Chapter 3674: The Omniscient Discernment Beast

After passing through the Dragon Lake Small Soul Domain, they entered a vacuum area. After flying for a while in this area, they finally arrived at the small island where the Discernment Beast resided.

Upon seeing the island, Lin Moyu's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He saw a house, which was a first for him in the Void Realm. Void beasts lived amidst chaotic mist, with a concept of territory but no houses. Even the Soul Heart King, a king of a small soul domain, generally resided in a place defined by his treasures.

It was difficult to build a house in the Void Realm, as most materials from the real world couldn't be brought in. The Discernment Beast's house was made from ethereal materials that emitted a rich Great Dao energy. Just looking at the materials, the house was extremely valuable.

What truly surprised Lin Moyu was the chaotic mist under the house. It was no longer chaotic but had transformed into strips that intertwined, forming a special structure. Lin Moyu recognized at a glance that these chaotic mists had formed a divine rune.

The rune was incomplete but could be discerned as having a reinforcing effect. It used the chaotic mist to gather and fortify itself, ultimately supporting the house. Just from this, Lin Moyu could tell that the Discernment Beast was truly special.

The Soul Heart King stopped about a kilometer away from the house and didn't approach further. Instead, he called out loudly: "Discernment Beast, I've come to visit."

The door opened, and a void beast with a lion's head and a turtle's body slowly emerged. Beside it was a small dragon, shrunk to less than half a meter, which Lin Moyu recognized as the Dragon Lake King.

The Dragon Lake King, which had been arrogant in front of Lin Moyu earlier, now changed its demeanor and followed the Discernment Beast quietly, not making a sound.

When the Soul Heart King saw the Dragon Lake King, he exchanged a glance with Lin Moyu: "It really came to complain."

Lin Moyu's eyes narrowed, his gaze filled with killing intent. Although asking questions didn't matter much, if someone caused trouble, Lin Moyu wouldn't hesitate to take action.

The Discernment Beast looked at the Soul Heart King and said: "Ah, it's you. Come and talk."

The Discernment Beast's voice was old and carried an invisible authority. Its status was transcendent, even when facing several emperors. Emperors who came here would have to be polite and listen to it, as they were seeking its help.

The Soul Heart King and Lin Moyu flew over and landed in front of the house. The Discernment Beast was already at a tea table in front of the house, and the Dragon Lake King had transformed its claws to brew tea for the Discernment Beast.

The Discernment Beast glanced at Lin Moyu casually: "A cultivator from the real world, you've come to find me. What do you want to ask?"

It referred to itself as "old man," resembling an elderly person except for its non-human appearance. It also liked drinking tea, a rare trait among void beasts that Lin Moyu had only seen in the Soul Heart King. Lin Moyu wondered if the Soul Heart King had learned this habit from the Discernment Beast.

Lin Moyu took out a drop of Ancestral Water: "Have you seen this before?"

The Discernment Beast's eyes narrowed slightly: "Ancestral Water?"

Clearly, it knew what it was.

Lin Moyu continued: "Indeed, it's Ancestral Water. Do you know its origin?"

The Discernment Beast pondered: "Many worlds have it."

Lin Moyu was astonished and asked in a deep voice: "I'm asking about its origin."

The Discernment Beast looked at Lin Moyu and calmly said: "You should know my rules."

Lin Moyu replied: "I do. You set the conditions. If I can fulfill them, I will do my best. I hope that after completing them, you will give me satisfactory answers."

The Discernment Beast shook its head: "Whether my answers satisfy you is your concern. I can only promise to tell you what I know."

Lin Moyu nodded: "Alright, then this is the question: the origin of Ancestral Water. What do you want me to do?"

The Discernment Beast glanced at the Dragon Lake King beside it: "Very simple, heal its injuries."

The Dragon Lake King suddenly became agitated: "Discernment Beast, there's no need for him to—"

Before it could finish, the Discernment Beast interrupted: "Be quiet and stay still."

The Dragon Lake King immediately closed its mouth, not daring to speak again. This moment showed Lin Moyu the weight of the Discernment Beast's authority, which seemed even greater than that of an emperor.

The Discernment Beast asked: "Is there a problem with my condition?"

Lin Moyu replied: "No problem!"

With a tap of his finger, a spirit flower flew out, blooming beautifully in the void. "Enter this flower," Lin Moyu said.

The Discernment Beast looked at the Dragon Lake King and said in a low voice: "Go in."

The Dragon Lake King obediently entered the spirit flower, which quickly closed around it.

Lin Moyu chuckled: "It's really obedient."

The Discernment Beast sighed: "The little dragon is generally well-behaved, just occasionally has a bad temper."

Lin Moyu said: "Sometimes having a bad temper can lead to fatal consequences."

The Discernment Beast sighed: "As you say, people have their own destinies. If it's meant to be, there's nothing to be done. I've done all I can; the rest depends on fate."

Lin Moyu realized that the Discernment Beast had seen and heard a great deal. Its ability to "listen" might not just be about hearing; perhaps it could also depict scenes through sound. If so, what it heard would be no different from what it saw.

Lin Moyu felt his guess was likely true.

The Soul Heart King listened to their conversation without interrupting, like a forgotten presence.

After a while, the spirit flower gradually dispersed, and the Dragon Lake King flew out, letting out a thunderous dragon roar.

The Discernment Beast frowned: "Be quiet."

The dragon roar stopped abruptly, and the Dragon Lake King didn't dare make another sound. After being treated by the spirit flower, its injuries had healed.

Although it still looked at Lin Moyu unfavorably, it was somewhat better than before.

The Discernment Beast said: "You all leave now. Lin Friend, stay for a moment."

The Dragon Lake King clearly didn't want to leave and wanted to say something, but it was intimidated by the Discernment Beast's glance and retreated.

The Soul Heart King bowed to the Discernment Beast and left.

Only Lin Moyu and the Discernment Beast remained in front of the house.

The Discernment Beast said slowly: "Lin Friend, sit down and have some tea."

Lin Moyu sat down: "Have I fulfilled your condition, senior?"

The Discernment Beast chuckled: "The spirit flower can heal any wound."

Its voice was like thunder, directly revealing the name of the spirit flower, which surprised Lin Moyu: "How did you know this was a spirit flower?"

The Discernment Beast replied: "I not only know about the spirit flower but also know that you are Lin Moyu from the Origin Continent."

Lin Moyu was enlightened: "Senior, you are indeed omniscient. Nothing can be hidden from you."

The Discernment Beast shook its head, resembling an old scholar: "I've just lived a bit longer and like to listen to things here and there, so naturally, I know more."

"Do you really want to know the origin of Ancestral Water?"
