The Celestial Destiny Venerable personally escorted Lin Moyu away. He then fused with his own physical body, and only after the fusion was complete would he be the Celestial Destiny Venerable in his full form.
By then, his strength will surely surpass that of a Grand Venerable. Even if he doesn't reach the level of a Heavenly Calamity Grand Venerable, he won't be too far off.
With his and the Ancient Wild Ox's strength, their chances of surviving the great calamity became extremely high.
Lin Moyu didn't ask what they would do next, nor did she want to.
During his conversation with the Celestial Master, Lin Moyu could vaguely sense that he harbored some hope for the future.
ADVERTISEMENTSitting atop Xiao Peng, and transforming into a golden streak of light as they traveled through the void, Lin Moyu casually asked, "He said he only wanted to save his life, do you believe him?"
Chaos Child and Xiao Peng remained silent; the conversation they had just had was beyond their comprehension and they could not make a judgment.
Hongmeng Gem said, "He wasn't telling the truth."
Lin Moyu laughed and said, "Of course, he held back some information about the 'Zero 70' calamity master back then, so he naturally wouldn't tell me everything either."
Hongmeng Gem said, "He probably also has the ambition to become a supreme expert."
Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "That's only human nature. He wants to save his life, and the best way to save his life is to become the strongest. He said that due to the influence of the great calamity, fate is in chaos and he can't predict it. We can only believe half of what he said."
"The deduction should be difficult, but not impossible. I believe he must have seen some opportunities."
"Actually, killing me would be the best way for him to become the strongest in the conflict, but he has no confidence in doing so, so he doesn't dare to make a move. Perhaps he is waiting for an opportunity, or for a lucky break."
Lin Moyu's gaze deepened; he could deduce some things from his conversation with the Celestial Destiny Venerable.
I do not understand the great principles of destiny and cannot predict the future, but I can calculate people's hearts.
The Venerable One of Destiny spoke cautiously, but still revealed some information. He inadvertently mentioned that there are many passages in this world.
These spatial passages connect to other worlds, which are mostly ruins.
If he has the opportunity, it lies in the ruins of other worlds.
Perhaps, he can go further from there, at least gaining real experience of being able to stand on equal footing with the Great Lord of Calamity.
If so, then joining forces with the Ancient Wild Bull would give them two powers, giving them the upper hand in the struggle for the strongest.
The Primordial Gem said, "No matter how he schemes, as long as Master is strong enough, there is nothing to fear. Of all the supreme experts I've seen, almost none succeeded through scheming."
ADVERTISEMENTThey all earned their places through hard work and skill.
Lin Moyu smiled. That was indeed the case. As long as one's strength was sufficient, no matter what schemes others might employ, they would be thwarted in a day.
The Hidden Spirit Pearl manipulated by Xiaopeng exuded a peculiar aura, concealing his own existence and that of Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu sat on its back and began to study the harvest.
Two copies of the Primordial Technique, a rare treasure, and the Sky-Breaking Crystal.
The first thing to look at is this rare treasure, a single leaf...
This leaf has a purple sheen, as beautiful as jade and emerald.
The leaves are covered with delicate veins, as if they were created by nature, and they faintly reveal profound truths.
Lin Moyu may not be able to see through the secrets hidden in this leaf, but that's okay.
When something is unclear, the most basic manipulation for a cultivator is refining!
The fire of the soul burned fiercely and penetrated into it. Suddenly, a warning came from the depths of Lin Moyu's soul. A malice rose from the leaf and mocked the soul.
Lin Moyu's instinctive reaction was that the Azure Dragon wasn't completely dead, and that its remnant soul was hiding inside, trying to possess him.
But the next moment, he sensed something was wrong; the malice did not come from the Azure Dragon, but from the leaf itself.
"Go back!"
With a low shout, the soul world hummed. Enveloped in the primordial energy, the soul world possessed powerful defenses, firmly blocking this malicious force.
Malice manifested as a sharp arrow outside the soul world, spinning wildly, attempting to pierce the primordial energy.
Its power was extremely strong; it forcibly broke through the primordial energy, and even the barrier of the soul world could not stop it.
The Soul Gem on the Cataclysmic Scepter shone brightly, instantly condensing into an earthy yellow vortex at the gap.
The Soul Gem, as if it had encountered an unparalleled delicacy, swallowed the malice completely, leaving not a trace.
"What was that?" Lin Moyu breathed a slight sigh of relief; the malice he had just felt threatened.
Without the Soul Gem, he had no idea what would happen next.
ADVERTISEMENTHongmeng Gem said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a spirit of filth."
Lin Moyu was curious. "Tell me more details."
The Primordial Gem said, "Everything has yin and yang, emptiness and fullness. This applies not only to heaven and earth, but also to the forbidden zones of life and the walls of heaven and earth. The forbidden zones of life represent death, while the walls of heaven and earth represent life."
But even within the barrier of heaven and earth lies the possibility of destruction.
"This attribute of destruction becomes the spirit of filth. The spirit of filth is not a specific thing; it is a will, a trace of spirituality..."
"It attaches itself to some of the primordial treasures of heaven and earth, entering various realms. These primordial treasures, nurtured by heaven and earth and infused with the primordial energy, become extremely powerful and extremely..."
"They possess wisdom, but also a bloodlust, often unleashing a great calamity upon the world. This calamity is sometimes the second great calamity of the world, the source of all life in the world."
"But not every world that obtains the primordial treasure will receive this kind of treasure. I have roughly counted, and only about one-third of the worlds will receive this treatment."
"It is extremely rare for a spirit of filth to attach itself to such a rare treasure. I did not expect to find a trace of it here."
"But with us here, Master, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Lin Moyu asked, "What would have happened to me if you hadn't been there?"
The Primordial Gem said, "The filthy spirit will pollute the soul, making it no longer pure, and it will develop a liking for killing. Over time, the master will become a person who doesn't recognize his own family and only knows how to kill, and may even slaughter the entire world."
"Such things have happened before. The terror of the corrupted spirits is something that even the strongest beings would find troublesome."
Suddenly his voice rose, "I know why the Azure Dragon didn't merge it with the heavens and earth. It's because there are unclean spirits inside. Once it merges with the heavens and earth, who knows what those unclean spirits might do, or even corrupt his soul."
"Normally, the best course of action would be to abandon this extraordinary treasure, but the Azure Dragon is clearly unwilling to do so.
Therefore, he uses the core of heaven and earth to suppress the corrupt spirit, and at the same time, he can use the extraordinary treasure to extend the lifespan of heaven and earth.
It's a really good method."
Lin Moyu said, "This method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. I think it would be best to let the Soul Gem swallow it."
The Primordial Gem said, "That's right. For Little Soul, this is an unparalleled delicacy. Little Soul loves this kind of pure consciousness to the extreme."
Having cleansed himself of the impure spirits, Lin Moyu refined the leaves.
Gradually, the leaves began to glow, leaving behind a soul imprint that belonged only to Lin Moyu.
As messages came from the leaf, Lin Moyu realized that the Azure Dragon had never refined it at all.
Because of the existence of the spirit of filth, the Azure Dragon can only utilize its outermost power, while the Ring Dragon has no idea about its core power.
Lin Moyu also knew the name of this leaf: "The Leaf of the Primordial Spirit Tree..."
