Chapter 4127: The Revival of the Beast Emperors
Lin Moyu had been through countless great battles, always as the main character. But this time, he intended to be a true spectator, to watch the unfolding of this grand drama. He trusted his instincts the great play was brewing and would soon begin.
"Daoist Lin." An Yuyan's clear voice rang out as she hurried over.
Seeing her, Lin Moyu frowned. "What happened to you?"
An Yuyan's aura was unstable, her soul clearly injured. Years of divination and repeated backlash had left her in this state. Old Yin head handed her a bottle, "Drink some Earth Yin Water first."
An Yuyan accepted and drank it. Earth Yin Water, containing Old Yin head's life essence, was very beneficial for soul injuries. After drinking, her complexion improved slightly. She said urgently, "After decades of divination, I've recently obtained a very likely result. In the last dozens of divinations, they all point to the same outcome: the Beast Emperors may soon revive. I couldn't determine how they would revive, but the possibility is extremely high."
Old Yin head looked odd. "Yuyan, you spent decades and hurt yourself for that? Daoist Lin predicted the Beast Emperors would revive within a hundred years, decades ago."
An Yuyan trembled. She'd gone through so much pain and effort for a result Lin Moyu had already guessed? She stared at Lin Moyu, as if asking how he'd figured it out.
Lin Moyu took out a few spirit flowers, "Heal first, we'll talk after you recover." Without letting her argue, he opened a flower and An Yuyan obediently entered it.
Old Yin head looked at the flower, "Daoist Lin, this flower is extraordinary."
Lin Moyu said, "It's excellent for healing."
Old Yin head's gaze grew complicated, as if recalling ancient memories. "After the world first formed, I was just an ordinary Earth Yin Stone. Later, Lunar Water fell on me, granting me intelligence. I was lucky to become the first being to comprehend the Earth Yin Dao, and my cultivation went smoothly until I achieved Eternity. When the Lunar Water fell, it brought strange memories of a great tree, with flowers and fruit. This flower of yours is similar."
Lin Moyu was surprised. The tree Old Yin head mentioned was clearly the World Tree. His memory of the World Tree came from the Lunar Water, so what was the connection between the two?
He asked, "What did the tree look like?"
Old Yin head replied, "The memory was fragmented, I can't say for sure, but I'm certain the tree was supreme. I suspect it, like me, existed from the dawn of the world and was watered by Lunar Water maybe it's a tree within the Lunar Dao itself. Later, after I achieved Eternity, I tried to find it, but by then the Lunar Dao Lord had already gone dormant and hasn't returned since."
The Lunar Dao was one of the first eight Daos formed in the Origin Land, and those eight were the earliest to attempt the final step. None succeeded, and all went dormant. The Lord of Curses had revived, only to be forced back into dormancy by Lin Moyu. The Lord of Destiny was still comprehending his Dao in the Dead End, striving for the final step. The status of the other six was unknown, but the Lord of Destiny had once said his old friends would return soon meaning those few.
When the Lunar Dao Lord returned, Lin Moyu might finally learn the World Tree's origins.
Lin Moyu didn't continue the discussion; Old Yin head knew little more, and it was pointless to speculate.
After using five spirit flowers, An Yuyan finally recovered. She immediately asked, "How did you deduce it?" She was still a bit frustrated why had Lin Moyu guessed so easily what she'd struggled decades to divine?
Lin Moyu explained his reasoning. His was based on logic, while hers was true divination of possible futures. The Cause and Effect Dao recorded every change in the world; dozens of divinations all pointing to the same result meant it was almost certain. Lin Moyu's guess was just that a guess, with a real chance of being wrong.
Thinking this way, An Yuyan felt much better. Otherwise, her decades of effort would have felt wasted.
Suddenly, Lin Moyu looked toward the Great Wilderness.
An Yuyan and Old Yin head asked in unison, "What's happening?"
Lin Moyu said, "Two beings are fighting."
"Who?" An Yuyan asked, preparing to use the Cause and Effect Dao to check.
Lin Moyu shook his head, "No need." With a wave, he projected a scene in the air, using the vision of an undead servant present at the site.
The vision was unusual, so they needed a moment to adjust. They saw two beasts, one large and one small, locked in battle.
Lin Moyu explained, "The big one is Tun Yuan, the small one is the Soulless Beast. They happened to meet and are fighting over a nearby filth pool. Tun Yuan is stronger, but the Soulless Beast's radiant light makes him wary neither can beat the other, so after a fight, they each left."
An Yuyan said, "They've both grown much stronger."
Lin Moyu replied, "Yes. Tun Yuan has recovered to his peak. Except for the Beast Emperors and the mutated beast, no wild beast can threaten him he just devours them. The Soulless Beast is similar, purifying all wild beasts in its path. Over the years, they've destroyed nearly ten filth pools and wiped out thousands of Dao Wild Beasts."
An Yuyan exclaimed, "That many?"
Lin Moyu said, "With no Beast Emperors, the wild beasts are leaderless and easy prey for them. But it won't be long before the Beast Emperors awaken, and then there will be a great battle. If the two are smart, they might join forces against the wild beasts."
An Yuyan said, "True. They're strong, but still not a match for the Beast Emperors. And who knows what the mutated beast is up to now?"
Lin Moyu said, "I sensed his aura some years ago he's still transforming. After his failed probe against us, he won't give up easily. We'll just have to wait and see."
Lin Moyu continued his preparations, making the Hengduan Mountains' formations ever stronger.
Another ten years passed. Lin Moyu left the mountains for the Great Wilderness, returning after three years.
With three years left before the predicted hundred year mark, powerful auras suddenly erupted.
The Dao Wild Beast Emperors had revived the grand drama Lin Moyu had awaited for years was reaching its climax!
