Knowing that the Path of Truth-Seeking had already been activated, a large number of Divine Talismans appeared within his vision. These dense Divine Talismans signified a severe trial; if one could not pass the trial, one would be unable to reach the end. The trials of the Path of Truth-Seeking were nothing more than tests of temperament and strength.
Lin Moyu did not care about this. If even he could not pass, who else in the entire Domain could? However, the corners of Lin Moyu's mouth curled up slightly; he had no intention of accepting these trials. Having cultivated to this point and standing at the pinnacle of the Domain, who would dare to test him?
Lin Moyu also had his own pride. After entering the Path of Truth-Seeking, he did not rush forward but watched quietly. The level of this Path of Truth-Seeking was very high, and the person who laid it out had reached an extremely high level of understanding regarding Divine Talismans, yet it was still lacking.
After only a moment, Lin Moyu had fully grasped the situation of the entire Path of Truth-Seeking and analyzed that the person who had laid it out was not as accomplished in Divine Talismans as himself. His fingertips glowed slightly as he sketched out Divine Talismans one by one, which flew into the Path of Truth-Seeking, causing it to vibrate immediately.
More and more Divine Talismans flew from Lin Moyu's fingertips, and the Divine Talismans on the Path of Truth-Seeking actually took the initiative to yield to Lin Moyu's. Just a moment later, a large number of Lin Moyu's own Divine Talismans had been integrated into the entire Path of Truth-Seeking. From then on, the Path of Truth-Seeking changed its surname to Lin and became Lin Moyu's possession. Lin Moyu controlled the Path of Truth-Seeking, becoming its master, and strolled through it leisurely.
As for trials or anything of the sort, they did not exist; how could there be any trials? The Butler watched this scene from afar, and his emotions clearly shifted. The speed of his constantly evolving body accelerated significantly. "He actually controlled the Path of Truth-Seeking," the Butler said in a low voice filled with shock, then whispered, "Could it really be that he has returned?"
The Butler's second sentence contained extremely complex emotions. If Lin Moyu could have heard the second sentence, he would inevitably have had many thoughts. Watching Lin Moyu walk further and further away, the Butler slowly disappeared with a long sigh, his whereabouts unknown.
Lin Moyu traveled along the Path of Truth-Seeking, which formed a transparent membrane that isolated the inside from the outside. Along the way, many creatures saw Lin Moyu, but they only watched from the sidelines and did not approach. Lin Moyu discovered that these creatures seemed to be wary of the Path of Truth-Seeking. These creatures were not weak; they were at least Lords of the Great Dao, and several powerful ones exuded an Eternal aura. Even so, they dared not approach the Path of Truth-Seeking. Clearly, there were many restrictions here.
Lin Moyu observed them carefully and found that although they possessed considerable strength, their intelligence did not match their strength; almost all their actions were driven by instinct. Why leave behind so many powerful creatures without much intelligence, and keep them trapped here? This was also a question. Perhaps he could find the answer in the Tianxu Palace. He walked all the way to the end of the Path of Truth-Seeking.
The moment he stepped off the Path of Truth-Seeking, the Tianxu Palace came into view. It was majestic and towering, with an imposing aura rushing towards him. At this moment, Lin Moyu had the illusion of facing the entire Domain. If someone told him that the Tianxu Palace was the core of the Domain, he would find it hard to doubt it. Infinite Great Daos circled above the Tianxu Palace, transforming into vortices that spun ceaselessly. It was the same as the Great Dao he had seen in the Origin Ancestral Land, perhaps even more intense; it felt as if this was the source of the Great Dao in the Domain. It was as if the Origin Ancestral Land had copied the Great Dao from the Tianxu Palace. Lin Moyu walked towards the Tianxu Palace. Those creatures still did not approach, only watching from afar as the Tianxu Palace radiated an invisible, mighty power that kept them at bay.
Lin Moyu headed towards the main gate of the Tianxu Palace and stopped upon stepping onto the plaza in front of the gate. The palace gates were tightly shut, seemingly having remained in this state for a long time. On the plaza in front of the gate, there was a long mark, seemingly the trace of a battle. Looking at the mark, Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and he released Little Python. "Take a look and see if you have any impression of this place?" Little Python seemed to be asleep and responded groggily, then began to size up the Tianxu Palace. Its eyes slowly narrowed, and not being very sure, it murmured that it seemed to have seen it before. As soon as its voice fell, the tightly shut gates of the Tianxu Palace suddenly lit up.
Chapter 4217: Gate-Guarding Divine Beast. There were traces of a battle on the plaza in front of the Tianxu Palace gates, and part of the traces were python-shaped. Little Python happened to be a large python, and furthermore, during its evolution, Little Python had vaguely seen the Tianxu Palace before; at the time, he had even joked with it that Little Python might be the gate-guarding beast of the Tianxu Palace. At this moment, the Tianxu Palace gates lit up, and a python beast pattern appeared on the gate, exactly the same as Little Python.
Little Python's gaze was drawn to the Tianxu Palace gates, staring firmly at them, unable to look away. It murmured, "This is me." Suddenly, the python beast pattern on the gate turned into a beam of light and shone onto Little Python. Little Python seemed to be stimulated by something and roared towards the sky incessantly. The sound shook the mountains and forests, and countless creatures in the forest seemed to be stimulated as well, screeching in response to Little Python's roar. In the distance, the Great Dao surged, and the Butler's figure appeared. He looked towards the location of Little Python and said in a low voice, "What happened?"
At this moment, a giant python appeared within the Great Dao of the sky. The giant python danced with the Great Dao, circling in the air. The Butler was dumbfounded. "The Fifth Generation Palace Master's Python has returned." Just as he was surprised, roars of beasts continued to come from further away, and the entire Tianxu seemed to liven up. The Butler's tone was complex. "The Fifth Generation Palace Master's Python, how could it return? This shouldn't be; the time shouldn't have arrived yet."
Lin Moyu watched the giant python appear in the void. At this moment, he was absolutely certain that Little Python was the gate-guarding beast of the Tianxu Palace. It was just that for some reason, Little Python had perished and who knew how many times it had reincarnated, becoming the current Little Python, who happened to be bumped into by him and taken as a mount, until now, brought back to the Tianxu Palace. Little Python was essentially returning home. Here lay Little Python's memories and power, and now Little Python could be considered truly returned. Watching Little Python's aura continuously strengthen, it truly reached the Eternal level, and then climbed to the peak of the Eternal level.
After reaching the peak of the Eternal level, Little Python did not continue to break through but gradually stabilized. Vaguely, a force suppressed Little Python, preventing it from continuing to break through. At this moment, Little Python was no weaker than the Desolate Beast Emperor; if it utilized the Great Dao inside the Tianxu Palace, it could completely crush the Desolate Beast Emperor. Among the many creatures outside the Tianxu Palace, Little Python had become the strongest. According to Lin Moyu's estimation, if Little Python went all out, it might be able to fight against a Half-step Chaos Realm, not necessarily winning, but at least holding its own for a while would not be a problem.
The light dissipated, and Little Python slowly landed. After returning to being a gate-guarding beast, Little Python remained very obedient, crouching at Lin Moyu's feet. "Master, I know who I am." Lin Moyu examined Little Python. Little Python's appearance had changed somewhat; the scales on its body had become thicker, its size was much larger than before, and its whole body exuded an ink-like luster, like a black hole, absorbing the surrounding light. Little Python's crimson red eyes appeared exceptionally eerie in the pitch-black darkness. Lin Moyu sighed, "You're not as cute as before."
Hearing this, Little Python sounded three parts aggrieved, "I was born looking like this." Lin Moyu laughed, "It's fine, ugly is just ugly. Tell me, who are you?" Little Python said, "I am the gate-guarding divine beast of the Wushi Tianxu Palace, and also the lord of all beasts in this primeval Great Dao forest." "The gate-guarding divine beast of the Wushi Tianxu Palace." Lin Moyu murmured to himself, "So that means there is more than one Tianxu Palace." Little Python said, "There are 5 Tianxu Palaces in total, and each Tianxu Palace has a gate-guarding divine beast. I am the weakest among the main gate-guarding divine beasts."
Lin Moyu had also heard the roars from afar just now; the sounds carried a majestic force that vaguely exceeded the Eternal Realm. It seemed that was the work of the gate-guarding divine beasts of the other Tianxu Palaces. Lin Moyu continued to ask, "Then how did you, this gate-guarding divine beast, perish?" Little Python said with three parts of a crying tone, "I was injured by the Chaos Emperor. I fell into a deep sleep at that time, and later, I don't know how, but I died." Lin Moyu sneered, "You can't even figure this out?" Little Python shook its head, "I was in a deep sleep at the time, how would I know?" Lin Moyu said, "Think about it, besides you, who else could come here?"
Little Python tilted its head and thought for a while. The seemingly smart but actually not-so-smart guy suddenly shouted, "Are you saying it was the Butler?" Lin Moyu said, "Otherwise?" Little Python shook its head, "No, he wouldn't do that, and he couldn't pass the Path of Truth-Seeking." Lin Moyu did not think so. The Butler had been in the Tianxu for who knew how many years; over so much time, many things would change. Human hearts are unpredictable; unless one is an unfeeling stone, as long as one is a living creature, as long as one has intelligence, any change is normal. As for the Path of Truth-Seeking, it seemed difficult to walk, but in reality, it was not difficult. Lin Moyu did not dwell on this question. "Do you know who laid out the Path of Truth-Seeking?"
Little Python shook its head, "I don't know. It seems it has always been there." "The origin of the Tianxu, do you know?" Little Python still shook its head, "I don't know. When I awakened my intelligence, I was already the main gate-guarding divine beast. It wasn't that Little Python worked hard to become the main gate-guarding divine beast, but rather the Tianxu Palace chose it to be the gate-guarding divine beast. Perhaps before this, Little Python was just one of the creatures outside the Tianxu Palace, just lucky enough to be chosen." Lin Moyu said, "I want to enter the Tianxu Palace now; is there anything I should be careful about?"
Little Python said, "It is not safe inside the Tianxu Palace. If Master wants to go in, you must pay attention to safety. As for what is inside the Tianxu Palace, Little Python doesn't know either." Fine, it really was a case of knowing nothing. This gate-guarding divine beast was just a figurehead, of no use at all. Lin Moyu had already imagined the scene where Little Python was beaten into a deep sleep back then; it was that the Chaos Emperor came here to enter the Tianxu Palace, Little Python stopped him, and then was beaten into serious injury by the Chaos Emperor. The Chaos Emperor was already a Half-step Chaos Realm at that time, and his combat power far exceeded the Eternal Realm?
Even with the power of the Great Dao of the Tianxu Palace, Little Python could not stop him. However, the Chaos Emperor also held back and did not kill Little Python. It was just unexpected that in the end, Little Python was killed by the Butler. As for why the Butler wanted to kill Little Python, it must have been for other reasons; Little Python naturally would not stop him. Little Python also actively opened the gates of the Tianxu Palace for Lin Moyu. The gates, sealed for who knows how many years, opened, and an ancient, vast aura rushed out from behind the gates, turning into a long dragon that soared towards the sky, emitting bursts of dragon roars, causing resonance with countless Great Daos. The Tianxu, which had just quieted down, became lively again. "Master, you must be careful." Little Python urged. Lin Moyu chuckled, "Rest assured, I won't die." When no more aura rushed out from behind the gates, Lin Moyu strode into the Wushi Tianxu Palace.
In a corner of the Tianxu, the Butler slowly emerged. He looked towards the location of the Wushi Tianxu Palace and whispered to himself, "He's gone in; then I must begin too." Saying this, he waved his hand casually, and the evolved large hand pressed onto the ground. A formation immediately appeared on the ground; this formation was composed of Divine Talismans, and its complexity was even above that of the Path of Truth-Seeking. The Butler entered the formation, making himself the core of the formation, and then completely activated the formation. The formation started with a rumbling sound, and infinite Great Daos fell from the sky, pouring into the formation, while the Butler disappeared from the formation; he had merged into the Great Dao.
Chapter 4218: Planting Fruit First in the Tianxu Palace. The Tianxu Palace. This place, which only existed in legends, not only existed in reality but there was more than one. Lin Moyu stepped into it, treading on the ground of the Tianxu Palace, feeling a slight sense of unreality. The ground of the Tianxu Palace was incomparably solid, and Lin Moyu could easily feel its material; it was surprisingly innate origin treasure material. Using the incomparably precious innate origin treasure material as palace material, and even as stepping stones, one could only imagine how extravagant this palace was.
Truly extravagant. The Tianxu Palace exceeded Lin Moyu's imagination. How strong must the owner of the Tianxu Palace be? Perhaps only a Lord of the Realm could acquire so much innate origin treasure material. After entering the Tianxu Palace, there was a long corridor that stretched for a thousand meters. After a thousand meters, there were two diverging paths to the left and right. Lin Moyu did not immediately walk in, but took out the cause-seeking ring. Silently activating it, "Effect without Cause!" Lin Moyu decisively planted the fruit.
The fruit planted was that he would definitely be able to return safely from the Tianxu Palace. The power of the backlash surged, and Lin Moyu went "bang" and was shattered into pieces. He completed the Rebirth from the purple radiance; Lin Moyu was long accustomed to it and silently underwent Rebirth. Then he silently died again, without any expression. The pain of being shattered into pieces seemed not to exist for him. From the time he started cultivating until now, he didn't know how many times he had died; whether it was the pain or the fear in his heart, it had long since vanished. After twelve consecutive Rebirths, the backlash finally ended.
Lin Moyu took a deep breath. Twelve times; it seemed it really was somewhat dangerous. But the danger was not fatal, so it was not a big problem. By the number of Rebirths, one could judge the intensity of the backlash, and from the intensity of the backlash, one could analyze the difficulty of planting the fruit. The lower the difficulty of planting the fruit, the safer the trip, and vice versa. Twelve times was not too dangerous, at most it would be a close call. Lin Moyu waited for a moment, still not acting, and planted the fruit again. "Effect without Cause!" For the second time activating "Effect without Cause," the fruit planted this time was more direct. Lin Moyu wanted every one of his choices to be correct. This fruit was extremely unreasonable, but "Effect without Cause" was just this unreasonable. In Lin Moyu's view, he had already died so many times; if he still had to be reasonable, then what was the use of planting the fruit? The cause-seeking ring shimmered with a faint light, and he was shattered into pieces again. He had long since taken a detached view of life and death. The purple radiance flashed incessantly, and he died eight times in a row. The power of the backlash finally subsided. Only dying eight times; it seemed the choices would not be too difficult. After planting the fruit twice, Lin Moyu finally walked along the corridor towards the depths of the Tianxu Palace.
