Lin Moyu moved his consciousness, teleporting back to the valley.

At the center of the valley, the Spirit-Turning Blessed Land still existed.

Inside the Spirit-Turning Blessed Land, there was a high protrusion.

The outside was covered with spirit soil, and inside was the soul crystal where Lillian slept.

Lin Moyu came to the side of the crystal and said with a soul voice, "Recover well. When you truly wake up, I will naturally know. I will come then; this place is very safe. Do not be afraid, everything is fine."

After finishing, Lin Moyu left the valley.

He had secured his territory, and the matters here were finished.

It was time for him to leave.

Although he had encountered danger this time, the harvest was extremely bountiful.

In Lin Moyu's view, it was worth it.

It was about time to return to the Southern Continent!

Through the origin spirit vein, after several teleports, Lin Moyu arrived at the edge of his territory.

Separated by a canyon, the opposite side was the territory of the Dragon Race.

Chapter 3322: They Cannot Stop Me

This place was once the boundary between the Nether Race and the Dragon Race, but now it had become the boundary between his Undead Empire and the Dragon Race, separated by the canyon.

He saw a large number of the Dragon Race gathering there.

Lin Moyu saw several old acquaintances—no, they should be old dragon acquaintances.

Lin Moyu flew over, his body radiating the aura of a Dragon Race Elder.

This immediately caused surprise among many members of the Dragon Race.

From within the dragon group, one person slowly flew out, seemingly coming to welcome Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Great Elder Ao Luo, I did not expect you to personally bring people over."

Great Elder Ao Luo also smiled and said, "So it is Elder Lin. Some strange changes occurred in the territory of the Nether Race. We did not know what happened, so we came to check just in case."

Previously, the Nether Race had nearly attacked the Dragon Race, so the Dragon Race had to be wary of any changes in the Nether Race.

As it turned out, the Nether Race did not come, but Lin Moyu did.

Great Elder Ao Luo had long known that Lin Moyu had gone to the Nether Race territory, but there had been no new news, so gradually, he had put it out of his mind.

Lin Moyu said, "There is no longer a Nether Race in this world; that place is now my Undead Empire. I was just about to inform Clan Leader Long Wei about this, and since you are here, it saves me an extra trip."

Lin Moyu used telepathy to give a rough account of what happened with the Nether Race.

He concealed most of the details, telling him only that the Nether Race had now been destroyed by him and that the territory of the Nether Race now belonged to him.

On the territory of the Nether Race, he had established the Undead Empire and set up a great formation.

He hoped the Dragon Race could help keep an eye on it.

Lin Moyu was an honorary Elder of the Dragon Race and had done them a great favor; naturally, the Dragon Race would not refuse such a small request.

At the same time, Lin Moyu also learned from Great Elder Ao Luo that they had recently opened the ancestral land again, and then, led by Grand Elder Long Sheng, they entered the ancestral land to clear out those mutated giant beasts.

Although this could not solve the problem from the root, it could at least address the symptoms, ensuring no further trouble in the Dragon Race's ancestral land for a short time.

According to Grand Elder Long Sheng, this method was also found by Lin Moyu, which was another favor to the Dragon Race.

Having bestowed great favors upon the Dragon Race one after another, Great Elder Ao Luo was extremely polite to Lin Moyu.

This dragon, Great Elder Ao Luo, was clear about gratitude and grudges.

He repaid favors and was also smart enough.

Lin Moyu was quite happy to deal with such a dragon.

After bidding farewell to Great Elder Ao Luo, Lin Moyu set off on the road back to the Southern Continent.

He had to go to a city in the southern part of the Dragon Race's territory first, and through the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce there, take a hurricane warship back to the Southern Continent.

According to his calculations, the No. 4 hurricane warship should arrive soon.

The No. 4 hurricane warship was also currently the only warship that could travel from the Western Continent to the Southern Continent.

If one did not take the No. 4 hurricane warship, traveling from the Western Continent to the Southern Continent would require taking the No. 3 hurricane warship to reach the Eastern Continent first, and then transferring to the No. 1 hurricane warship to head to the Southern Continent.

This would be time-consuming and laborious, doubling the journey.

Of course, some powerful Dao Venerables could also choose to cross the Boundary Sea, but that would be dangerous.

In case of an accident, even a Dao Venerable could fall.

The reason for this situation was still the conflicts between various races.

Initially, the four hurricane warships were each responsible for the travel between two major continents, so things were not that complicated.

Lin Moyu released Xiao Mei again.

"Xiao Mei, have you gained anything over these past few years?"

Three years had passed, and ten-year-old Xiao Mei was now thirteen.

Not only had her cultivation increased significantly, but she had also grown taller.

Her appearance had become even more delicate and lovely, and Xiao Mei's voice remained crisp.

She had learned a lot and had already gained some understanding of formations.

For the past three years, while Lin Moyu was setting up formations, although he had not released Xiao Mei, he had always allowed her to see the situation outside.

The process of Lin Moyu refining the fortress and the process of setting up formations were all seen by Xiao Mei.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Moyu also constantly explained the key points of the formations to Xiao Mei, while also teaching her how to draw runes.

Lin Moyu, as a teacher, could be described as dedicated and unreserved.

Xiao Mei possessed an innate Dao Soul, and with her cultivation experience from her previous life, she learned very quickly.

She constantly absorbed the knowledge imparted by Lin Moyu, and her understanding of formations and runes was also rapidly improving.

Lin Moyu discovered that although she possessed an innate Dao Soul, Xiao Mei's speed of understanding formations and runes was still far from comparable to his own.

Regarding formations and runes, it could be said that he understood them at a single touch, with absolutely no bottlenecks.

Even the most difficult runes only required a little practice to master, and even the most complex formations could be understood as long as he looked at them and thought about them more.

However, Xiao Mei was not like this; her speed in mastering formations and runes was far inferior to his.

Some things required his explanation to be understood; if he did not explain clearly, Xiao Mei would need a lot of time to understand and comprehend.

This made Lin Moyu certain that whether the paths of runes and formations were related to the soul reaching an innate level had little impact.

The stronger the soul, the faster one would learn, but it would not affect the upper limit.

Just like Master Kurong, who was already at the Great Dao Realm and had the blessing of an innate soul, having studied for so many years, he still could not reach the level of a 7th-rank Formation Master.

Based on the ability Xiao Mei had currently displayed, Lin Moyu felt that becoming a 7th-rank Formation Master would not be a problem, but anything higher would be difficult.

Xiao Yue's situation was similar; the two had similar talents.

It was not to say that in such a situation, one did not need to learn formations.

Some people might think that since they could not reach the pinnacle of formations and runes anyway, why bother learning them.

In fact, that was not the case; stones from other hills could polish jade, and learning side paths could, at certain moments, have a positive impact on one's own cultivation path.

Therefore, Lin Moyu still wanted to pass the Dao of formations and runes to Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei also understood this principle and studied very seriously.

As Lin Moyu broke through to the Dao Venerable 4th Realm, he knew that his formation level had risen again.

As long as he had the right materials, setting up an 8th-rank formation would not be a problem.

He could barely be considered an 8th-rank Formation Master.

8th-rank Formation Masters were currently the most powerful Formation Masters on the Origin Continent, and there were very few of them.

As for 9th-rank Formation Masters, there were none at all on the Origin Continent.

The reason was simple: there were too few experts in the Great Dao Realm.

To become a 9th-rank Formation Master and set up a 9th-rank formation, the requirement was the Great Dao Realm.

This was something Lin Moyu had only recently understood.

Starting from 7th-rank formations, the requirement for cultivation to set up formations became higher and higher.

The Dao Venerable 4th Realm was the foundation for an 8th-rank Formation Master, and the 9th-rank required the Great Dao Realm even more.

Lin Moyu carefully taught Xiao Mei.

Whenever Xiao Mei had anything she did not understand, Lin Moyu would explain it to her one by one, with immense patience.

Xiao Mei sat on the cloud-piercing sword and asked in a crisp voice, "Teacher, is the person you placed in the Spirit-Turning Blessed Land your wife?"

Lin Moyu looked at this little girl who had mature memories and thoughts, and slightly shook his head. "No, we are comrades-in-arms."

Xiao Mei uttered an "Oh," then said, "Is that so? In that case, Teacher is still single?"

Lin Moyu smiled, and a look of nostalgia appeared in his eyes. "You have seven wives. The seventh wife has some connection with you. The relationship is quite complicated."

Xiao Mei immediately asked, "Where is it complicated?"

Lin Moyu said, "Her name is Saint Master Gu Hanyu, and she is the current Saint Master of the Hanshui Holy Land."

"Ah!" Xiao Mei showed a look of surprise.

She remembered that Lin Moyu had once asked if she knew Saint Master Gu Hanyu.

So Saint Master Gu Hanyu was actually her teacher's wife, and her previous self was Saint Master Gu Hanyu's ancestor.

Just listening to the name, she knew that Saint Master Gu Hanyu must be a direct descendant of her family.

After her surprise, the fire of gossip in Xiao Mei's eyes burned brightly. "This is too interesting! The Saint Master of the Hanshui Holy Land cannot marry an outsider, right? What does Teacher plan to do?"

Lin Moyu said, "If she is unwilling, then I can only snatch her. They cannot stop me."

Chapter 3323: Others Can Call You Mr. Lin, Why Can't I

If others heard this remark from Lin Moyu, they would inevitably think he was bragging.

The Hanshui Holy Land had stood on the land of the Southern Continent for countless years, yet someone dared to say they would snatch their Saint Master.

Let alone the Saint Master, even an ordinary disciple of the Hanshui Holy Land could not be touched by others.

What was a Holy Land? It was the hegemon of a region, the true master of that area.

Xiao Mei, however, was full of confidence, as if in her eyes, there was nothing Lin Moyu could not accomplish.

Even Master Kurong, who was at the Great Dao Realm, had been tormented until he was extremely wretched, and eventually left the Origin Continent in despair.

Did the Hanshui Holy Land have anyone at the Great Dao Realm? Let alone the Great Dao Realm, they might not even have anyone at the Pseudo-Great Dao Realm.

Xiao Mei waved her little fist, "Then Xiao Mei will help Teacher snatch her together."

Xiao Mei's previous life was, after all, an ancestor of the Hanshui Holy Land.

Now, helping an outsider to go to the Hanshui Holy Land to snatch someone, and snatching the Saint Master at that, was indeed strange.

Lin Moyu said, "Snatching is the worst strategy; if they are willing, that is the best."

Xiao Mei thought for a moment. "Actually, in the Holy Land, the Saint Master can marry, but generally, they do not marry outsiders."

"There is no clear regulation, but more of a customary rule. I remember that many years ago, when the Holy Land was not yet a Holy Land, there were Saint Masters who married outsiders."

"However, after it became a Holy Land, the Saint Master generally no longer married outsiders. Instead, the disciples in the sect would marry out for alliances."

"In the region controlled by the Hanshui Holy Land, disciples of the Hanshui Holy Land would occasionally marry out to other families for alliances."

"Over countless years, many families have had more or less connections with the Hanshui Holy Land."
