Chapter 2932: If You're a Businessman, You Can Negotiate
Lin Moyu's expression was somewhat serious. Given the recovery ability of a divine pet, if it wasn't dead, it would have already recovered. Whether it's hiding in that Origin Secret Realm or trapped there is uncertain. If it's just hiding, Lin Moyu felt that going there would be like delivering himself on a platter. But then he thought something was off; the Three Ancestors mentioned that the Origin Secret Realm already had an extraterrestrial god. Unless the extraterrestrial god mentioned by the Three Ancestors was that divine pet. Either way, going there would be a death sentence.
The Three Ancestors said in a low voice, "We can't be sure it's that. Illusory insects aren't exclusive to extraterrestrial gods. They could also be from the Origin Continent."
Lin Moyu suddenly realized something he had overlooked, "I didn't feel any aversion when I saw that insect earlier."
The Three Ancestors said, "That's the second point I wanted to make. It's special because it doesn't trigger the Great Dao's aversion. To be precise, the insects it splits into don't trigger aversion, but its mother body still would."
"So, you can't rely on that to distinguish them."
Lin Moyu sighed, "You're still suggesting I go, aren't you?"
The Three Ancestors said softly, "While I hope you do, I'm not forcing you this time. It's your decision."
Lin Moyu was also contemplating this issue. If there really was an extraterrestrial god in that Origin Secret Realm, it was indeed very tempting for him. Killing an extraterrestrial god and obtaining the Great Dao reward could save him a lot of time on his cultivation path.
Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "How about this, show me the information on that Origin Secret Realm, and I'll decide whether to go."
The Three Ancestors said, "I was going to give it to you anyway. Is the place Old Black asked you to go dangerous?"
Lin Moyu chuckled, "How could it not be dangerous? I was on the brink of life and death in there. For specifics, you should ask the King of the Boundary Sea; it's inconvenient for me to say."
The Three Ancestors nodded and didn't press further. With a wave of his hand, the space around Lin Moyu twisted, and in an instant, he was back in his original place.
The 160 Dao Sovereigns sat neatly, unmoving.
The Three Ancestors' voice rang out, "Xiao Lian, give him the information on the Ice and Fire Secret Realm."
Lu Lian handed a jade token to Lin Moyu without hesitation, "All the information on the Ice and Fire Secret Realm is in here."
Lin Moyu examined the jade token's contents.
The information on the secret realm was collected by the 160 Dao Sovereign Sixth Realm experts, each providing their insights. There were many commonalities, but also many differing opinions.
The Ice and Fire Secret Realm is composed of ice and fire forces. The sky is perennially shrouded in ice, with extremely low temperatures, often experiencing freezing rain or snow. Meanwhile, the ground is a world of fire, with lava, volcanoes, and flames covering almost all the land.
Where ice and fire meet, a lot of mist forms. In this mist, the Great Dao powers of ice and fire intertwine, making it difficult for Dao Sovereigns to see far. Once inside, they are almost in a semi-lost state, so their observations are limited.
The environment is just one peculiarity of the Ice and Fire Secret Realm. Another is its time limit. Once inside, everyone can only stay for a hundred days before being transported out, and they can't enter again. This is why the Three Ancestors sent 160 Dao Sovereigns one after another; otherwise, sending the same people repeatedly would have been the best choice.
The Three Ancestors sent people into the secret realm to obtain something called the Ice and Fire Dao Stone. The Three Ancestors didn't say where the Ice and Fire Dao Stone came from. Lin Moyu guessed it was related to a powerful Great Dao realm expert. The entire Ice and Fire Secret Realm was likely related to this.
Another point is that there is indeed an extraterrestrial god in the Ice and Fire Secret Realm, one that is sealed inside. This extraterrestrial god isn't dead, just sealed.
Seeing this, Lin Moyu had a rough idea of the situation. A Great Dao realm expert and an extraterrestrial god fought, and the Great Dao realm expert used their life to form a seal, trapping the extraterrestrial god.
This situation is similar to the Thunder Secret Realm and the previous Whale Elder.
All these facts told Lin Moyu that the great war back then was indeed brutal. Many Great Dao realm experts sacrificed their lives.
There doesn't seem to be any danger in the Ice and Fire Secret Realm; the Dao Sovereigns who entered all returned safely.
It seems safe, but hidden dangers remain. Perhaps that special divine pet is hiding in the secret realm, which is what Lin Moyu fears most.
After reviewing the information collected by the 160 Dao Sovereigns, Lin Moyu found it not very useful. These Dao Sovereigns weren't particularly skilled at exploring the secret realm, and a hundred days yielded little.
For Lin Moyu, the information wasn't very helpful.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Moyu said, "Three Ancestors, I still want to discuss something with you."
The Three Ancestors understood Lin Moyu's intention and transported him back to his space.
Lin Moyu said, "I have a few requests. If you agree, I'll go."
The Three Ancestors didn't immediately agree or refuse but said, "Let's hear them."
Lin Moyu said, "First, I want to go in a hundred years because my Dao patterns will be fully condensed by then. I can advance to the Dao Sovereign Second Realm, giving me a better chance."
The Three Ancestors said, "Okay, I can wait a hundred years."
The 160 Dao Sovereigns won't have any issues within a thousand years, so a hundred years won't make much difference.
"My second request is for a Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm corpse. It doesn't matter what race."
The Three Ancestors' voice became noticeably lower, "Do you know how valuable a Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm corpse is?"
Lin Moyu said, "I don't know, but I believe it's not more valuable than the Ice and Fire Dao Stone."
The Three Ancestors repeatedly sent people to the secret realm for the Ice and Fire Dao Stone, indicating its high value.
If Lin Moyu were to say, the true name of the Ice and Fire Dao Stone might not be what it seems. Perhaps it could be related to the Fire Dao Stone.
A businessman like the Three Ancestors, even if they provided all the information, might still have some tricks up their sleeve.
Having dealt with the Three Ancestors multiple times, Lin Moyu believed he was capable of such things.
Precisely because the Three Ancestors is a businessman, some things can be negotiated. For a businessman, nothing is off the table.
He wanted the Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm corpse as insurance.
Corpse Explosion hadn't been used in a long time due to a lack of good materials. A Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm corpse would be a powerful trump card.
Finally, the Three Ancestors spoke again, "Alright, I agree, but I have a request too."
"Please, Three Ancestors!" Lin Moyu knew the Three Ancestors would bargain, so he wasn't surprised.
The Three Ancestors said, "If you don't gain anything inside, you must return the corpse to me."
Lin Moyu smiled, "No problem!"
