Chapter 3467

Knowing the result without understanding the underlying cause is of little use.

What he needed was the process—for instance, seeing how the Wall of Heaven and Earth spat out the origin materials of heaven and earth, and how those materials fused with the qi of heavens beginning.

How life began to be conceived; that was the secret to the origin of heaven and earth. Observing this process might allow one to comprehend the secret of the origin of heaven and earth and explore a higher realm. But telling him this process now was of no use.

Great Venerable Boyang pondered for a few moments before asking, "By that logic, can the secret of the origin of heaven and earth never be explored again?"

"The Wall of Heaven and Earth will no longer spit out origin materials, and the qi of heavens beginning no longer exists in the world."

This secret was naturally difficult to investigate, but it was not absolute. Lin Moyu knew of other methods, but he would not speak of them. For now, he could not divulge matters concerning Great Venerable Tianzai. He smiled. "Perhaps there is still a chance in the deepest parts of the Ancient Wilderness." Great Venerable Boyang paused slightly, then offered a bitter smile.

"To think that the old guy in the North Pole has been struggling for so many years, only for it to end like this. If he had actually managed to get inside, I wonder how he would feel—he'd probably cough up three liters of blood."

Lin Moyu shook his head. "If he had truly gone in, he likely would have died inside. There is a space-time channel within that leads to a remnant of heaven and earth. If he had rushed in blindly, he might not have made it back." Great Venerable Boyang sighed. "Then that would depend on his luck."

Lin Moyu raised an eyebrow, picking up on an underlying implication. Great Venerable Boyang was actually no stranger to the remnants of heaven and earth. Could he know about them? That was impossible; Great Venerables shouldn't know about such things. Lin Moyu remained calm. "Now it is your turn."

Chapter 4559: You Misjudged Great Venerable Tianzai

He had provided information. Great Venerable Boyang should do the same; he shouldn't try to fob him off with some magic treasure. If he really did that, unless the treasure reached the level of the cause-seeking ring, Lin Moyu would only feel disdain. Great Venerable Boyang did not disappoint him.

He produced a jade tablet, recorded the information he wished to convey, and handed it to Lin Moyu. "It's too troublesome to explain; you should read it yourself." Lin Moyu moved his soul power and read the information within the tablet. There was quite a lot of it; it would indeed have been inconvenient to explain.

This was indeed the information he wanted to know. First and foremost, his wives were currently safe and sound. They had been taken in as disciples by Great Venerable Zixing and had each reached the peak of perfection. Working together, the eight of them could rival a Quasi-Great Venerable. They were currently doing something for Great Venerable Zixing, though the jade tablet did not record what that task was.

However, it certainly wouldn't be a simple task. Great Venerable Jin in the South Pole seemed to know something about it, though he only described it as dangerous. Yet, judging by Great Venerable Boyang's attitude, there shouldn't be any danger. Great Venerable Boyang said, "Rest assured, they will be fine." The jade tablet turned to powder in Lin Moyu's hand, his expression calm.

"Which heaven and earth are you exploring?" Great Venerable Boyang's gaze shifted instantly. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Moyu interrupted him. "No need to explain; I've already guessed. Even if you can obtain the qi of heavens beginning from that world, it is actually very difficult to ascend to a higher peak, unless you have something else in your possession."

His tone was certain, giving Great Venerable Boyang no chance to explain. Reflecting on their conversation, Great Venerable Boyang realized where he had slipped up and couldn't help but chuckle. "You really are a little fox." Lin Moyu said, "You must do this. If you are exposed, it will descend immediately." Great Venerable Boyang replied, "We have always been careful."

"You should be careful too. In the past, there were people protecting you, but now that person has gone to walk their own path. I might not always be able to free myself to help." Lin Moyu shook his head. "I don't need your protection. Everyone should just do their own part." Great Venerable Boyang chuckled. "Very well. Oh, right, there is one more thing. You spent several decades in the South Pole previously. That matter has been resolved, right?" Lin Moyu replied, "It has."

"The promise made by Great Venerable Tianzai back then has been fulfilled. In a few hundred years, Great Venerable Jin will regain his freedom." Great Venerable Boyang said, "Good. We have one less enemy. Fellow Daoist Tianzai certainly didn't misjudge him." Lin Moyu sneered inwardly. Great Venerable Tianzai certainly hadn't misjudged him, but they had misjudged Great Venerable Tianzai. Even if Great Venerable Tianzai never intended to harm anyone, sometimes fate took its course; it wasn't always up to him. Many things were beyond even Great Venerable Tianzai's control. Lin Moyu said, "Since you are here, I won't look for anyone else. I need to go to the North Pole and take the Cross-Domain Array from Linbei City."

Great Venerable Boyang laughed. "No problem. I will take you there." The North Pole and the Central Domain were now at war, and Linbei City had been taken over by people from the Upper Domain; even he didn't have the authority to use the Cross-Domain Array. He had originally planned to sneak in, but with Great Venerable Boyang here, there was naturally no need for such trouble.

Great Venerable Boyang did not use a teleportation array. Instead, he produced a flying boat treasure. "This air boat was something I acquired by accident. It is damaged and its effects are not what they once were, but it is still faster than a teleportation array." Lin Moyu could see that this was a supreme treasure, one that had already surpassed the level of the Chaos Realm.

It possessed some miraculous abilities. The level of the air boat should be the same as the due boat; it was also a treasure born in ancient times from the fusion of the qi of heavens beginning and certain origin materials of heaven and earth. The due boat's advantage lay in defense, while the air boat's strength lay in speed. Great Venerable Boyang activated the air boat with his soul power.

The air boat instantly traversed the void. Just a moment later, it came to a stop. They had already arrived at Linbei City. Lin Moyu was stunned for a moment and instinctively said, "So fast?" It took at least five days to travel from the headquarters of the God Alliance to the Wangbei Realm using a teleportation array, and it took over half a day to fly from the Wangbei Realm to Linbei City at Xiao Peng's speed. Yet now, it felt like less than half an hour had passed, and they had already reached Linbei City. This kind of speed was something even a Golden Winged Peng in its prime did not possess.

Great Venerable Boyang laughed. "It is not actually that fast. We traversed a space-time channel. You felt like only a moment had passed, but in reality, a day has already gone by." Lin Moyu recalled the sensation he had just felt. Time had indeed become chaotic, but even if it had been a day, that was fast enough.

Great Venerable Boyang laughed. "I will take you across." Under Great Venerable Boyang's leadership, they entered Linbei City. No matter how much the people of the God Alliance emphasized rules, when facing a Great Venerable, any rule could be altered. Lin Moyu successfully entered the Cross-Domain Array and headed toward the North Pole.

During the teleportation, Lin Moyu used the hidden spirit bead to conceal his presence. At the same time, he asked in the Soul World, "Do you know about the air boat?" Little Tree said, "That was not an air boat. Its real name is the Space-Time Boat, and it possesses the ability to travel through space-time."

Chaos Child said, "Back then, it was the only thing that could rival the speed of a Golden Winged Peng." Little Tree added, "Speed is not its greatest strength. Its most troublesome aspect is its ability to enter space-time and launch attacks on enemies from the past. Its attacks are elusive. It can also disrupt space-time, causing people to fall into chaos and lose control." Chaos Child said, "So what? In the end, it was still destroyed. While this thing's abilities were strong, its combat power was far too weak. It could hit others ten times, and it still wouldn't be as effective as one hit from the enemy."

Fine, in the end, it just lacked sufficient strength. The former Space-Time Boat had its intelligence erased. Now that it had become an air boat, it was just a decent magic treasure. The Cross-Domain Array carried him through the Desolate Scar and into the North Pole once again. This time, with the hidden spirit bead in his possession, he was not discovered by anyone.

The person in white who had intercepted him before was gone, replaced by forces from the Central Domain, who were now stationed here. War fortresses floated in the void, and countless cultivators stood guard, their expressions serious. There was a faint air of murderous intent, yet for some reason, Lin Moyu felt that these people were not strong. He knew this was not an illusion, but a fact—these people were indeed weak.

The hidden spirit bead prevented anyone from discovering him, allowing him to smoothly find the location of the Cross-Domain Array and enter it. A Great Elder of the God Alliance was guarding the array, but Lin Moyu did not disturb him and quickly made his way to the core of the array. At the same time, he deactivated the hidden spirit bead. The statue of Great Venerable Tianzai slowly turned. "You have finally come. You are faster than I thought. Do you have any questions? If not, I shall depart." Lin Moyu asked, "Can you tell me, once the array is fully prepared, when do you intend to launch it?"

Chapter 4560: Can't You Be Gentler?

Great Venerable Tianzai was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "The power to decide this lies with you, not me."
