Chapter 688
It could absorb any element, seemingly able to convert elements into the energy it needed on its own.
The only requirement was purity.
It could not absorb multiple elements simultaneously; it could only absorb one at a time.
The purer the element, the faster its absorption rate, and its growth and reproduction speed became even more astonishing.
After being uprooted and harvested, the kunlun snow grass king had shriveled up.
Now, replanted in the ground and enveloped by Lin Moyu with incredibly pure lightning elements, it immediately radiated with vibrant vitality.
The snow grass king was about half a meter tall and as thick as half a fist.
In the Kunlun Mountains, its entire body had been an icy color.
Now, having absorbed a large amount of lightning elements, its entire body turned into a glowing lightning blue, and lightning elements could be seen flowing across its form.
Some tiny, downy young leaves began to sprout from its body.
The young leaves grew rapidly; in just two hours, they grew from the size of a fingernail to half a finger's length.
The aura of life was bursting forth. Lin Moyu observed closely, filled with curiosity.
He felt as if he had comprehended something; it was a bit vague, yet highly useful.
The entire process seemed to be explaining a certain truth.
Half a day later, the young leaves were already the size of an entire palm.
Subsequently, they detached from the snow grass king and automatically burrowed into the soil like sprouted seeds that had left their mother plant, growing vigorously in the earth.
After another half day, the detached young leaves had turned into a stalk of snow grass, virtually identical to the snow grass Lin Moyu had obtained from the Dungeon.
After checking with his Detection Spell, Lin Moyu found that it was indeed the case; there was no difference between the two.
[kunlun snow grass: An extra reward from the Kunlun Divine Palace Dungeon (Beginner). When used by those below Level 80, it increases level by one. Below Level 70, it increases level by two. Below Level 60, it increases level by three.]
In just one day, a complete kunlun snow grass had split off.
With the effect of the kunlun snow grass, leveling up seemed like it would become incredibly simple.
It seemed as if just by eating kunlun snow grass, one could continuously level up all the way to Level 80.
However, Lin Moyu felt that it definitely wouldn't be that simple.
Otherwise, it would be too heaven-defying.
A day later, another young leaf grew from the kunlun snow grass king, and a second snow grass was taking shape.
Lin Moyu controlled the ancient thunder outer core, continuously releasing lightning elements to provide nourishment for the kunlun snow grass king.
As the days passed, Lin Moyu repeatedly observed the process of the kunlun snow grass king splitting and giving birth to snow grass.
Gradually, Lin Moyu had a sudden realization; he seemed to have grasped some of the underlying principles.
The birth, reproduction, fruition, and growth of life…
The entire process was incredibly miraculous, containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.
From insects and ants to the human race and the dragon race, all had to follow this ultimate truth.
Lin Moyu felt as if he understood something, involuntarily losing himself in it.
A rumble sounded within his soul, and his soul level suddenly rose significantly, taking a large step toward Level 93.
At the same time his soul was upgrading, a mysterious aura suddenly appeared in Lin Moyu's hand.
Lin Moyu suddenly snapped out of it, and the aura in his hand vanished along with it.
"This is… a Law!" Lin Moyu was stunned. He had actually grasped a Law.
Although he only possessed it for an instant, not even half a second, it was real.
In that half-second, a Law had indeed been born right in the palm of his hand.
And it was a Law concerning life.
Thinking about it, Lin Moyu found it somewhat unbelievable. He was only Level 76, and his soul level was only Level 92. How could he possibly possess a Law?
Furthermore, his class dealt with the undead. Even if he were to possess a Law, it should be a destructive one. How could the Law of Life appear?
But the Law of Life had truly appeared; his perception could not be wrong.
"Could it be… that one doesn't necessarily have to reach Level 96 to master a Law?"
"As long as one can comprehend it, they can likewise master a Law."
Lin Moyu could not wait to ask Antares immediately.
But he suppressed the restlessness in his heart, calming himself down once more, and began to observe the kunlun snow grass king again.
He wanted to experience it again before that feeling faded away.
However, after that previous experience, Lin Moyu found that his heart could not completely quiet down.
Although he still looked calm on the surface, his heart was surging like a stormy sea, making it difficult to truly settle.
As time passed, the previous feeling gradually faded, and he could no longer grasp it.
Lin Moyu sighed softly, forced to give up.
"Lin Moyu."
Meng Anwen's voice sounded by his ear.
Lin Moyu turned to look. "Teacher, you're back."
Meng Anwen hummed in acknowledgment. Seeing the mountain of weapons and equipment, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes. "Did you go to the Kunlun Divine Palace to restock again?"
It was rare for Meng Anwen to crack a joke, using the word "restock."
Lin Moyu also chuckled helplessly. "Teacher, you must be joking."
Meng Anwen waved Lin Moyu over. "Come over and have some tea. I have something to ask you."
Lin Moyu went over, brewed tea for Meng Anwen, and poured a cup for himself. As the hot tea warmed his stomach, he felt his mind calm down a bit more.
But it was only surface-level calm; his mind was still continuously pondering over the Law of Life.
Meng Anwen asked, "Tell me about what happened in the Shenxia Ancient City a few days ago. Tell me everything you know."
Lin Moyu asked, "Teacher, did you go to the Shenxia Ancient City?"
Meng Anwen took a sip of tea. "Yes, I went with Old Man Feng, but we didn't find anything."
"You should know that the Shenxia Ancient City is very important to the human race. Since an anomaly occurred, we must investigate it thoroughly, just in case."
The importance of the Shenxia Ancient City to the human race went without saying.
Since Meng Anwen asked, Lin Moyu naturally could not refuse to answer.
Lin Moyu pondered in his mind, determining what could be said and what could not.
There was a slight hesitation in his tone. "Teacher, there are some things I don't know if I should say. If I do, you need to prepare yourself mentally."
Meng Anwen laughed softly. "You underestimate me too much. After all, I'm someone who fought my way out of a sea of blood. What could possibly shake me?"
Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "Then I'll say it. You should know that the Shenxia Ancient City does not belong to our human race…"
Meng Anwen's eyes widened instantly. Lin Moyu actually said that the Shenxia Ancient City did not belong to the human race.
He had thought of various possibilities, the most likely being that the Abyssal Demons or the Dragon Realm had used some special means to act against the Shenxia Ancient City.
But he never expected that Lin Moyu's first sentence would be this.
Still, Meng Anwen remained relatively calm. After taking a sip of tea, he gestured for Lin Moyu to continue.
Lin Moyu said, "A thousand years ago, before the Shenxia Empire was even founded, the Shenxia Ancient City came from beyond the boundary and fell into the Lower Space."
"Later, it was discovered by the ancestors of our Shenxia Empire. Only after obtaining the recognition of the ancient city were we able to use it to this day."
"This time, a powerhouse from beyond the boundary forcibly tore through the spatial barrier, attempting to take the Shenxia Ancient City away."
The more Meng Anwen listened, the more alarmed he became, feeling as if he were listening to a fairy tale.
Although his level was already at the top of the human race, he had not yet reached Half-step Super God.
There were many things buried in history that he was not qualified to know.
Some information could only be obtained once one reached Half-step Super God.
After that world-shaking battle, the ancestors of the human race made an agreement with the surviving deities and established a gate.
Half-step Super God was the pass to open that gate.
Inside the gate and outside the gate were two different worlds.
Only after drinking three cups of hot tea in a row did Meng Anwen speak up, "What do you mean by 'beyond the boundary'?"
Lin Moyu explained, "Beyond our Human World, there is an even vaster world."
Meng Anwen pressed further, "The world outside the human race… is it the Abyss? The Dragon Realm? The Desolate Void?"
Lin Moyu shook his head. "None of them. They can only be considered sub-worlds that exist by clinging to our Human World. Teacher, you can also think of them as independent spaces, just relatively large ones."
"What I mean by beyond the boundary is the true Great World."
"If the Great World is an ocean, then our Human World is just an isolated island in the sea. In this ocean, there are thousands of other isolated islands, endless and infinite."
"Places like the Abyss are merely reefs next to the isolated island. The only difference between them is their size and shape."
Hearing Lin Moyu's explanation, Meng Anwen fell into deep thought.
Lin Moyu also knew that asking someone to accept this all of a sudden was indeed somewhat difficult.
After all, certain ideas were deeply ingrained.
Because he was a transmigrator who had lived two lives and seen the starry universe, his acceptance of such things was very high.
People who were born and raised in this world could not do so easily; they needed time.
However, Lin Moyu believed that Meng Anwen would definitely be able to accept it, and it wouldn't take long.
Chapter 664: The Oath Is Too Low, the Goal Is Not Ambitious Enough
Lin Moyu was in no hurry, and the ancient thunder outer tower had long been put away.
The kunlun snow grass king and several matured snow grass stalks were swaying not far away.
Normally, Meng Anwen would have noticed them long ago.
But now, lost in thought, Meng Anwen's perception of the outside world was greatly diminished.
Lin Moyu's words revealed too much information, allowing for endless imagination based on it.
If it was truly as Lin Moyu said, and their world was just an insignificant isolated island in the ocean…
…then what did he amount to?
This was the collapse of one's beliefs, and the impact was incredibly powerful.
Lin Moyu knew that this kind of thing could only be figured out by Meng Anwen himself. Once he understood and accepted it, it would be nothing.
After a moment, Meng Anwen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked in a low voice, "Then what does a Super God count as?"
Lin Moyu said, "As far as I know, a Super God is the strongest in our world. If viewed from beyond the boundary, it's hard to say."
Meng Anwen murmured, "I once saw another continent in the Deep Space. The two continents were separated by a canyon about a hundred meters wide."
"At that time, I was Level 91. Together with Old Bai and Old Yan, we couldn't cross that canyon no matter what we tried."
"Later, Emperor Di told us that the canyon was called the Super God Canyon, and only a Super God could cross it."
"It was also at that time that Old Bai and I made an oath that we must become Super Gods."
"It seems that a Super God isn't all that powerful either. Our oath was too low, and our goal wasn't ambitious enough."
Lin Moyu said, "Take the path step by step. As long as every step is stable, you can go far."
Meng Anwen laughed softly, looking at Lin Moyu with approval. "You are right. As long as every step is stable, one will naturally be able to go far."
"In that case, let's take it step by step and see where the end lies."
"Whether inside or outside the boundary, as long as I am strong enough, what difference does it make?"
The aura on Meng Anwen's body shifted. The aura of a Level 96 powerhouse rolled out, enveloped by a faint trace of Law power.
