 Chapter 3172: The Seventy-two Swords Are Too Weak

To become the new master of the Seventy-two Swords, the first thing was to gain the recognition of the Seventy-two Swords.

It could be any one sword, first gaining recognition and planting a sword seed.

For example, Lin Moyu now had the Jade Dao Sword's seed in his body.

The sword seed could continuously temper the dao heart, making it stronger and stronger.

After the dao heart was strong enough, one could then seek other swords and gain new sword seeds.

When all seventy-two sword seeds were obtained, through some special methods, one could refine the Seventy-two Swords and become their new master.

Forget about gaining recognition from all seventy-two swords. Even gaining recognition from one was already very difficult.

Even ninth-level Dao Venerables might not be able to do it.

Lin Moyu being able to gain recognition from one was already good. This time he happened to see the Fox Tail Sword and casually came to take a look. Lin Moyu actually didn't have any strong desires in his heart.

His path was different. He had no longing for the Seventy-two Swords.

But hearing the Fox Tail Sword spirit say he was inferior to another person, Lin Moyu became curious.

"Can Senior Sword Spirit tell me who that person is?" Lin Moyu asked curiously.

The Fox Tail Sword spirit said, "That person truly possesses a sword heart. Her dao is the sword dao. Your dao heart is very strong, but your dao is not the sword dao."

People who take the sword as their dao are rare.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment, then suddenly knew who the Fox Tail Sword spirit was talking about.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly, revealing a smile. "If I'm not mistaken, the person Senior Sword Spirit is referring to should be a woman."

The Fox Tail Sword spirit nodded, "That's right, it's a woman."

Lin Moyu continued, "Her appearance should be somewhat similar to mine."

The Fox Tail Sword spirit looked at Lin Moyu, thinking for a moment. "That's right, indeed somewhat similar."

Lin Moyu was now completely certain of the other's identity. "Then there's no mistake. She is my elder sister."

The Fox Tail Sword spirit said softly, "Her name is Lin Mohan, your name is Lin Moyu. So you're siblings."

"This makes sense. Both of your dao hearts are extremely steadfast, and your talents are equally outstanding."

Lin Moyu said, "It's been a long time since I've seen my elder sister. I wonder how many swords' recognition she has gained, and what her cultivation is now?"

Counting, it had been many years since he had seen Lin Mohan. Since parting in the great world, Lin Mohan had gone her own way.

After coming to the great world, there had been no news of Lin Mohan.

Lin Moyu had once searched in the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce, but couldn't find her.

Lin Mohan seemed to have disappeared. Fortunately, there was still the blood resonance. Lin Moyu could feel that Lin Mohan was still alive.

Also because of the blood resonance, Lin Moyu knew his elder sister's realm was probably a bit higher than his own.

After all, besides her own cultivation opportunities, Lin Mohan also had his help through their bloodline.

As for how much higher, that was unknown.

The Fox Tail Sword spirit said, "According to the rules set by our old master, some things can't be said. I can't reveal other people's information to you, even if she's your sister."

"But in my view, she's more suitable to become our new master than you."

Lin Mohan walked the path of the sword dao, and was indeed more suitable to become the new master of the Seventy-two Swords than himself.

Lin Moyu had no objections to this.

If the spirit wouldn't say, then so be it. It wasn't like he had to know.

As long as Lin Mohan was alright, that was enough.

Lin Moyu said to the Fox Tail Sword spirit, "I'd like to trouble Senior Sword Spirit to pass on a message for me. Is that alright?"

The Fox Tail Sword spirit nodded, "Go ahead."

Lin Moyu said, "When my elder sister comes again, tell her I've built a Yu Dao City in the Eastern Continent. If she has time, she can come find me."

The Fox Tail Sword spirit said, "Alright. When she appears again, this message will be passed on word for word."

The seventy-two swords, seventy-two sword spirits, could communicate with each other.

As long as Lin Mohan appeared again, his message would be passed on.

Lin Moyu bowed to the Fox Tail Sword spirit, "Many thanks, Senior Sword Spirit. I'll take my leave now."

The Fox Tail Sword spirit seemed to confirm again, "Are you sure you're giving up inheriting the Seventy-two Swords?"

"Senior also said I have my own dao." Lin Moyu turned and left decisively, without any hesitation.

Although the Seventy-two Swords were powerful, in Lin Moyu's eyes, they were nothing special.

The Divine Region Cauldron that could perfectly suppress the nine regions' earth veins was now in his hands. This substitute wasn't worth having.

Wisps of sword qi dispersed from Lin Moyu's body. As he turned, the Jade Dao sword seed in his body dissipated with it.

Since he wasn't walking this path, there was no need for the Jade Dao sword seed to exist.

Moreover, even without the Jade Dao Sword, his dao heart was still incredibly solid.

The Fox Tail Sword spirit was slightly stunned, "You even dispersed the Jade Dao sword seed?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "Since I'm not walking this path, what use is the sword seed to me? The Seventy-two Swords are strong, but for me, they're still too weak."

"My dao heart, forget about the Seventy-two Swords, even if your old master came in person, it couldn't be shaken."

"If you don't believe me, Senior Sword Spirit, you can try."

Dispersing the Jade Dao sword seed, Lin Moyu didn't regret it at all. His dao heart didn't rely on external things. He sought enlightenment himself.

The Fox Tail Sword spirit's gaze was slightly doubtful. Lin Moyu's words made it somewhat uncomfortable.

In its heart, the old master's status was supreme.

For a mere third-level Dao Venerable little fellow to say such arrogant words.

But back then, the Jade Dao Sword had tested Lin Moyu's dao heart and suffered some losses.

The Fox Tail Sword spirit still hesitated, wondering whether to try or not.

Watching Lin Moyu walk further and further away, in the end, the Fox Tail Sword spirit still didn't act.

Even after dispersing the Jade Dao sword seed, Lin Moyu still wasn't attacked by sword qi. He just flew out bit by bit like this.

He left the Fox Tail Sword, reappearing in the Celestial Fox clan members' sight, then slowly went away.

When passing by Su Ze, Lin Moyu said softly, "You temper your dao heart well. I'm going back first. Come find me when you have time."

Su Ze was currently using most of his mind to fight against illusions, unable to attend to other matters. He could only nod slightly in response to Lin Moyu's words.

Lin Moyu didn't return to his mountain peak, but entered Nine Tails City.

Rarely having free time, he should also relax himself. Alternating between tension and relaxation was the correct path of cultivation.

Sometimes, relaxation was also a kind of cultivation for the dao heart.

Nine Tails City was extremely lively. As the world's number one city, Nine Tails City had an extremely special status.

Even the great cities of human holy lands couldn't compare.

In Nine Tails City, besides insect races, one could see almost every race on the Origin Continent.

Occasionally, even cultivators from sea races would come to purchase some items.

The Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce also had a large branch here.

For several days in a row, Lin Moyu wandered leisurely in Nine Tails City, also buying many specialties to bring back to Yu Dao City in the future.

Lin Moyu didn't lack money. He spent generously, buying in large quantities at once.

On the seventh day of his arrival in Nine Tails City, Clan Leader Su Mou came to find him.

He brought two sets of materials for Lin Moyu. One was information about the Celestial Fox clan's ancestral land, explaining some situations in the ancestral land.

The second set of materials was related to hell fragments.

Over these few days, Su Mou had ordered people to carefully search for all information related to hell fragments, organizing many clues. Whether true or false, useful or not, he brought it all to Lin Moyu.
