However, those who can truly comprehend the Great Dao of Luck are extremely rare.

Sect Master Tu was very sincere, first stating what he hoped Lin Moyu could help him with.

"I hope you can help me find a person. This person could be male or female."

"They could be a cultivator, or they could be an ordinary person."

"They could be an elderly person on the verge of death, or a newborn infant."

"Regardless of what kind of person they are, please help me find them."

Lin Moyu looked on, completely bewildered. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "How am I supposed to find them? It seems like anyone I grab off the street would fit these criteria."

Lin Moyu almost asked, "Do I count?"

Clearly, it was not that simple. After Sect Master Tu finished speaking, a divine light rose from the great hall.

Within the divine light, a complex and mysterious Dao Pattern was clearly visible.

Sect Master Tu continued, "This person will have this Dao Pattern on their body. The Dao Pattern could be on any part of them." Lin Moyu asked, "Is this Dao Pattern innate?"

Sect Master Tu nodded, "It is indeed innate."

Lin Moyu looked puzzled, "If it is an innate Dao Pattern, they would certainly be considered a natural prodigy. How could they be an ordinary person?"

If they were not an ordinary person, wouldn't the previous premise be incorrect?

Sect Master Tu said, "Although it is innate, it is highly likely to be recessive. Perhaps it will manifest after adulthood, or perhaps it will never manifest in their entire life."

Lin Moyu's brows furrowed tightly. In this way, the search range was simply too vast; it was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

The only thing that could be certain was that Sect Master Tu was looking for a human, most likely living in the Southern Continent. Of course, since humans lived in the other three continents besides the Northern Continent, one could not completely rule them out.

Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "This is not easy to do. Is there no other information?" Sect Master Tu shook his head, "No, only this Dao Pattern."

Lin Moyu pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright then, I agree. However, I don't know if I can find them; I can only say that I will do my best."

Sect Master Tu said, "Very well. This sect trusts you. The successor of Old Meng cannot be wrong."

Old Meng? Lin Moyu realized that the Old Meng mentioned by Sect Master Tu must be the senior who had passed down the Great Dao of Luck to him.

"So his surname is Meng!" Lin Moyu murmured in his heart. Sect Master Tu regarded him as the successor of that person.

In fact, it was so; he had indeed inherited the Great Dao of Luck from that person.

Lin Moyu asked, "What after finding them? Should I bring them to see you?" Sect Master Tu said, "No need. You only need to give them an item."

"I will give you this item later. Next, this sect will give you your reward."

"When you climbed the Divine Mountain, you obtained five jade stones. These five jade stones are actually the keys to opening an Origin Secret Realm."

"There are a large number of treasures in this Origin Secret Realm, as well as many inheritances that have been lost."

"This sect knows your intention; it is to find a way to break through to the Dao Venerable Realm."

"This sect can tell you that a method does indeed exist, but you cannot achieve it."

Lin Moyu was stunned. A method exists, but it cannot be achieved? After a few seconds, Lin Moyu asked, "Why can it not be achieved?"

Sect Master Tu said, "Because an item is missing. This item is called the Great Dao Cornerstone."

Great Dao Cornerstone. Lin Moyu had never heard of this item before.

Sect Master Tu said, "The five jade stones in your hand, inside that Origin Secret Realm, contain a Great Dao Cornerstone."

"The Great Dao Cornerstone is a product of the Great Dao. Its quantity was originally extremely rare. It was somewhat more common back then, but now it is very scarce."

"Although it is scarce, it is not non-existent. Deep within the origin spirit vein connected to this sect's ruins, there is a Great Dao Cornerstone."

Lin Moyu pressed on, "Since it exists, why is it impossible to achieve?"

Sect Master Tu let out a low laugh, "Because you do not recognize it!"

This answer was deafening to Lin Moyu; it was actually because they did not recognize it.

This reason was very realistic, but it was inevitably somewhat ridiculous.

However, Lin Moyu suddenly realized that it was normal for him not to recognize it, and it was possible for those old ancestors not to recognize it, but the Third Ancestor of the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, how could he not recognize it?

Recalling the questions the Third Ancestor had asked him before, Lin Moyu realized that the Third Ancestor seemed to have seen those in the Great Dao Realm and those within the Great Dao.

Furthermore, the Third Ancestor even called that person above the Great Dao the Dao Master.

Later, here, this title was also confirmed.

Based on this inference, the Third Ancestor should know about the Great Dao Cornerstone.

Moreover, the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce controlled a ninth-rank origin spirit vein, and there was a Great Dao Cornerstone inside the ninth-rank origin spirit vein.

Lin Moyu was one hundred percent certain that the Third Ancestor recognized the Great Dao Cornerstone and also possessed it. Since that was the case, the Third Ancestor certainly knew how to transcend the Dao Venerable Realm and ascend to a higher level.

That was why he had said with such certainty that he would definitely return to find him, because he knew everything. Sect Master Tu said, "The Great Dao Cornerstone looks very ordinary. Only with some special methods can one resonate with it."

"And this method has been lost nowadays, just like you no longer know how to use Dao Patterns; your path has gone astray."

"However, this sect can teach you this method. With your top-tier luck, you might be able to find the Great Dao Cornerstone in the vast world."

Lin Moyu suddenly asked, "Senior Tu, this junior would like to ask, does breaking through to the Dao Venerable Realm require a ninth-rank origin spirit vein?"

Lin Moyu was now somewhat suspicious of the Third Ancestor's words. He did not know if the Third Ancestor had simply withheld information about the Great Dao Cornerstone, or if he had withheld other things as well.

He needed some questions to verify his views on the Third Ancestor.

Sect Master Tu said, "A ninth-rank origin spirit vein is also needed. If it were in the past, with someone from the Great Dao guiding you, a ninth-rank origin spirit vein would not be a necessity."

"But now, a ninth-rank origin spirit vein is absolutely necessary."

Lin Moyu nodded, "It seems the Third Ancestor did not lie to me completely."

Sect Master Tu seemed to have guessed Lin Moyu's thoughts, "The Third Ancestor you mentioned is the owner of that ninth-rank origin spirit vein, right?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes, it is him."

Sect Master Tu smiled, "Although he is shrewd—people who cultivate that path are all shrewd—this sect knows he is not some sinister person. His words can still be believed to some extent."

Lin Moyu was stunned for a moment, "You and the Third Ancestor have had contact?"

Sect Master Tu said, "This sect's ruins are connected to his origin spirit vein. As the owner of the origin spirit vein, do you think there would be no contact?"

Lin Moyu finally realized.

With the Third Ancestor's ability, over countless years, he must have gained complete control over this ninth-rank origin spirit vein.

If he really wanted to, he could completely cut off the connection between the origin spirit vein and the God-Slaughtering Sect's ruins. Lin Moyu believed the Third Ancestor had this ability.

But he did not do so, which meant that there was some unknown transaction between him and the God-Slaughtering Sect.

And this transaction was unknown even to the old ancestors of those sacred land forces.

The Third Ancestor was the biggest pusher behind this Heavenly Pride Tournament, the true mastermind, bar none.

Chapter 2819 The Realm Above the Dao Venerable Realm

Why did the Third Ancestor do this? What was his purpose?

With his status and position, as long as it existed on the Origin Continent, he could basically obtain it.

It could not be for wealth; then it must be for profit.

Lin Moyu believed that everyone must have a motive for doing anything.

The Third Ancestor had the Great Dao Cornerstone and the ninth-rank origin spirit vein. Logically speaking, he should not lack a method to break through to the Dao Venerable Realm.

But why did he not break through to the Dao Venerable Realm?

Why did he hide in a space where time was chaotic and refuse to go out?

But he also said that if he wanted to kill someone, even the King of the Boundary Sea could not protect them.

This showed that the Third Ancestor had absolute confidence in his own strength, enough to surpass the King of the Boundary Sea.

Lin Moyu really could not understand and blurted out, "As far as this junior knows, the Third Ancestor should be able to break through to the Dao Venerable Realm. But why does he not break through?"

Sect Master Tu chuckled, his laughter carrying a deep meaning, "He still has things to do."

Lin Moyu pressed, "What things?"

Sect Master Tu shook his head, "I don't know. He didn't tell this sect. But that is not important. You only need to know that he will not harm you."

Lin Moyu did not quite believe Sect Master Tu's words either. He could feel that Sect Master Tu obviously knew what the Third Ancestor was going to do, but just refused to say.

Whether it was the Third Ancestor or Sect Master Tu, they both had secrets in their hearts.

Fine, if he won't say it, then he won't say it. Perhaps he will know the answer in the future.

Lin Moyu said, "Sorry, Sect Master Tu, this junior interrupted you."

Sect Master Tu said, "No matter. This sect will teach you the method to find the Great Dao Cornerstone, and will also tell you the method to break through to the Dao Venerable Realm. Besides that, there is the correct way to use Dao Patterns, and how to walk a correct path."

"You may choose not to pass on the method to break through to the Dao Venerable Realm; this sect imposes no restrictions."

"However, this sect does not recommend you use this method. If you break through using this method, there will be no possibility of advancing further in the future."

Lin Moyu understood the meaning of Sect Master Tu's words, "You mean that I can tell those old ancestors the method I obtained."

Sect Master Tu hummed, "Their path has gone astray, and their lifespans have reached their limits. Trying to correct it again is almost impossible."

"You are different; you should not follow their old path."

"Moreover, if they can break through to the Dao Venerable Realm according to this method, they can attain eternal life. What they pursue is nothing more than eternal life."

"As for whether they can still break through further, it actually makes little difference to them."

Lin Moyu said, "According to what you said, Senior, if this junior tells them the correct cultivation method, can it also help them walk on the right path?"

Sect Master Tu said, "You can tell them, but this sect advises you not to say it now, at least not before you have the power to protect yourself."

Lin Moyu's mind turned, and he immediately understood the meaning of Sect Master Tu's words.

It was not that he could not say it, but that he should not say it now.

If he told them this method now, those old ancestors would inevitably feel annoyed upon learning they had walked the wrong path.

Subsequently, they would feel that what he said was not complete and that there must be some secrets left.

Those people's minds were too deep and complex, and many were extremely selfish.

For the human race, this method might be a blessing, but for himself, this method would be a disaster.

Therefore, before having the power to protect himself, he should not say it.

Lin Moyu nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Tu. This junior understands."

Sect Master Tu chuckled and clapped his hands lightly. Divine light surged in the great hall, gathering into a ball, and finally forming a jade stone flowing with divine light.

"The method this sect spoke of is all inside."

"There is a lot of information, and it might be difficult to accept. This sect will help you, so you don't need to worry."

Lin Moyu nodded. His soul had already grasped the scepter of calamity in his hand, and the World Tree was also prepared for battle, ready to deal with any accidents at any time.

The World Tree coiled around the shenzhou cauldron; this posture already treated the shenzhou cauldron as a weapon.

This method was also something Lin Moyu had thought of not long ago. The shenzhou cauldron was once able to suppress the Nine Provinces; using it as a weapon to smash people would certainly be effective.

Lin Moyu was prepared to deal with any accidents. He did not fully trust Sect Master Tu, but he really wanted the information in the jade stone.

Therefore, he could only be prepared, just in case.

Lin Moyu believed that no matter how strong this Sect Master was, he had after all been dead for so many years.

If he wanted to do something to him, at least in the Soul World, he did not need to be afraid.

The scepter of calamity was not for show; it would strike down anyone who came.

After making preparations, Lin Moyu connected his soul to the jade stone.

In an instant, a massive amount of information poured in.

This was the inheritance of a prehistoric sect. The amount of information was unprecedented; even the inheritances of the Rune Heavenly Venerable in the Great World back then did not compare to even a ten-thousandth of what was before him.

However, Lin Moyu's soul was now countless times stronger than before. Although the content was vast, he could still receive it.

At this moment, Sect Master Tu waved his hand, and countless divine lights danced, enveloping Lin Moyu.

In an instant, Lin Moyu felt his soul become light.
