Chapter 3992: 3992 Chapter 3992: The Unmoving Tenth Halo In the small courtyard, Lin Moyu slowly opened his eyes to see the four girls staring at him with wide eyes. Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "What’s wrong?" Little Wu asked curiously, "Father, just now we felt a force fall upon us, as if we were connected to the Origin Continent." Lin Moyu smiled, "It’s not the Origin Continent you’re connected to, but the formation I set up." Little Mei realized something, "Teacher, do you think we might be in danger?" Lin Moyu replied, "Hard to say. Just taking precautions. Don’t ask too much there are things I can’t tell you yet." Little Mei nodded and didn’t press further, knowing Lin Moyu would explain when the time was right. Little Yue leaned in, "Teacher, was that Origin Sword Lord just now the seventy two giant swords stuck in the ground?" Lin Moyu said, "That’s right. Back then, the Origin Sword Lord was a top expert, just half a step from the Dao Lord Realm. His combat strength surpassed first tier souls and could rival some powerful Dao Lords." "After the Origin Catastrophe, the Divine Continent Cauldron was lost. The Origin Sword Lord transformed himself into the seventy two Origin Swords, suppressing the world’s spirit veins so beings could live and cultivate on the continent." Little Yue exclaimed, "So he did a great deed!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂 Lin Moyu chuckled, "Indeed, but he also had his own motives. He probably thought the Divine Continent Cauldron was still in the Origin Continent, and by becoming the seventy two swords, he might get the cauldron. The Divine Continent Cauldron is a supreme treasure that can control the Origin Spirit Veins. If he got it and became a Dao Lord, his combat strength would surpass even the Lord of Hell at that time." Little Wu said, "Too bad the cauldron wasn’t in the Origin Continent anymore." Lin Moyu smiled, "Actually, it was just in a small world he couldn’t find. But even without finding it, after so many years of accumulating merit and fortune, he still became a Dao Lord and a powerful one at that." Little Mist asked, "Master, how do you know all this?" Lin Moyu laughed, "Half of it was told to me, the other half is deduction pretty close to the truth." The Origin Sword Lord’s identity was actually revealed by the Third Ancestor. Years ago, the Three Ancestors infiltrated the Origin Continent in pursuit of the Dao Lord position and learned about the Origin Sword Lord’s deeds. Since their paths didn’t conflict, the Third Ancestor never mentioned him until one day, it came up by chance. As Lin Moyu chatted with Little Mist and the others, part of his consciousness entered his soul world to observe the great gate. After more than a thousand years, the ninth halo was about to fully light up, allowing the gate to be opened in a high level state, just like the Human Sovereign did back then. After talking with the Human Sovereign, Lin Moyu already knew the tenth halo was extremely hard to light. The Human Sovereign tried everything and still had to open the gate after a hundred thousand years, unable to wait any longer. Lin Moyu didn’t have that much time and doubted he could light the tenth halo. If not, he’d just have to wait for the next chance. "Let it be. Nine halos and a high level opening will do." He sighed, preparing himself mentally for this outcome. As he waited, the ninth halo blazed to life, illuminating the gate with dazzling light. The gate creaked, its engravings becoming even more exquisite. Standing before the gate, Lin Moyu pressed his hand against it, and through its immense thickness, he seemed to sense the aura beyond a chaotic blend, as if countless treasures were calling out to him, urging him to open the gate and claim them. Lin Moyu knew this was just an illusion. He floated up and took out a key, inserting it into the gate. Then he tried to retrieve another key, but found he couldn’t. The key from the Lord of Hell had already been used once to find the gate, which had already cost him an opportunity. Now he had a second chance to use the key. So even if he couldn’t light all ten halos this time, he’d have another chance in the future. Time was tight he couldn’t wait a hundred thousand years like the Human Sovereign. In two to three thousand years, the Origin Continent’s world will would awaken. By then, he would have to offer up lives to try for eternity again. The Human Sovereign had said that time flowed differently behind the gate, so he needed to leave enough time to explore that world. He set himself a deadline of five hundred years. If he couldn’t light the tenth halo by then, he’d open the gate with nine. The ninth halo solidified, and Lin Moyu focused on the final halo. Billions of undead servants drew on the Great Thousand World’s power and poured it in, but the tenth halo didn’t budge not a flicker of light. All that power vanished without a trace. He tried detonating Great Dao origin qi, flooding the halo with pure Dao power still nothing. Lin Moyu realized the tenth halo was different from the first nine. "If the tenth halo doesn’t need immense power, then what does it need?" He tried faith power, another pure force, but the result was disappointing the tenth halo remained unmoved. If faith power worked, the Human Sovereign would have discovered it. "It must not be something ordinary. What could it be?" He tried the Immortality Great Dao unique to him, not found in this world or the Great Thousand World. No effect. He tried the Essence of Ancestral Water. No effect. He drew physical Dao power from the Science Dao World and even used technology to charge the halo. No effect. He set up formations, drew down the power of heaven and earth, summoned thunder, even called the wind of annihilation. Still nothing. The tenth halo was like an unbreakable diamond, utterly unmoved no matter what he tried. Lin Moyu felt a headache coming on he’d tried everything, but nothing worked. He even considered smashing the first halo with the Catastrophic Scepter. "What could it be?" He fell deep into thought. In his life, he’d faced many problems and always found a solution, but this time, he was truly stumped. "What could it be?" He looked at the World Tree. "Little Tree, what do you think?" The World Tree appeared, tapped the tenth halo with a branch, and said, "I can’t tell. My power doesn’t work on it either."
