Chapter 2525: The Ever-Changing Origin Continent
Xiao Wu finally finished integrating the origin crystal, and an illusory Great Dao appeared, completing the connection between the Law of Fortune and the Great Dao.
Xiao Wu exclaimed, "So this is the Great Dao! It really seems stronger than the Law of the Star River!"
Lin Moyu couldn't help but laugh, "The Law of the Star River is just a part of the Great Dao's power in the Great World, combined with its own evolution."
"The Great Dao is naturally stronger than the Law of the Star River, and not just by a little."
Xiao Wu pouted, "But using the Great Dao is so exhausting, much more tiring than manipulating the Law of the Star River."
Lin Moyu smiled, "That's natural. With greater power comes greater effort in manipulation. Moreover, the Origin Continent has many restrictions and strict rules, so the consumption is naturally higher."
"But it doesn't matter. When Xiao Wu becomes stronger and fully adapts, it will get better."
Xiao Wu nodded, "Alright, I'll work hard to adapt. Master, when you have time, take Xiao Wu with you more often so I can adapt better."
Lin Moyu looked at Xiao Wu with a half-smile, "I think you just want to play outside."
Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue, "I've played enough in the Great World. I want to play in the Origin Continent too. Besides, I can be with Xiao Yue and help Master take care of her, killing two birds with one stone."
Lin Moyu patted Xiao Wu's head, "You have a point. For now, I'll give you a task: use the power of the Great Dao to observe the general trend of fortune."
The Law of Fortune can observe the changes in fortune in the world and find auspicious places.
Xiao Wu asked, "Does Master have any specific requirements?"
Lin Moyu said, "I want to find an auspicious place in the Origin Continent."
Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled, "Is Master planning to become a mountain king?"
Lin Moyu lightly tapped Xiao Wu's head, "Not a mountain king, but to settle down and establish a foundation."
Xiao Wu was puzzled, "Master, haven't you always liked to be alone?"
Lin Moyu shook his head, "The Origin Continent is different from the Great World, and I'm not alone anymore. I need a place to settle."
"Stop talking nonsense and start looking!"
With that, he tapped Xiao Wu's head again, making her yelp, "Stop hitting me, you'll make me dumb."
Xiao Wu covered her head and began to communicate with the Great Dao, using its power to find an auspicious place.
The formation of fortune is complex, and even Xiao Wu can't fully explain it.
Not to mention Xiao Wu, even those who comprehend the Law of Fortune can't fully explain it.
The auspicious place seen through the Great Dao might turn into a dead zone due to some changes.
There might also be hidden dangers within certain fortunes.
This can only be seen in general terms.
Lin Moyu didn't expect Xiao Wu to find it immediately, just a general direction.
While Xiao Wu communicated with the Great Dao, Lin Moyu took out a map.
The map was part of Cheng Hongguang's legacy, depicting part of the southern continent's terrain.
The Origin Continent is vast, and the southern continent alone is enormous.
The terrain is treacherous and ever-changing. Cheng Hongguang's map only covers about one-third of the southern continent.
Fortunately, the nearby areas are included in the map.
A peculiar aura rose from Xiao Wu, making her presence seem illusory, as if she didn't exist in this space.
Xiao Yue was surprised, "Why do I feel like Sister Xiao Wu is watching us from the sky?"
Lin Moyu laughed, "Indeed, she's up in the sky now!"
Xiao Wu communicated with the Great Dao, turning the Law of Fortune into her eyes, overlooking the world.
Xiao Yue didn't understand Lin Moyu's words but still flattered, "Sister Xiao Wu is amazing."
Lin Moyu said, "You can do this too in the future."
Xiao Yue's eyes sparkled, "Really?"
"As long as you don't slack off."
Xiao Yue immediately raised her hand and swore, "Master, I promise I won't slack off."
After all, she's only fifteen, and her temperament hasn't fully settled.
Previously, due to a difficult life, Xiao Yue became silent, but playing with Xiao Wu these days has gradually brought back her true nature.
Lin Moyu thought it was good. True nature shouldn't be suppressed; otherwise, it might backfire and damage one's state of mind.
Moments later, Xiao Wu's aura returned, ending her communication with the Great Dao.
Her first words upon returning were a sigh, "Wow, the Origin Continent is so big, bigger than several star systems combined."
In the Origin Continent, without the use of space gates, speed is limited, making it extremely difficult to traverse.
In the Great World, Lin Moyu could cross several star systems with one space gate.
Lin Moyu asked, "How much did you see?"
Xiao Wu replied, "I don't know how much, but I didn't see the end."
"Did you find the auspicious place I asked for?"
"Of course, Master, I always complete your tasks."
"Show me the specific location!"
Lin Moyu unfolded the map and held it in front of Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu compared the map with what she had just seen and murmured, "This map is a bit off."
"What's wrong?"
"The terrain is wrong. There are no mountains here, and there's no lake here."
Xiao Wu pointed out over a dozen errors on the map in one breath.
Some mountains marked on the map had disappeared, and some places that seemed like plains had turned into mountains and lakes.
Lin Moyu frowned, "Has the terrain changed so drastically?"
He summoned Cheng Hongguang, "When was this map made?"
Cheng Hongguang thought for a moment, "About five thousand years ago."
In just five thousand years, the terrain shouldn't have changed so drastically.
Based on his experience in the Great World, such terrain changes usually take hundreds of thousands of years.
Lin Moyu asked, "Has the terrain of the Origin Continent changed so drastically?"
Cheng Hongguang explained, "In the Origin Continent, places without origin spirit veins experience significant terrain changes, with noticeable changes every few hundred years."
After Cheng Hongguang's explanation, Lin Moyu understood why establishing a sect requires an origin spirit vein.
In the Origin Continent, places with origin spirit veins have stable terrain.
Places without origin spirit veins have ever-changing terrain, making it impossible to settle.
The closer to an origin spirit vein, the more stable the terrain.
Cheng Hongguang pointed to a massive mountain range on the map, "This is where the Cold Water Holy Land is located. Beneath it lies an eighth-order origin spirit vein, extending for billions of miles."
He then pointed to several other places, where various sects and cities are located.
"These sects and cities are built on the origin spirit vein of the Cold Water Holy Land. Without it, they wouldn't exist."
Lin Moyu fully understood. The Cold Water Holy Land is called a holy land not only because of its strength but also because of the terrifying eighth-order origin spirit vein beneath it.
The forces dependent on it rely on the Cold Water Holy Land's origin spirit vein.
