 Chapter 2959: Since You Don't Want to Leave, Then You Don't Have to 

In the world of ice where everything is frozen, the sudden appearance of an ocean is quite strange. A layer of cold air floats on the ocean, seemingly indicating that the seawater is very cold. When the seawater hits the shore, it immediately freezes into ice, merging with the icy land. Lin Moyu arrived about a hundred meters from the shore, where the ice and fire grasses had previously been. They lingered here for a while and didn't leave immediately. Lin Moyu stood there, looking into the ocean. The seawater was transparent, with waves rolling, and within it, faint green lines flowed. Upon seeing the green lines, Lin Moyu's soul felt a chill, as if even his soul was about to freeze. "The power of the Ice Great Dao." These green lights belonged to the power of the Ice Great Dao, capable of freezing most things in the world. The seawater, too, was transformed by the Ice Great Dao, with a terrifyingly low temperature that even he couldn't withstand. The difference was that the ocean was created by a Great Dao realm expert, while the green light was the power of the Ice Great Dao itself. Undoubtedly, the green light could be used to cultivate the body, but not now; with his current physical state, touching it would mean death. Lin Moyu continued to observe the ocean, knowing that the ice and fire grasses lingered here for a reason. Finally, he saw some powder floating up and down with the waves on the ocean. Just one glance, and he knew these powders were part of the composition of the Ice and Fire Dao Stone. The deep blue powder containing the power of the Flame Great Dao and the transparent powder containing the power of the Ice Great Dao merged to eventually form the Ice and Fire Dao Stone. Both the Three Ancestors and the leader of the Hundred Herb Alliance wanted to obtain the Ice and Fire Dao Stone. Lin Moyu didn't know what the Ice and Fire Dao Stone was used for, but he was sure it contained extremely pure Great Dao power and must be of great use. 

Having learned from his previous experience, Lin Moyu didn't linger by the sea but continued following the aura of the ice and fire grasses to another location. This was about ten thousand meters from the ocean, where Lin Moyu found a space passage. The ice and fire grasses had left through this passage. 

Boom! Suddenly, the sound of the waves grew louder. In the distant sea, a waterspout appeared. Countless seawater was lifted, turning into ice blocks in the air, then falling like raindrops. The entire space filled with cold, and the temperature plummeted. The power of death that Lin Moyu had placed on the outermost layer began to flow sluggishly and started to freeze. Lin Moyu's expression changed; this scene was very similar to the situation in the previous world of flames. Without hesitation, he rushed into the space passage, choosing to leave as the best option. Lin Moyu decisively and without hesitation bid farewell to the fourth layer of the Ice and Fire Secret Treasury. 

In the fifth layer, Lin Moyu still found himself in an icy world. But the temperature wasn't as low as in the fourth layer; it felt like an ordinary winter, and even without using his Great Dao true form, Lin Moyu could move freely here. The main reason was that the low temperature here didn't contain the power of the Great Dao, so it couldn't freeze him to death. 

"The fifth layer, if I'm not mistaken, is where the powers of fire and ice will converge to form the Ice and Fire Dao Stone." "As for the location of the convergence..." Lin Moyu's lips curled slightly. The ice and fire grasses had become his best guide; as long as he followed them, he wouldn't go wrong. Lin Moyu sensed the aura of the ice and fire grasses and followed the path they had taken. 

Soon, he left the icy world and entered a forest. The forest was dense with ancient trees, seemingly untouched for countless years, exuding a primitive aura. As Lin Moyu stepped into the forest, he stopped. His intuition told him he was being watched. "This forest should have been arranged by the leader of the Hundred Herb Alliance. He really has been here before, maybe more than once." The leader of the Hundred Herb Alliance was mysterious, likely a Great Dao realm expert like the Three Ancestors. It was normal for him to have visited here and left some arrangements. 

At this point, even if discovered, Lin Moyu had no choice but to press on. He continued following the aura left by the ice and fire grasses. The aura grew weaker as if purified by the forest. If not for Lin Moyu's extraordinary intuition, he would have lost the trail. 

Passing through the forest, a wave of heat greeted him as he entered a fiery land. There were many barren mountain peaks, each with flowing lava. Between the worlds of ice and fire lay an ancient forest, creating a peculiar environment. Beyond the volcanic range lay another group of ancient forests, lush mountains, one after another. Beyond the ancient forest was another icy land. 

The environment of the fifth layer was peculiar, alternating between cold, forest, fire, and forest. Lin Moyu didn't know how far he had traveled, how many icy and fiery lands he had crossed, but he knew he was heading in the right direction. The powers of ice and fire were gradually strengthening. The Great Dao power, which wasn't present initially, began to appear. Now, not only were the ice and fire grasses guiding him, but the Great Dao power was also showing him the way. 

Lin Moyu traversed mountains and valleys without flying. Since the ice and fire grasses didn't fly, he didn't either. The rules of the treasury were unpredictable, and there must have been a reason the grasses didn't fly. Who knew what dangers might lurk in the air? 

After walking for over ten days, Lin Moyu stopped. In the lush ancient forest, an ice and fire grass came into view. The ice and fire grass stood on a mountain peak, no longer a small grass but incredibly large. The ice and fire grass was over a hundred meters tall, with a thick body, the two grasses intertwined, appearing to have fused. 

Lin Moyu knew he had been discovered the moment he entered the ancient forest, so he wasn't surprised to find the ice and fire grass waiting for him. "Human, are you from the Lu Feng Merchant Guild?" A majestic voice rang out like thunder. Lin Moyu replied, "More or less, the Three Ancestors sent me." Although he wasn't from the Lu Feng Merchant Guild, being entrusted by the Three Ancestors, he could be considered part of it. Upon hearing the Three Ancestors, the ice and fire grass snorted coldly, "That old guy is still thinking about the Ice and Fire Dao Stone." 

Lin Moyu smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be the leader of the Hundred Herb Alliance, right?" The ice and fire grass neither confirmed nor denied, saying in a low voice, "I won't kill you out of respect for that old guy, but leave immediately." When separated, the ice and fire grass had the cultivation of the Dao Sovereign Fourth Realm. Now, united, its realm had risen to the Dao Sovereign Fifth Realm. In terms of cultivation alone, it was much stronger than Lin Moyu. 

However, Lin Moyu remained unfazed, "I was entrusted by the Three Ancestors to find a way to obtain the Ice and Fire Dao Stone. Leaving now wouldn't be appropriate." The ice and fire grass said in a low voice, "Don't want to leave? Then die!" With those words, the ice and fire grass suddenly spewed a ball of flames, transforming into a giant dragon charging at Lin Moyu. It attacked without warning, decisive and ruthless, as expected of the leader's avatar. Since Lin Moyu didn't want to leave, then he wouldn't have to.
