Chapter 2909: Choosing Wrong, Even the Great Dao Realm Will Die
In ten years, Lin Moyu lived leisurely, a rare period of relaxation in his cultivation journey.
Leisurely did not mean doing nothing.
Lin Moyu studied formations, condensed Dao patterns, comprehended the Great Dao, revived the stars in the Thousand Star Great Dao, and refined the origin spirit vein.
He multitasked, leaving nothing behind.
Lin Moyu selected a few people to form an organization called the Thousand Star Hall, passing down the Star Lordâs legacy within the Thousand Star Great Dao.
The Thousand Star Hall belonged to Yudao City, but its members only followed the orders of Lin Moyu and the Human Emperor.
In ten years, Yudao City expanded again, and Lin Moyu felt some changes brought by its prosperity.
The fortune of Yudao City had improved compared to ten years ago.
The increase in fortune directly affected the cultivation speed of Yudao Cityâs residents.
It also subtly influenced the aptitude of babies born in Yudao City.
These were broad impacts, but for Lin Moyu, the influence was more direct.
The increase in fortune could shorten the time needed to condense Dao patterns.
From this, Lin Moyu deduced that prehistoric cultivators also needed to rely on large sects when condensing Dao patterns.
For lone cultivators, unless they had some opportunity, or only condensed one Dao pattern, the time required for multiple Dao patterns could be despairing.
Now, it took him a hundred years to condense one Dao pattern, and it would only take longer in the future.
The strength of fortune greatly affected him.
While pondering, Lin Moyu suddenly received a reminder from the Human Emperor, "Lu Xue is coming over, and she seems a bit anxious."
Over the years, Lin Moyu had interacted with Lu Xue a few times, but it was always for business.
He always went to find Lu Xue; she never came to him.
This time, Lu Xue came on her own and seemed anxious, indicating something was up.
The Human Emperor controlled all of Yudao City but did not monitor the Lu Feng Merchant Guild.
Lin Moyu knew that with the guildâs methods, if they wanted to avoid the Human Emperorâs surveillance, they could do so in many ways.
Since that was the case, it was better not to monitor them openly.
So, he didnât know why Lu Xue was coming to see him.
Lin Moyu wasnât at the City Lordâs Mansion initially, but upon learning Lu Xue was coming, he calmly stepped out and teleported to the mansionâs hall through the origin spirit vein.
With a wave of his hand, tea was ready, waiting for Lu Xueâs arrival.
The City Lordâs Mansion was different from ten years ago, and the people there knew Lin Moyuâs identity, so they werenât surprised by his sudden appearance.
To them, their City Lord was just that mysterious.
Moreover, the people the Human Emperor placed in the mansion were trustworthy.
After being notified, Lu Xue entered the City Lordâs Mansion and saw Lin Moyu seated at the head.
Although she had seen Lin Moyu multiple times over the past ten years, Lu Xue still found him unfathomable, not like a Dao Sovereign First Realm, but more like an ancestor-level figure of the Dao Sovereign Seventh Realm.
Lu Xue saluted Lin Moyu, "I greet City Lord Lin."
Lin Moyu smiled, "No need for formalities; weâre familiar. What brings you here, President Lu Xue?"
Lu Xue was now the president of the guild in Yudao City, and Lin Moyuâs address changed from Miss Lu Xue to President Lu Xue.
However, in front of Lin Moyu, Lu Xue never dared to call herself president.
Lu Xue said, "I just received orders from the Three Ancestors, so I came to see City Lord Lin immediately."
Lin Moyu realized it was as he guessed.
Lin Moyu sipped his tea leisurely, "Even if itâs about the Three Ancestors, thereâs no need to rush. What do they want?"
Lu Xue shook her head, "I donât know!"
As she spoke, she took out a formation disk, "The Three Ancestors said they want to speak with you directly."
Lin Moyu nodded, "Alright, Iâll speak with the Three Ancestors myself. Would you like to listen in, President Lu Xue?"
Lu Xue knew her place and immediately left the hall.
Lin Moyu snapped his fingers, and an invisible force spread out, isolating the hall from the outside world.
Then he activated the formation disk, and a few seconds later, the deep voice of the Three Ancestors came through, "Lin boy, long time no see!"
Lin Moyu chuckled, "Such a short time is just a blink of an eye for you."
The Three Ancestors snorted lightly, "It seems youâve been living leisurely these years."
Lin Moyu said, "Iâm not leisurely at all, quite busy. Cultivation is troublesome after becoming a Dao Sovereign; condensing Dao patterns is slow."
The Three Ancestors chuckled, "Condensing Dao patterns isnât easy, so Iâm here to bring you an opportunity."
Lin Moyu said, "Is it to kill another extraterrestrial god?"
"Yes..."
As soon as the word "yes" was out, the Three Ancestors immediately stopped, with a hint of displeasure, "Boy, youâre trying to trick me!"
Lin Moyu laughed, "Getting some truth from you, an old fox, isnât easy."
He already knew that his last trip to the Thunder Shock Secret Realm was calculated by the Three Ancestors.
The Three Ancestors wanted to see if he could kill an extraterrestrial god.
After learning he could kill divine pets, the Three Ancestors had this plan.
The Three Ancestors were not only an old fox but also had thick skin from living countless years.
He said softly, "Youâre a little fox yourself, even more cunning than me."
Lin Moyu, equally thick-skinned, accepted the title of little fox and calmly sipped his tea, "Iâm just curious why you thought Iâd choose the Thunder Shock Secret Realm."
The Three Ancestors chuckled, "Just a gamble on probability. Even if you went to another secret realm, youâd eventually go to the Thunder Shock Secret Realm."
"In the Thunder Shock Secret Realm, youâd encounter an extraterrestrial god. If you could kill it, youâd receive a Great Dao reward to help condense Dao patterns."
"Though I donât know how many Dao patterns youâd condense, it wouldnât be few, at least eight or nine."
Lin Moyu wouldnât tell the Three Ancestors he condensed eighteen Dao patterns. He said in a low voice, "You really think highly of me. Did you know I almost died in the Thunder Shock Secret Realm?"
The Three Ancestors seemed surprised, "Thereâs no danger there. Even if you couldnât kill the extraterrestrial god, you shouldnât have been in danger."
Lin Moyu said, "I was almost possessed."
The Three Ancestorsâ aura became heavier, and the formation disk vibrated, "Was it Jin Lei? What happened after?"
Lin Moyu nodded, "Iâm sitting here, so heâs dead. He could have reincarnated but chose to possess me, so I killed him.
"But killing a Great Dao realm entity isnât fun, no reward!"
The Three Ancestors sighed, seemingly for Jin Lei, "So you should know how important choices are. Choose wrong, and even a Great Dao realm will die."
Lin Moyu said, "Thatâs old news. Letâs not dwell on it. What do you need from me this time?"
The Three Ancestors said, "You havenât forgotten, have you? You promised to do something for us after becoming a Dao Sovereign."
Lin Moyu nodded, "I havenât forgotten. Go ahead."
Before the Three Ancestors could speak, Lin Moyu frowned and took out a fist-sized pearl.
The pearl from the Sea of Worlds was shining brightly.
