dyed purple gold. Its value was much higher than before, but no one dared to covet it. Countless people were just…

"The Power of Belief can be used this way?" Lin Moyu thought to himself. He saw through the underlying details at a glance. It was nothing more than the Power of Belief merging into the Chaos Gold, enhancing the Chaos Qi within it. As for the purple gold luster, that was bestowed by the Purple Gold Divine Phoenix. It could also be red gold, blue gold, or black gold; the color was just a form of expression.

The purple gold beam of light became stronger and stronger, swirling a large area of the void into a purple gold color. Accompanied by a crisp bird cry, a Divine Phoenix with a body size exceeding 100,000 meters emerged in the void. All the purple gold light gathered on its body, and it quickly condensed into shape.

It let out another crisp cry, and a large number of Divine Phoenix Clan members around prostrated on the ground, calling out "Purple Gold Divine Phoenix".

Even City Lord Pang Qi knelt on the ground. At this moment, he was not a City Lord, but just a devout clansman of the Divine Phoenix Clan.

"Rise!" A crisp voice rang out, and everyone then slowly stood up.

Lin Moyu stood there without kneeling. He had already seen through it; this Purple Gold Divine Phoenix was a member of the Divine Phoenix Clan.

Using their own Power of Belief, they borrowed the power within the Chaos Gold to summon a wisp of the Purple Gold Divine Phoenix's soul here, and then used the Power of Belief to condense it into shape.

It was basically like that, but thinking about it, it wasn't that simple, especially with the look in City Lord Pang Qi's eyes at this moment. They were full of anticipation, as if waiting for something.

The Purple Gold Divine Phoenix's eyes were slightly closed. A vortex appeared in front of it. The vortex twisted space, forming a deep spatial passage.

No one knew what was at the other end of the spatial passage. "It's here, it's coming!" City Lord Pang Qi muttered, his voice somewhat excited.

It wasn't just City Lord Pang Qi; almost all the Divine Phoenix Clan members were staring at the vortex in front of the Purple Gold Divine Phoenix at this moment. Purple light flashed.

A purple fruit slightly larger than an adult's fist flew out from the vortex. The fruit was covered with small golden dots. Lin Moyu knew this was the purple gold fruit that many people dreamed of.

The purple gold fruit flew out of the vortex and stopped in mid-air, motionless. No one present moved to take it.

Then another purple gold fruit flew out of the vortex, followed by one after another. More and more purple gold fruits flew out.

The purpose of this sacrificial activity was for the purple gold fruit—to contribute a large amount of Power of Belief to the Purple Gold Divine Phoenix, and then exchange it back for purple gold fruit from the Purple Gold Divine Phoenix.

This was also what City Lord Pang Qi meant by
