 Chapter 3281: Each to Their Own, Don't Worry About It Too Much

Lin Moyu didn't understand body dissolution and reincarnation. He hadn't expected the true spirit would enter the river of time.

Once entering the river of time, it was hard to say how much time would pass.

As the true spirit flowed along the river of time, countless years may have passed on the Origin Continent in the blink of an eye.

In that sense, 210,000 years wasn't considered very long.

Little Mei pondered, "In my memories, there are some fragments about the river of time."

"It seems there was some problem with the river of time, but I'm not clear on the specifics."

Little Mei tilted her head, furrowing her brows tightly as she searched her memories, but couldn't find anything.

Lin Moyu poured her a cup of tea, "Don't think about it anymore. Some things aren't important. The previous life has passed. The most important thing is this life."

Little Mei drank the tea, trying hard not to think about it.

The vast memories brought by body dissolution and reincarnation weren't so easy to fully absorb. It needed time.

Lin Moyu chatted with Little Mei, talking about everything under the sun.

At this moment, Little Mei had become a knowledgeable and erudite cultivator.

Gradually, Little Mei's manner of speaking changed.

When she first awoke, Little Mei's speech was mature. But after chatting for a while, Little Mei gradually returned to her previous state, becoming innocent again, her eyes clear.

Little Mei held firm to her dao heart, treating all the memories as a dream, not letting the memories of her previous life dominate.

In this life, Little Mei was still Little Mei, just with much more knowledge and rich cultivation experience.

Regardless, Little Mei still maintained her independent personality. She was no longer that Gu Hanmei from her previous life.

As they talked, the 75th dao pattern condensed and formed. The 76th dao pattern began condensing.

The speed slowed slightly, but was still very fast. It wouldn't take long to condense.

Lin Moyu estimated that with this boost in destiny, he could condense at least 5-6 dao patterns in a short time, and the speed of condensing dao patterns would become faster in the future.

After Little Mei recovered, Lin Moyu also relaxed a bit.

After these days together, Lin Moyu and Little Mei had already developed a strong master-disciple bond. Though Lin Moyu had selfish motives, he was sincere in taking her as a disciple and sincere towards Little Mei.

In fact, regardless of destiny, Lin Moyu also hoped Little Mei would still be her previous self.

Now that Little Mei was fine, he was relieved.

However, at the same time, he also had a bit of a headache.

Little Mei's name in her previous life was Gu Hanmei. Just from the name, it was clear she wasn't just from the Gu family, but very likely from the same branch as Gu Hanyu.

In terms of generations, Gu Hanmei should be of the same generation as Gu Hanyu's ancestors.

An ancestor of the Gu family had become his disciple, while he had a husband-wife relationship with Gu Hanyu.

This relationship seemed a bit messy.

But for cultivators, there was no need to worry about these things. Each to their own.

Little Mei would no longer become Gu Hanmei. Understanding this point, it didn't matter anymore.

After resting for a day, Lin Moyu set out again with Little Mei. Little Mei still sat on the Cloud-Piercing Sword cultivating.

Little Mei now had a set of techniques more suitable for herself - the Dao Cold Method, secretly passed down in the Cold Water Sacred Ground.

The Dao Cold Method was an extremely powerful technique. Cultivating the Dao Cold Method allowed one to contact the power of the Great Dao starting from the Transcendent realm. From the beginning of cultivation, one's combat power was extremely strong.

Moreover, the Dao Cold Method would continuously suppress one's realm, called "three suppressions, one rise".

Cultivating the Dao Cold Method, from Transcendent realm to True God realm, required at least three complete cycles of cultivation.

Each time one would cultivate to the peak of Transcendent realm, then suppress back to early Transcendent realm, then to the peak again and suppress back, repeating this three times.

Only on the fourth time cultivating to the peak of Transcendent realm could one truly break through and enter the True God realm.

After reaching the True God realm, one would again go through three suppressions and one rise.

So the Dao Cold Method was extremely slow to cultivate. Perhaps peers had already cultivated to the Dao Venerable realm while you were still lingering in the Venerable Lord realm, not even reaching Venerable yet.

However, once the Dao Cold Method was cultivated to the Dao Venerable realm, it was completely different.

The previous accumulation would all erupt in the Dao Venerable realm. The cultivation speed in the Dao Venerable realm would be over ten times faster than others.

Moreover, the previous accumulation would all transform into combat power. Being unmatched in the same realm wasn't a dream, and one could even fight across realms.

The Dao Cold Method was a very powerful technique, but it had extremely high requirements for aptitude. Not just anyone could cultivate it.

Gu Hanmei had cultivated the Dao Cold Method in her previous life. With her astonishing aptitude and the Gu family's vast resources, she reached the ninth level Dao Venerable realm in just 30,000 years.

Originally she was the person in the Gu family with the best chance of breaking through to the Great Dao realm. However, Gu Hanmei accidentally obtained a magical treasure related to the Destiny Great Dao.

Through that treasure, Gu Hanmei saw her own destiny.

She could break through to the Great Dao realm, but wouldn't succeed or fail. In the end she would only become a pseudo-Great Dao realm powerhouse, with no hope of reaching the Great Dao realm in her lifetime.

This result wasn't necessarily correct, but had a very high probability.

At that time, young and proud, she naturally wouldn't accept this result.

So Gu Hanmei resolutely chose to dissolve her body and reincarnate.

Actually, humans had very limited information about the Great Dao realm. Gu Hanmei only knew that successfully dissolving one's body and reincarnating could advance to the Great Dao realm. She didn't know why it could reach the Great Dao realm at all.

After Lin Moyu explained to her, she finally understood what an innate soul meant.

She now had the best foundation for advancing to the Great Dao realm. As long as she cultivated well, the Great Dao realm was within reach.

A month later, Lin Moyu left dragon race territory. A large expanse of darkness appeared in view.

The darkness was separated from dragon territory by only a thin line. On one side the Yang Origin illuminated the earth, while on the other side it was dark and gloomy. Endless black qi rose from the earth, completely blocking the light of the Yang Origin.

This was the territory of the Netherworld race. The Netherworld race's territory was far smaller than the dragon race's, not even 1% of the dragon race's size.

They didn't look very powerful, but to exist for so many years in the gap between the dragon race and the Hundred Herbs Alliance, there must be a reason.

Lin Moyu naturally wouldn't underestimate the Netherworld race, but he had to go to the Netherworld race.

He quickly crossed the boundary and entered Netherworld race territory.

This land that had been sealed off for who knows how many years welcomed two new visitors today.

As soon as he stepped into Netherworld race territory, streams of black qi coiled around him.

This black qi was very familiar to him, identical to the black qi from the Netherworld Black Pool in his Skeleton Hell.

Lin Moyu's heart stirred. The Skeleton Hell automatically appeared, enveloping himself and Little Mei.

Little Mei was still cultivating at this time and couldn't be disturbed.

The black qi dissipated when it touched the Skeleton Hell.

Lin Moyu felt the Skeleton Hell was incredibly compatible with this place. The composition of power here seemed 70-80% similar to the Skeleton Hell.

Lin Moyu advanced through the black earth, simultaneously releasing many skeleton generals to go in all directions, mapping the area and transmitting information for him.

In his soul world, his soul was condensing the 81st dao pattern.

Previously affected by Little Mei's destiny, he had condensed five dao patterns in an extremely short time, which satisfied Lin Moyu greatly.

However, with each additional dao pattern condensed, the speed slowed considerably.

Then the speed of the 80th dao pattern slowed dramatically, taking a full 20+ days to condense successfully.

As for the 81st dao pattern, the speed was even slower, needing about three months.

The benefits brought by destiny had receded, beginning to trend towards stability.

The skeleton generals explored in all directions, quickly forming a map in Lin Moyu's mind.

Soon, an ear-shaped village was discovered.

"Found one!"

Lin Moyu revealed a slight smile, quickly walking towards the village.
