Lin Moyu asked, “Is Ancestor Mu Chen’s dao companion self-sealed because her lifespan reached its limit?”

He calculated the time. Even without being self-sealed, Ancestor Mu Chen's dao companion should not be four hundred thousand years old yet.

For a Dao Venerable, one should not choose to self-seal at four hundred thousand years old; there might be some issues there.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "Ancestor Mu Chen's dao companion is named Gu Hanxue, and she is self-sealed because she was injured."

"Ancestor Mu Chen has been searching for a cure all these years, but has never found a way," Lin Moyu said.

"Is it an injury to the soul?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "Only a few ancestors know the specific injury. I am not clear on it either, but I have heard Ice Ancestor mention it."

"It should be related to the Soul Void. If it is related to the Soul Void, then nine times out of ten, it is an injury at the soul level."

"And injuries at the soul level are the hardest to treat. Even the three ancestors do not have any good solutions."

"Otherwise, the three ancestors would not have been helpless regarding those one hundred and sixty Dao Venerables at that time," Lin Moyu thought to himself.

"Perhaps I have a way to make Ancestor Mu Chen speak, but before that, I would like to meet Ancestor Mu Chen."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "I will take you." Saint Master Gu Hanyu was the Saint Master.

She managed all affairs within the Holy Land. Her authority was immense, and she controlled the origin spirit vein to perform teleports.

That was within her jurisdiction. Immediately, she took Lin Moyu to where Ancestor Mu Chen was. After a brief teleportation,

the three arrived in a valley. This valley's temperature was even lower, much colder than the valley where Ancestor Gu Cang resided.

Lin Moyu took a look and whispered, "This formation…"

"It is quite good," Saint Master Gu Hanyu explained. "This is the Profound Ice Formation set up by Ancestor Mu Chen."

"The Profound Ice Formation can further strengthen the self-sealing effect." Lin Moyu understood. Most people in Hanshui Holy Land practiced ice-type techniques.

Ice was not only harmless to them but actually beneficial. Even when self-sealing,

it was done in an extremely low-temperature environment. The lower the temperature, the better. However, every cultivator

could withstand different levels of cold depending on their cultivation realm. Ancestor Mu Chen had set up the Profound Ice Formation in his residence,

utilizing the formations already present in Hanshui Holy Land to further lower the valley's temperature until it reached the limit his dao companion could withstand.

"In this state, the effect of the self-sealing can be increased by at least thirty percent," Saint Master Gu Hanyu said.

"Generally speaking, Ancestor Mu Chen will not leave here. Even if there are matters to discuss,

he will at most send a clone. Sometimes, he won't even use a clone." Lin Moyu looked around.

"A nice place, a nice formation. It not only lowers the temperature

but also draws upon the Holy Land's destiny. Although it doesn't draw much, over a long period,

it can accumulate over time. It seems this Ancestor Mu Chen loves very deeply."

The Eye of the Undead swept over. Lin Moyu saw two Soul Fires in the valley. One Soul Fire was extremely vast,

reaching the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable. That should be Ancestor Mu Chen. The other Soul Fire

was somewhat incomplete, clearly having suffered heavy damage. The soul was severely injured,

with the possibility of collapsing at any moment. However, that Soul Fire had fallen into a dormant state. Under the dual effects of the self-sealing and the ice,

the momentum of the soul's collapse was curbed. Judging from the Remnant Soul, the other party's cultivation realm should be around the Dao Venerable 6th Realm.

It was not yet at the seventh realm. Lin Moyu was certain that his soul was sufficient to repair the other party's soul, so he spoke up.

"Let's go. Ancestor Mu Chen is inside." Saint Master Gu Hanyu continued to lead the way.

They walked towards the inside of the valley. The valley was not large, and there were no courtyards or buildings inside.

There was only a small wooden hut, very simple. Outside the hut,

there was a large silver tree, covered in wind and snow. Under the large tree,

a five-meter-tall crystal stood there. Inside the crystal, a beautiful jade-like woman

was lying within. Beside the crystal, an extremely inconspicuous man in plain clothes

was sitting cross-legged. Saint Master Gu Hanyu said loudly, "Greetings, Ancestor Mu Chen!"

Ancestor Mu Chen did not open his eyes. "Saint Master, do you have business coming here?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "There are indeed some matters I have come to trouble Ancestor Mu Chen with." Ancestor Mu Chen said, "You are the Saint Master.

If there is anything, just say it directly." Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "This matter

might make Ancestor Mu Chen feel a bit troubled." Ancestor Mu Chen did not speak; he was waiting for Saint Master Gu Hanyu to continue.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu roughly explained the situation between herself and Lin Moyu. Ancestor Mu Chen finally opened his eyes.

He looked at Lin Moyu, his voice low. "Saint Master,

do you know the rules of the Holy Land?" Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "Hanyu understands.

But rules are set by people, and naturally, they can be changed." Ancestor Mu Chen shook his head.

"That is indeed correct; rules can indeed be changed, but currently, you do not have the ability to change them.

If you want to change them, wait until you become a Ninth Realm Ancestor." Saint Master Gu Hanyu sighed softly.

She had known from the beginning that Ancestor Mu Chen would definitely not support her. Lin Moyu smiled slightly.

"Senior Ancestor Mu Chen, this junior Lin Moyu would like to make a deal with you.

If this junior can cure the injuries of your dao companion, then can you stand on Saint Master Gu Hanyu's side at that time?"

Chapter 3346: Ancestor Mu Chen, Who Has Principles but No Bottom Line

Ancestor Mu Chen's eyes suddenly shone with intense light. "What did you say?"

Lin Moyu was unhurried.

"It is exactly what it sounds like. Senior, please consider it." Ancestor Mu Chen almost did not consider it.

He replied without hesitation, "If you can save my dao companion, what does it matter if I help you kill your way out of the Holy Land?"

Lin Moyu discovered that Ancestor Mu Chen was a person with very strong principles, and his principle was his dao companion.

As long as he could save his dao companion, he could do anything, no matter how lacking in bottom line it was.

And he was willing to do it. As long as one knew where such a person's principles lay, it was very easy to get along with them.

It was much easier to get along with him than with many people who were hesitant and overcautious. Hearing Ancestor Mu Chen's answer, Saint Master Gu Hanyu was stunned on the spot.

Not to mention Saint Master Gu Hanyu, Xiao Mei was also stunned on the spot. One of them was the current Saint Master,

and the other was a former Ninth Realm Ancestor. Both were from the Gu family and had deep feelings for Hanshui Holy Land.

Ancestor Mu Chen's words made it somewhat difficult for them to accept for a moment. Ancestor Mu Chen said,

"Saint Master, do not mind my words. To me, Hanxue is more important than anything else."

Ancestor Mu Chen was not trying to betray Hanshui Holy Land; Hanshui Holy Land was also his home. Saint Master Gu Hanyu slightly understood Ancestor Mu Chen's thoughts.

It could only be said that his deep love for Gu Hanxue had surpassed everything else. For Gu Hanxue,

Ancestor Mu Chen could give up his home, but that did not mean he did not love his home.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "It is not that exaggerated. I only need Senior Ancestor Mu Chen to speak a few words for us at that time.

If it is truly necessary to kill our way out of the Holy Land, actually, there is no need for you to take action. If this junior wants to take people away,

they cannot stop me." Ancestor Mu Chen looked at Lin Moyu. "I do not know if you are boasting,

but I feel that you are very confident in your own strength." Lin Moyu smiled.

"I will first treat your dao companion's injuries. We can talk about other things after the injuries are healed." As he spoke, he walked towards the crystal sealing Gu Hanxue.

Ancestor Mu Chen did not stop him, but he kept staring at Lin Moyu. If Lin Moyu made any unusual moves,

he would naturally not be polite. Lin Moyu arrived at the side of the self-sealing crystal. "Senior Mu,

please remove the Profound Ice Formation and lift the self-sealing. This matter is actually something Lin Moyu could do,

but with Ancestor Mu Chen here, it was not his turn to act." Ancestor Mu Chen said to Lin Moyu,

"How much confidence do you have?" Lin Moyu said, "One hundred percent."

Ancestor Mu Chen looked at Saint Master Gu Hanyu. Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "I believe him."

Ancestor Mu Chen nodded and waved his large hand. The Profound Ice Formation stopped with a roar.

The temperature began to rise rapidly, and then the crystal began to melt. The self-sealing was lifted.

The reason Ancestor Mu Chen agreed so readily was that he truly had no other options; it had been so many years.

Self-sealing also had a time limit. The longer one was self-sealed, the slimmer the hope of recovery.

Now that Lin Moyu had appeared, and was brought by Saint Master Gu Hanyu, Ancestor Mu Chen had to try it no matter what.

Under the Eye of the Undead, Lin Moyu saw Gu Hanxue's Soul Fire begin to recover its pulsing, just like a heartbeat.

It became increasingly powerful, but because she had suffered heavy injuries, her soul was incomplete.

This power was only an illusion; the soul was gradually dissipating as it pulsed, and could collapse at any moment.

Everyone present could clearly feel that Gu Hanxue's soul was stepping towards death step by step. If not stopped,

it would not take long for the soul to completely collapse. Without a word, Lin Moyu let a spirit flower fly from his palm.

It quickly landed on Gu Hanxue, and the spirit flower bloomed, enveloping Gu Hanxue within it.

The spirit flower contained magical power, and the soul that was heading towards death immediately calmed down. Following that,

the soul aura began to become powerful. Not only did it stop decaying, but it began to recover instead.

Deep joy flowed in Ancestor Mu Chen's eyes. He seemed to see hope; it was truly starting to recover.

Lin Moyu said, "I keep my word. Since I said I could save her,

then I definitely can. It's just that I am a bit curious, how did Senior Hanxue get injured?"

"I observed Senior Hanxue's soul, and it seems to have the aura of the Soul Void." Ancestor Mu Chen sighed heavily.

"It is all because of me. At that time, we were both curious and wanted to go to the Soul Void to see.

We also knew the Soul Void was dangerous and easy to get lost in, so we did not intend to go too far.

We just wanted to take a look nearby. It was a coincidence; we hadn't flown very far

when we encountered an object. Our soul intuition told us that this thing had great benefits for our souls.

So we tried to find a way to obtain it. That object was flying towards us, but we did not dare to leave the Soul World too far.

So we waited there. After a long time, we finally obtained that object.

But along with that object, there was also a terrifying creature. We fought a great battle with that creature.

We were no match for it and had to flee. In the end, although we obtained that object, Hanxue was injured by that creature because of it.

To tell you the truth, my reaching the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable was also thanks to that object.

But the price paid was truly too great. If I could do it all over again, I would absolutely never go to the Soul Void again."

To Ancestor Mu Chen, living well with his beloved, even if his cultivation realm was lower,

and being happy every day, was better than the current situation. Ancestor Mu Chen faced the self-sealing crystal every day,

watching his beloved wife in the crystal. No matter how high his cultivation was, it was useless to him. Now,

he finally saw hope. Ancestor Mu Chen assured Lin Moyu, "Little friend, rest assured.

Regarding your matter with Saint Master Gu Hanyu, I will definitely stand on your side. In this world,

true love is the most precious thing. The rules in the Holy Land truly need to be changed."

Lin Moyu looked at the serious-faced Ancestor Mu Chen and thought to himself, "This Ancestor Mu Chen

is a devoted romantic. There are countless people in this world who love each other sincerely, but perhaps those who love to his extent

are very few." Lin Moyu knew that within Hanshui Holy Land,
