**Chapter 2786: The Tomb of the Great Sect**
The Third Ancestor said, "That is a legacy."
"A legacy?"
"Whose legacy?"
Lin Moyu expressed his confusion.
The Third Ancestor explained, "That place is the burial ground of a great sect from countless years ago."
Lin Moyu's heart trembled. It was indeed the burial ground of a great sect.
A burial ground of a sect means that the entire sect suffered an unavoidable disaster, leading to its complete annihilation and burial.
That mountain buried the entire sect.
The Third Ancestor continued, "You don't need to know too many details. Even I don't know all the details."
"I can only tell you that in their era, that sect was unparalleled."
"The legacy within can help one break through the Dao Sovereign realm and reach a level beyond."
"Unfortunately..."
Lin Moyu interjected, "Unfortunately, so many prodigies over the years have failed to succeed."
The Third Ancestor sighed, "Yes, none have succeeded. To obtain that legacy requires immense fortune. We hold the Prodigy Gathering to gather the fortune of the prodigies, hoping to acquire that legacy."
He sighed deeply again, "But it's been failure after failure."
Lin Moyu said, "Although there have been failures, there must have been some gains; otherwise, you would have given up long ago."
The Third Ancestor chuckled, "You think it's that simple? Gathering fortune is easy, but finding someone who can bear it is the real challenge."
"Everyone has their destiny. Not everyone can bear immense fortune. Sometimes, too much fortune can turn into misfortune."
"Once it turns into misfortune, even a prodigy can die from calamity."
Lin Moyu understood the principle of extremes leading to opposites. He knew that some things shouldn't be overdone; going too far could be counterproductive.
The Third Ancestor and others had tried various methods over the years to seek the legacy.
Lin Moyu asked, "Why did you bring me here today and tell me all this?"
The Third Ancestor laughed, "Why do you think?"
Lin Moyu felt a bit helpless. He wasn't a fool; he knew the answer.
To obtain the legacy, one needed immense fortune, and although his realm wasn't high, his fortune was quite strong.
The Third Ancestor clearly valued his fortune.
"To obtain the legacy, fortune is just one aspect. One also needs comprehension and a firm Dao heart. All are indispensable."
"This time, besides a few prodigies, I hope you can try as well."
Lin Moyu instinctively asked, "Is it dangerous?"
The Third Ancestor replied, "There is some danger, but not much. Based on past experiences, the death rate is less than twenty percent."
"Twenty percent may not seem high, but it's not low either."
Risking a twenty percent chance of death for someone else's matter was a risky deal.
The Third Ancestor seemed to see through Lin Moyu's thoughts and laughed, "You're calculating the gains and losses, aren't you?"
"As long as you go, regardless of success or failure, I will grant you a favor."
Lin Moyu asked, "Anything?"
The Third Ancestor replied, "Of course not. Everything has its limits. If you gain something inside, it's naturally yours. We only take what we need."
"If you obtain the legacy to break through the Dao Sovereign realm, wouldn't that be a good thing for you?"
"I can also promise that when you need to break through in the future, you can use the origin spirit vein at will."
Lin Moyu laughed, "Don't paint me a rosy picture. I'm afraid I might smell the aroma but not get to eat the cake."
The Third Ancestor snorted, "Are you going or not?"
Lin Moyu sighed, "If I say no, will you kill me now?"
The Third Ancestor coldly replied, "What do you think?"
Lin Moyu sighed again, "To save my life, I have no choice but to go."
The Third Ancestor laughed, "You cheeky brat!"
Lin Moyu knew the Third Ancestor was joking. Even if he refused, the Third Ancestor wouldn't really kill him.
However, Lin Moyu was also interested in the legacy of that great sect.
The Third Ancestor said, "I'll give you the detailed information later. You can review it; it might be helpful."
Lin Moyu looked again at the stone mountain.
The mountain was filled with death energy and shrouded in divine light, making it difficult to see clearly.
Even with his full effort, Lin Moyu could only discern some details.
He discovered that the stone mountain was integrated with the ninth-grade origin spirit vein.
To be precise, it used the power of the ninth-grade origin spirit vein to maintain the entire mountain.
Because of this, the divine light within the mountain had not diminished over the years.
Lin Moyu even suspected that the ninth-grade origin spirit vein of the Lu Feng Merchant Guild might have been left by that great sect.
It wasn't impossible.
"Third Ancestor, who bought the Rebirth Root back then?" Lin Moyu suddenly asked.
The Third Ancestor had mentioned that the Rebirth Root was sold for a top-tier ninth-grade origin spirit vein.
The Third Ancestor chuckled, "You don't think our guild's ninth-grade origin spirit vein is the same one, do you?"
"The Rebirth Root was indeed sold for a top-tier ninth-grade origin spirit vein, but I was just a middleman and didn't gain much from it."
"That top-tier ninth-grade origin spirit vein didn't stay on the Origin Continent; otherwise, there would be a sixth ninth-grade origin spirit vein here."
"Our guild's ninth-grade origin spirit vein isn't top-tier, but among the five existing ones, it's the best."
The Third Ancestor's words had two implications.
First, he was telling Lin Moyu not to reveal the identities of the Rebirth Root's buyer and seller.
Second, he was emphasizing that the Lu Feng Merchant Guild's ninth-grade origin spirit vein was the best among the existing ones. If Lin Moyu wanted to advance to a higher realm, he would inevitably rely on it.
In essence, the ninth-grade origin spirit vein was a significant bargaining chip for the Third Ancestor, who believed that as long as Lin Moyu wanted to cultivate, he couldn't escape its influence.
Lin Moyu understood that not only was it difficult for him to escape, but the ancient beings in the nine top forces of the Southern Continent couldn't escape either.
Therefore, the Lu Feng Merchant Guild's position was very stable.
Unless they could find another ninth-grade origin spirit vein, they had no choice but to cooperate with the Lu Feng Merchant Guild.
The Third Ancestor looked at Lin Moyu with a smile, as if he had already secured Lin Moyu.
There were no tricks, just a tempting offer that Lin Moyu found hard to refuse.
Lin Moyu took a deep breath and said, "One last question."
The Third Ancestor, feeling pleased, readily agreed, "Go ahead."
Lin Moyu asked, "If I accidentally obtain the spear at the top of the mountain, who does it belong to?"
The Third Ancestor frowned, "You little fox, you're putting me in a difficult position."
Lin Moyu smiled, "Is it difficult? You should have the authority to decide this."
The Third Ancestor, as the local authority, should have the power to make such decisions. If he didn't, it would mean he couldn't guarantee Lin Moyu's safety, making cooperation impossible.
Lin Moyu didn't want to face the top forces' ancient beings with ill intentions afterward.
