Chapter 3458: Wind Lotus Elder
Lin Moyu said, "To be honest with you, Elder, behind this cliff is the core area of Rift Wind Cliff."
Wind Lotus Elder asked, "Young friend wants to go to the core area?"
Lin Moyu nodded, "I was entrusted to do something there."
Wind Lotus Elder unconsciously lowered his voice, "The core area is the Wu family's forbidden ground. If the Wu family finds out, they will surely pursue and kill you with all their might."
Lin Moyu smiled, "I have my ways. The Wu family won't know."
The implication was that as long as Wind Lotus Elder didn't tell anyone, the Wu family wouldn't know.
Wind Lotus Elder nodded, "Then go ahead. Wind will keep his promise. If there's any trouble, Wind will help young friend resolve it."
Lin Moyu said, "Then I'll trouble Elder."
Saying this, Lin Moyu walked into the doorway. After Lin Moyu entered, the doorway disappeared.
Wind Lotus Elder then looked behind him, "Will you kill yourself, or should Wind do it?"
As his words fell, a streak of light shot out, flying towards the distance.
Wind Lotus Elder chuckled, "You can't escape from Wind!"
He grasped with his hand, and fierce winds arose. The light streak hadn't flown far before it was wrapped in powerful wind force and blown back.
A fifth-level Dao Venerable looked at Wind Lotus Elder with terror on his face, "Elder, spare me! This junior swears never to speak of what I just heard."
Wind Lotus Elder shook his head, "Wind promised young friend Lin to handle any subsequent troubles. Wind always keeps his word."
"You can only blame your curiosity. If you hadn't stopped earlier, you wouldn't have met this calamity. Remember in your next life, not everything can be listened to!"
Boom!
The fierce wind exploded, blasting him into powder, then scattering him to the winds, leaving no trace.
Wind Lotus Elder said softly, "Only the dead won't talk out of turn."
Earlier, both Lin Moyu and Wind Lotus Elder had noticed this person, which is why Wind Lotus Elder said he would handle other troubles.
Lin Moyu had also understood Wind Lotus Elder's words, which is why he entered the cliff.
Wind Lotus Elder didn't go back on his word, directly killing the person.
However, if Lin Moyu heard him say that only the dead won't talk out of turn, he might laugh for quite a while.
For Lin Moyu, the dead were the most honest.
Lin Moyu passed through the divine rune formation and entered the core area that the Wu family had monopolized for countless years.
The wind here became different, no longer so fierce, but more dangerous.
The power of the Great Dao was infused into the wind, giving it various attributes.
The Wind Great Dao was a general term, and also the source Great Dao of all wind-system Great Daos.
Below it were countless branches, forming various different wind-system Great Daos.
The wind coming head-on invaded his body, corroding flesh and bones. Lin Moyu said softly, "Bone-corroding wind!"
With a shake of his blood essence, all the bone-corroding wind was expelled.
Then he surveyed the core area.
In his view were still cliffs and precipices, intertwining to form canyons, spread across the land like a spider's web.
Besides canyons, there were countless caves and even underground rivers.
Wu family members like Wu Xingchen, after entering the core area, would search for caves in the canyons.
The caves in the canyons were interconnected, and the paths inside were constantly changing. Even entering the same cave at different times would lead to completely different situations and places.
Here, there was no so-called correct path. Everything depended on luck and real-time judgment.
Wu family members had protective jade pendants and mostly wouldn't encounter danger. But Lin Moyu wasn't a Wu family member and didn't have a protective jade pendant, so he had to be extremely careful.
"According to Wu Xingguang, which cave you enter isn't important, nor is where you enter from."
"What's important is how you walk after entering the cave. Basically all the caves here are connected."
"Every fork in the road, every choice in the caves, will affect the final outcome. The caves are an enormous, constantly changing maze."
Lin Moyu pondered Wu Xingguang's words while looking at the sky.
There was a formation covering the sky, but the formation had changed. It no longer calculated time like in the peripheral area.
This was a place exclusively for Wu family members, so there was no need to calculate time.
Lin Moyu walked a distance against the bone-corroding wind. After turning a corner, the wind suddenly changed.
The wind became scorching hot, producing a burning sensation.
"It's turned into soul-scorching wind," Lin Moyu chuckled.
The bone-corroding wind corroded the physical body, while the soul-scorching wind attacked the soul.
Facing these two types of wind, Dao Venerables below the fourth level needed special treasures to resist. Those below the fourth level of Dao Venerable would be seriously injured upon contact.
Lin Moyu, however, ignored them. His blood essence vibrated, resisting all attacks.
He had originally thought of using these two types of wind to temper his physical body, but Lin Moyu discovered that the wind contained the will of powerful beings. It wasn't pure Great Dao power and couldn't be used to temper the physical body.
This also made him vigilant. The masters who blew these two types of wind might be dead.
Even if they were dead, there must be lingering will remaining.
Advancing along the canyon, after two turns, the soul-scorching wind changed again, becoming more powerful yin wind.
Yin wind could freeze soul and body, comparable to some powerful Ice Great Daos, and also had cursing effects.
Lin Moyu still ignored the yin wind. He finally saw a cave.
The cave was dark. Lin Moyu quickly walked in.
The moment he stepped into the cave, the fierce wind disappeared.
Outside the cave, fierce winds howled, but inside there was no wind at all.
The seemingly windless cave was actually more dangerous.
In the cave existed a special kind of being that the Wu family called wind spirits.
The occasional casualties when Wu family members entered the core area came from these wind spirits.
The Wu family had protective jade pendants. Most of the time, wind spirits wouldn't actively attack those with pendants.
But occasionally wind spirits would go berserk. When berserk, wind spirits would ignore the pendants. At these times, some unlucky Wu family members would be attacked, injured, or even killed.
After entering the cave, Lin Moyu walked less than ten meters before seeing a fork in the road with four paths, not knowing which was correct.
For others, this would be a difficult choice, but it wasn't a problem for Lin Moyu.
"It's been a long time since I've explored a map. A maze, quite interesting."
With a thought, space distorted and a large number of skeleton generals flew out, quickly diving into the four paths to explore.
Earlier in the peripheral area, to avoid attracting the attention of Wu family members, Lin Moyu hadn't used skeleton generals to find the way.
Now he had no such concerns and could act freely.
Without moving at all, a map was rapidly forming in his mind.
Not knowing how deep the cave was or how many forks there were, to explore thoroughly, Lin Moyu continuously sent out skeleton generals, releasing several million in total.
No matter what kind of maze it was, Lin Moyu planned to use the skeleton sea tactic to explore it completely.
At the same time, he wanted to see if he could find the wind opening the Three Ancestors mentioned.
It had been a long time since he'd done this. The feeling of clearing dungeons and breaking through secret realms from his memories surged up again.
Lin Moyu examined the rapidly forming map, occasionally connecting to the skeleton generals' vision to check the surrounding environment.
Finally, a wind spirit appeared in view.
The wind spirit had a weak soul flame, wrapped in eerie wind, falling onto a skeleton general.
