Chapter 3688: 3688 Chapter 3688: Lin Moyu Learned a Lesson Lin Moyu’s soul flew through the Void Realm, and as his realm improved, his connection to his soul world grew stronger. Now, in the Golden Furnace Great Soul Domain, he could clearly sense his soul world from any corner, even transmitting some information. He flew towards an unknown direction, pondering the previous issues. "In over a hundred years, using the Seeking Realm Symbol, I’ve found sixty worlds and clashed with eight Dao Lords. None of these worlds met my requirements." Lin Moyu realized that the worlds he sought were too rare, so he had to consider the third method. Apart from natural evolution and absorbing world crystals, he had another way to evolve his Great Thousand Worlds—by evolving enough Great Daos within it. Great Daos were the inevitable result of a world’s growth and evolution, determining all the rules in the world. Normally, the stronger a world was, the stronger its Great Daos would be. Conversely, stronger Great Daos could also nourish a world, making it more robust. When unable to absorb enough world crystals, enhancing the Great Daos within the world was another viable option. Lin Moyu already had a method to do this. In his Great Thousand Worlds, there were many illusory bodies carrying the Great Dao insights he had gained from the Origin Ancestral Land. These insights were brought into the Great Thousand Worlds to accelerate the evolution of the Great Daos. Additionally, there were some liches that also carried Great Daos, helping the Great Thousand Worlds evolve more Great Daos. Compared to the illusory bodies, the liches carried more pure and powerful Great Daos. Previously, Lin Moyu was satisfied with his approach, but now he realized it was far from enough. Lin Moyu concluded his shortcomings: "The number of Great Daos is insufficient; there are too few Great Daos, whether they are from the Origin Continent or branch Great Daos." "The Great Daos in the Great Thousand Worlds are not strong enough; I need to find a way to enhance them." "Relying solely on my own insights won’t work; the fastest method should be to use elemental liches." Having clarified his thoughts, Lin Moyu knew what he needed to do next. He would utilize the properties of elemental liches to strengthen his Great Daos. Before that, he had to find suitable materials to summon elements. The materials couldn’t be of a low level; they had to be at least at the Great Dao realm, or the carried Great Daos would be insufficient, and evolution would remain slow. Moreover, after using elemental liches to evolve Great Daos, he would have to give up those liches. The number of elemental liches was limited; even now, as a third-tier soul Great Dao realm cultivator, he could only possess thirty at a time. The external Great Dao realms on the Origin Continent must have suitable Great Dao realm materials, but he couldn’t access them yet. So, Lin Moyu turned his attention to the Void Realm and other worlds. The Void Realm also had Great Dao realm materials, though they were scarce. He needed to find a way to enter other worlds and locate suitable materials without invading or engaging in a Great Dao contest. He wanted to find a suitable method. As Lin Moyu’s mind moved slightly, some elemental liches in the Great Thousand Worlds dispersed. Their powers transformed into Great Daos within the Great Thousand Worlds, and the positions of the elemental liches were vacated. The elemental liches that had helped him greatly were now abandoned, and Lin Moyu felt a pang of reluctance. However, he had no choice; sometimes sacrifices were necessary for further progress. Over a hundred years, Lin Moyu had found many worlds, some strong and some weak. In the stronger worlds, there were Dao Lords, and he had clashed with several of them. Since it wasn’t a Great Dao contest, they hadn’t fought to the death. However, none of these Dao Lords were easy to talk to, and it was impossible to form friendships. Those Dao Lords knew that they came from different worlds, and at their level, a final battle was inevitable. Such friendships were pointless. Lin Moyu quickly found another world, one he had visited four years ago. Back then, he encountered a Dao Lord who wasn’t human but a lion-like humanoid from a special species. In the Void Realm, there were countless worlds, and while humans dominated most of them, other species were also numerous. Lin Moyu wasn’t surprised by this. This time, he returned and met the lion-like Dao Lord again. Lin Moyu waved his hand to dispel the chaotic mist, gazing at the Dao Lord from ten thousand meters away. Since they weren’t enemies, and the Origin Continent’s Great Dao power couldn’t reach here, they could communicate through their souls. "You’re back!" The lion-like Dao Lord’s voice echoed in Lin Moyu’s ear. Lin Moyu spoke calmly: "Lin Moyu greets you, Dao friend. May I ask how you are addressed?" His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, calm as water, because he didn’t know the Dao Lord’s temperament or the customs of that world. In some worlds, smiling could be seen as a challenge, while being fierce might be a sign of friendship. Without knowing the customs, it was better to show no expression. The lion-like Dao Lord sized up Lin Moyu: "You and I come from different worlds. One day, we will have a battle. Why bother knowing each other’s names?" Lin Moyu replied: "Fate is unpredictable; who knows if we’ll be friends or enemies in the future? Even if we become enemies, it doesn’t hinder our friendship now." After a moment of contemplation, he continued: "I am Jin Shi, the Golden Lion." The conversation finally made progress, and with this beginning, the rest would be easier to discuss. Lin Moyu asked: "Golden Lion Dao friend, may I ask why you guard the outside of your world? I have no hostile intentions towards your world; I’m just curious." Along his journey, Lin Moyu had encountered several worlds where Dao Lords guarded the outside. He didn’t understand why they did this, as any invasion from the Void Realm would naturally alert all Dao Lords in the world. Moreover, such invasions from the Void Realm weren’t the greatest threats; true invasions came from the real world. However, several Dao Lords did the same thing, so there must be a reason. Lin Moyu asked this question both to understand the reason and to build rapport for his future plans. The Golden Lion Dao Lord looked at Lin Moyu: "You don’t know? Doesn’t your world have Dao Lords guarding it?" Lin Moyu shook his head: "No, please enlighten me." The Golden Lion Dao Lord observed Lin Moyu: "You’re only a third-tier soul; not knowing is normal. It seems your world isn’t strong enough yet." Lin Moyu remained silent, implicitly acknowledging this. The Origin Continent was strong enough, with many Dao Lords, but the Golden Lion Dao Lord’s words didn’t require him to show weakness. Sometimes, admitting weakness could lead to greater benefits and make the Golden Lion Dao Lord less cautious. The Golden Lion Dao Lord explained: "Great Dao contests often mark the beginning of world conflicts. Dao Lords guard the outside of their worlds to prepare. If a strong enemy comes, we can take our world away to avoid disaster." "This world is strong enough, but there must be even stronger worlds. It’s a serious matter that requires caution." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺 Listening to the Golden Lion Dao Lord’s explanation, Lin Moyu understood. He bowed towards the Golden Lion Dao Lord: "Thank you, Dao friend, for your guidance. I have learned a lesson."
