They soon reached the end of the spatial passage, which opened into a void.

Countless origins floated within, bringing light to the void.

These origins included Yin Origins and Yang Origins.

Lin Moyu realized he seemed to have been here before; when he first entered the Origin Ancestral Land, the first place he arrived at was a pitch-black void.

It was there that he obtained the Yin-Yang Origin, which eventually led to the creation of his Great Thousand World.

His path of cultivation had taken a very important step here.

He hadn't expected this to be the dwelling of the Candle Dragon.

Of course, it wasn't the exact place he had been to before, but it belonged to the same void, though there was actually a significant distance between them.

Lin Moyu examined his surroundings.

Yin Origins and Yang Origins were numerous, filling the void like stars in the sky.

There were not only origins but also living beings.

These beings were all born from these origins; some were nurtured by a single origin, while others were nurtured by multiple.

The amounts of origin varied, and their attributes were diverse and unbalanced.

This resulted in the bizarre shapes of the creatures born here—they were of all kinds.

In Lin Moyu's view, this was just a mess.

However, it also showed that the Candle Dragon was quite invested in the matter of nurturing life.

He usually conducted his experiments here.

Most importantly, there were no rules here.

The Candle Dragon seemed to have used his own methods to shield the rules, preventing them from affecting this place.

He was using his own way to study the origin of life, but he clearly hadn't gained much.

Therefore, when he learned that Lin Moyu wanted to study the origin of life, the Candle Dragon was very shocked and even wanted to advise Lin Moyu not to waste his effort.

"Master, there is something strange ahead," the Soulless Beast said, radiating a terrifying aura.

None of the creatures here dared to approach, and many were prostrating in the void, showing their respect for the Soulless Beast.

Passing through the sky full of origins, they arrived at the place the Soulless Beast had mentioned, where Lin Moyu saw a giant stone.

This giant stone was about a kilometer in diameter, square, with six sides.

It was a standard cube; this was an innate origin treasure material.

Lin Moyu was startled; to be able to obtain such a huge piece of innate origin treasure material was truly rare.

But upon second thought, he realized something was wrong; this innate origin treasure material of the Candle Dragon's was not obtained, but created by him.

As for what he used to create it, it was those origin creatures; he kept origin creatures in captivity.

Besides studying the origin of life, he was also refining these origin creatures to use them to create innate origin treasure material.

Origin creatures came from individual origins and possessed innate attributes themselves, so once refined by the Candle Dragon, it was not impossible to forge innate origin treasure material.

Lin Moyu's attention fell on this square innate origin treasure material; engraved on it were formations.

These formations were exactly the ones found in the Domain Core.

Lin Moyu said, "The Candle Dragon used the innate origin treasure material to engrave formations. He wanted to replicate the formations inside the Domain Core."

The Soulless Beast was puzzled. "But why would he do that?"

Lin Moyu pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly. "Only he himself knows the specific reason. But he wouldn't do meaningless things. Speaking of which, you are his successor. You can think about what the use of doing this might be."

The Soulless Beast tilted its head and thought for a long time, but didn't come up with anything.

Lin Moyu had a rough guess; the Candle Dragon certainly wouldn't do anything meaningless, so there must be a reason for him doing this.

Examining the innate origin treasure material over and over, he saw an identical formation engraved on each side, six in total.

Suddenly, Lin Moyu noticed some differences in one of the formations; in the center of this formation was a tiny dot.

Magnifying this dot, it turned out to be a vortex; so, he knew of the vortex's existence.

Lin Moyu realized he had been wrong; the Candle Dragon knew of the vortex's existence, and not only that, he had also studied the vortex.

"Indeed, one cannot underestimate anyone," Lin Moyu chuckled self-deprecatingly.

By engraving the formation here, he was studying how to get rid of the vortex, but he had clearly failed.

The vortexes still existed, and the Candle Dragon's attainments in formations were still a bit inferior to his own.

He couldn't refine these Divine Talisman formations without disturbing the vortexes; Lin Moyu was very clear about this.

When it came to formations, reaching the limit relied on talent; it wasn't something you could learn just by working hard.

No matter how hard you worked or how much time you piled into it, if you didn't have enough talent, you simply couldn't understand it.

If that weren't the case, those cultivators who had lived for tens of thousands of years would all be formation masters.

He wondered if he had discovered that phantom.

This time, Lin Moyu did not make any rash assertions; he realized that the Candle Dragon still had many hidden secrets unknown to others.

The Soulless Beast led Lin Moyu to continue flying deeper into the void.

Soon, a mountain range appeared in their line of sight, with dragon-shaped markings on it, clearly pressed out by the Candle Dragon coiling there for many years.

A beam of light shot from the Soulless Beast's eyes, enveloping the mountain range, which lit up and projected a phantom of the Candle Dragon.

"You've finally come!"

Chapter 4191: Ghost Husband

Lin Moyu was slightly stunned; the Candle Dragon had actually left a message for him here.

What exactly was he trying to do?

Lin Moyu smiled calmly and asked, "How did you know I would come here?"

The Candle Dragon's phantom said, "After I leave, it won't be long before the Domain world falls into chaos. The Great Dao you shattered before is the root cause. You will inevitably go to resolve it. I guessed that you would definitely have your own people take my place, and naturally, they would be able to find my residence. Given your curiosity, nine times out of ten, you would come."

As expected of an old fellow who had lived for countless years.

The phrase "it won't be long" in his mouth meant hundreds or even thousands of years.

To such a fellow, time seemed to have lost its meaning; time was just a number.

In the blink of an eye, thousands or tens of thousands of years would pass; perhaps a single plan of his was calculated in millions of years.

Lin Moyu would not be like this; time was very important to him.

Lin Moyu asked, "You left a trace of divine sense; is there something you want to tell me?"

The Candle Dragon's phantom said, "Some things cannot be said explicitly, so I left what I wanted to say here. See for yourself."

The Candle Dragon shimmered with a faint light, enveloping the entire mountain range.

He had inhabited this unknown mountain range for countless years, and it had long been permeated with his aura.

Even if the mountain range had been ordinary, over so many years, it had undergone a qualitative change, becoming a powerful treasure.

The mountain range gradually shrank in the faint light, finally condensing into a piece the size of a fist.

At this moment, the divine sense left by the Candle Dragon had already been mostly consumed; condensing the mountain range had used up a lot of his power, and the Candle Dragon's voice was weaker than before.

"Although this Dragon Stone cannot be considered a very powerful magic treasure, it contains some secrets of this Domain. Everything I want to tell you is inside. See for yourself. Some words cannot be said explicitly, cannot be spoken aloud, and cannot flow into the void; they can only be transmitted in this way."

Lin Moyu understood the logic behind this.

He took the Dragon Stone into his hands; it was extremely heavy, as if it carried the entire mountain range within it.

This mountain range had indeed undergone a qualitative change; according to Lin Moyu's feeling, the weight of this Dragon Stone had already reached the level of a normal world.

Using it to smash someone was equivalent to smashing them with an entire world; just this point alone made it a rare and powerful magic treasure.

Communicating with the Dragon Stone with his soul, a piece of information was immediately transmitted.

The Candle Dragon's divine sense chuckled and then gradually disappeared.

His task was completed, and it was time to leave; the Candle Dragon wiped away the last trace of himself in the Five-World Domain.

From then on, the Candle Dragon had no more connection with the Five-World Domain.

Lin Moyu realized that he had indeed underestimated the Candle Dragon.

How could a fellow who had lived for so many years have such a shallow understanding of the entire Domain?

Although he had never entered the Domain Core with his true body, his soul had entered many times; he had long discovered the vortexes hidden behind the Divine Talismans, and he even knew about that phantom.

The Candle Dragon had observed them in secret for countless years and had obtained a lot of useful information.

These vortexes had already silently connected almost all the Divine Talismans and had permeated some rules.

If he had spoken directly, he might have been sensed by them.

And that phantom was even more so; it directly permeated the Domain Core.

It was extremely powerful and alert; even if it was just a trace of divine sense, the Candle Dragon dared not provoke it.

The Candle Dragon had been researching for so many years but hadn't gained much; his talent for formations was still a bit lacking.

Moreover, he could not refine Divine Talismans like Lin Moyu, so he had no way to expel those vortexes; the existence behind the vortexes was something the Candle Dragon dared not provoke.

Finally, the Candle Dragon provided a piece of information that surprised even Lin Moyu.

That phantom had once moved and had spoken some words; from the content of their conversation, the Candle Dragon judged that the master behind the vortexes wanted the world's fortune, while the phantom, besides the world's fortune, seemed to want something else.

Both sides had reached an agreement, each taking what they needed, plotting against the Five-World Domain together.

However, that was something that happened a long, long time ago.

Since then, the phantom had never moved again, nor had it made any sound.

The Candle Dragon knew the other party was powerful and could only monitor from afar; he dared not get close at all.

Back then, the Candle Dragon had once heard a voice coming from the vortex, calling that phantom "Ghost Husband."

Ghost Husband.

Lin Moyu finished reading the information left by the Candle Dragon, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Isn't Ghost Husband that guy who was imprisoned by the old man in the Green Robe?

Could it be that Ghost Husband originally wanted to plot against the Five-World Domain, but his main body was imprisoned by the old man in the Green Robe, so the divine sense left here had had no movement for countless years?

This way, it seemed to make sense; otherwise, after so many years, it was impossible for there to be no action.

From the beginning of the Domain's evolution, Ghost Husband had already been here.

If he really wanted to plot something, he should have acted long ago; if it really was that Ghost Husband, only this explanation made sense.

As for the guy behind the vortexes, the Candle Dragon never mentioned him again; he seemed to have hidden himself.

The only purpose of the vortexes' existence was to absorb the world's fortune; what they absorbed was not much, but they couldn't withstand the accumulation over the years.

Added together, the absorbed world's fortune was quite considerable.

Lin Moyu summarized it: first, he had to deal with the vortexes; the master behind them might appear or might not, but he had to be prepared.

Then there was Ghost Husband's divine sense; although Ghost Husband's main body was trapped, his divine sense still existed and was still powerful.

Being able to exist in the Domain Core for so many years, it had also absorbed quite a bit of power; he had to be careful with this kind of enemy as well.

Neither of the two fellows was easy to deal with, and Lin Moyu did not have much confidence.

He could only take it one step at a time, but judging from their actions, both of them were just ordinary Transcendents.

At least they had not reached the level of a Domain Lord; if they already had a Domain of their own, they would not covet the world's fortune of other Domains.

Putting away the Dragon Stone, Lin Moyu said to the Soulless Beast, "This used to be the place where the Candle Dragon lived."

"You can stay here. If you don't want to stay, you can also change to another place."

"There are many Origin Ancestral Lands, and the Domain is vast; you can be wherever you want."

The Soulless Beast thought for a moment. "Master, I want to be by your side."

Lin Moyu said, "That's fine. You must manage the rules in the Domain world well. Do not let any trouble arise."

He was now the manager of the Domain rules and had many things to do.

He was very busy; being by his side when not busy was a good thing; it would make it much more convenient for him to enter and exit the Domain Core.

He took a tour around the Candle Dragon's home and found nothing else; the Candle Dragon seemed to have no hobbies.

In his life, he only did a few fixed things; his life, in Lin Moyu's view, was too boring—no wind, no waves, and no meaning.

Lin Moyu felt that the experiments the Candle Dragon did were even more foolish and meaningless.

However, he couldn't waste the many origins he had brought here; a pair of Yin-Yang Origins could nurture a world.

There were thousands of Yin-Yang Origins here, all brought here by the Candle Dragon using his authority; if these Yin-Yang Origins were released…
