It is just that being a little outrageous isn’t scary; it only makes people marvel. But when it becomes outrageous to a certain degree, that is terrifying.

Lin Moyu suddenly had a bad feeling, and a warning came from within his soul.

Danger was descending. A whistling sound reached his ears, as if a gale were striking; the due boat couldn't block the wind at all.

It was shattered to pieces in the wind, and then, countless phantoms appeared in his line of sight.

Lin Moyu swept his gaze over the surprised demons. He recognized these phantoms; they were all demons from the Small World, those demons he had long since annihilated.

"How could they appear here?" A dragon's roar rang out, and the dragons from the Small World also appeared.

Lillian and the Dragon Emperor appeared simultaneously, leading the armies of the demon and dragon races, charging toward him.

Cold wind stirred behind him. Lin Moyu turned his head and saw Antares.

Antares opened his mouth to spit Dragon Breath, his eyes filled with killing intent. "An illusion?" Lin Moyu closed his eyes, and his soul power surged out, transforming into a pair of giant palms that swept across.

He banished all the phantoms. When he opened his eyes again, everything before him was clear. As a faint light fell into his eyes, Lin Moyu discovered that the due boat had stopped in front of an ancient castle. He had seen this ancient castle before; it was once in the Great World.

When that Mysterious Garden appeared, he had entered that ancient castle. In the Great World, the ancient castle was an extremely mysterious existence.

Many things about it remain unexplained and unsolvable to this day. After studying it back then, he could only regard it as a piece of sealed history within the Great World. Later, as he learned more, he roughly deduced that the Mysterious Garden should be the result of a collision between the Great World and other worlds.

At that time, the Great World had been in the Domain Sea and had devoured many other worlds; that was the history belonging to the Great World. Later, he entered the Origin Continent.

He hadn't gone looking for the source again, but he hadn't expected it to appear again now. The figures from those Small Worlds, including Antares, were illusions, but the ancient castle before him was not an illusion.

The hongmeng gem said, "When emptiness reaches its limit, it becomes reality. It is the limit of emptiness and also the beginning of reality."

"This ancient castle exists in the deepest part of the Master's memory; it is a puzzle the Master has never solved."

"Clearly, the Master experienced quite a few things inside back then. Does the Master want to go take another look? Perhaps the puzzles that weren't solved before can be solved now."

Lin Moyu shook his head. "No, I'm not interested in these puzzles. I am who I am; my path has nothing to do with anyone else." As he spoke, Lin Moyu stepped outside the due boat.

He punched toward the ancient castle. For this punch, Lin Moyu used over ninety percent of his power. A giant fist appeared in the void, completely enveloping the ancient castle.

The giant fist swept through, and the ancient castle immediately collapsed by more than half. Alarm sounds blared; the ancient castle seemed to have been activated, instantly manifesting a large number of formations. Then, a black shadow flew out from the castle, clad in armor and holding a sharp sword, pointing at Lin Moyu.

"Audacious!" Behind him, a large army flew out and arrayed for battle. Then, a skeleton throne slowly rose into the air. A raging flame burned on the throne. A person sat on the throne, looking at Lin Moyu. "Lin Moyu, you dare to lay a hand on me?" A heavy voice rang out, and Lin Moyu's heart shook.

It was actually that Mysterious Master. "When emptiness reaches its limit, it becomes truth. I didn't expect the illusion here to actually outline that Mysterious Master as well." Lin Moyu did not take further action.

He looked at the illusion and thought to himself, "If you truly are that kind of existence, this illusion should shatter."

The World-Burning Fire given by the Mysterious Master was something even the Great Venerables could not wield. Lin Moyu had guessed the Mysterious Master's identity; if he wasn't mistaken, it should be Great Venerable Tianzai.

Great Venerable Tianzai had obtained the World-Burning Fire from somewhere unknown, but he couldn't wield it. Knowing the World-Burning Fire was extraordinary, he had added it into his own planned layout and given it to him.

However, Great Venerable Tianzai had now taken that step. Even if he hadn't truly succeeded, he had at least surpassed the Great Venerables.

Moreover, Great Venerable Tianzai had taken that step in the deepest part of the Ancient Wilderness; perhaps he was still nearby now. If someone created an illusion of him, under the rules of heaven and earth, it was highly likely that Great Venerable Tianzai would sense it. Soon, he felt a trace of will descend. The ancient castle before him seemed to bear an unimaginable force, appearing with numerous cracks.

"As expected, the Mysterious Master really is Great Venerable Tianzai. I wasn't wrong." Lin Moyu smiled, restrained his aura, and drove the hidden spirit bead to its limit.

The hongmeng gem shook its head. "Not enough!" It pointed its small hand, and the balance gem bloomed with a faint light. Lin Moyu's aura instantly vanished. The hongmeng gem used the power of the balance gem to balance Lin Moyu with the surrounding void, making their auras merge into one, achieving an effect similar to invisibility.

After that trace of will descended, the illusion before him rapidly shattered. Subsequently, that trace of will dispersed, turning into ripples that spread in all directions. The will swept over Lin Moyu but did not discover his existence.

Great Venerable Tianzai was also restricted here and could only descend with a trace of will; he could not truly see the situation here. Otherwise, with the hidden spirit bead almost ineffective, relying solely on the balance gem to hide his aura would not have been able to deceive Great Venerable Tianzai.

Even so, the fact that Great Venerable Tianzai could instantly descend here showed that within the Ancient Wilderness, Great Venerable Tianzai's power had already surpassed the Dao. Through this experience, Lin Moyu confirmed his thoughts: the Mysterious Master in the Great World was indeed Great Venerable Tianzai.

No matter where the World-Burning Fire was obtained from, Great Venerable Tianzai had ultimately handed it to him. Perhaps there were unknown reasons for this, which only Great Venerable Tianzai could know. The illusion shattered.

A mirror appeared before him. The mirror did not look illusory but rather truly existed. Lin Moyu knew it was the limit of emptiness, having transformed from emptiness to reality.

Its power had reached a limit; even Great Venerable Tianzai's will could only destroy its illusion but could not cause it harm. Just as Lin Moyu was about to make a move, his whole body suddenly stiffened.

He discovered he could not move. The mirror before him was shining; the mirror became incomparably huge, reflecting his image. The surrounding environment changed abruptly, and Lin Moyu discovered he had arrived in a strange void.

In the distance were twinkling stars, and each starlight made him feel danger. In the distance was still that mirror. Starlight shot out rays of light that landed on the mirror; the mirror surface shone, and its power was rapidly growing stronger.

The self inside the mirror was constantly changing. Lin Moyu felt the breath of time; the breath of time existed within the mirror. The mirror was using the power of time to search for his past, and his image in the mirror was changing.

It became younger and younger, smaller and smaller, changing from an adult to a child, then back to an adult, becoming another image—that was the image he had possessed when he transmigrated, existing in this world, in some Domain, in some world. This image became young again.

It returned to the childhood of that life before he transmigrated. Lin Moyu did not notice at all that his real-life image was also changing along with the mirror. At the same time, his own power was also changing, becoming extremely unstable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

At this moment, Lin Moyu could not move; he was locked by the mirror, and even his soul memories were changing along with it. When the image of his previous life appeared in the mirror, Lin Moyu's memories also returned to that previous life. If the mirror ended the illusion, his memories might be locked at that moment. However, the mirror clearly had limitations; it wasn't something that could be ended just because he wanted to.

Lin Moyu's soul was struggling, resisting the mirror. Deep within Lin Moyu's soul, a voice shouted, "You want to kill me? It's not that easy!"

In reality, the hongmeng gem was watching quietly from the side; he saw everything happening inside the mirror. Inside the scepter of calamity, the soul gem was already glowing; he could strike at any time. But he did not move; instead, he muttered to himself:

"This time is both a calamity and an opportunity. Master, I hope you can endure it. This is a tempering of the Dao Heart. If you endure it, the benefits for Lin Moyu will be unimaginable." So he did not intervene. Only if Lin Moyu truly couldn't hold on would he save him. The mirror was still exerting force.

"Since the previous life is not enough, then continue searching further back. The further it searches, the more ethereal Lin Moyu's memories will become, until the memories of this life completely disappear." Life after life, the image of Lin Moyu in the mirror kept changing. Various memories that had long since passed, experiences submerged in reincarnation, actually emerged bit by bit. He didn't know how many lives it had searched through, when suddenly, the image of Lin Moyu in the mirror changed.

An illusory figure whose face could not be seen appeared in the mirror. "How can this be!" The hongmeng gem let out a strange cry. His eyes were filled with disbelief. After that person appeared in the mirror, the mirror suddenly shattered.

With a bang, it exploded. Lin Moyu groaned and came back to his senses; his will returned. Most of the memories of the past dissipated at this moment, with almost nothing remaining. "What's going on!"

Lin Moyu did not realize what had happened. In his impression, this mirror had initially been searching for his past life, evoking his memories. Later, for some reason, it sent many memories he knew nothing about, using these memories to suppress his soul. He had been resisting, wanting to regain control, but had never succeeded until now. These inexplicable memories had all dissipated, and he couldn't remember a single thing. And the mirror before him had already shattered.

He had a strange expression on his face, not knowing what had happened. "hongmeng gem, what happened just now?" If he didn't know, he would ask the hongmeng gem. It must know. The hongmeng gem seemed to be in a daze; he asked once, but there was no reaction. It gave the feeling that it had fallen asleep again. Lin Moyu patted the scepter of calamity. "Speak, what happened just now?"

The hongmeng gem woke up with some panic. "Nothing, it just shattered." Lin Moyu said, "I know it shattered. What I want to ask is, why did it shatter?"

The hongmeng gem said, "It wasn't fully nurtured; although it transformed from emptiness to reality, it had flaws. Previously, someone used their will to break the illusion, amplifying the flaws. Now, it used its full power, and Master, you resisted it for a long time, so it couldn't hold on and shattered. Anyway, it's a good thing it shattered. Master is fine now. You can collect it; these are all good things." Lin Moyu whispered, "Is that really so?"

The hongmeng gem said, "Of course it's like that. I won't make a mistake. Hurry up and refine it, otherwise it will fly away." The shattered mirror was already flying into the distance. Lin Moyu waved his hand, the World-Burning Fire ignited, and he began to refine it.
