The joy of the reunion of brother and sister was palpable.
Especially after experiencing life and death, and living in fear and trepidation for tens of thousands of years, the Great Venerable of September completely put aside his status as a Great Venerable in front of his brother.
Unfortunately, discordant sounds shattered the joy of their reunion.
"Now that the matter is settled, you can give me what you promised."
Lin Moyu stood by, her voice calm, a stark contrast to the joy of the two.
ADVERTISEMENTThe Great Venerable of September asked, "Brother, what did you promise?"
The Nine Suns Venerable said, "It's the secret technique we obtained. We've been researching it for many years without any results, so this is the perfect opportunity to use it."
A hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the Great Venerable of September. She knew very well that this secret technique was extraordinary. As a Great Venerable, there were very few things that she could not see through, and this secret technique was one of them.
She knew that the secret technique was at a very high level, possibly even surpassing the Great "490" Venerable, but after studying it for millions of years, they had gained nothing except knowing that it was at a high level.
Although I was reluctant to leave, I thought about Lin Moyu's performance there, and if I changed my mind, the result would probably be even worse.
So she acquiesced to the deal and did not object.
True to his word, the Nine-Sun Venerable passed on the secret technique to Lin Moyu. It was a crystal-clear gem, a near-perfect polyhedron with countless facets.
Even a tiny ray of light can reflect more than ten times the brightness; it is a very beautiful thing.
However, on the surface, it reveals no aura whatsoever; it is simply an extremely beautiful gemstone, and one would never guess that it is a supreme treasure that records the Art of Heaven's Beginning.
Lin Moyu put it away without ceremony. "Alright, our deal is done. I should be going now."
"Wait a minute!" Grand Venerable September suddenly spoke up.
Lin Moyu asked, "Is there anything else?"
The Great Venerable of September said, "I have a few questions for you."
Lin Moyu hummed in agreement. "Since the deal seems to have gone smoothly, go ahead and ask."
The Great Venerable of September gave the Venerable of Nine Suns a wink, signaling him to leave first.
ADVERTISEMENTThe Ninth Sun Venerable listened to his sister and turned to leave without the slightest hesitation.
Lin Moyu chuckled, "You don't want him to bear this karma, do you? Actually, there's no need for that.
You should be able to see from the current situation that I am the enemy of heaven and earth, with endless karma on my shoulders.
Moreover, the great calamity of heaven and earth has arrived, and none of you can escape it."
Grand Venerable Jiuyue naturally understood that she had already seen the changes in the world when she returned and instantly deduced the approximate situation.
The Great Venerables' understanding and perception of heaven and earth allowed them to grasp many of the secrets within them.
Therefore, when they discover things they don't understand, they always feel a great sense of curiosity, which breeds a desire to explore further.
In other words, knowing everything leads to boredom, while encountering something you don't know can spark intense interest.
Now, the same is true for September; she has an extremely strong interest in Lin Moyu.
She asked her first question, "Are you the reincarnation of the Great Calamity Lord?"
Lin Moyu chuckled, "It seems you've already concluded that I'm not the successor to the will of the Great Calamity Lord. But unfortunately, I'm not the reincarnation of the Great Calamity Lord either."
The Great Venerable of September continued, "Then..."
But before she could even ask her question, Lin Moyu interrupted her, "It's my turn to ask you. Let's each ask one, that's fair."
Grandmaster Jiuyue hummed in agreement, "Alright, go ahead and ask."
Lin Moyu asked, "Why do you want to be an enemy of the Great Lord of Calamity?"
An invisible aura spread out, and Xiao Peng, following Lin Moyu's instructions, secretly activated the Hidden Spirit Pearl to ensure that their conversation would not be noticed.
Grand Venerable Jiuyue sighed softly, "Actually, it's not that I'm against him. I just disagree with his approach. He was going all in to break that so-called 'Dao,' which I don't think was necessary."
"I feel that we can all go our own way and may be able to reach the same level as the 'Tao'. If we then have to fight against the 'Tao' again, we will have a greater chance of success."
"I also know his plan. He set up a large formation in the Eastern Pole, but I did not try to destroy it."
Grand Venerable September said a lot. Back then, she was friends with Grand Venerable Tianzai and others, and they were considered to be in the same group.
We once traversed the ancient wilderness together, searching for rare treasures.
However, they disagreed on how to deal with the 'Tao', which eventually led to conflict.
The Great Venerable of September felt that he could find another way, walk his own path, until he reached the same level as the 'Dao', and then deal with it. That way, he would have a greater chance of success.
ADVERTISEMENTThe Great Lord of Heavenly Calamity advocates taking a desperate gamble, sacrificing himself to severely damage the 'Dao', and making plans for the future.
The most crucial figure at that time was the Venerable of Destiny, who used the Dao of Destiny to predict the future and obtained some information that further solidified the ideas of the Great Venerable of Calamity…
However, the Great Venerable of September still insisted on his own idea: the future predicted by fate is not necessarily accurate. The future is constantly changing. If the Great Venerable of Heavenly Calamity were to perish, and fate were to change again, then everything would be in vain.
Lin Moyu could fully understand the thoughts of the Great Venerable of September, but unfortunately the Great Venerable of September was unaware that the Great Venerable of Heavenly Calamity had a deeper plan.
When the Great Lord of Heavenly Calamity decided to make his move, he had already planned his retreat. He did not perish at all; he merely faked his death, deceiving the Dao and everyone else.
The destiny predicted by Venerable Destiny is correct, because Venerable Great Calamity has not perished, so the future is unlikely to change.
Moreover, as long as he is alive, even if the future changes, he can set things right.
Minor changes may occur, but the overall trend remains unchanged; this is destiny.
Perhaps because she hadn't spoken for so many years, the Great Venerable of September spoke at length, and Lin Moyu listened patiently, finally understanding what had happened back then.
Grand Venerable September did not necessarily want to be enemies with Grand Venerable Heavenly Calamity, so she did not interfere with the great formation that Grand Venerable Heavenly Calamity had set up in the Eastern Pole.
Otherwise, given her abilities, how could she have allowed the great formation to exist for so many years?
The Great Venerable of September asked a second question, "If you are not the reincarnation of the Great Venerable of Heavenly Calamity, then who are you?"
Lin Moyu laughed and said, "It seems that the Great Venerable of Heavenly Calamity did not tell you the results of the Destiny Venerable's deduction back then.
Actually, who I am is not important.
I am just me, Lin Moyu, a cultivator from the Chaotic Ancient Wilderness.
Your question is pointless.
Let me tell you something else: the Great Venerable of Heavenly Calamity is not dead."
"What!"
Grand Venerable Jiuyue exclaimed in surprise. Judging from her shocked expression, she was terrified by her own words.
For tens of thousands of years, her consciousness was not in the chaotic ancient wilderness, and she was unaware of many things.
Lin Moyu laughed and said, "Don't be so surprised, let's continue. It's my turn to ask you..."
Through the question-and-answer session, Lin Moyu also gained a lot of information that she wanted to know, as did the Great Lord of September.
The two exchanged information, and Grandmaster Jiuyue gradually accepted it after her initial shock.
Lin Moyu could tell that she still didn't get along with the Great Lord of Calamity, especially after learning that the Great Lord of Calamity had set up a scheme within a scheme, which fueled her anger and even a hint of murderous intent.
In her view, the Great Lord of Heavenly Calamity was treating them like monkeys, which was intolerable!
