Chapter 4107: The Lord of Curses Has Not Gone Dormant
Lin Moyu's research into the nature of heaven and earth was growing ever deeper; the things he pondered were completely different from others. Even An Yuyan could not approach Lin Moyu's way of thinking, nor could she seek out the essence of heaven and earth from the tiniest details as he did.
An Yuyan listened to Lin Moyu's words she understood every word, but when strung together, they became a bit vague. As an Eternal, she had a profound understanding of her own Dao and this world, but compared to Lin Moyu, she felt as if she knew nothing there was a clear gap.
What is the essence of heaven and earth? Why seek to understand it? How is it related to the Great Dao, and what benefits does it bring? These were all questions.
"So this is the difference?" An Yuyan sighed softly, admitting the gap between her and Lin Moyu. It was a difference in comprehension of the Great Dao of heaven and earth Lin Moyu had made it instinctive, something she could never catch up to. So An Yuyan stopped asking questions, not wanting to disturb Lin Moyu, and simply watched quietly from the side.
The purification of the filth pool had reached the middle stage; at least half of the filth had been completely purified, and the pool was almost clear. Finally, at the bottom of the pool, true spirit imprints began to emerge from the filth.
Lin Moyu had visited the space of true spirit imprints before, seen countless of them, and personally collected some. The moment they appeared, he sensed them clearly. An Yuyan, though an Eternal, had little experience dealing with true spirit imprints.
Lin Moyu muttered to himself, "A filth pool is like a world, and this world breeds Dao Wild Beasts. The world holds the true spirit imprints, while the true spirits of the Dao Wild Beasts exist in heaven and earth."
"Heaven and earth acknowledge the existence of Dao Wild Beasts, but also guard against them devouring the Great Dao. So what is the purpose of Dao Wild Beasts' existence?" Suddenly, Lin Moyu thought of a possibility: the purpose of Dao Wild Beasts is to cultivate Great Dao Lords, to help them become Eternals. After becoming a Great Dao Lord, to go further requires enough fate of heaven and earth, and also an unwavering will. But obtaining the fate of heaven and earth isn't easy so the existence of Dao Wild Beasts provides Great Dao Lords with enough fate.
If you are strong and daring enough, you can be like the Lord of Slaughter, accumulating fate by slaying Dao Wild Beasts and forcing open the Gate of Eternity.
With this realization, Lin Moyu understood that heaven and earth always maintain balance; there is always a path for people. For Great Dao Lords, the existence of wild beasts is ten roads to eternity.
But what about the Eternals? Could the Beast Emperors also be their path?
Lin Moyu faintly grasped a key point: to become the master of heaven and earth, perhaps he needed to start with the Beast Emperors. This was likely, and he decided that after becoming Eternal, he would seek out the Beast Emperors to continue his research and find the way to become the master of heaven and earth.
He had a faint feeling that becoming the master of heaven and earth was very important for him. Even if he took the final step and became a Transcendent, there were still levels among Transcendents. Chaos was not safe; he would need even greater power. There were still many mysteries to solve: vanished small worlds, ancient battlefields in the great world, the God Xia Pagoda replica belonging to Meng Anwen, and the mysterious manor that appeared in the great world all were puzzles to be unraveled.
Finally, the true spirit imprints at the bottom of the pool were fully exposed. The Soulless Beast's light fell on them, and they began to smoke and dissipate. At the same time, the Dao Wild Beasts attacking furiously began to die in groups. With the destruction of their true spirit imprints, they could not survive, falling from the sky into the pool. The pool, full of purifying power, dissolved their bodies and devoured their souls.
The Soulless Beast targeted the true spirit imprints directly, killing the Dao Wild Beasts by destroying their imprints an incredibly efficient method. In just a moment, over a hundred thousand Dao Wild Beasts were dead or dying. The rest would not last long within a few minutes, they would all be gone.
Some Dao Wild Beasts died at the shore, but the pool generated a powerful suction, as if giant hands dragged the beasts in. The Soulless Beast still lay atop the pool, seemingly doing nothing, yet it had already wiped out all the Dao Wild Beasts here. As their numbers dwindled, Lin Moyu withdrew the formation and watched with his own eyes.
He and An Yuyan hovered in the air, watching the whole process. An Yuyan sighed, "So powerful it cleaned them all out so easily."
Lin Moyu said, "Once purified, the filth pool will completely lose its function and should be renamed the Clear Pool." An Yuyan also noticed that after the Soulless Beast's purification, the pool itself gained a purifying effect. Any filth flowing in from underground would be purified immediately. The filth pool was gone; the Clear Pool had appeared.
A few days later, when the Soulless Beast finished its purification, the sky suddenly darkened and thunder rumbled. Then a dazzling, vast fortune of heaven and earth descended upon Lin Moyu. Since the Soulless Beast was created by Lin Moyu, all its deeds were credited to him. Killing over a hundred thousand Dao Wild Beasts was nothing; transforming a filth pool into a Clear Pool was the real feat, and the fortune granted was immense.
An Yuyan was amazed: "Such powerful fortune of heaven and earth!"
Lin Moyu smiled, "Indeed, it's stronger than I expected." He felt that even if the Immortality Great Dao was absent from the Origin Land, with this fortune he could still knock on the Gate of Eternity and send his Dao through. If he purified two or three more pools, plus all the wild beasts he'd slain over the years, it would be more than enough.
He had long since fulfilled the Candle Dragon's requirements he'd killed countless Dao Wild Beasts. Thinking of the Candle Dragon, Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat. After forcing the Lord of Curses into dormancy, the Candle Dragon hadn't appeared, nor had he punished the Sword Dao Spirit and the others; the matter seemed to have been left unsettled. Could the Candle Dragon have forgotten? Impossible. When they spoke, the Candle Dragon had agreed to settle things later. Since he hadn't appeared, it meant the matter wasn't over.
This meant something was wrong. Lin Moyu turned to An Yuyan, "Daoist Yuyan, help me check the state of the Curse Dao in the Origin Land."
An Yuyan was also puzzled but did as asked, sending her mind into the Origin Land to check on the Curse Dao. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said, "The Curse Dao is currently dormant."
Lin Moyu was still uneasy just because the Dao was dormant didn't mean the problem was solved. The Fate Dao was also dormant, but the Lord of Fate was alive and well in the Land of Severed Daos.
Lin Moyu said, "Compare the Curse Dao with the Fate Dao see if there's any difference."
An Yuyan did so and soon noticed something odd. "The Curse Dao seems a bit more active than the Fate Dao, but the difference isn't great."
Lin Moyu's voice grew heavy. "The Lord of Curses hasn't truly gone dormant."
