Chapter 3652: The Former Three Lives King
"The Three Lives Secret Technique?"
Lin Moyu was clearly a bit surprised. He had seen the Three Lives Secret Technique before. This technique had extremely lofty principles, spanning past, present and future, penetrating fate and time.
If he hadn't already mastered too many Great Daos, he would have even considered cultivating the Three Lives Secret Technique.
But what did this have to do with becoming the king of a small soul domain in the Void Realm?
Lin Moyu said: "I'd like to hear the details."
A light chuckle sounded in his ear as the Soul Heart King appeared beside Lin Moyu. Without any politeness, he stepped directly onto Little Python's head, "Little one, will you carry this king for a while?"
How could Little Python dare to object? It trembled and nodded its head with effort.
Lin Moyu took out a tea table and brewed tea using World Tree leaves and Gold and Silver Tree sap, while waiting for the Soul Heart King to speak.
The Soul Heart King said: "A long time ago, there was once a cultivator from the real world who came to the Void Realm."
"That cultivator claimed to be from the Buddhist Realm and had a very high level. He came into conflict with a king of a small soul domain in the Void Realm. After a battle, that small soul domain king was killed by him."
"At that time, that Buddhist Realm cultivator, like Lin friend, wanted to become the king of a small soul domain, but after repeated attempts, he couldn't succeed for a long time."
"There seemed to be some barrier between the real world and the Void Realm that prevented them from merging."
"Later, this person created a secret technique called the Three Lives Secret Technique. He used the Three Lives Secret Technique to evolve an avatar, successfully refined an innate void treasure, and became the king of a small soul domain."
"At that time, this event shook the entire Golden Furnace Island Great Soul Domain. Even the Emperor came in person. The Emperor talked with him for a long time, then left, and he remained unharmed."
"Afterwards, the Emperor announced to the entire Great Soul Domain, recognizing his existence. At that time, we called him the Three Lives King."
Lin Moyu's eyes changed several times. The Buddhist Realm had actually appeared in the Void Realm, and the Three Lives Secret Technique was created by this person.
The tea water boiled, and he poured some for the Soul Heart King, continuing to ask: "What happened after that?"
The Soul Heart King drank his tea and said leisurely: "What happened later was quite amusing. The real world he came from encountered misfortune, and he presumably went to participate in the war, but never returned."
"In those years, he was considered a prominent figure in the Void Realm. Many kings sought him out to discuss the Dao, hoping to find another path to transcendence."
Lin Moyu asked: "Then what about the small soul domain he was in now?"
The Soul Heart King said: "It changed hands long ago. The innate void treasure found a new master. In my view, the Three Lives King's true body must have died. Once the true body dies, his avatar naturally cannot exist."
"It seems Lin friend is very interested in this Three Lives Secret Technique. This king happens to have a copy. Back then, after he created the Three Lives Secret Technique, he sat and discussed the Dao with many kings, and also passed on the Three Lives Technique."
"Perhaps this was one of the reasons he gained recognition. He didn't keep it to himself and had good relationships with many kings."
As he spoke, a faint light appeared in front of the Soul Heart King. Within the light, the illusory image of a treasure mountain appeared, and a small fragment broke off from it, taking shape.
The fragment containing the Three Lives Secret Technique fell into Lin Moyu's hand. The Soul Heart King said: "If Lin friend is interested, you can study it. This king has also studied it before, but it's not a Void Realm technique, so it doesn't have much effect for us. However, its principles can be used for reference."
Lin Moyu didn't stand on ceremony and directly absorbed the fragment, observing its contents.
Comparing this Three Lives Secret Technique with the one he had obtained before, Lin Moyu found that there were slight differences between the two.
"The Three Lives Secret Technique I obtained before had the principle of one becoming three, representing past, present, and future."
"But the Three Lives Secret Technique here has the principle of infinity. Three is not just three, it means the Dao is limitless. It's not just past, present, and future, but also virtual and real, yin and yang. Within the virtual there is real, within the real there is virtual. Each point of virtual and real also carries yin and yang, and within yin and yang there is again virtual and real, endless and infinite."
Lin Moyu had only briefly looked through it, but he immediately gained some insights. The principles of the Three Lives Secret Technique were extremely lofty and aligned with his own ideas.
However, he had only briefly looked through it now, and was still far from truly comprehending it.
He also understood why the Soul Heart King said this secret technique was useless for kings in the Void Realm.
Because the kings in the Void Realm had never seen the real world, they couldn't truly comprehend what reality meant.
So they sought transcendence, seeking reality.
Lin Moyu sincerely said: "Thank you, Soul Heart friend. The Three Lives Secret Technique is very useful to Lin."
As he spoke, Lin Moyu gave the World Tree leaves and Gold and Silver Tree sap he had prepared earlier to the Soul Heart King. These things weren't much to him, but to the Soul Heart King, they were truly good things.
The two chatted for a while longer before saying goodbye. Lin Moyu used the Soul-Corroding Fire Basin as a guide to arrive at the Giant-Faced Lion King's former lair.
There was a simple palace here where the Giant-Faced Lion King used to live.
The materials of the palace were made of illusory materials, which were quite valuable, but unfortunately, the Giant-Faced Lion King didn't know how to use these materials.
If he could have used them well to refine powerful magical treasures, he wouldn't have been so passive when facing the Grass Soul King.
There should have been many powerful void beasts here before, but now they had all been sent out by the Lion King. Those that died died, those that were injured were injured, leaving this area empty.
Lin Moyu sensed the location of his soul world, which was actually not far from the Lion King's lair.
He threw out a few soul crystals to Little Python, indicating for it to leave temporarily and not come close.
Little Python was very obedient, biting the soul crystals and leaving far away, though it didn't go too far, still guarding its master.
One legion commander after another flew out with the undead army, protecting this soul domain. Then the World-Burning Fire blazed fiercely, turning into a sea of fire, protecting Lin Moyu.
Finally, he took out the Ice Jade Cushion. Lin Moyu sat on it, and a ball of tree sap, silver with hints of gold, appeared above his head. The tree sap turned into mist, enveloping his entire body.
After making all preparations, Lin Moyu began to study the Three Lives Secret Technique.
He compared the two versions of the Three Lives Secret Technique, discarding the dross and keeping the essence.
What Lin Moyu really wanted were the ideas and principles within it, not to copy and learn the Three Lives Secret Technique verbatim. Otherwise, he would have learned it long ago, not waiting until now.
He was waiting until his realm was high enough to look back at the Three Lives Secret Technique, using it as a springboard to create his own secret technique.
The Three Lives Secret Technique was a Buddhist thing, after all not his own. There are thousands upon thousands of secret techniques, only the one that suits oneself is the best.
Just like the Great Dao Divine Abilities. When there were no Great Dao Divine Abilities before, Lin Moyu longed for them.
Later, when he successfully obtained the Great Dao Divine Abilities, Lin Moyu felt that they didn't completely suit him.
No matter how powerful the divine abilities are, they are still things of the Great Dao.
There are so many worlds. Apart from the Origin Continent, there must be people in other worlds who have mastered the Great Dao Divine Abilities.
I can have them, others can have them too, this is not what I seek.
If one day, I can control the Great Dao and evolve divine abilities that belong only to me, that would be the ideal state.
Lin Moyu's heart soared high, not satisfied with becoming a Dao Lord, he wanted to transcend.
With clear thoughts, Lin Moyu sat on the sea of fire and ice, his body emitting a faint light.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Moyu's form began to distort, and a hazy, illusory figure slowly separated from his body.
It was not an avatar, had no consciousness, only an empty shell.
It was more illusory than a soul body, virtual within virtual, as if it could be blown away with a breath.
The Soul-Corroding Fire Basin appeared in his hand, and this illusory body slowly merged into the fire basin.
