 Chapter 2115: You Claim Second, No One Dares Claim First

The Heart and Soul Stone was once a powerful magical item of the Soul Spirit race. After conquering the Soul Spirit race, the human race obtained a few of them.

Over the years, some were consumed, leaving only a few remaining.

The Heart and Soul Stone can be used to control souls, but it also has limitations.

It needs to be used when the mind is just about to awaken, and cannot be used on soul bodies with mature intelligence.

The Soul Spirit race once used the Heart and Soul Stone to control those giant space beasts that were about to awaken intelligence.

It could also control some anomalies like the Red Star Supreme Being that awakened intelligence later, as long as it was used before they awakened.

Beings controlled by the Heart and Soul Stone are called Heart and Soul Beings.

The former Soul Spirit race once had a vast army of Heart and Soul Beings under their command.

Using the Heart and Soul Stone to control the Ximu Ancestral Tree is indeed the best choice now.

After discussion, the Saint Lords decided to let the Killer Saint Lord carry out the control.

Among the Saint Lords, except for the Fu Saint Lord, the Killer Saint Lord has the weakest combat power.

But the Killer Saint Lord excels at stealth and assassination, and can often play unexpected roles.

If he could have the assistance of a Heart and Soul Being, it might further enhance the Killer Saint Lord's combat power.

Moreover, according to Lin Moyu, the life form inside the Ximu Ancestral Tree could reach the Transcendent Realm upon birth. If nurtured well for a period of time, it might possess Saint Lord level combat power.

The Fu Saint Lord stared intently at Lin Moyu, his meaning couldn't be clearer.

He wanted to learn the Containment Formation, and wanted Lin Moyu to teach him.

Lin Moyu naturally wouldn't keep it secret, but dismantling runes was not easy to learn. It required extremely high talent and a very keen soul. Lin Moyu didn't know if the Fu Saint Lord could learn it.

But before he could speak, the Fu Saint Lord suddenly bowed to Lin Moyu, "Master Lin, I humbly request you to teach me the formation!"

Lin Moyu was stunned. It was one thing for others to call him Master Lin, but for even the Fu Saint Lord to call him that.

You're a Saint Lord after all, and currently the number one in the human race's rune techniques. Is it appropriate to call me Master Lin? This way, wouldn't my status be higher than a Saint Lord? Then how should the Hao Saint Lord and Heavenly Saint Lord be addressed?

Lin Moyu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Beside them, the Hao Saint Lord and Heavenly Saint Lord suddenly burst out laughing. They weren't surprised at all by the Fu Saint Lord's actions.

Having known each other for many years, they knew the Fu Saint Lord too well.

The usually quiet and reserved Fu Saint Lord would turn into a complete fanatic, even somewhat crazy, when it came to runes.

Concepts like seniority meant nothing to him in this context.

This was the Fu Saint Lord's personality, and also his Way.

The Hao Saint Lord said, "Young friend Lin, don't mind the Fu Saint Lord's words. If you're willing to teach, then teach him a bit. If not, just ignore him."

The Heavenly Saint Lord also laughed and said, "Old Hao is right. You don't have to teach if you don't want to. It's fine to tease him a bit."

The two of them were joking about the Fu Saint Lord. They could joke, but Lin Moyu couldn't.

After all, when he first came into contact with runes, the Fu Saint Lord had given him a lot of help. That book "Rune Language" was also given by the Fu Saint Lord.

Lin Moyu said, "Fu Saint Lord, I've actually already organized the method for drawing the Containment Formation. It was originally meant for you."

"However..." 

The Fu Saint Lord's eyes revealed extreme joy, "However what?"

Lin Moyu said, "However, it involves the method of dismantling runes, which may be a bit difficult to cultivate. You can try it first, and if there's anything you don't understand, you can come ask me."

Lin Moyu spoke euphemistically, but everyone could understand. It was clearly not easy to learn.

As he spoke, Lin Moyu handed over a jade tablet. The jade tablet already had the method for dismantling runes recorded, as well as the method for drawing the Containment Formation.

Actually, the Containment Formation itself wasn't difficult. The difficult part was dismantling runes.

If one couldn't do that, they wouldn't be able to complete the Containment Formation.

The Fu Saint Lord took the jade tablet, scanned it with his soul, and his aura surged wildly. The extreme joy in his eyes increased even more.

He immediately said, "Thank you, Master Lin. I'll go study the formation now."

After saying this, the Fu Saint Lord rushed impatiently towards his cultivation room.

In his view, nothing was more important than the Containment Formation.

The Hao Saint Lord said, "Only by being so obsessed with the Way of Runes could he achieve the Way through runes and become a Saint Lord."

The Heavenly Saint Lord said, "Indeed, how could one achieve the Way without wholeheartedly devoting oneself?"

Lin Moyu didn't speak. He understood very clearly that achieving the Way through runes was indeed very difficult. If one only wanted to achieve the Saint Lord's Way, as long as their talent was decent and they worked hard enough, the probability of becoming a Saint Lord wasn't low.

But if one wanted to become a Supreme Being, besides hard work, they also needed to look at talent and opportunities. None of these could be lacking.

As for becoming a Heavenly Lord, without supreme talent, it wasn't even worth thinking about.

Lin Moyu knew that even if the God's Path hadn't been cut off, the Fu Saint Lord's upper limit would only be a Supreme Being, and the weakest kind of Supreme Being at that.

Not just the Fu Saint Lord, but all the Saint Lords in the human race were like this.

Their rule worlds weren't strong enough, barely reaching an ordinary level. They couldn't be considered perfect and had no chance of becoming Heavenly Lords.

The Heavenly Saint Lord smiled and said, "This guy, he's really impatient."

The Hao Saint Lord was clearly in a good mood too, "Young friend Lin, do you plan to go out again after coming back this time?"

Lin Moyu shook his head, "I plan to seclude myself for a period of time to study runes and solidify my foundation."

The Hao Saint Lord nodded, "In that case, I'll take you to a place where you can cultivate freely without worrying."

Lin Moyu also knew that his previous cultivation had damaged the cultivation rooms in the Divine City.

This time he was going to study runes, which would inevitably involve experiments. He didn't know how much commotion it would cause, so the Divine City indeed wasn't very suitable.

Little Mist cleverly got down from Lin Moyu's body. Lin Moyu was going to cultivate, and there was no use for Little Mist to follow.

Before leaving, Lin Moyu specially looked in the direction where Old Yan was.

There, formations were rising, and one could vaguely see the Lizard God War Palace. Clearly, Old Yan was still researching.

Anyway, the Lizard God War Palace wasn't of much use for now, so let him research slowly.

After leaving the Divine City, the Hao Saint Lord quickly accelerated. As a Saint Lord, his speed was already at the extreme. Even without using spatial laws, his speed was no slower than Lin Moyu's.

Around him, all laws were distorted, leaving only the power of rules.

Relying on the powerful rule power, the Hao Saint Lord forcibly tore through space, achieving an effect similar to spatial law teleportation.

Seeing this, Lin Moyu immediately used time laws, increasing his speed to 100 million kilometers per second.

But even so, he still couldn't keep up with the Hao Saint Lord.

He then fused the two laws of time and space, forming space-time power, and accelerated again.

His speed reached 200 million kilometers per second, barely keeping up with the Hao Saint Lord.

Lin Moyu knew this was already his fastest speed in normal conditions. If he wanted to go faster, he would either have to use the Three Light Rune or the Wings of Death.

The Hao Saint Lord smiled and said, "Space-time power, it's really not bad."

He was somewhat envious, but more so proud.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "You flatter me, Senior. I've only just touched the surface."

The Hao Saint Lord said, "This old man tried to comprehend it before. Forget about time laws, I couldn't even touch the surface of spatial laws."

"You've not only comprehended both laws but also fused them, so you don't need to be too modest. It's really not bad."

"In the current world, if your talent is ranked second, who would dare claim first?"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "My sister!"

The Hao Saint Lord was speechless, then burst into laughter, "Right, right, right, you're correct."

Lin Moyu asked, "Where are we going?"

He felt the direction was a bit off, as if they were flying towards the very center of the Divine City Star Region.

The Divine City's location was already the core, but it wasn't the very center.

The Divine City Star Region was very large, and the true center was still some distance from the Divine City.

The Hao Saint Lord acted mysterious, "You'll know when we get there."
