 Chapter 2090: Pointing You in the Right Direction

The ancient box and the inheritance pearl flew to Lin Moyu one after the other.

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable's voice came simultaneously, "The inheritance pearl records the method of refining rune artifacts. As for the contents of the box, you'll have to open it yourself in the future to see."

"It might be useful, or it might not."

"You are quite impressive, unconventional, able to think of attacking me instead of just targeting the sigil sword."

"This shows decisiveness in your character, without hesitation."

"This is best. If we had been like this back then, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation."

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable's voice carried a hint of melancholy, like a sigh after completing a significant task.

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable looked into the void, "I know you have more questions, but this fragment of my soul doesn't have complete memories, so I don't know much."

"What you need to know, you will eventually find out. Seeing the World-Burning Fire, I know he must have made some arrangements."

"Perhaps his choice was correct, and we were all wrong."

Lin Moyu couldn't quite grasp Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable's thoughts. From his tone, it seemed he wanted to tell him something, but due to incomplete memories, he couldn't be sure if what he said was correct.

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable's temperament was too eccentric, sometimes unpredictable. Lin Moyu could only tentatively say, "Senior, I accidentally saw the Boundary Sea."

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable's gaze, originally looking into the distant void, was suddenly attracted, falling on Lin Moyu.

His gaze was piercing, almost tangible, "You said you saw the Boundary Sea? How did you see it? What did you see?"

Lin Moyu said, "I saw the Great World, saw it floating and moving in the Boundary Sea."

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable immediately asked, "Were you above the Boundary Sea or below it?"

Lin Moyu said, "Above the Boundary Sea."

At that time, he felt the Boundary Sea was very dangerous, and going down would mean death.

"Above the Boundary Sea, above the Boundary Sea..." Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable kept murmuring. Lin Moyu could hear that there seemed to be a significant difference between being above and below the Boundary Sea.

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable said, "You must have seen the Boundary Sea through a shell."

Lin Moyu directly admitted it and took out the shell.

The shell had now become ordinary, no different from a regular shell, seemingly in a dormant state, with no idea when it would recover.

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable looked at the shell, seemingly nostalgic, "It really is it. I didn't expect to see it again."

Lin Moyu asked, "Senior, what is the use of this shell?"

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable looked at Lin Moyu, "It has great use, but for you now, it can only let you see the scenes outside the world."

"When you become stronger and reach the Supreme Realm, it will have other uses."

"As for what specific use, you'll naturally know when the time comes."

"Your luck is really good, to even obtain a Boundary Sea Shell. It seems that timid fellow Mist didn't choose the wrong person."

So this thing is called the Boundary Sea Shell, and it indeed let him see the Boundary Sea.

Lin Moyu felt that this Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable was still approachable, so he immediately asked, "Senior, what exactly is the Boundary Sea?"

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable chuckled, not answering Lin Moyu directly, "There is a rule you must always remember: to know more, you must reach higher realms. If your realm is insufficient, the more you know, the faster you die!"

Lin Moyu naturally understood this principle, but he still asked, "Senior, I saw a world in the Boundary Sea about to collide with the Great World!"

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable said, "A troubled time indeed. Is the end of the Great World approaching? How long until that world collides with the Great World?"

"About 1300 to 1400 years."

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable nodded, "Heaven never seals off all exits. The Great World still has a chance, but it depends on your era to grasp it."

"I can't help you, but I can point you in two directions. First, if you reach the Saint Venerable realm one day, you can seek out the Ghost Race."

"Perhaps they can help you."

"Second, find the things I left behind, they might be of help!"

As his voice faded, Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable's figure also faded, already leaving.

Lin Moyu guessed he should have gone to the Great World Rune. The Venerables of that time felt guilty towards this world.

The final destination of these Venerable souls was the Great World Rune. They wanted to do something for the Great World Rune with their remnant souls.

But what exactly they did to make amends, Lin Moyu didn't know.

He was still far from the realm where he could touch the Great World Rune, too far.

He remembered Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable's words, murmuring, "The Ghost Race, does this legendary race really exist?"

"Can they help me? Could it be that the Ghost Race is not an alien race, but a race created by a certain Venerable?"

Lin Moyu instinctively thought that the Ghost Race might be like the Starry Sky Merman Clan and the Starry Sky Celestial Clan, a race created by a certain Venerable.

But since it could only be sought after reaching the Saint Venerable realm, there was no need to rush now.

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable left, and Lin Moyu also sat back in the warship, re-entering deep space.

In the warship, Lin Moyu took out the inheritance pearl and began to absorb the inheritance within.

This inheritance was the last one left by Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable, and also the final piece of the rune path puzzle.

From the basic knowledge of runes to the splitting, fusion, rune arrays, fine-tuning, and now the method of refining rune artifacts.

Unknowingly, Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable had already imparted all the knowledge of the rune path to Lin Moyu.

Ultimately, how far Lin Moyu could go depended entirely on his own fortune.

A few days later, while digesting the inheritance in deep space, Lin Moyu was awakened by a slight tremor.

The tremor came from the deepest part of the Great World. At the same time, he felt a causal connection with Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable disappear.

"Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable indeed went to the Great World Rune, but I don't know what he did."

"The past is the past. Even if he were still alive, he would have no further connection with the Great World."

Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable left the inheritance, left his soul, but did not leave himself.

Even though Lin Moyu obtained the inheritance, he had no further causal relationship with him.

This causal relationship was cut off by Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable himself, for deeper reasons.

Not only Saint Sigil Heavenly Venerable, but Lin Moyu also felt that other Venerables were the same.

Just like how Mist Venerable left Little Mist here but cut off all causal ties with Little Mist and severed all connections with the Great World.

Those Venerables were very decisive.

Lin Moyu could understand them, but he didn't like their approach.

But from another perspective, it seemed there was nothing wrong with it.

After all, there is a saying among humans: "If one does not look out for oneself, heaven and earth will destroy him."

Lin Moyu didn't blame the Venerables, he just didn't like it.

He closed his eyes and continued studying runes.

With the method of refining rune artifacts, and successfully refining one, the combat power of rune masters would greatly increase.

The notion that rune masters are not good at combat would begin to change at this moment.

As long as rune masters possess powerful rune artifacts, their combat power would definitely not be weaker than cultivators of the same realm, possibly even stronger.

Lin Moyu felt a bit moved and had the urge to refine rune artifacts.

The warship flew farther and farther in deep space, away from the human race, away from the war.
