Chapter 1148 - 1148: Dao Methods Follow Nature, Nature Follows Dao

One day later, Lin Mu broke through the barrier and emerged.

"Greetings to Lord Lin!"

A group from Kujia Holy Land, led by their Holy Master Du Le, bowed in unison to Lin Wudi.

Lin Mu's gaze was indifferent, paying no attention to them.

What's a five tribulations overlord to him? He's killed them before.

Du Le, with a hint of sorrow, respectfully said: "I apologize for disturbing Lord Lin today, but I have a request."

Lin Mu's eyes showed a trace of amusement, and he chuckled: "Do you really think I'll help you?"

Du Le, as if oblivious to Lin Mu's coldness, respectfully replied: "I am aware that Lord Lin might need refining materials, and I happen to know the location of a strange treasure that could be useful."

This surprised Lin Mu slightly.

The Heavenly Realm truly doesn't lack smart people.

He merely used the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars a few times, and they detected that he needed refining materials.

Lin Mu wasn't surprised by this.

If the beings of the Heavenly Realm couldn't even discern this, they would be too incompetent.

What intrigued him was how Du Le could assert that the so-called strange treasure was the refining material he needed.

Without further words, Du Le produced a small piece of indiscernible material and presented it to Lin Mu.

His movements were very cautious, not wanting to cause any misunderstanding.

Lin Mu flicked his finger, striking the material no larger than a fingernail.

Clang!

The material emitted a metallic hum, like a sword's sound, crisp and melodious.

"Gathering Star Stone? I didn't expect such a precious material to exist in the Heavenly Realm."

Lin Mu was quite surprised.

The Gathering Star Stone is an extremely precious refining material.

Even in the Heavenly Realm, it is a rare earth treasure.

"The whole piece of material, about the size of a human head, was acquired by our Kujia Holy Land ancestors on the Heavenly Battlefield, but thirty thousand years ago, it was taken by the Holy Land of Flying Snow..."

Du Le lowered his head, his attitude respectful.

A dignified five tribulations overlord, yet in front of Lin Mu, he appeared as a junior.

The disciples behind him, especially the female disciple named Lin Rou, were vaguely dissatisfied.

Their gaze toward Lin Mu carried traces of hostility.

Lin Mu ignored them and said indifferently: "Take me to the Holy Land of Flying Snow."

He didn't even ask for more details because they were unimportant.

The presence of Gathering Star Stone meant he must obtain it!

With the addition of Gathering Star Stone, the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars can be used at least a few hundred more times!

Even if there were more five tribulations overlords, he could still kill them!

Du Le was overjoyed and immediately invited Lin Wudi to board the Imperial Sky Flying Boat of Kujia Holy Land.

The Holy Land of Flying Snow is a journey of several months from here.

But with Du Le's five tribulations thought speeding along, they could reach it in five days.

"What do you want in exchange for the Gathering Star Stone — a cultivation technique, transcending tribulation in a short time, or repairing damaged tribulation thoughts?"

Onboard the flying boat, Lin Mu spoke indifferently.

It's merely a five tribulations overlord; treating his Five Decays of Heaven and Man is not a difficult task.

Du Le was taken aback.

He didn't expect Lin Mu to offer so many solutions.

Zhen Ying of the Zhen Family must have chosen to transcend tribulation in a short time, right?

This thought flashed through Du Le's mind and was suppressed.

"What kind of cultivation technique does Lord Lin speak of?"

Du Le cautiously asked.

Compared to his own life and death, he actually cared more about the heritage of the Holy Land.

If Lin Wudi could produce a high-level cultivation technique, he would make the most sensible choice.

Lin Mu's eyes carried a hint of a smile, though his tone remained indifferent, "Increase attack power, accelerate cultivation speed, enhance aptitude — it's your choice."

At these words, even the disciples who had just glared at Lin Mu in anger now breathed more hastily.

Any cultivation technique Lin Mu mentioned is rare in the Heavenly Realm.

Du Le, compared to the disciples, was obviously more composed.

"The enhancement of aptitude you mentioned, is that...?

"It can elevate your disciples' aptitude to Genius Level and maintain it through the fourth tribulation!"

Whoosh!

Lin Mu's answer nearly made everyone's hearts leap from their chests, including Du Le.

Progressing to Genius Level and maintaining it through the fourth tribulation — even the Heavenly Realm Guard doesn't have such a cultivation technique!

This technique is undoubtedly heaven-defying!

"Lord Lin, I choose that cultivation technique!"

Du Le decided without hesitation.

Lin Mu glanced at Du Le and said indifferently, "Are you aware that you have less than five thousand years until the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, and you're sure you want this technique?"

Only then did the disciples, including Lin Rou, remember that their master was nearing death.

If he chose this way, it meant Du Le was exchanging his life for their future.

"Master, you should choose to transcend the tribulation!"

Lin Rou instantly bowed and saluted, refusing to rise.

"Master, you should choose to transcend the tribulation!"

The other disciples also bowed and saluted.

Du Le chuckled and said, "What does one life mean for the prosperity of Holy Land!"

Lin Rou wanted to speak but was silenced by Du Le's harsh glare.

He knew this little disciple well.

She must have been about to question Lin Wudi's harsh choices.

But Du Le understood the nature of such invincible beings.

Questioning them could lead not only to losing the exchanged cultivation technique but even one's life!

Only now did Lin Rou and the others remember that Lin Wudi is the "villain" who destroyed Qu Fang Holy Land and Gu Yuan Holy Land!

They were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to speak further.

Lin Mu chuckled lightly and said: "I don't like owing people, so I'll have a three-day sermon for you!"

Three-day sermon?

Everyone, including Du Le, looked at Lin Mu with surprise.

If someone else uttered such words, they would have retorted fiercely.

A mere second tribulation, daring to preach before a five tribulations overlord?

But considering Lin Wudi's past achievements, nobody dared say a word.

Lin Mu sat cross-legged and began.

"The Dao follows nature, the way of nature..."

Under the resonance caused by the Heavenly Dao Myriad Laws Record, within a few breaths, everyone, including Du Le, became immersed in Dao Methods.

Things that were once confusing became instantly clear.

Everyone's cultivation level began to visibly rise.

The sky blossomed, and golden lotuses sprouted from the earth.

On the Imperial Sky Flying Boat, peculiar phenomena emerged frequently.

Immersed in enlightenment, Du Le and his disciples remained unaware of these anomalies, focusing solely on Dao Methods.

Buzz!

Beside Du Le, there was a tremor as numerous five tribulations thoughts emerged.

Each of his tribulation thoughts was covered with cracks.

All combined, there were only about three thousand.

Evidently, his injuries were severe to the extreme.

If he hadn't encountered Lin Mu, he might have perished in less than ten thousand years.

But now, under Lin Wudi's Dao Charm, his tribulation thoughts began to recuperate.

Not as fast as Zhen Ying and Zhen Yuyang back then, but still significantly.

Crack!

Du Le's tribulation thoughts split, increasing from three thousand to five thousand!

This change alone extended Du Le's lifespan by tens of thousands of years!

Not to mention, the cracks in his tribulation thoughts diminished noticeably.

Three days of sermon, and Du Le's injuries were largely healed.
