Chapter 1288: 1288 **Chapter 1288: Need to Properly Study the Calamity Staff** The Calamity Staff radiated brilliant light, and the soul gem on it shone brilliantly. A purple glow enveloped Lin Moyu’s entire soul world. The cracked crystal barrier was quickly repaired. Moreover, a layer of purple radiance also spread over the crystal barrier, easily blocking the skull’s attack. The purple light surged again, enveloping the skull. The skull suddenly trembled and shattered with a thunderous sound. In that instant, Lin Moyu regained control of his body. The wings of the undead instantly spread, and he shot straight up into the sky. At an altitude of a thousand meters above the gray flames, there was an inconspicuous small hole. Lin Moyu had noticed this hole earlier when the fiery meteors fell. The hole appeared hidden in the sky, not very obvious. Later, Lin Moyu observed it discreetly. His soul force probed into it and sensed an aura from the outside world coming from within the hole. This was the exit of the ancient tomb. Teleportation symbols would likely be useless here. Lin Moyu didn’t even try them. If teleportation symbols worked, those god-kings wouldn’t have been trapped and become cemetery cleaners. So after entering this place, Lin Moyu had been searching for the exit. It wasn’t until the fiery meteor shower appeared that the huge hole in the sky became visible. That was an image from ancient times, but it was also a real scene. The hole shrank rapidly during the fiery meteor shower but didn’t disappear completely. Lin Moyu didn’t hesitate and charged straight into the hole. The scene changed, and when his vision cleared, Lin Moyu found himself at the bottom of the third passage, in front of the high wall. He was facing outwards, with the thick black fog behind him. Lin Moyu didn’t think twice and immediately took out a teleportation symbol and activated it. This was the right time to use a teleportation symbol. The teleportation symbol emitted a gentle glow, enveloping Lin Moyu. Then Lin Moyu’s figure disappeared from the ancient tomb. At the center of the cemetery, on top of the mountain. The undying flame was still burning fiercely. The soul flame at the center of the undying flame began to pulsate rhythmically, as if a consciousness was gradually awakening. "The staff!" "The staff!" A murmuring voice came out, like the sleepy mumbling of someone not fully awake. As the voice came out, the bones on the huge throne also began to glow. Black Water of Death dripped out from the undying flame, falling onto the bones, causing the bones to rapidly recover and revive, at a faster rate than before. Outside the ancient tomb, Lin Moyu appeared abruptly. He then took out the Battle King Tower, transforming into a stream of light and flying away into the distance. At this moment, he had no other thoughts except wanting to leave the ancient tomb. If that skeleton general chased after him, he would only have a path to death. It wasn’t until he had flown billions of kilometers away that he finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time, if it weren’t for the Calamity Staff suddenly taking action, he would have truly been in danger. Fighting in the soul world was even more perilous than in the real world. Although his undead army was numerous, he had no confidence in dealing with the skull manifested by the skeleton general’s consciousness, even if it was just his most instinctual consciousness. Lin Moyu realized that he didn’t understand the Calamity Staff or the soul gem on it at all. He only knew it was a supreme treasure on par with the Great World Runes, but he had no idea what its specific functions were or how to use it. The soul gem seemed to be able to enhance soul defenses, but he was unaware of its other functions. This time, it was the Calamity Staff that took the initiative to attack, helping him escape danger. "It seems I need to find time to properly study it." "But my current realm is too low. I don’t know if I can study a treasure of this level." Lin Moyu pondered in his heart. All cultivators knew that the level of a treasure wasn’t necessarily better the higher it was; it had to match one’s own level. Just like a True God would find it difficult to wield a treasure meant for the God-King realm. Even if they could use it, they couldn’t bring out much of its power. The level of a treasure had to match one’s own level. Lin Moyu knew the Calamity Staff’s level was very high, and his own realm was far from enough to wield the Calamity Staff, so he had never studied it in depth. Lin Moyu also thought about the scenes he had witnessed in the ancient tomb and his various guesses. He pondered whether he should tell Zhu Qiwu about what happened inside. After much thought, Lin Moyu finally decided to tell Zhu Qiwu about the events in the ancient tomb. As for what Zhu Qiwu would do, that was not something Lin Moyu could control. At least they would be prepared. If the skeleton army in the ancient tomb truly revived, the human race would also be prepared. Before he knew it, Lin Moyu had returned to the 7-10 forward base, then transferred through Fortress No. 7 to Fortress No. 1. Only Fortress No. 1 had the Human Emperor Network, which could directly send messages to Zhu Qiwu. The message contained only two words: "Something happened." As long as the message was sent, it would eventually reach Zhu Qiwu. Lin Moyu didn’t care about the process. Lin Moyu wasn’t worried that Zhu Qiwu wouldn’t respond to him. As the saying goes, "The fewer the words, the bigger the matter." Zhu Qiwu would definitely come to find him. Lin Moyu then went directly to the Mission Center to turn in his mission. The fourth mission was completed, and he should have chosen a combat-oriented mission. But the fourth mission wasn’t combat-oriented, an incorrect choice. However, Lin Moyu didn’t care much about it. He believed his mission score wouldn’t be low. Even if this mission didn’t earn extra points, the other missions would make up for it. Entering the Divine City was his goal, but this goal could be achieved in multiple ways. Lin Moyu was no longer as cautious as when he first entered the battlefield. As his combat strength grew stronger and his level increased, Lin Moyu’s confidence also grew. He was well aware of the results pursued by the various human race regulations. If even his level of strength couldn’t enter the Divine City, then probably no one from the human race could enter the Divine City. He had seen geniuses from the Divine City, like the Sword Dao Immortal and Xu Jianxing, who were born in the Divine City. They were indeed geniuses, at least capable of fighting across levels or even realms. But compared to himself, they still seemed to be lacking. Lin Moyu was now confident that he could instantly kill Xu Jianxing. If he and the Sword Dao Immortal were at the same realm, he could similarly defeat the Sword Dao Immortal. So in terms of missions, he could relax a bit and didn’t need to pursue perfection. After waiting in line, he smoothly turned in his mission and received 5000 points. There were no additional rewards this time, and Lin Moyu didn’t continue to take on new missions. During the time he was turning in the mission, he had already received a message from Zhu Qiwu: "Come to the military area." After leaving the Mission Center, he saw Zhu Qiwu standing outside. People came and went around them, seemingly ignoring Zhu Qiwu’s presence as if he didn’t exist. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 Lin Moyu wasn’t surprised. He stepped forward, greeting him, "Greetings, senior." Zhu Qiwu asked, "Is it about the ancient tomb?" Lin Moyu nodded slightly, "Yes." He wasn’t surprised that Zhu Qiwu knew. With Zhu Qiwu’s authority, he only needed to check to know what mission Lin Moyu had taken and could deduce what Lin Moyu had done. Zhu Qiwu’s expression was also somewhat grave. "Follow me." Lin Moyu remained silent and followed Zhu Qiwu into the military area.
