 Calamity Chapter 3152: Think Thrice Before Asking, Beware of Trouble from Your Mouth

Lord Wentian spoke clearly - agree, and this old man will answer you. 

Don't agree, and I won't say much more to you.

Lin Moyu naturally understood his words.

Now there were two paths before him: either agree to Lord Wentian's terms, or leave. Lord Wentian wouldn't force him.

Lin Moyu indeed had questions to ask, and Lord Wentian's rewards were truly attractive.

Lin Moyu said, "With senior offering such generous rewards, junior naturally agrees."

Lord Wentian showed a satisfied smile, lightly pointing a finger at Lin Moyu.

A faint yet extremely strange power fell on Lin Moyu.

His general's seal glowed slightly, the patterns on it changing somewhat, becoming more exquisite.

The key was that the "twelve" at the bottom of the seal changed to "two".

This also meant Lin Moyu was the second person to accept the task.

He instantly thought of the person Su Fengze mentioned - a genius from the Celestial Fox clan who had also reached sixth-grade general.

Afterwards, he mysteriously disappeared and never appeared again. Everyone believed he had died.

Lin Moyu realized that what Lord Wentian wanted him to do was very dangerous.

But now, he had already boarded the ship and couldn't jump off for the time being.

Lord Wentian said, "You've probably already guessed, you're the second person to reach sixth-grade general."

Lin Moyu asked, "What about the previous one?"

Lord Wentian sighed lightly, "Dead."

Lin Moyu had already guessed this answer, now confirmed.

Lord Wentian continued, "What this old man wants you to do is indeed dangerous, but with your strength and intelligence, as long as you're careful, it's not so easy to die."

Lin Moyu thought to himself, "You probably said these words to that person before too."

Of course, he didn't dare say this out loud.

Lin Moyu asked, "What exactly does senior want junior to do?"

Lord Wentian shook his head lightly, "This old man's matter is simple, no rush to say. Didn't you have questions? Ask."

Lin Moyu said, "Where do Great Dao crystals come from, and how can one obtain large quantities?"

Lord Wentian laughed, "You're very greedy. Although Great Dao crystals aren't the rarest things, they can't be obtained casually either."

"You killed so many battle beasts before. Did you think you could get enough Great Dao crystals just by killing battle beasts?"

Lin Moyu nodded slightly. He indeed thought so.

Lord Wentian smiled, "This old man set rules. When you kill a thousand battle beasts, powerful battle beasts will come find you, and not just one. It could be ten or a hundred, and they'll be either eighth-level or ninth-level Dao Venerable."

Lin Moyu was shocked. There was actually such a setting.

Lord Wentian added, "Moreover, Great Dao crystals in battle beasts are very limited. You can't obtain them without limit. If you want to get large quantities of Great Dao crystals, you'll have to complete the tasks I give you."

"As for where Great Dao crystals come from, naturally they come from the Dao. Great Dao crystals were originally called Great Dao shards, products of the Dao shattering."

"When the Dao shatters, the fragments are large and small. Those extremely tiny fragment powders became Great Dao crystals."

So that's where Great Dao crystals came from. Lin Moyu learned this for the first time.

His mind moved, and Lin Moyu took out a box containing a fragment.

Lin Moyu asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Lord Wentian glanced at it, "This is a Dao fragment. I didn't expect you to obtain a Dao fragment. Good luck."

It was indeed a Dao fragment, not a fragment of some treasure from the Great Dao realm, but a fragment of the Dao itself.

The Dao could actually shatter. This was unprecedented.

Lin Moyu asked, "Is it useful?"

Lord Wentian said, "Dao fragments remain condensed without dispersing. They didn't shatter thoroughly enough, so they don't have the effect of Great Dao crystals. For now, they're of no use to you. As for the future, hard to say."

He spoke vaguely without explaining in detail. Lin Moyu knew when to advance and retreat, not pursuing the question.

Lin Moyu put away the Dao fragment. Whether useful or not, it was a good thing to keep.

Lin Moyu continued asking, "Senior, do you know about Ancestral Water Essence?"

Lord Wentian suddenly raised his head, his eyes emitting a strange light, his tone becoming urgent, "You have Ancestral Water Essence?"

Lin Moyu realized that Ancestral Water Essence was useful to Lord Wentian, truly a good thing. Otherwise, Lord Wentian wouldn't have this reaction.

At the same time, he somewhat regretted it. Obviously Lord Wentian very much wanted Ancestral Water Essence. He shouldn't have asked.

But since he had already asked, Lin Moyu didn't deny it, "By chance, a senior gave me a drop of Ancestral Water Essence."

Light flashed in Lord Wentian's eyes for several seconds before dissipating.

He sighed deeply, "That's also your good fortune. Since that person gave you Ancestral Water Essence, keep it well. Ancestral Water Essence has great uses. Don't use it before reaching Great Dao realm."

Lin Moyu asked, "I heard people say Ancestral Water Essence can increase the probability of becoming Heavenly Dao realm."

Lord Wentian laughed, "It indeed has that effect, but using it like that would be too wasteful. The true use of Ancestral Water Essence is to enhance fusion with the Dao, increasing the probability of becoming a Dao Lord."

Becoming Great Dao realm and becoming a Dao Lord were two completely different levels.

Which was more important, Lin Moyu naturally knew.

Moreover, he also knew that Lord Wentian had initially shown great interest in Ancestral Water Essence, then quickly backed off.

The Three Ancestors also knew he had Ancestral Water Essence but didn't try to obtain it from him.

They all had the ability, and Ancestral Water Essence was precious enough, but in the end they all chose to give up.

This indicated that Ancestral Water Essence carried extremely great karmic ties.

They couldn't bear this karma.

When Lord Wentian mentioned "that person", his tone carried respect. The being who gave him Ancestral Water Essence must be extremely powerful, at least more powerful than Lord Wentian.

Lin Moyu secretly warned himself to be careful when speaking in the future.

Some questions needed to be considered thrice before asking. They couldn't be casually asked, otherwise trouble could come from one's mouth.

Lord Wentian smiled, "Becoming a Dao Lord is a very distant matter, but not impossible for you. This old man also hopes you can become a Dao Lord. At that time, you might be able to pull this old man up."

He seemed to be joking, but also seemed very serious.

Lin Moyu said, "Junior has no more questions. Whatever task senior has, please instruct."

Lord Wentian nodded, "Very well, let's go then."

As he spoke, he waved his hand. The stone chamber disappeared before Lin Moyu's eyes. Lin Moyu felt he had stepped onto a magical path.

The surroundings first turned pitch black, then lit up with countless points of light.

Numerous light points streaked past like meteors. Lin Moyu felt he had left the Origin Continent, heading to an incredibly distant place.

At this time, his speed surpassed the speed of light, surpassing the limits of time and space. It was like teleportation, but not quite teleportation. It was hard to describe the current feeling.

Lord Wentian chuckled, "Don't be surprised. We're currently crossing realms."

Crossing realms!

Lin Moyu was shocked. Crossing realms meant leaving the Origin Continent and going to another world?

Lord Wentian continued, "It's just temporary departure, and not complete departure. Your true spirit imprint is still on the Origin Continent. When you want to return, you can naturally come back."
