Chapter 3525

He flew out of the mist and continued heading deeper into the space.

Chapter 4659: Canglong's Plan

Lin Moyu shuttled between layers of mist.

The terrifying mist, capable of causing a Great Venerable to perish, was ignored by him. Some of the denser mist contained stronger power from the Life Forbidden Zone.

Lin Moyu would suffer minor injuries, but they were only superficial. After the Power of Life circulated, the wounds healed in the blink of an eye, and not even a drop of blood would flow out. He didn't need to avoid the mist, and his travel speed was astonishingly fast.

He was tracking the soul aura of Great Venerable Jiuyue and approaching rapidly. He didn't know how long Great Venerable Jiuyue had been here or how deep she had gone, but that didn't matter; his speed was countless times faster than hers.

He would be able to catch up in a few days. The soul aura was becoming increasingly concentrated and closer, while the mist was also becoming denser.

The power was getting stronger, but Lin Moyu continued to traverse through the mist; it was nothing more than suffering some superficial injuries.

Lin Moyu couldn't be bothered to dodge; instead, he felt quite refreshed.

Ten days later, Lin Moyu finally saw Great Venerable Jiuyue in a corner.

Great Venerable Jiuyue was standing in a corner. Not far from her, mist swirled. She looked somewhat nervous, staring intently at the mist.

Quite a bit of the mist was slowly flowing, but its direction was erratic and constantly changing, making it hard to predict. Lin Moyu knew she was looking for gaps; only in the gaps of the flowing mist could she pass through safely.

Her attention was extremely focused, and she was completely unaware of his arrival. Lin Moyu did not disturb her and just watched quietly from a distance.

Finally, Great Venerable Jiuyue seized an opportunity and flew quickly through between two clusters of mist.

Her speed was fast, and her control was very precise, without a single error. It seemed this was the method she used to go deeper and deeper. He didn't know how long she had been walking, but they were about to reach the destination.

Lin Moyu cast his gaze into the distance; about ten thousand li away, a brilliant gem was shining. The world core emitted a fascinating luster, full of allure.

It seemed to be telling everyone that it was the most beautiful existence in the world, and that was indeed the case for a world that hadn't completely collapsed.

Its world core was indeed perfect; this was a kind of ultimate perfection, a beauty without any flaws.

It was completely different from the cores in the world ruins. The hongmeng gem said, "She actually found the world core. Unfortunately, she cannot refine it. Outside the world core, there is mist swirling."

"There is absolutely no passage. Great Venerable Jiuyue cannot break through this mist at all, let alone refine the world core."

Lin Moyu looked at the world core; faintly, he saw that there was something inside.

"There is something in the world core. There is something. Let me take a closer look."

The hongmeng gem immediately stared over, muttering to itself, "How could there be something in the world core?"

"Strange, there shouldn't be anything. The world core is not only perfect but should also be pure; it should only contain the qi of heavens beginning."

"But now, Lin Moyu discovered that inside the world core of the Canglong World there was something. He wouldn't be mistaken, he just couldn't tell what it was. Perhaps the hongmeng gem could see the clues." The hongmeng gem's gaze was as sharp as lightning.

It pierced through the surface of the world core and saw the situation inside. It was also very surprised; there really was something.

After a pause, it continued, "There are two things. One is the Tianchu Technique, the Tianchu Technique of the Canglong World."

"Canglong probably sensed that the world was going to collapse, so he put the Tianchu Technique into the world core."

"There is also another thing: that strange object he obtained, something that can extend the lifespan of a world. All the Supreme Experts thought he had integrated this object into the world."

"I didn't expect it to be placed in the world core." Lin Moyu asked, "What is the difference?" The hongmeng gem said, "If this thing were integrated into the world, it would cease to exist, but its effect would be maximized. Now that it is just placed in the world core, although it is still effective, it only exerts half of its effect at most. The advantage is that this thing can still exist."

"It can be taken out and reused in the future. I understand; he wanted to use this thing to extend the world's lifespan first, and then continue to use expedition teams to search for the qi of heavens beginning, until the expedition teams had no gains, and then use this thing."

"He treated this thing as a trump card." Lin Moyu shook his head, "No, that's not it. This thing must have other uses; it's not as simple as just extending the world's lifespan."

"He must have known, which is why he was reluctant to integrate this thing into the world, but he didn't want others to continue fighting over it, so he deceived them."

"If it were only for extending the world's lifespan, directly integrating it into the world, and the expedition teams continuing to search for the qi of heavens beginning, there is no conflict in itself."

"Therefore, Lin Moyu was certain that Canglong, this Supreme Expert, definitely did not intend that. It was just that he didn't expect the worlds to collapse collectively, and his previous ideas and plans were all burned to ashes." The hongmeng gem thought for a moment, "Master's words make sense, but what else could it be used for?"

Lin Moyu said, "Take it and study it, and we will know. Furthermore, I think he has other ideas."

The hongmeng gem instinctively asked, "What ideas?" Lin Moyu said, "Just a guess. A Great Venerable isn't that easy to die."

"A Supreme Expert's survival ability must be even stronger. His corpse is still preserved intact, with the Tianchu Technique and that strange object both placed in the world core. Guess what he wants to do?" The hongmeng gem blurted out, "He wants to resurrect."

Lin Moyu said, "It cannot be called resurrection. To be precise, he probably hasn't truly perished. There isn't just two things in the world core."

"To be accurate, there are three things. Inside that strange object that can extend the world's lifespan, there is a cluster of Soul Fire."

"It is burning fiercely. The Soul Fire is not powerful; in fact, it is somewhat weak."

"It is in a state of slumber, but it truly exists. Although weak, its essence is astonishing, surpassing that of a Great Venerable."

"If you compare a Great Venerable's soul to a huge piece of iron, then the soul in the world core is a grain of steel."

"Although steel is small, its essence surpasses iron. This is the soul belonging to a Supreme Expert, and it is also the soul belonging to Canglong."

"Canglong stored a trace of his soul in that strange object, waiting for the right moment to return. Therefore, he did not die, and it cannot be called resurrection. He has always been here." Great Venerable Jiuyue's soul avatar acted again.

She moved like a snake, weaving between several clusters of deadly mist, getting a few points closer to the world core.

The light of the world core had already enveloped her, and at the same time, it emitted a soft hum. The world core seemed to have discovered her existence; to be precise, it was the soul hidden within the world core.

Canglong's trace of soul discovered her existence, and the core bloomed with an unusual brilliance.

It illuminated the surroundings. Great Venerable Jiuyue's soul avatar's eyes instantly lost focus.

The next moment, Great Venerable Jiuyue flew straight toward the world core, completely ignoring the deadly mist in front of her. "Oh no."

Lin Moyu's heart stirred, realizing that Great Venerable Jiuyue had been affected by the world core and had lost control. Once her soul avatar touched the mist, she would definitely die, and even her consciousness would be obliterated. By then, Great Venerable Jiuyue would truly become a living dead person until a brand new will was born.

But by then, she would no longer be herself. If it were normal times, Lin Moyu wouldn't bother to care; what did this have to do with him?

Chapter 4660: You Should Know, You Can't Kill Me

Now, for the sake of the Tianchu Technique, he had to intervene. He instantly accelerated, turning into a stream of light.

He crashed through the deadly mist and, just before Great Venerable Jiuyue touched the mist, pulled her back.

"Wake up." Lin Moyu blocked the light of the world core for Great Venerable Jiuyue, while simultaneously sending over a massive amount of the Power of Life.

Great Venerable Jiuyue woke up with a start. Her eyes widened suddenly, and she shouted sternly, "Who are you?"

Her voice was filled with vigilance, and the pressure belonging to a Great Venerable swept out, but it had no effect on Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu said, "Put away your aura; it's useless against me. I was entrusted by Venerable Jiuri to come in and find you." Great Venerable Jiuyue was slightly stunned. "Big Brother sent you?"

Lin Moyu said, "To be precise, he invited me, and he paid a price." Great Venerable Jiuyue instinctively asked, "What price?" Lin Moyu chuckled, "You will know when you go back."

"Finding you was really difficult, but at least it's good that you're still alive. As expected of a Great Venerable, your survival ability is quite strong."

Great Venerable Jiuyue calmed down and examined Lin Moyu.

"You are only at Chaos Realm Perfection; how could you get in here?"

Lin Moyu said, "Sometimes strength and cultivation realm have no necessary relationship. You are a Great Venerable; don't you understand such a small thing?"

"Is this a small thing? She, a dignified Great Venerable, was walking on thin ice here. She could perish at any time. A little guy at Chaos Realm Perfection could actually arrive here easily. How could this be a small thing?" Great Venerable Jiuyue pressed, "How long have you been in?" Lin Moyu calculated, "According to the time of the Chaos Ancient Wilderness, it should be a few years."

Great Venerable Jiuyue exclaimed, "Impossible! How could you have only been in for a few years?"

Lin Moyu said, "I know you have been in for a long time, probably tens of thousands of years, but this is the fact. Enough with the nonsense. You want to refine this world core, right?" Great Venerable Jiuyue said, "So this thing is called the world core. World… do you mean this is another world?"

Lin Moyu was speechless. "You don't know anything? Then how did you find this place?" Great Venerable Jiuyue said, "Naturally, I followed my feelings. I felt that as long as I could refine this thing, I could go back."

Lin Moyu thought to himself, "A Great Venerable's intuition is indeed quite accurate." He continued, "Your intuition is correct. Refining this thing indeed gives a chance to find the way back, but you cannot refine this thing."

Great Venerable Jiuyue hummed, "Yes, I almost died just now."

She still had self-awareness, knowing that she almost died just now. She looked at Lin Moyu with a strange gaze.

She couldn't see through Lin Moyu at all and really couldn't understand how Lin Moyu found this place in such a short time. She had spent tens of thousands of years finding it from that huge underground maze, and it took her thousands of years to walk here while walking on thin ice, but he had been in for less than a few years and had already arrived here; it was truly unimaginable.

Lin Moyu asked, "I saw on the surface the palm prints you left behind. What do these palm prints mean? Although I have a guess, I still want to know the definite answer."

Great Venerable Jiuyue said, "I was teleported back to the surface many times from the underground maze, and each time the place I returned to was different. After many times, I summarized some experience. I roughly delineated the scope of the underground maze, and from the scope of the maze, I calculated the depth to find the correct path. These palm prints are my tests of the underground maze."

Lin Moyu said, "Those palm prints are all the places where you were teleported out."

Great Venerable Jiuyue said, "Yes, the distance between each palm print is fixed. It just happened to form a circle. Every palm strike was aimed into the teleportation point, so that the underground maze could not teleport me back to the same place. I tried again and again like this, constantly failing, constantly destroying the teleportation. Finally, I found the correct path."

Lin Moyu said, "Fine, although it is not a clever method, at least it succeeded. You almost succeeded in courting death. Alright, I am going to refine this thing; as for you…"

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and felt it was a bit troublesome. Letting her follow him was fine for him inside the mist, but she would definitely die. Not letting her follow meant anything could happen later. If he wanted her to be absolutely safe, he could only take her into the Soul World or bring her directly into the Yushen World. But this was impossible; both places were Lin Moyu's core, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Moyu said, "I will set up a formation, and you just stay in the formation."

Great Venerable Jiuyue knew her current situation and did not refuse. Lin Moyu's current understanding of formations had deepened another layer. The formation he set up faintly had a tendency to surpass the world. Relying on the formation alone was naturally not enough. The power of the Life Forbidden Zone was too strong; the formation could not block it. However, Lin Moyu used the scepter of calamity as the formation eye.
