 Chapter 2957: That Alliance Leader Has Been Here Before 

While tracking the queen bug, Lin Moyu suddenly sensed the presence of the ice and fire grasses. By this time, the queen bug had already escaped far away, separated by several layers of space. Lin Moyu wasn't worried; with the Great Dao Lock, no matter how much the queen bug fled, he could find it. Knowing that the queen bug could cut through space, it wouldn't be so easy for it to escape next time. Lin Moyu was more curious about what the two ice and fire grasses were up to. 

Meanwhile, he had another question. Was this queen bug the one the Three Ancestors referred to, the special pet of the extraterrestrial god? When he saw the queen bug earlier, he didn't feel any aversion. If it were the extraterrestrial god's pet, he should have felt an aversion. "Could it be that this queen bug isn't the pet of the extraterrestrial god?" "Or does it have a way to deceive the Great Dao?" Lin Moyu felt the first possibility was more likely; deceiving the Great Dao was extremely difficult. However, since it was a special divine pet, it wasn't entirely impossible. 

He passed through the void space and found the connection point to the next layer of space. Punching out, the Space Great Dao roared, and his fist, imbued with spatial power, opened a passage, which Lin Moyu entered headfirst. 

Before him was a bright scene, with a rich red color rushing towards him, revealing a sea of fire. In the Ice and Fire Secret Treasury, ice and fire were fundamental. This sea of fire was much denser than the outer layer, with a much higher temperature. "The first layer of space is the world of ice and fire." "The second layer is the void world of those bugs." "The third layer has become a world of fire!" Lin Moyu murmured to himself, sensing that the flames in this space seemed different. They were stronger, hotter, and contained more chaotic power. The sea of fire seemed to contain countless wills, and he knew without trying that the flames here couldn't be used for body cultivation. 

Scanning the surroundings, he saw a blue light in the distance. Lin Moyu immediately flew towards the blue light. The red flames began to recede, and the blue light filled his vision. The color of the flames turned blue, with a hint of purple, making the flames more noble and terrifying. Lin Moyu stood at the edge of the blue flames, not daring to approach, feeling they were unsafe. The blue flames' terrifying nature exceeded his limits. Especially the faint purple light within the blue flames, which Lin Moyu felt was deadly. He knew that if it touched him, he might be reduced to ashes instantly. 

With a serious expression mixed with anticipation, he thought, "This is the true Great Dao Fire, not a spell flame borrowed from the Great Dao's power, but the real Great Dao Fire, the fundamental power of the Great Dao." "Even for a Great Dao realm, truly wielding the Great Dao Fire is not easy." "The Great Dao Fire has no impurities, extremely pure, suitable for body refinement, but my body can't withstand it." He looked forward to the day when his body could be strong enough to use the pure Great Dao Fire for body refinement. But for now, he could only look and imagine, not touch. 

Lin Moyu followed the edge of the blue and red flames to the position he had sensed earlier. After flying tens of thousands of kilometers through the flames, he reached his destination. Lin Moyu carefully sensed, confirming his earlier perception was correct. "The ice and fire grasses stayed here; they, like me, didn't dare to go in." "It seems the ice and fire grasses also have limits and fear the Great Dao Fire." Lin Moyu's mind stirred, and the true form of the Time Great Dao appeared. A surge of time power flowed, performing a time reversal on this area. The true form of the Time Great Dao allowed him to more easily harness its power. 

A hazy Great Dao appeared, with a turbulent river of time flowing from the distant past to the distant future. The Time Great Dao carried the river of time, recording all past events of the Origin Continent. The light of the Great Dao fell, retrieving the events that occurred in this area from the river of time, displaying them before Lin Moyu. This time reversal didn't need to go far back, at most ten days, which was not difficult for Lin Moyu. 

Lin Moyu saw the ice and fire grasses arriving here three days ago. How they got here was unclear. The ice and fire grasses intertwined, the power of ice and fire merging, enhancing each other's strength. Lin Moyu understood that the two grasses were avatars of the Hundred Herb Alliance's leader. Due to their different attributes, they appeared as two, but they were actually one entity. Through time reversal, Lin Moyu saw the ice and fire grasses staying here for a whole day. Several times they tried to enter, but upon touching the blue flames, they immediately retreated. The blue flames were also harmful to them. Lin Moyu clearly saw the edges of the grasses being burned by the blue flames, and upon contact, the ice part exploded with steam. The blue flames were too hot; the fire part could endure a bit, but the ice part would be incinerated. Even in the red flames, the ice grass had to rely on the fire grass to remain unharmed. Unable to withstand the blue flames, the purple Heavenly Dao Fire was out of the question. The strands of Great Dao Fire roamed the blue flame world, and touching them meant certain death. 

After a day, the ice and fire grasses finally left, seemingly unwilling, looking back repeatedly. Lin Moyu was curious why they came here; they must have had a purpose. The time reversal locked onto their departure time, and he tracked their direction. After flying a few kilometers, they suddenly ascended and disappeared into space. Lin Moyu examined the departure point of the ice and fire grasses, using the Space Great Dao to sense, and finally discovered a clue. There was a very hidden spatial passage here, difficult to detect, leading directly to the next layer of space. 

"They must know something." "Such a hidden spatial passage, even I found it hard to sense, but they knew clearly." "Could it be that the leader of the Hundred Herb Alliance has been here before?" Lin Moyu felt cautious, sensing that this matter wasn't simple. 

He returned to where the ice and fire grasses had stayed, wanting to see why they were there. As avatars of the Hundred Herb Alliance's leader, they wouldn't waste a day here without reason. Standing there, Lin Moyu looked into the blue flames, searching carefully, leaving no stone unturned. Finally, he saw something unusual in the blue flames. Amidst the gaps where the purple light moved, Lin Moyu saw a bit of dark blue substance. These substances were as fine as powder, dark blue in color, barely noticeable in the blue flames. Lin Moyu looked at the dark blue powder and suddenly understood what it was.
