“What exactly is the origin of the World-Burning Fire to be so powerful? Is that Mysterious Master really from the Great World?”

"How could someone from the Great World obtain such a powerful flame? It is truly strange." Thinking of the Mysterious Master, Lin Moyu also thought of his own Great World and Small World.

The people who previously came out of the Small World and entered the Great World have vanished, and the few Heavenly Venerables who came out of the Great World and entered the Origin Continent are likewise without any news.

"Are they still alive? Where did the Small World go, and how are the teachers now?"

Thinking of this, Lin Moyu felt a headache. He could clearly feel that behind everything, there should be a hidden hand pushing all of this.

Controlling all of this, but why would they do so? Lin Moyu could not fathom it.

Putting aside these messy thoughts, Lin Moyu's consciousness returned to the real world, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He saw Saint Master Gu Hanyu and Xiaomei drinking tea and chatting nearby. Looking at them, they did not seem worried at all.

Seeing Lin Moyu wake up, Xiaomei giggled and said, "Teacher is awake. You must be exhausted, come and have some tea." Lin Moyu smiled.

"You two don't seem worried at all." Xiaomei said, "We were worried at first, but not anymore." Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "Hanjing's aura has stabilized."

"Knowing that you must have succeeded, we stopped worrying." Lin Moyu looked at Gu Hanjing.

At this moment, besides being stable, Gu Hanjing's aura was steadily rising, and it was clear she was getting closer and closer to the Dao Venerable 4th Realm.

"It should only be a matter of minutes before she breaks through," Lin Moyu said. "Hanjing has survived a great disaster and will surely have great fortune. This breakthrough is just the beginning; I estimate it won't be long before she reaches the Dao Venerable 5th Realm."

"Perhaps even the 6th Realm is not impossible." Saint Master Gu Hanyu asked, "What exactly happened to Hanjing?"

Lin Moyu whispered, "She was entangled by a type of insect in the Soul Void." He recounted what Gu Hanjing had encountered.

Lin Moyu spoke lightly, but Saint Master Gu Hanyu and Xiaomei felt a chill down their spines. Thinking about what it would be like if their own Soul World were covered in insects, how terrifying that would be! Yet, Gu Hanjing had managed to find a way to survive in such a situation.

And she persisted for so long. If not for her perseverance, she wouldn't have been able to hold on until Lin Moyu appeared and she was finally saved. Lin Moyu said, "After this battle, Hanjing's Dao Heart is firm. Her future achievements will be limitless, and becoming an Ancestor is almost certain."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu looked at Lin Moyu curiously. "It's only been a short while; how did you and Hanjing get so close?"

Lin Moyu chuckled, "Hanyu, don't you know? Your sister is very outgoing. She calls me 'sister' so affectionately, so as her husband, I naturally have to accept it." Saint Master Gu Hanyu gave a light huff.

"You say that as if it's a burden." Lin Moyu smiled and didn't respond. He wasn't a fool; he knew better than to reason with a woman at this time. Suddenly, an aura soared into the sky.

It rushed out from the courtyard, resonating violently with the formation of the Hanshui Holy Land. The array covering the Hanshui Holy Land rumbled incessantly, and plum blossoms manifested from within the formation.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu's eyes held surprise. "Hanjing has awakened her Cold Plum Bloodline."

Xiaomei feigned maturity, acting like an old soul. "Naturally, she awakened the Cold Plum Bloodline. It seems the candidate for the next Saint Master has been found." Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "Ancestor Mei."

Chapter 3397: Who Dares to Disobey, Directly Suppress

"You mean Hanjing?" Xiaomei immediately corrected her, "Mistress, don't call me Ancestor Mei. I am called Xiaomei, not Ancestor Mei."

"Mistress should know that there is an unwritten rule within the Holy Land: if someone can awaken the Cold Plum Bloodline at the Dao Venerable 4th Realm, they are qualified to become the next Saint Master. Now that Mistress is about to abdicate and pass on the position, and Hanjing has just awakened the Cold Plum Bloodline…"

"Isn't this just a natural progression?" Saint Master Gu Hanyu frowned. Looking at her expression, it was clear she didn't know about what Xiaomei was talking about. Saint Master Gu Hanyu murmured to herself, "Is there really such a rule in the Holy Land? Why don't I know about it?" Xiaomei said,

"Maybe those Ancestors didn't tell you. But it's normal; in history, very few people have been able to awaken the Cold Plum Bloodline at the Dao Venerable 4th Realm. Mistress didn't awaken it then either, right?" Saint Master Gu Hanyu indeed had not been able to awaken the Cold Plum Bloodline at the Dao Venerable 4th Realm.

Moreover, in the last few hundred thousand years, no one has been able to awaken the Cold Plum Bloodline at the Dao Venerable 4th Realm. Basically, those who can awaken the Cold Plum Bloodline do so after becoming Ancestors, by going to the Nine Extremes Glacier to awaken it.

Lin Moyu could tell that the Gu family highly valued their Cold Plum Bloodline. In fact, those who possess the Cold Plum Bloodline cultivate faster, and their spells are more powerful.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu did not doubt Xiaomei's words; after all, in her previous life, Xiaomei was Ancestor Mei, and she surely knew more than herself.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu was already thinking about whether it was appropriate to let Gu Hanjing be the new Saint Master.

Lin Moyu saw Saint Master Gu Hanyu's thoughts and whispered with a smile, "If Hanjing were to become the Saint Master, she would probably be more suitable than you." Saint Master Gu Hanyu looked over. "Why do you say that?"

Lin Moyu said, "You are strong enough, but you lack gentleness. Think about it: after you took the position of Saint Master, the Holy Land was indeed much more stable at first, but in the last few thousand years, haven't signs of chaos gradually increased?"

"I have read the history of your Holy Land. When you first became Saint Master, it was just when the conflict with the Wen Dao Sect ended. In that great war, the Hanshui Holy Land could be considered lucky to have won."

"However, the damage suffered was also immense. At that time, some small factions within the Holy Land showed signs of restlessness. Back then, your methods were strong and decisive. You suppressed several factions, making those guys not dare to have ulterior motives. At that time,"

"Your approach was correct. But later, you continued to maintain such strong and decisive methods, which was a bit excessive. It didn't do the Holy Land much good." Lin Moyu spoke very gently, as if telling a story, expounding a fact. Saint Master Gu Hanyu listened to Lin Moyu's words, recalling the events of the last few thousand years.

It seemed that was indeed the case; her methods were too strong. In the last few thousand years, there had been more and more disturbances within the Holy Land's sphere of influence. Saint Master Gu Hanyu whispered, "I know that strong methods are not good. But sometimes, cutting the Gordian knot is the most effective. History tells me that being indecisive is even worse." Lin Moyu chuckled, "Who told you to be indecisive?"

"The correct approach should be to win over some, strike at some, and let the enemies fight each other. You are the ruler; you should watch from the sidelines. There is a game called cockfighting. When two roosters are fighting, have you ever seen the owner enter the arena themselves?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu had to admit that Lin Moyu made sense. She suddenly stretched, revealing her slender, fair neck, and let out a very alluring sigh. "Anyway, I won't be the Saint Master soon. I don't care how the next Saint Master does things." At this moment, Saint Master Gu Hanyu seemed to shed the aura of the Saint Master and revealed a bit of a womanly demeanor. Lin Moyu said, "Yes. You retire after achieving success, and after that, let the floods come." Saint Master Gu Hanyu rolled her eyes at Lin Moyu.

"You're just talking nonsense. Whether I am the Saint Master or not, I am still a member of the Gu family." Lin Moyu smiled and didn't respond. Jokes should be stopped at the right time; one shouldn't go too far.

Auras were rapidly approaching. Ancestor Cang and Ice Ancestor arrived together. Gu Hanjing's awakening of the Cold Plum Bloodline caused the formation to resonate, startling both of them. The appearance of the Cold Plum Bloodline was a major event. The two of them immediately rushed over. Seeing the owner of the Cold Plum Bloodline, both of them were filled with shock and doubt.

Ice Ancestor asked Saint Master Gu Hanyu, "Saint Master, is Hanjing better?" Saint Master Gu Hanyu nodded. "She is better. Not only is she better, but she has also turned a misfortune into a blessing, her cultivation has advanced greatly, and she has awakened the Cold Plum Bloodline." Ice Ancestor couldn't believe it.

She had also looked at Gu Hanjing's problem and had no solution. She couldn't help but ask, "How did Hanjing get better?" Ancestor Gu Cang interrupted, "Need you ask? It must have been Young Friend Lin who acted. Who else but Young Friend Lin could possess such great ability?" Ancestor Gu Cang had already praised Lin Moyu to the heavens.

It seemed that in his view, no matter what Lin Moyu did, it wouldn't be surprising. Saint Master Gu Hanyu also continued, "It was my husband who cured Hanjing. Ice Ancestor, I have one thing I want to ask. Now that Hanjing has awakened the Cold Plum Bloodline, can she become the new Saint Master?"

Ice Ancestor didn't even think about it. "That is natural. There is a rule within the Holy Land: as long as one awakens the Cold Plum Bloodline before becoming an Ancestor, they are qualified to become the Saint Master. You happen to be about to abdicate, so let this position of Saint Master be given to Hanjing." The position of Saint Master, which others dreamed of,

was in Ice Ancestor's mouth so casual, to be given to whoever she pleased. It made sense; the Saint Master only managed ordinary affairs in the Holy Land. If there were really any major events, it would still be up to them, the Ancestors, to steer the ship. Who became the Saint Master actually didn't have that much of an impact.

Of course, the Saint Master was still the master on the surface, and Saint Master Gu Hanyu's thunderous methods back then were still terrifying in the mouths of the world. Saint Master Gu Hanyu was still a bit doubtful. "But Hanjing is only at the Dao Venerable 4th Realm. I'm afraid she won't be able to suppress those guys. Those guys include people inside the Holy Land and people outside."

"The Dao Venerable 4th Realm is indeed a bit lacking." Ice Ancestor didn't care at all. "Rules are rules. When Hanjing becomes the Saint Master, this Ancestor will sit nearby and preside. Whoever dares to disobey, directly suppress them." Ice Ancestor, like Saint Master Gu Hanyu, was decisive in killing.

Whoever didn't obey would be killed directly, without even a chance to explain. Ancestor Gu Cang said, "You old woman, can you not talk about killing all day long? Is there anything that can't be discussed properly by sitting down?" Ice Ancestor gave a cold snort. "What is there to discuss? Why keep people who don't obey?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "Ice Ancestor, I have some thoughts. Although what you are doing is not wrong, sometimes it is not very appropriate. My husband is right. Different times require different methods. If Hanjing really sits on the throne of the Saint Master, you should also listen to Hanjing on some matters."

Ice Ancestor looked at Saint Master Gu Hanyu and pondered for a few seconds. "She is the Saint Master. Holy Land affairs naturally belong to her. Ancestors only take action and don't care about anything else." Although she was still very strong, she had actually compromised. Saint Master Gu Hanyu bowed to Ice Ancestor.

"Hanyu thanks the Ice Ancestor." The formation vibrated more and more violently, and countless plum blossoms exploded. Subsequently, a much larger plum blossom formed, rotating incessantly in the air. Such an anomaly attracted the attention of everyone in the Hanshui Holy Land, and even some people who were in seclusion cultivation were awakened one after another.
