Lei Guang snorted coldly, “You want to leave just like that? It’s not that easy!”

Powerful thunder erupted from its entire body, evolving into a sea of thunder that enveloped the warship.

The warship glowed all over, and all its formations were activated in that instant.

The warship was very strong; it inherited the Dragon Elephant clan's advantage of powerful defense, moving rapidly through the sea of thunder.

Lei Guang chased after it, but suddenly, a Dragon Elephant clan Dao Venerable appeared on the warship.

When Lei Guang saw it, a sense of danger welled up instinctively.

He stopped abruptly and did not continue the pursuit, watching helplessly as the warship broke through his sea of thunder and flew into the distance.

The Dragon Elephant clan had come aggressively, but after fighting for a while, they left with their tails between their legs without gaining any advantage.

Several Dragon Elephant clan Dao Venerables had suffered varying degrees of injuries; it could be said to be quite embarrassing.

Lei Guang sighed, "The Dragon Elephant clan's defense is too strong; I couldn't even leave one behind."

The Human Emperor said, "It's normal that you couldn't keep them; Dragon Elephant clan Dao Venerables aren't that easy to kill."

Lei Guang was a bit puzzled, "Why was that Dragon Elephant clan fellow fighting so desperately just now? It's really strange."

The Human Emperor said, "There's nothing strange about it. You must have killed members of the Dragon Elephant clan. They have an ability in their bloodline that can distinguish who has killed their kin."

Lei Guang revealed an expression of sudden realization, "So that's how it is. Among us spirit beasts, it seems some also have similar abilities."

The Human Emperor asked, "You suddenly stopped just now—did you see something?"

Lei Guang said, "There was a Dao Venerable 6th Realm fellow on their warship."

The Human Emperor nodded, "No wonder you stopped suddenly. A Dragon Elephant Dao Venerable at the Dao Venerable 6th Realm is indeed difficult to deal with."

Lei Guang was still puzzled, "I still don't quite understand—why didn't that Dao Venerable 6th Realm fighter make a move?"

The Human Emperor explained patiently, "There must have been some issue; otherwise, he definitely would have attacked."

"Moreover, the Dragon Elephant clan didn't seem to be targeting us this time; they likely had other missions."

"They aren't this time, but it's hard to say when they come next."

Lei Guang frowned, "Then what should we do? What if they come back?"

The Human Emperor shook his head, "There's no good solution for now; we can only take it one step at a time. If the Realm Lord can successfully enter the Dao Venerable Realm, then we won't need to worry if they come again."

Lei Guang said, "With Brother Lin's aptitude, this breakthrough to the Dao Venerable Realm could take decades or even a century. With so much time, many accidents could happen."

The Human Emperor said, "If an accident really happens, it doesn't actually matter. As long as a Dao Venerable 7th Realm doesn't come, it won't be a problem."

Lin Moyu had long since left behind contingency plans, but some were not easy to use.

For example, the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger he left behind also possessed combat power at the Dao Venerable 6th Realm.

But once you make a move in front of the demon race, how do you explain it?

If it got out that the human race had turned a Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger into a puppet and enslaved it, it probably wouldn't be long before the entire Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger clan mobilized and came to slaughter us.

Fighting is fine, but you can't go too far.

Every race has its bottom line.

The Human Emperor was organizing a large amount of information and naturally knew this, which is why only Zhao Dongsheng and the Great Sword Dao Venerable made a move this time.

At the same time, the Human Emperor never thought about keeping them all here to kill them.

That could also invite trouble. The demon race has its own methods of communication; before they died, they might leak the news here, which would also invite endless trouble.

Therefore, the best method is to beat them away.

Then continue waiting, waiting for Lin Moyu to successfully breakthrough.

The arrival of the Dragon Elephant clan was like an interlude and did not stir up any waves.

Lin Moyu continued to maintain close contact with the Great Daos, comprehending them.

He touched the Great Dao of Luck, and a large amount of insights flooded his heart, which Lin Moyu quickly digested.

Until the Great Dao of Luck no longer provided insights, Lin Moyu knew he had reached his limit, so he switched to another.

The second Great Dao was the Great Dao of Time. As a Great Dao that exists between the virtual and the real and is equally difficult to comprehend, Lin Moyu ranked it second.

The third Great Dao was the Great Dao of Space, followed by his own natal Great Dao, the Undying Great Dao.

Originally, Lin Moyu wanted to put the Undying Great Dao in fifth place; after all, it was his own natal Great Dao and the easiest to comprehend, so it could be put off.

But thinking about the cultivation method of the Thousand Star Great Dao, it seemed to have nothing to do with comprehension, so he moved the Undying Great Dao to fourth place.

Of the six Great Daos, four required comprehension, while the other two required different cultivation methods.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.

Lin Moyu's speed of comprehending the Great Daos was very fast; after twenty years, he had already begun to comprehend the Great Dao of Space.

Within those twenty years, the strange phenomena remained, but no one came to disturb him.

The area where Yudao City was located was relatively remote, and there were usually not many passersby.

During these twenty years, Lei Guang did not move, always guarding outside.

It ate thunder sword grass, which was very useful to it; in just twenty years, Lei Guang's aura had improved significantly.

In the thirtieth year, Lin Moyu began to comprehend the Undying Great Dao.

At this moment, space twisted slightly, and an invisible aura descended.

This aura was hidden in space; after descending, it remained motionless, and neither Lei Guang nor the Human Emperor noticed it.

In the fortieth year, Lin Moyu finally finished comprehending the four Great Daos.

The time he spent in contact with the Great Daos was more than he expected; being able to successfully comprehend the four Great Daos was already very good.

At the very least, his foundation at the Dao Venerable 1st Realm was already solid, and he could even push for the Dao Venerate Second Realm.

Those who cannot fully comprehend a Great Dao have to slowly comprehend it after becoming Dao Venerables, wasting a lot of time.

For a cultivator, breaking through from Celestial Venerable to Dao Venerable is an opportunity, and it depends on how much you can grasp.

Lin Moyu sank his consciousness into the Thousand Star Great Dao; the cultivation method of the Thousand Star Great Dao was different from the others. It did not require comprehension, but rather power.

A faint light shone within the Thousand Star Great Dao, pointing out the path for Lin Moyu.

He entered a mysterious space and saw infinite stars.

Each star represented a position of a Star Lord.

The cultivation method of the Thousand Star Great Dao was to activate these stars and let them return to their positions, so the Thousand Star Great Dao could recover and become powerful.

And activating the stars required powerful strength.

Activating the stars within the Thousand Star Great Dao required extremely powerful strength.

The stars within the Great Dao had different attributes, and the strength required for each was also different.

But there were two types of power that were universal.

One was the power of the Great Dao, just like the power of the Great Dao that descended during Great Dao rewards. This power of the Great Dao had no attributes and was extremely pure power.

The other type of power was Lin Moyu's soul power.

Soul power, like the power of the Great Dao, had no attributes. The disadvantage was that soul power was not as pure as the power of the Great Dao, and the strength of the power was insufficient, and the total amount was limited.

Even the soul power of the Dao Venerable Realm was limited, and recovery was relatively slow.

The soul power required to revive a star was enormous.

After understanding this, Lin Moyu was overjoyed.

Others' soul power was not pure enough, but his own soul power was very pure.

Under the dual refining of the ten-colored dragon soul crystal and the World Tree, his own soul power had been refined to the extreme.

Perhaps it was not as good as the power of the Great Dao, but compared to other Dao Venerables, it was vastly superior.

Next was the total amount of soul power. As long as he controlled the rate of consumption, he didn't need to worry about the problem of insufficient soul power; after all, he had a huge backup.

Lin Moyu chose a star, one that was not too powerful, and injected his soul power into it.

He didn't choose a star that was too powerful for the first one, so that he could increase the success rate and reduce the risk of failure.

The soul power was successfully injected into the star, and this star, which had been sleeping for who knows how long, bloomed with light once again.

The light was very weak, and as Lin Moyu continued to inject soul power, it was reviving.

Among the Great Dao stars above the Origin Continent, in a previously empty space, a star appeared abruptly and began to pulse with light, while waves of Star Lord power spread outward.

Within several Great Daos, someone slowly opened their eyes.

"The Star Lord within the Thousand Star Great Dao has finally begun to revive."

"How exciting. With the Star Lord returning to their position, I wonder if a new Dao Lord will be born."

"Hopefully a Dao Lord will be born; I look forward to the arrival of that day."

"The reappearance of the Thousand Star Great Dao—does it mean they are coming again?"

"Perhaps. After so long, it would be normal if they came again."

"Prepare yourselves; it will be another great battle."

Outside Yudao City, Lei Guang, who was digesting the thunder sword grass, suddenly opened its eyes and looked into the distance.

A warship was heading towards Yudao City. Before the warship arrived, a powerful aura had already swept over.

Lei Guang whispered, "The Dragon Elephant clan—they've come again!"

The Human Emperor also appeared beside Lei Guang, and together with the Human Emperor, the Great Sword Dao Venerable and Zhao Dongsheng also appeared.

The Human Emperor's gaze swept over the warship, "My previous guess was correct; they indeed had other things to do."

There was damage in many places on the warship; compared to last time, its power had been significantly weakened.

Previously, the warship itself could fight the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation to a draw; this time, it probably wouldn't be so easy.

But the Dragon Elephant clan's warship was never the main force; the real main force was the Dragon Elephant clan Dao Venerables inside the warship.

The warship stopped in the distance and did not approach, which also meant that the warship would not participate in this battle.

Waves of powerful auras rose, and the Dragon Elephant clan Dao Venerables flew out of the warship.

There were a total of four Dao Venerables: one Dao Venerable 4th Realm, and two Dao Venerable 5th Realm.

These three were old acquaintances; they had fought last time.

The other person had not made a move last time; he had the cultivation of the Dao Venerable 6th Realm.

Lei Guang narrowed its eyes, "They seem to be injured."

The Human Emperor nodded, "Indeed, they are all injured, and there is one fewer person."

The other Dao Venerable who had fought them before, that Dao Venerable 4th Realm fellow, was no longer there.

From the injuries on their bodies and the damage to the warship, it could be judged that that Dao Venerable had in all likelihood fallen.

Obviously, the thing they went to do was not safe.

The Human Emperor said, "Leave that Dao Venerable 6th Realm fellow to you—is that okay?"

Lei Guang agreed without hesitation, "Even if I can't kill him, he won't be able to kill me either."

Lei Guang had confidence in itself; the Dragon Elephant clan had powerful defense, but their attack power was actually quite ordinary.

If he tangled with him, the other party would have no way to deal with him at all.

The Human Emperor said, "Alright, leave him to you, and leave the other three to me. Once I kill them, I will come to help you."

Lei Guang nodded, "No problem."

They discussed it together, but strangely, these few Dragon Elephant clan Dao Venerables did not make a move.

That 6th Realm Dragon Elephant Dao Venerable looked at the Human Emperor, "Are you the master of this place?"

He didn't make a move, but chose to speak instead, which made the Human Emperor feel something was unusual.

The Human Emperor whispered, "Say what you have to say."

The Dragon Elephant Dao Venerable's voice remained low, "We want to borrow your origin spirit vein."

The Human Emperor immediately realized what they wanted to do; they wanted to borrow the origin spirit vein to heal their injuries.

In this way, it seemed their injuries were more serious than they appeared.

It was possible that their souls were injured; otherwise, mere physical injuries would be nothing.

Last time they tried to seize the origin spirit vein and failed, and this time they wanted to borrow it. The Human Emperor flatly refused, "Impossible, there is no room for negotiation."

The Dragon Elephant Dao Venerable continued, "Consider it again; we don't want to fight."

The Human Emperor said, "If you want to fight, go ahead. The origin spirit vein will absolutely not be lent."
