 Chapter 3175: The Difference Between Eight Minutes and Ten Seconds

Su Li's words were cut short, unable to continue.

The Flower of Destiny in Lin Moyu's hand had already bloomed brilliantly.

It was fast, incredibly fast.

Lin Moyu asked, "Is this sufficient?"

Su Li's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, mumbling, "How can it be so fast?"

An eighth-level Dao Venerable, at this moment, seemed to lose his composure.

Although Su Li was startled by Lin Moyu's speed, he quickly regained his senses, trying his best to remain calm. "Mr. Lin's luck is the strongest I've ever seen in my life. For others to make the Flower of Destiny bloom, it takes ten minutes at the fastest, and half an hour at the slowest."

"The highest record in our clan took a full eight minutes to make the Flower of Destiny bloom, but Mr. Lin..."

From the moment Lin Moyu received the Flower of Destiny until it bloomed, it took no more than ten seconds.

Eight minutes versus ten seconds - the difference was too vast.

Lin Moyu asked, "Is there any significance to this?"

The materials Lin Moyu received mentioned the Flower of Destiny but didn't explain whether the speed of blooming would have any impact.

The materials couldn't possibly detail every aspect, which was why Su Li was brought along as a guide.

In fact, being a guide was secondary; Su Li's true purpose was to explain various occurrences within the ancestral land to Lin Moyu.

Su Li explained, "In the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, everyone will face their own unique path. Generally speaking, the stronger one's luck, the faster the Flower of Destiny blooms, and the weaker the challenges faced after entering the valley."

"Our clan's ancestral land primarily tests luck. As long as one's luck is strong enough, other factors become secondary."

"If luck is insufficient, then the requirements for cultivation realm will increase."

Through Su Li's explanation, Lin Moyu understood the mechanism of the Celestial Fox clan's ancestral land trials.

Luck was the primary factor, with cultivation realm as a secondary consideration.

The ancestral land required Celestial Fox clan members to be at least seventh-level Dao Venerable to enter, but there was no such requirement for outsiders.

Although there was no realm requirement for outsiders, the trials inside hadn't changed.

Almost every trial had a cultivation realm requirement up to the Dao Venerable level.

There was only one exception - if one's luck was exceptionally good, the cultivation realm requirements would naturally decrease.

Once, an outsider had entered. At that time, he was a fifth-level Dao Venerable, but his luck was very good. The trials he faced were only at the fourth-level Dao Venerable standard.

That outsider passed through all the challenges and finally gained the recognition of the ancestral land's spirit, becoming an adopted member of the Celestial Fox clan.

This was one of the differences between the Celestial Fox clan and other beast clans - the Celestial Fox clan allowed the existence of adopted members.

Adopted members could enjoy considerable rights and benefits from the Celestial Fox clan, such as access to some of the clan's secret techniques and treasures.

To become an adopted member of the Celestial Fox clan, one of the requirements was to gain the recognition of the ancestral land's spirit.

But compared to Lin Moyu, that person was clearly far inferior.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "This rule is reasonable. One can't have it all; forcing it would lead to the opposite effect. Choosing one of the two maintains the balance of yin and yang. Your clan's ancestor understood this principle well."

Su Li smiled but didn't dare to respond. He wouldn't presume to comment on his clan's ancestor.

Lin Moyu said, "If that's the case, I'll go in first. See you after the valley."

Su Li nodded, "Be careful on your way, Mr. Lin."

Lin Moyu, holding the Flower of Destiny, entered the Ten Thousand Flower Valley.

The invisible barrier of the valley naturally dispersed, and Lin Moyu walked in without any obstruction.

At the moment of entering the valley, Lin Moyu still felt the power of the Celestial Fox clan's ancestor.

The barrier outside the valley was strong enough to block a ninth-level Dao Venerable.

If one didn't follow the rules, even a ninth-level Dao Venerable couldn't enter the valley.

This also indicated that the Celestial Fox clan's ancestor was a Great Dao realm expert. Only those at the Great Dao realm had such abilities.

The Ten Thousand Flower Valley lived up to its name, with countless flowers blooming inside.

After entering the valley, Lin Moyu looked back and saw no way to retreat.

At the moment of entry, he had entered an independent space, a space that belonged only to him.

Even if Su Li had entered with him, they would eventually be separated into different spaces.

The scenery inside the valley was picturesque, with flowers in full bloom and fragrant scents permeating the air.

The Flower of Destiny in his hand emitted a soft glow, its light intertwining in front of Lin Moyu, guiding the way forward.

After walking about a thousand meters, three different paths appeared ahead.

All three paths were covered in flowers, but each path had different types of flowers.

The left path was filled with bright red flowers. At first glance, they looked like blazing flames, burning fiercely. A second look made them seem like a churning sea of blood.

The middle path was mainly yellow flowers, appearing much softer in color and seemingly unremarkable.

The right path was filled with ink-black flowers, the entire road tinted black.

Red, yellow, and black - three paths of different colored flowers lay before Lin Moyu, requiring him to make a choice.

Just by looking at these three paths, Lin Moyu couldn't tell what lay ahead. Only by entering would he know.

The Flower of Destiny in his hand intertwined its light, pointing towards the right path.

This was the guidance given by the Flower of Destiny. It would indicate the easiest path to take. As long as one followed its guidance, there generally wouldn't be any problems.

Lin Moyu understood clearly that while the Flower of Destiny seemed to be nurtured by his luck, what truly made it bloom was his destiny.

The root of luck lies in destiny. Strong destiny leads to strong luck.

If destiny is average, luck becomes unstable, sometimes good, sometimes bad.

If destiny can remain consistently strong, then luck can also remain consistently good.

The Flower of Destiny absorbed luck, but what truly played a role was destiny.

The reason he could make the Flower of Destiny bloom so quickly was primarily because his destiny was strong enough.

The Flower of Destiny connected with the rules inside the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, providing different paths based on one's level of destiny.

These paths weren't just one, but could be divided into different difficulties.

The Flower of Destiny would point out the easiest path, but if one wanted a challenge, they could choose other paths.

Combining the information from the materials and his own deductions, Lin Moyu quickly arrived at an answer.

Given these rules, Lin Moyu naturally wouldn't make things difficult for himself and would choose the simplest path.

His goal was to reach the end of the ancestral land and see what problems had occurred, not to be tested by the ancestral land.

As he approached the rightmost path, about to enter, his spiritual sense suddenly felt uneasy.

The foot he had raised was instantly withdrawn.

Lin Moyu greatly trusted his spiritual sense. Whenever there was danger, his spiritual sense would surely react.

This time, although his spiritual sense didn't give a clear warning, the feeling of unease still surprised Lin Moyu.

"There's danger here..."

The unease in his spiritual sense must mean danger existed.

But because he hadn't entered yet and hadn't truly encountered the danger, his spiritual sense was only uneasy.

Lin Moyu realized that as his cultivation realm increased, his spiritual sense was becoming stronger.

"Why would there be danger on the safest path indicated by the Flower of Destiny? What kind of danger could it be?"

As his thoughts moved, the destiny talisman of the Soul King began to glow brightly!
