Chapter 2876: Play However You Want
The extraterrestrial god was dead, leaving not even a trace of ash.
The eight thunder chains lost their target and hung motionless in the air.
Lin Moyu returned to the elder, "Senior, it's finally resolved."
The elder's gaze was complex, his thoughts not chaotic at this moment.
Lin Moyu found it strange; the extraterrestrial god was dead, so the elder should be happy. Why did he seem unhappy?
The elder scrutinized Lin Moyu, "Are you the reincarnation of a Dao Master?"
Lin Moyu looked puzzled, "Why do you say that, senior?"
The elder waved his hand, "Nothing, just asking casually. What was the treasure you used just now?"
Lin Moyu replied, "The Scourge Staff."
The elder thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, confirming he hadn't heard of it. Though he couldn't figure it out, he remained curious, "Where did you get the Scourge Staff?"
Lin Moyu said, "In a small world. I was hoping to ask you about it, senior."
The elder, once a true Great Dao realm expert, surely knew many things.
Having encountered him, Lin Moyu couldn't miss the opportunity to ask.
The elder said, "No rush, let's talk after the Great Dao reward; we have time."
The Great Dao reward descended. The rewards for killing an extraterrestrial god and a divine pet were completely different.
After killing the extraterrestrial god, the Great Dao reward could be chosen.
Cultivators only needed to communicate with the Great Dao through their thoughts to receive the corresponding reward.
Lin Moyu didn't know what reward the elder wanted.
He knew exactly what he wanted.
As the Great Dao descended, an invisible force enveloped him, and a vague whisper seemed to ask what reward Lin Moyu desired.
Without hesitation, Lin Moyu chose to condense Dao patterns.
In the next second, after making his choice, the power of the Great Dao descended.
The power of the Great Dao was incomparably noble, containing an untouchable ethereal quality.
This power seemed to contain traces of all Great Daos.
Infinite Daos could find clues here, whether illusory or real, all included.
This power guided Lin Moyu, his consciousness sinking into the soul world.
In the soul world, the Great Dao power transformed into a light, falling on his soul.
Six Dao patterns in his soul shone brightly, and the seventh pattern had just begun to take shape, far from fully formed.
If Lin Moyu were to condense it himself, it might take a thousand days.
But under the glow of the Great Dao, the seventh Dao pattern quickly took shape.
The speed of condensing the Dao pattern was so fast that even Lin Moyu, its owner, was caught off guard.
Fast, incredibly fast.
Lin Moyu felt as if his soul had entered an extremely special state, incredibly close to the Great Dao.
All insights, whether conscious or subconscious, including those buried deep in his soul, were summoned at this moment.
The Dao patterns were formed from his own insights, and whether they could be condensed depended on himself, not external forces.
If his insights were insufficient, the Great Dao reward couldn't help.
Thus, the Great Dao reward could only assist in condensing Dao patterns, not create them for him.
The Great Dao reward could gather all details, leaving nothing out.
Lin Moyu possessed six Great Daos, and even he couldn't fully understand the depth of his insights.
Any one of the six Great Daos was enough to support his entry into the Dao Sovereign realm.
In less than two minutes, the seventh Dao pattern was successfully condensed.
Then, the outline of the eighth Dao pattern appeared in his soul.
This time, the condensation speed remained fast, ignoring the rule that more Dao patterns meant slower condensation.
All rules were set under the Great Dao, ineffective against it.
Three minutes later, the eighth Dao pattern was condensed.
Eight Dao patterns shone in his soul, forming a whole, each pattern's power greatly enhanced.
The more Dao patterns, the stronger the resonance, amplifying each pattern's power.
The same number of Dao patterns, whether one or many, had vastly different power.
Then, the outline of the ninth Dao pattern appeared.
At this point, the condensation of Dao patterns was no longer under Lin Moyu's control; the Great Dao reward mobilized all his insights, pushing him toward his limit.
In this state, Lin Moyu had no idea where his limit lay.
It could be far away, or it might suddenly be reached.
Lin Moyu could only passively accept this.
Though the Great Dao reward could be freely chosen, it remained dominant.
While Lin Moyu condensed Dao patterns, the elder had already finished receiving his Great Dao reward and was watching Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu's reward continued, and the elder was patient.
His gaze was sharper than before.
Condensing the ninth Dao pattern took a full four minutes.
The seventh took two minutes, the eighth three minutes, and the ninth four minutes.
Though each took longer, they all went smoothly.
After the ninth Dao pattern was successfully condensed, the Great Dao reward still wasn't over.
Just two seconds later, the outline of the tenth Dao pattern formed.
Lin Moyu was shocked, "There's actually a tenth Dao pattern!"
"The senior said those who condense nine Dao patterns become Dao Masters."
"Nine Dao patterns should be the limit, but I've condensed a tenth. What does that make me?"
The Great Dao reward didn't care if Lin Moyu was shocked; the Dao patterns continued to condense until his limit was reached.
Five minutes later, the tenth Dao pattern was successfully condensed.
"Ten Dao patterns, truly surpassing the limit."
As soon as the thought arose, the outline of the eleventh Dao pattern suddenly appeared.
"There's more!"
The thought shattered, and Lin Moyu watched in a daze.
He had once estimated he could exceed eight Dao patterns without issue.
He had always broken limits as he grew.
Later, he heard the true limit was nine Dao patterns, and Lin Moyu felt he could manage, maybe even reach ten.
In fact, he did reach ten.
But he never imagined there would be an eleventh.
At this point, Lin Moyu didn't care anymore; the Great Dao reward could do as it pleased.
He became a bystander, watching the Great Dao reward do as it willed.
In six minutes, the eleventh Dao pattern was successfully condensed.
Then, the outline of the twelfth Dao pattern appeared.
Lin Moyu watched as if watching a show, wishing he had some snacks to enjoy.
Seven minutes later, the twelfth Dao pattern was successfully condensed.
Twelve Dao patterns formed a whole, resonating powerfully.
Lin Moyu felt the power of the Dao patterns had increased at least threefold.
The same spell, infused with Dao patterns, was at least three times stronger than those with only one Dao pattern.
The difference was terrifying, allowing him to easily crush cultivators of the same realm.
Then, the thirteenth Dao pattern appeared.
In the secret vault, the elder waited a long time, unable to see Lin Moyu finish.
Lin Moyu was enveloped in a glow of the Great Dao, which was both a reward and a protection.
After a long wait, the glow finally faded.
"It's finally done!"
The elder snapped his fingers, and the eight thunder chains fell like lightning, binding Lin Moyu tightly.
