Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3180: Going to Meet the Uninvited Guest

Su Li indeed couldn’t see the difference between the three Azure Cloud Roads, but since Lin Moyu said so, he must have seen it.

Su Li humbly asked, “Please enlighten me, Mr. Lin.”

Lin Moyu said, “Of the three roads, one leads directly out, to the exit of the ancestral land.”

“Another also leads to the exit, but before leaving, one will receive some insignificant rewards.”

“Among the three roads, only one leads to where the ancestral land spirit is, which is the core area of the ancestral land.”

“If you try to connect the three Azure Cloud Roads with the direction of the origin spirit vein, you’ll find that except for the road leading to the core area, the other two head towards the branches of the origin spirit vein.”

“So we just need to find the direction of the main vein of the origin spirit vein to know which road to choose.”

“As for whether we’ll step into empty air at the end, that’s just a test of destiny.”

Lin Moyu descended to the ground, his feet touching the earth. He extended his spiritual perception to the extreme, beginning to sense the direction of the origin spirit vein.

Su Li watched with curiosity, his eyes unblinking.

What Lin Moyu was doing now seemed incredible to Su Li.

The origin spirit vein was hidden underground, intertwined and extremely complex.

Even if one knew of the existence of the origin spirit vein, it would be impossible to understand its direction.

To figure it out would require some special methods and a vast amount of time.

The entire process would take hundreds of years, and the higher-level the origin spirit vein, the longer it would take.

Only special spirit beasts like the Heaven Devouring Rat could understand the direction of the origin spirit vein in a short time.

But Lin Moyu himself possessed an origin spirit vein, so he had some understanding of them.

Moreover, he had encountered multiple origin spirit veins and had a certain degree of understanding of origin spirit veins of all sizes.

The saying goes, “All things come from the same source.” No matter how the form of the origin spirit vein changes, its main form won’t deviate much.

It must have a main vein, and the power of the main vein must be stronger than the branches.

So Lin Moyu, with his keen spiritual perception, had a good chance of finding the main vein.

He carefully sensed the origin spirit vein, looking for the spirit veins corresponding to the three Azure Cloud Roads.

Comparing them to each other, after a moment, Lin Moyu basically determined which Azure Cloud Road corresponded to the strongest part of the origin spirit vein.

The strongest one was likely the main vein, which would be the correct path.

But this alone wasn’t enough to be completely certain.

Lin Moyu raised both hands and began to draw runes.

Runes formed at his fingertips one by one, floating in mid-air, shining brightly.

Su Li was stunned again. He never imagined that Lin Moyu would know runes.

“I didn’t expect Mr. Lin to be a rune master as well.”

In the Origin Continent, rune masters weren’t uncommon.

Even among beast races, there were quite a few. Rune masters could do some amazing things using runes.

Some powerful rune masters could even use runes in battle, and the power of runes was no less than some spells.

But beast race rune masters were somewhat different from human rune masters.

Beast race rune masters’ understanding of runes basically came from bloodline inheritance.

Unlike human rune masters, who learned and researched runes themselves, eventually mastering them.

Comparatively, human rune masters started at a lower point but mastered runes more comprehensively and had a broader future.

Beast race rune masters started at a higher point and progressed quickly, but their upper limit was lower, unable to compare with human rune masters.

Su Li had seen some beast races with rune bloodlines and had also dealt with human rune masters.

Comparing those rune masters with Lin Moyu, he found that whether beast race or human rune masters, they were far inferior to Lin Moyu.

When Lin Moyu drew runes, it felt completely natural, as if he wasn’t drawing profound runes at all, but simply painting or writing.

Most crucially, Lin Moyu used both hands simultaneously, drawing completely different runes with each hand, without any interference between them.

Su Li watched with admiration, his eyes full of respect. Lin Moyu had once again broken his understanding.

Lin Moyu quickly drew hundreds of runes, which surrounded him, floating freely.

Then Lin Moyu waved his hand, and the hundreds of runes quickly combined to form three rune formations.

These three formations were identical, with no differences.

Su Li murmured, “Most human rune masters are also formation masters. I should have known that Mr. Lin’s attainment in formations must also be strong.”

“Mr. Lin is truly a prodigy. In less than three thousand years, he’s not only cultivated to the third-level Dao Venerable realm but also achieved such accomplishments in runes and formations.”

Su Li was completely in awe of Lin Moyu, thinking that when he was three thousand years old, he had just become a Dao Venerable, far inferior to Lin Moyu.

The three formations descended onto the three Azure Cloud Roads, which immediately burst into dazzling light.

The origin spirit vein beneath the Azure Cloud Roads was activated by the formations, and powerful streams of origin force burst out from underground.

At the same time, mist rose in Lin Moyu’s eyes as he observed the destiny of the three Azure Cloud Roads.

All things, from a speck of dust to the infinite Dao, have their own destiny.

The Azure Cloud Roads were no exception. They also had their own destiny, and the road connected to the main vein would naturally have stronger destiny.

By activating the power of the origin spirit vein, he could distinguish their strength.

Combined with observing their destiny, he could determine their superiority.

With these two methods combined, Lin Moyu immediately locked onto the correct path.

Lin Moyu beckoned to Su Li, “I’ve found it. Let’s go!”

He walked towards the Azure Cloud Road on the left. Su Li didn’t doubt Lin Moyu’s judgment at all and immediately followed.

Now he completely trusted Lin Moyu, believing that any decision Lin Moyu made wouldn’t be wrong.

Stepping onto the Azure Cloud Road, an invisible force descended. Lin Moyu’s body sank slightly. He knew that the rules of the Azure Cloud Road prohibited flying; they couldn’t fly here.

At the moment he stepped onto the Azure Cloud Road, the way back disappeared, and spatial barriers appeared on both sides.

He had no way back and could only advance along the Azure Cloud Road, which was only ten meters wide.

The rules in the Azure Cloud Road came from the Celestial Fox clan’s ancestor. The rules were strong, and Lin Moyu couldn’t resist them without using his full power.

Lin Moyu didn’t bother to resist and simply followed the rules.

He said softly, “I judged earlier that the invader’s first step was to pollute the origin spirit vein. The Azure Cloud Road is also built along the main vein of the origin spirit vein, so it might have been polluted by the opponent as well.”

“If so, the rules inside must have changed. You need to be careful.”

Su Li nodded, “I understand. Mr. Lin, please be careful too.”

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, “Let’s go. Let’s meet the ancestral land spirit and that uninvited guest.”

The two advanced quickly on the Azure Cloud Road. At first, there were no tests on the road. The tests would only appear after entering the clouds and mist.

In the past, the Azure Cloud Road at most had the risk of stepping into empty air, losing the chance to be recognized by the ancestral land spirit, but there was no danger.

But now, it was hard to say.

Soon, they completed the first half of the Azure Cloud Road and entered the clouds and mist.

Steps began to appear ahead, and the Azure Cloud Road started to climb upwards.

The moment they stepped onto the first step, Lin Moyu smiled, “It’s as I thought. What’s being tested is destiny.”
