Chapter 3421

Little Tree said, "It should be possible. Back then, he couldn't enter because his soul had contaminated the ice crystal, so it couldn't be used as a key. Although it has now been refined into a magical treasure, it still remains pure."

Chaos Child also said, "I think there's no problem. At the very least, Master can go and try." Lin Moyu laughed, "You two are quite bold; aren't you afraid there might be danger there?" Chaos Child said, "Even if there is danger, with Master's abilities, you will surely be able to turn danger into safety."

Little Tree said, "Back then, the Han Gu Giant Beast tried to enter that place time and again. There must be something there, otherwise he wouldn't have acted like that. At the time, he was already a top-tier existence, not weaker than me, and even a sliver stronger than this guy. You can imagine what kind of place it is if even he wanted to go there."

Chaos Child shouted in dissatisfaction, "What do you mean 'a sliver stronger than me'? I was never good at fighting to begin with." Little Tree ignored him and continued, "Shall we go or not? Master decides; we have no objections."

Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "After I go to the North Pole, if there is an opportunity, I can go and look for that place."

Little Tree said, "If Master wants to go, we can use the ice jade cushion as a guide, combined with the cause-seeking ring. It shouldn't be a big problem, at most it will just take some time." Chaos Child interjected, "Even if we find it and can't get in, there's really no loss."

He was clearly very curious about what kind of place it was and why the Han Gu Giant Beast had tried every possible means to enter. According to what he knew, besides the Han Gu Giant Beast, quite a few powerful existences had tried to go there, but none could enter. Clearly, that place was extraordinary.

The refinement was entering its final stages. The ice jade cushion was almost completely under control, with only the last sliver of cold air shrouding the mountain of materials rising into a violent wind, turning into white energy, and flowing toward the ice jade cushion.

This cold air had originally come from the ice jade cushion, and now it was being reclaimed, returning to its rightful owner. The cold air on the materials vanished, and the materials were unsealed one after another.

Lin Moyu was not polite; he collected each item as soon as it was unsealed, throwing them all into his storage space and sending them outside the Great Thousand World for the Silver Light Rabbit Clan to process.

The speed of unsealing became faster and faster, and the mountain of materials was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. One could imagine that the several Silver Light Rabbit elders in the storage space must be stunned right now.

They were witnessing a feast of materials. These materials were of high tier; low-tier Chaos Realm materials were rare, and they were basically all high-tier Chaos Realm materials. Even a more powerful Great Venerable had made a move; how could they use Chaos Realm Small Success materials to fool people? That would be far too shabby.

If he really did that, Lin Moyu would laugh at him for a lifetime. The mountain of materials became smaller and smaller, and the refinement was almost completely finished. The moment the mountain of materials completely disappeared, the refinement was also thoroughly completed at the same time.

From then on, the ice jade cushion became his own possession, and it no longer had any connection whatsoever to the Green Robe old man.

After being completely refined, the ice jade cushion underwent a change. It was no longer in the shape of a cushion, but had transformed into a fist-sized hexagonal crystal.

Chaos Child shouted loudly, "It's it. That's right, it's it." Little Tree also said, "This is the ice crystal, the most core object of the Han Gu Giant Beast. Back then, he used the ice crystal to house his soul."

The ice jade cushion was not its original form; the current ice crystal is. The Green Robe old man had not completely refined it, but only refined a part of it, changing its shape.

Now that Lin Moyu had completely refined it and returned it to its original form, he could unleash its maximum efficacy.

The ice crystal was not for cultivation; its most powerful function was freezing—freezing everything, including time, space, techniques, and everything else. It possessed extremely strong offensive capabilities and also extremely strong defensive capabilities. Even the speed of a Golden Winged Peng would be frozen, leaving only the path of defeat and escape.

Chapter 4495: Using Chaos as Chess

Holding the ice crystal in his hand, the sensation was not cold, but rather had a hint of warmth. Lin Moyu had a feeling that if he placed his soul into it, his soul would be protected by it and possess extremely strong defense. However, if he did so, his soul would also be trapped inside, unable to break free from the ice crystal.

It was like a sturdy cage; while protecting the soul, it also restricted it. It seemed that the Han Gu Giant Beast was the same back then—his soul and will entered the ice crystal and could never leave again.

Furthermore, the protection of the ice crystal was not omnipotent. There were always the powers of experts that could bypass its defense and strike directly at the soul's origin, such as the World-Burning Fire. Lin Moyu was very clear that no matter how strong the ice crystal was, it could not block the World-Burning Fire. If he didn't house his soul within it, even though he had refined the ice crystal, he could at most unleash seventy percent of its power. Seventy percent of its power was enough.

Lin Moyu was not greedy in the slightest; he would never place his soul into it. In his hands, the ice crystal was a powerful magical treasure. With his current soul power, driving the ice crystal was enough to freeze Chaos Realm Great Success experts, and it could even affect Chaos Realm Perfection experts. Various techniques could also be directly frozen, and it could even freeze formations and so on. It seemed that in front of the ice crystal, there was nothing that could not be frozen.

This harvest was huge. The Green Robe old man had prepared a massive amount of materials for him, enough for him to use for a very long time.

With these materials, Lin Moyu adjusted his plan. Originally, he had wanted to go to the North Pole first, but now he decided to first go find his Five-World Domain, place the Five-World Domain into his storage space, and at the same time, extract the Lingmiao Domain from within the Five-World Domain to cultivate it independently.

There were also the four Domains 4, 3, 2, and 1. After experiencing the Great Destruction, they had turned back into realm seeds. Now that he had enough materials, combined with the Silver Light Rabbit Clan, he could cultivate them. Finally, there was the Tianxu Land. The Tianxu Land itself was also a Domain and could likewise be refined and cultivated. In this way, his nine Domains would be complete, and then he would find a way to get one more Domain, giving him ten Domains.

As for where to find this tenth Domain, Lin Moyu had already thought about it. Previously, cultivating so many Domains would have required at least ten million years, and also a massive amount of materials. Lin Moyu had long been prepared to travel through the Chaos Ancient Wilderness. Unexpectedly, the Green Robe old man had prepared the materials for him, and he had also obtained the Silver Light Rabbit Clan; everything had become simple.

His consciousness entered the storage space and arrived before the four elders. "How is it? Are these materials enough?" The four elders nodded repeatedly. The Great Elder said repeatedly, "Enough. These materials are enough to cultivate quite a few Domains to perfection."

Lin Moyu said, "If I possess a total of ten Domains, how much time will it take?" The four elders thought for a moment, communicating with each other through their eyes, and the Great Elder answered as before, "Each Domain will require about a thousand years. For ten Domains, it would take ten thousand years. And it also depends on how the Domains start."

"If starting," Lin Moyu said, "starting from realm seeds." The Great Elder said, "Then the time will need to be multiplied by two or three. If there are more people, it can naturally be a bit faster. However, it also depends on the specifics; I'm afraid ten thousand years is still required."

Lin Moyu nodded and let them get back to work. He turned around and had already arrived before Yin Da. Yin Da had already awakened at this time, and his power realm was about to stabilize, lacking only the final bit.

Lin Moyu took a look and determined there were no problems. "Yin Da, proceed as I said. Find 11 Chaos Realm Great Success experts with excellent aptitude. I will come again in a few days, and by then, I hope you have everything ready."

Yin Da immediately replied, "Mr. Lin, rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well." His eyes were full of admiration for Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu was actually able to break the iron laws of heaven and earth, allowing him to break through to the Chaos Realm Perfection realm without a Domain. It didn't look like there was any change, but Yin Da knew very well that his power had truly reached Chaos Realm Perfection.

Although this realm was only useful here, he had never thought about leaving this place. Finding a suitable place to live, bearing children, and propagating offspring, living as long as one can—this was a belief engraved in the deepest part of the Silver Light Rabbit Clan's bloodline.

After giving a few instructions, Lin Moyu left the storage space and stood up to walk out of the room. Without the mountain of materials, this space was just an ordinary warehouse.

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze had set up a chessboard under an old tree not far outside the house to play against someone, only this opponent was none other than himself. Seeing Lin Moyu come out, Deputy Leader Mu Tianze waved his hand, and the opponent dissolved into smoke and dust. He laughed, "Fellow Daoist Lin, do you know how to play chess?" Lin Moyu shook his head, "Lin, I only know how to fight and kill; I have disappointed you, senior."

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze did not mind at all; instead, he laughed heartily. "That is because Fellow Daoist Lin has not lived long enough. If one day you stop fighting and killing, naturally you will learn some other things to pass the time. For example, I created a Chess Soul to play chess with; it's actually quite nice."

As they spoke, Lin Moyu had already walked over and saw the massive chessboard. The chessboard was a magical artifact with 999 lines horizontally and vertically. It was already filled with pieces. The complexity of the game was such that an ordinary person would likely vomit blood and die from just a single glance.

Lin Moyu could see that Deputy Leader Mu Tianze appeared to be playing chess, but in reality, he was tempering his soul. He was playing against his own Dao Heart. Deputy Leader Mu Tianze asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, what do you think of my chessboard?"

Lin Moyu replied, "The chessboard is a Chaos Realm supreme treasure, but Senior's Dao Heart is even more impressive than the board. Senior must be close to attempting to breakthrough to Quasi-Great Venerable, right?"

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze laughed heartily and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin is truly extraordinary. Although you don't play, you can see the profound mystery within it."

"I have been thinking, it is extremely difficult to use chess to attain the Dao, and that final step is always difficult to take. I always feel like something is missing."

Lin Moyu's heart stirred. "This junior has an idea, but I do not know if I should speak it." Deputy Leader Mu Tianze said, "Speak freely." Lin Moyu said, "Senior's path of using chess to attain the Dao is not wrong, but there is one thing Senior has not done correctly."

"In fact, Senior has likely been unable to find an opponent here, so you created a Chess Soul. The Chess Soul has the intent, but it lacks a bit of spirituality, and that bit of spirituality is exactly what Senior needs most."

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze's eyebrows twitched as he listened. He did not interrupt Lin Moyu but instead pricked up his ears to continue listening.

Lin Moyu continued, "The art of chess requires an opponent. Since there is an opponent, there must be a victory or defeat. Since there must be a victory or defeat, there must inevitably be casualties."

"Therefore, this game of chess can be played on the board, or it can be played within the Chaos. Just like the current war in the South Pole, the North Pole is restless, the West Pole is sharpening its weapons, and the East Pole is acting obscurely. Is this not exactly like a game of chess?"

"What if Senior used this as the board?" Deputy Leader Mu Tianze's eyes lit up, and the pieces on the chessboard changed accordingly.

The chessboard changed; it was no longer ordinary chess. It was divided into five regions: Southeast, West, and Central, plus the upper and lower layers. The chessboard turned into Chaos, and the situation of each region was displayed within it. Deputy Leader Mu Tianze manipulated the chessboard as if he were manipulating Chaos itself.

"Chaos as the board, all living beings as pieces. What a grand game of chess!" Deputy Leader Mu Tianze sighed long and hard. "Fellow Daoist Lin's vision is incomparable to ordinary people. I have learned much. If I attain the Dao, I will certainly repay this debt of gratitude."

Chapter 4496: The Peculiar North Pole

After the matter of the chessboard, Deputy Leader Mu Tianze's attitude toward Lin Moyu had changed significantly. His attitude had been good before, but that goodness did not come from the heart. It came from the Green Robe old man; he thought Lin Moyu had some relationship with the Green Robe old man, which was why he was so polite.

But now, a change had occurred in his heart. Lin Moyu's words allowed him to see his own path. The path that had troubled him for countless years and that he thought had come to an end seemed to have a new direction. If he could walk past it, he would be a Quasi-Great Venerable.

His strength would greatly increase, and he could even sit on equal footing with a Great Venerable. He would be able to make a name for himself throughout the entire Chaos.

There are many top Perfection-level Experts in the Chaos, but there are only a few Quasi-Great Venerables. Clearly, becoming a Quasi-Great Venerable is extremely difficult.

It seems like every top Perfection-level Expert has a chance, but in reality, few can walk through it. This is Deputy Leader Mu Tianze's lifelong pursuit. He originally thought hope was slim, but now he had found a glimmer of hope. This debt of gratitude, or rather, this kindness, came from Lin Moyu. He took Lin Moyu away from the small village and headed toward the headquarters of the Central Domain Divine Alliance.

Along the way, he introduced the current situation to Lin Moyu. Although the South Pole and the Central Domain had already started fighting, the battles were not very intense. Most of the time, they were just small-scale skirmishes, and large-scale battles had not yet truly begun.

However, the forces of the Central Domain Divine Alliance were already prepared and ready for large-scale combat at any time. Lin Moyu knew they must have their own sources of information for doing this. Perhaps the South Pole was doing the same. Lin Moyu did not care about this; this was the business of the Central Domain Divine Alliance. Moreover, they had fought each other more than once, and in Lin Moyu's view, they were already used to fighting.

The North Pole was handed over to the Upper Domain God Alliance. Deputy Leader Mu Tianze did not mention the specific situation; it was currently being handled by the Upper Domain God Alliance. Since he chose to trust the Upper Domain God Alliance, he would not interfere too much. The situation in the West was a bit better. Although the West Pole and the Central Domain had also erupted into several major battles, they were still relatively restrained, and the casualties each time were smaller than in the other regions. Now, the strangest thing was the East Pole; the East Pole actually had no movement. But the more this was the case, the more one had to be on guard. Heaven knows what would happen later.

After introducing the situation of the four poles, Deputy Leader Mu Tianze smiled and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin is so young, have you ever experienced a similar major war before?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "I suppose I have experienced it—a major war within a Domain. Although the cultivation realm is not as high as the Chaos, the scale was not small."

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze said, "Then is Fellow Daoist Lin interested in participating? I can let Fellow Daoist Lin lead a team."

Lin Moyu shook his head. "No, I will not participate this time."

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze thought Lin Moyu did not want to take risks and did not force him. "Fellow Daoist Lin must be going to the North Pole this time, right?"

Lin Moyu nodded slightly. "I did intend to transfer from the headquarters to the Wangbei Realm and then use the Cross-Domain Array to go to the North Pole, but now I plan to go to the Wangdong Realm to handle some matters first."

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze said, "Fellow Daoist Lin must have your own reasons for going to the North Pole; I will not ask. I just want to remind Fellow Daoist Lin that the situation in the North Pole is somewhat complex. If Fellow Daoist Lin goes there, be careful in all things. Fellow Daoist Lin should already know some of the situation in the North Pole. I have a document here that is recorded in more detail, which might be useful to Fellow Daoist Lin."

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze took out a jade tablet and handed it to Lin Moyu. Before the matter of the chessboard, he might not have taken this out, but now he remembered Lin Moyu's favor. Their relationship had become much closer. Lin Moyu took the jade tablet. "Thank you, Senior."

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze laughed, "Why be so polite? Come, come. I will take you to visit the headquarters, and then I will send you to the Wangdong Realm."

Entering the Central Domain Divine Alliance headquarters, Lin Moyu clearly felt an aura of killing intent. The Central Domain Divine Alliance headquarters was a magical artifact, and not an ordinary one. It was an Array Treasure with extremely strong combat power, made by combining arrays with various materials into a magical artifact. It was called an Array Treasure. Ordinary magical artifacts would also have arrays engraved on them to enhance their power, but those were based on materials. An Array Treasure was the opposite; it was based on a great array, and then various materials were added to it to eventually form an Array Treasure.

The prerequisite for refining an Array Treasure was that this great array had to be extremely strong. The level had to be very high, and the materials and array disks used to set up the array had to be top-quality. Furthermore, the great array needed to give birth to an array spirit, and it could not be an ordinary array spirit; it had to be a powerful and growing array spirit. Under all these requirements, it was extremely difficult to create an Array Treasure. The Central Domain Divine Alliance had a large number of array masters and artifact refining masters. At the same time, they had all the materials they needed, and the result was only this one Array Treasure.

According to Deputy Leader Mu Tianze's introduction, this Array Treasure had already surpassed the Chaos Realm, and its combat power could rival dozens of Perfection-level Experts. This was even when no one was manipulating it. If the Array Treasure were filled with cultivators—not necessarily Perfection-level Experts, even if they were only Chaos Realm Small Success or Great Success—as long as the number was sufficient, the Array Treasure could gather their power together. As long as there were enough cultivators, this Array Treasure would not fall into a disadvantage even if it fought against hundreds of Perfection-level Experts.

Deputy Leader Mu Tianze even implicitly indicated that even he might not be an opponent for this array. It could be said that the Central Domain Divine Alliance headquarters was the anchor of the Central Domain Divine Alliance. After introducing the Central Domain Divine Alliance, Deputy Leader Mu Tianze brought Lin Moyu to the teleportation array inside the headquarters. This teleportation array was inside the Central Domain Divine Alliance, and its teleportation speed and distance compared to those open to the outside world…
