Chapter 4095: The Soulless Beast

Using the Immortality Great Dao as the guide, Lin Moyu pushed the filth essence that had reached its extreme truly past the limit, completing the principle that when things reach an extreme, they reverse. Everything Lin Moyu did was within the rules of heaven and earth; he did not break the rules. This was different from what the Great Dao Lords did millions of years ago they had actually been breaking the rules. Because the Spirit Demon clan were not natives of this world, using the power of outsiders to transform the filth pool naturally broke the rules, so it was no wonder the things they created had problems.

Once the filth essence surpassed its limit, a miraculous change occurred: all the filth disappeared, becoming incomparably pure, as if it was the cleanest thing in existence bar none. The dirtiest became the cleanest; this is the principle that when things reach an extreme, they reverse, moving from one extreme to the other. If left uncontrolled, after this transformation, this pure substance would gradually dissipate under the rules of heaven and earth. But now, that would not happen Lin Moyu's work was only half done.

He withdrew the World Burning Fire and replaced it with the Soul Fire. Like a craftsman refining a treasure, Lin Moyu refined this flawless substance. In the Soul Fire, a Dao Wild Beast appeared. This beast was entirely pure, only palm sized, but the power it radiated was astonishing far beyond ordinary Dao Wild Beasts. It was like the opposite of all other Dao Wild Beasts: pure and nothing but pure.

When the refining finished, the little beast let out a gentle cry, as clear and clean as its body. Its small body had a pair of bright, clean, and adorable eyes that made it very likable.

An Yuyan narrowed her eyes, seeing through the surface to the essence, and whispered, "This beast has no soul?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes, it has no soul, so it can't be considered a true living being, and it won't be polluted by the surrounding Daos. On the contrary, it was evolved from the dirtiest Dao impurities and has the ability to absorb and purify Dao filth."

An Yuyan's eyes sparkled, "Can this little beast also devour Dao Wild Beasts?"

Lin Moyu replied, "Strictly speaking, it purifies them. It can cleanse the filth from Dao Wild Beasts, turning it into its own power. It looks similar to devouring, but it's actually different. Tun Yuan devoured Dao Wild Beasts, and the more he devoured, the more polluted and violent he became. But this little beast I created can purify the filth of Dao Wild Beasts, and since it has no soul, it won't be affected. Its essence is not a true lifeform, but something between a half creature and a half treasure."

The Sword Emperor also saw the truth. "So what will you do next?"

Lin Moyu said, "Just let it act freely."

With a thought, the little beast shot into the filth pool, diving straight to the bottom and slipping into the filth dark river. Wherever it passed, the filth dark river was purified.

Lin Moyu said, "It will travel along the filth dark river to every filth pool, purifying the pools and the Dao Wild Beasts. Maybe at first it will be slow, but given time, all Dao Wild Beasts can be completely resolved."

An Yuyan's beautiful eyes shone with admiration as she looked at Lin Moyu. For so many years, this problem had never been solved, yet Lin Moyu had tackled it at the root. Dao Wild Beasts had forced the Great Dao Lords and Eternals to guard this place for ages. Now, it seemed their mission would soon end. And in Lin Moyu's view, the Spirit Demon clan's mission was almost over too.

He looked at the Sword Emperor. "Sword Emperor, what do you think of this result?"

The Sword Emperor put on a serious face, "Not bad. Your method really surprised me."

Lin Moyu knew he cared about his reputation, so he didn't press. "Then, does the Sword Emperor still stand by his promise?"

The Sword Emperor replied, "Of course. What I promise, I do. You should also keep your word."

Lin Moyu said, "Naturally. I always keep my promises."

An Yuyan said softly, "I can help you too." She had already learned from the Human Emperor that Lin Moyu was going to deal with the Lord of Curses, so she wanted to help.

Lin Moyu said, "I'll contact you when the time comes. I've finished my preparations; all that's left is to see when that guy makes his move."

An Yuyan said, "Alright, I'll wait for your message in Burial Dao Valley."

A hundred years of effort had finally paid off he had created this soulless beast to resolve the Dao Wild Beast problem. The rest was just a matter of time. Next, it would be the Lord of Curses' turn. The Lord of Curses had schemed against Lin Moyu for many years, hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity. But Lin Moyu had also been plotting against him. In terms of scheming, the Lord of Curses seemed strong, but he was too cautious, and that was his weakness. After clearing away the marks the Lord of Curses left, Lin Moyu had escaped his surveillance and started planning how to deal with him...

Unlike the Lord of Curses, once Lin Moyu made his move, he would strike hard and give no chance for escape. The problem now was how to lure the Lord of Curses into making a move; he needed to create an opportunity.

Leaving Burial Dao Valley and using himself as bait, Lin Moyu returned to the Dao Lord Hall.

The Human Emperor activated the formation for Lin Moyu. Saint Heart had already told the Human Emperor everything Lin Moyu had done over the years single handedly blocking most of the wild beasts. Although the Human Emperor was skeptical, Saint Heart spoke so convincingly that he had to believe it. So when Lin Moyu returned, the Human Emperor even greeted him with a "well done."

Back at the Dao Lord Hall, Lin Moyu went to see Saint Heart, who was in seclusion refining pills.

Afterward, Lin Moyu sought out the Lord of Formations. When he saw Lin Moyu, the Lord of Formations said quietly, "The formation you wanted is ready."

Lin Moyu said, "Good. Here is the formation inheritance left by Xuan Zhenzi, senior."

The Lord of Formations looked it over and couldn't hide his joy. "Daoist Lin, are you really willing to give this to me?"

Lin Moyu replied, "I always planned to give it to you, senior. I just delayed a bit please don't mind."

The Lord of Formations had devoted his life to formations; Xuan Zhenzi's legacy was a supreme treasure to him. Years ago, Lin Moyu had forced him to set up a formation at the Dao Cliff he was reluctant at first, but as he worked, his understanding of formations deepened. Later, he bore little grudge against Lin Moyu, and even felt grateful for the formation materials Lin Moyu had given him. This subtle change in attitude was something he hadn't even realized himself.

He didn't even notice that he no longer resented Lin Moyu. After finishing the formation as requested, he waited for Lin Moyu's return. This time, it was a real surprise.

The Lord of Formations said quietly, "I'll remember this favor. If you ever need anything, just ask."

Lin Moyu said, "No requests. You've worked hard these years. Once the Dao Wild Beast problem is solved, you can devote yourself to the Dao of Formations."

Without further explanation, Lin Moyu took his leave.

Along the way, many people in the Dao Lord Hall greeted Lin Moyu warmly. Saint Heart had already spread word of what Lin Moyu had done, and since he'd shared so many inheritances, everyone was grateful for his selflessness.

Unconsciously, Lin Moyu had earned the respect of all.
