 Chapter 3116: Only a Piece of Bone

After Su Fengze left, Lin Moyu reorganized Su Fengze's words.

Listening was one thing, organizing the information oneself was another.

In the process of organizing information, one could digest the obtained information more deeply, thereby deducing deeper content.

Su Fengze had already explained things very clearly, so it was also very easy for Lin Moyu to organize.

Basically, the higher the military rank, the greater the task difficulty and the more rewards obtained.

Not only could it enhance cultivation speed and bloodline level.

If one could over-fulfill tasks, they could also obtain some extra rewards. As for what the extra rewards were, it was hard to say.

It could be rapid promotion in military rank, or obtaining some materials or treasures.

Moreover, these materials and treasures were all of extremely high quality, good things from prehistoric times.

There was also one item Su Fengze mentioned unintentionally in the information - the Origin Ancestral Land.

That this place would be related to the Origin Ancestral Land was indeed very surprising to Lin Moyu.

The Origin Ancestral Land, in the Third Ancestor's words, could be said to be the most mysterious place.

Many people had been there, but very little information was obtained.

The most well-known among them was the Origin Realm. In the Origin Ancestral Land, one could obtain an Origin Realm. Taking the Origin Realm, one could go to the Realm Sea to evolve it into various worlds, engaging in world competition.

Cultivating the Origin Realm from a first-grade world to a fifth-grade world, then harvesting it to obtain world origin, thereby helping oneself advance to Dao Venerable.

This was what many cultivators were doing. Among them, some cultivators indeed needed the origin of Realm Sea worlds to advance due to their own aptitude issues.

But there was another group of cultivators, like Lei Hao and Lu Fengyao, who actually wouldn't be hindered in advancing to Dao Venerable with or without the Realm Sea competition.

The Realm Sea competition was just adding an experience to their cultivation journey. Their goals were higher.

Apart from the Origin Realm, Lin Moyu didn't know much about the Origin Ancestral Land.

He had once promised the Third Ancestor that after entering the Origin Ancestral Land, he would share the information obtained there with the Third Ancestor.

This also corroborated his guess that the Third Ancestor didn't have much information about the Origin Ancestral Land, otherwise he wouldn't need Lin Moyu's information.

As for the quota to enter the Origin Ancestral Land, as a son of Taiyin, he naturally had a quota.

Besides this, Lin Moyu hadn't heard about the Origin Ancestral Land from any other sources.

Now suddenly hearing information about the Origin Ancestral Land here also aroused Lin Moyu's curiosity.

Lin Moyu slowly descended from the air. Although the seal would mark out task points, how to trigger tasks still needed to be discovered by oneself.

Landing on the ground, there was no secret realm here.

Lin Moyu observed the surroundings. At a glance, this place was no different from others.

With the Undead Eye opened, he didn't see any living beings either.

The living beings in the Ancient Battle Secret Realm were called battle beasts.

Battle beasts were very strong, at least stronger than spirit beasts of the same level. Even ordinary cultivators found it difficult to contend with battle beasts at the same level.

The most troublesome thing was that many battle beasts appeared in groups. Every time, there would always be a batch of people who died at the hands of battle beasts.

There were no battle beasts here, it was very quiet, even the wind had disappeared.

This point made Lin Moyu realize something was amiss.

His gaze became sharp, searching the surroundings.

A moment later, he finally discovered a clue in a big tree.

At first glance, this tree looked no different from other ancient trees.

But near the root area, covered by ancient grass, Lin Moyu discovered a finger.

This finger was mostly inside the tree, with only a small section of the little finger outside.

If not for the seal pointing out the task location, even he would have naturally missed this place.

Even with the seal's guidance, one would still miss it if not careful.

Lin Moyu came to the side of the finger. After endless years, the finger was left with only bone, the flesh long gone.

Even for Dao Venerable powerhouses, their flesh still couldn't withstand endless years. Only bones could contend with the years.

Lin Moyu examined the finger left outside the tree, confirming the finger was still intact and connected to the inside of the tree.

"With the finger left outside the tree, there should be a corpse inside. Even if not a complete corpse, it shouldn't be just one finger."

Lin Moyu placed his hand on the ancient tree, death force flowing over, corroding the ancient tree.

Under the effect of death force, the ancient tree quickly withered and rotted.

Lin Moyu controlled the death force with extreme precision. He didn't want to damage the corpse.

He was now a member of the Divine Rune Army, and the corpse before him was a dead comrade, which couldn't be damaged.

The events when first entering the ancient battlefield were still fresh in memory. Heroic spirits couldn't be desecrated, otherwise there would be punishment.

In Lin Moyu's view, the entire ancient battlefield was a super large secret realm, with supreme powerhouses establishing powerful rules on the ancient battlefield.

This supreme powerhouse should be at the Great Dao realm, so even ninth-level Dao Venerables couldn't resist the rules he established.

The actions of all entrants had to follow the rules.

Lin Moyu even felt that the reason the Ancient Battle Secret Realm formed and evolved into its current state, with battle intent not diminishing and obsessions not dissipating, including the seals and tasks of later entrants, was all related to that powerful being.

Just don't know if that powerful being is still alive or already dead.

The ancient tree withered and rotted under death force. Lin Moyu waved out a gust of wind, blowing away all the rotted parts.

He was like a careful craftsman, carefully peeling out the corpse hidden in the tree trunk.

Gradually, a complete hand appeared.

Lin Moyu looked at the fingers, muttering softly, "Not a human hand. The fingers are two sections longer than human fingers, very slender."

"And there are only four fingers, no signs of being cut off, indeed only four."

Just looking at the hand, Lin Moyu could already determine that this corpse wasn't human.

Next to be revealed was the arm.

The arm was also thinner and longer than a human arm, and had three sections - upper, middle, and lower, adding up to over two meters.

Even for humans with very large bodies, the length of a single arm would be hard to exceed two meters.

Unless it had changed size greatly, but that would only be temporary. The true physical origin wouldn't change.

After the arm was revealed, Lin Moyu continued to corrode the ancient tree with death force, hoping to see more of the skeleton.

What could be determined so far was that the subject wasn't human, and judging from the remaining aura of the bones, the subject's realm when alive should have been between fourth and sixth-level Dao Venerable.

Bang!

The arm bone suddenly detached from the tree trunk, falling to the ground.

Lin Moyu was slightly stunned, "Just a section of arm bone? Or is the corpse incomplete?"

Lin Moyu didn't stop, continuing to corrode the ancient tree.

Before determining whether the corpse was just one section, Lin Moyu couldn't completely destroy the ancient tree.

A moment later, the ancient tree was completely corroded. Apart from that broken arm, there were no other bones.

Lin Moyu looked at the broken arm on the ground, frowning slightly, "Really just one section. Looking at the wound on the broken arm, it doesn't seem to be caused by external force, but damaged from the inside."

"But it doesn't look like self-detonation either, after all the bones are still relatively intact."

Lin Moyu pondered his memories, quickly finding a possibility.

"It's said there's a secret technique called 'Soldier untie' (dismantling). Although not as powerful as self-detonation, it doesn't lead to mutual destruction. After Soldier untie, there's still a chance for rebirth."

"Soldier untie is for the flesh, preserving the bones for rebirth."

"But if Soldier untie fails..."
