Chapter 3100: The Third Ancestor Even Profits from the Dead
Half a day later, Jin Lan took Lin Moyu to the Ancient Battle Secret Realm.
Jin Lan used the origin spirit vein under Purple Gold City for teleportation, instantly teleporting several million li to the edge of the Golden Lion clan's territory.
Lin Moyu was somewhat surprised. He knew there was an origin spirit vein under Purple Gold City, and it was an extremely high-grade one, probably eighth-grade.
Generally, origin spirit veins were refined by the clan leader, and only the clan leader could use them for teleportation.
He didn't expect Jin Lan could also use the origin spirit vein for teleportation, and directly teleport several million li.
Being able to extend several million li indeed confirmed Lin Moyu's guess - this origin spirit vein was indeed eighth-grade.
Jin Lan explained, "In our beast race, origin spirit veins are refined jointly by the clan leader and clan elders, so I can also use the origin spirit vein for teleportation. The day sir was exterminating the Blazing Divine Eagle clan, the reason I could arrive so quickly was also because of the origin spirit vein."
Lin Moyu smiled, "Multiple people jointly refining an origin spirit vein - this method is the first I've heard of. I've learned something new."
Jin Lan said, "This is a method passed down by the Beast Emperor. It's indeed very useful."
So it was passed down by the Beast Emperor. Lin Moyu could understand.
This method posed no threat to the Beast Emperor himself, and could enhance the beast race's strength. Why not do it?
Jin Lan waved her hand, conjuring a huge golden lion. She stood on the lion's back and invited Lin Moyu, "Sir, please come up."
Lin Moyu landed on the lion's back. The golden lion immediately turned into a beam of golden light, shooting towards the distance.
Lin Moyu said, "It's said the beast race has no flying treasures. I see this dao true body transformation method is no slower than flying treasures."
Jin Lan said, "This is also passed down by the Beast Emperor. We condense an avatar, then transform the avatar into a dao true body. When traveling, it can be used as a treasure. In battle, it can also help us. Although its strength is slightly weaker, it's still a helper."
Lin Moyu smiled, "The Beast Emperor indeed has good methods."
The Beast Emperor, in his high position, wasn't doing nothing.
He had actually done quite a lot for the beast race. Just the secret techniques he passed down were numerous. These secret techniques greatly enhanced the beast race's strength.
Add to that the Beast Emperor's own strength and the beast race's concept of respecting the strong, it wasn't hard to imagine how the Beast Emperor achieved his current position.
The golden lion flew several million li, arriving at the northwest corner of the Northern Continent, where the Ancient Battle Secret Realm was located.
When still a hundred thousand li from the Ancient Battle Secret Realm, Lin Moyu already sensed a powerful battle intent.
This was a special aura that could only exist on battlefields.
In the former great world, such auras existed in some ancient battlefields.
From afar, one could see large patches of dark clouds. Black winds blew within the clouds. These winds could strip flesh from bones, very terrifying.
Lin Moyu could feel that the most terrifying thing in the wind was curses. The wind was full of soldiers' obsessions and resentment, not dissipating for countless years.
When still ten thousand li away, one could already hear countless wailing sounds.
Jin Lan said, "These winds are very dangerous. Sir must be careful of these winds after entering the Ancient Battle Secret Realm."
"These winds aren't in fixed places. They wander around. Try not to be blown by them."
"If you really can't avoid them, you can find a nearby secret realm to enter, or find a place like a cave to hide in. That can also avoid them."
Jin Lan spoke from her own experience. At this time, the golden lion had already begun to descend rapidly, falling from thousands of meters high to low-altitude flight, gradually slowing down.
Getting closer and closer to the Ancient Battle Secret Realm, Lin Moyu saw people constantly arriving from all directions.
Although the Ancient Battle Secret Realm was large, there was only one entrance. The ten thousand people entering the secret realm would all go in through the same entrance.
One could imagine that this entrance must be crowded.
Of the ten thousand spots, over 90% belonged to the beast races.
Beast races had different body shapes and appearances. Some beast races' true forms were tens of meters tall. Even in human form, they exceeded ten meters.
As such, ten thousand people crowded together looked more numerous than several hundred thousand humans.
From afar, Lin Moyu saw the entrance.
The entire Ancient Battle Secret Realm was enveloped by an invisible force. Only one place flickered with wave-like luster - that place was the entrance.
The entrance was hundreds of meters wide and over a thousand meters high. The invisible force rolled like waves.
Near the entrance, huge iron stones floated in mid-air.
There were many iron stones, some high, some low, some near, some far, some big, some small.
On the largest and nearest iron stones to the entrance, camps had already been established.
The ten strongest royal clans of the beast races occupied the largest and nearest iron stone.
Then on the other large and small iron stones, various beast races also stood.
Although there were only ten thousand spots, the people who came weren't just ten thousand. Without counting carefully, there were certainly more than fifty or sixty thousand.
Lin Moyu finally understood why Jin Lan said coming early would attract attention.
Beast race people from various small clans liked to watch the ten royal clans, their eyes full of envy.
Moreover, those beast races would point and discuss the royal clan members, not maliciously, but discussing how strong those royal clan members were, who was most likely to become the heir.
Simply put, they were gossiping.
Lin Moyu asked, "Aren't there only ten thousand spots? Why have so many people come?"
Jin Lan said, "This is because the rules of the Ancient Battle Secret Realm are different from other secret realms. Each time it opens, the duration is different. The longest recorded time was over 500 days, the shortest only 100 days."
"When the secret realm opens, if someone dies inside, their spot becomes available, and people can enter again."
"It's precisely because of this rule that the Beast Emperor established corresponding rules."
Jin Lan explained the detailed rules of the Ancient Battle Secret Realm to Lin Moyu.
For example, the Golden Lion clan was allocated 500 spots. These 500 spots belonged directly to them.
If their clan members died inside, one of the 500 spots would become available, and would be filled by Golden Lion clan people. Others couldn't take it.
This also explained why the Golden Lion clan brought far more people than the spots allowed.
These people were actually substitutes.
As for those spots sold by small clans, their ownership belonged to the Lu Feng Trading Company.
If people who bought spots from the Lu Feng Trading Company died inside, the Lu Feng Trading Company could send their own people in, or sell the spots again.
Lin Moyu's mouth twitched once or twice, "The Third Ancestor really even profits from the dead."
Needless to say, only the Third Ancestor would do such business.
The Third Ancestor didn't care about people dying. Making money was the hard truth.
Lin Moyu didn't know why the Third Ancestor wanted to make money so badly. He was already the richest person in the entire Origin Continent. Others couldn't catch up to him no matter how hard they tried. But he wasn't satisfied at all, still so shrewd.
Lin Moyu's arrival on the golden lion immediately attracted the attention of many beast races.
The gossip fire of countless small clan beast races immediately burned fiercely.
"Who is this person? How can he ride on a golden lion?"
"I don't know who he is, but I know the person beside him. That's Great Elder Jin Lan of the Golden Lion clan, a top ninth-level Dao Venerable powerhouse."
"Wow, so powerful. But I see Great Elder Jin Lan seems quite polite to him."
"I noticed that too. Who exactly is this guy?"
"Clan Leader Jin Mie actually came out to welcome him personally."
