Silently, he neutralized the Chaos Qi brought forth by the Fifth Generation Palace Master. During this process, Lin Moyu showed absolutely no signs of becoming chaotic.

Yet, it appeared as though Lin Moyu was indeed making an effort to refine it, and the refining speed was quite fast.

A large amount of Chaos Qi was consumed, yet there was no change in Lin Moyu.

The Fifth Generation Palace Master asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, why is this?"

Lin Moyu shook his head. "I am not quite sure myself. No matter how I refine it, it is useless."

"How strange!" the Fifth Generation Palace Master muttered to himself.

He could not quite understand the situation before him. Lin Moyu thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be related to the fact that I am only at the Eternal level?"

The Fifth Generation Palace Master pondered this. Perhaps that was indeed the case; he could not find any other reason.

That was the only explanation. Lin Moyu said, "Then, Senior, please do not waste any more Chaos Qi."

"It is not that I cannot undergo chaotic transformation, but given my current strength, perhaps…"

"I can still be of help to you, Senior. Given the current circumstances, this is all we can do. You must be careful."

The Fifth Generation Palace Master retracted the Chaos Qi. Although the warning sounded well-intentioned, Lin Moyu heard the disappointment within it.

He might have been disappointed because he could not monitor him, but in reality, that was not the case; he still had ways to monitor him.

For instance, the due boat. However, he had just said that once the due boat entered another Tianxu Palace, he would lose his connection to it. Lin Moyu did not fully believe this.

Even regarding the Chaos Sword Grass that served as the transaction item, Lin Moyu had to weigh whether there would be any danger in using it.

Was it possible that if he were to become enemies with the Fifth Generation Palace Master, or if he lost his value, the Chaos Sword Grass would immediately turn against him?

Retracting the Chaos Qi, the Fifth Generation Palace Master waved his hand to open a passage. "You go first. Regardless of success or failure, I will remember this favor. If there is anything else, we can chat more when you return."

Lin Moyu stood up, bowed slightly to the Fifth Generation Palace Master, and entered the passage to leave.

After Lin Moyu left, a long sigh echoed through the starry sky. This sigh reverberated for ten million years without dissipating, and the entire starry sky surged with feelings of unwillingness.

The scene shifted slightly. Lin Moyu found himself in front of the Wushi Tianxu Palace. Little Python, the guardian beast of the gate, was staring at him with wide eyes. "Master! You have finally returned! Little Python was so worried!" Little Python shouted loudly.

Although it was a gate guardian beast, it could not enter the Tianxu Palace; the title of "divine beast" was merely for show.

Lin Moyu nodded and reflexively stored the Chaos Sword Grass into his storage space; this item would certainly be useful for the time being.

As long as he was not enemies with the Fifth Generation Palace Master, the Chaos Sword Grass would be his trump card. If he were to become enemies, it would be a deadly object.

Lin Moyu said, "Little Python, do you still want to continue being the gate guardian beast?"

Little Python immediately shook its large head. "Little Python wants to follow Master!"

Lin Moyu said, "Good. Then go inside and wait; I will let you out when we return."

Lin Moyu waved his hand and put Little Python away.

Having gone through cycles of reincarnation, Little Python, the gate guardian beast, actually had nothing to do with the Wushi Tianxu Palace anymore.

Furthermore, anyone could act as a gate guardian beast; whether one existed or not was unimportant. The Fifth Generation Palace Master would not have any objections to Lin Moyu taking Little Python away.

Lin Moyu was well aware that he still had utility value. The Fifth Generation Palace Master would not turn against him, but he still had to be prepared for how to handle it if that day ever came.

According to the map provided by the steward, Lin Moyu walked through the Tianxu Land, feeling the ancient nature of this land along the way. Soon, Lin Moyu arrived in front of the formation set up by the steward and activated it according to the method provided.

He did not enter immediately but stood in front of the formation to observe it carefully. The steward was not necessarily trustworthy, and this formation had already been tampered with by the Fifth Generation Palace Master. Heaven knows what kind of problems might be inside.

After a moment, the corners of Lin Moyu's mouth curled up slightly. "As expected, there is a problem…"

Chapter 4240: Refining the due boat

The Palace Master Wushi Tianxu had once used the steward to tamper with the steward's formation. The steward himself was unaware of this because his level of Divine Talismans completely surpassed that of the steward.

The two were simply not on the same level, and trying to deceive Lin Moyu was not that easy. It had to be said that the Fifth Generation Palace Master had been sufficiently covert.

However, Lin Moyu still found clues. In a very inconspicuous spot on this teleportation formation, there were several broken Divine Talismans.

These Divine Talismans were integrated into the formation, usually existing like scraps. They would only be revealed when the formation was activated, which is why Lin Moyu activated the formation first before searching.

According to his analysis, the purpose of this Divine Talisman was to leave a mark on the user of the teleportation formation. The mark was extremely inconspicuous but allowed the Fifth Generation Palace Master to monitor them. For so many years, almost every move of the steward had been under the surveillance of the Fifth Generation Palace Master.

The Fifth Generation Palace Master must have had deeper intentions for doing so. Lin Moyu did not attempt to destroy the Divine Talisman left by the Fifth Generation Palace Master.

If he destroyed it, the Fifth Generation Palace Master would inevitably sense it. Lin Moyu took out a blank jade tablet. There was nothing inside the tablet, so he simply refined it with his Soul Fire, turning the jade tablet into a decent formation disk.

He casually drew a simple formation on the formation disk, then held the jade tablet and entered the teleportation formation, heading toward the Fourth Generation Tianxu Palace.

The formation activated with a series of roars, opening a spatial passage amidst the Great Dao. The teleportation began, and the world within his line of sight began to turn into streaks of light, spinning rapidly.

The Divine Talisman left behind by the Fifth Generation Palace Master was also activated along with the formation. It blended into the streaks of light, appearing incredibly hidden, and burrowed toward Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu activated the formation disk. An inconspicuous formation operated, sucking in the mark left by the Fifth Generation Palace Master.

The Fifth Generation Palace Master would believe that his Divine Talisman had been activated and had successfully attached itself to someone. Who else would be in the teleportation formation besides Lin Moyu? Therefore, he would not suspect a thing.

The teleportation ended, and Lin Moyu had arrived in front of the gate of the Fourth Generation Tianxu Palace.

He did not put the formation disk away but hung it at his waist, appearing as if he knew nothing.

Lin Moyu examined the Fourth Generation Tianxu Palace. The patterns on the gate were somewhat different from those in the Wushi Tianxu Domain. Lin Moyu had basically never seen the creatures depicted in the patterns. These were all creatures from the Fourth-World Domain; the creatures in every Domain were completely different, so it was normal that he had not seen them.

However, some information could be analyzed from the characteristics of the creatures in the Domain. The characteristic of the Five-World Domain was that it had a complete Great Dao, which led to the existence of all kinds of creatures, with none being considered stronger than others.

The creature patterns on the gate of the Fourth Generation Tianxu Palace and the palace walls on both sides were basically dominated by aquatic creatures. Moreover, from these patterns, Lin Moyu sensed a rich aura of the Water Dao. Was the Fourth-World Domain a Domain evolved from the Water Dao?

No, that was not right. A single Water Dao could not constitute an entire Domain; it could only be said that the Water Dao accounted for a certain proportion within it.

The Fifth Generation had risen, and the Fourth Generation was extinct. The moment the Wushi Tianxu Palace appeared, the Fourth Generation Tianxu Palace should have fallen into silence. Judging by this, there should be no creatures inside.

Lin Moyu walked to the gate and tried to push it open, but the gate was tightly closed and could not be moved at all. Even with all his strength, it remained the same. To push open this gate, he had to solve the mystery within it.

But where was the mystery, and how was he to solve it? There were no Divine Talismans here, no formations. For a moment, Lin Moyu could not find a way.

The Fourth-World Domain had its own rules, and its rules originated from the thoughts of the Fourth Generation Palace Master, which were completely different from the Five-World Domain. If he searched carefully, he would eventually find it, but that would waste a lot of time.

He did not want to waste that much time. Moreover, the Fourth-World Domain had already passed; apart from history, things on the level of the Great Dao were of no use to the current era, nor were they worth the descendants inheriting or learning. Lin Moyu straightforwardly took out the due boat. "Then, I will just use the due boat to crash in."

The due boat had been initially refined. With a thought, Lin Moyu entered it. On the deck, various Dao Master Realm creatures were working. These creatures were both illusory and real, coming from different regions.

They had lost their self-consciousness, and everything was dictated by the due boat. Once a creature lost its consciousness, it was equivalent to a walking corpse. In Lin Moyu's view, it was better to be dead.

Lin Moyu felt that he could already control these creatures and could command them to do anything, even having them rush out of the due boat to fight for him would not be a problem. However, there was no need for that; they were only Dao Masters with limited power, and Lin Moyu did not look upon them at all.

The initially refined due boat was already enough for Lin Moyu to move freely on the deck. As for wanting to go inside the boat, it required further refinement, and he could not yet manipulate the due boat.

His soul power surged out and flowed into the due boat to conduct deeper refinement. As his soul power flowed, Lin Moyu saw the general structure of the due boat's interior and understood the function of each area.

The due boat was divided into three areas: outer, inner, and central. The outer area was the deck of the boat. This area could control a person's soul, Purify other people's consciousness, and make them slaves of the due boat.

It could also directly obliterate a cultivator's soul, but the specific level of cultivator that could be obliterated or controlled depended on the strength of the due boat's operator.

For example, when Emperor Kunlun previously operated the due boat, Emperor Kunlun was considered the weakest Half-Step Chaos, barely exceeding the Eternal level and crossing the Dao Master Realm. Under his manipulation, the due boat could deal with Dao Masters, control Dao Masters to make them boat slaves, or directly obliterate Dao Masters.

If it faced a Lord of the Great Dao, it would be powerless. It could deal with enemies one major realm lower; this function was a bit chicken ribs. If they were one major realm lower, he could easily obliterate a large group by himself, so why bother manipulating the due boat to attack? This ability was indeed impractical.

On the contrary, obliterating the soul to make them a boat slave was a slightly better function, but Lin Moyu did not look upon it either. He had Undead Servants; were they not more useful than boat slaves?

The due boat was not a weapon for killing enemies, after all, and its true capability did not lie there. The inner area was the zone where the due boat's manager operated, which was exactly the area Lin Moyu had reached before, including the location of that statue; all belonged to this area.

As long as he refined this area, he could become the manager of the due boat and could freely manipulate it. There was also a central area, which was the zone that only the master of the due boat could enter. Lin Moyu did not know what specific use it had.

He had not yet refined it. Now that he had refined the outer area, he was in the process of refining the inner area. The refining speed was getting slower and slower, and the difficulty was getting higher and higher. During this process, Lin Moyu had already understood.

Back then, Emperor Kunlun had only refined the inner area, and the same went for the Palace Master Wushi Tianxu. They had both failed to truly become the master of the due boat, only becoming the manager and operator of the due boat.

The due boat existed earlier than the Wushi Tianxu Palace; clearly, the person who refined it was even more ancient.

Dozens of days later, Lin Moyu finally finished refining the inner area, becoming the new manager and operator. When he wanted to refine the central area, his soul power was shut out, so Lin Moyu immediately withdrew his hand.

The central area made him feel danger. If he forced the refinement, he feared there would be bad results. "Enough, I will use it as is for now." With a thought,

Chapter 4241: Sole Operator

The due boat erupted with brilliant light, illuminating the gate of the Fourth Generation Tianxu Palace. The due boat flew slowly toward the gate of the Fourth Generation Tianxu Palace. Its speed was not fast, and it did not appear to have any earth-shattering power erupting. Just as the hull was about to touch the gate,
