Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3174: The Ancestral Land Occupied by Death

Su Li had entered the ancestral land several times and was quite familiar with it. As Su Mou’s grandson, he could be fully trusted. Being an eighth-level Dao Venerable, he was also the most suitable candidate.

Before the ancestral land issue was resolved, Su Mou dared not let any ninth-level Dao Venerables enter. Currently, the Celestial Fox clan only had three ninth-level Dao Venerables left, and they couldn’t afford to lose any more.

Su Li bowed to Lin Moyu, “Su Li greets Mr. Lin.”

Lin Moyu smiled and said, “Thank you for your trouble this time, friend Su Li.”

Su Li quickly replied, “It’s we who are troubling Mr. Lin. How can you say it’s trouble? Mr. Lin, you’re being too polite.”

Lin Moyu turned to Su Mou, “While I’m in the ancestral land, please help me find more information, Clan Leader.”

“Also, I’d like some historical materials about the Origin Continent. Your clan’s records should be quite complete. If possible, please provide me with a copy.”

Su Mou understood Lin Moyu’s meaning, “Rest assured, Mr. Lin. I’ll have someone compile it right away.”

The historical materials Lin Moyu requested didn’t involve the Celestial Fox clan’s secrets. Such information could actually be bought from the Lufen Chamber of Commerce, but Lin Moyu asked them for it to cross-reference.

No single source’s information was complete, nor entirely correct. Only by combining and verifying multiple sources could one obtain relatively accurate results.

The blood in the pool began to boil, and a powerful force burst out, shooting towards the sky. The blood hit the palace ceiling, which emitted a dazzling light, containing the blood. The blood continuously struck the palace, causing thunderous sounds. The space at the impact point shattered layer by layer, forming a passage along the blood flow.

“Mr. Lin, please follow me!” Su Li said, then turned and plunged into the passage first.

Lin Moyu took a step and followed Su Li into the passage.

The passage wasn’t spacious, only wide enough for the two of them. In the spatial tunnel, a force constantly pushed them forward, feeling somewhat similar to teleportation.

Half a minute later, light appeared before Lin Moyu’s eyes. The light instantly expanded, occupying his entire field of vision.

His feet touched solid ground – a grassy field that felt soft. As far as the eye could see, there were vast grasslands and a series of small hills, undulating and extending towards the distance, seemingly endless.

A gentle breeze blew, carrying the scent of fresh grass. It was very refreshing.

If there were some small animals, this would be a beautiful place. Unfortunately, there were no small animals here. Despite the grass everywhere, Lin Moyu still sensed a faint aura of death.

According to the materials Su Mou gave Lin Moyu, this land wasn’t always like this. In the past, the ancestral land had living beings and many small animals. But for some unknown reason, the small animals became fewer and fewer until they completely disappeared.

Su Li stood beside Lin Moyu, “The problem in the ancestral land seems to have worsened.”

Lin Moyu asked, “When was the last time you came in? What was the situation like then?”

Su Li said, “The last time I came in was about two thousand years ago. There were no small animals then, but I could still feel that the grass had vitality.”

“But this time, I sense death. Perhaps in a few thousand years, even this grassland will be gone.”

Lin Moyu casually plucked a blade of grass, roots and all. It still looked green, but the roots were somewhat rotten.

Lin Moyu said softly, “Perhaps it won’t take a few thousand years.”

Su Li said very sincerely, “I hope Mr. Lin can help us solve the crisis in the ancestral land.”

Lin Moyu said, “I promised Clan Leader Su that I would do my best.”

Lin Moyu looked around. No matter which direction he looked, the scenery was exactly the same, and he had no idea which way to go.

Among so many directions, only one was correct, and all others were wrong. This was also the first test after entering the ancestral land – finding the right direction.

There was no guidance, and one had to rely on luck to make a choice.

Lin Moyu smiled and asked, “How did you do it before?”

Su Li said, “A long time ago, there was actually a method. We could observe the small animals.”

“We would go in the direction where there were more small animals.”

“But now, without small animals, we can only rely on luck.”

Lin Moyu shook his head, “Luck is indeed important, but sometimes you need to look at methods and approaches. Luck can only be the icing on the cake.”

His mind stirred, and the surrounding space distorted as skeleton generals flew out.

The skeleton generals flew in all directions, quickly forming a map in Lin Moyu’s mind. With enough skeleton generals covering all directions, there was no need to gamble on luck.

Su Li stood there stunned, “Are these Mr. Lin’s puppets?”

Lin Moyu said, “You can think of them that way. Let them scout the path, and we’ll quickly find the correct route.”

Su Li was dumbfounded. Originally, he wanted to use his experience to help Lin Moyu, but now it seemed unnecessary.

The grassland was deathly silent. The skeleton generals used their undead eyes but didn’t see a single living being along the way.

A moment later, Lin Moyu suddenly asked, “Is the correct path a valley?”

Su Li quickly nodded, “Yes, it’s a valley. We call it the Ten Thousand Flower Valley because there are many flowers in it.”

“Then we’re not mistaken.” Lin Moyu said as he flew forward, with Su Li hurriedly following.

They flew over the grassland for at least 100,000 li before seeing the valley.

The valley’s terrain was lower than the grassland, like a basin.

From a distance, the entire valley looked like a giant beast curled up on the grassland.

The skeleton generals stood in front of the valley, unable to enter. A force spread out from the valley, forming an invisible wall blocking the way.

From outside the valley, one could see many different kinds of flowers inside, hence its name Ten Thousand Flower Valley.

The valley seemed like the end of the map, impossible to cross.

In Lin Moyu’s view, anyone could find the valley. Even if they went in the wrong direction initially, they would eventually find it, just taking more time.

In practical terms, people with good luck could find it accurately, while those with less luck might need to search a few more times before finally finding it.

The so-called first test wasn’t much of a test at all.

Su Li looked at Lin Moyu with admiration, “Mr. Lin is indeed extraordinary, finding the Ten Thousand Flower Valley so easily.”

Lin Moyu said, “It’s just the first step.”

Su Li immediately said, “The beginning is always the hardest. I believe the following tasks won’t be difficult for Mr. Lin either.”

The two came to the valley entrance. Lin Moyu said, “According to the materials Clan Leader Su provided, to enter the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, we need to cultivate a flower.”

Su Li nodded, “We call this flower the Flower of Destiny. Different Flowers of Destiny will also make subsequent tests different.”

Lin Moyu asked, “So if we cultivate different Flowers of Destiny, will we be separated in the valley?”

Su Li said, “Yes, the tests in the valley must be completed independently by each person, but after passing through the valley, we’ll reunite.”

“Then let’s go!” Lin Moyu walked to the front of the valley and immediately encountered the invisible wall guarding it.

Lin Moyu followed the instructions in the materials, gently moving his soul power to communicate with the valley.

The next moment, an unopened flower flew out from the valley and came to his hand.

This flower was the Flower of Destiny. It would absorb his luck and then bloom.

Su Li explained, “This is the Flower of Destiny. It will absorb Mr. Lin’s luck. The better the luck, the faster it will bloom…”
