Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3262: It’s Not That There’s No Rush, It’s That They Don’t Qualify

After walking for a moment, Lin Moyu saw the dragon race elders.

They had transformed into their true forms, circling in the air.

These divine dragons were all elders of the dragon race, each at the seventh level Dao Venerable realm or above, numbering around a hundred.

The dragon race had many powerful experts, and this wasn’t all of them.

Great elders at the ninth level Dao Venerable realm like Ao Luo were much fewer, only about a dozen.

These elders transformed into their true bodies, circling in the air to form a special formation.

Long Wei explained, “Every time we open the ancestral grounds, we need an enormous amount of power, as well as many rare materials.”

“This formation formed by the elders can refine these materials and activate the ancestral grounds.”

Lin Moyu nodded. He had already seen a large amount of materials floating in the center of the formation formed by the elders.

These materials had all kinds of attributes, not just the five elements. Almost any attribute one could think of could be found in the corresponding materials here.

Not only were the attributes complete, but each item was at the seventh level Dao Venerable realm or above.

Any single piece taken out could sell for a high price. They were all excellent materials for forging artifacts.

The elders spat out dragon breath, which intertwined and began refining these materials.

All the materials melted in the dragon breath, turning into globules of liquid that began to fuse together.

Some materials with different attributes didn’t naturally fuse, but the formation formed by the divine dragons had a strong suppressive effect, forcibly combining all attributes together.

If there were an artifact refiner here, they would certainly cry out in anguish. Doing this was simply a waste of resources, squandering so many good materials.

The dragon race didn’t care about this. They forcibly combined the materials together, forming a liquid with infinite colors.

Then dozens of elders worked together to control this liquid, making it fly forward.

Lin Moyu observed the dragon race’s method of opening the ancestral grounds. He didn’t understand this method, which should be a secret technique unique to the dragon race.

However, he realized that even if someone came here, if they didn’t know the method, they probably couldn’t open the ancestral grounds.

Layer upon layer of obstacles seemed to be for protecting the ancestral grounds.

Lin Moyu also noticed that among the elders present, one was particularly special.

He stood in the middle of several great elders, also in human form, not appearing particularly special.

Lin Moyu still recognized him. They had seen each other a few days ago.

At that time they had gazed at each other from afar. Now they were formally meeting.

Upon seeing him, Lin Moyu confirmed his judgment. The other party was indeed injured, and quite severely.

With a thought, he activated his Undead Eye. Lin Moyu saw his soul.

The soul flame flickered violently. His soul flame was extremely large, surpassing the Dao Venerable realm, certainly at the pseudo-Great Dao realm without doubt.

However, the soul flame had many missing parts. The soul had been severely damaged, with almost a third missing just from looking at the gaps.

In this condition, the fact that he could maintain consciousness was already remarkable.

“No wonder in this state, even if he can stay conscious, his power would be severely diminished.”

“If he forced himself to act, it would make his soul’s injuries even worse.”

“Unless it’s the dragon race’s final moment of crisis, he definitely won’t move.”

Lin Moyu looked at the soul flame, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He discovered that the other party’s soul flame was collapsing at an extremely slow rate.

Though the speed was extremely slow, the trend of collapse hadn’t changed. As long as it couldn’t be reversed, he would die in over ten thousand years.

Soul injuries were very difficult to treat. If the injury was light, there might still be a way.

If the injury was severe, it would be troublesome. Even a Great Dao realm being like the Three Ancestors would be helpless.

But he happened to have a method to treat him.

Spirit flowers were useless for Great Dao realm beings, but for pseudo-Great Dao realm beings, they still had some effect, more or less.

If quality wasn’t enough, quantity could make up for it. At worst, he could use more. It should be enough to cure him.

However, Lin Moyu wouldn’t take the initiative to say so.

Everything should have a reason. Only then could karma be calculated clearly. The dao of karma was too troublesome. Lin Moyu had learned from the great world not to easily become entangled in karma, otherwise there would certainly be trouble.

Among the various illusory Great Daos, the karma Great Dao was the most mysterious and unpredictable.

Following Long Wei over, Long Wei introduced Lin Moyu, “You probably already know these elders. This is Great Elder Long Sheng. Elder Lin, this should be your first time meeting him.”

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, “Lin Moyu greets Great Elder Long Sheng.”

Long Sheng also bowed slightly to Lin Moyu, “Long Sheng greets Elder Lin. Elder Lin is already an honorary elder of our clan. We can be considered family, so there’s no need to be so formal. You can just call me Long Sheng.”

Long Sheng’s attitude towards Lin Moyu was very polite, not showing any arrogance of a Great Dao realm being at all.

Lin Moyu naturally wouldn’t stand on ceremony, “Indeed, we can be considered family. There’s no need to be too formal.”

Suddenly, brilliant light filled the sky. The elders brought the liquid refined from various rare materials to a spot in the void.

The formation’s suppression of the materials suddenly disappeared. Then the attribute powers in this material fully erupted. Various powers conflicted with each other, forming a violent explosion.

“How beautiful!” Little Mei watched the explosion as if watching an extremely brilliant fireworks show.

One explosion after another, continuous and unending, blossoming with myriad colors, mesmerizing.

In the brilliant explosion, various attribute powers shot out in all directions like a hundred flowers blooming, distorting and shattering space. Then a spatial barrier appeared.

This spatial barrier absorbed the power from the explosion, revealing countless divine runes on its surface.

The dragon race had a long history, existing since prehistoric times, so Lin Moyu wasn’t surprised at all to see divine runes in the dragon race’s ancestral grounds.

Long Wei explained, “This screen is called the Dragon God Wall. It was personally forged by the Dragon God back then. Without the correct method, one can’t open the Dragon God Wall and enter the ancestral grounds.”

At this point, Great Elder Long Sheng added, “Even a Great Dao realm being would have difficulty forcibly breaking through the Dragon God Wall.”

Lin Moyu exclaimed in admiration, “The Dragon God indeed had great skill, using divine runes to form an array. Different divine runes require different attribute powers to activate. Without the correct method, it’s indeed impossible to enter.”

Long Sheng’s eyes lit up, “Elder Lin knows about divine runes?”

Lin Moyu nodded slightly, “I’ve seen them before.”

Long Sheng continued asking, “What are Elder Lin’s views on divine runes?”

Lin Moyu said, “In my humble opinion, divine runes should contain various mysteries of arrays and runes. In that era, just using divine runes could perfectly arrange arrays, unlike now where runes, artifacts, and arrays need to be combined.”

Long Sheng smiled, “Elder Lin is a heaven-sent talent. This question has troubled others for who knows how many years, yet Elder Lin saw through it in one sentence.”

“Since Elder Lin has researched divine runes, I have a matter I’d like to trouble Elder Lin with.”

“This matter may involve some danger. Elder Lin can refuse, but if you complete it, it will definitely greatly benefit Elder Lin.”

Lin Moyu looked at this severely injured pseudo-Great Dao realm divine dragon, his eyes narrowing slightly, “Please tell me about it.”

Long Sheng said, “There’s no rush. After Elder Lin enters the ancestral grounds and bathes in the ancestral blood, I’ll explain the details to Elder Lin.”

Lin Moyu heard the meaning in his words. It wasn’t really that there was no rush, but that it wasn’t convenient now.

This matter was something these elders probably didn’t qualify to know about.

Lin Moyu went along with his words, “Alright, you can tell me then.”

As they spoke, all the divine runes on the Dragon God Wall lit up.

With a rumbling sound, a huge entrance appeared on the Dragon God Wall.

Long Wei said, “We can go in now. Elder Lin, please.”
