Chapter 4065: The Remnant Soul Within the Lord of Weak Water

Shengxin knew the Battle Sovereign better than anyone she could sense any change in him immediately. No matter how well the Lord of Curses concealed himself, he couldn't fool Shengxin. She simply thought the Battle Sovereign was affected by the filth tide and didn't ask further, trusting he could recover on his own.

Lin Moyu, of course, didn't tell her the truth, nor would the Battle Sovereign himself. So the matter passed without further discussion.

Shengxin led Lin Moyu past the Dao Lord Hall, flying among the Origin Mountains and into a canyon. There, the sound of water could be heard a special small lake and a Great Dao waterfall appeared. The Weak Water Great Dao manifested in the sky, sending down endless weak water that formed the waterfall and lake. Weak water supports nothing, crystal clear but filled with hidden danger. Even a Dao Lord entering would struggle to surface, likely to be swallowed by the endless weak water.

The Weak Water Great Dao itself was neither especially strong nor weak, but had unique properties. Shengxin sometimes used weak water for alchemy and would come to the Lord of Weak Water for it.

"Sister Shui, Shengxin is here to visit!" Shengxin called softly from a distance.

A few breaths later, a misty, ethereal voice responded, "Come in." The gentle, soul penetrating voice alone conjured the image of a delicate, frail woman.

By the lake in the canyon, a white robed woman sat quietly on a lounge chair, eyes closed as if resting, exuding a sense of leisure. For some reason, Lin Moyu sensed a deep sadness emanating from her.

Her Dao heart... Lin Moyu felt her Dao heart was damaged, incomplete.

Shengxin approached. "Sister Shui, I've brought a friend."

The Lord of Weak Water opened her eyes slightly, glancing at Lin Moyu. "Daoist friend, are you here for weak water?"

Weak water had many uses, and besides Shengxin, other Dao Lords would sometimes ask for it. She was used to it.

Lin Moyu bowed slightly. "Lin Moyu greets Senior Shui. I'm not here for weak water."

The Lord of Weak Water's surname was Shui, given name Xiu, though she rarely used her real name.

She spoke lazily, "Then what is it?"

Lin Moyu said, "It's about the 621 Great Dao Lords of Burial Dao Valley."

Boom!

The weak water waterfall exploded, torrents of weak water surged skyward, and rain fell throughout the canyon. The Lord of Weak Water immediately shed her laziness, standing up from her chair, beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Moyu. "How do you know it was 621?"

Hearing this, Lin Moyu knew he'd found the right person she really was from that era and must know much about what happened. Judging by her reaction, she might know even more than he expected.

Lin Moyu said, "I went to Burial Dao Valley and unraveled the formation left by Senior Xuan Zhenzi."

The Lord of Weak Water stared at Lin Moyu. "Did you obtain those inheritances?"

Lin Moyu nodded. "I did."

She extended her hand. "I want the inheritance of the Lord of Heavy Water."

Lin Moyu asked, "Might I ask your relationship to the Lord of Heavy Water?"

She replied, "Give me the inheritance, and I'll answer any question you have. If not, I'll take it by force."

She was clearly determined to obtain the Heavy Water Great Dao inheritance, leaving no room for negotiation.

Shengxin was surprised she had always known the Lord of Weak Water to be gentle and frail, never so forceful.

The inheritances of the 621 Great Dao Lords were now in Lin Moyu's hands; the Heavy Water Dao inheritance wasn't especially important to him, so he handed it over without hesitation, sensing there must be a story between the two.

Lin Moyu used his Dao power to condense the inheritances into jade plaques. The Lord of Weak Water scanned them, confirming they were genuine, her expression growing even more serious.

She raised a slender finger to her brow, and with a ripple of soul power, drew out a remnant soul from her forehead. The remnant soul was incomplete, but Lin Moyu could see it resembled the Lord of Weak Water by seventy percent like sisters. The aura was of the Heavy Water Great Dao.

Lin Moyu immediately understood: this was the remnant soul of the Lord of Heavy Water, and most likely, the two were sisters.

The Lord of Weak Water had always used her Dao power to protect the remnant soul, hoping one day to revive her. But it was clear that was impossible the Lord of Heavy Water had truly perished, and a mere remnant soul could not bring her back. The preservation was already remarkable, but her Dao power was not as potent as Great Dao Origin Energy, so the remnant soul was far less well preserved than Xuan Zhenzi's.

Lin Moyu asked, "Senior Shui, do you hope to use the Heavy Water Dao inheritance to revive her?"

She didn't answer, instead guiding the inheritance into the remnant soul.

Shengxin explained, "Even if a Dao Lord dies, they leave a mark in their Dao. With a remnant soul and the same Dao's inheritance, there might be a chance."

Lin Moyu shook his head. "It won't work. Those predecessors didn't die ordinary deaths they gave up their chance at reincarnation and erased their marks in the Dao. They truly perished."

Shengxin was correct in general, but it didn't apply to the Lord of Heavy Water.

The Lord of Weak Water clearly didn't believe Lin Moyu, continuing to guide the inheritance into the remnant soul. Suddenly, the remnant soul began to twist violently, becoming unstable as if about to shatter.

She panicked. "How could this be? Xin'er, help me!"

Shengxin immediately used the Life Great Dao to stabilize the remnant soul, but its effect was limited it could barely keep it together, and the Lord of Weak Water grew more anxious.

"Stop!" Lin Moyu said, sending a surge of the Power of Life into the remnant soul. Instantly, the twisting soul stabilized.

The Power of Life was even more effective at healing souls than Shengxin's Life Great Dao.

The Lord of Weak Water looked at Lin Moyu. "Why is this happening?"

Lin Moyu replied, "As I said, those seniors erased their Dao marks when they fell they truly died. You can't revive her this way. For all these years, you've protected her with your Dao power, but haven't you noticed she's gradually dissipating? In less than a million years, she'll be gone."

The Lord of Weak Water fell silent, her voice full of sorrow. "Is there any way?"

She seemed drained of all spirit.

"I'll try," Lin Moyu said, taking out a spirit flower. The flower bloomed, and he gestured for her to place the remnant soul inside.

After some hesitation, she did so. The remnant soul had never left her body in countless years this was the first time, and she was reluctant to let go.

Lin Moyu observed the soul's condition in the flower. The soul stabilized somewhat, but showed no sign of recovery. He knew it had existed too long for even the spirit flower to heal it. The flower could heal wounds, not resurrect; the soul could at best return to its state upon separation.

To truly revive her, there was only one way: to reconstruct her with the power of creation.
