Lin Moyu did not even know how much time he would need to condense a single Dao Pattern under normal circumstances; such an opportunity must absolutely not be missed.

Five years later, the twenty-third Dao Pattern was successfully condensed. Without a moment's pause, he continued to condense the twenty-fourth.

Normally speaking, he had already stepped into the Dao Venerable 1st Realm, and based on the foundation he had previously laid, he should have exactly eighteen Dao Patterns.

Each time one ascends a realm, the number of Dao Patterns can double.

In the Dao Venerable 1st Realm, he could condense another eighteen Dao Patterns, bringing the total number of Dao Patterns to thirty-six.

The deeper the foundation, the greater the gap would become later on, until it was incomparable.

Lin Moyu's foundation was so profound that it was despair-inducing.

For over a hundred years, the area where Lin Moyu was located, within a radius of ten thousand kilometers, had been shrouded in strange phenomena.

The people in Yudao City went from initial shock to later becoming accustomed to it, and in the end, they even viewed it as a piece of scenery.

At this time, Yudao City already possessed a large amount of basic information about the Origin Continent, which also included cultivation materials.

Of course, these cultivation materials were released layer by layer, and the information each person could obtain did not exceed two levels above their own realm.

The Human Emperor kept this information strictly confidential; one only knew information corresponding to their own level.

As for the strange phenomena produced when ascending to the Dao Venerable Realm, the Supremes within Yudao City were well aware of it.

They knew that the longer the strange phenomena lasted, the more powerful their City Lord would be.

The more powerful their City Lord was, the safer they would be, and the more benefits they would receive.

Under the Human Emperor's continuous guidance and promotion, everyone in Yudao City knew that they were all in the same boat.

Because they came from the Great World, they had to stick together.

Outside the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation, Lei Guang looked at the strange phenomena with shock in his eyes. "Brother Lin has been at it for over 100 years, right? Why hasn't the ascension ended yet?"

The Human Emperor appeared beside him. "The World Master has infinite potential, and his foundation is so solid that there has been no one like him before."

Lei Guang said, "Indeed. When I ascended to the Dao Venerable Realm back then, it only lasted for twenty-something years. Was it twenty-seven or twenty-eight years? I don't remember."

"Compared to Brother Lin, it really falls far short."

The Human Emperor said, "Twenty-something years can already be considered extremely excellent. Among the records of the Human Race, the most outstanding one was only forty-something years."

Lei Guang sighed, "I have truly witnessed Brother Lin's capabilities. From now on, no matter what happens to him, I will not be surprised."

The Human Emperor shook his head slightly. "Indeed, there is no need to be surprised!"

Looking through countless records, in the Human Emperor's view, no one could compare to Lin Moyu.

Those brilliant geniuses in history all paled in comparison to Lin Moyu.

In the one hundred and eleventh year since Lin Moyu began his ascension, the twenty-fourth Dao Pattern was successfully condensed.

At this moment, Lin Moyu's soul heard a loud noise, the images before his eyes shattered, and the strange phenomena vanished without a trace in an instant. With the disappearance of the strange phenomena, Lin Moyu's ascension ended.

Lin Moyu's gaze pierced through the secret chamber, seeing the situation outside, and saw Lei Guang guarding him.

His voice rang in Lei Guang's ears. "Many thanks, Brother Lei, for guarding me. I am fine now. When I come out of seclusion, I will come to find you for a drink."

Hearing Lin Moyu's voice, Lei Guang laughed loudly. "Congratulations to Brother Lin for breaking through to the Dao Venerable Realm. I will be off then, waiting for you to bring the wine."

"Definitely!"

Lin Moyu chuckled softly, and his consciousness sank back into his Rule World.

He appeared before the Great World core. The world core was shining brightly, and a large amount of light enveloped Lin Moyu, as if welcoming his arrival.

Although the Great World had been integrated into Lin Moyu's Rule World, it still existed independently; Lin Moyu had not destroyed the Great World.

He also did not use the Great World to ascend to the Dao Venerable Realm.

Not only would he not destroy the Great World, he would also nurture it.

He took out a world gem and threw it to the Great World.

The Great World had now reached the peak of a 6th-tier world and only needed one world gem to ascend to the 7th tier.

Previously, because his own realm was not high enough, he had delayed letting the Great World ascend.

Now that he had become a Dao Venerable, he immediately allowed the Great World to ascend.

The world gem and the world core fused rapidly, and powerful energy emanated from the world core, quickly spreading throughout the entire Great World.

The level of the Great World began to rise, moving from the 6th tier to the 7th tier.

The entire world was sublimating, and a large number of stars emerged from the Great World. The Great World was originally a world with many stars; ascending from the 6th tier to the 7th tier, the number of stars would increase by at least several times.

The resources within the stars would also increase accordingly, and it would become easier for the living beings within the Great World to cultivate.

Moreover, the cultivation aptitude of the living beings within the Great World would also improve.

Not just the newly born living beings, but the aptitude of every living being would improve; this was the ability of a high-tier world, allowing the beings of the world to possess immense potential.

A 7th-tier Great World was already sufficient to accommodate a Dao Venerable.

Currently, the strategy of the Human Emperor and Lin Moyu was to divide the Great World and Yudao City into two parts and develop them together.

Many old people were also left in the Great World; after the Great World ascended, these old people also had the opportunity to explore higher realms.

Chapter 2892: Antares

The ascension of the Great World had an impact on the entire world in all aspects.

If it were before, Lin Moyu might have needed the Human Emperor to analyze and dissect it.

But now, at his realm, many things no longer required the Human Emperor to analyze; he only needed to take one look to know.

Having reached the Dao Venerable Realm, in the eyes of many, one had already achieved the Dao and realized the Dao.

Too many things could be understood at a glance as to why they were the way they were.

The power of the Great Dao was magical and could make one omniscient.

Lin Moyu had not yet truly achieved the Dao, but he already possessed such a capability.

This was the Dao Venerable Realm, a realm where one truly came into contact with the mysteries of the Great Dao.

As the master of the Great World, Lin Moyu could see it even more clearly.

The luck of the Great World had become different; luck had increased significantly, and the Great Dao of Luck of the Origin Continent was pouring a massive amount of luck toward the Great World.

The heavy karma of the past had been severed, and with the blessing of luck, the Power of Origin of the Great World had strengthened.

Under all these circumstances, the Great World underwent intense changes.

Almost all cultivators in the Great World felt that their cultivation had become easier, and the realms they had previously been stuck in all showed signs of breaking through.

Although the Great World was still far inferior to the Origin Continent, at least it could now accommodate a Dao Venerable.

As long as it continued to ascend and raised the Great World to the 9th tier, perhaps one day, the Great World could truly rival the Origin Continent.

Lin Moyu sensed the entire Great World, and suddenly his brows furrowed slightly; he had sensed a strand of karma.

"Shouldn't the karma of the Great World have been severed? Why is there still some?"

Lin Moyu clearly remembered that at that time, the karma of the Great World had been completely severed. All races that had interacted with the Great World, and living beings from various Boundary Sea Worlds, had been cleared away. Only a few races that had once been on good terms with the Human Race were still living quietly in the Great World today.

At that time, even the karma from the Black Blood Great World had been severed.

But why? Now, karma had appeared again.

A line of karma was entwined around the Great World.

Lin Moyu sensed it carefully and discovered that this line of karma should have always existed. It was just that his realm was not high enough at the time, so he hadn't discovered it.

As the Great World integrated into his Rule World, this line of karma had actually been transferred to him.

"This line of karma is so secretive. Where does it come from?"

"Could it be that the Great World still has unbroken karma? Is it the karma of the Black Blood Great World?"

The Great Dao of Karma was also a type of illusory Dao. To deal with the Great Dao of Karma, one also had to use the power of the illusory Dao.

Lin Moyu's luck rumbled, and the Dao of Strength appeared beneath his feet, with the power of the Great Dao merging into his blood energy.

Lin Moyu's palm shimmered with a faint light. At this moment, Lin Moyu's hand could already touch illusory items.

He reached out and grabbed the line of karma entwined around the Great World, pulling hard, but the line of karma did not move at all.

"It won't pull?"

Lin Moyu was slightly surprised and subconsciously increased his strength.

But no matter how much he increased his strength, he could not pull the line of karma.

The line of karma passed through the void of the Soul Void and was directly entwined on the Great World; it could not be removed at all.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and condensed a Sword of Luck in his hand.

He swung the Sword of Luck and slashed at the line of karma, but the line of karma still did not move at all.

There was no sound, nor any movement.

The line of karma had not changed, and the same was true for the Sword of Luck.

The characteristic of the Sword of Luck was that if it successfully attacked an enemy, while weakening the enemy's luck, it would also be weakened itself.

Luck cancels each other out, so one could only strike three times each time.

But this time, it had no loss, which meant it had no effect at all.

Lin Moyu tried a few times and found it useless, so he ultimately had to give up.

"Since there is karma, clues will inevitably appear in the future."

"I am truly curious as to what kind of karma exists at the other end of the Soul Void."

Lin Moyu was not worried. Now that the Great World was no longer what it used to be, under his control, whoever wanted to do anything had to ask if he agreed first.

Lin Moyu exited the Great World and entered the Soul World to check his spells.

Upon ascending to the Dao Venerable Realm, every spell had undergone great changes.

Next, he still had to fuse the six newly condensed Dao Patterns. Naturally, this meant fusing the Dao True Body; six Great Daos, six Dao True Bodies, all had to be fused into the Dao Patterns.

Lin Moyu had just entered the Soul World and had not yet checked the changes in his spells when a deafening sound suddenly rang in his ears.

"Brat, are you ever going to finish?"

From his soul to his body, Lin Moyu shuddered violently at the same time and blurted out, "Antares!"

This voice, this tone; he was too familiar with it. It was Antares, without a doubt.

Antares's voice continued to ring out. "Brat, I didn't expect you to have forgotten me yet."

Lin Moyu laughed. "Aren't you the same!"

Antares laughed. "It's been many years; you have finally become a Dao Venerable. That's quite a bit faster than I thought."

Lin Moyu laughed. "You know what my talent is like, don't you? This is already considered slow for me."

The two had not met for many years, and they were not meeting now, but when they spoke, they were incredibly familiar, without any sense of estrangement.

Antares laughed. "You are as shameless as ever."

Lin Moyu also laughed. "Judging by your tone, you seem more composed than before. Where are you? I'll come find you!"

Antares's laughter changed, carrying a hint of craftiness. "With your intelligence, you must have already guessed it, so why pretend?"

Lin Moyu seemed to be able to imagine Antares's current expression and also said with a smile, "Seeing is not necessarily believing, let alone guessing. But now I can be certain that the new emperor of the Dongling Empire is you."

Antares said, "It is me, indeed. But you cannot come over right now; I haven't finished dealing with the matters here."

Lin Moyu asked, "How much longer will you need?"

Having not seen Antares for so many years, to tell the truth, he really wanted to see him.

Antares said, "It's hard to say; the matters at hand are a bit troublesome. Do you remember that you promised me back then that we would kill our way to the Dragon Race together?"

Lin Moyu nodded. "Anytime!"

Antares said, "You have just become a Dao Venerable now; wanting to kill your way to the Dragon Race is still far from enough."

"Moreover, it is not just the Dragon Race here that I intend to kill my way to."

"So you still need to continue cultivating and raise your realm."

Lin Moyu asked, "Then what realm do I need to reach?"

Antares fell silent. A moment later, he said, "At least a realm where you can fight against the Great Dao Realm. I see that you have embarked on a correct path, which is very good; you have more opportunities than the vast majority of people."

"So you do not need to inquire about my whereabouts. In this world, there are only a few people who know where I am, and they will not tell you."

"Cultivate well. When I have finished dealing with the matters at hand, I will naturally come to find you!"

Lin Moyu said, "Alright, I will wait for you. When the time comes, I also have something to tell you, and you might be greatly surprised."
