Chapter 4068: How Could I Forget Her

After millions of years of experimentation and a million years of gestation, the being they were cultivating finally took shape. This unknown being naturally radiated an indescribable power, a force that transformed the Dao impurities, essentially cutting off the root of the Dao Wild Beasts. If this power were allowed to spread, the Dao Wild Beasts would face a fatal blow. At the same time, another force emanated from it, spreading throughout the world and causing many Great Dao Lords to feel a sense of dread.

At the time, Shuixin also felt this dread, but she suppressed it, even holding hope for the being. If they could eliminate the Dao Wild Beasts, it would be a great merit for the entire world, and she would surely gain a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Fortune, giving her a chance to knock on the Gate of Eternity. Among all the Great Dao Lords, her cultivation and contributions to the experiment were among the highest; in terms of merit and reward, she would have received the most Heaven and Earth Fortune and was confident in her bid for eternity.

Unfortunately, an accident occurred. The Dao Wild Beasts suddenly rioted, and even the Heaven and Earth Spirit Demons appeared. The gathering of the emperors revealed some secrets about the Heaven and Earth Spirit Demons. The Spirit Demon Emperor regarded the being gestating in the filth pool as a mortal enemy, as did the Beast Emperors.

From Shuixin's account, Lin Moyu learned things that Xuan Zhenzi had never mentioned. The Spirit Demon Emperor once said they had nurtured a world destroying monster that could not be allowed to live. As for why all of them had to die, it was because the Spirit Demon Emperor feared they might create another monster, so they had to die and erase their marks from the Dao, truly perishing and even losing the chance of reincarnation. If they did not die, the Spirit Demons would join forces with the Dao Wild Beasts, allowing the beasts to devour the Daos and destroy the world.

Faced with this, the Great Dao Lords had no choice. The world destroying monster in the filth pool was destroyed by the Spirit Demon Emperor, and the rest perished in Burial Dao Valley. Fortunately, they were allowed to leave behind their inheritances this was the greatest concession from the Spirit Demon Emperor.

Unexpectedly, Shuixin had left a wisp of her soul with her mother, and the Lord of Weak Water protected it for tens of millions of years until Lin Moyu revived her.

Shuixin's account supplemented Xuan Zhenzi's, giving Lin Moyu a deeper understanding of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Demons. Although their origins were unknown, it was clear they were not enemies of cultivators they blocked some Dao Wild Beasts, especially holding back the Beast Emperors, which helped maintain the balance of the battlefield. But they were not friends either; when their own interests were at stake, they would join forces with the Dao Wild Beasts against cultivators.

For the Lord of Weak Water, this was the first time she heard the real story of the past. She was puzzled: "The past is over, Daoist Lin, why bring it up again? Has something changed?"

Lin Moyu replied quietly, "I activated the formation left by Senior Xuan Zhenzi and saw the sealed filth pool. Through the passage he left, I sensed what was inside. The world destroying monster the Spirit Demon Emperor spoke of is not dead."

The Lord of Weak Water's expression changed drastically she knew what it would mean if the monster was still alive.

Shuixin said, "Back then, the Spirit Demon Emperor personally destroyed it and severed the connection between this filth pool and the underground impurity rivers. This pool became a dead pool with no source how could something still be gestating?"

Lin Moyu shook his head. "I'm not sure. From what I sensed, the monster has intelligence and has learned to hide. If it emerges, this world could face disaster. That's why I want to find the Spirit Demon Emperor maybe he knows something. But I don't know where to find him, so I came to ask if you have any clues."

The Lord of Weak Water shook her head. "We know little about the Spirit Demons, only occasionally encountering them in battle."

Shuixin thought for a moment. "Based on the direction the Spirit Demons came from back then, it should be toward the inner battlefield. Maybe the eternal beings there would know."

Lin Moyu's eyes lit up. "How could I forget her?"

With that, he took out the Seed of Causality and activated it with his soul. "Senior, are you there?"

The Seed of Causality glowed, connecting to the Dao of Causality, which shimmered faintly in the void. The others recognized it as the Dao of Causality and knew Lin Moyu was contacting the Lord of Causality, an eternal being.

A moment later, An Yuyan's voice came from the Seed, "Daoist Lin, you're in the Origin Ancestral Land?"

Lin Moyu replied, "Yes, I have a question. Do you know where the Spirit Demon Emperor is?"

"Spirit Demon Emperor? Why do you want to find him?" An Yuyan was surprised, but before Lin Moyu could answer, she continued, "Don't move, I'll come find you and talk in person."

The Seed of Causality immediately dimmed. Lin Moyu was surprised An Yuyan was as direct as ever.

Shengxin and the others were astonished Lin Moyu was so familiar with the Lord of Causality, an eternal being usually held in the highest regard. Although eternals were also Dao Lords, their status and strength were on a different level, and they could not be killed. When they fought, they were truly terrifying.

Moments later, with a twist of space, An Yuyan herself not just a projection appeared outside the valley and flew in. Lin Moyu remarked, "Senior, you're here on the battlefield too? To ignore the formation is impressive."

An Yuyan replied impatiently, "Enough flattery. I'm just passing through the inner battlefield, which has a passage to the Origin Ancestral Land. I came from that side. Now, tell me why do you want to find the Spirit Demon Emperor?"

She got straight to the point, ignoring everyone else as if they didn't exist.

Lin Moyu didn't hide anything. "No rush, Senior. Have some tea and let's talk slowly."

The Lord of Weak Water quickly made tea for An Yuyan. "Please, Senior."

An Yuyan was truly ancient, having achieved eternity and lived for who knows how long. She knew far more than anyone else present. Lin Moyu realized he should have thought of her sooner perhaps this was fate. If he'd thought of An Yuyan at the start, he wouldn't have come here or revived Shuixin.

An Yuyan sat down and noticed Shuixin, frowning. "There's something odd about you."

With a flick of her finger, the Dao of Causality appeared above the valley, casting a glow over everyone. An Yuyan seemed to understand. She looked at Lin Moyu. "You did this?"

Lin Moyu chuckled, "Yes."

An Yuyan snorted, "You're always outside of causality such a headache. As long as you're involved, I can't calculate anything. But she's very lucky, clearly favored by Heaven and Earth, or she wouldn't be here."

The Dao of Causality can search cause and seek effect, but when it comes to Lin Moyu, An Yuyan can't calculate anything. Still, she looked Shuixin's presence here was truly a sign of Heaven's favor.

Lin Moyu smiled. "Since you're here, Senior, I'll start from the beginning. This is something you should know."
