**Chapter 2754: The War on Panlong Island**
Lu Fengyao was puzzled, "Why are you buying so many random things?"
Lin Moyu replied, "I established a small force in the Eastern Continent."
Lu Fengyao’s eyes sparkled with surprise, "You actually established your own force."
Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes."
Lu Fengyao gave a thumbs up, "I didn’t expect you to have such high ambitions, Lin. What level do you plan to develop your force to?"
Lin Moyu shook his head lightly, "I don’t know. I’ll take it one step at a ti. But everyone needs a goal, right?"
Lu Fengyao agreed, "Indeed. To reach greater heights, there are only a few ways. But the way you’ve chosen will be very tough."
Lin Moyu didn’t mind, "I’ll go as far as I can."
For cultivators, the higher they go, the more they need fortune.
It’s not just about effort; without fortune, at best, one might achieve half the results with twice the effort, and after thousands of years, gain nothing. At worst, one might die and disappear.
Fortune plays a role in the unseen, affecting one’s thoughts and leading to wrong choices.
After reaching the sixth realm of Dao Sovereign, the role of fortune becos even more prominent.
At that point, most rogue cultivators almost lose the possibility of advancing further.
Only those born with great fortune have a chance to advance further.
At this ti, one needs to find ways to gain more fortune.
An origin spirit vein can suppress fortune, gather fortune, and establish a powerful force above it, gathering a large amount of fortune and clearing the path forward.
So people exhaust their potential and can’t advance their realm. Not only do they fail to provide fortune, but they also consu the fortune of their force.
Such people are ruthlessly abandoned, which is why the Third Ancestor said those old guys are ruthless.
Thinking carefully, one can’t entirely bla them. After all, everyone wants to advance, and if you block my path, I’ll naturally find a way to remove you.
The longer one lives, the less they want to die, and the more ruthless they beco.
Establishing a force is one way, but there are other ways.
For example, using secret thods to devour others’ fortune.
After finding an origin spirit vein, instead of establishing a force, one can choose to rge the origin spirit vein into oneself, gaining the fortune contained in the vein.
Or one can seek various treasures that can enhance fortune.
There are many thods, and Lin Moyu chose the most stable one.
Lu Fengyao naturally understood the inside story and could see through Lin Moyu’s approach.
She said softly, "With your talent, you could also choose to join a top force and gain a large amount of fortune."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "That would an being controlled by others. I value my freedom too much."
Lu Fengyao sighed, "Alright, then I can only wish you good luck. Establishing a force carries great risks, especially in the Eastern Continent."
Lin Moyu smiled, "If others can do it, I believe I can too."
Lu Fengyao understood his implication. Over the years, only the Lu Feng rchant Guild had truly managed to establish a long-term foothold in the Eastern Continent.
Lu Fengyao’s eyes brightened, "Actually, there’s another way to gain a lot of fortune."
Lin Moyu asked, "What way?"
Lu Fengyao’s eyes turned sharp, "Go to the battlefield, the battlefield between humans and demons."
Lin Moyu was slightly stunned. He knew that humans and demons were not on good terms and often had conflicts, especially with so demon clans looking down on humans.
But he didn’t know that humans and demons were actually at war.
Small-scale conflicts and wars are two different concepts, fundantally different in nature.
Lu Fengyao explained, "The major human forces in the Southern Continent and the various demon clans have accumulated too much hatred and conflict over countless years."
"The hatred has deepened over countless years, and eventually, the major forces in the Southern Continent united to form an army."
"The demon clans did the sa, forming their own army. The two sides have been at war for countless years."
Lu Fengyao ntioned "countless years" many tis, indicating that the war had been going on for so long that it was impossible to pinpoint the exact ti.
Lin Moyu asked, "Why does going to war gain fortune?"
Lu Fengyao continued, "In the army, there’s a secret thod. As long as you kill demons, you can gain fortune from them."
"So that’s it, plundering fortune from demons. In this way, all forces would likely send people to participate."
"And this thod is essentially no different from the Eastern Spirit Empire’s attacks. Both are about killing for fortune."
Lin Moyu asked, "Where is the battlefield?"
Lu Fengyao replied, "In the north of the Southern Continent, south of the Northern Continent, on an island called Panlong Island in the Sea of Realms."
"There are several origin spirit veins on this island, and the battlefield is on it."
"The origin spirit veins make the island’s terrain solid, and Panlong Island is large enough for cultivators to fight."
"It seems that the humans and demons have reached an agreent with the sea clan, and both sides have fixed routes to Panlong Island."
The war between the two sides, apart from the conflict, is also about seizing each other’s fortune and the origin spirit veins on Panlong Island, achieving multiple goals.
Lin Moyu found it strange, "Why does an island have so many origin spirit veins?"
Lu Fengyao said, "I don’t know. It’s said to be related to the King of the Sea of Realms. Moreover, there’s a legend that Panlong Island has a ninth-grade origin spirit vein, but it has never been found."
"Many people go there for this ninth-grade origin spirit vein."
A ninth-grade origin spirit vein is a top-tier origin spirit vein, extrely valuable.
In the history of the Origin Continent, ninth-grade origin spirit veins have appeared only a few tis.
Several top forces are trying to upgrade their origin spirit veins to the ninth grade, but none have succeeded so far.
If the Thunder Daoist had obtained a ninth-grade origin spirit vein back then, he might have broken through the Dao Sovereign bottleneck.
Lin Moyu thought to himself, "If there’s really a ninth-grade origin spirit vein, it must be contested."
Lin Moyu beca interested in Panlong Island and thought he might go there in the future, but not now.
Lu Fengyao sighed, "So, there are many paths to the top. It depends on how you choose. Currently, establishing your own force is a good thod. Although it’s difficult, it’s at least stable."
Her words aligned with Lin Moyu’s thoughts.
They chatted as they wandered through the free market.
The free market was huge, and it would take several days to see everything.
Lin Moyu bought various treasures and materials, spending a small amount of money, which was nothing to him.
Unfortunately, after the initial lucky find, he didn’t encounter any more opportunities.
However, another cursing match took place, this ti between a custor and a stall owner, ending with the custor winning.
After wandering for most of the day, the World Tree suddenly stirred.
Lin Moyu heard the World Tree’s intermittent voice, "Spirit vein... remnants."
Lin Moyu’s heart moved. There were remnants of a spirit vein here.
His spiritual sense hadn’t detected it, and the World Tree couldn’t pinpoint its location.
Without the Devouring Mouse, he could only search item by item.
Lin Moyu communicated with the World Tree, "Try to find the direction."
