The tablet belonged to Master Tianxu and carried his aura, while the Fifth Generation Palace Master was evolved and nurtured by Tianxu Palace.
His roots also lay with Master Tianxu; the aura on the tablet was as if he were seeing his own ancestor.
Naturally, he felt complex emotions, and the Fifth Generation Palace Master put the tablet away without waiting for Lin Moyu's consent.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you eventually went to the First Generation Tianxu Palace. Was there anything there?"
Lin Moyu replied, "The First Generation Tianxu Palace did not collapse, but there was nothing inside except for a statue."
The Fifth Generation Palace Master asked, "What kind of statue?" Lin Moyu replied, "It is the same statue as the one in the due boat. You should have seen it, right?" The Fifth Generation Palace Master nodded.
He had naturally seen the statue in the due boat, but he did not possess the scepter of calamity, nor did he know whom that statue represented.
"Did Fellow Daoist Lin see anything else?" He continued to press, clearly wanting to obtain more information.
Lin Moyu shook his head. "No, that is all. I wonder if it is of any help to you, Senior?"
The Fifth Generation Palace Master said, "It seems to be different from what I thought. Tianxu Palace appears generation after generation, and each generation wipes out the previous one. This fate cannot be changed."
"Perhaps the due boat is a glimmer of hope, but it has always been difficult to fully refine. Even refining just the central region is hard. To think that Fellow Daoist Lin could erase the mark I left in the due boat… It seems Fellow Daoist Lin has completely refined the central region, hasn't he?"
As he spoke, the Fifth Generation Palace Master's voice became increasingly deep, finally sounding like thunder, and his tone had changed. Hostility toward Lin Moyu had emerged; clearly, Lin Moyu had erased his soul from the due boat.
This made him extremely dissatisfied, as it meant Lin Moyu had become the sole operator of the due boat, and something that originally belonged to him had been snatched away.
Although the Fifth Generation Palace Master did not say it explicitly, he was no longer acting. Surging waves of immense power poured in from all directions, wrapping around the due boat and cutting off Lin Moyu's path of return.
Lin Moyu said, "Senior, you intend to retake the due boat, is that correct?"
The Fifth Generation Palace Master said, "Tell me the method to refine the due boat. Also, tell me what you heard and saw inside the due boat, and I can spare you. The due boat is somewhat special."
The Fifth Generation Palace Master could not fully refine it and could only leave a mark deep in the central region, which counted as being an operator.
Emperor Kunlun's strength was inferior to the Fifth Generation Palace Master's, and the mark he left was shallower, but he also became an operator.
At the time, the Fifth Generation Palace Master wanted to use Emperor Kunlun to travel across the entire Domain, so he tacitly allowed his existence, but Emperor Kunlun had obtained some information from the due boat.
This was something the Fifth Generation Palace Master did not know. He did not alert the enemy because of this, as he knew the information Emperor Kunlun obtained was only a small portion.
It was not until Lin Moyu appeared that the Fifth Generation Palace Master realized—he had never expected Lin Moyu to be able to fully refine the due boat, and that the refinement happened in another Tianxu Palace.
He had not sensed it at all and only knew about it when Lin Moyu returned.
He very much wanted to know how Lin Moyu had refined the due boat, and what exactly Lin Moyu had obtained inside it.
Lin Moyu asked, "Are you sure you want to make a move?"
The Fifth Generation Palace Master frowned slightly; he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Lin Moyu continued, "From the moment you met me, every ten sentences, one was false."
"Truth and lies mixed together… have you ever thought that I might also be lying?"
The Fifth Generation Palace Master shouted in a low voice, "What exactly did you see?"
Lin Moyu said, "Originally, I did not want to make a move. After all, a Senior once said that he wanted to kill the person and punish their heart."
"I even wanted to play along a bit more, but since you want to make a move on me for the sake of the due boat, you cannot blame me."
Hearing the three words "Master Tianxu," the Fifth Generation Palace Master was instantly agitated. At this moment, the tablet in his hand suddenly erupted with intense light. Powerful energy emanated from the tablet, sealing off all directions.
The Fifth Generation Palace Master's expression changed drastically. "What have you done?" At this moment, his connection with Tianxu Palace was severed, and he lost control over Tianxu Palace. At the same time, his connection with his main body was completely broken. He became a true Remnant Soul, a Remnant Soul without any reinforcements.
Such a thing was not something an ordinary person could achieve. Although the Fifth Generation Palace Master was only a Remnant Soul, he was, after all, in the Chaos Realm.
The tablet shone, and three words appeared on it: "Master Tianxu."
Lin Moyu now knew that this tablet was called the Chaos Domain Master Tablet. It was a tablet condensed by a powerhouse at the Chaos Realm Perfection using the power of their own Domain. The tablet could gather various great powers.
It was inherently an extremely powerful magical treasure and could also serve as a container for power. When evolving the Second Generation Tianxu Palace, Master Tianxu used this treasure as a guide to provide assistance to the Second Generation Palace Master. Originally, Master Tianxu wanted to see what kind of mischief the Fifth Generation Palace Master could cause.
He wanted to give him some hope and then extinguish it, to kill the person and punish their heart. However, Lin Moyu felt that a long delay would lead to trouble, so he ultimately decided to lure him and kill him. If the Fifth Generation Palace Master did not make a move, then Master Tianxu would play the game; if the Fifth Generation Palace Master made a move, then he would kill him.
However, that would only be killing his clone. As for his main body, that was Lin Moyu's business.
The voice of Master Tianxu came from the Chaos Domain Master Tablet. "You were nurtured by me, yet you developed selfish intentions and attempted to betray me. Today, I grant you death." A giant hand extended from the Chaos Domain Master Tablet and grabbed toward the Fifth Generation Palace Master. The powerful Fifth Generation Palace Master was like a young child facing the giant hand; he could not move. This was suppression at the source, and he had absolutely no power to resist.
Just as Master Tianxu had said, the Fifth Generation Palace Master was merely an ant in his eyes, one that could be destroyed with a flip of his hand. Giving this Chaos Domain Master Tablet to the Wushi Tianxu Palace was like giving them a life-and-death tablet; Master Tianxu could execute the Fifth Generation Palace Master at any time. Firmly grasped by Master Tianxu, the Fifth Generation Palace Master struggled desperately, but it was of no use. Gritting his teeth, the Fifth Generation Palace Master stared fixedly at Lin Moyu.
"If I die, my main body will sense it, and then the entire Domain will be buried with me."
Lin Moyu shook his head. "You clearly still do not understand the situation. You were nurtured by Senior Tianxu, so it is not you who will die, but only your consciousness. You will still be here; you will always be here, and you will be very obedient."
Upon hearing Lin Moyu's words, the Fifth Generation Palace Master's expression changed drastically. He understood the meaning behind Lin Moyu's words. There are many ways to kill; destroying both body and soul is just one of them. There is another method of killing, which is to erase the consciousness. It looks like the person is still alive, but in reality, they have long been replaced, and the previous self is dead.
The Fifth Generation Palace Master's main body was not here and was tied to the Domain; this was the Fifth Generation Palace Master's source of confidence. But this confidence was useless when facing Master Tianxu. Master Tianxu showed him with actions that an ant is an ant. The giant hand tightened, and the Fifth Generation Palace Master's Remnant Soul was squeezed and deformed.
"No!" Accompanied by a scream, the Fifth Generation Palace Master's Remnant Soul was crushed. The soul exploded, and the consciousness within it was completely annihilated. "Gather!" Master Tianxu shouted in a low voice. The scattered Remnant Soul gathered again and quickly reorganized, returning to its original state.
The Fifth Generation Palace Master's Remnant Soul recovered, but the restored Fifth Generation Palace Master was no longer the previous one. The Remnant Soul was the same, but the consciousness was already different. He prostrated himself before Master Tianxu, looking extremely respectful.
Master Tianxu said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Lin's words are my words. Do you understand?" The Fifth Generation Palace Master's Remnant Soul respectfully replied, "The Fifth Generation Palace Master understands."
Master Tianxu looked at Lin Moyu. "Fellow Daoist Lin, I leave him to you." Lin Moyu nodded. "Go well, Senior." Master Tianxu returned to the Chaos Domain Master Tablet. The tablet tore through the void and left. Lin Moyu looked at the Fifth Generation Palace Master's Remnant Soul. "Speak. What kind of relationship do you and your main body actually have?"
The Fifth Generation Palace Master's Remnant Soul respectfully replied, "Back then, in order to obtain freedom, I split my soul into two, becoming primary and secondary souls. The two souls were independent, each having its own self-consciousness, hoping to use this to deceive Tianxu Land."
Lin Moyu said, "And then? Go on." The Fifth Generation Palace Master continued, "At that time, there was a great war, and Tianxu Land was unstable. There were countless spatial rifts. Taking advantage of the spatial rifts caused during the great war, the primary soul and the physical body left Tianxu Land."
"I originally wanted to enter the Chaos, but I did not expect that the restrictions of Tianxu Land would still remain, making it impossible to enter the Chaos. The main body could only attach itself to the Domain, absorbing the luck of the Domain, refining Chaos Qi, and plotting other methods. Now, the main body has almost become one with the Domain."
"The Domain Core is filled with the thoughts of the main body everywhere. If the main body knows that Tianxu Palace has appeared, it will detonate the thoughts of the main body, causing the infinite living beings of the Domain to be buried together." Lin Moyu frowned. "Why be so radical?"
Master Tianxu could not leave Tianxu Land for the time being; even if he killed the Remnant Soul, it would be difficult to threaten the Fifth Generation Palace Master's main body. But why would the Fifth Generation Palace Master's main body want to drag the Domain to be buried with him at the slightest disagreement?
The Fifth Generation Palace Master's Remnant Soul explained, "I know that Master Tianxu has been waiting for something. This Domain is not perfect. But he did not take the initiative to destroy it, which also means that there is something he is waiting for in this Domain."
It seems the Fifth Generation Palace Master is indeed not stupid, to be able to think of this point, and even use it as a bargaining chip. Indeed, Master Tianxu was waiting, and it was right in this Domain.
But at that time, Master Tianxu had already fallen into a deep slumber; it was not Master Tianxu who wanted to destroy the Domain, but Green Robe. However, none of that matters now. By chance, the Fifth Generation Palace Master had indeed bet correctly. His main body was temporarily safe; no one would touch it. Master Tianxu could not move, and Green Robe would not move either. The Fifth Generation Palace Master's main body would eventually have to be dealt with by himself. Lin Moyu continued to ask:
