Chapter 3179: Your Dao Heart Is Too Weak
Su Li witnessed firsthand how the Ten Directions Forest of their ancestral land was completely annihilated, from existence to nothingness.
Countless hell fiends left an indelible mory in his soul.
Even after countless years, if he beca a higher-level being, the scene from today would still shock him.
Su Li opened his mouth a few tis, seemingly wanting to ask sothing, but ultimately said nothing.
The Skeletal Hell devoured everything. Those creatures that rushed over were all consud by the Skeletal Hell, not a single one escaped.
After clearing a large area, Lin Moyu moved to another location and continued using the Skeletal Hell.
After several rounds, the Ten Thousand Li deep Ten Directions Forest was completely leveled, not even a single branch remained.
However, from start to finish, the ancestral land spirit never ca to stop them, and those creatures were different from what Su Li had encountered before.
Su Li noticed that all those creatures’ eyes were glowing with blood-red light, which wasn’t there before. But he didn’t have ti to look closely before the Skeletal Hell had devoured them all.
With the path ahead cleared, Lin Moyu said, "Friend Su, please continue to lead the way."
Su Li was pulled back from his shock and quickly said, "Alright, please follow , Mr. Lin."
Now that the Flower of Destiny was gone, Lin Moyu didn’t know if it had been devoured along with everything else by the Skeletal Hell, but that no longer mattered.
Having Su Li by his side was proving useful.
He had been to the ancestral land many tis and could certainly lead the way without problems.
Walking on the land that should have been the Ten Directions Forest, Su Li felt sowhat emotional, wondering how the ancestral land had co to this state.
For so reason, Su Li felt a bit dazed and confused at this mont.
He thought, if even the ancestral land spirit couldn’t stop the enemy, could their side succeed?
He certainly wasn’t up to the task, and Lin Moyu was at most a third-level Dao Venerable. How strong could he really be?
Suddenly, Lin Moyu grabbed Su Li, and the Wings of Ti unfurled simultaneously. The two shot towards the sky like lightning.
Su Li was startled awake, "What happened?"
Lin Moyu looked towards the ground, "See for yourself."
Su Li looked down at the ground. The forr Ten Directions Forest, after Lin Moyu’s sweep, had been turned into flat land. Now, on that flat land, a large amount of black mist had erged.
Within the black mist, there were trickling streams, but the water in these streams was also black, looking quite eerie.
When Su Li saw the black mist and black water streams, an uncontrollable sense of disgust welled up in his heart.
This disgust was sothing Su Li had never experienced before. It ca from his soul and was hard to control.
He had an urge to rush down there and use all his life’s strength to eradicate all the black mist and streams.
This urge was very abnormal. Su Li struggled to suppress his impulse and asked with horror, "What is this? Why do I feel such disgust towards it?"
Lin Moyu said, "This is the invader I told you about. It’s normal to feel disgust; that’s forcibly given to you by the Dao. This is nothing yet. When you truly see the opponent, the disgust will be a hundred tis stronger than now."
"At that ti, don’t rush to fight them to the death. Learn to restrain yourself."
The horror on Su Li’s face didn’t disappear. He understood Lin Moyu’s words and realized how terrifying the invader was.
Horror filled Su Li’s face, "Disgust forcibly given by the Dao? Does that an it’s an enemy of the Dao?"
Lin Moyu patted his shoulder, "So things are better left unknown to you. Your Dao heart is too weak. When you return, you should spend a few thousand years at the Fox Tail Sword to temper your Dao heart."
Su Li said, "I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Lin."
Lin Moyu looked at the streams below, "If I’m not mistaken, there should be an origin spirit vein beneath your ancestral land. That thing first polluted the origin spirit vein."
"Using the origin spirit vein, it took root here. By the ti the ancestral land spirit discovered it, it was already impossible to expel."
"It also relied on the origin spirit vein to gradually strengthen itself and occupy your ancestral land."
Lin Moyu gestured for Su Li to continue leading the way. He didn’t bother with the black mist on the ground.
This was just a surface phenonon, not the real source.
Once the source was dealt with, the surface phenonon would naturally dissipate.
Soon, the two flew out of the Ten Directions Forest area and entered a vast grassland.
On the grassland, three roads paved with blue stones extended towards the distance.
The three roads gradually spread out, leading in different directions.
In the distance, mist perated the air, like cloud layers scattered between heaven and earth.
The blue stone roads disappeared into the cloud layers, looking like paths to immortality.
Su Li said, "Under normal circumstances, after passing through the Ten Directions Forest, we would step onto the Azure Cloud Road. Based on our performance in the Ten Directions Forest, each person can walk a different Azure Cloud Road."
"If one performs well enough in the Ten Directions Forest, the Azure Cloud Road they can walk will lead directly to the ancestral land’s core. At the core, there’s a high probability of gaining the ancestral land spirit’s recognition."
"If the performance is average, then their Azure Cloud Road will be difficult to reach the core, but they’ll still receive so rewards."
"If the performance is poor, the Azure Cloud Road will directly send them out of the ancestral land."
Lin Moyu asked, "Three Azure Cloud Roads represent three outcos, which ans whether one can gain recognition is actually decided in the Ten Directions Forest?"
Su Li nodded, "Yes, it’s decided in the Ten Directions Forest."
Lin Moyu continued to ask, "Are there no other tests on the Azure Cloud Road?"
Su Li said, "There’s a little more, but not much."
He pointed to the distance, "After entering the mist, we’ll step onto the Azure Cloud Steps. Sotis the steps are false and we’ll step into empty air. If we fall, we’ll directly leave the ancestral land, losing the chance to be recognized by the ancestral spirit."
"Besides that, there are no other requirents. As long as one performs well in the Ten Directions Forest, generally, they can complete the Azure Cloud Road."
Lin Moyu understood. The Celestial Fox clan’s ancestor indeed didn’t test cultivation realm too much.
He mainly tested destiny, and a bit of carefulness.
This was sowhat similar to the Cloud Mist Sect in the previous great world.
The three Azure Cloud Roads represented three outcos: no gain, so gain, and recognition.
After being recognized, one could unlock the bloodline shackles and advance further.
One could also gain the qualification to beco the clan leader.
As for the possibility of stepping into empty air at the end, Lin Moyu thought this was also related to destiny.
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "So which of these three roads should we take?"
Su Li shook his head, "I don’t know either. In the past, there was only one road. Now there are three, and I don’t know which to choose."
The three Azure Cloud Roads looked identical, but the results were completely different.
In the past, after passing through the Ten Directions Forest, there was no need to choose. Now that Lin Moyu had leveled the Ten Directions Forest, all three Azure Cloud Roads were revealed, and they had to make a choice.
Lin Moyu looked at the three Azure Cloud Roads, trying to find the correct one.
But the three roads had no differences at all; they were completely identical.
Su Li thought for a mont and said softly, "Why don’t you level the Azure Cloud Roads too, Mr. Lin?"
After all, the Ten Directions Forest had already been destroyed, so what difference would the Azure Cloud Roads make?
Lin Moyu shook his head, "Actually, it’s not that complicated. These three roads aren’t difficult to choose."
