Chapter 4180: Candle Dragon Will Transcend

Among the 108 naturally formed filth pools of heaven and earth, the Soulless Beast had already purified ninety nine, leaving only the last nine "royal pools." The purification of the royal pools was clearly much slower; as centers where Dao filth accumulated, they were not so easily cleansed.

Lin Moyu was not in a hurry. The Soulless Beast's purification might be slow, but as long as it could be done, it was enough slow and steady did the trick. Once he confirmed that the Soulless Beast could purify the royal pools, Lin Moyu moved on, surveying the Great Wilderness.

He had crossed the Great Wilderness countless times with his undead servants, but never truly measured it himself. The situation with the wild beasts was temporarily resolved, but as long as Dao filth continued to accumulate, things like the wild beasts would eventually reemerge.

Blocking the filth wasn't as good as redirecting it. If one tried to forcibly block the Dao filth, when the accumulation reached a certain point, even worse things might happen. Therefore, he needed a way to channel the excess Dao filth elsewhere, putting it to use. Only then could the wild beast problem be truly and thoroughly resolved.

Candle Dragon's previous array arrangements had given Lin Moyu some inspiration. He intended to use the Dao filth to construct an array that would cover the entire Great Wilderness.

In the Great Wilderness, some filth flowed underground as dark currents, while some surged above ground as mighty rivers. Within these "filth rivers" appeared all kinds of strange creatures similar to but not the same as Dao wild beasts more savage and primitive, yet universally powerful and not inferior to the wild beasts.

The same Dao filth could give rise to different living beings. This was one of the wonders of heaven and earth, and a mystery Lin Moyu was always keen to study. Even within the Great Thousand World, life could arise. But Lin Moyu's understanding was shallow he knew that things happened, but not why.

As the pools were purified, the Dao filth, having nowhere else to go, accumulated massively throughout the Great Wilderness. Both in underground rivers and surface flows, filth increased dramatically, and so did the strength and numbers of the beings that emerged from it. If Dao filth continued to have no outlet, in a few thousand years such beings could grow powerful enough to rival the wild beasts themselves.

In tens of thousands of years, new natural arrays would form, recreating environments like those of the old filth pools. As long as the root of the Dao filth was not resolved, even the end of the wild beasts would only mean the rise of something similar.

Based on the principle that redirection is better than blockage, Lin Moyu set about surveying the Great Wilderness to lay down a super array that would harness this Dao filth. If Candle Dragon could gather filth for himself, so could Lin Moyu. But his ambitions were greater not only seeking transcendence, but also aspiring to become a Domain Lord.

From what he understood, even the Chaos World was far from peaceful there were still endless struggles and a law of strength. Even among the transcended, there were levels of power. Becoming Domain Lord made one the master of an entire domain and its countless living beings; even the Sovereigns of Heaven and Earth would not casually provoke a Domain Lord, as that meant endless consequences.

Moreover, Lin Moyu sensed that the secrets of life and death were tied to this bodies were easy to create, but souls were elusive. Even the Soul Dao did not reveal their true origin. Becoming Domain Lord might offer the chance to unravel these mysteries, which could only be of great benefit.

Continuing his survey, Lin Moyu's map of the Great Wilderness became even more detailed than the ones his undead servants had produced, especially concerning the twists and turns of the underground filth currents. Sensing alone was insufficient; he deployed vast numbers of undead servants to traverse every hidden path. After half a year, he had mastered the entire layout.

A complex grand array gradually took shape in his mind vastly larger and stronger than any array he had ever constructed. Since Dao filth was now akin to the power of Eternity, harnessing it required formidable arrays; ordinary ones would corrode quickly and collapse. Lin Moyu had to improve many divine runes, making them strong enough to withstand constant erosion over the years.

Now, within the domain, only Candle Dragon and Lin Moyu could achieve this. Candle Dragon's arrays always imitated natural formations, closely aligned with the laws of heaven and earth. Lin Moyu's, on the other hand, bore a distinctive personal mark different but not inferior.

Imitating natural arrays, in his view, was always limited by the natural standard, making true transcendence difficult. He sought to surpass not only natural arrays but the very heavens. He would borrow their strengths but not blindly copy.

Strong arrays appeared throughout the Great Wilderness, leading from underground to the surface and even into the sky. The arrays acted as deep wells, channeling away the filth trapped below, so it no longer pooled and stagnated.

The extracted Dao filth was then funneled into another array system for further refinement and purification a process similar to Candle Dragon's, but Lin Moyu took it further, creating a purer, stronger filth power imbued with his own powerful will. No one else could use this power.

This was a long process. Constructing the grand array and refining filth power occupied him for nearly a hundred years before he finally harvested even a trace of it. Refinement was unimaginably slow; Candle Dragon had needed countless years to gather enough for himself.

In the process, Lin Moyu also reaped a vast amount of heaven and earth fortune. Each time the Soulless Beast purified a royal pool, Lin Moyu received a massive surge of fortune more from one pool than the total of the previous ninety nine king level pools combined. He now had more fortune than anyone by far, making him confident in his next moves.

Two hundred years later, the Great Wilderness suddenly shook then the entire Origin Ancestral Land quaked as well.
