Chapter 3922: Little Python's True Spirit

The world chosen by Shangguan Wentian was about the same strength as the one chosen by the Third Ancestor. The difference was that the Third Ancestor's chosen world was not a human world, while Shangguan Wentian's was. Humans are a major race, and there are many human worlds. Lin Moyu would not show mercy just because it was a human world, nor would he deliberately target human worlds. Survival of the fittest how many times have humans destroyed worlds of their own kind? It happens so often that one becomes numb to it.

In just half a day, Lin Moyu and Shangguan Wentian entered the world. The undead servants had already spread throughout, eliminating all living forces. Under their sweep, no Dao Lord could survive. After finding the world's core, Lin Moyu used his tried and true method: first, burn the nascent will of the world with World Burning Fire, then seal it with an array, leaving Shangguan Wentian to personally guard it. With an additional hundred undead servants for protection, Shangguan Wentian's safety was assured.

After chatting with Shangguan Wentian, Lin Moyu headed to the next destination, which was much farther away the world chosen by Mohei. Mohei and the Demon Emperor's chosen worlds were quite close; at Little Python's speed, they were only a day apart. Worlds this close are likely to have conflicts. There's never true peace between worlds even within the same race, internal strife never ends.

Little Python asked, "Master, after you finish preparing for those people, where do you plan to go?"

Lin Moyu replied, "I'll head toward the Tianyu Tianzhou Great Spirit Domain, hunting Dao Beasts and Void Beasts along the way. I want to refine a large batch of Void Soul Pills this time."

At the mention of Void Soul Pills, Little Python couldn't help but lick its lips, looking greedy. Lin Moyu patted its head, "Don't worry, you'll get your share. But since you don't want to become a Small Spirit Domain Lord and your realm is already at its peak, eating more won't help you break through."

Little Python thought for a moment, "But I feel like eating Void Soul Pills is still useful. Even if my realm doesn't improve, it doesn't feel like a waste."

"Is that so?" Lin Moyu didn't doubt Little Python's feeling. As they traveled, he carefully examined Little Python. At first glance, it seemed no different from other Void Beasts just a bit smarter. But since Little Python said so, maybe there really was something unique.

After a thorough check, he found nothing unusual. Lin Moyu handed over a few second refined Void Soul Pills. "Eat them one by one."

Little Python obediently ate, slowly absorbing the medicinal power, which exploded inside and was quickly refined. Lin Moyu split his consciousness into countless threads, tracking every bit of the pill's power. After a few pills, he finally discovered something: about one tenth of the medicinal power from a second refined Void Soul Pill disappeared into the deepest part of Little Python's soul.

Lin Moyu frowned. "Strange?"

The deepest part of the soul should be where the true spirit resides. The true spirit does not exist in the Soul Void, but in some mysterious place like in the Origin Continent, only a mark of the true spirit remains. That's why the world's will can kill Lin Moyu, but never truly destroy him.

Uncertain, Lin Moyu summoned the True Fire Dao Spirit. He asked Little Python to bear with some pain, then had the True Fire Dao Spirit use the smallest flame to burn Little Python a little. "Little Python, bear with it I'll be careful." The True Fire Dao Spirit didn't dare use much force, knowing a little too much could kill Little Python. After so many years together, they were attached to each other.

Little Python gritted its teeth, trying to act tough: "As long as it doesn't kill me, burn away I'll just ah!" Before finishing, it let out a scream that startled the True Fire Dao Spirit, who hurriedly stopped, apologizing, "I really only used the smallest flame, just a little burn."

Little Python whimpered, "I know, but it really hurts."

When the true spirit is burned, the soul feels pain. At this level, most can endure it, but Little Python couldn't tolerate it at all.

Lin Moyu said, "Ignore it, burn a few more times."

The True Fire Dao Spirit obediently burned a few more times, and each time, Little Python screamed even louder.

Lin Moyu wasn't worried the true spirit isn't so easily destroyed. It's really hard to wipe out a true spirit. After more than ten burns, Lin Moyu called a halt. He was now sure that the place where the medicinal power disappeared was where the true spirit resided. About one tenth of the Void Soul Pill's power the most refined part was absorbed by Little Python's true spirit. This meant Little Python's true spirit was extraordinary.

"Could this guy be a reincarnation of a great power?" Lin Moyu wondered. That could explain it. If not, then Little Python was born with great fortune, or was a naturally miraculous beast. Either way, it was not ordinary.

Since that was the case, Lin Moyu decided to let Little Python eat as many Void Soul Pills as it wanted. If its true spirit ever awakened, it might become a mighty being. Lin Moyu thought he might be overthinking it, but then again, it didn't matter. "Anyway, if I'm idle, I might as well make this move. A casual move is better than none."

He paused, then smiled to himself. At some point, he had stopped thinking like a chess piece and started thinking like a chess player, making his own moves. That was a good thing few people can escape the chessboard and become the player.

Little Python, seeing Lin Moyu silent, worried he'd be burned again, and asked cautiously, "Master, do you still need to burn me?"

Lin Moyu said, "I've seen enough, no need to burn anymore."

Little Python was relieved. "So what did you see, Master?"

Lin Moyu replied, "You don't need to know. There will always be Void Soul Pills for you, just eat as much as you want."

Little Python instantly forgot the pain and cheered, "Thank you, great master! Master is the best!" Its flattery was quick and eager. Lin Moyu just chuckled and ignored it.

Along the way, Lin Moyu burned every Void Beast he encountered, refining their soul crystals. Now he was picky he let all below the Dao Realm go, only killing those at the Dao Realm and above. That way, the number was lower, but the quality of the Void Soul Pills was much higher.

After ten days of travel, passing through two small spirit domains, they finally reached the world chosen by Mohei. Although it only took ten days, that was because Lin Moyu traveled in a straight line, while Mohei had followed the Dao lines, which was much slower and more winding. For him to find such a distant world was impressive. No wonder after the Origin Cataclysm, he could spend so many years laying out plans in the Origin Continent such patience is rare.

Amid the void mist, a giant black whale gently slapped its tail, faintly visible as if sleeping. As Lin Moyu approached, he sensed the presence of water vapor rising Mohei had already turned to look. This was his warning system; silent and invisible, it would alert him if anyone got close.

Seeing Lin Moyu, Mohei immediately transformed into human form, showing a simple, honest smile. "Brother Lin, you finally made it!"

"Brother Lin, you've become a Dao Lord, congratulations!"

"How are things on the Origin Continent? All settled?"

"Tell me, how are the little ones in my family? Are they behaving? Have they been bullied?"
