 Chapter 3216: If Others Can, So Can I

After pondering and connecting all the events, Lin Moyu finally understood.

Dragon Coil Island, the Hurricane Warship's route near the great whirlpool - it was all a scheme.

It was a scheme jointly set up by the Three Ancestors, the Beast Emperor, and the King of the Realm Sea.

The purpose was for sacrifice.

The formation of the great whirlpool should be related to the sealing formation at the bottom of the Realm Sea.

The sealing formation must have developed some issues, with power leaking out.

The power of the Outer Realm Gods collided with the power in the Realm Sea, forming the great whirlpool.

To prevent the problems with the sealing formation from further expanding, they needed to replenish its power.

The best way to replenish was naturally through origin spirit veins.

But origin spirit veins were limited, and their power would eventually be exhausted.

Besides origin spirit veins, external supplements were needed.

"If I'm not mistaken, the sea race should be the main sacrifice, accounting for the vast majority."

"Dragon Coil Island is second. There should be a formation under Dragon Coil Island that absorbs all the power of deceased powerhouses."

"The few Dao Venerables brought by the Hurricane Warship are just extras, optional."

"Besides this, the Hurricane Warship should have other uses. What could they be?"

After figuring this out, Lin Moyu discovered some more questions.

While he was pondering, several more Dao Venerables couldn't withstand the bewitching power and rushed out of the warship.

They resisted the terrifying suction of the great whirlpool while battling the sea serpents, but soon fell into the Realm Sea, completely disappearing.

Near the great whirlpool, falling into the Realm Sea meant certain death.

In a short time, over five Dao Venerables had died, though all were below the fourth-level Dao Venerable realm.

Their hearts were unstable, yet they refused to return to their rooms. One could only say their fate was poor.

Lin Moyu was indifferent to this. He felt that to understand all this, he might need to go beneath the Realm Sea himself to know.

He didn't take these sea serpents seriously, but the unknown of the great whirlpool still made him somewhat wary.

His intuition told him that the great whirlpool wasn't safe.

After some consideration, Lin Moyu gave up on his idea.

There were too many secrets in this world; he couldn't know them all.

If he wanted to know, he should improve his strength.

Otherwise, even if he knew some secrets, what could he do? It would only increase his troubles.

The Hurricane Warship slowly left the range of the great whirlpool. The sea serpents' bewitching power gradually weakened, and they no longer surrounded the Hurricane Warship.

Their activity range wasn't large, only staying near the great whirlpool.

Lu Xichuan sighed in relief, "Fortunately, only five died this time."

Lin Moyu asked, "Is it usually like this?"

Lu Xichuan nodded, "About the same. Usually three to five, occasionally a bit more."

Lin Moyu nodded without speaking.

At this moment, the Hurricane Warship suddenly shook slightly.

When the Hurricane Warship was flying, it would occasionally shake, which was normal.

But Lin Moyu felt this shake was unusual. The shake came from the bottom of the Hurricane Warship, the lowest level of the lower three levels.

The lowest level of the Hurricane Warship could only be entered by the Three Ancestors. Besides them, no one knew what was there.

Lin Moyu closed his eyes, concentrating all his senses towards the lowest level of the Hurricane Warship.

There were formations guarding it, blocking most perceptions, but Lin Moyu still sensed something.

There was a power there, resonating with somewhere in the Realm Sea.

"Origin spirit vein!"

Lin Moyu's expression changed slightly. He could hardly believe what he sensed.

At the lowest level of the Hurricane Warship, there was actually an origin spirit vein, and one of no low grade.

The Hurricane Warship was indeed not small, but relative to an origin spirit vein, it wasn't big enough.

Even using spatial formations, it shouldn't be possible to fit in an intertwined origin spirit vein that could reach millions or even tens of millions of li.

Moreover, this origin spirit vein wasn't the power source of the Hurricane Warship.

Most crucially, the Hurricane Warship's origin spirit vein was resonating with somewhere in the Realm Sea.

"What exactly is the Three Ancestors doing!"

Lin Moyu realized that his knowledge was still too shallow.

He thought he had seen many things and met many Great Dao realm beings.

Now he suddenly discovered that he didn't understand the methods of Great Dao realm beings at all.

What he could be sure of now was that the three Great Dao realm beings had definitely set up a grand scheme together.

This grand scheme was also to deal with the issues of the sealing formation at the bottom of the Realm Sea.

As for specific methods, apart from sacrifice, Lin Moyu couldn't think of anything else.

As the Hurricane Warship gradually moved away from the great whirlpool, the vibrations from the bottom also disappeared.

Lin Moyu composed himself and stopped thinking further.

With insufficient strength, thinking too much was useless.

Lu Xichuan said, "The rest of the journey shouldn't have any dangers."

Lin Moyu nodded, "Then let's go back."

With the great whirlpool passed, the rest of the journey would likely be uneventful.

The Realm Sea was endless; Lin Moyu had seen enough.

He turned and returned to his room. He had looked at divine runes for dozens of days and had gained some insights. Now it was time to go back and digest them properly.

Halfway there, Lu Xichuan had to go deal with other matters and parted ways with Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu knew that accompanying him to look at formations had indeed taken up a lot of time.

As he was about to reach his room, Lin Moyu suddenly turned his head to look towards the front of the corridor.

He saw Xuan Daoguang and the other two looking at him from afar, their eyes full of killing intent.

Lin Moyu swept a contemptuous glance at them, opened his room, and closed the door.

The look in his eyes before closing the door fell on the three of them like a mockery and provocation.

Just one look nearly made the three of them lose control on the spot.

But they still held back. This was the Hurricane Warship. Even a seventh-level ancestor had to follow the rules here.

Lin Moyu of course knew these three wanted to kill him. That look just now was deliberate.

When they reached the Western Continent, if these three dared to follow, Lin Moyu wouldn't mind sending them on their way.

Moreover, after what he said earlier, once it spread back, Xuanguang City's days would certainly not be as good.

Although the Wu family wouldn't take action against Xuanguang City just because of these words, they would be wary of Xuanguang City.

Previously, when the lord of Xuanguang City wanted to break through to the eighth-level Dao Venerable realm and was stopped by the Wu family, it was actually a warning.

Xuanguang City sending people to the Western Continent was nothing more than wanting to break through in the Western Continent.

This should have been done secretly, but now it had been exposed by Lin Moyu. How could they not hate him?

Lin Moyu didn't care about this at all. He began to review the divine runes he had seen, comparing them with regular runes, researching and exploring bit by bit.

Without any materials, doing this was extremely difficult.

To make even a little progress required enormous mental effort.

Lin Moyu was very patient. He felt that if he could thoroughly research divine runes, it would be of great benefit to him.

"The first person to comprehend divine runes also had no one to guide them."

"If others can do it, so can I."

Lin Moyu had great confidence in himself. As long as it wasn't truly a dead end, no matter how difficult, he could walk through it.
