After a brief teleportation, Lin Moyu arrived on a plaza.
This plaza was very large and circular.
The plaza was covered in cracks; clearly, a great battle had taken place here.
In the air above, shattered thrones drifted about chaotically, though they did not leave the confines of the plaza.
It seemed an invisible force within the plaza bound them.
Lin Moyu saw many fine threads of rules, most of which had already snapped.
A small portion remained barely intact, and it was precisely these threads of rules that constrained the broken thrones, allowing them to float in mid-air.
At the same time, it kept them from leaving the plaza.
This was a very high-end method, directly utilizing the heaven and earth rules within the Domain.
It was more high-end than using a Rune Array—not necessarily in terms of effectiveness, but because utilizing rules points directly to the foundation of the Domain.
It would be impossible for anyone other than a Transcendent to do this.
Clearly, the person who created this plaza was a Transcendent.
Unfortunately, this plaza had now been destroyed.
The Domain had collapsed along with it, so the rules within the Domain naturally could not remain intact.
Nine thrones…
If he guessed correctly, one of them should belong to Wanling Pavilion, and the other thrones should belong to sects and forces of the same level as Wanling Pavilion.
In other words, there were at least nine sect forces in this Domain that possessed Transcendents.
He quickly found the one belonging to Wanling Pavilion among the nine broken thrones.
Although the throne was shattered, its exquisite details could still be seen.
From this, Lin Moyu could be certain that his analysis was likely correct; even if not entirely right, it was at least eighty or ninety percent accurate.
Opening the gate to different degrees resulted in arriving at different areas.
By opening the gate with nine rings, one could see the wanmiao stele.
Then, by comprehending the corresponding techniques from the wanmiao stele, one could enter the area of the corresponding sect force.
For a Domain that had already collapsed to still have this sort of thing, in Lin Moyu's view, was truly superfluous.
Now, having opened the gate in a perfect state and arrived at this plaza, it also meant that this plaza once held an extraordinary status within the Domain.
Lin Moyu flew slowly, his gaze sweeping across the entire plaza.
Subsequently, he saw something: half of a large stele lay on the ground.
The stele should have been a hundred meters tall, but now, most of it had crumbled, leaving less than half.
The material used for the stele was very special.
It was a type of precious material, not ordinary stone.
This large stele was made of the exact same material as the wanmiao stele.
The wanmiao stele was used to record various secret techniques, and this large stele must also be used to record something.
He connected his soul power to the large stele.
The large stele, which had been dormant for who knew how many years, was activated, and a vast amount of information surged forth.
"Hurry, leave!"
"Bastards, what you are doing will doom the Domain!"
"Get lost. We are going to rush into the chaos and become a Chaos Domain!"
"Quick, throw that thing away. Hurry!"
Lin Moyu's vision blurred, and he saw a series of strange scenes.
These scenes were not continuous and were somewhat fragmented; at the same time, he heard many voices.
These voices came from countless people, all telling different things, making it extremely chaotic.
Lin Moyu recorded all this information, receiving it all regardless of how chaotic it was, and then organized it systematically.
With his current cultivation, no matter how chaotic the information was, he could organize it clearly given enough time.
He knew very well that the reason for this was that the large stele had been damaged.
The information recorded inside had become chaotic, and a large amount was lost.
He could only try to piece together what happened here from this fragmented and chaotic information.
Fortunately, the amount of information recorded on the large stele was immense and extremely detailed.
Lin Moyu could deduce it bit by bit to arrive at the correct answer.
Outside the gate, powerful existences appeared one after another.
Among them were Dao Lords from nearby worlds and some Lords of the Great Dao.
However, they all retreated very far away.
Here, they were merely supporting characters; the true protagonists were a few Eternal Existences.
They were puppets of the Undead Lord.
So, it turned out this gate was opened by the Undead Lord.
"It's opened so wide."
"Human Emperor, look at how far this gate has opened," a few Eternal Existences looked toward the Human Emperor.
Among them, the Human Emperor had once opened this gate with nine rings, so he had the most say.
The Human Emperor said, "This is the second time the Undead Lord has opened the gate. Last time he already opened it with nine rings; this time it is ten rings."
"Perfect state." A few people couldn't help but exclaim.
Opening the gate in a perfect state—they knew deep down how difficult that was.
The Human Emperor said, "Now this gate has been opened perfectly."
"Do any of you have any interest in going in to take a look?"
His tone carried a hint of teasing.
As expected, just as he had anticipated, the few Eternal Existences refused on the spot.
Just kidding, the one who opened the gate was Lin Moyu.
Even if there were any opportunities, they should belong to Lin Moyu.
If they went in, they would be snatching opportunities from Lin Moyu, and if things went wrong, they might even offend him.
They weren't fools.
Wasn't it better to live well? Why provoke such a guy?
That was a freak who could shatter even the Curse Great Dao and slaughter Eternal Existences; not provoking him was the best choice.
The Human Emperor said, "Since that's the case, let us wait here for a while. I am quite interested in what Fellow Daoist Lin will gain inside."
Finally, Lin Moyu had finished receiving all the information from the large stele and had performed a preliminary organization.
From this information, Lin Moyu learned part of the history.
This Domain was named Lingmiao.
It contained nine major forces at the Transcendent level, and Wanling Pavilion was one of them.
There were as many as twenty Transcendents in the entire Domain.
It looked very powerful, but it was strange.
Even though Lingmiao Domain clearly had so many Transcendents, they had never thought of bringing their forces into the chaos, leaving the Domain, and becoming a Chaos force from then on.
There were many benefits to entering the chaos and becoming a Chaos force; at the very least, cultivation would no longer be restricted by the rules of the Domain, and the Great Dao comprehended and the power cultivated would come directly from the chaos.
The innate level would be much higher.
Although the large stele didn't say why this was the case, he could roughly guess it: because they were not strong enough, and there was danger in the chaos.
They dared not go.
This also confirmed Lin Moyu's initial judgment: the Transcendents in Lingmiao Domain were not stronger than the Eternal Existences of the Five-World Domain, and Lingmiao Domain was also inferior to the Five-World Domain.
Because Lingmiao Domain was weak, the upper limit was too low, which was why so many Transcendents were born.
And precisely because of this, these Transcendents dared not enter the chaos, and even after transcending, they still tried to find ways to hole up here.
In the information from the large stele, there was some information about their disputes.
Some wanted to turn the entire Domain into a Chaos Domain, while others disagreed.
Afterward, it seemed someone had obtained an object, which had attracted a powerful enemy.
Chapter 4199: Lingmiao Domain Core.
It was a pity that the most crucial information was gone.
Lin Moyu could only rely on the information obtained in Wanling Pavilion to cross-reference it.
Lin Moyu stood motionless in the plaza, while his Undead Servants flew in all directions to find a way out for him.
He delved deeper into organizing the information about Lingmiao Domain, cross-referencing this harvest with the information previously obtained in Wanling Pavilion.
The information obtained in this way could be more complete.
According to what Wan Zongling, the Holy Spirit Realm powerhouse who disliked calling himself Pavilion Master, had said before, the reason for the Domain's destruction was that when Wanling Pavilion was searching for worlds, it provoked an extremely powerful Domain.
The powerhouses from that Domain killed their way over and destroyed Wanling Pavilion along with the entire Lingmiao Domain.
However, looking at the information harvested now, it didn't seem that simple.
Lin Moyu believed that Wanling Pavilion had indeed provoked a powerful existence back then, but that was not the main reason for the destruction of Lingmiao Domain.
What Wanling Pavilion did should have only been the catalyst.
Something else must have happened afterward to cause such a result.
Lingmiao Domain at least had twenty Holy Spirit Realm existences.
Holy Spirit Realm meant Transcendents; if they were truly outmatched, they could have completely escaped into the chaos.
But the powerhouses in Lingmiao Domain seemed to have all died.
No one escaped.
Was it that they didn't want to escape, or that they couldn't escape?
This was a question.
Lingmiao Domain was destroyed; why did it appear here again?
Wanmiao Gate was clearly refined later.
When Lingmiao Domain was at its peak, no one would think of refining a Wanmiao Gate.
Layer after layer of fog was cleared away, and Lin Moyu had his own views on the collapse of Lingmiao Domain.
He was eighty percent certain that the true reason for the collapse of Lingmiao Domain was not the Domain that Wanling Pavilion had provoked.
Rather, it was something that was discovered later.
Behind the Domain that Wanling Pavilion had provoked, there was a more terrifying existence.
He personally destroyed Lingmiao Domain.
However, Lingmiao Domain did not completely perish; it eventually escaped.
It escaped.
This also meant that the object had not been obtained by the other party and was still within Lingmiao Domain.
What could that object be!
Lin Moyu felt interest in that object.
What kind of thing could attract a powerhouse of that level?
At the final moment, when Lingmiao Domain had clearly been battered and broken, how did it escape?
Wanmiao Gate should have been refined at the final moment; how was it refined?
All of this was very strange.
With Lin Moyu's experience, he really couldn't figure it out.
In the end, he could only place all possibilities on that object.
Everything should be related to that object.
The Undead Servants finally made a discovery.
After leaving the plaza, they encountered spatial turbulence.
The void outside the plaza had already been shattered, and everywhere here was chaotic, broken space.
The Undead Servants entered the chaotic and broken space, continuously teleporting and shuttling through it.
After teleporting time and again without knowing the direction, they finally discovered a few relatively stable spaces.
Relying on the connection with the Undead Servants, Lin Moyu quickly locked onto the location.
The distance was not far, about three million li.
It was just that the void between him and the Undead Servants was broken and chaotic.
If Lin Moyu went there himself, he would be teleported to other places by the broken void.
The Great Thousand World projection immediately unfolded.
Lin Moyu intended to use the Great Dao of Space within the Great Thousand World to teleport there directly.
Space immediately trembled, and the edge of the plaza collapsed with a roar.
This Domain was already dead.
It could no longer withstand the impact of the Great Thousand World projection.
One after another, Great Daos emerged from within the Domain, and these Great Daos were all shattered.
Only some remnants remained, struggling on the edge of destruction.
From the Great Daos, Lin Moyu faintly sensed the core of Lingmiao Domain.
The core was also failing and could collapse at any time; it could not withstand any more stimulation.
Putting away the Great Thousand World projection, Lingmiao Domain gradually stabilized.
The Great Thousand World projection wouldn't work, so forcing his way through the void would certainly not work either.
After this incident, Lin Moyu realized where he was located.
This plaza and the surrounding void were precisely the core of Lingmiao Domain.
Lingmiao Domain was different from the Five-World Domain.
Its Domain Core did not have any Divine Talismans or Rune Arrays, but rather a plaza.
It was truly miraculous.
The Domain Core was actually like this.
It was also Lin Moyu's first time seeing the core of another Domain, and he felt curious.
He crouched down, reached out to touch the ground, and felt the plaza.
Gradually, he discovered something strange: this plaza actually possessed vitality.
It had its own pulse, and every time it would emit a not-insignificant amount of power, just like a heartbeat.
It was maintaining life; even though it was shattered and this heart beat very weakly, it had still been beating time and again for countless years, keeping Lingmiao Domain from completely collapsing.
And at this moment, Lingmiao Domain had become a vegetable; apart from the heart still beating, it had no consciousness.
The moment the heart stopped beating, Lingmiao Domain would completely collapse.
Lin Moyu spread his consciousness throughout the plaza.
His consciousness was incomparably gentle, not stimulating the already extremely fragile core of Lingmiao Domain.
Very quickly, his consciousness rapidly enveloped the entire plaza and spread outward.
The shattered and chaotic void outside the plaza was precisely the manifestation of the severe damage to the Domain Core.
Lin Moyu's consciousness similarly shuttled through these shattered voids, gradually spreading into the distance.
He saw one relatively stable space after another.
Subsequently, his consciousness left the Domain Core and headed toward other places in Lingmiao Domain.
This was an entire Domain.
