Chapter 1979: The First Step: Becoming a Supreme!
The Misty Cloud Mountain collapsed, and the entire Phantom Mist Sect inheritance ground collapsed with it.
This originally broken rules world began to crumble as the last remnant soul of the Phantom Mist Heavenly Venerable disappeared.
The Phantom Mist Heavenly Venerable used all the power he could muster to do one last thing for the human race and this great world.
He stripped away part of the fortune from various races and fed it back to the great world's rune.
Although it couldn't repair the great world's rune, it could at least hold on for a while longer.
This extra time was very important for the great world, for the human race, and for Lin Moyu.
When everything disappeared, all that remained in Lin Moyu's hand was that pearl.
It was the supreme inheritance of the Phantom Mist Sect.
Hao Saint Venerable and the other elders were once again pressed to the ground, unable to move.
The power of the Phantom Mist Heavenly Venerable swept through the entire rules world, chilling their hearts.
It wasn't until the rules world completely collapsed and the power of the Phantom Mist Heavenly Venerable completely disappeared that they came to their senses.
At this moment, they had returned to the great world.
The laws returned to their bodies, and the aura of the great world rushed towards them.
Everyone looked at each other, "The inheritance ground has collapsed."
"Young friend Lin should have obtained the supreme inheritance, so the inheritance ground collapsed directly."
"It should be so, we don't need to try again and again."
"It's good that he got it, I wonder what exactly is in this supreme inheritance."
"Who cares what it is, anyway it's not something you or I can obtain."
At this time, Hao Saint Venerable's voice sounded in the ears of the elders, "You all go back first, remember not to speak of what happened here."
Hao Saint Venerable didn't want to keep these shameless old fellows.
But these elders didn't leave, instead they shamelessly said, "Saint Venerable, this old one wants to say a few words to young friend Lin."
Hao Saint Venerable said impatiently, "There's nothing to say, hurry up and get lost, or I'll take action."
Hao Saint Venerable knew exactly what these old fellows wanted to say.
They just wanted to trick Lin Moyu back home, then stuff all their hundreds and thousands of granddaughters to him.
Hao Saint Venerable wouldn't give them this chance. If anyone was going to do the stuffing, it would be him, not these guys.
Under Hao Saint Venerable's stern order to leave, the bunch of old fellows could only reluctantly depart.
After chasing away these shameless old men, Hao Saint Venerable looked at Lin Moyu.
At this moment, Lin Moyu was looking into the distance, his gaze filled with amazement and contemplation.
At the same time, the aura emanating from Lin Moyu shocked Hao Saint Venerable.
The aura emanating from Lin Moyu was the aura of the rules world.
"How is this possible!"
Hao Saint Venerable found it hard to believe. What he saw and felt was incredibly outrageous, completely defying common sense.
Lin Moyu was only a Divine Venerable, and only at the first level of Divine Venerable. How could a rules world appear on him?
That was something even those in the Other Shore realm didn't have.
"Could it be because of the Phantom Mist Sect's inheritance?"
Hao Saint Venerable couldn't figure it out and could only attribute the reason to the Phantom Mist Sect.
As an ancient great sect, it wasn't unacceptable for the Phantom Mist Sect to have some peculiar things.
Now that Lin Moyu had a rules world, what he was looking at became obvious.
At this moment, Lin Moyu's gaze was filled with complex emotions.
In his vision were broken divine paths.
Those were the paths from Saint Venerable to Supreme, where countless Saint Venerables had once stepped onto the divine path and walked to the end to become Supremes.
This was also the heavenly path built by the great world for Saint Venerables.
Unfortunately, now the divine paths were broken, so in this era, no one could become a Supreme anymore.
The divine paths existed between the virtual and the real, said to be invisible to anyone below Saint Venerable.
In fact, it wasn't because of being a Saint Venerable, but because of the rules world.
The rules world was an independent world, also having virtual and real aspects.
So when the rules world was established, one gained the qualification to see the divine paths.
In the great world, there were a hundred divine paths.
Ninety-nine of them were completely broken, unable to proceed and difficult to reforge.
Only the human race's divine path seemed broken but not quite, as if there was still a glimmer of hope.
While observing the divine paths, Lin Moyu was also thinking about the method mentioned by the Phantom Mist Heavenly Venerable.
That method of not going through Divine Venerable, transcending the world, and becoming a Supreme or even a Heavenly Venerable had been completely abandoned by him.
He let go of everything here and resolutely chose another path.
To repair the great world's rune, he first needed to reforge the divine path.
Only by reforging the divine path and becoming a Supreme of the great world would he have the qualification to approach the great world's rune and repair it.
This was just the first step, and the first step was incredibly difficult. From ancient times to now, no one had ever achieved it.
As for the other things to prepare, they were no simpler than this step.
If even the first step couldn't be achieved, everything else would just be empty talk.
Lin Moyu sighed, withdrew his gaze, and said to Hao Saint Venerable, "Senior, this junior has not failed the mission."
As he spoke, Lin Moyu took out that pearl, which contained the supreme inheritance of the Phantom Mist Sect.
Hao Saint Venerable didn't take the pearl, but said, "You look at it first, give it to me when you don't need it anymore."
Lin Moyu said, "It's fine for senior to take a look first, see if it's as expected."
Hao Saint Venerable didn't stand on ceremony, "Alright then."
He reached out to take the pearl, but his hand passed through it, unable to touch it.
Hao Saint Venerable showed a hint of surprise and tried several more times, all with the same result.
He used virtual realm laws and even virtual realm rules, but found he still couldn't touch the pearl.
The pearl was clearly right in front of him, but it was as if it didn't exist at all.
Even when he used storage treasures and expanded his rules world, he couldn't affect the pearl in any way.
Lin Moyu suddenly understood something and blurted out, "This is a virtual class object."
It was the first time Hao Saint Venerable had heard this term, "What's a virtual class object?"
Lin Moyu said, "In the inheritance of the Phantom Mist Sect, all things in the world, even the entire world, can be divided into virtual and real classes."
"What we usually come into contact with are real class objects, things we can see and touch."
"While the inheritance of the Phantom Mist Sect belongs to the virtual class inheritance, which can't be seen, touched, or even necessarily felt."
Lin Moyu briefly explained the inheritance concept of the Phantom Mist Sect, but Hao Saint Venerable clearly couldn't understand.
To understand the virtual and real, one needed to change their fundamental cognition. Just hearing about it had no effect.
Changing fundamental cognition was extremely difficult, not something ordinary people could do.
In ancient times with so many powerful beings, only three people in the entire Phantom Mist Sect managed to do it.
If it was so difficult even back then, it was even more so now.
If one couldn't understand the essence of virtual and real, they couldn't truly understand the Phantom Mist Sect, let alone obtain its supreme inheritance.
This pearl was the best example. No matter what method Hao Saint Venerable used, he couldn't touch it.
While Lin Moyu only needed to reach out to easily grasp it.
Hao Saint Venerable said with some resignation, "It seems this inheritance is not meant for me, but it's enough that you can obtain it."
Lin Moyu said, "If senior has any requests, please feel free to ask."
Hao Saint Venerable asked, "Can you talk about your experience in the inheritance tower? What exactly is the inheritance of the Phantom Mist Sect?"
Lin Moyu smiled, "Of course, even if senior didn't ask, this junior would have to tell you."
