“How could Xiahou Yuan’s illusion be so easy to break through? Besides, the enemies everyone faces correspond to their own strength, so the difficulty should be about the same.”

"Could it be that this boy not only has strong comprehension and a firm Dao Heart, but his combat power is also equally astonishing, killing across realms as easily as eating and drinking?"

"What kind of joke is this? I believe in geniuses fighting across realms, but as easily as eating and drinking? How is that possible?"

Although geniuses are strong, it is not to the extent of killing across realms as easily as eating and drinking; that would be too exaggerated.

However, Lin Moyu did indeed pass through the illusion. From the start of the illusion to now, it has only been two or three minutes. The speed is simply unimaginable.

As for whether Xiahou Yuan would go easy on him, no Dao Venerable would entertain such a thought.

Xiahou Yuan is notoriously uncompromising. Even if he and Lin Moyu were acquainted, it would be impossible.

At this moment, Lin Moyu heard Xiahou Yuan's voice, "Lin Moyu, come up here."

Lin Moyu naturally flew over, arrived before Xiahou Yuan, and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Senior Xiahou."

Xiahou Yuan nodded slightly, "Do you know what this round is testing?"

Regardless of his inner opinion of Lin Moyu, on the surface, Xiahou Yuan still maintained the demeanor expected of a senior. Lin Moyu said, "Dao Heart and combat power."

Xiahou Yuan nodded slightly, "You are mostly right, but not entirely."

Lin Moyu was very polite, "This junior is ignorant, please enlighten me, Senior."

Xiahou Yuan said, "This round only tests the Dao Heart. Even in this final illusion round, as long as your Dao Heart is firm enough, you will only win and never lose."

"Because you fought too quickly, you didn't experience it. If you could have kept fighting, you would have discovered that your strength and the enemy's strength would fluctuate and change according to your Dao Heart."

Lin Moyu's eyes lit up, "So that's how it is."

Xiahou Yuan said, "Therefore, killing too quickly is not necessarily a good thing; you will miss out on some experiences."

Lin Moyu smiled and did not respond.

Xiahou Yuan said, "Do you want me to send you back to experience it?"

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and slowly shook his head, "This junior has confidence in my own Dao Heart, so there is no need to experience it."

Xiahou Yuan did not force him, but said, "They still need some time. Since you are bored, would you be willing to chat with this old man?"

Lin Moyu was naturally delighted, "It is this junior's honor to chat with you, Senior. I wonder what you would like to talk about."

Xiahou Yuan said, "As you wish. You can talk about whatever you like."

Lin Moyu did not stand on ceremony and immediately said, "This junior will take the liberty to ask: is your Dao, Senior, the Soul Dao?"

Xiahou Yuan nodded, "That is correct, it is indeed the Soul Dao."

This was not a secret; too many people knew about it.

Lin Moyu said, "This junior has a favor to ask."

Xiahou Yuan said, "No need to be so polite. Tell me. If this old man can help, I will do my best."

Seeing that Lin Moyu had a favor to ask, Xiahou Yuan also seized the opportunity.

Just as he said, he would definitely help if he could, and if he couldn't, he would find a way to help.

Lin Moyu said, "When this junior was insignificant, I once made a friend. That friend's race was created and born within the Rule World of a Heavenly Venerable who cultivated the Soul Dao."

"This friend of mine once had a special mission, and later, to help this junior, she sacrificed herself."

"This junior once promised her that I would help her restore her race, but unfortunately, I have not been able to find the Heavenly Venerable who created her."

After listening to Lin Moyu's story, Xiahou Yuan said, "Did she leave any items behind?"

Xiahou Yuan was very familiar with creating living beings in a Rule World; he had done it many times before.

This was an experience that one would inevitably have when cultivating the Soul Dao.

He also knew that those created races were not living beings in the pure sense and required some objects to serve as carriers.

Lin Moyu took out the Heavenly Spirit Crystal that Lillian had left behind. There was still a trace of soul fluctuation remaining inside the Heavenly Spirit Crystal.

At the time, he had preserved a trace of Lillian's soul inside it, thinking that if he could not find the Soul Heavenly Venerable, he would use Resurrection of the Dead to resurrect Lillian in the future.

Of course, that would require Resurrection of the Dead to undergo a qualitative change and no longer have time restrictions; otherwise, it would be better not to resurrect her at all.

Xiahou Yuan took the Heavenly Spirit Crystal and felt it carefully. After a moment, he whispered, "You left a trace of her soul, which means you left a glimmer of hope."

"The one who tied the knot must untie it. The best way is still to find the Heavenly Venerable who created her."

"Her soul and this item both have the other party's mark. If an outsider intervenes, it will be very troublesome."

Lin Moyu said, "To be honest, this junior comes from the Boundary Sea World. That Soul Heavenly Venerable also left the Boundary Sea World and headed to the Origin Continent."

"This junior has been separated from him for too long. I do not know if he has reached the Origin Continent, where he is, or if he is alive or dead."

"If I want to find him, unless there is a heaven-sent opportunity, I am afraid it will be quite difficult."

Lin Moyu had indeed thought about finding the Soul Heavenly Venerable, but based on the information he obtained later, it was very difficult to find him. If the Soul Heavenly Venerable had already died, it would be impossible to find him.

Xiahou Yuan thought for a moment, "How about this? This old man will think of a way to see if I can resurrect her."

"Do you want her to be restored to her original state, or do you hope she can become a true living being?"

Lin Moyu was overjoyed, "Naturally, I hope she becomes a true living being."

"Very well." Xiahou Yuan agreed readily.

Lin Moyu asked, "What is the cost? Please let me know, Senior, and this junior will do my best to pay it."

Xiahou Yuan said, "Let's talk about it once it's done. This old man is not afraid of you reneging on the debt."

Lin Moyu did not expect Xiahou Yuan to be so easy to talk to. His previous little schemes seemed to have been a bit of a waste, but thinking about it, it was hard to say. If he hadn't performed as he did, Xiahou Yuan might not have been so accommodating.

Xiahou Yuan said, "If you have nothing else, it is my turn to ask some questions."

Lin Moyu immediately nodded, "Please go ahead, Senior. This junior will tell you everything I know."

Xiahou Yuan said, "Have you ever met many extremely powerful experts?"

Lin Moyu realized who Xiahou Yuan was asking about, "There is a senior who once showed this junior some images."

Under Xiahou Yuan's curious gaze, Lin Moyu continued, "That senior was riding a green ox and wearing a Green Robe."

Xiahou Yuan's expression changed drastically, and he shouted urgently, "Stop, stop, stop! Don't say any more."

Given his status, he clearly knew who Lin Moyu was talking about.

Lin Moyu said, "Does Senior still want to hear about others?"

Xiahou Yuan took a deep breath, "You may, but speak slowly."

Lin Moyu said, "There is a gourd that leaks everywhere, and what leaks out is ancestral water. There is an old senior there…"

"Stop, stop, stop." Xiahou Yuan decisively called a halt. He looked at Lin Moyu with a strange expression, as if to say, what kind of monsters have you been meeting?

Lin Moyu said, "Then let me change to another one. There was once a big bird called the Source Bird…"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Xiahou Yuan called a halt again. He said helplessly, "Alright, alright, stop talking. I cannot listen to any of these things you are saying."

Cannot listen? More like dare not listen.

Lin Moyu knew it clearly; the higher the realm of these old seniors, the smaller their courage often becomes.

Because the more they know, the more afraid they are. They do not want to die, so their courage naturally becomes smaller and smaller.

Xiahou Yuan exhaled, "How about this? I will change the question. Where did you get your Undying Golden Body from?"

Lin Moyu said, "In that Boundary Sea Small World where this junior was, a mysterious person once appeared. The Undying Golden Body was left to this junior by her, but she is no longer around now."

Xiahou Yuan asked curiously, "Dead?"

Lin Moyu shook his head, "Perhaps she is dead, perhaps she is still alive. This junior is not very sure."

Xiahou Yuan said, "Do you know about the Undying Golden Body?"

Lin Moyu shook his head to indicate he did not know.

Xiahou Yuan said, "After the Heavenly Pride Tournament ends, go to the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce. They should be able to sell it to you."

"Next question, why does your technique have a Gate of Hell?"

Lin Moyu said, "This junior's technique is called Bone Hell. After arriving in the Eastern Continent, I had an encounter. This junior fused with a hell fragment, and my technique came to possess a Gate of Hell."

Xiahou Yuan frowned, "So that's how it is. You were actually able to fuse with a hell fragment."

"Back when Hell shattered, it was rumored that hell fragments fell into the Origin Continent. It seems that is true."

"Your fortuitous encounters are truly not few."

Xiahou Yuan's words were very conservative. To be able to encounter a hell fragment, survive, and fuse one's own technique with the hell fragment.

One can imagine how dangerous this process must have been. This is not just a mere fortuitous encounter, it is simply a heaven-defying one.

From this, it can be seen how strong Lin Moyu's luck is.

Any fortuitous encounter requires strong luck to support it.

If there were no luck, encountering a hell fragment would not be a fortuitous encounter, but a death trap.

Xiahou Yuan felt that there were too many secrets on Lin Moyu. Even with his strength, he dared not ask any further.

Now that even a hell fragment had appeared, he was afraid that if he continued to ask, he would uncover more shocking information. He stopped, "I have finished asking. If you have any other questions, you may continue to ask."

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and asked some questions regarding cultivation.

Xiahou Yuan answered them one by one without any concealment.

The two chatted like old friends, talking non-stop.

They could only see the two talking, but could not hear the content of their conversation.

The Dao Venerables in the sky were surprised. They all knew that Xiahou Yuan spoke very little on a daily basis, and given his status and position, there were not many people who could converse with him on equal footing.

To their surprise, Xiahou Yuan was able to chat so happily with a Heavenly Venerable, completely subverting their impression of him.

"What is wrong with Senior Xiahou today?"

"I don't know. Senior Xiahou usually speaks very little. It is so strange today."

"No need to be strange. Senior Xiahou speaks little because, generally, others are not qualified to converse with him."

"Then how do you explain this now?"

"Perhaps his status is special."

"Special? How special can he be?"

"Heaven knows. Go ask Senior Xiahou yourself."

"I won't go. That's asking for a beating!"

After the two had been chatting for a long time, someone finally broke through the "illusion".

Lu Fengyao suddenly opened her eyes, and the aura of the Dao Venerable Realm soared into the sky.

For her, the illusion was a trial.

In the illusion, she experienced a battle she would never forget for the rest of her life.

Everything in the illusion was no different from reality, and this battle was no different from one in the Real World.

She was injured in the illusion, and the injuries were not light; she had almost died.

However, relying on her firm Dao Heart, she finally persisted tenaciously until the end and achieved final victory.

Lu Fengyao did not notice that as she persisted, her strength in the illusion continued to rise, while the enemy's strength was declining.

She only knew that she could not lose, absolutely could not lose.

Her Dao Heart became increasingly powerful; her current Dao Heart was like a sharp sword.

Anyone who dared to shake her Dao Heart would be wounded by the sword.

Making the Dao Heart stronger was precisely the reward for this round.

Realms are easy to cultivate, but the Dao Heart is hard to refine; there is no reward better than this.

It is a pity that Lin Moyu did not have the fortune to enjoy it.

Xiahou Yuan said, "Feng Yao's comprehension is quite good. In terms of pure aptitude, she is even a notch above Saintess Xianlian."

Lin Moyu agreed with Xiahou Yuan's words and took the opportunity to flatter him, "Senior is right. I feel that Sister Feng Yao's future achievements will be astonishing."
