The Third Ancestor snorted angrily, “Do you think I would believe your words?”

Lin Moyu shamelessly replied, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, I don't have any great dao longevity pills, but I do have a life. You can decide what to do with it."

The Third Ancestor's killing intent flared, "Do you think I dare not kill you?"

Lin Moyu said, "You can certainly kill me, but you'll probably have to find someone else to do the task you wanted me to do."

The Third Ancestor was amused by his own anger. The task he had assigned to Lin Moyu had become a bargaining chip to hold him back. "Very good, very good. You're something else. You are the first brat to dare speak to me like this."

Lin Moyu chuckled, "I have no choice. Who told you to talk about killing at every turn? I'm forced into this. Sect Master Tu is much gentler than you; everything is negotiable with him."

When the Third Ancestor heard the name Sect Master Tu, his expression suddenly shifted subtly, "What did he say?"

This change made Lin Moyu realize that things were not quite as he had imagined.

Normally, if the Third Ancestor had interacted with Sect Master Tu, he shouldn't have had such a reaction.

There were two possibilities for the current reaction: either the Third Ancestor and Sect Master Tu were very close, like old friends, which was why he asked like that.

Or, they weren't actually close and had only had some contact, which could also explain the question.

Lin Moyu said, "He asked me to help him find someone."

The Third Ancestor tapped his finger, and a Dao Pattern appeared in the void, "Is it this person?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes. But the world is vast; how am I to find them? I could only promise Sect Master Tu that I would do my best."

Another bead appeared in the Third Ancestor's hand, identical to the one in Lin Moyu's hand.

However, this bead in the Third Ancestor's hand was already somewhat dim.

"I once looked for them too, but unfortunately, I never could find them."

"Time passes so quickly. In the blink of an eye, so many years have gone by. The passage of time is truly terrifying; even the Light of the Great Dao cannot resist it. In a while, when the Light of the Great Dao is exhausted, the bead in my hand will also be useless."

Lin Moyu said, "Indeed, the passage of time is terrifying. That is why those ancestors all pursue immortality beyond the Dao Venerable Realm."

The Third Ancestor suddenly burst into laughter, "Immortality? What immortality? There is no true immortality in this world. If there were true immortality, why would that old man Tu end up in such a state? Why would the person he is looking for end up in such a state?"

His laughter carried a hint of catharsis, yet also a touch of desolation.

Lin Moyu realized that the Third Ancestor knew far more than he had imagined.

At the same time, he realized that the Third Ancestor must know Sect Master Tu of the God-Slaughtering Sect quite well, which made the Third Ancestor's previous reaction understandable.

Lin Moyu asked, "Can you tell me?"

The Third Ancestor snorted softly, "Even Old Man Tu didn't tell you, so why should I?"

Lin Moyu sighed, "Alright, then I won't ask."

The Third Ancestor shouted, "You're not asking? I insist on telling you."

Lin Moyu said, "You don't have to do that. I know my realm is not high enough yet, and there are some things I am not qualified to know."

The Third Ancestor said, "No, you are already qualified, because you are the same kind of person as us."

Lin Moyu frowned slightly. What did he mean by being the same kind of person as them?

But in the next second, he understood that the Third Ancestor must be referring to the path he was walking, which was the same as theirs.

Lin Moyu had long suspected that the Third Ancestor's path of cultivation was the same as Sect Master Tu's.

Although the path Lu Fengyao was currently walking was no different from the cultivators in the Origin Continent, that was only to deceive others.

Once Lu Fengyao reached a certain realm, the Third Ancestor would surely set things right for her and guide her onto the correct path.

As for the others, the paths they were walking were actually crooked, and their future prospects were not great.

Perhaps one day in the future, he would make the correct path of cultivation known to the world.

But now was not the time; he could only do that once he had sufficient ability to protect himself.

Lin Moyu perked up his ears, "If you really want to tell me, Third Ancestor, then I can only listen."

The Third Ancestor snorted, "Before I speak, let me ask you first: did you obtain the inheritance of the Great Dao of Luck during this trip to the God-Slaughtering Sect?"

Lin Moyu nodded and snapped his fingers, and the Great Dao of Luck instantly appeared beside him.

There was nothing to hide; sooner or later, it would be known to others.

The Third Ancestor said, "Very good. Being able to comprehend the Great Dao of Luck shows that your luck is top-notch, and you are also extremely intelligent. With your luck, listening to these things won't cause any trouble."

"Then listen carefully. First is the Great Dao Realm above the Dao Venerable Realm. In the current Origin Continent, this is a legendary realm."

"Those ancestors call this realm the Immortality Realm."

"Immortality, my foot! Where is there any true immortality in this world? It's all nonsense."

The Third Ancestor couldn't help but curse before continuing, "Once you enter the Great Dao Realm, you indeed have no worries about lifespan, but the price is that you must leave the Origin Continent."

"You've seen the Great Dao before, haven't you? Those guys within the Great Dao are in the Great Dao Realm."

"They cannot leave the Great Dao for long. Once they leave, their lifespan will decrease."

"They have Great Dao Protection and can be immortal, but that is only under peaceful circumstances. If they encounter disasters, they will still die."

"Cultivators of the Great Dao Realm will face three disasters; if they cannot withstand them, they will die."

"Even if they withstand the three disasters, there are other things that can cause them to fall. Therefore, the immortality of the Great Dao Realm is not true immortality at all."

Lin Moyu's eyes lit up, and he interjected, "For example, the Outer Domain Celestial God!"

The Third Ancestor sighed, "That's right, for example, the Outer Domain Celestial God. The God-Slaughtering Sect is named as such precisely because they slaughtered an Outer Domain Celestial God."

"They weren't called the God-Slaughtering Sect before. You can take a guess, what were they called before?"

Lin Moyu shook his head; how could he guess that?

The Third Ancestor laughed heartily, "You definitely wouldn't guess it. When the God-Slaughtering Sect was first established, it was called Tu Family Village."

Lin Moyu was stunned on the spot; he never expected it to be such a name.

Tu Family Village, God-Slaughtering Sect… just looking at the names, the difference seemed quite large.

The Third Ancestor continued to laugh, "Old Man Tu must have told you that his surname Tu has nothing to do with the God-Slaughtering Sect, and that it was named the God-Slaughtering Sect because they slaughtered an Outer Domain genius."

"He's just afraid of losing face. Next time you see him, you can ask him straightforwardly if it used to be called Tu Family Village."

Lin Moyu thought to himself, "You dare to say it, but I don't dare to ask. Isn't that just asking for trouble for myself!"

When mentioning Tu Family Village, the Third Ancestor seemed to be exposing someone's scars, gloating with schadenfreude.

He continued, "Now you should understand that immortality is all fake. Let alone the Great Dao Realm, even the more powerful Lords of the Great Dao dare not say they can achieve immortality."

"Those Lords of the Great Dao can at most say that it is very hard for them to die."

"For instance, the person Old Man Tu asked you to find is actually his Lord of the Great Dao. His Lord of the Great Dao is reincarnating in the world; perhaps they have already fallen into depravity, perhaps not."

"If he can find the Lord of the Great Dao and make them return, then with the power of the Lord of the Great Dao, perhaps Old Man Tu could be resurrected. If he's lucky, the entire God-Slaughtering Sect could be resurrected as a whole."

Lin Moyu listened with fascination; it was actually like this.

Finding the Lord of the Great Dao, resurrecting himself, and even resurrecting his sect.

Lin Moyu asked, "Does the Lord of the Great Dao have such powerful abilities?"

Mentioning the Lord of the Great Dao, the Third Ancestor stopped laughing, and his tone became serious, "Do not underestimate the Lord of the Great Dao. If one day you can reach that realm, you will know."

"There are some things that you won't understand unless you experience them yourself."

Lin Moyu nodded. That was indeed true; many things require personal experience to be understood, and just listening to others is useless.

He looked at the Third Ancestor, "And what about you?"

The Third Ancestor said, "I know you've already guessed my identity, and I never intended to hide it from you. I came here with my own things to do."

"The power struggles of the Origin Continent have nothing to do with me; I just want to complete my own affairs."

Lin Moyu said, "For example, the task you wanted me to do earlier is also one of them, right?"

The Third Ancestor said, "Correct."

Lin Moyu muttered to himself, "In that case, it's possible that the King of the Boundary Sea is the same as you."

The Third Ancestor laughed again, "You brat, you really are clever!"

The Third Ancestor's words were equivalent to giving the answer.

It was no wonder that the King of the Boundary Sea's request was the same as the Third Ancestor's.

Once he reached the Dao Venerable Realm, he would have to help them do a task.

This task probably wouldn't be easy, and perhaps the tasks both of them wanted to do were quite similar.

The Origin Continent was not as simple as he thought; it contained many secrets, and the water was very deep.

Lin Moyu asked, "Are there many existences like you?"

The Third Ancestor said, "Many? Many my foot!"

Lin Moyu was taken aback, "Can you not pause so dramatically when you speak?"

The Third Ancestor said, "I didn't pause dramatically; I stated the facts. As for whether you can understand it, that's your business."

"Could there be a deeper meaning in these words?"

Lin Moyu thought back and forth, but couldn't figure out the meaning behind the Third Ancestor's words.

Lin Moyu asked curiously, "How did that Lord of the Great Dao from the God-Slaughtering Sect fall?"

The Third Ancestor revealed a mysterious smile and finally spat out two words: "Guess!"

Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "It should be related to that Outer Domain Celestial God."

The Third Ancestor chuckled without answering directly, only saying, "There are some things you are not yet qualified to know."

"When you break through the limits of the Dao Venerable Realm and step into the Great Dao Realm, you will naturally understand."

The same words again; Lin Moyu was already tired of hearing them.

But since the other party refused to speak, there was nothing he could do.

Lin Moyu murmured in his heart, "The Great Dao Realm requires one to be free of illness and disaster to achieve immortality; this kind of immortality is not what I seek."

"Lords of the Great Dao and Lords of the Great Dao all fall; it seems it is not easy for an ordinary Great Dao Realm cultivator to be free of illness and disaster."

"However, even if those ancestors know that immortality is very difficult, when facing life and death, they would definitely choose to take that step without hesitation, just to survive first."

The Third Ancestor said, "You don't need to overthink, kid. Even if those ancestors know their path is wrong, they will definitely continue on it without hesitation. If they stand still, they will die."

"As long as they keep moving forward, perhaps there will still be a chance. There are many miracles in this world."

Lin Moyu nodded, "Since you have known for a long time, why didn't you tell them?"

The Third Ancestor snorted coldly, "Why should I tell them? I am not a saint; there is no need for me to do such good deeds."

"When capable, help the world; when not, take care of oneself. I don't have that ability, so I can only take care of myself."

Lin Moyu didn't believe the Third Ancestor's words, guessing that he must have his own plans.

The Third Ancestor's own plans were not important, and he didn't need to care.

The conversation between the two had reached the point where they were half-frank with each other.

Two foxes, one old and one young, both said a part of the truth, but neither said it all.

Lin Moyu asked, "What kind of conditions do you think I should propose?"

The Third Ancestor smiled, his eyes slightly narrowed, smiling somewhat sinisterly, "That depends on what you want."

This reminded Lin Moyu of what the Third Ancestor had said; his essence was that of a merchant.

Merchants seek profit; in their eyes, anything can be treated as a business deal.

The Third Ancestor's appearance clearly showed he was ready to ask for an exorbitant price.

Lin Moyu shook his head, "They probably don't have what I want, for example, the Root of Rebirth."

The Third Ancestor's smile stiffened, "You're really something for saying that. Can't you say something practical?"

Lin Moyu said, "Actually, I don't know what is most suitable either. Why don't you help me think about it?"

The Third Ancestor's eyes turned, "How about this, if you trust me, how about I speak for you?"

"And, we still need to make some preparations…"

The two foxes began to discuss how to swindle those ancestors.

In the Third Ancestor's words, the ancestors of those sacred lands and sects were all incredibly wealthy. If they didn't take the opportunity to fleece them, they would miss the chance.

However, given Lin Moyu's status, he couldn't go too far. If those ancestors decided to be shameless, it would be very troublesome.

Therefore, it was best for the Third Ancestor to speak on his behalf.

They treated this harvest as a business, turning the method to break through to the Dao Venerable Realm into a commodity to sell.

The two discussed for a while and finally reached a result.

The Third Ancestor said, "Alright, then let's go back."

"Stay at my place for a while, wait for two days to pass outside, and then call them over."

"Also, recover your aura a bit; don't look like you're about to die."

Lin Moyu chuckled, and his aura instantly recovered by a large margin.

Although he still looked somewhat weak, his life was no longer in danger, and his realm was firmly established at the High-level Heavenly Venerable.

The Third Ancestor rolled his eyes at Lin Moyu; Lin Moyu had used this trick to swindle a great dao longevity pill.

Inside an Origin Secret Realm, Lin Mohan waved her long sword, slashing out countless sword shadows.

The sword shadows were in the millions, dense and packed, and countless enemies were shredded within the sword qi.

These enemies were not living creatures but were derived from some mysterious power.

Immediately after, the million sword shadows merged into one, forming a giant sword.

The giant sword was infinitely tall, as if it were about to cleave the galaxy.

"One Sword, Cleave the Mountain!"

Lin Mohan shouted softly, and the giant sword fell at an astonishing speed, the sword light exploding with a roar.
