Chapter 3420

Presenting it to Fellow Daoist Lin, Lin Moyu asked,

"What is it?"

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze said,

"Just some materials of no great value.

However, the Alliance Leader said that Fellow Daoist Lin would need them, so we prepared some."

The Alliance Leader Deputy Leader Mu Tianze spoke of was nine times out of ten Green Robe, who wanted to give him something.

Why didn't he deliver it in person instead of doing it through Deputy Leader Mu Tianze? Could it be…

…there was some restriction involved?

He recalled that when Green Robe once descended to the Origin Continent, he had mentioned that walls have ears.

It seemed there were indeed some things he could not easily do himself and had to leave to others. Entering the village,

Lin Moyu immediately felt dozens of wills land on him, scanning him back and forth.

Some of these wills from top-tier powerhouses carried goodwill, while others were full of aggression.

It was as if they wanted to see right through him inside and out. No matter who it was, doing this was highly impolite.

It could even be seen as a Taunt. If it were anyone else, given the other party's status and power,

they would have no choice but to endure it. But Lin Moyu would not indulge them; the World-Burning Fire surfaced on his body.

In an instant, it burned all the wills to ashes. Muffled groans rang out one after another from various locations in the village, as anger flared up at the same time.

Chapter 4493: The Green-Robed Elder's Little Test

These old fellows were clearly displeased with what Lin Moyu had done. Deputy Leader Mu Tianze spoke slowly, "All of you, take it easy.

Fellow Daoist Lin is the Alliance Leader's guest. Don't cause trouble." Deputy Leader Mu Tianze's voice spread throughout the small village.

The aura in the village instantly returned to normal. No one dared to show anger, and no one pried into Lin Moyu again.

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze smiled at Lin Moyu and said,

"Fellow Daoist Lin, don't mind them. They've just been staying here for too long.

When an outsider occasionally comes by, they find it very novel." Lin Moyu said,

"Do these seniors usually not go out?"

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze said,

"They basically don't go out. Most of these old fellows are all alone, so there's nothing for them to do outside.

They have no hope of becoming Great Venerables, and they don't dare to strive for Quasi-Great Venerable either. This is how their lives will be."

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze spoke very bluntly, but he was telling the truth. Everyone in the village could hear his words,

yet no one refuted him, and not even their auras wavered. Clearly, this was not the first time Deputy Leader Mu Tianze had said such things.

Everyone had grown used to it. Becoming a Great Venerable was naturally out of the question, and they didn't dare to strive for Quasi-Great Venerable.

It seemed these people's ambition was not grand enough, at least not as much as Venerable Wine's. Striving for Quasi-Great Venerable naturally carried danger, but how could one gain anything without taking risks?

Lin Moyu offered no comment on this. Everyone had their own choices and had to take responsibility for them.

As long as they didn't regret it. Deputy Leader Mu Tianze led Lin Moyu to a small cabin. "The things are inside.

Go on in, Fellow Daoist Lin. They are all yours, so don't be polite."

Lin Moyu pushed open the cabin's wooden door. It seemed to have fallen into disrepair over the years, letting out an unpleasant creaking sound.

There was a separate space inside the cabin. Upon entering, the space expanded rapidly.

Visually, it was over ten thousand meters wide and high. In this massive space, materials were piled up like mountains.

A trace of chill was flowing, and the surface of every material was covered with a layer of pure white ice. The materials had been frozen and then piled together.

Even if their attributes conflicted, it didn't matter. This was prepared for him by the Green-Robed Elder.

Lin Moyu found it a bit strange. How did he know that he needed a massive amount of materials? Compared to the materials he had collected before,

the materials before his eyes were ten million times better. Could it be that he had known all along…

…that he would go to the Silver Light Rabbit Clan?

No, that wasn't it.

He probably didn't know about the Silver Light Rabbits. He only knew that he would nurture his Domain.

Thus, he had prepared the materials in advance. Nurturing the Domain was the path arranged by Great Venerable Tianzai, and the Green-Robed Elder was also involved in it.

However, they certainly couldn't have calculated the matter of the Silver Light Rabbit Clan. This was a path that belonged to him. With the Silver Light Rabbits,

he could walk much faster. Previously, he had still been wondering where to get materials.

Now, the materials had been delivered right to his doorstep. With these materials, his Domain's nurturing speed could be further accelerated.

The ancient ice could also be kept for now, to be used when compressing the power of the Domain later. Lin Moyu wanted to put these materials away,

but he found that the mountain of materials did not budge at all. A force locked them firmly in place, making them impossible to move even a fraction of an inch.

The force was very strong. Lin Moyu could feel that this power surpassed the Chaos Realm.

It was a power belonging to a Great Venerable. The Green-Robed Elder had placed the materials here, completely unafraid of anyone taking them.

It wasn't a formation, so naturally, there was no formation to break. To obtain these materials,

he still needed to meet certain conditions. This old man really didn't make things easy.

Lin Moyu chuckled, knowing that this was a small test set by the old man Green Robe, not meant to make things difficult for him.

In all likelihood, he was just bored and looking for some amusement. Perhaps…

…he was watching him from somewhere right now. Looking around,

he found nothing. This space was extremely vast, with three mountains of piled materials in total.

They were arranged in the positions of the Three Talents. The Three Talents was a formation, yet not a formation.

It did not form an actual formation but merely occupied three positions. And these three positions…

…were also the only points to study. Lin Moyu sized up the three mountains of materials and noticed that although they were different,

their heights were surprisingly identical, and the material at the very peak of each mountain was exactly the same.

This was very strange. The materials were of all kinds, looking as if they had been placed at random by the Green-Robed Elder,

yet the identical materials at the mountaintops made it seem somewhat deliberate. Furthermore, these three pieces of material…

…all had surfaces as smooth as mirrors. After a few glances, Lin Moyu already knew what was going on, and a smile couldn't help but play on his lips.

He flicked his finger, sending out a ball of firelight that transformed into a blazing sun, illuminating the entire space.

It rose slowly between the three mountains until it was level with their peaks. The materials at the mountaintops were illuminated by the light,

reflecting three beams of light that overlapped and shone precisely on the ground. Under the illumination of the light,

some subtle traces appeared on the ground. Lin Moyu distinguished the traces; although faint,

he could still tell that they were left by a circular object. There were some extremely blurry patterns on the traces.

They seemed to have no meaning, but how could traces deliberately left by the Green-Robed Elder have no meaning?

Lin Moyu only took a few glances before knowing what to do. With a wave of his hand,

the ice jade cushion flew out on its own. The subtle traces on the ground were exactly the same as the patterns on the ice jade cushion. Combined with the cold energy on the materials,

it was clear that he had to use the ice jade cushion to obtain these materials. He let the ice jade cushion land on the ground, then enlarged it.

It covered the entire trace perfectly, but there was no reaction; the ice jade cushion remained as it was.

The same was true for the mountains of materials. After some thought, Lin Moyu sat upon the ice jade cushion and began to activate it.

This was a supreme treasure. Even though he had only used a fraction of its power, it had provided him with considerable assistance in his Domain.

However, after entering the Chaos, he had never used the ice jade cushion again. It wasn't because the ice jade cushion wasn't powerful enough,

but because he had been unable to refine it and thus could not unleash its full power. Lin Moyu understood the Green-Robed Elder's intention.

He wanted him to refine the ice jade cushion. To refine the ice jade cushion, his soul had to reach Chaos Realm Perfection at the very least.

In truth, this was also testing his cultivation strength from another angle. To nurture his Domain,

he had to do so before reaching Chaos Realm Perfection; once he reached Perfection, it would be too late. In other words,

the Green-Robed Elder required his soul to reach that level first, before his cultivation reached Chaos Realm Perfection—his soul had to transcend his cultivation realm.

This was his requirement. Lin Moyu did not know if this was the Green-Robed Elder's own idea, or if…

…it was also something Great Venerable Tianzai had arranged beforehand. But that was not important. What mattered was that he was now fully capable of refining the ice jade cushion.

He hadn't had the time to do it before, but this time, for the sake of so many materials, he would do it.

The ice jade cushion was strong, but the path he walked now was different, and he did not want to rely too much on external objects.

"Then let's refine it." With a single thought, his majestic soul power surged into the ice jade cushion.

He began to refine it. Lin Moyu's soul power at this moment had already surpassed Perfection. Perhaps it was still slightly inferior to a Great Venerable's,

but it was not the least bit weaker than that of some Quasi-Great Venerables. Refining the ice jade cushion posed absolutely no pressure.

His soul power washed over the ice jade cushion wave after wave like a tsunami. The connection between them deepened rapidly, and the speed of refinement was beyond imagination.

For a supreme treasure like this, an ordinary cultivator at Chaos Realm Perfection might take hundreds or thousands of years just to refine a portion of it.

But for Lin Moyu, it would only take a dozen or so days. As the refinement deepened,

the ice jade cushion emitted an astonishing chill, beginning to resonate with the cold energy in the mountains of materials. The entire space was frozen.

Lin Moyu discovered that the chill of the ice jade cushion actually bore a thirty percent resemblance to the ancient ice…

Chapter 4494: ice crystal, That Place

Lin Moyu believed his perception could not be wrong. The ice jade cushion definitely had some connection to the ancient ice, or more precisely, to the Han Gu Giant Beast. He threw this question to Little Tree and Chaos Child. After both carefully sensed the ice jade cushion, they confirmed Lin Moyu's thoughts.

Little Tree said, "Previously, Master had not refined the ice jade cushion, so nothing could be seen. Now it seems the ice jade cushion was likely refined from the corpse of the Pan Gu Giant Beast."

Chaos Child said, "Though both are parts of the Han Gu Giant Beast's corpse, I always feel there is something different about the two of them."

Little Tree said, "Your feeling is probably correct. The ice jade cushion must have used the soul essence of the Han Gu Giant Beast."

Chaos Child was clearly somewhat surprised. "You're saying the ice jade cushion was refined from that guy's soul essence?" Little Tree said, "I only said 'likely'; I didn't say it was one hundred percent."

Chaos Child wore an expression that said, "As if I don't know you."

"If you weren't sure, you wouldn't have said it at all. You must have seen something."

Little Tree said, "I have interacted with the Han Gu Giant Beast before, but even so, I am only sixty percent certain."

"That it is indeed his soul essence." Chaos Child suddenly lowered his voice, his tone carrying a hint of mystery.

"If it really is that guy's soul essence, can we go take a look at that place?" Little Tree said, "Perhaps we can."

Chaos Child said, "Then it's settled. As long as there's a chance, we must go take a look. I've wanted to know what that place is like for a long time."

Little Tree said, "Whether we go or not depends on Master's wishes. Your words don't count." Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Moyu said nothing. He was in no hurry, waiting for them to explain to him while he continued to refine the ice jade cushion.

Lin Moyu gradually distinguished the difference between the ice jade cushion and the ancient ice. Both originated from the Han Gu Giant Beast and similarly manipulated the power of ice and cold, but the power of the ice jade cushion was clearly much more pure. If the ice jade cushion were unleashed with full force, the power erupted could surpass the Ancient Ice Emperor. Perhaps, as Little Tree said, the ice jade cushion was indeed refined from the soul essence of the Pan Gu Giant Beast.

Having talked enough, Little Tree and Chaos Child began to explain to Lin Moyu what soul essence was.

"Back then, the first block of ice was conceived in the Chaos. This ice birthed a will and became a terrifying giant beast, which was the Pan Gu Giant Beast. In the core of this ice was a special ice crystal, which was the core of the Han Gu Giant Beast, accounting for ninety percent of its total power."

"The ice crystal evolved and became its soul essence, carrying its soul. Later, after the Pan Gu Giant Beast died, the soul essence's whereabouts became unknown. Little Tree has never seen the soul essence, so he cannot be one hundred percent certain either."

"As for 'that place' Chaos Child mentioned, it is an extremely special place in the Chaos. It is said that the emergence of the Han Gu Giant Beast was related to that place."

"However, that place cannot be entered by ordinary means, and the ice crystal is the key to entering it. It's just that after the ice crystal turned into soul essence, even the Pan Gu Giant Beast could no longer enter. The reason that place became known to others is that the Pan Gu Giant Beast tried to enter countless times, only to end in failure every time, which led to its discovery."

"As for what exactly is there, no one knows. At that time, there were many speculations in the Chaos, but they were all a mess, with no definitive answer."

Chaos Child said, "That place is in what is now the North Pole. Actually, the Han Gu Giant Beast was also in the present-day North Pole back then. The ancient ice only drifted to the West Pole after its death. Now that guy is dead and its soul has vanished, the soul essence has turned back into an ice crystal. Perhaps it can be used as a key again,"

"Master can go there to take a look."

Lin Moyu said, "Even if it turned back into an ice crystal, since it has already been refined into the ice jade cushion, it might not necessarily work as a key."
