2847

 **Chapter 2847: Hasn't the Cold Nine Star Lord Already Fallen?**

To prove his words, Lin Moyu took out the token given by Ancestor Gu Cang.

Seeing it, Gu Luochuan's expression immediately became serious, "It really is Ancestor Gu Cang's token. For you to have obtained it, you must be extraordinary."

Because of the token, Gu Luochuan's address for Lin Moyu changed to "little friend," and his demeanor shifted to one of equal standing.

Lin Moyu asked, "May I ask if among the survivors, there is someone named Lu Shudao?"

Of the more than a hundred who entered, only thirty or so remain, and the rest have undoubtedly perished.

With so many fallen, Lin Moyu wasn't sure if Lu Shudao was still alive.

Gu Luochuan immediately replied, "Lu Daoyou is still alive. Although he was injured initially, his life is not in danger, but his cultivation has suffered some damage."

Lin Moyu asked curiously, "Is his foundation damaged?"

Gu Luochuan nodded, "Indeed, his foundation is damaged. Is Lin Xiaoyou here to find Lu Daoyou?"

Lin Moyu didn't hide it, "That's one of the purposes. I was entrusted by the Third Ancestor to bring Senior Lu back."

He spoke frankly, not expecting to gain everyone's favor.

He was there for Lu Shudao, and others were secondary.

Mentioning the Third Ancestor's name, Gu Luochuan was even more surprised, "I didn't expect even the Third Ancestor would entrust you."

Lin Moyu said, "Please, Senior Gu, lead the way. I wish to see Senior Lu."

Gu Luochuan quickly gestured, "Please, Lin Xiaoyou."

Gu Luochuan led Lin Moyu to the houses, and as they approached, Gu Luochuan took out a jade token.

The jade token glowed, illuminating the void, and the scenery before them changed.

Like a curtain being pulled back, the true scene was revealed.

There were more houses than initially seen, numbering seven or eight thousand.

Each house looked the same, and they were built from origin crystals.

Lin Moyu sensed the power of formations from the houses; each house contained a formation.

Lin Moyu glanced and shook his head slightly, "It's not a formation; it's a formation eye."

"Constructing houses with origin crystals, built on formation nodes, allows cultivators within to control the formation, greatly enhancing its power."

"This formation must have reached the eighth level."

Gu Luochuan showed surprise in his eyes, "I didn't expect Lin Xiaoyou to be so proficient in formations."

Lin Moyu humbly said, "I only have some knowledge, not proficiency."

Gu Luochuan didn't believe Lin Moyu's modesty; being able to see through the formation's mysteries at a glance couldn't be mere dabbling.

The formation they set up back then required considerable effort, led by an eighth-level formation master and completed by dozens of people working together.

The formation indeed reached the eighth level, and Lin Moyu saw through it at a glance.

As they entered the formation, dozens of seniors with varied appearances and deep auras were already waiting there.

Their eyes showed curiosity; Lin Moyu was the first person in thousands of years to come here.

Seeing Lin Moyu, they were all surprised.

"Why is it a young Heavenly Sovereign?"

"The young one is indeed youthful, not even three thousand years old, yet already a high-level Heavenly Sovereign. It seems he might achieve Dao Sovereign before five thousand."

"Not even three thousand? He's only in his two thousands. I think he'll achieve Dao Sovereign before three thousand."

"Such a Heavenly Pride is rare in a million years, but why is he here?"

"Didn't the Cold Nine Star Lord say the inside and outside were isolated? How did he get in?"

"Why wonder so much? Just ask."

Gu Luochuan brought Lin Moyu over, and before they could ask, he introduced, "This is Lin Xiaoyou."

His address of Lin as "little friend" surprised everyone.

On the Origin Continent, titles aren't casually used.

Calling him "little friend" meant Gu Luochuan saw Lin Moyu as an equal.

It also told others that Lin Moyu was qualified to be their peer.

Lin Moyu saluted them, "Junior Lin Moyu greets the seniors."

Because of Gu Luochuan's address, everyone was polite, "How did Lin Xiaoyou get here?"

Lin Moyu said, "The Falling Star Lord and the Two Wind Star Lord sent me."

As he spoke, his eyes scanned the crowd and landed on someone.

This person bore some resemblance to Lu Fengyao and the Third Ancestor.

He was clearly injured, his aura unstable, likely Lu Shudao.

Lin Moyu immediately addressed him, "May I ask, are you Lu Shudao, Senior Lu?"

Lu Shudao nodded, "Yes, that's me."

Lin Moyu said, "I was entrusted by the Third Ancestor and Sister Fengyao to come here and bring you back."

Lu Shudao was shocked, "You've met the Third Ancestor and Fengyao? How are they?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "The Third Ancestor is as always, and Miss Fengyao recently achieved Dao Sovereign, ranking tenth in the Heavenly Pride Conference."

Hearing that Lu Fengyao became a Dao Sovereign, Lu Shudao showed a relieved and gratified expression, "As long as Fengyao is safe."

As a father, as long as Lu Fengyao was safe, he was at ease.

Lin Moyu looked at Lu Shudao, whose injuries seemed more severe than described by Gu Luochuan, not as lightly as portrayed.

His foundation was damaged, his realm unstable, threatening to fall at any moment.

Such injuries were life-threatening for a cultivator.

Lin Moyu asked solemnly, "Senior Lu seems to be severely injured."

Lu Shudao waved it off, "My life is not in danger."

At this moment, someone nearby said, "Lu Daoyou had a chance to heal, but he gave his only Longevity Pill to the Cold Nine Star Lord, leaving himself with difficult-to-heal injuries."

Lu Shudao quickly said, "Don't say that. Giving the Longevity Pill to the Cold Nine Star Lord was much more useful than taking it myself."

"If not for the Star Lord's protection, we might have died long ago."

Lin Moyu asked curiously, "Hasn't the Cold Nine Star Lord already fallen?"

Lu Shudao replied, "Indeed, he has fallen, but the Longevity Pill allowed him a semblance of life after death."

He explained, and Lin Moyu finally understood.

Though the Cold Nine Star Lord was dead, his body remained, encased in ice.

With only a remnant soul, the Cold Nine Star Lord struggled to hold off the divine pet; otherwise, they wouldn't have been breached back then.

Later, Lu Shudao gave his only Longevity Pill to the Cold Nine Star Lord, and under its influence, his body and soul partially recovered.

Though not resurrected, he could maintain peak combat power for a long time.

This time was enough for them to destroy the secret vault, taking the divine pet with them.

The three Star Lords concentrated their power to create the secret vault, trapping the divine pet.

The Cold Nine Star Lord continued to pursue the divine pet, unable to kill it but preventing its recovery.

Apart from the old injuries from the great battle long ago, they couldn't harm the divine pet, only suppress it and trigger old wounds.

They, along with the Cold Nine Star Lord, seized opportunities to try to suppress the divine pet.

Unfortunately, they never succeeded, and those who entered before died one by one.

Lu Shudao was injured by the divine pet in one of these battles, damaging his foundation.

At this point, Lin Moyu took out a jade bottle and handed it to Lu Shudao, "Senior Lu, this is for you."
