Chapter 3451: The Ancestor’s Words Must Be Heeded

The Nine Heavens Peak Competition had been held many times, but this was the first time a problem occurred.

Even the Dongfang family was at a loss.

Only Lin Moyu knew that the root cause was Dongfang Duantian.

Dongfang Duantian had sealed the eight-star black leopard for many years, constantly requiring enormous power. The power he used came from multiple sources: the Outer Great Dao, Origin spirit veins, the Nine Heavens Peak divine rune formation constantly absorbing power from the outside world, and the power provided during the opening of Nine Heavens Peak every hundred years.

Dongfang Duantian had used almost all available power to seal the eight-star black leopard.

Now that Dongfang Duantian had been received by the Great Dao and left, it was a major change for Nine Heavens Peak. Naturally, Nine Heavens Peak would show various anomalies.

The divine rune formation sending everyone away from Nine Heavens Peak early was already a good outcome.

Lin Moyu saw Jiang Ruoxue in the crowd. She had a smile on her face and didn’t look disappointed or frustrated like some others, clearly having found what she wanted.

Jiang Ruoxue’s fortune was very strong, so her luck naturally wouldn’t be bad. As long as it wasn’t too outrageous, she could basically achieve what she wanted.

After Dongfang Wuding announced the end of the Nine Heavens Peak Competition, many people began to leave.

Lin Moyu felt a gaze full of hostility fixed on him.

Turning to look, he saw Maple Leaf Elder.

This eighth-level elder who had interacted with him in Nine Heavens Peak was full of hostility towards him.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly but didn’t pay attention to him.

There were many people hostile towards him. If he had to deal with them all, he’d surely exhaust himself.

Dongfang Wuding brought Jiang Ruoxue to Lin Moyu’s side. “Young friend Lin, I wonder…”

Lin Moyu said, “Do you want to talk here?”

Dongfang Wuding immediately understood Lin Moyu’s meaning and laughed heartily. “Young friend Lin, please come with me.”

He led Lin Moyu into Broken Sky City, entering the Dongfang family compound. Along the way, the Dongfang family members all addressed Dongfang Wuding as “Ancestor,” showing great respect.

Dongfang Wuding returned to his own courtyard and dismissed everyone before saying, “Young friend Lin, you can speak now.”

Lin Moyu took out the token modified by Dongfang Duantian. “What you want should be in here.”

Dongfang Wuding recognized at a glance that this token was the one he had given to Lin Moyu, but it had been modified.

He knew the token’s origin. Only one person had the ability to modify the token.

Dongfang Wuding immediately became excited, his breathing heavy and his voice slightly trembling. “Is the Ancestor still alive?”

Lin Moyu said, “He is. He has now returned to the Outer Great Dao. Perhaps you won’t be able to see him again in the future.”

Joy spread across Dongfang Wuding’s face. “It’s good that he’s still alive, it’s good!”

For these great families and powers, having an ancestor in the Outer Great Dao was extremely important.

It meant they had support, a connection to their roots.

Dongfang Wuding squeezed out a drop of blood, using the Dongfang family bloodline to activate the token.

The token automatically flew up, hovering in mid-air and emitting golden light. Dongfang Duantian appeared from the golden light.

Upon seeing Dongfang Duantian, Dongfang Wuding’s whole body trembled. He respectfully kowtowed. “Unfilial descendant Dongfang Wuding pays respects to the Ancestor!”

Dongfang Duantian’s voice slowly transmitted: “This Ancestor, with young friend Lin’s help today, has preserved my life and returned to the Great Dao. Young friend Lin is this Ancestor’s benefactor. Young friend Lin holds this token. You all must treat him as if this Ancestor were personally present!”

“This Ancestor has imparted the method of using the Sky-Breaking Blade. This blade is dangerous. Forcibly using it without being at the Great Dao realm risks backlash. Unless absolutely necessary, remember not to use it.”

The Dongfang Duantian in the golden light lightly pointed at Dongfang Wuding, and a stream of information naturally flowed into Dongfang Wuding’s mind.

Lin Moyu knew that what Dongfang Wuding really wanted was the method to control the Sky-Breaking Blade.

The Sky-Breaking Blade was Dongfang Duantian’s treasure. It once slashed out the Broken Sky Domain, nearly cutting the Southern Continent in half.

The entire Broken Sky City was actually the Sky-Breaking Blade.

The problem was that they, as Dongfang Duantian’s descendants, didn’t know how to use the Sky-Breaking Blade.

For so many years, countless generations of the Dongfang family had researched the Sky-Breaking Blade, all to no avail.

Now, they finally knew how to use the Sky-Breaking Blade. Although this blade was very dangerous, for the Dongfang family, it was an incredibly terrifying trump card.

Dongfang Duantian left, and the token automatically fell back into Lin Moyu’s hand.

Dongfang Wuding stood up and bowed to Lin Moyu, his attitude quite respectful. “Mr. Lin, you are the Ancestor’s benefactor, which means you are also the Dongfang family’s benefactor. In the future, whatever you need, please just say the word. The Dongfang family will certainly do our utmost.”

“Young friend Lin” had become “Mr. Lin.” Lin Moyu was called “young friend” by Dongfang Duantian. How could Dongfang Wuding dare to call him that? Wouldn’t that be putting himself on the same level as Dongfang Duantian?

Lin Moyu smiled and said, “You don’t need to be so polite. Ancestor Duantian has done too much for the Origin Continent. I just helped him a little bit. It’s not worth mentioning.”

But Dongfang Wuding didn’t think so. “The Ancestor said to treat you as if he were personally present. The Ancestor’s words must be heeded.”

Seeing Dongfang Wuding so certain, Lin Moyu didn’t say more. “Then as you wish.”

Dongfang Wuding said, “I’ll tell the other elders in the family about this matter. We’ll prepare a banquet to properly thank you, Mr. Lin. After the banquet, I’ll take Mr. Lin to the treasury. Any item there, Mr. Lin can take as you please.”

Lin Moyu had originally wanted to leave, but Dongfang Wuding was being too polite. He could only agree to stay for a meal and also meet the other elders of the Dongfang family.

Most importantly, Little Mei could feast to her heart’s content again.

The Dongfang family had five ninth-level elders. In terms of strength, they surpassed the Cold Water Holy Land.

During the banquet, Lin Moyu tactfully mentioned his relationship with the Cold Water Holy Land, hoping the Dongfang family could lend a hand if the Cold Water Holy Land was in trouble.

The grand banquet lasted a full day and night. Those who could participate were all seventh-level and above elders of the Dongfang family.

Amidst the toasts and cup exchanges, Lin Moyu and the various elders of the Dongfang family had become old friends.

Dongfang Wuding relayed Dongfang Duantian’s words. Those elders addressed Lin Moyu as “Mr. Lin” with great respect.

Lin Moyu could also see that the Dongfang family was extremely united and trusted each other greatly. There was no power struggle.

This harmonious family was much better than families full of strife like the Wu family.

After the banquet, Dongfang Wuding took Lin Moyu to the treasury. He was true to his word – any item could be taken freely.

Lin Moyu chose an eighth-level Dao Venerable treasure from among them. Even in the Dongfang family’s treasury, there were no ninth-level Dao Venerable treasures. An eighth-level one was already top-tier.

A day later, Lin Moyu left the Dongfang family and then went to the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce in Broken Sky City.

He wanted to ask the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce to buy information about the Heaven-Seeking Seal, but unfortunately, the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce had no relevant information.

Lin Moyu knew there were only two possibilities. One was that they truly didn’t have it. The Heaven-Seeking Seal wasn’t an ordinary treasure. If they really didn’t have information on it, it wasn’t impossible.

The second possibility was that information about the Heaven-Seeking Seal was too secret, known only to the Three Ancestors and not for sale to outsiders.

If it was the second case, he would have to ask the Three Ancestors when he saw them.

Lin Moyu wasn’t in a hurry. He knew that going to Wind City in Rift Wind Cliff, he might be able to contact the Three Ancestors.

The Cloud-Piercing Sword flew in the Broken Sky Domain. Little Mei held a spirit beast leg in her left hand, drew runes with her right hand, and at the same time asked, “Teacher, why do you hope the Dongfang family will help the Cold Water Holy Land? Now the Question Dao Sect can barely take care of itself. It has no ability to deal with the Cold Water Holy Land.”
