Chapter 2932: If Youâre a Businessman, You Can Negotiate
Lin Moyuâs expression was somewhat serious. Given the recovery ability of a divine pet, if it wasnât dead, it would have already recovered. Whether itâs hiding in that Origin Secret Realm or trapped there is uncertain. If itâs just hiding, Lin Moyu felt that going there would be like delivering himself on a platter. But then he thought something was off; the Three Ancestors mentioned that the Origin Secret Realm already had an extraterrestrial god. Unless the extraterrestrial god mentioned by the Three Ancestors was that divine pet. Either way, going there would be a death sentence.
The Three Ancestors said in a low voice, "We canât be sure itâs that. Illusory insects arenât exclusive to extraterrestrial gods. They could also be from the Origin Continent."
Lin Moyu suddenly realized something he had overlooked, "I didnât feel any aversion when I saw that insect earlier."
The Three Ancestors said, "Thatâs the second point I wanted to make. Itâs special because it doesnât trigger the Great Daoâs aversion. To be precise, the insects it splits into donât trigger aversion, but its mother body still would."
"So, you canât rely on that to distinguish them."
Lin Moyu sighed, "Youâre still suggesting I go, arenât you?"
The Three Ancestors said softly, "While I hope you do, Iâm not forcing you this time. Itâs your decision."
Lin Moyu was also contemplating this issue. If there really was an extraterrestrial god in that Origin Secret Realm, it was indeed very tempting for him. Killing an extraterrestrial god and obtaining the Great Dao reward could save him a lot of time on his cultivation path.
Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "How about this, show me the information on that Origin Secret Realm, and Iâll decide whether to go."
The Three Ancestors said, "I was going to give it to you anyway. Is the place Old Black asked you to go dangerous?"
Lin Moyu chuckled, "How could it not be dangerous? I was on the brink of life and death in there. For specifics, you should ask the King of the Boundary Sea; itâs inconvenient for me to say."
The Three Ancestors nodded and didnât press further. With a wave of his hand, the space around Lin Moyu twisted, and in an instant, he was back in his original place.
The 160 Dao Sovereigns sat neatly, unmoving.
The Three Ancestorsâ voice rang out, "Xiao Lian, give him the information on the Ice and Fire Secret Realm."
Lu Lian handed a jade token to Lin Moyu without hesitation, "All the information on the Ice and Fire Secret Realm is in here."
Lin Moyu examined the jade tokenâs contents.
The information on the secret realm was collected by the 160 Dao Sovereign Sixth Realm experts, each providing their insights. There were many commonalities, but also many differing opinions.
The Ice and Fire Secret Realm is composed of ice and fire forces. The sky is perennially shrouded in ice, with extremely low temperatures, often experiencing freezing rain or snow. Meanwhile, the ground is a world of fire, with lava, volcanoes, and flames covering almost all the land.
Where ice and fire meet, a lot of mist forms. In this mist, the Great Dao powers of ice and fire intertwine, making it difficult for Dao Sovereigns to see far. Once inside, they are almost in a semi-lost state, so their observations are limited.
The environment is just one peculiarity of the Ice and Fire Secret Realm. Another is its time limit. Once inside, everyone can only stay for a hundred days before being transported out, and they canât enter again. This is why the Three Ancestors sent 160 Dao Sovereigns one after another; otherwise, sending the same people repeatedly would have been the best choice.
The Three Ancestors sent people into the secret realm to obtain something called the Ice and Fire Dao Stone. The Three Ancestors didnât say where the Ice and Fire Dao Stone came from. Lin Moyu guessed it was related to a powerful Great Dao realm expert. The entire Ice and Fire Secret Realm was likely related to this.
Another point is that there is indeed an extraterrestrial god in the Ice and Fire Secret Realm, one that is sealed inside. This extraterrestrial god isnât dead, just sealed.
Seeing this, Lin Moyu had a rough idea of the situation. A Great Dao realm expert and an extraterrestrial god fought, and the Great Dao realm expert used their life to form a seal, trapping the extraterrestrial god.
This situation is similar to the Thunder Secret Realm and the previous Whale Elder.
All these facts told Lin Moyu that the great war back then was indeed brutal. Many Great Dao realm experts sacrificed their lives.
There doesnât seem to be any danger in the Ice and Fire Secret Realm; the Dao Sovereigns who entered all returned safely.
It seems safe, but hidden dangers remain. Perhaps that special divine pet is hiding in the secret realm, which is what Lin Moyu fears most.
After reviewing the information collected by the 160 Dao Sovereigns, Lin Moyu found it not very useful. These Dao Sovereigns werenât particularly skilled at exploring the secret realm, and a hundred days yielded little.
For Lin Moyu, the information wasnât very helpful.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Moyu said, "Three Ancestors, I still want to discuss something with you."
The Three Ancestors understood Lin Moyuâs intention and transported him back to his space.
Lin Moyu said, "I have a few requests. If you agree, Iâll go."
The Three Ancestors didnât immediately agree or refuse but said, "Letâs hear them."
Lin Moyu said, "First, I want to go in a hundred years because my Dao patterns will be fully condensed by then. I can advance to the Dao Sovereign Second Realm, giving me a better chance."
The Three Ancestors said, "Okay, I can wait a hundred years."
The 160 Dao Sovereigns wonât have any issues within a thousand years, so a hundred years wonât make much difference.
"My second request is for a Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm corpse. It doesnât matter what race."
The Three Ancestorsâ voice became noticeably lower, "Do you know how valuable a Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm corpse is?"
Lin Moyu said, "I donât know, but I believe itâs not more valuable than the Ice and Fire Dao Stone."
The Three Ancestors repeatedly sent people to the secret realm for the Ice and Fire Dao Stone, indicating its high value.
If Lin Moyu were to say, the true name of the Ice and Fire Dao Stone might not be what it seems. Perhaps it could be related to the Fire Dao Stone.
A businessman like the Three Ancestors, even if they provided all the information, might still have some tricks up their sleeve.
Having dealt with the Three Ancestors multiple times, Lin Moyu believed he was capable of such things.
Precisely because the Three Ancestors is a businessman, some things can be negotiated. For a businessman, nothing is off the table.
He wanted the Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm corpse as insurance.
Corpse Explosion hadnât been used in a long time due to a lack of good materials. A Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm corpse would be a powerful trump card.
Finally, the Three Ancestors spoke again, "Alright, I agree, but I have a request too."
"Please, Three Ancestors!" Lin Moyu knew the Three Ancestors would bargain, so he wasnât surprised.
The Three Ancestors said, "If you donât gain anything inside, you must return the corpse to me."
Lin Moyu smiled, "No problem!"
