Lin Moyu said, “The outer area naturally won’t be an issue, but the outer area is useless. We definitely need to go into the inner area, and they just aren’t up to the task.”

"Moreover, with them around, it's not easy for me to let loose. I can't exactly kill them all, can I? What if someone kills Sister Feng Yao?"

Third Ancestor fell silent again. He knew a portion of Lin Moyu's strength.

If Lin Moyu truly intended to kill, these geniuses might not really be able to stop him.

Furthermore, he didn't doubt in the slightest that Lin Moyu would kill; the killing intent on Lin Moyu was not something an ordinary killer could possess.

Even Star Lord Jiaojiao, who mastered the Soul Dao, didn't have killing intent as strong as Lin Moyu's.

In the eyes of Third Ancestor, Lin Moyu was an out-and-out killing star.

Lin Moyu continued, "If I go in alone, it will be freer and more flexible. Sister Feng Yao and the others won't need to bear any risks, and you won't need to worry either."

"Besides, I can swear a Dao oath that if I obtain the remains of other seniors or other items inside, I will bring them back intact and never keep them for myself."

"Actually, you know as well as I do that I don't even have my eye on those things!"

Third Ancestor said, "It's useless for me to know; others won't think so."

Lin Moyu said, "I'm just making a suggestion. As for whether you agree or not, it doesn't matter to me. I'll just treat it as a trip to the Secret Realm to see the scenery and relax."

The implication of these words was: I can choose not to put in any effort, and I won't lose anything anyway.

How could Third Ancestor not understand? "If Feng Yao knew you had this mindset, she would be heartbroken."

Lin Moyu replied, "If it weren't for Sister Feng Yao, I wouldn't even bother going. Do you really think the Star Wind Secret Realm is such a great place?"

"Yes or no, give me a straight answer!"

Third Ancestor said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Aren't you just eyeing some things inside the Star Wind Secret Realm?"

Lin Moyu said, "No, you underestimate me. I am indeed interested in the things inside the Star Wind Secret Realm. After all, those are things that even you ancestors are interested in."

Third Ancestor said, "Fine, I can agree to your request, but I also have one condition: you must let us know what you obtain inside."

"If it's something useful to us, we can pay to purchase it. Of course, you set the price, but you cannot set an exorbitant one!"

Lin Moyu laughed, "Alright, no problem."

He would set the price, Third Ancestor would counter, and the final result would be acceptable to both—this was a win-win situation.

The beam of light vanished, and Lin Moyu walked back to the pavilion.

Lu Fengyao asked, "What did you say to Third Ancestor?"

Lin Moyu laughed, "You'll know in a moment, no rush, no rush."

He smiled mysteriously and slowly sipped his spiritual tea, while also sighing, "After saying so much, my throat is dry. The spiritual tea from Ancient Lotus Holy Land is indeed good. If there's a chance in the future, I must go to Ancient Lotus Holy Land to ask for some tea leaves."

Saintess Xianlian smiled, "Fellow Daoist Lin is welcome to visit at any time."

The group waited for a few seconds in confusion. Suddenly, Lu Lian's voice rang in their ears, "The teleportation formation is about to activate. Please do not resist."

Amidst the reminder, the origin spirit vein surged with a massive amount of origin aura, enveloping them. The group only felt an invisible force land upon them.

Since Lu Lian had warned them beforehand, everyone did not resist.

Their vision blurred, and the origin spirit vein teleported them away.

The range of the origin spirit vein controlled by the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce was extremely vast, spreading for tens of millions of miles; Shang City was only an insignificant part of it.

This teleportation lasted for ten seconds; the distance was not short.

When their vision recovered, everyone found themselves in a wilderness.

Here, the green grass stretched far into the distance, boundless and endless.

Lin Moyu could feel that the Power of Origin here was already quite weak; clearly, they had reached the edge of the origin spirit vein.

"Just as I thought, Third Ancestor has indeed completely refined this origin spirit vein."

If it hadn't been completely refined, it would be impossible to teleport them to this place.

A shadow appeared in the sky, and a giant flying ship hovered above their heads.

"Come up!" A deep, majestic voice rang out.

Everyone recognized this voice; the person who arrived was actually Xiahou Yuan.

Upon entering the flying ship, they indeed saw Xiahou Yuan standing at the bow.

Once everyone was gathered, he didn't say a word, only lightly stomped his foot.

The flying ship immediately turned into a stream of light and shot toward the distance.

Huge and terrifying power swirled around the flying ship. Xiahou Yuan stood at the bow, looking into the distance.

Several geniuses seemed to fear Xiahou Yuan, so they didn't get too close and stood honestly in place.

Only Lin Moyu was completely fearless, coming to Xiahou Yuan's side, "Senior Xiahou, long time no see."

Xiahou Yuan nodded slightly, "Your performance in the God-Slaughtering Sect was quite stunning!"

Lin Moyu said, "This junior was just lucky."

Xiahou Yuan said, "No need to be humble. Strong is strong. It is also because of what you obtained in the God-Slaughtering Sect that I have hope of breaking through that realm."

"I hope you can also have gains in this Star Wind Secret Realm."

"If those old fellows have any objections, you don't need to be afraid. I've got your back!"

Xiahou Yuan spoke straightforwardly. Lin Moyu knew he and Third Ancestor were likely on the same side, and he looked down upon the ancestors of the several sects and holy lands.

Third Ancestor was a businessman who liked win-win situations and generally wouldn't be so overbearing.

But Xiahou Yuan was not like that. Having cultivated the Soul Dao, he acted only according to his own heart—he did what he thought.

Lin Moyu smiled, "With those words from you, Senior, this junior is at ease. Ancestor Gu Cang, Fire Lotus Ancestor, and Ancestor Wuding are not here this time. I wonder who is coming?"

Xiahou Yuan said, "Those old fellows… they received the news and rushed over as fast as they could."

Lin Moyu said, "Third Ancestor has already mentioned my matter, right?"

Xiahou Yuan said, "He has. Your idea is very correct. One useful person is enough; having more useless ones is pointless and only causes trouble."

Lin Moyu's mouth twitched. You are being too direct, and you aren't even avoiding anyone. You should at least consider other people's feelings a little.

Given Xiahou Yuan's status and position, he truly didn't need to consider others' feelings; he said whatever he wanted.

Not to mention that he was only facing some geniuses; even when facing ancestors like Gu Cang, he said whatever was on his mind.

His style was basically: if you don't agree, let's fight!

Lu Fengyao and the others were a bit confused at this moment.

Especially Lu Fengyao, as this process was not quite the same as what she knew.

Normally, she should have told them about the Star Wind Secret Realm, and then either Gu Bichuan or Saintess Caixia would have had to give up their spot to Lin Moyu.

Finally, she would take those who were to enter the Secret Realm to the location.

But after Lin Moyu finished talking with Third Ancestor, the situation changed.

Even the spots hadn't been decided, yet they were already heading directly to the Secret Realm's location.

Watching Lin Moyu, who was conversing with Xiahou Yuan, Lu Fengyao gritted her teeth, "What on earth did this guy say to Grandpa Third Ancestor?"

The flying ship traversed the vast grassland at an astonishing speed, and a lake appeared in their line of sight.

The lake was huge, boundless at a glance, like an ocean.

The flying ship flew directly toward the lake, crashing into it and kicking up boundless giant waves.

The flying ship was shrouded in a faint light, traveling rapidly through the lake water without slowing down at all.

There were countless fish and beasts in the lake, all of which were startled and fled in all directions.

The lake was very deep, over ten thousand meters. The flying ship rushed to the bottom of the lake at an astonishing speed, then crashed through again.

There was no impact as imagined; the flying ship seemed to pass through a thin film and arrived in another world.

An independent space, artificially arranged at the bottom of the lake.

The space was not small, and several people were already standing there.

Xiahou Yuan put away the flying ship and said in a low voice, "We've arrived."

Lin Moyu took a look and saw two ancestor-level figures. They were shrouded in black energy, in a special self-sealed state, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.

Third Ancestor was not here, but whether Third Ancestor was here or not was not important; as long as Xiahou Yuan was here, that was enough.

At this moment, Xiahou Yuan was the spokesperson for Third Ancestor, and Lin Moyu knew that Third Ancestor must have a way to know every detail of what happened here. If anything happened, he would naturally come.

Xiahou Yuan said very casually, "These two old fellows: Wang Hong from the Wen Dao Sect, and Wujian from the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Everyone immediately bowed, "This junior greets the ancestors."

Ancestor Wang Hong waved his hand, "No need for formalities."

Ancestor Wujian only snorted lightly and didn't say anything.

Xiahou Yuan said, "You two have already received the message from Third Ancestor, right? What do you say?"

Ancestor Wang Hong said, "As long as he takes the Dao oath, I have no objections on my side."

Ancestor Wujian also said in a low voice, "I trust Third Ancestor."

Xiahou Yuan nodded, "Since that's the case, let's do it this way."

Saying this, he took out a Dao Stone and said to Lin Moyu, "Come over and take the oath."

Lin Moyu went over and communicated with the Dao Stone with his soul, "I, Lin Moyu, swear by the Great Dao: anything obtained within the Star Wind Secret Realm will not be kept for myself. If I violate this oath, I shall surely perish and my Dao shall be destroyed."

The Dao Stone flashed, followed by a sound of thunder, confirming that the Dao oath had been established. Ancestor Wang Hong looked at Lin Moyu, "You are Lin Moyu?"

His tone held a hint of oddity.

Lin Moyu's heart sank, and he secretly became vigilant.

Ancestor Wang Hong was an ancestor of the Wen Dao Sect, and he had had many conflicts with the Wen Dao Sect.

If this guy wanted to harm him, it would indeed be tricky.

Xiahou Yuan snorted coldly, "Fellow Daoist Wang Hong, let the juniors resolve the matters of the juniors. Let us old fellows not interfere."

Ancestor Wang Hong let out a low laugh, "I naturally won't interfere in the matters of the juniors, I was just a bit curious."

"As expected of a young talent, a High-level Heavenly Venerable under three thousand years old; I see that you are not far from becoming a Dao Venerable."

"If you can become a Dao Venerable before three thousand years old, your future achievements…"

Lin Moyu smiled, "Many young talents eventually become mediocre, while some people who were initially looked down upon or were not very outstanding end up walking to the very end…"

Wang Hong laughed, "Then, Young Friend Lin, what kind of person do you think you will be?"

Lin Moyu shook his head, "The future is unknown, and this junior cannot say for sure."

Wang Hong gave two dry laughs and didn't speak again.

Lin Moyu remained vigilant. Although he said he wouldn't interfere in the juniors' matters, in fact, who knew? That was just empty talk.

Xiahou Yuan said to Lu Fengyao, "Feng Yao girl, take out the key and open the Secret Realm."

Lu Fengyao was still in a daze at this moment. Hearing Xiahou Yuan's words, she instinctively took out the key to open the Secret Realm.

The key was a piece of jade embedded with runes, extremely exquisite.

The jade automatically left Lu Fengyao's palm and shone in mid-air. The light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating more than half of the space.

Then, it shot a beam of light that landed in the darkness ahead.

A gateway immediately appeared in the darkness. The gateway was pitch black, like a beast's maw.

A gust of wind blew from the gateway, carrying a faint smell of blood.

Xiahou Yuan said to Lin Moyu, "Be careful in everything. If it doesn't work, just retreat."

Lin Moyu nodded slightly and walked toward the Star Wind Secret Realm.

Seeing this, Lu Fengyao immediately asked, "Grandpa Xiahou, what is going on?"

Xiahou Yuan said, "Young Friend Lin has discussed it with Third Ancestor. This trip to the Star Wind Secret Realm will be undertaken by him alone."
