Chapter 346: Caution is the Parent of Safety
Lin Moyu chatted with Jiang Yi for a while longer.
Jiang Yi’s body had died, but his divine power had transformed into a secret realm, preserving his soul.
Only someone who had reached his level could survive in such a special way.
The secret realm he created was modeled after his childhood hometown.
With mountains and rivers, the environment was beautiful. Jiang Yi lived day by day with his memories.
For over 600 years, Lin Moyu was the first person to enter the secret realm.
Jiang Yi asked Lin Moyu about the current state of the human race.
From his words, Lin Moyu could feel that even at this stage, Jiang Yi still cared deeply about the human race.
When talking about the Abyssal Demons, he still harbored deep hatred.
Over 600 years ago, the human race and the Abyssal Demons had their most intense battles.
The human race was weak but extremely tenacious.
It was thanks to the selfless sacrifices of many sages that the human race survived to this day.
Now, the conflicts were not as intense, and the human race was growing stronger.
They had the ability to stand against the Abyssal Demons.
But as for eradicating the Abyssal Demons, according to Jiang Yi, it was impossible.
Even if a transcendent-level expert emerged, it would still be impossible.
Jiang Yi emphasized this point again at the end.
In the White God Courtyard, Bai Yiyuan and Yan Kuangsheng looked worried.
They didn’t know Lin Moyu’s situation and were both concerned.
Even the finest tea in their hands tasted flavorless.
"Xiaoyu should be fine, right?" Bai Yiyuan said softly.
"Of course, he’s fine," Yan Kuangsheng immediately replied, but his tone seemed uncertain.
After all, Lin Moyu had entered the secret realm left by Jiang Yi over 600 years ago.
No one knew what the situation inside the secret realm was like.
Bai Yiyuan frowned, "Old Meng, why do you think Jiang Yi left a secret realm?"
Meng Anwen had a phantom of the Divine Summer Tower spinning in his palm, emitting a faint glow.
Meng Anwen’s eyes were closed, seemingly deep in thought.
After a moment, the Divine Summer Tower stopped spinning, and Meng Anwen opened his eyes, "Jiang Yi is not dead."
"What!" Bai Yiyuan and Yan Kuangsheng jumped up:
"Jiang Yi is not dead, how is that possible?"
Meng Anwen said, "Calm down, let me finish."
"Jiang Yi is not completely dead. His body is dead, but his soul survived."
"It’s in that secret realm."
"And all these years, he has been hiding in the Instance Dungeon Hall, using its power to stabilize the secret realm." Yan Kuangsheng’s face looked unnatural, "If Jiang Yi is not dead, what does he want to do?"
Bai Yiyuan’s eyes suddenly showed a dangerous glint, "Is he trying to possess someone? I’ve heard of a skill that can take over someone else’s body."
Meng Anwen chuckled, "What are you thinking? Jiang Yi is not that kind of person."
"Based on Jiang Yi’s achievements, I think he is likely already half a step to transcending godhood. If he were to possess someone, he could live, but he would never return to his peak."
"With Jiang Yi’s pride, he would rather die than do such a thing."
"Think about it, if it were you, would you do it?"
God-level experts are very proud, and both Bai Yiyuan and Yan Kuangsheng shook their heads; they wouldn’t do it.
"Then what does he want to do..."
"Who knows, we’ll have to wait for Xiaoyu to come back and ask."
After a moment, spatial fluctuations appeared, followed by a familiar aura.
The three of them relaxed simultaneously; Lin Moyu had returned.
Seeing Lin Moyu walk in, Bai Yiyuan coughed lightly, "Did you see Jiang Yi?" Lin Moyu wasn’t surprised and nodded, "Yes, I saw him."
Bai Yiyuan continued to ask, "Did he ask you for something?"
"Teacher, Senior Meng, take a look at this."
As Lin Moyu spoke, he took out the two boxes Jiang Yi had given him.
Just as he was about to open the boxes, Meng Anwen said, "Wait."
He pointed his finger into the air, and the Divine Summer Tower appeared in mid-air.
Light radiated from the Divine Summer Tower, enveloping the entire White God Courtyard.
The teleportation point was temporarily closed.
At this moment, the White God Courtyard seemed to be detached from the world, becoming an independent space.
Meng Anwen said, "These boxes are unusual. I don’t recognize the material, and I think the contents are extraordinary. It’s better to be cautious."
Bai Yiyuan and Yan Kuangsheng were both shocked. With Meng Anwen’s knowledge and profession, there weren’t many things he didn’t recognize.
Bai Yiyuan said, "Old Meng is indeed meticulous."
Yan Kuangsheng said, "It’s indeed better to be cautious."
After making preparations, Lin Moyu opened the box containing the severed finger of the god.
A strange aura emanated from the box, instantly filling every corner of the White God Courtyard.
Their faces changed dramatically, and they looked at each other. If not for Meng Anwen’s caution, this aura might have spread far and wide.
Even now, the aura seemed to be trying to break through the barrier and spread outside.
Meng Anwen’s face changed slightly, "Get into the tower!"
As he spoke, the Divine Summer Tower shot out three beams of light, instantly enveloping the three of them.
Not only them, but even the White God Courtyard was taken into the tower.
The place where the White God Courtyard stood instantly became desolate.
Meng Anwen’s eyes flashed with brilliance, and his hands moved rapidly, creating afterimages.
One after another, mysterious seals flew from his hands, spreading in all directions.
After casting over a thousand seals, Meng Anwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I’ve reinforced the space and used the Divine Summer Tower for isolation. It should be fine now."
At this moment, Yan Kuangsheng looked shocked, "This really is a god’s severed finger."
Bai Yiyuan said solemnly, "I always thought the existence of gods was just a legend. How could there be gods in this world?" Meng Anwen chuckled, "That’s why I told you to read more. I told you before, but you didn’t believe me. Do you believe me now?"
Lin Moyu asked, "Teacher, Senior Meng, what exactly are gods? Are they stronger than god-level experts?"
Bai Yiyuan glanced at Meng Anwen, signaling him to explain.
Yan Kuangsheng clearly couldn’t explain either.
Meng Anwen said, "These two only know how to fight and kill; they don’t understand anything else."
"There are many types of gods. Most gods are elemental composites, like the Wind God or the Fire God."
"As for their strength, it’s hard to say. After all, no one has seen a real god."
"But judging from this severed finger, gods are quite powerful."
Bai Yiyuan looked at the severed finger, "I think it’s not stronger than me, but its power is indeed very mysterious." Yan Kuangsheng said softly, "It’s very pure, purer than us."
Their feelings were the same as Lin Moyu’s.
The aura emanating from the severed finger wasn’t much stronger than that of a god-level expert, but it was very pure. Lin Moyu felt he had sensed this purity somewhere before...
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized, "Teacher Yan, I feel this power is somewhat similar to your killing intent, also very pure."
Yan Kuangsheng seemed to understand something and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Yan Madman, what’s wrong with you?"
Bai Yiyuan shouted.
Meng Anwen was also puzzled.
Yan Kuangsheng laughed crazily, clearly very happy, patting Lin Moyu’s shoulder, "Xiaoyu, you really woke me up with a single word."
"I always thought the more killing intent, the better."
"Now it seems, it’s not about quantity but purity."
Yan Kuangsheng’s words made Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan thoughtful.
Lin Moyu wasn’t at their level yet, so he couldn’t fully understand, but he kept it in mind.
It seemed this god’s severed finger was indeed useful.
Meng Anwen pondered for a while and said, "No wonder Jiang Yi said this god’s severed finger would make all god-level experts fight for it. It’s not without reason."
"Xiaoyu, I have a suggestion."
Lin Moyu immediately said, "This god’s severed finger is not safe with me. Could I trouble Senior Meng and Teacher to help me keep it?"
Meng Anwen chuckled, Lin Moyu’s words were well-spoken, and they were pleased.
Lin Moyu indeed didn’t need it now. At least not until he reached level 88 and needed to prepare for godhood.
Carrying it now would be unsafe.
Lin Moyu said, "Teacher, Senior Meng, could you take a look at this other item?"
The three of them carefully examined the small bead in the other box.
Bai Yiyuan and Yan Kuangsheng were the first to give up; they couldn’t understand it at all.
Meng Anwen pondered for a long time and finally shook his head.
"The world is vast and full of wonders."
"I don’t recognize this treasure either, but it seems to be of a very high level."
Lin Moyu said, "Jiang Yi asked me to deliver it to the one in the core area."
"What!"
Yan Kuangsheng exclaimed!
