Seeing that his granddaughter had brought out her trump card, Dao Venerable Gu Nianhai immediately retreated.
He looked at his precious granddaughter with a half-smile, "Fine, fine, fine, let's not mention this matter. Then how do you plan to deal with Lin Moyu? All things considered, you've suffered a huge loss."
Gu Nianshui gave a soft hum, "Of course I can't let it go, but that is my own business, Grandfather, please don't interfere."
"Also, you are not allowed to use the power of the Holy Land to deal with him. I have made a soul oath."
Dao Venerable Gu Nianhai laughed, "Fine, fine, fine, Grandfather won't deal with him; I'll let Nianshui handle it herself."
After leaving Linhai City, Lin Moyu unfurled his Wings of the Undead, sparing no soul power to push his speed to the limit.
Although he had made Gu Nianshui swear a soul oath, heaven knows if the Holy Land had methods to bypass a soul oath.
Lin Moyu never dared to underestimate a Holy Land; what he could do, the Holy Land might also be able to do.
If Dao Venerable Gu Nianhai were to pursue him afterwards, facing a Dao Venerable, he might find himself in danger.
Lin Moyu moved at his maximum speed, changing directions several times and concealing his trail, only feeling truly relieved after confirming that no one was pursuing him.
The sphere of influence of Linhai City spanned over ten thousand li, and there were several small sects nearby.
A few of these sects belonged to two-star factions.
Most of the sects didn't even count as one-star factions because they lacked an origin spirit vein.
On the Origin Continent, without an origin spirit vein, one had no qualification to be rated as a star-level faction.
These self-proclaimed sects were actually just a few villages joined together; the cultivators within were very weak, perhaps having only one or two Supremes.
The significance of their existence was less like a sect and more like a school, providing enlightenment education for the younger generation of their villages.
If one day, a genius could emerge from the village, perhaps it could allow the entire village to prosper.
Ten thousand li northwest of Linhai City, there was another city named Guanhai City.
Guanhai City and Linhai City were separated by ten thousand li and had experienced many frictions in the past.
Between the two cities was a small mountain range called the Ruhai Mountain Range.
A small origin spirit vein had once been discovered in the mountain range, and the factions of the two cities had once erupted into conflict over this small spirit vein.
At that time, Linhai City was still presided over by the Feng Family, whose strength was significantly greater than the Lan Family; the family alone had four High-level Heavenly Venerables, and in addition, a Peak Heavenly Venerable.
In the end, the Feng Family won, taking control of the origin spirit vein, and thus Guanhai City and Linhai City formed a grudge.
The Feng Family wanted to use this origin spirit vein to promote themselves to a four-star faction, but a hundred years ago, the Feng Family suddenly and mysteriously went extinct.
With the Feng Family gone, Linhai City was left leaderless, and even the strongest Lan Family could not compete with Guanhai City.
It wasn't just Guanhai City; several other factions also wanted to make a move on Linhai City.
Without the Feng Family, Linhai City was a big, delicious piece of meat!
The Lan Family was smart and immediately reported the mysterious extinction of the Feng Family to the Hanshui Holy Land.
The Hanshui Holy Land sent people to investigate the mysterious extinction of the Feng Family.
The results of the investigation remained unknown to everyone, and the Hanshui Holy Land ultimately appointed the Lan Family as the lords of Linhai City.
It was precisely because of this that the several factions that had been about to make a move on Linhai City all backed down.
In this region, the Hanshui Holy Land was like an emperor.
No one dared to disobey their orders, unless they were tired of living.
In this way, the Lan Family gained a chance to breathe.
With the resource supply from Linhai City, as long as the Lan Family was given enough time, they would be able to grow.
After a thousand or a hundred years, when a few High-level Heavenly Venerables appeared in the family, their position would be completely secure.
Having resources or not made a huge difference.
After changing directions several times, Lin Moyu arrived at Guanhai City.
Unlike Linhai City, there were no rosy clouds in Guanhai City to welcome those entering the city.
The entire city exuded an aura of ancient vastness, possessing a sense of weightiness.
Although Linhai City also had a similar feeling, it was far inferior to Guanhai City.
From this, it could be judged that the history of Guanhai City should be significantly longer than that of Linhai City.
Besides this, the scale of Guanhai City was also larger than Linhai City, almost one and a half times the size of Linhai City.
Above Guanhai City, a formation shrouded the city, and teams patrolled day and night.
No matter where an incident occurred in the city, they would arrive immediately to maintain order within the city.
Lin Moyu came to the largest restaurant in Guanhai City, ordered a few dishes, asked for a pot of wine, and ate slowly.
While appearing to eat and drink, he was simultaneously gathering information.
There were many people in the restaurant, and from their mouths, a large amount of information could be obtained.
Suddenly, the entire city rumbled incessantly, a huge formation appeared in the sky, and a massive team flew over from above, flying towards the distance.
There were many experts in this team, with the number of Heavenly Venerables exceeding twenty.
Among them, in the very front, were three High-level Heavenly Venerables.
The huge commotion immediately sparked discussion among the crowd.
"Goodness, it's the Huang Family's team; the ones leading the team are three High-level Heavenly Venerables from the Huang Family."
"The Huang Family has mobilized a large force; looking at the direction, they must be heading to Linhai City."
"Just received news, the Holy Land has brought down punishment; the Lan Family of Linhai City has been wiped out, and at this moment, Linhai City has become a city without an owner."
"I understand, the Huang Family wants to seize this opportunity to occupy Linhai City."
"A hundred years ago, if not for the Holy Land's appointment, Linhai City should have been the property of the Huang Family. With the Lan Family's strength, they were simply unworthy of being the lords of Linhai City, occupying an origin spirit vein for nothing."
"That's hard to say; the surrounding factions are all watching. If the Huang Family wants to become the new masters of Linhai City, they will need to go through a struggle."
Listening, Lin Moyu finally understood what had happened.
The Huang Family of Guanhai City was the most powerful family in Guanhai City and also the masters of Guanhai City.
The one that had competed with the Feng Family of Linhai City for the origin spirit vein back then was the Huang Family.
Unfortunately, the Feng Family was more prosperous than the Huang Family back then, so the Huang Family did not gain any advantage.
Later, the Feng Family went extinct, and the Holy Land appointed the Lan Family as the new masters of Linhai City. They dared not disobey the Holy Land's orders, so they had never made a move on Linhai City.
At this moment, the experts of the Lan Family in Linhai City were all dead; they no longer had the qualifications to be the lords of Linhai City, and at the same time, the Hanshui Holy Land had not appointed new masters.
The Huang Family finally seized the opportunity, sending troops to Linhai City, intending to take Linhai City in one fell swoop.
According to the rules of the Origin Continent, in this situation, whoever could occupy Linhai City would become the new master of Linhai City.
There was also an origin spirit vein under Linhai City; if successful, the Huang Family would be able to possess more origin spirit veins, more resources, and it would also mean their luck was strong.
By then, it was highly likely that a Dao Venerable would appear in the Huang Family, allowing them to become a four-star faction in one go.
The Huang Family had been at the peak of a three-star faction for a long time; they were just one Dao Venerable away from being promoted to a four-star faction.
But the Huang Family was not guaranteed success either; within a radius of ten thousand li around Linhai City, besides the Huang Family of Guanhai City, there were two other factions watching.
Their situation was similar to the Huang Family; they all wanted to obtain the origin spirit vein of Linhai City.
Next, with Linhai City as the center, a fierce battle would be staged.
Perhaps, Linhai City would be smashed to pieces, with countless casualties.
Those factions only wanted the origin spirit vein; what Linhai City looked like, or whether the people inside lived or died, was not important to them.
The actions of the Hanshui Holy Land made Lin Moyu deeply understand the laws of survival on the Origin Continent.
Small families like the Lan Family were nothing in front of behemoths like the Holy Land.
If not for the fact that Lan Tianyu had done something too excessive, the Hanshui Holy Land would not have done anything to the Lan Family, at most killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
If Lan Tianyu hadn't gone missing, it was estimated that the Lan Family would also have been fine, at most heavily punished, with two Heavenly Venerables dying, and it would have passed; at least there would not have been the disaster of extermination.
But it just so happened that Lan Tianyu went missing, which was like slapping the Hanshui Holy Land directly in the face.
Everyone was watching how the Hanshui Holy Land would handle it and how they would regain face.
So the Hanshui Holy Land used the most direct method: wiping out the Lan Family.
While wiping out the Lan Family, they unexpectedly obtained the inheritance of Star Lord Jiaojiao.
The Lan Family was guilty of harboring a treasure, seeking their own death.
Their luck and strength were simply not enough to awaken the inheritance of Star Lord Jiaojiao, and the Hanshui Holy Land would not allow them to obtain the Star Lord's inheritance.
Every generation of Star Lord was powerful, and the Hanshui Holy Land would not allow a faction that was out of their control to appear within their territory.
Thus, the Lan Family was wiped out.
"The news that the Hanshui Holy Land obtained the inheritance of Star Lord Jiaojiao has not been spread."
"Very few people know this news. The people of the Hanshui Holy Land won't say it themselves, and as long as I don't say it, and Miao Wen and Lian Cheng don't say it, then no one will know."
"I believe that since Miao Wen and Lian Cheng are both smart people, they won't speak recklessly."
"Star Lord Jiaojiao presided over killing; every time he appeared, it would trigger murderous intent. It seems this is truly the case."
"The Lan Family's luck was insufficient to bear this murderous intent, leading to the disaster of death and extermination."
"Now it's Linhai City's turn; it's estimated that many people will die there too."
"I don't know if Gu Nianshui will slaughter the world after becoming a Star Lord."
Lin Moyu pondered in his heart; the theory of luck was not ethereal, but a real existence.
For a faction, those with weak luck would inevitably encounter great disasters.
Unfortunately, not many people could sense luck.
Even Lin Moyu could not clearly sense luck; at most, he could see the individual luck of living beings through the Luck Explosion Technique.
And luck only concerned the individual; Fate/Luck (Qi) was a further step, concerning the entire faction or sect, and even the entire race.
If a faction's luck was strong enough, even if an unlucky person entered, their luck would be enhanced, turning them into a lucky person.
This was the wonderful use of luck: suppressing a region.
The luck of every Holy Land must be extremely strong, and Gu Nianshui's luck must certainly not be bad; she would definitely be able to bear the Star Lord's inheritance.
As for the likes of the Lan Family, they were simply courting death.
Lin Moyu saw much deeper than ordinary people, peeling back the layers to find the correct answer.
"If one wants to truly gain a foothold on the Origin Continent, besides one's own strength, one must also have an origin spirit vein."
"Besides this, one also needs sufficiently strong luck."
"Mist has comprehended the Law of Luck, which can gather luck and enhance luck. It seems it is time to let Mist come over."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Moyu paid and left the restaurant, and also left Guanhai City.
Lin Moyu headed southwest, getting further and further away from Guanhai City and Linhai City, until he reached a place where he could hear the sound of ocean waves.
Perhaps because he came from the Boundary Sea World, Lin Moyu had a special feeling for the Boundary Sea. Feeling the aura of the Boundary Sea, Lin Moyu felt more at ease.
The Eye of the Undead swept across, and he chose a cliff without any living beings.
The Rule World opened, and Lin Moyu called Mist and Xiao Yue out.
Stepping onto the land of the Origin Continent, a strong wind swept over, and countless auras belonging to the Origin Continent automatically injected into Mist's body; the Origin Continent wanted to leave a mark on Mist.
The Great World began in the Primordial World and grew in the Boundary Sea; its laws and rules all came from the Great Dao of the Origin Continent.
Therefore, as long as they were living beings from the Great World, they could be recognized by the Origin Continent.
However, many techniques needed to fuse with origin crystals from the Origin Continent in order to adapt.
"Wow, is this the Origin Continent?"
Mist did not have the steadiness that a Heavenly Venerable should have at all; she was still like a child.
Xiao Yue, who was on the side, looked much steadier than Mist.
Mist came to the Origin Continent for the first time and felt curious, actually forgetting to hang onto Lin Moyu.
