Chapter 3597. Having one Dungeon is enough. If Fellow Daoist Lin can gain something from it, that would be for the best.

"I am still counting on Fellow Daoist Lin," Emperor Pocang said generously, directly gifting the Chessboard of All Living Beings to Lin Moyu. Upon receiving the chessboard, Lin Moyu immediately realized something.

He discovered anomalies within the chessboard. The aura hidden inside the chessboard was completely different from the world, and it was indeed stronger than the Nine-Wheel World.

Perhaps, just as he had thought, it came from the Hongmeng World of a certain era. At the same time, it could be further confirmed that the Hongmeng World must have existed. The things within that Hongmeng World were incomparably sturdy, having survived the Great Destruction and remaining in the current era.

"Then this junior will accept it without declining." Lin Moyu did not stand on ceremony; this chessboard was indeed of great use to him.

What he just experienced was only the lowest difficulty. If the difficulty were increased, perhaps he could comprehend even more. Pressure is motivation. Lin Moyu really wanted to see what secrets were hidden within this Chessboard of All Living Beings. "Fellow Daoist Lin, you must have come here for a reason this time," True Monarch Xunzhi said. "Yes," Lin Moyu replied.

"I am trying to find the ruins of the Nine-Wheel World. I found one by chance before, and now I am looking for a second one. Having no leads, I came specifically to consult you two seniors to see if there is any way. Finding the Nine-Wheel World is very important to this junior, and time is limited. I only have seven hundred years left."

He did not explain specifically why, and Emperor Pocang and True Monarch Xunzhi did not ask further. They both saw that Lin Moyu's path was different from their own. Different paths, different plans. Naturally, they would not ask anything more. Emperor Pocang glanced at True Monarch Xunzhi beside him. "Although my combat power is unparalleled…"

Chapter 4785. Deduction, Highest Difficulty

"…in this matter, I am indeed inferior to this old guy." True Monarch Xunzhi said irritably, "I never thought you, this old guy, would actually admit that you are inferior to someone in some aspect." Emperor Pocang snorted, "I only admit that I am inferior to you in this regard; don't get too smug. Otherwise, I will beat you to death." True Monarch Xunzhi scoffed, "A dead Remnant Soul still talking big." Emperor Pocang was equally unyielding, "Whether it's big talk or not, we'll see in a moment." Lin Moyu felt somewhat helpless. These two old guys didn't get along when they were alive; why are they still like this after death? He interrupted their conversation.

"I ask Senior Xunzhi to take action." True Monarch Xunzhi waved his hand, and a huge wheel condensed in the void. The wheel rotated slowly, emitting immense pressure. True Monarch Xunzhi said with a hint of pride, "This is my life-bound treasure, the Great Wheel of Heaven and Earth." Emperor Pocang said disdainfully from the side, "Every time you use this thing, you have to introduce it. Now the main body is broken, only a fragment remains, and you're still doing this routine. Isn't it annoying?" True Monarch Xunzhi snorted coldly, "What do you know? Even if only one piece remains, it is still a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, second to none."

Lin Moyu also saw that True Monarch Xunzhi's Great Wheel of Heaven and Earth was actually shattered; the one condensed in the void was just an illusion. The main body was only the small piece in his hand, but even this small piece still emitted a powerful aura. It was not much worse than the Sky-Shattering Seal of True Monarch Suitian from before. True Monarch Xunzhi said, "Back then, in order to refine this Great Wheel of Heaven and Earth, I racked my brains and spent a billion years. I refined the ruins of ten worlds to obtain this treasure. Even when the Great Destruction arrived, this treasure was still hard to break. If it weren't for me forcibly using this treasure to calculate a path to survival at that time, this treasure might not have shattered even now."

He introduced his magic treasure proudly, but it drew a disdainful laugh from Emperor Pocang. "In my opinion, after you refined this thing, you incurred great karma. When the Great Destruction arrived, you knew you couldn't avoid it, so you finally used it to deduce a chance of survival, letting it shatter in the process to buy yourself a glimmer of life. I don't believe that the world treasures refined by those other old guys are all shattered." True Monarch Xunzhi said, "My magic treasure was never a combat treasure. Some of the old guys' treasures are indeed sturdy, but those are combat treasures, different from mine."

Lin Moyu thought of True Monarch Suitian's Sky-Shattering Seal. The Sky-Shattering Seal was indeed sturdy; although it was impacted during the Great Destruction, it was damaged but not shattered. In terms of sturdiness alone, it was indeed superior to True Monarch Xunzhi's Great Wheel of Heaven and Earth. But now was not the time to dwell on this question, so he quickly interrupted the two again, "I ask Senior Xunzhi to take action."

True Monarch Xunzhi snorted and stopped paying attention to Emperor Pocang. "This old guy," he muttered. Then he said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, if you want to find the Nine-Wheel World, I cannot calculate the exact location either. I can only calculate a general direction." Lin Moyu said, "A general direction is fine."

True Monarch Xunzhi nodded, looked up, and pointed gently at the Great Wheel of Heaven and Earth. The Great Wheel of Heaven and Earth immediately began to rotate with a rumble. He originally thought the Great Wheel of Heaven and Earth was one layer, but now that it moved, he discovered that the Great Wheel of Heaven and Earth was layered one inside another, with as many as ten layers. True Monarch Xunzhi said, "I used ten worlds to refine this Great Wheel of Heaven and Earth, surpassing the Eight Desolations and overlooking the Four Directions, calculating heaven and earth. It can also search for information from outside the world." The Great Wheel of Heaven and Earth rotated faster and faster, and the ten-layered wheel gradually spread out, turning into a three-dimensional flying wheel with interlocking rings. The flying wheel twisted and rotated, finally exploding with a bang.

Countless rays of light illuminated a void. Lin Moyu discovered that this void was none other than the Life Forbidden Zone, and a point of light was flickering within it. In the boundless Life Forbidden Zone, this point of light was so small. At this moment, this point of light shot out a glimmer, flying towards the distance and disappearing into the void. True Monarch Xunzhi said, "This point of light is our location. The direction it points to might contain the Nine-Wheel World. The Nine-Wheel World is of a very high level. If I were in my prime, the accuracy of finding it would be higher. But now, I can only say there is a forty percent chance of success." Lin Moyu recorded the deduction results and bowed to True Monarch Xunzhi. "Thank you, Senior." Emperor Pocang sneered from the side, "Don't thank him. This old guy only has a forty percent chance; it might not be accurate."

True Monarch Xunzhi snorted coldly, "A forty percent chance is just what I can guarantee. Actually, it should be more than sixty or seventy percent." Emperor Pocang said disdainfully, "Big talk." True Monarch Xunzhi was furious, "You old guy, can you not speak properly?" Emperor Pocang said, "I like to speak this way. Do you have an objection? If you dare to have an objection, I will beat you to death. Come and try." "Try it then." Lin Moyu quickly withdrew from the pocang crystal to avoid being caught in the crossfire. He was somewhat dumbfounded. These two old guys would start fighting as soon as they disagreed. Even though they were already dead and only had Remnant Souls left, they were still so troublesome. True Monarch Xunzhi said he had a forty percent chance. It should indeed be more than that, but six or seven percent also seemed like big talk. Normally, he should have a fifty percent chance. A fifty percent chance was already worth a try; anyway, he didn't have any better methods right now.

He handed the light point recording the deduction results to Little Tree and instructed him to search in the direction indicated by the light point. He wanted Little Tree to follow the instructions. Although the Life Forbidden Zone was large, he had no direction before. It was truly just luck. This time, with a direction, Lin Moyu believed that it wouldn't take long to get results. He trusted Little Tree as much as he trusted himself; as long as the Nine-Wheel World was in that direction, Little Tree would definitely be able to find it. Then he took out the Chessboard of All Living Beings. From the Chessboard of All Living Beings, Lin Moyu felt a special power of heaven and earth. It was a world in itself, not relying on any world to exist. Its level seemed a bit like the scepter of calamity. Lin Moyu had a thought: he wanted to take the scepter of calamity and smash it a few times to see if he could smash this thing. But he thought better of it. Such a crazy thought was something only he could come up with. His Soul Fire rushed into the chessboard and began to refine it. The chessboard shimmered, and the refining process went very smoothly. This was not a magic treasure for combat; although its level was very high, there was no difficulty in refining it. As long as one was a Supreme Expert, one could refine it in a short time. Lin Moyu was not yet a Supreme Expert, but he had a soul equivalent to a Supreme Expert, so refining it was equally effortless. In just a few days, the Chessboard of All Living Beings had been refined and became Lin Moyu's possession.

There were three levels of difficulty: Entry, Intermediate, and Supreme. What Emperor Pocang used before was the Entry difficulty. The Entry level had 108,000 horizontal and vertical lines, while the Intermediate level had 1,080,000 horizontal and vertical lines. The Supreme level was as high as 10,800,000 lines. Each level of difficulty exceeded the previous one by ten times. No wonder even a Supreme Expert couldn't withstand such an increase. "Then let me see how terrifying this most difficult Supreme level can be." He found a void and, with a thought, unfolded the Chessboard of All Living Beings. He directly increased the difficulty to the highest level, Supreme. His Soul Fire was consumed rapidly; just unfolding the chessboard was enough to exhaust the soul power of an ordinary Supreme Expert. Fortunately, Little Tree provided a continuous supply, so Lin Moyu had no worries. Countless lines intertwined before his eyes, 10,800,000 horizontal and vertical lines each, plus diagonal lines crossing in chaos. The entire chessboard was something even a Great Venerable could not enter. When the chessboard was fully unfolded, points of light lit up within it. Dense, endless, these points of light gathered or scattered, more or less, with different colors and distributions. "Enter the chessboard!" With a low shout, Lin Moyu rushed into the chessboard, turning into one of the points of light. A large amount of information came over. The rules of the highest difficulty chessboard were still simple, no different from the Entry difficulty: develop yourself, plunder resources, and reach the strongest. The difference was that the situation inside the chessboard was more complex. The points of light seen before could represent a force, or they could represent a shocking expert, or they could be some special resource nodes. At the same time, there were many points of light that had not appeared, also hiding people, experts, resources, and some dangers. Their quantity and scale far exceeded the Entry difficulty. Most importantly, under this difficulty, soul power was consumed every moment, and even a Supreme Expert could not hold on for too long.

Chapter 4786. The End of Formation Dao. Lin Moyu said to himself thoughtfully, "It seems that the consumption of soul power is the first hurdle of this highest difficulty. But this hurdle alone cannot stump those Supreme Experts. They can prepare materials to replenish soul power; this is not difficult for them. The real difficulty should lie in the pressure. This highest difficulty is called 'Supreme', which means it is above everything; no person or thing can be above it. Is this object not from the Hongmeng World? Rather, is it of a higher level than the Hongmeng World? Or perhaps 'Supreme' is just a name. It's hard to say for now; I'll have to try it myself." He cast the Wings of Heaven and Earth. The Wings of Heaven and Earth unfolded with a 'whoosh', and rays of light shot out. But then, a huge pressure surged over, and the rays of light shattered, unable to shoot out at all. The Wings of Heaven and Earth, which could originally cover hundreds of millions of miles, now only grew to less than a meter, and the rays of light were completely suppressed, unable to leave his body.
