They are not Great Venerables, yet they can rival Great Venerables, so they are called Quasi-Great Venerables.

The Chaos Desolate Ox is in roughly that state; it is not a Great Venerable but is comparable to one.

Whether they are Great Venerables or Quasi-Great Venerables, they are all incredibly powerful existences. It is shocking that they all died together and were buried here.

Chaos Child does not know the specific reasons for this, but he does know how to use these corpses to benefit Lin Moyu.

"Master, with your current cultivation realm and strength, you are not yet able to turn a Great Venerable into a Revenant. They will develop self-will and resist your techniques. Even with a Quasi-Great Venerable, it is likely very difficult to control them. However, I have a method that you might be able to try."

Lin Moyu asked, "Tell me about it."

Chaos Child said, "You can try to refine some Pure Water and use it to cast your techniques to turn them into Revenants. You should already know the function of Pure Water. If they develop self-will, you can use the Pure Water to erase it."

"However, you won't be able to refine much Pure Water right now, at most a thread or two. You can only try it on the weakest Quasi-Great Venerable. If you spend some time, it might just succeed."

Lin Moyu thought for a moment. "Your method is indeed feasible, but you haven't considered one problem: even if I succeed, can he attack within the chaos?"

"This is a Quasi-Great Venerable belonging to Chaos Child's inner world; it does not belong to this era, nor does it belong to this current chaotic world. If it attacks here, it will likely immediately attract the attention of the Dao, and the Dao will certainly move to erase it without asking who it is or where it came from."

Chaos Child fell into deep thought. He had indeed not considered this problem.

Little Tree said, "This guy's brain is very simple. He wouldn't consider such problems. Even if Master has a Quasi-Great Venerable as a Revenant, he cannot bring it into the chaos."

"It would be fine if we were in the Ancient Wilderness. The best scenario would be to draw the opponent into this guy's inner world, where he could attack without restraint. However, forcing someone into an inner world is beyond his current ability, so this method is not very useful."

"If you can't force people in, then you can only trick them into entering, but the Quasi-Great Venerable in the inner world cannot come out. Its utility is greatly reduced."

Chaos Child suddenly said, "I cannot force people in, but you can! Can't you just tie them up and throw them into my inner world?"

Little Tree looked at him as if he were an idiot. "If I can tie someone up, do I still need you?"

Chaos Child finally realized. "Oh, right. If you can tie them up, their strength must be inferior to yours. You don't need me."

Little Tree said, "So, the thing you're doing is useless."

Chaos Child vehemently denied it, "Impossible, impossible! How could what I'm doing be useless? There must be a mistake somewhere."

Lin Moyu laughed and said, "Perhaps your memory hasn't fully recovered, so you don't know why you want to do this. Don't worry. In the future, when your memory recovers, you will naturally know. For now, resurrecting and controlling a Quasi-Great Venerable is a very good idea. Even if it cannot come out to fight, it is at least a trump card. Moreover, we are in the Ancient Wilderness; if there is any danger, it might be able to save our lives."

When Chaos Child heard Lin Moyu say this, he immediately called out happily, "Exactly!"

Chapter 4389: If All Else Fails, Soak It

"Master is right, how could it be useless?" Little Tree said with disdain, "Refining Pure Water and controlling a Quasi-Great Venerable—who knows how many years that will take? By then, we might not even be in the Ancient Wilderness. It's still useless."

Chaos Child said, "You dare to say Master's words are useless? Do you want to rebel?"

Little Tree retorted unceremoniously, and the two went back and forth. The boat of friendship capsized just like that.

Chaos Child produced a drop of Pure Water and tried to let Lin Moyu refine it. Refining Pure Water was not easy.

Refining one drop required quite a bit of time, and this was only because Lin Moyu had enough sublimation counts, and the essence of his power had already changed.

Even if suppressed, the essence of his power was pure enough, without a trace of impurities. It vaguely matched the Pure Water.

Pure Water is water that has detached from the Water Dao; it exists independently of the Water Dao.

It faintly transcends the Water Dao while simultaneously repelling all Daos. In Lin Moyu's view, the Dao in the chaos belongs to the third level of power. Even for a Great Venerable, their power has not exceeded the third level.

Pure Water, however, has just crossed this threshold, but it has not reached the next level. Because of this, the effect of Pure Water is extraordinary, yet its uses are extremely limited.

Chaos Child also did not know why there was so much Pure Water in his inner world. He cursed his damned memory—why couldn't it recover?

Lin Moyu calculated that refining one drop of Pure Water would take about ten years. If he wanted to use Pure Water to suppress the self-will of a Quasi-Great Venerable, he would need at least a hundred drops, which would require a thousand years of time. It was indeed quite time-consuming.

Moreover, once he returned to the chaos, even if he had a Quasi-Great Venerable Revenant, it would be unable to attack. It would be almost the same as not having one. But regardless, Lin Moyu felt that having a trump card was always good.

After the treasure land was completely divided by Chaos Child and Little Tree, this independent space lost its support and began to gradually collapse.

The collapse was very slow and did not cause any fluctuations, just like smoke and dust gradually dissipating and merging back into the Ancient Wilderness world.

For the time being, Lin Moyu did not intend to leave the Ancient Wilderness. No matter what, he would refine the Pure Water first.

He would turn a Quasi-Great Venerable's corpse into a Revenant first. During this time, he would also go help Little Tree find the source soil to fuse into the chaos divine soil, and then go find the formation laid down by Great Venerable Tianzai.

Lin Moyu prioritized Little Tree's affairs. In his view, Little Tree was his own power, while Great Venerable Tianzai's formation had already been there for so many years; it didn't matter if he waited a little longer.

The due boat flew back into the vast Ancient Wilderness.

This independent void disappeared, and Lin Moyu saw the familiar Ancient Wilderness divine light again. This time, it was Little Tree's turn to guide the way.

Little Tree was much more reliable than Chaos Child; he directly searched for suitable Ancient Wilderness Paths and continuously approached the destination.

Back then, Little Tree was divided into six parts. Now, five of them had already fused together, leaving only the last portion of source soil. As long as he found the source soil and fused it back into the chaos divine soil, Little Tree would have the conditions to fully recover.

He now had a guess about Little Tree's former position. As the Chaos Ancestral Tree, Little Tree's power should have once reached the fourth level.

Perhaps it was not as good as the Dao that secretly ruled the entire chaos, but it would not be much weaker; at least it could be stronger than a Great Venerable.

He did not know what had happened back then to cause Little Tree and Chaos Child to become like this. All the secrets were hidden in their memories. To know the answer, he could only wait for their memories to recover.

The due boat entered and exited the Ancient Wilderness Path time and time again.

The Ancient Wilderness Path remained extremely dangerous, but fortunately, it was solid enough to withstand it.

The Ancient Wilderness was slightly better than the Ancient Wilderness Path; as long as a Full Circle expert was careful, there was basically no fatal danger.

In the twists and turns, over a hundred years passed, and he did not know how far he had flown.

Lin Moyu knew very clearly that facing the vast and boundless Ancient Wilderness, the distance he had flown was nothing. Even if he always used the Ancient Wilderness Path, wanting to fly from one end of the Ancient Wilderness to the other would probably take thousands of years. The distance he had traveled so far was not even one-tenth of the Ancient Wilderness.

Finally, after a hundred years, the due boat stopped in front of the entrance to an Ancient Wilderness Path. It was Little Tree who took the initiative to ask to stop.

Lin Moyu did not see any difference between this Ancient Wilderness Path and the ones they had passed before.

Little Tree whispered, "Master, we will arrive after passing through this Ancient Wilderness Path."

Lin Moyu said, "Is there anything different about this Ancient Wilderness Path?"

Little Tree said, "The end of this Ancient Wilderness Path is the source soil."

So many years had passed, and the source soil might have undergone some changes. Little Tree recounted the things that might happen based on the information he knew.

Back then, Little Tree was divided into six parts, three of which were Little Tree's main body. The other three parts were the chaos divine soil. The chaos divine soil was composed of desolate water, the chaos cauldron, and the source soil; none could be missing.

The source soil would evolve into an independent world, isolated from the Ancient Wilderness land. This point was very similar to Chaos Child's treasure land.

However, the world evolved from the source soil was more dangerous than Chaos Child's treasure land. The source soil had a dissolving characteristic, which could dissolve all Daos and all things.

At the same time, the source soil contained vigorous vitality and could nurture all things. It was the best fertile soil in the world. These were two extreme and opposing characteristics that existed simultaneously in the source soil.

This led to a situation: once a living being entered the space evolved from the source soil, it would be affected by the source soil.

Their own bodies would be slowly dissolved, and eventually, their souls would be annihilated, leaving no bones behind. However, because of the massive vitality contained in the source soil, it would also strengthen their life force, fusing with the vitality of the source soil.

Coupled with some flesh and will that had not been completely dissolved, they would eventually turn into strange creatures that no one knew the appearance of. These creatures often did not have complete intelligence, but they could possess extremely powerful vitality and combat power. Their strength was not weak, and some possessed territorial awareness and were aggressive.

So many years had passed, and he did not know how many powerful creatures had entered it. He also did not know how many powerful existences were buried in the world evolved from the source soil, or how many strange and terrifying creatures had evolved.

After listening to Little Tree's words, Lin Moyu asked, "Can the creatures evolved and nurtured by the source soil be controlled?"

Little Tree whispered, "They could be in the past, but not anymore. After I was separated back then, the source soil was completely severed from me, and I lost all contact with it. This time, I have to go in and re-refine and absorb it."

"It will also require a process." He was clearly somewhat worried and added, "And what I just said is not even the worst result."

Lin Moyu continued his words, "The worst result is that the source soil itself has given birth to a will."

Little Tree nodded his head. "Yes, once it has self-will, not only will it be unwilling to be absorbed and refined by me, but it might even try to refine me. But it is only one-sixth; the possibility of it wanting to refine me is not high. The most troublesome thing is those nurtured creatures. I don't know how many there are or how strong they are. Before entering, everything is an unknown, and it's hard to say."

Chaos Child interrupted from the side, "What is there to worry about? Isn't it just a piece of source soil? It's only one-sixth; are you still afraid of it? What can it nurture? Can that compare to Master? Besides, don't you still have me? My Pure Water can purify everything. If all else fails, I'll just soak it all in Pure Water. Whatever will it has, I'll erase it!"

Chaos Child boasted shamelessly, but he also spoke the truth—there was indeed no need to worry too much.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Chaos Child is right; we will meet force with force. There is nothing that cannot be solved. The source soil was originally yours; now you are just taking it back."
