Chapter 3225

It seemed that all existing matter, whether visible and tangible or not, whether illusory or real,

belonged to the elements and could be governed by the elemental gem. He had used the elemental gem very few times himself.

He had only used it occasionally. As for the balance gem, its function was to maintain balance, capable of bringing all living beings within its range of coverage

to the same level. This gem made no distinction between ally and enemy, caring only for balance.

There were not many scenarios where it was applicable. The greatest help the scepter of calamity gave Lin Moyu was still just one action:

Smashing!

The scepter of calamity was hard enough to destroy anything.

From intangible souls to the Great Dao, it could smash everything.

Lin Moyu felt that he could even smash an entire Domain to pieces with the scepter of calamity. This time,

with four of the five gems on the scepter of calamity gathered, it finally showed a different effect as the four gems worked in synergy.

They actually saved a Domain that was on the verge of collapsing. Not only did they save it, but they also reconstructed it.

They even breathed new life into the Domain, laying the foundation for living beings to evolve once more. The previously shattered wanmiao stele transformed into various Great Daos.

Those secret techniques merged into the Great Daos and reappeared in the world. In a sense,

the heritages of several powerful sects in the Lingmiao Domain were not lost forever. Once living beings were born in the Domain again, they would have the opportunity to comprehend these secret techniques once more.

This was equivalent to reconstructing their orthodoxies. Currently, the ruins of those powerful sects still remained in the Ling Domain.

Latecomers might also have the chance to enter them and learn about the Domain's history. As the master of the scepter of calamity,

Lin Moyu witnessed this entire process with his own eyes. From collapse to Rebirth, every detail of the Domain fell into his gaze.

This was a rare harvest for Lin Moyu. Such an opportunity was extremely hard to come by, and he watched with great interest.

At the same time, he gained some new insights into how the soul gem brought life to the Domain, giving it the potential to nurture living beings.

This was exactly what he had been pursuing, and now he finally had a clue. Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed as a Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor rushed out from the Wanling Pavilion, roaring furiously.

It tried to break through the restrictions of the Wanling Pavilion. The Wanling Pavilion was an independent space, so the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor could not break out immediately.

It went on a wild rampage inside the Wanling Pavilion. Currently, there was no one else in the Wanling Pavilion besides Old Lu.

Old Lu did not show himself. He was no match for the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor, and showing his face would likely get him killed.

As the master of the scepter of calamity and the realm gem, with the Lingmiao Domain gaining Rebirth,

Lin Moyu had now effectively become the Lord of the Lingmiao Domain. He could use the realm gem to manipulate the Lingmiao Domain.

'I couldn't do anything to you before, but it's hard to say this time.' The power of the Domain moved according to his will.

It transformed into a giant hand and reached toward the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor. This particular Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor belonged to the Lingmiao Domain and had only survived until now because it was captured by the Wanling Pavilion as a test subject.

When the great war began back then, all the Soul-Devouring Spirits outside the Lingmiao Domain were completely wiped out.

Even the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperors were not spared. Having witnessed the reconstruction of the Domain,

Lin Moyu finally understood that the Soul-Devouring Spirits were not only a trial for the Transcendents within the Domain, but also the first line of defense against outsiders.

Furthermore, the Soul-Devouring Spirits served another purpose: they could conceal the Domain, preventing it from being easily discovered in the Chaos.

Lin Moyu's understanding of Domains had now reached a different level, allowing him to view things from different perspectives

and obtain more useful information. The giant hand formed by the power of the Domain firmly gripped the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor, rendering all its struggles futile.

Soul-Devouring Spirits were evolved from the power of the Domain. Facing the very power that birthed it, it naturally had no way to resist.

'What goes around comes around. Go back to where you came from,' Lin Moyu said softly.

The power of the Domain began to devour the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor. With the Domain newly reborn, the power of the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor was a great supplement for it.

It would be a waste to let it go. Since it came from the Domain, it should naturally return to the Domain now.

Realizing its impending doom, the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor struggled frantically, but to no avail.

The power of the Domain completely suppressed it, leaving it with no chance. Watching the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor being devoured and decomposed bit by bit,

Lin Moyu reflected on himself and realized a question.

Those Eternal Existences pursued the final step, but even if they took that step and broke through the limitations of heaven and earth to enter the Domain,

was that truly it? The Holy Spirit Realm experts of the Lingmiao Domain had actually all transcended and could enter the Chaos.

Yet they didn't. Was it really just because they were cowardly?

To enter the Chaos after transcending,

the final barrier was the Soul-Devouring Spirits formed by the power of the Domain. The stronger the Domain, the stronger the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor,

and the harder it would be to break through. Lin Moyu felt this deeply; that Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor outside the Five-World Domain

had nearly taken his life before they even met. Yet, there was a way.

He had originally thought that breaking through the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor required only immense power and a strong Dao Heart, but looking at it now, there was another path.

To become the Lord of the Realm and use the power of the Domain to deal with the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor. Breaking through the blockade to enter the Chaos would then be as natural as water flowing downstream,

presenting almost no difficulty at all. This was the correct path!

Lin Moyu suddenly saw the light.

The correct path was not for oneself to enter the Chaos, but to become the Lord of the Realm and drag the entire Domain into the Chaos.

As the saying goes, 'when one person attains the Dao, their entire world ascends with them.' This was the true path. Unfortunately,

most people did not understand this and took the wrong path, especially since cultivators of any Domain

were inherently selfish and would never consider this. The saying 'every man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost'

was practically engraved in the depths of every cultivator's soul. Even Lin Moyu was no exception; cultivators only cared about their own friends and family,

or at most, their own world and race, but never the entire Domain. Therefore,

the vast majority of cultivators would never realize this. Perhaps Venerable Wanmiao had occasionally gained some insights and realized this,

which was why he had never left the Lingmiao Domain, but instead tried to refine the Domain Core, hoping to become the Lord of the Realm one day.

Unfortunately, he failed, drawing powerful enemies at the final moment and dooming both himself and his Domain.

Perhaps this was also a tribulation; if you couldn't cross it, you died.

Within the chaos of heaven and earth, karma cycled, and tribulations were everywhere.

Cultivators went against heaven, so they were destined to bear these things. With greater power came greater responsibility; it was unavoidable.

Lost in his thoughts, Lin Moyu's Dao Heart became even more solid and indestructible.

The Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor screamed incessantly, growing weaker and weaker until its strength was less than half of what it was before.

Old Lu plucked up his courage and revealed his figure. 'Fellow Daoist Lin, is that you?'

Lin Moyu smiled and said,

'Old Lu, long time no see.'

Old Lu hurriedly replied,

'Long time no see. I didn't expect that when Fellow Daoist Lin came again,'

'you would already be this powerful.' Lin Moyu smiled and said,

'Old Lu, you flatter me.'

Let me deal with him first, and then I have something to discuss with you.' Old Lu gave an affirmative grunt.

'Alright, this old man shall wait.'

Chapter 4204: The Rule Administrator of the Lingmiao Domain

The administrator, Old Lu, did not know Lin Moyu's current identity.

However, he could roughly guess Lin Moyu's strength. To resolve the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor so easily, Lin Moyu's strength must already surpass that of the Wanling Pavilion's former Pavilion Master.

He witnessed the fall of the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor with his own eyes, watching it turn to dust and completely dissipate. Then, Lin Moyu's phantom appeared before Old Lu.

He got straight to the point. 'Old Lu, the Lingmiao Domain has been destroyed.

You knew that, right?' Old Lu sighed. 'I guessed some of it,

but I couldn't be sure. After all, I am only an item spirit within the Wanling Pavilion.' Lin Moyu said, 'The Lingmiao Domain was destroyed many years ago, and surviving until now was already not easy. Fortunately, there was an opportunity this time for the Lingmiao Domain to gain Rebirth.

By a stroke of luck, I have become the Lord of the Lingmiao Domain.' Old Lu's eyes shone slightly. 'If the Lingmiao Domain wants to restore itself to its former state,

how much time will it take?'

Lin Moyu said, 'It will take a long time.

At the fastest, tens of millions of years; at the slowest, billions of years.' 'So long!'

Even Old Lu, who had lived for countless years, couldn't help but sigh. This was indeed a long time. Lin Moyu said, 'I have a way to speed up the process. Perhaps in just a few thousand years, a portion of it can be restored, but I need your assistance.'

Old Lu said, 'Just give the word, and this old man will do his utmost to comply.'

Lin Moyu said, 'I will make you the rule administrator of the Domain, letting you govern the laws of heaven and earth within the Domain.

Then, I will also send some living beings into the Domain, directly skipping the slowest step. You can guide these living beings appropriately

so they can quickly master the path of cultivation within the Domain. At the same time, you can also change the layout of the Domain and patch up some loophole issues.

I will tell you the specific methods and grant you the authority. In the past, the Lingmiao Domain

did not have a rule administrator. If it had, the Lingmiao Domain might have been even stronger.

This time, since Lin Moyu had become the Lord of the Lingmiao Domain, he naturally had to appoint a rule administrator, and Old Lu was the most suitable candidate.

With a suitable rule administrator, he could act as a hands-off boss. When the time came, he could select some people from the Great Thousand World

who had not yet begun cultivating and send them into the Five-World Domain. In fact,

those chosen people wouldn't even know that their world had changed. There were many Small Thousand Worlds within the Great Thousand World, and quite a few of those Small Thousand Worlds didn't even have cultivators.

Lin Moyu bringing them over was equivalent to pointing them toward a broad and bright path. As the Domain gradually stabilized,

Lin Moyu shifted his thoughts and brought Old Lu into the Domain Core. By now, the Domain Core had mostly recovered.

The large shattered monument from before had also been restored, standing in the center of the square.

This large monument was called the boundary monument, and its purpose was to record everything that happened in the Domain. However, the boundary monument was now somewhat different.

Lin Moyu had merged the shattered wanmiao stele into it, making the boundary monument even more solid. At the same time, just like the wanmiao stele, the Domain

now carried a vast number of spells. After Old Lu arrived, Lin Moyu used the power of the Domain to extract Old Lu from his original road sign

and send him into the boundary monument. From then on, Old Lu would be the item spirit of the boundary monument.

He could also learn the spells recorded in the boundary monument. Lin Moyu exercised his authority as the Lord of the Realm to grant Old Lu the status of rule administrator.

'Alright, get accustomed to this place and familiarize yourself with the secret techniques and rules.

There is also a message from me in the monument that you can read. The Lingmiao Domain is very imperfect;

it has many loopholes at the Great Dao level. I have summarized them, and you can patch and repair these loopholes later.

I will soon send people into the Lingmiao Domain.' Old Lu repeatedly agreed, 'This old man will definitely go all out.'

His voice was tinged with excitement. As the item spirit of a mere road sign, Old Lu had never imagined he would have such a day.

An item spirit of an entire Domain! That was a status below only one person but above hundreds of millions. How could he not be excited?

Lin Moyu gently handed the Domain Core over to Old Lu and withdrew himself. The heaven and earth deformed and twisted before his eyes.

He took away the entire Lingmiao Domain, and it appeared at the edge of the Great Thousand World, becoming a neighbor to the Great Thousand World.

In terms of scale, the Great Thousand World was even more massive than the reborn Lingmiao Domain. The current Great Thousand World could already rival some weaker Domains.

But this was far from the limit of the Great Thousand World. Lin Moyu held great expectations for the Great Thousand World, and he manipulated it

to erupt with majestic power, bringing the Lingmiao Domain into his sphere of influence and using his own authority to connect them.

He then transferred five Small Thousand Worlds to the Lingmiao Domain. Combined, these five Small Thousand Worlds possessed a hundred billion living beings, and with their addition,

the Lingmiao Domain instantly became lively. Once Old Lu had completely adapted to the rules after some time, he would be able to make reasonable arrangements for these living beings.

In any case, Lin Moyu had already become a hands-off boss, not bothering with those overly detailed matters at all. Such an experience…
