 **Chapter 2837: The True Meaning of the Great Dao Lock**

 After several attempts, Lin Moyu gave up on dodging the starlight attacks through his own movements.

He confirmed that once locked by the starlight, it was impossible to dodge.

The frequency of the starlight falling was increasing, and Lin Moyu knew he didn't have much time left. Currently, the Skeleton Generals had flown out ten thousand kilometers, yet the grassland's end was still nowhere in sight. Lin Moyu had to suspect that even if he solved this puzzle, he might not be able to leave the grassland.

This situation was somewhat similar to a secret realm, requiring unraveling puzzles step by step; otherwise, he would be stuck in place.

Lin Moyu decided to try the second method.

As more starlight fell, Lin Moyu immediately recalled the Skeleton General.

The starlight, which was continuously accelerating, suddenly lost its target, but the acceleration continued.

The starlight accelerated to its limit but, without a target, didn't know where to attack.

It fell into the grassland like a meteor!

Boom!

The grassland exploded, and the purple grass was blown into the air, dancing in the breeze.

A seemingly insignificant starlight, when accelerated to the extreme, possessed astonishing destructive power.

A crater five or six meters in diameter and ten meters deep was blasted into the grassland.

This also made Lin Moyu realize that this grassland was extraordinary.

The power of the starlight was equivalent to the Dao Sovereign First Realm, enough to collapse a city and cause countless casualties in the outside world.

But here, it only created a small pit.

Soon, more starlight fell, and Lin Moyu used the same method, recalling the Skeleton General immediately.

The starlight once again turned into a meteor and crashed, creating a small pit.

After several attempts, Lin Moyu confirmed that this method was feasible.

However, he still felt it wasn't enough, sensing that he hadn't grasped the essence, at least not the way to solve the puzzle.

When the starlight fell again, Lin Moyu didn't recall the Skeleton General but instead cut off the connection with it.

The Skeleton General stood motionless, and the starlight accelerated rapidly, shattering the Skeleton General, and then Lin Moyu was blasted away again.

Lin Moyu muttered to himself, "Cutting off the connection with the Skeleton General doesn't work."

"The starlight can lock onto me through the Skeleton General, not by soul or aura, but by using the Great Dao."

"The Skeleton General's spell, the stars, carries my Dao, so the starlight can lock onto me through the Great Dao."

"Unless I can sever the Great Dao, once locked, I can't dodge."

Lin Moyu finally understood how the starlight locked onto him, which was crucial.

Today, the starlight can lock onto him through the Great Dao, meaning those powerful beings can also lock onto him through the Great Dao.

However, severing the Great Dao is not impossible, just extremely difficult.

Without severing the Great Dao, he could only endure such attacks.

When he discovered the mystery of the starlight, Lin Moyu suddenly thought of something: his Corpse Explosion spell might also lock onto the opponent through the Great Dao.

The Great Dao is omnipresent, ignoring spatial distance, so Corpse Explosion can also ignore spatial distance.

"I understand now!"

"If it can lock onto me through the Great Dao, why can't I lock onto it through the Great Dao?"

"Find clues and learn to master the Great Dao Lock."

For a moment, Lin Moyu felt enlightened, knowing what he needed to do.

He didn't know if his idea would solve the puzzle, but if he could comprehend this method, it would greatly enhance his combat power.

Previously understanding that the starlight used the Great Dao Lock was like an appetizer; now, it's the main course.

If he could master it, he wouldn't need the Bone Hell to mark targets; he could lock onto them directly with the Great Dao.

As long as the opponent couldn't sever the Great Dao, they would find it hard to evade.

The frequency of the starlight falling was gradually increasing, and Lin Moyu knew time was limited. He didn't hesitate to use the Great Dao of Luck to temporarily boost his luck.

The Great Dao of Luck appeared, merging with him, and before him, purple light soared, and the dragon of luck roared incessantly.

This was the first time Lin Moyu used the Great Dao of Luck, and his soul power was rapidly depleting, but it was still within the World Tree's replenishment range.

If Lin Moyu wished, he could even maintain this state for a long time.

Then he consumed a drop of tree sap, becoming closer to the Great Dao, and his comprehension increased sharply.

As starlight fell and accelerated, it killed the Skeleton General and shot towards Lin Moyu along the Great Dao.

Lin Moyu was blasted away, flying hundreds of meters before stabilizing himself.

He closed his eyes slightly, continuously sensing the starlight's formation, descent, acceleration, and final explosion on him.

With his keen soul, he didn't miss a single detail of the entire process.

Lin Moyu sensed clearly, and after just a few times, he gained some insights.

He discovered that when the starlight fell, a wisp of Great Dao power appeared among the myriad stars in the sky.

This wisp of Great Dao power was very faint, almost without any attributes, like a barely visible wisp of dust, falling with the starlight.

When the starlight killed the Skeleton General, this wisp of Great Dao power, transformed into dust, always followed closely.

Lin Moyu sensed it repeatedly, each time detecting the presence of this wisp of dust.

As the attempts increased, the sensing became clearer.

The dust, at the moment the starlight shattered the Skeleton General, locked onto the connection between him and the Skeleton General, a connection belonging to the Great Dao.

This connection is the most fundamental, the carrier between the spell and the Great Dao, and it's a connection Lin Moyu couldn't sever.

The Great Dao power carried by the starlight, like smoke and dust, locked onto him through his Great Dao, allowing the starlight to hit him accurately.

The dust was also a wisp of Great Dao power, without attributes, light as nothing.

It was like an extremely light insect landing on his Great Dao, not alerting his Great Dao at all.

Lin Moyu found the key point: the most important part was this wisp of Great Dao power, like smoke and dust.

He began to study the Great Dao power attached to the starlight.

The starlight struck repeatedly, and Lin Moyu was blasted away continuously. Although uninjured, he was a bit disheveled.

But his eyes grew brighter, and he finally began to understand.

All Great Dao powers have their attributes, and when they land on any Great Dao, they clash.

To be like this dust, not causing a reaction, two things are needed.

First, the Great Dao power used must be extremely small, almost undetectable. The precision required to control the Great Dao power is so high that ordinary people can't achieve it.

Perhaps those above the Dao Sovereign Seventh Realm could do it more easily; below that, it's extremely difficult.

Second, all original attributes of the Great Dao must be stripped away, leaving only pure Great Dao power.

Only then will there be no conflict.

In other words, his Great Dao power must be as harmless as possible, so other Great Daos don't perceive a threat, avoiding a reaction.

The power of a Dao Sovereign comes from the Great Dao. If the Great Dao isn't alerted, the Dao Sovereign won't notice either.

Lin Moyu fully understood how to use the Great Dao to lock onto an enemy, more accurately and harder to break than soul locking.

Knowing is one thing, but doing it is another.
