Chapter 3544
When all is said and done, the Lingtian Technique is simply about transforming oneself into a world furnace to absorb the power of another world.
After refining, it is integrated into one's own world, though this integration requires a great deal of skill and an understanding of the world.
Although they are all world powers, the power of different worlds differs greatly.
Deep within the power lie hidden rules; if one forces an integration, it might not seem problematic at first.
But as time passes and the power grows stronger, cracks will be exposed, just like in True Monarch Xunzhi's world.
He did not do it very well, so this world has many flaws, which is why when he later absorbed the power of the Seven-Wheel World…
…the fusion failed, and the power of the Seven-Wheel World went out of control, until it became impossible to manage. For others, this problem…
…is a very troublesome matter, but for himself, this problem is very easy to solve because he possesses the World-Burning Fire.
The World-Burning Fire can refine worlds; regardless of how different the world power is or what rules it contains…
…whether it is strong or weak, the World-Burning Fire can return it to its source, making it incomparably pure.
The Lingtian Technique coincides with the method he has been researching, and Lin Moyu has even improved upon the Lingtian Technique.
It has become more suitable for him. Now that everything is ready, all that is missing is a practical attempt, and Lin Moyu boldly decided to use the Yushen World to attempt it directly.
It just so happens that True Monarch Xunzhi has transformed into a soul bridge, connecting to a Seven-Wheel World. Such a rare opportunity must not be missed.
True Monarch Xunzhi said, "I hope Fellow Daoist Lin can succeed, and incidentally help this old man find release." Lin Moyu understood his thoughts.
Perhaps true death is the best outcome for him, and also the outcome he most hopes for now.
Emperor Pocang cautioned, "The Seven-Wheel World is different from the Six-Wheel World. Its world power is dozens or hundreds of times stronger, and there may be some unexpected things inside."
"Be careful in all things." Lin Moyu nodded, "Thank you, Senior. I will be careful."
True Monarch Xunzhi opened the spatial passage to the Seven-Wheel World. This spatial passage was somewhat peculiar, filled with powerful soul power.
Walking inside felt like treading on True Monarch Xunzhi's soul. Lin Moyu left the pocang crystal behind so the two old men could still chat.
Neither would be lonely. The soul bridge was very long and required some time to fly across. Lin Moyu transmitted his voice to ask the hongmeng gem,
"You have seen Seven-Wheel Worlds, right? Do they have any special characteristics?"
The hongmeng gem replied, "I have seen them. The most special aspect of the Seven-Wheel World is that its world power is extremely powerful, and its rules are strict."
"However, the living beings inside are not particularly strong. Those cultivators are heavily suppressed by the world rules, and every step forward is very difficult."
"It is precisely because of this that it is difficult for Supreme Experts to be born among them. However, logically speaking, once a Supreme Expert appears, that would be the strongest among Supreme Experts."
"They could even surpass Emperor Pocang." Lin Moyu said, "Then calculate what the Seven-Wheel World will become after the Great Destruction."
Although half of True Monarch Xunzhi's soul is in the Seven-Wheel World, he cannot perceive anything.
The soul merely formed a passage; the power within the Seven-Wheel World suppressed True Monarch Xunzhi's sensory ability. However, after so many years…
…his half-soul has not encountered danger. Clearly, it is still safe there, at least near the exit.
It is safe. After flying in the soul bridge for the better part of a day, Lin Moyu finally felt a different aura.
A vast, heavy aura that felt almost tangible passed through the soul bridge.
It struck his body. "What a dense world power!" Lin Moyu took a deep breath.
He felt that he had inhaled a majestic amount of world power. Within this world power was contained some kind of peculiar rule.
After flowing through his body for a while, it dispersed. The rules were broken and no longer systematic.
It seems this Seven-Wheel World remnant also suffered a devastating blow. Flying out of the exit, his vision was invaded by a blue world.
He stood in mid-air. A breeze blew against his face, and the sound of water reached his ears.
Whooshing sounds. An ocean. Lin Moyu looked into the distance.
He did not see any boundaries; beneath his feet was indeed an ocean. The ocean spread to the distance, and even with Lin Moyu's keen eyesight, he could not see the end. There are only two possibilities for this situation.
One is that the ocean is large enough; the second is that this world is not a plane and possesses a curvature.
He looked back; the spatial passage was right behind him, unchanged.
Beneath the passage, countless threads of soul power hung down, falling into the ocean. Lin Moyu followed the soul power threads and dove into the sea surface.
A massive squeezing force surged from all directions. The seawater contained a vast amount of world power.
Fused with broken rules, even a Quasi-Great Venerable here could potentially be crushed and injured by the seawater.
This feeling was somewhat like the Domain Sea. After descending for several hundred meters, Lin Moyu saw the seabed.
The soul threads also reached their end. Lin Moyu saw True Monarch Xunzhi's half-soul.
Chapter 4693: There are still living beings
The sea did not seem deep.
It was only a few hundred meters short. The seabed was not dark but emitted a faint green light.
It was even somewhat eerie; a green plant similar to seaweed covered the seabed.
Swaying slowly with the ocean currents, True Monarch Xunzhi's half-soul lay above the seabed.
The soul was already covered in seaweed, which meant he had been here for a very, very long time. When Lin Moyu saw his soul…
…his heart trembled slightly. How could this be? He noticed something unusual; the seaweed before him was not ordinary.
The seaweed not only grew on the surface of True Monarch Xunzhi's soul but also pierced into the interior of the soul. True Monarch Xunzhi's soul…
…was unable to return to his own world normally because of this seaweed. The seaweed grew in patches as if they were one, with one part connected to the seabed…
…and one part connected to his soul, completely trapping True Monarch Xunzhi's half-soul here.
Ultimately forming a soul bridge. Moreover, the half-soul trapped here, for some reason, had a relationship with the other half-soul in his own world…
…that was distant yet connected, causing True Monarch Xunzhi's soul to fall into a strange state.
He had lost control over his half-soul, yet this half-soul truly existed. Even if he wanted to self-destruct…
…this half-soul would not agree, and he could not even self-destruct. It was precisely because of this that True Monarch Xunzhi fell into despair and helplessness.
He hoped he could die; at least that would be better than this half-dead state. Lin Moyu felt a hint of vigilance.
He observed the seaweed carefully; he instinctively felt that these seaweeds were unusual.
If he was not careful, he might also be trapped. The hongmeng gem said, "These seaweeds release a peculiar substance; these substances can paralyze the soul."
"True Monarch Xunzhi's half-soul was paralyzed by this, and furthermore…"
"…these seaweeds have already deeply rooted themselves inside his soul. The two have merged into one and cannot be separated." What it said was not much different from what Lin Moyu saw.
Basically, that was the situation. Lin Moyu asked, "Can you tell what the origin of this seaweed is?"
If possible, Lin Moyu did not want True Monarch Xunzhi to die like this. If he could figure out the origin of the seaweed…
…perhaps there was still a way to save him. The hongmeng gem said, "This seaweed comes from the world power. If I am not mistaken, this world is a world of water."
"This place was once completely covered by an ocean." "No way," Lin Moyu instinctively could not believe the hongmeng gem's words.
How big was a world? Inside, there were countless Domains, and in each Domain, there were countless world continents.
If the entire world were covered by an ocean, how much water and sea would that be? The hongmeng gem said, "Master, you are mistaken."
"The scale of a world is often inversely related to its level. Generally speaking, the lower the world level…"
"…the larger its scale; conversely, the higher the level, the smaller the world, just like Master's Yushen World."
"I see it is much smaller than the Chaos Ancient Wilderness, but the essence of the Yushen World exceeds that of the Chaos Ancient Wilderness."
"This is a Seven-Wheel World. Originally, before it shattered, it was smaller than other worlds, and even more so after shattering."
Lin Moyu was surprised, "There is such a saying?" The hongmeng gem said, "Although it is not completely correct…"
"…most are like this, and exceptions are rare. Those Nine-Wheel Worlds are even smaller in scale than a single Domain in the Chaos Ancient Wilderness."
"It is also because they are too small and the base of living beings is insufficient, so the probability of birthing a Supreme Expert…"
"…is very, very low, until it is non-existent." Lin Moyu asked, "These seaweeds are transformed from world power."
"So, I am unable to eliminate these seaweeds?" The hongmeng gem nodded, "That is correct."
"These seaweeds are just what is seen on the surface; internally, they are actually residual world power. Moreover, these seaweeds have already penetrated deep into True Monarch Xunzhi's soul."
"The two can be completely regarded as one. If Master could refine this part of the seaweed, it would be equivalent to refining True Monarch Xunzhi's soul."
According to what the hongmeng gem said, in a word, True Monarch Xunzhi's half-soul…
…was beyond saving. Either it would continue to be trapped here, or it would be refined and destroyed.
There was no other possibility. True Monarch Xunzhi had requested him to help him find release.
Lin Moyu pondered slightly; he already knew what he had to do, but now was not the time; his own business was not yet finished. With a thought, a peculiar rune flew out.
It landed on the seabed, leaving behind a mark. With this mark, Lin Moyu would not be afraid of getting lost.
He could find this place at any time. He needed to find where the world core was; his purpose for this trip was to refine and absorb the world.
Therefore, he must find the world core. Regardless of the level of the world, it has a world core.
This point would not change. The hongmeng gem had already been searching, and as soon as Lin Moyu asked, it immediately pointed out the direction.
"Over there, but it is a bit strange there. Master, be careful. After all, it is a Seven-Wheel World, and with True Monarch Xunzhi's matter before our eyes…"
…how could he lower his guard? Heaven knows what dangers exist here. He flew in the direction pointed out by the hongmeng gem.
At the same time, he asked, "What is strange about it?" The hongmeng gem said, "After all, this is a Seven-Wheel World."
"When the Great Destruction arrived, although it shattered, the remaining world remnants…"
"…had a higher degree of integrity than worlds below the Seven-Wheel level. A sufficiently complete world remnant's world power can nurture living beings."
"Like those seaweeds, they are a type of special living being. If it has nurtured powerful living beings, it might pose a threat to Master."
Lin Moyu said, "You mean that there will be living beings near the world core?"
The hongmeng gem said, "I cannot be certain. Just looking over there, the power is abundant and strong, and there is a large amount of qi of heavens beginning."
"And it radiates vitality, so I suspect there are living beings." "I understand." Lin Moyu braced himself with full attention.
The Undying Eye was already activated, and at the same time, a large number of Undead Spirit Soldiers flew out, scattering in all directions.
Ever since the Spell Realm was formed, spells no longer relied on world rules. Even in other worlds, Lin Moyu could still use all his spells.
The Undying Great Dao was somewhat affected here, with more than half of its power suppressed. The combat power of the Undead Spirit Soldiers…
…was also similarly affected, less than 50% of what it was in the Chaos Ancient Wilderness. However, this restriction was not important.
Lin Moyu had never intended for them to fight; their greatest use now was to scout the path.
The Seven-Wheel World was not large. Lin Moyu only used half a day to approach the location of the world core.
Along the way, Lin Moyu did not discover any living beings, but he felt the changes in the seawater.
The seawater was becoming viscous; the closer to the world core, the more so it became. The color of the seawater was also deepening.
Now it had become deep blue, and if it continued, it might turn black. When he was still a million miles away from the world core…
…Lin Moyu stopped. The seawater ahead was as thick as a swamp. At the same time, the Undying Eye…
…saw a Soul Fire, floating freely in the center of the swamp-like seawater.
"There really are living beings." Lin Moyu was considering whether to take a detour to avoid it when suddenly, a huge force attacked from all directions.
His body tightened; the power surging from the seawater turned into a cage. Then, his body was struck heavily and blasted away like a cannonball.
Chapter 4694: Rule Creature
The attack came very suddenly. The moment Lin Moyu saw the Soul Fire, the attack arrived simultaneously.
Lin Moyu flew backward uncontrollably, crashing heavily onto the seabed. The seabed was softer than he had imagined.
The moment he touched the seabed, a warning came from Lin Moyu's soul. At the same time, Lin Moyu felt as if there were countless hands…
…firmly gripping him and spreading into his body. It was the seaweed.
The seaweed invaded his body in an instant, not just his physical body, but his Soul World as well.
His Soul World was protected by the qi of heavens beginning, so it blocked the seaweed, but it looked like it could not hold for long.
Lin Moyu wanted to detach from his physical body, but it seemed uncontrollable; his power was significantly weakened. The seaweed possessed an extremely eerie power.
