Chapter 2288: 2288 xChapter 2288: How Could I Be So Stupid? The Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable had completely bid farewell to the great world, and the last traces of his existence had been erased. This was what the Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable himself said; he had completely left. Unexpectedly, here, Lin Moyu could still hear this guy’s voice. "I explored the mysteries of life, creating living beings through runes, hoping to use this to ascend to the Dao Venerable realm." "Unfortunately, I failed. The path to the Dao Venerable realm in the great world was blocked, and the great world lost its hope." "I had no choice but to leave and seek a new path." "If future generations are fortunate enough to obtain my inheritance, perhaps they can glimpse the ultimate Dao I pursued through this rune spirit." After listening, Lin Moyu couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. He hadn’t expected that the rune spirit had another meaning for the Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable. The Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable attempted to create true living beings, pursuing the Dao Venerable realm. Whether it was the ancient rune warriors or the rune spirit, they were all part of his pursuit of the Dao. Moreover, according to the Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable, the rune spirit was the ultimate product of his pursuit, even more advanced than the ancient rune warriors. Unfortunately, he still failed. This path was blocked, and he had to seek another way. Later, the ancient war broke out, and the great world was severely damaged, completely blocking his hope of ascending to the Dao Venerable realm. The Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable had no choice but to leave the great world and continue pursuing his Dao in the realm sea. As for the rune spirit, since this path was blocked, it was of no use to keep it. But after all, it was his painstaking effort, and he couldn’t bear to destroy it, so he left it behind. Lin Moyu had never thought of following the Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable’s path. For him, the existence of the rune spirit was just to enhance the combat power of the ancient rune warriors. Now the rune spirit was still asleep; it was not time to awaken it. Lin Moyu closed the box again. When the ancient rune warriors were refined, it would be the day the rune spirit awakened. No matter what the Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable had done, at least what he left behind was useful to Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu thought that if he ever met him, he would thank him first and then give him a beating. Of course, that was assuming he could win. There were two ancient boxes left, both left by the mysterious master. Lin Moyu believed that the items left by the mysterious master must be better than those left by the Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable. With a bit of anticipation, Lin Moyu examined the ancient box. The runes on the ancient box flowed, and as Lin Moyu observed, his brows slightly furrowed. "These runes feel more advanced than the Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable’s runes." "The Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable’s runes still have traces to follow, but these runes seem to be naturally formed." Lin Moyu was astonished. The Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable was already the highest achievement in runes in ancient times, unmatched by anyone. But now he saw with his own eyes runes more advanced than those of the Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable. This feeling made him somewhat surprised and incredulous. Lin Moyu felt the runes on the box, "In the great world, the only thing that can surpass the Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable in terms of runes is the great world’s runes themselves." "Could the mysterious master have a connection with the great world’s runes?" "Right, the World-Burning Rune is also a special rune. It seems that the mysterious master also knows runes, and his attainment in runes is even higher than that of the Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable." Previously, unlocking the ancient boxes had been almost effortless for Lin Moyu. This time, however, he found it somewhat challenging. But Lin Moyu had a special feeling for runes. Although the runes on the ancient box were difficult, he was still confident he could unlock them. He studied the runes on the box, entering a state of forgetting both himself and the world. Vaguely, Lin Moyu felt he had touched another level of runes, but it was just a touch. He knew he was still far from this level. Not knowing what to call this level, Lin Moyu named it: Heavenly Formed! It meant naturally formed, a level even the Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable found difficult to reach. After studying for an unknown number of days, Lin Moyu finally gained some understanding of the runes on the ancient box. He tried to draw an extremely complex ancient rune. The ancient rune fell on the box, corresponding exactly with the runes on the box. But the box did not open, and the ancient rune he drew quickly dissipated. Lin Moyu muttered to himself, "The runes are not wrong; something is missing." Thinking of the mysterious master’s methods, Lin Moyu immediately realized what he was missing. The power of void and reality! Or the power of origin! Whether it was the power of void and reality or the power of origin, Lin Moyu could handle both. With a thought, flames rose in the Bone Hell, and a power of void and reality fell into his hand. He began to draw runes. The runes drawn with the power of void and reality emitted a strong aura. Although they were ancient runes, their power almost doubled. Lin Moyu whispered, "Supremes gain the power of origin, surpassing Saints in the essence of power." "And those powerful Supremes understand void and reality, opening the door to the Dao Venerable realm." "Now I have both origin and the understanding of void and reality, yet I am still a Saint. What kind of realm is this?" He found it strange himself, wondering what his realm was, as if he had embarked on a path different from everyone else. The runes fell on the box, and the box immediately emitted a brilliant light. An indescribable vitality surged out, filling the entire rule world. The rule world, already full of vitality, now had its vitality multiplied several times. The World Tree swayed continuously, enjoying this vitality and cheering. As it swayed, the World Tree greedily absorbed this vitality, and countless spirit flowers and fruits on the World Tree seemed to mature. Lin Moyu saw the contents of the box and exclaimed, "A grain of soil!" There was nothing else in the box, just a grain of soil. This grain of soil was only the size of a fingernail, and all the vitality came from it. The released vitality was just a tiny part of it. The vitality contained in this grain of soil was unimaginably strong. Lin Moyu, filled with amazement, muttered to himself, "What kind of soil is this, to have such immense vitality?" "The origin of this soil must be extraordinary, definitely not a product of the great world." "If I guess correctly, it should come from outside the great world, from the realm sea." "Compared to this, the items left by the Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable are far inferior!" In the next second, Lin Moyu felt that comparing it to the Holy Rune Heavenly Venerable’s items was an insult to it. This grain of soil had a natural nobility, even surpassing origin crystals. This made Lin Moyu think of the realm sea, filled with countless opportunities. If even such things could be obtained, how vast must the world outside the great world be? Lin Moyu reached out to take it, but found it incredibly heavy. With his strength, he could destroy stars with a flick of his finger, exerting force of billions of pounds. But he couldn’t lift a grain of soil the size of a fingernail. Lin Moyu, unwilling to give up, activated the Undying Golden Body, unleashing his power, but it still didn’t move. "How can this thing be so heavy!" Lin Moyu couldn’t believe it. At this moment, he heard a rustling sound, and the branches of the World Tree fell beside his ear, rubbing against it. Lin Moyu felt the thoughts of the World Tree and smiled, "What, you want it?" The World Tree rustled, as if saying, "I want it." Lin Moyu extended the box, "If you want it, take it." The World Tree immediately wrapped around the box, placing it at its roots. The entire tree swayed excitedly, its massive trunk trembling continuously. Lin Moyu watched as the World Tree’s roots overturned the box, and the grain of soil fell onto the roots. Lin Moyu slapped his forehead and laughed, "How could I be so stupid!"
