Chapter 2728 The Spirit Beasts of the Eastern Continent
The spirit flower bloomed, enveloping the dragon eagle's soul.
Even after Lin Moyu had cut off a part of its soul, the dragon eagle still chose to trust him. This trust came from an unknown source, and Lin Moyu was slightly moved. If his sword had struck a bit off earlier, it could have been disastrous.
"Since you trust me so much, I can't let you down."
"Six-Wheel Ancient Buddha of the Lunar Earth Treasury, it seems your plan will fail."
"However, your curse still has some value, it won't be wasted." Lin Moyu waved a strand of life force, stabilizing the severed soul fragment.
The fragment contained the curse and still had great potential for use.
Lin Moyu quietly watched the spirit flower, clearly feeling the dragon eagle's soul rapidly recovering.
The spirit flower possessed an unimaginably miraculous power, able to heal almost all injuries.
Currently, it seemed to have no effect only on injuries from the great Dao, like those of the Heavenly Dao cultivator.
When the World Tree grows a bit more and the spirit flower's level increases, even injuries from the great Dao could be healed.
Using it now to heal the dragon eagle's soul was no problem at all.
If one flower wasn't enough, more could be added.
After the dragon eagle's soul entered the spirit flower, the entire soul world quieted down.
In the outside world, the dragon eagle's aura quickly stabilized, no longer fluctuating between strong and weak.
The thunder that had enveloped the entire valley dissipated, as if nothing had happened.
The light of the sun's origin poured down from the sky, bright, dazzling, and full of warmth.
A day later, the spirit flower's power was exhausted, and the dragon eagle's soul had recovered 99%.
Lin Moyu sent over a large mass of life force to complete the final step.
Wrapped in life force, the soul gradually awakened.
The dragon eagle felt as if reborn, experiencing an indescribable lightness. It knew its soul had fully recovered.
Lin Moyu's voice sounded in its ear, "Try channeling your soul power again, see if there's any discomfort."
The dragon eagle instinctively channeled its soul power. The soul world shook again, roaring incessantly.
Its soul shone brightly, clad in thunder armor.
Lin Moyu observed carefully, confirming the curse had completely left the soul body. "Alright, it's been thoroughly eradicated."
The dragon eagle withdrew its soul power, somewhat excited. "Thank you."
Lin Moyu smiled, "We're neighbors and friends. Helping each other is natural, no need to be so formal."
"Moreover, I want to thank you for your trust. If you hadn't trusted me enough, I wouldn't have been able to cure you."
"So, the one you should really thank is yourself."
The dragon eagle looked at the severed soul fragment nearby. "What's the use in keeping that thing?"
Lin Moyu said, "Of course it's useful. If it's gone, do you think that Six-Wheel Ancient Buddha won't come?"
The dragon eagle's eyes narrowed slightly, understanding Lin Moyu's meaning.
This was an opportunity for revenge. Back then, it had been able to drive the opponent away with its fourth-realm Dao Sovereign strength.
Now that it had reached the sixth realm of Dao Sovereign, killing the opponent shouldn't be difficult.
The dragon eagle said coldly, "If he dares to come, I'll make sure he never leaves, turning him to dust."
Lin Moyu said, "Don't turn him to dust. If he comes and you kill him, leave a piece of his remains for me."
The dragon eagle didn't ask why Lin Moyu wanted the remains, simply agreeing, "Alright, no problem. As long as he dares to come, he's dead for sure."
Lin Moyu said, "Don't worry, he'll definitely come. It's just a matter of time."
Leaving the dragon eagle's soul world, Lin Moyu's consciousness returned to his body, simultaneously withdrawing Zhao Dongsheng and the Giant Sword Dao Sovereign.
The dragon eagle slowly opened its eyes, lightning flashing within them. It let out a long roar, and the surroundings seemed to tremble.
However, this time there was no thunder, as the dragon eagle could now perfectly control its power.
The four Dao Sovereign realm spirit beasts asked in unison, "Leader, are you better now?"
The dragon eagle laughed loudly, "Yes, I'm cured."
The four spirit beasts immediately congratulated, "Congratulations, leader!"
Their voices echoed through the valley, and soon other spirit beasts in the valley learned what had happened, each shouting loudly.
"Congratulations, leader!"
"Congratulations, boss!"
Countless bird-like spirit beasts circled in the sky, screeching incessantly to congratulate the dragon eagle.
The dragon eagle announced in a loud voice, "From now on, our tribe and Yudao City are allies. We must help each other in the future, understand?"
"Understood!"
"Yes, boss!"
The spirit beasts shouted loudly, and Lin Moyu's lips curved slightly. This was the outcome he had hoped for.
Lin Moyu smiled and asked, "Dragon eagle, what's your real name?"
Dragon eagle was the name of the spirit beast species, not its actual name.
The dragon eagle said, "My name is Leiguang. That light crow from before is called Xiaohei."
Lin Moyu said, "Good. In a moment, I'll ask Xiaohei if it's willing to help my friend comprehend the Dao."
Leiguang said, "No need to wait. I'll call it over now."
A thought was sent out, and the next second, a beam of light shot over from the valley, appearing instantly before Leiguang.
Xiaohei was excited about Leiguang's recovery, circling around it again and again.
Leiguang asked, "Are you willing to go help Lin brother's friend comprehend the Dao of Speed? Don't force yourself. If you're unwilling, just say so."
Xiaohei didn't refuse. "I'm willing. This is what I promised him. As long as he could cure the boss, I'm willing."
Leiguang said, "Since that's the case, you'll go back with Lin brother later."
Xiaohei nodded, "Alright."
There was obvious reluctance in its tone, but it felt it should fulfill what it had promised.
Lin Moyu said, "I won't restrict your freedom. You can come back anytime you want. With your speed, it won't take long anyway."
"Moreover, you're doing me a favor. If you need anything, you can tell me, and I'll try my best to fulfill it."
The light crow said, "Alright, I'll let you know if I need anything."
Lin Moyu asked Leiguang, "Leiguang, do you know about the situation of the spirit beast world in the Eastern Continent?"
Leiguang replied, "I know a bit. What do you want to know?"
Lin Moyu took out a jade tablet and handed it to Leiguang. "I want to know everything. Please record what you know in here, and I'll look at it when I get back."
Leiguang readily agreed, "Alright!"
Two beams of light shot from its eyes into the jade tablet, recording everything it knew about the spirit beasts in the Eastern Continent.
Lin Moyu had a feeling that the spirit beasts in the Eastern Continent were different from those in the Southern Continent.
In the Southern Continent, spirit beasts were independent, each with their own territory.
But in the Eastern Continent, spirit beasts could gather together, forming groups for mutual support. Above these small groups, there should be more powerful beings ruling over these spirit beasts.
The dragon eagle's tribe was just one way of existence; there must be other ways.
Various races had cultivated on the Eastern Continent for countless years but still couldn't gain a firm foothold. There must be deeper secrets behind this.
This secret was probably known to few, even the Dao Sovereigns of various forces were unclear about it.
Lin Moyu had just mentioned it casually, based on his intuition.
