## Chapter 2667: My Future Path

Lin Moyu used a clever method to gain the approval of the Jade Sword. In his dantian, the original sword energy formed a small emerald green sword. On both sides of the hilt, two words were engraved: one for "jade" and one for "Dao." This sword symbolized the dual approval of the Jade Sword and the Dao Sword and was called the Jade Dao Sword.

However, after gaining this approval, Lin Moyu realized there were both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that the Jade Dao Sword could constantly temper the Dao heart, subtly making it stronger, the will more determined, and resistant to external evils. The disadvantage was that the Jade Dao Sword lost its two functions of breaking through cultivation bottlenecks and killing enemies. Tempering the Dao heart was the real function of the Jade Dao Sword; breaking through bottlenecks and killing enemies were not its main abilities.

The Jade Sword Spirit seemed to sense Lin Moyu's mood. "You don't have to feel sorry. Using the Origin Sword Qi to break through bottlenecks is not a good thing. Real cultivation requires being down-to-earth and relying on one's own strength to move forward. Any behavior that relies on external forces will eventually become a hindrance and impede your progress."

Lin Moyu smiled and asked, "Who told you this truth?"

The Jade Sword Spirit replied, "It was the person who refined us."

Lin Moyu detected something unusual in its words. "Isn't the person who refined you your master?"

The Jade Sword Spirit said, "No, it just refined us and placed us here to suppress the world."

Lin Moyu was slightly stunned. "Suppress the world?"

The Jade Sword Spirit explained, "It seems that the Origin Continent lost something, and we are a substitute for that thing."

Something was lost, and the Seventy-two Origin Swords were just a substitute for that thing. Lin Moyu felt as if he had stumbled upon an incredible secret.

Then he asked the most important question, "If someone gets all of you, can they become the master of the Origin Continent?"

The Jade Sword Spirit said, "I don't know. That person didn't tell us."

Even the Jade Sword Spirit didn't know, making it clear that the legend couldn't be taken seriously. However, over the years, no one had ever been recognized by all seventy-two swords, so it was still hard to say whether the legend was true or not.

Lin Moyu said, "I have a few more questions."

"Please ask," the Jade Sword Spirit responded politely. It seemed that the appearance of the old man in the green robe had really scared it. Even now, the cracks on the sword had not completely disappeared.

Lin Moyu asked, "What is the power of the avenue you use?"

The Jade Sword Spirit said, "I don't know either. Our power comes from the person who refined us, but we only know how to use it and don't know the source."

After chatting for a while, Lin Moyu found that the Jade Sword Spirit didn't know much. It had been here for countless years and couldn't communicate with too many people due to restrictions. All the information it knew came partly from the person who refined it.

"Then do you know who the person who refined you is? What realm is he in?"

The Jade Sword Spirit gently vibrated the sword body. "It calls itself the Supreme Dao Lord, but it is not clear what realm it is in. But a strong man in the ninth realm of Dao Zun is like an ant in front of him!"

As it spoke, the Jade Sword Spirit projected an ancient picture. A person appeared in the picture, and Lin Moyu felt his greatness at a glance. He stood there like a road, lingering in time and space, spanning ancient and modern times. In front of him was the Jade Sword, standing tall and upright. The Jade Sword in the picture was obviously just formed and far from having that vast aura.

At this time, someone rushed over, and it was a Dao Zun. The Dao Zun carried the Great Dao, and the Dao pattern was revealed in the sky and earth, making him extremely powerful. The Dao Zun rushed straight to the Jade Sword, as if he wanted to seize it. As a result, the powerful Dao Zun was wiped out and turned into nothingness with a casual finger from that person.

The Jade Sword Spirit explained, "This is the picture I recorded when I was just born. That Dao Zun was in the ninth realm."

A Dao Zun in the ninth realm was destroyed by a single finger from the Supreme Dao Lord, showing how powerful he was. Lin Moyu thought of those beings he had seen before, standing on the avenue outside the stars. But he couldn't compare who was more powerful between those people and the Supreme Dao Lord.

Lin Moyu asked, "Who do you think is more powerful, the old man in the green robe or the Supreme Dao Lord who refined you?"

The Jade Sword Spirit trembled and then vibrated. "I don't know. Anyway, it's easy for both of them to destroy me."

The level difference was too big, and the Jade Sword Spirit couldn't compare. However, Lin Moyu was very clear that the Jade Sword was stronger than the first Zun Jiu Consciousness but had not reached the realm above Dao Zun. For this question, Lin Moyu could only explore it himself in the future.

The Origin Continent was not as simple as he thought. The real strong ones were actually gone. In the Origin Continent, the strongest person known at present was in the ninth realm of Dao Zun. It was hard to say whether there were Dao Zun in the nine seven-star forces. At least not on the surface; whether there were Dao Zun in secret, only they themselves knew. Lin Moyu thought there should be, otherwise, a Dao Zun strongman outside could easily destroy them. It was not as easy as one might think to become the top force in the Origin Continent.

Lin Moyu bid farewell to the Jade Sword Spirit and left the area with the Jade Dao Sword. This time, he gained a lot. The Jade Dao Sword continued to emit magical power, tempering the Dao heart in a way that Lin Moyu could not understand.

"The body, soul, luck, and Dao heart—none of them can be missing. Any one of them will become a shackle. If you want to become a real top power, every one of them must be strong. This is the foundation. Only when the foundation is solid can you move forward step by step."

On the way back, Lin Moyu once again saw those practitioners who were struggling to move forward and temper their Dao hearts. Dao Zun, Tian Zun, Zhi Zun... Lin Moyu found that each of them had flaws in their foundation. Either they lacked luck, or they lacked a Dao heart, or their physical bodies were not strong enough. In short, none of them could be perfect, and it would be difficult for them to reach a higher level when the time came.

"The Ten-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal tempers the soul, the Son of the Moon strengthens luck, and the Jade Dao Sword tempers the Dao heart. Now all that's missing is the physical body. How to temper the physical body? It seems that I need to find a corresponding method."

Lin Moyu saw his future path clearly and knew how to proceed.

After returning to Yujian City, Lin Moyu suddenly frowned. "What happened? Is the Dao Sect here?"

At this moment, Yujian City was in chaos. Seven of the ten ice towers had collapsed. The highest ten-thousand-meter ice tower in the center had also collapsed. In Yujian City, a large number of houses had collapsed, and one-third of the city wall had fallen. One formation after another had collapsed, and a large number of people and horses from the Hanshui Holy Land were maintaining order.

Lin Moyu's heart tightened, and he immediately rushed to his yard. Xiaoyue and Xiaowu were still in the yard; he hoped nothing had happened to them. But with Xiaosan there, there shouldn't be any trouble. He was relieved when he returned to the yard. His yard was not affected at all, and Xiaoyue and Xiaowu were safe and sound. The two carefree girls were still playing.

When Lin Moyu came back, Xiaolu just called out and then continued playing. Xiaowu played her heartless role to the fullest.
