Chapter 3370: The Nine Continents Will Eventually Recover
Without the Black Blood remnant soul, Old Tree's massive body that had been rooted for countless years could finally move.
Accompanied by rumbling sounds, the entire eighth extreme glacier shook. The ground trembled continuously and cracks appeared on the glacier's surface.
However, these cracks were only superficial. The glacier was incredibly thick, and no matter how many such cracks appeared, they wouldn't affect the glacier's strength.
The roots that had originally been embedded in the glacier and reached into the eternal frozen earth slowly retracted.
The giant tree's main body also began to shrink at the same time.
Old Tree was shrinking and becoming smaller.
The glacier's contraction speed was also very fast, almost shrinking one part for every part Old Tree shrank, leaving no gaps.
After several minutes, this mountain range-like glacier tea tree disappeared, transforming into a kind-faced old man in white robes standing before Lin Moyu.
Old Tree held a small box in his hand, "Young friend Lin, a small gift to show my respect."
Lin Moyu accepted the box but didn't open it, "Elder, may I ask what's inside?"
Old Tree said, "This old man's true form is a glacier tea tree. Besides producing glacier tea leaves, I can also cultivate Great Dao glacier tea."
"Glacier tea leaves can be divided into seven levels. Above the seventh level is Great Dao tea, though its yield is somewhat low. I hope young friend Lin won't mind."
"Brewing with Great Dao tea can speed up comprehension of the Great Dao. If you can obtain Great Dao Cold Water to brew together, the effect can be multiplied several times."
"Each leaf can be brewed ten times, with each cup's effect lasting a full year."
In other words, one Great Dao tea leaf could significantly boost cultivation effects for ten years.
Currently, Lin Moyu's speed of condensing Dao patterns was one per year. He wondered how much it could increase with the Great Dao tea.
Lin Moyu didn't try it immediately. After putting away the box, he bowed to Old Tree, "Many thanks for Elder Tree's generous gift."
Old Tree shook his head, "Young friend Lin is too polite. It should be this old man thanking you. You've helped this old man solve a big problem, giving me hope of regaining freedom. This kindness and favor, how can a few Great Dao tea leaves compare?"
"Come, let's go find Old Gu. I wonder how that old fellow has been doing all these years. Let this old man tease him a bit."
Old Tree seemed very cheerful, with laughter in his words.
The two headed towards the ninth extreme. Old Tree was very familiar with the glacier and took the shortest route without needing to search.
Lin Moyu asked, "Elder Tree, to regain your freedom, do you need to truly destroy the Black Blood remnant soul?"
Old Tree said, "It's not that simple. Killing the Black Blood remnant soul is only the first step. Besides this, there are some other things to do. Using such a powerful strange treasure naturally comes with a price, though this price is nothing compared to killing the Black Blood remnant soul."
Lin Moyu nodded, understanding this principle.
They hadn't had time to refine this strange treasure before using it, and its power was so immense, there must be a price.
As for what the price was, Lin Moyu didn't ask.
It wasn't his business, and even if he knew, he probably couldn't help much.
Lin Moyu knew his strength wasn't bad, but compared to Great Dao realm beings like Old Tree, who was also an eighth-grade innate soul Great Dao realm being, he simply wasn't in the same league.
Not just him, even Withering and Flourishing Elder, who was also at the Great Dao realm, was no match for Old Tree.
Lin Moyu changed the subject, "Elder Tree, can you tell me about the Origin Catastrophe?"
Old Tree looked at Lin Moyu with a smile, "It seems young friend is very interested in the Origin Catastrophe."
Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes, I've always wanted to unravel the mystery of those years."
Old Tree said, "Regarding the Origin Catastrophe, even among Great Dao realm beings, not many know about it. You know, for us Great Dao realm beings, we spend more time in seclusion than awake."
"When the catastrophe descended back then, many Great Dao realm beings were in seclusion, and some were in the Soul Void unable to return in time. Later, they all hurriedly joined the battle under orders, many in a state of confusion, some even perishing without knowing why."
Lin Moyu was stunned, "Was there no sign at all before the Origin Catastrophe descended? Didn't the strong cultivators of the Fate Great Dao in the Outer Great Dao sense anything?"
Lin Moyu found it hard to understand. If cultivators on the Origin Continent hadn't sensed anything, that would be normal.
But how could those cultivating the Fate Great Dao in the Outer Great Dao not have sensed anything?
Old Tree said, "Indeed, there was no sensing. Strange, isn't it? Actually, the reason is simple. The heavenly secrets were obscured, and the Fate Great Dao became useless."
"Later facts proved this point. Not long after the great battle erupted, Great Daos began to shatter."
"Young friend is so intelligent, you should have guessed which Great Dao shattered first, right?"
Lin Moyu's heart trembled, "The Fate Great Dao?"
Old Tree chuckled, "That's right, the Fate Great Dao shattered. But fortunately, it didn't completely shatter. After all, it's one of the Origin Great Daos, not so easy to completely shatter."
"Given enough time, the Fate Great Dao can still recover. We've been trapped here for countless years. I think the Fate Great Dao should have recovered by now. Even if not to its peak, at least partially."
"At that time, with the Fate Great Dao losing its effect, we naturally couldn't foresee the future course of events. From the perspective of the entire campaign, we lost the initiative."
Lin Moyu understood this principle. If the Fate Great Dao had remained intact, they could have constantly predicted the enemy's next move.
This way, they could have always held the advantage and fought much more easily.
But with the Fate Great Dao shattering, their advantage vanished, and they were put on the defensive everywhere.
Lin Moyu thought that if he were invading some great realm, unless he could completely overwhelm them with power, he would definitely deal with the Fate Great Dao first, blinding the opponent.
However, Lin Moyu was also puzzled, "The Fate Great Dao is an Origin Great Dao after all. Is it so easy to shatter?"
Old Tree shook his head, "Of course not. The other side paid a huge price to shatter the Fate Great Dao. Actually, the main reason was that the Fate Great Dao had no Dao Lord. If there had been a Dao Lord, they couldn't have shattered the Fate Great Dao no matter what."
"Let me continue. The later battles fell into a stalemate. We could only react to their moves, somewhat passively."
Old Tree had lived for a very long time. He had attained the Dao early and lived longer than most Great Dao realm beings, so he knew more.
First, the heavenly secrets were obscured, then the other side paid a heavy price to shatter the Fate Great Dao. The Origin Continent was caught off guard and fought very passively at first.
The enemy came fiercely. The Outer Realm Divine God armies from the Divine Realm, the sword and fist armies from the Black Blood Great Realm, along with their affiliated worlds, all invaded the Origin Continent.
But later, the powerful beings of the Origin Continent quickly reacted, emerging from seclusion and returning from the Soul Void to join the battle.
The situation began to improve rapidly.
It was at that time that Old Tree and the Gu family ancestor received orders to intercept the seventh-level Fist Saint from the Black Blood Great Realm, eventually becoming trapped here.
It was precisely because of this that the two Great Dao realm beings kept their lives.
If they had continued to participate in the battle after completing their mission, it's uncertain whether they could have survived.
So nothing is certain; misfortune may be a blessing in disguise.
Old Tree didn't know what happened after he received his mission.
Lin Moyu also shared what he knew, and their combined information formed a complete picture.
Old Tree sighed, "I didn't expect five of the nine continents to sink. What a pity."
Lin Moyu nodded, "Indeed, it's a great pity."
Old Tree said, "But it's not a big deal. As long as the core of the Origin Continent isn't damaged, the nine continents will eventually recover. It's just a matter of time."
Lin Moyu was surprised, "Can the continents really recover?"
Old Tree said, "Of course they can. The Origin Continent isn't that fragile. After so many years, I think it should be soon. Probably just needs a catalyst."
