“So this is another world, though it seems it’s not quite that simple, and it’s not exactly the same either. This is interesting. Fellow Daoist Lin, please introduce this place.”

Great Venerable Jin looked at Lin Moyu with a smile. As someone who had lived for countless years, there were few things left that could pique his interest. Being able to come to this legendary place, Great Venerable Jin's mood seemed to have become quite pleasant.

Lin Moyu said, "This is the Wall of Heaven and Earth. To be precise, it should be the outer periphery of the Wall of Heaven and Earth."

He pointed into the distance. "Do you see those treasures? That is the interior of the Wall of Heaven and Earth, but it is impassable."

Great Venerable Jin asked, "Impassable?" Lin Moyu smiled and said, "You may try it; there will be no danger."

Great Venerable Jin gave a grunt of acknowledgment, waved his hand, and a swarm of insects flew out.

Not long after, these insects collided one after another against an invisible wall, unable to advance even half a step. Lin Moyu said, "There is an invisible wall here."

"It blocks the way forward. I cannot open this wall, so I can only gaze at the treasures and sigh."

Naturally, he could not tell the whole truth. By speaking half-truths, he made it difficult for others to distinguish reality from falsehood. Great Venerable of the North Pole said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Lin, do you not know how to open this wall either?"

Lin Moyu shook his head. "I do not know. Back then, I was fortunate enough to obtain the key, but it could only open the outer gate. You seniors may try; perhaps you can find a way to break through the wall."

After a brief moment of thought, Great Venerable of the North Pole and the others went over to try. Lin Moyu paid them no mind.

This was a barrier that even a Supreme Expert could not break; how could they possibly break it? Venerable Wine did not move.

He believed Lin Moyu's words. Since Lin Moyu had already tried, there was no need for him to try again.

Although Great Venerable Jin did not move either, he had already dispatched countless insects, scattering them in all directions to explore.

However, in the end, there would be no results. Great Venerable Jin seemed to understand this point as well. "Besides the visible yet untouchable treasures here, is there anything else?" Lin Moyu said, "Naturally there is. Please come with me."

Without hiding anything, Lin Moyu led Great Venerable Jin directly to the only remaining spatial passage. The spatial passage rebuilt by Little Tree still existed and remained in perfect condition. Great Venerable Jin asked, "Where does this spatial passage lead?"

Lin Moyu said, "It leads to another world, or to be precise, the wreckage of a world."

"The wreckage of a world?" Great Venerable Jin was slightly stunned, clearly not understanding. He was indeed a Great Venerable, but he did not know that one could reach another world from this one. Lin Moyu explained, "The Chaos Ancient Wilderness is one world."

"Besides the Chaos Ancient Wilderness, there are other worlds in existence. This passage leads to one, but the other end is very dangerous. I almost died there last time and only escaped because of good luck." However, the place he entered last time was a different world.

Although it was dangerous, it was not to the point of death. Lin Moyu continued to speak in half-truths. The end of the passage before them was an obviously dangerous world, which was indeed true. By mixing truth and falsehood, he deceived everyone present. "The passage, are there any others?" Great Venerable Jin looked at the spatial passage.

He was clearly tempted, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he asked, "Besides this spatial passage…" Lin Moyu nodded. "There should have been many, but for some reason, those spatial passages have all collapsed. Only this one remains relatively intact."

While speaking, Great Venerable Jin threw out another swarm of insects. These insects clearly possessed spatial abilities. After some sensing, Great Venerable Jin said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Lin is right. There were indeed many spatial passages here, but they have all collapsed."

"These spatial passages collapsed a long time ago, likely hundreds of thousands of years ago." Lin Moyu took the opportunity to ask, "Then, Senior, do you have a way to repair these spatial passages?"

The insect race had countless varieties; perhaps there was some strange insect that could repair spatial passages. It was not impossible. Great Venerable Jin said, "I will try." He also had an extremely strong interest in these spatial passages.

If he could repair them, that would be an even more interesting matter. Various insects with spatial abilities were dispatched by him to attempt to repair the spatial passages. Unfortunately, these spatial passages had been broken for too long.

Great Venerable Jin tried every method but could not repair them. In the end, he could only heave a long sigh. "No way, too much time has passed; they cannot be repaired." Lin Moyu had long anticipated this result.

If they could be repaired, Little Tree would have done it long ago. He did not think Great Venerable Jin could surpass Little Tree in terms of spatial abilities. At this time, the Great Venerable of the North Pole and the other two also retreated.

After trying, they determined that they could not break this invisible high wall. The treasures within the high wall could only be seen but not touched, and this feeling was very uncomfortable.

These treasures were of a very high level. They even had a feeling that if they could obtain these treasures, perhaps their strength could advance further. Lin Moyu said, "Last time, I almost died inside. This time, my cultivation has increased."

"I want to try again, but this will be my last attempt. What do you all intend to do?" The Great Venerable of the North Pole glanced at the gate that had already closed again. "If we do not want to go in, how are we to leave?" Lin Moyu said, "Before I tell you the method of leaving…"

"I have a request that I hope you all can agree to." The group frowned. They did not expect Lin Moyu to make a request at this time. But if Lin Moyu did not speak, they were very likely to be trapped here, and it seemed they had no choice but to agree.

Lin Moyu said, "I require you all to swear by your Dao Heart that if I do not take the initiative to attack you, you are not allowed to attack me. This includes your subordinates; none are allowed to attack me. If this oath is violated…"

"…then your Dao Heart will be damaged, and your cultivation realm will fall." This oath was both heavy and light. As long as they did not attack Lin Moyu and kept their subordinates in check, ensuring they did not attack Lin Moyu…

…this oath would be the same as not having one. But upon reflection, the Great Tribulation was currently at hand. Lin Moyu was the public enemy of the world. If this oath were sworn, it would mean cutting off their own path to slaying Lin Moyu to verify their Dao.

This oath seemed light, but it was actually very heavy. The faces of the Great Venerable of the North Pole and the other two looked quite unpleasant. Great Venerable Jin, on the other hand, appeared indifferent. Venerable Wine, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up and swore the oath on the spot.

He would absolutely not be an enemy of Lin Moyu. He had no intention of attacking Lin Moyu in the first place, and he had no subordinates. This oath had no effect on him. With him setting an example, Great Venerable Jin also chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin has done me a favor."

"I have always been clear about gratitude and grudges; how could I possibly attack Fellow Daoist Lin?" Following this, he also swore the oath. Swearing by one's Dao Heart was more effective than any other kind of oath. The Great Venerable of the North Pole and the other two could only swear the oath in the end; they did not want to be trapped here. At this moment…

…they were already somewhat regretting coming in. This emotion was reflected in their eyes. Lin Moyu found it amusing to watch. "It was you yourselves who wanted to come in; I did not force you." After the few of them had finished swearing the oath…

…Lin Moyu smiled indifferently. "That gate opens outward, not inward. If you all wish to leave, you can just pass through this gate."

Chapter 4688: The Six Worlds of the Past. It was actually this simple? The Great Venerable of the North Pole and the other two felt as if they had been deceived. Since it was this simple…

…why did they have to swear an oath? Even without the oath, they could have found a way out by exploring a bit. Just like that, they had cut off their own possibility of moving forward. They suddenly realized that they seemed to have been led by the nose by Lin Moyu from the very beginning. After cultivating for so many years, they had actually been played by a junior.

For a moment, anger rose in their hearts, but the oath they had just sworn was still in effect. They could not attack Lin Moyu. "Hahaha!" A loud laugh rang out; Great Venerable Jin laughed loudly.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you certainly have good methods." These words fell into the ears of the Great Venerable of the North Pole and the other two, turning into the most grating mockery. Lin Moyu said, "I was only doing it for self-preservation." Swearing the oath was, for him…

…of great benefit. But doing so played right into the hands of Great Venerable Tianzai and Huntian Desolate Dragon. They were eager for him to accumulate karma and stain his hands with blood, thereby increasing the rewards given by the world. If he were to truly kill a few figures at the Great Venerable level…

…the rewards given by the world would skyrocket, and he feared they would immediately attack him. He had to maintain the initiative and keep every change of the Great Tribulation in his own hands, letting the Great Tribulation follow his own rhythm. It was precisely because of this that he went to the trouble…

…of bringing the Great Venerable of the North Pole and the other two here; otherwise, how would they have had the chance to enter? Lin Moyu said, "Everyone, the only opportunity here is the other world beyond the passage. However, it is very dangerous there. If you all wish to go, you had better consider the consequences clearly." Great Venerable Jin said, "Let me try first."

He summoned a large number of insects and flew them into the spatial passage. With the help of the insect stele, Great Venerable Jin could grasp the movements of these insects, and at the same time, he could sense what the insects experienced.

The insects flew further and further into the spatial passage until they reached the end of the passage. "Eh?" Great Venerable Jin suddenly let out a soft exclamation, his expression becoming complicated. Lin Moyu asked, "How is it?"

Great Venerable Jin said, "It is indeed very dangerous there. As soon as my insects went over, more than half of them died. Less than ten percent were able to escape back." This was not bad news.

Lin Moyu had long since said that there was danger there. Since Great Venerable Jin's insects were able to escape back, it meant that there was still a way out inside. With a way out, they did not need to worry; at least saving their lives would not be a problem. Great Venerable Jin said, "I will try again." This time…

…he used more and stronger insects, among which one possessed the combat power of a Quasi-Great Venerable. These insects passed through the spatial passage and entered the wreckage of the world. Great Venerable Jin's brows furrowed tightly again. "The danger at the exit of the passage is not very great."

"At least my large insect can withstand it. But if it flies a thousand miles inside, the danger will increase." The implication was that the Quasi-Great Venerable insect died after flying out a thousand miles.

The Great Venerable of the North Pole asked, "Within the thousand-mile range of the exit, have you discovered anything?" Great Venerable Jin said, "I did indeed make some discoveries. There are some strange flowers and plants growing there, and among the flowers and plants, there are also some peculiar stones. Those stones seem to be metal."

"They should be decent materials. I have not discovered anything else. If you all want to know more, then go and see for yourselves." Even if he had made discoveries, he would not tell others. Being able to say this much was already not bad. The Great Venerable of the North Pole and the other two had some hesitation, but they also seemed to have a yearning for the unknown.

From their eyes, Lin Moyu knew they would definitely go. Lin Moyu said to Venerable Wine, "Senior, please be careful after going over. If there is danger, retreat first." Venerable Wine had experience in going to other worlds.

He understood the principle. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin. I understand." Lin Moyu nodded and said to the group, "Everyone, I will go first." Saying this, he flew into the passage.

He disappeared from sight. "I am going too." Great Venerable Jin chuckled and followed closely behind Lin Moyu into the passage. Venerable Wine was the third to fly in. For a time, only the Great Venerable of the North Pole and the other two remained in the Wall of Heaven and Earth.

The three looked at each other. The Great Venerable of the North Pole said in a low voice, "We will not separate. If there is danger, we will retreat at any time. Prepare all means of self-preservation." The three merged their auras together and flew into the spatial passage together.

The spatial passage was not long. Lin Moyu passed through it quickly. Just as he came out, an attack landed on him. The attack was rootless and sourceless, carrying a massive twisting and killing force, enough to kill a practitioner at the Chaos Realm Great Success.

Lin Moyu ignored the attack and did not stop, choosing a direction at random and flying away. Outside the space, there was a faint shroud of water vapor. He had not flown for long before the exit could no longer be seen behind him. Along the way, attacks fell continuously.

To Lin Moyu, these attacks could only be considered tickles. Not long after he left, Great Venerable Jin also flew out from the space. His body emitted a faint light, and the light turned into the shape of an insect, as if it had put a suit of armor on him.

Great Venerable Jin also ignored the attacks and flew forward. The direction he chose was different from Lin Moyu's. Then Venerable Wine appeared. He immediately summoned a large gourd, which split open and wrapped around him, and then he also flew into the distance.

The three people chose different directions. Finally, the Great Venerable of the North Pole and the other two appeared. They carried cold ice and chose another direction. Lin Moyu flew forward for a distance, and the attacks he received became stronger and stronger.

Great Venerable Jin was not exaggerating; the attacks after a thousand miles were indeed enough to injure a Quasi-Great Venerable, but wanting to kill a Quasi-Great Venerable was still a bit difficult. Lin Moyu flew for a thousand miles, feeling the strengthening attacks. These attacks came from this world.

They were continuous and impossible to dodge. Under the continuous attacks, Great Venerable Jin's insect died very quickly. This was also because this was another world; after the insect moved away from the spatial passage, it lost its connection with the insect stele.

Its power was greatly weakened. After all, it only possessed the combat power of a Quasi-Great Venerable, not a true Quasi-Great Venerable. Once the insect stele was gone, its power was not even as good as a Chaos Realm Perfection. If it were replaced by a true Quasi-Great Venerable…

…in the situation of losing contact with their home world, they would still have many means of self-preservation. Leaving a thousand miles would be no problem, and exploring another thousand miles forward could also be done. It was not as dangerous as imagined. Lin Moyu muttered to himself. He took out the scepter of calamity and called out the hongmeng gem.
