Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: Emperor Zun of the Previous Life, Invincible in This Life!
Lin Mu stepped alone into the secret realm.
The Bloodthirsty Old Demon did not move, because this was Lin Mu’s opportunity, not his.
Wu Qingchen gave the Bloodthirsty Old Demon a surprised look. "You old monster, I can’t believe there’s a day when you actually submit to someone else."
The Bloodthirsty Old Demon said disdainfully, "The master’s talent is peerless. How could others compare? Submitting to the master is the greatest honor of my life!"
He would never tell Wu Qingchen that on the way to the Lost Canyon, he had literally knelt for two months straight before he was allowed to become Lin Mu’s servant.
Even then, Lin Mu only agreed because his Cultivation Technique had just broken through and he was in a very good mood.
Otherwise, even if he knelt until he died, he would still not be qualified to be Lin Wudi’s servant!
...
Inside the secret realm, it was like another world!
Wherever he looked was a dazzling green. The rich color dyed this place into a green world!
However, although it was green, the feeling it gave was not life, but deathly stillness!
A green dead silence!
The instant he stepped into the secret realm, Lin Mu felt a corrosive force eroding his body.
If it were an ordinary Integrate Dao cultivator, perhaps in a few days they would be corroded to death!
But if it were only this, it wouldn’t really count as dangerous.
Just as Lin Mu took another step forward, a figure suddenly appeared, its body radiating an oily green light!
The moment it appeared, the green figure chopped out with a palm. It was actually one of the Twelve Forms of Slaying Gods, Banishing Immortals, and Slaughtering Demons—the Deicide Palm!
Before Lin Mu could make a move, the green figure flipped its left palm—Suppression of Heaven Technique!
The moves Lin Mu had used in the Lost Canyon were being executed by this green figure!
Lin Mu smiled faintly and suddenly struck out, using the Suppression of Heaven Technique and the Deicide Palm as well!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lin Mu didn’t budge an inch, while that green figure was flung away!
Emperor Zun in his past life, invincible in this one.
If his Cultivation Technique could be imitated that easily, then the title of Emperor Zun would be worth far too little.
The green figure had merely copied a bit of superficial form.
It only looked impressive because its strength was great.
If it were an ordinary Integrate Dao cultivator, they would probably find it hard to deal with.
But for Lin Mu, it was nothing more than something he could handle with a flip of the hand.
Lin Mu flicked his finger, and the green figure instantly sank into his Sea of Consciousness!
The moment it entered his Sea of Consciousness, the green figure revealed its true form—it was actually a Tribulation Thunder Thought!
This Tribulation Thunder Thought was clearly a masterless thing; after entering Lin Mu’s Sea of Consciousness, it actually stayed completely still.
That was only to be expected.
If the Tribulation Thunder Thoughts attacked after entering one’s Sea of Consciousness, then none of the ordinary Integrate Dao experts who entered this secret realm would ever survive!
"Suppress!"
Lin Mu activated the Heavenly Dao Myriad Laws Record and suppressed this wisp of thought.
He continued forward!
Green figures kept appearing, attacking Lin Mu!
These green figures seemed to be using the Cultivation Techniques of those Great Powers of Integration who had once entered the secret realm.
Lin Mu suppressed the Tribulation Thunder Thoughts again and again!
By the time he walked out of the passage and reached a hall-like area, he had already absorbed a full hundred first-tribulation Thunder Thoughts!
If given time to refine them, he could directly advance to Late-Stage Integration.
He had originally come for the Nine Tripod Fragments, but unexpectedly, before he even found the Fragment, he had already obtained a hundred first-tribulation Thunder Thoughts.
Inside the hall, Lin Mu finally saw the true face of this secret realm!
In the wide cavern that resembled a hall, a corpse was sitting cross-legged at the center.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this should be the Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor of legend who had once entered the Lost Land and never come out again.
Sure enough, he had fallen here!
Inside the corpse’s abdominal cavity was a fist-sized Nine Tripod Fragment!
Lin Mu already understood how this Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor had died.
He had taken the Nine Tripod Fragment into his abdomen, attempting to refine it.
Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to refine the Nine Tripod Fragment, he was instead corroded to death by the green annihilative energy of the Fragment!
Lin Mu let out a light sigh.
The Nine Cauldrons are creations of Heaven and Earth.
Even he had not been able to refine the Nine Tripod Fragments so far; he could only borrow their power!
To attempt to refine a Nine Tripod Fragment with only first-tribulation strength was no different from seeking death!
This Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor died unjustly!
Lin Mu did not immediately take the Nine Tripod Fragment, but looked toward the space in front of the corpse.
On the ground before the corpse, a few lines were carved, recording the life story of this Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor.
He called himself Ancestor Tianyuan and came from the Ancient Origin Holy Land of Southern Spirit Continent.
He had swallowed a Nine Tripod Fragment but failed to refine it; on the verge of death, he left a final message.
He hoped that whoever obtained his thoughts would be able to return his corpse to the Ancient Origin Holy Land of Southern Spirit Continent.
As payment, before his fall he had split off a hundred masterless thoughts and left them within the secret realm.
Lin Mu sighed softly.
This man had tremendous willpower!
While being contaminated by the Nine Tripod Fragment and with death imminent, he still had the resolve to split off a hundred masterless thoughts.
Unfortunately, the trial he set was too harsh. In the hundreds of thousands of years since, not a single person in the Lost Land had passed the test and refined the thoughts.
Now, it had ended up benefiting Lin Mu!
"I will return your corpse to the Gu Yuan Ancient Land."
As Lin Mu spoke this promise, the bones in the corpse’s abdomen gave a crunch, and the oily green Nine Tripod Fragment fell to the ground.
Lin Mu reached out and beckoned, and the Nine Tripod Fragment fell into his hand.
The next moment, he flipped his palm, and the other five Nine Tripod Fragments appeared!
Rumble!
With a thunderous roar, the six Nine Tripod Fragments fused into one.
"Six Fragments. There’s finally a hint of a pattern. Judging from how it’s broken, perhaps around thirteen Fragments will be enough to reassemble the complete Nine Cauldrons!"
A strange light flashed in Lin Mu’s eyes.
After carefully collecting Ancestor Tianyuan’s corpse, Lin Mu turned and left the secret realm.
"What did you do?"
The moment Lin Mu stepped out of the secret realm, Wu Qingchen urgently asked.
Her Wu Family were called the Guardians of the secret realm, but in reality they were its slaves.
Their clan had been unable to leave the Lost Canyon for generations. As soon as they left the Lost Land for three to five days, they would wither and die.
Back then, her daughter had been deceived by a wastrel from Renowned Swords Holy Lands and died miserably. She clearly knew who the killer was, yet could not avenge her.
Just now, she had faintly sensed that the thread tying her to the Lost Canyon had been severed.
From this day on, she would no longer be bound by the Lost Canyon!
"This place is no longer a secret realm. You’re free."
Lin Mu said calmly.
The Tribulation Thunder Thoughts and the Nine Tripod Fragment had both been taken by him; there was no longer any meaning in Wu Qingchen staying.
"Free..."
Wu Qingchen was dazed.
The duty and curse engraved into her bloodline for countless generations had suddenly vanished.
She actually didn’t know what to do with herself.
Lin Mu paid her no mind and was about to leave with the Bloodthirsty Old Demon.
"World Master, may I follow you...?"
Wu Qingchen caught up to them.
Lin Mu was the benefactor who had lifted her bloodline curse; she instinctively made her choice.
"My enemies are five Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors. If you’re not afraid of death, you can come along."
Lin Mu did not look back; his voice sounded by Wu Qingchen’s ear.
His enemies were five Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors?!
Wu Qingchen looked in shock at that white figure.
The next moment, she mounted her sword and flew after him.
So what if they were Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors? In the end, they can still be killed!
If not for her desire for revenge, she would have lost the will to live back when her daughter was killed!
Lin Mu had taken revenge for her and removed her bloodline curse. She was willing to live and die together with him!
