Chapter 4108: Each With Their Own Thoughts
Making this judgment was not easy after all, Lin Moyu had personally killed the Lord of Curses, and the locations of his hidden avatars were found using the Seeking Cause Ring. With such tangled karma, there should have been no mistakes. So at the time, Lin Moyu was certain that the Lord of Curses had been forced into dormancy.
Now, without concrete evidence, to suddenly say the Lord of Curses had not gone dormant was to overturn his previous conclusion.
An Yuyan felt this was unlikely. "Could you be mistaken?"
Lin Moyu shook his head. "I don't think so."
An Yuyan said, "Let's not rush. Let's check again."
She brought out a treasure a mirror. "Trace cause, seek effect!" The mirror revealed a scene from the Origin Land, and a thread of karmic power landed on the Curse Dao. After sensing for a while, An Yuyan frowned. "There's no karma. Judging by karma, the Lord of Curses should be dormant."
Lin Moyu said, "Karma isn't always accurate. There are many ways to shield karma. Can you show me the state of the Origin Land so I can take a look?"
An Yuyan nodded and activated her power, projecting an image of the Origin Land with the mirror. This clearly put a lot of strain on her; the Origin Land is the core of heaven and earth, shrouded by invisible power that does not permit outsiders to spy on it. To enter the Origin Land, one must either be an Eternal or, like Lin Moyu, have their own Great Dao within it. Even so, one must still pass a test.
An Yuyan's act of revealing the Origin Land's state came at a great cost. Lin Moyu knew this, so he looked quickly. He locked onto the Curse Dao. On the surface, it appeared dormant, but Lin Moyu could see that inside, Great Dao power was still flowing very slowly, but different from other dormant Daos.
"That's enough," Lin Moyu said, stopping her.
An Yuyan stopped at once. "Well?"
Lin Moyu said, "The Lord of Curses truly hasn't gone dormant."
An Yuyan's expression changed. "Are you sure?"
Lin Moyu was certain, but he knew finding the Lord of Curses would not be easy. Whether he was dormant or not made a big difference. If he was dormant, he would enter reincarnation, his true spirit being reborn. Reincarnation is not always successful; he might be reborn as a blade of grass, a tree, or a void beast. In a new life, he might not awaken intelligence or return to the path of cultivation. It might take many lifetimes to get back on the path, and even then, there's no guarantee he'd return to the Dao at most, he'd have an advantage in talent and affinity for his Dao, but could still die along the way. After countless cycles, he would eventually return, but how long that would take is uncertain maybe hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.
So as long as the Lord of Curses could be forced into dormancy, that would be enough. By the time he returned, Lin Moyu believed he would be able to crush him with ease.
But now, since the Lord of Curses had not gone dormant, he had a way to recover. It would still take a long time, but the process was completely different. Lin Moyu's greatest worry was not that the Lord of Curses would come after him, but that he would target the Origin Continent. The Lord of Curses knew where the Origin Continent was; before, he hadn't cared, but now, who could say? And Lin Moyu couldn't return to the Origin Continent right now.
An Yuyan also considered this. "What do you plan to do?"
Lin Moyu thought for a moment. "There are only two ways. One is to find him and find a way to kill him. The other is for me to advance to Eternal and leave the battlefield of heaven and earth." Actually, there was a third way: after becoming Eternal, destroy the Curse Dao in the Origin Land. That would be the most thorough solution the Lord of Curses would not just be dormant, but truly dead. But Lin Moyu knew he couldn't do that yet.
The second way, even if he became Eternal and left the battlefield, he couldn't always guard the Origin Continent he'd have to leave sometime. Now that the Lord of Curses was once again hidden, who knew when he'd strike? So the only real solution was the first: find him and kill him.
The problem was how to find him.
An Yuyan said, "You don't need to worry. For the next two or three hundred years, he won't be able to stir up trouble. After such heavy injuries, he'll need time to recover two or three hundred years at least, maybe more."
Lin Moyu thought about it and had an idea. "Let's go to the Hengduan Mountains."
An Yuyan asked, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Moyu replied, "I'm going to find someone maybe he can help."
An Yuyan was puzzled; she couldn't imagine who Lin Moyu could find. Even her Cause and Effect Dao couldn't locate the Lord of Curses could anyone else? Besides, she knew everyone in the Hengduan Mountains.
Lin Moyu didn't say who, only that she'd know when they got there.
After the filth pool was completely purified, the Soulless Beast looked up at Lin Moyu and let out a crisp call, full of affection. Then it jumped into the pool, entered the underground filth river, and headed for another pool. The Soulless Beast had its own rhythm; Lin Moyu didn't interfere.
The two of them crossed the plain at top speed, arriving at the Hengduan Mountains. Facing the towering range again, Lin Moyu was still a bit awed. Such a mountain range, connecting heaven and earth like a giant wall blocking disaster, could not be found anywhere else.
The Sword Emperor was waiting at the foot of the mountains, and sensing Lin Moyu and An Yuyan's auras, he flew over in a streak of light.
"All done?" the Sword Emperor asked.
Lin Moyu nodded. "All done. Let's go, I'll send you back."
The Sword Emperor said, "Alright, but don't forget what you promised deal with Tun Yuan quickly." After the battle with the Lord of Curses, the Sword Emperor trusted Lin Moyu a bit more. He felt Lin Moyu was not only mysterious, but also highly capable even an Eternal could be outmaneuvered by him. And since it was Lin Moyu who crippled Tun Yuan, he was probably the best person to deal with him. The Sword Emperor also had a feeling that if he ever went up against Lin Moyu, he might end up the unlucky one. He wanted to take his findings back to his clan and inform the other emperors especially about the Soulless Beast, which needed to be discussed.
An Yuyan activated the Hengduan Mountains' formation, and with different thoughts in their hearts, they quickly reached the Land of Severed Daos. This time, An Yuyan accompanied Lin Moyu into the Land of Severed Daos, witnessing firsthand how Lin Moyu turned it into a smooth path.
On his third journey through the Land of Severed Daos, Lin Moyu was faster than ever just over twenty days to cross it. At the Spirit Demon Clan's exit, Lin Moyu said farewell to the Sword Emperor. "I won't go any further. Thank you, Sword Emperor. Once I've dealt with Tun Yuan, I'll visit your clan again."
The Sword Emperor was preoccupied and didn't think much of it. "Alright, we'll wait for your news." He turned and left. An Yuyan remarked, "He seems preoccupied."
Lin Moyu could guess why. "Don't worry about him. Let's go meet someone."
