Chapter 397: The Secret of Existence

Normally, he would have subdued him immediately.

But Lin Yu was so calm, without a trace of fear.

It made him somewhat unsure.

Most crucially, he couldn't discern Lin Yu's current cultivation realm.

His aura was sometimes present, sometimes not, sometimes weak, sometimes strong.

He truly didn't dare to make a move.

"What's wrong with me? Isn't it just entering the village? Didn't you want me to come in so badly? I remember last time you wished you could dismember me. Now I'm standing right in front of you, so why are you chickening out?"

Lin Yu continued to taunt him.

A mocking smile played on his face.

However, he didn't relax. While maintaining his guard, his powerful Immortal Sense had already spread throughout the entire village.

From the outside, it was impossible to perceive the specific situation inside.

And even after he entered, from the surface alone, there was nothing particularly special to be seen.

Moxie Battle heard this but showed no reaction.

He had lived for how many years? Such provocative words were completely ignored by him.

What he truly cared about was how Lin Yu managed to enter the village.

He frowned in thought.

Many ideas surfaced in his mind, but ultimately, only one held true.

He slowly spoke:

"Lin Yu, you... became an Immortal?"

This was the only reason he could think of.

If it weren't for his guaranteed strength, with Lin Yu's cautious personality from last time, it would have been impossible for him to enter.

However, he still asked with a hint of uncertainty.

"Oh, you guessed it so quickly! Indeed, the older the ginger, the spicier it is!"

Lin Yu didn't conceal it, admitting it very generously.

His eyes held a playful glint as he slowly walked deeper into the village.

He wasn't worried that Moxie Battle would launch a sneak attack on him.

In his perception, Moxie Battle was merely at the Profound Immortal Realm.

What once seemed profound and unfathomable to him now appeared insignificant.

What he cared about was unknown risks.

He had already used his Immortal Sense to scan the village. Aside from its size, he hadn't temporarily discovered anything else special.

He could understand this, as the entire village was a space embedded within the Eternal Continent.

For this kind of mustard seed space, it was very normal for it to appear small from the outside but be vast inside.

However, he didn't believe this was the full extent of the village.

If it were that simple, it wouldn't have been sealed here.

This existence, or perhaps these people, definitely had something special about them.

So, he wanted to go inside and see.

"Lin Yu, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. I might not be able to do anything to you, but the secrets of Mo Family Village are not something you are currently qualified to investigate!"

Moxie Battle followed behind Lin Yu.

After receiving Lin Yu's answer, he no longer had any thoughts.

Insufficient strength was a critical weakness.

The situation of Mo Family Village was slightly better than the Eternal Continent before, but only marginally.

The Profound Immortal Realm was the limit.

However, for Lin Yu to thoroughly investigate Mo Family Village was a pipe dream.

"Oh? Does your Mo Family Village really have secrets? Since you've already mentioned it, why not just explain it clearly now? Save me from accidentally demolishing your only place of survival in a bit!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu stopped. He slowly turned around, his gaze falling upon Moxie Battle.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

He hadn't even gone in to examine it closely yet, and this guy had already blurted it out.

This didn't seem like a slip of the tongue; it looked more like he deliberately told him.

As for why, he couldn't understand.

If this guy hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have minded using soul-searching.

"Hmph, don't look at me with that kind of gaze. I've lived for tens of thousands of years; life and death have long been trivial to me. Even if you dismantle the entire village and search everyone's souls, you won't be able to know!"

Moxie Battle seemed to have seen through Lin Yu's thoughts. He showed no fear at all; instead, he became more open-minded.

"Let's go, I'll show you something!"

He ignored Lin Yu's change in expression, passed by Lin Yu, and walked directly towards the depths of the village.

Lin Yu thought for a moment and then followed.

Since he had come, he had to figure things out.

Mo Family Village was his second clue regarding the Gu Breeding Ground.

If he could obtain some useful information from here, it wouldn't be a wasted trip.

......

Three days later, he walked out of Mo Family Village.

The village was still the same village; he hadn't touched a single part of it.

Even Moxie Battle, he didn't kill.

Everything remained as it was.

However, his mood had become somewhat heavy.

Standing at the village entrance, he stayed for a good half-day before turning to leave.

He would return here one day.

There was a secret here.

And it was a big secret, but he was indeed not qualified to uncover it yet.

Moxie Battle still had a purpose.

In fact, the entire Mo Family Village still had a purpose.

His next stop was the far west of the continent—the Extreme Cold Ice Plain.

There, apart from the endless snow and ice plains, there was almost no trace of human activity.

The extremely cold environment meant ordinary people couldn't survive, and the barren spiritual energy meant cultivators were unwilling to come.

This was the current situation of the Extreme Cold Ice Plain.

However, in the information An Ruosu gave him, the place where the Faceless Man was originally located was very cold and had sparse spiritual energy.

Therefore, he thought of this place.

This place was rarely visited, making it the most likely hiding spot for the Faceless Man.

Soon.

Lin Yu emerged from the space.

He appeared on the boundless ice plain.

Heavy snow was still falling from the sky. Looking into the distance, there was nothing but vast white.

Creak~~~ Creak~~~

Lin Yu's footsteps on the snow made a series of sounds.

This was the first time he had seen natural snowflakes since he transmigrated.

It had to be said, occasionally going out and seeing different scenery was truly pleasant.

It even alleviated his previously heavy mood.

His Immortal Sense had already spread out. He even directly activated his ‘God-Cultivation Intercommunication’ innate secret technique.

After the incident at Mo Family Village, he knew that for some deeply hidden things, ordinary investigation was simply useless.

Especially since this time it also involved an Immortal King Artifact.

Hmm~~~

Such a familiar aura.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

His figure instantly vanished.

When he reappeared, he was already deep within the ice plain.

Within his sight was a gigantic ice palace, three thousand zhang tall.

The appearance of the ice palace wasn't what surprised him most; rather, it was the familiar feeling the aura inside gave him.

However, it seemed there was no one inside.

Lin Yu entered the ice palace without any obstruction.

"System, help me sense this. The aura here is very familiar, but I just can't remember it!"

Walking through the main hall, he observed while asking in his mind.

The ice palace was very large and complete, with everything one would expect.

It was clear that someone had once lived there.

But now it was abandoned.

The familiar feeling was very strong, but he just couldn't recall it.

[How could you not be familiar with it? The reason you can't remember is because two groups of people once lived here, and both are old acquaintances of yours. With the two auras mixed together, it's naturally difficult for you to distinguish them clearly.]
