Chapter 4110: How to Be Worthy of Your Heart
The Land of Severed Daos suppresses all Great Daos, yet now the Fate Dao appeared within it, which astonished An Yuyan. She didn't understand how the Lord of Fate could accomplish this.
"Could it be that the eight Great Daos that existed since the beginning of heaven and earth have some special qualities?" An Yuyan's mind raced.
Lin Moyu said, "Congratulations, senior, your years of enlightenment have finally borne fruit."
The Lord of Fate chuckled, "It's all thanks to your advice, Daoist Lin. If I'd heard it earlier, I wouldn't have wasted so many years."
Lin Moyu replied, "That's also due to your years of accumulation. If you'd heard it earlier, it might not have had the same effect."
They exchanged polite words. The Lord of Fate sighed, "It's been a long time since I looked in on the Origin Land. Let me take a look."
With that, his consciousness entered the Origin Land, observing the other Great Daos. His actions drew the attention of the other Eternals who were not currently dormant; they all realized the Lord of Fate had awakened. Many phantoms appeared in the Origin Land to greet him. The Lord of Fate was a senior to most of them.
A moment later, the Lord of Fate's consciousness returned. "The old friends of those years are about to return as well." It was as if he saw the future, the scene of those friends returning. He looked at Lin Moyu and said, "Daoist Lin, you really are unfathomable."
Lin Moyu understood what he meant. "There are always some special things in heaven and earth that are not within the Fate Dao." He himself was not within the Fate Dao or the Cause and Effect Dao, as if he had stepped outside of heaven and earth, truly a very special existence.
The Lord of Fate didn't dwell on it. He reached out, and the Fate Dao transformed into a whisk of ten thousand threads in his hand.
The Lord of Fate said softly, "With this whisk of ten thousand threads, I sweep through the destinies of all beings in heaven and earth."
As he spoke, the whisk turned into countless threads that pierced the void, passing through the destinies of countless beings and glimpsing the future. Through his perspective, the Lord of Fate sensed the information returned by the whisk.
Gradually, a thread of red light appeared in the whisk. The Lord of Fate had found the Lord of Curses. He flicked out a ball of light, which burst open to reveal a scene in the void. "He's right there."
"The outer battlefield formation," Lin Moyu and An Yuyan said in unison.
The image showed the formation on the outer battlefield. Deep within the formation, a drop of crimson blood was rolling and greedily absorbing the power of heaven and earth, growing stronger. At the same time, the War Emperor's phantom appeared in the formation. Everything looked normal on the battlefield, but the eyes faintly glowed red.
Lin Moyu said, "I should have thought of it. That guy once controlled the War Emperor, so it's very likely he hid his sub soul there."
The Lord of Fate said, "The sub soul is fragile, so it rarely leaves the body. When he entered the battlefield, he must have brought the sub soul with him. This time, to deal with you, he placed the sub soul elsewhere—clearly as a precaution."
Lin Moyu said, "The most dangerous place is the safest. Hiding the sub soul elsewhere is less safe than hiding it right under our noses, where I wouldn't suspect it."
He was still puzzled. "How did his sub soul evade the Cause and Effect Dao?"
The Lord of Fate smiled, "Look beneath the sub soul."
Lin Moyu looked and saw a stone beneath the sub soul—a Heaven Shrouding Stone.
Suddenly enlightened, Lin Moyu said, "So he used a Heaven Shrouding Stone."
The Lord of Fate said, "No, he didn't enter the gate himself. Someone else did, obtained the Heaven Shrouding Stone, and was then killed by him, so the stone ended up in his hands. He used the Heaven Shrouding Stone to block the heavens and hide the sub soul. In all heaven and earth, only I and that one other can know the sub soul's whereabouts."
"But that one won't tell you."
Lin Moyu said, "The one you mean is Senior Candle Dragon, right?"
The Lord of Fate nodded slightly. "He abides by the rules. He won't say what shouldn't be said."
Lin Moyu had already guessed Candle Dragon's identity. Since he couldn't get confirmation here, he didn't press further.
The whisk of ten thousand threads dissipated, turning back into the Fate Dao and vanishing into the void. The Lord of Fate's Dao aura quickly receded, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his previous appearance. Only Lin Moyu could sense the faint special aura on him; to An Yuyan, he was just an ordinary old man.
Lin Moyu bowed slightly. "Senior, I'll take my leave now."
The Lord of Fate said, "I wish you success, Daoist Lin. But that one has many tricks—don't let your guard down."
Lin Moyu replied, "I understand. This time, he won't have another chance."
After bidding farewell to the Lord of Fate, Lin Moyu and An Yuyan left together.
An Yuyan noticed Lin Moyu seemed troubled. "Daoist Lin, you seem preoccupied."
Lin Moyu said, "Daoist Yuyan, you should know about the formation spirit of that formation."
An Yuyan replied, "The War Emperor. He was once a Great Dao Lord, and after falling, gave up reincarnation to become the formation spirit, guarding the battlefield and making great contributions to heaven and earth."
Lin Moyu sighed. "Yes, the War Emperor did much for heaven and earth. If I kill him, it wouldn't be right. And I have a friend, Saint Heart, the Lord of Life, who was adopted by the War Emperor and views him as family."
"Now, the Lord of Curses is not only hiding beneath the formation, but is also bound together with the War Emperor."
Lin Moyu had already noticed this, which was why he was troubled. With his strength, defeating the Lord of Curses would be easy—one palm would do it—but it would destroy the War Emperor as well. That would be an injustice to the War Emperor, who gave so much, and would be hard to explain to Saint Heart. Lin Moyu always acted with a clear conscience, and if he directly destroyed the battlefield, it would violate his principles and damage his Dao heart. For any reason, he felt he couldn't do it.
But the Lord of Curses had to die. Lin Moyu was troubled, searching for a perfect solution.
An Yuyan understood his difficulty and helped him think. But even after leaving the Land of Severed Daos and regaining their Dao power, she still couldn't find a suitable method.
The Lord of Curses' sub soul had fused with the War Emperor; if it couldn't be separated, the War Emperor would not survive.
Just as they entered the Hengduan Mountains, the Lord of Power appeared before An Yuyan. "You're finally back."
An Yuyan asked, "Is something wrong?"
The Lord of Power said, "Something seems to have happened in the Great Wilderness. Those guys have been restless lately."
Lin Moyu and An Yuyan immediately thought of Tun Yuan, but it might also be what the Lord of Curses mentioned—the Beast Emperors' plans.
An Yuyan said, "Let me take a look."
She planted a fruit in her palm and used the Cause and Effect Dao to peer into the Great Wilderness. Suddenly, her body trembled and her face turned pale; she had suffered some backlash from the Dao. The fruit in her palm exploded, and a projection appeared.
