Chapter 4081: First Transcend Power, Then Transcend Self
Just as Lin Moyu was about to speak, the Lord of Fate's expression shifted slightly. "Another chaotic lifeform is coming in."
Lin Moyu immediately fell silent and concealed his aura.
The two of them, hidden in the darkness, became as if nonexistent, quietly observing. The intervals between chaotic lifeforms entering were irregular sometimes several would arrive in succession, other times there would be a gap of a year or two. According to the Lord of Fate's observations, there was no discernible pattern.
This time, the chaotic lifeform was another giant bird, but this one had two wings and three heads, different from the previous one. It seemed even stronger, bringing with it a vast amount of chaotic energy. The bird didn't screech; instead, its sharp gaze scanned the surroundings, as if searching for something.
Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat he saw intelligence in the bird's eyes; this one was sentient. Its blade like gaze swept over where Lin Moyu and the Lord of Fate were hiding, and there was a peculiar power in its eyes that stirred a fighting impulse deep in Lin Moyu's soul.
At that moment, the Lord of Fate shook his head, signaling Lin Moyu not to act. Lin Moyu snapped out of it just a look from the bird could shake his Dao heart, which was truly frightening.
After only half a minute, a formation appeared and the world's power began to drive the bird out. The giant bird clearly didn't want to leave and resisted the formation, unleashing terrifying power from its three mouths, spewing torrents of chaotic energy. This energy turned into wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, but under the suppression of the world's power, it only affected a range of less than a hundred meters. In the end, the bird was still expelled, leaving behind only chaotic energy, which the world transformed into Great Dao origin energy.
The Lord of Fate breathed a sigh of relief. "This one has come many times seems very interested in this world."
Lin Moyu asked, "Are they all birds?"
The Lord of Fate replied, "Almost always, though occasionally there are other lifeforms."
Lin Moyu mused to himself, "It really does seem like our world is in a bird's nest."
The Lord of Fate continued, "If you have any thoughts, Lin Daoist, please share them."
Lin Moyu spoke: "I don't know exactly what your final step is, senior, but I do have some thoughts about the 'final step.' I believe that for anyone, the last step is to transcend to transcend oneself, transcend the Dao, transcend power. When the world first formed, before the Daos opened, everything originated from chaotic energy, which became Great Dao origin energy, and then evolved into the myriad Daos. So to transcend, one must step above this process, perhaps even go against the Daos themselves and comprehend the origin energy of the Daos. There are countless ways to comprehend Great Dao origin energy. Rather than just observing how origin energy transforms into Daos, why not study how to reverse the process how to turn Dao power back into origin energy? Chaotic energy is too difficult for now; it's better to focus on the relationship between the myriad Daos and origin energy."
As Lin Moyu spoke, the Lord of Fate's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a key point. He fell into deep thought Lin Moyu's words were simple yet profound. Instead of starting from the Daos or the self, he suggested starting from the level of power itself: first comprehend Great Dao origin energy, use that to transcend the Daos, and only then seek to transcend the self.
After a moment, the Lord of Fate let out a long sigh. "Hearing your words, I realize I truly have wasted all these years."
Lin Moyu smiled. "These are just my thoughts. If they help you, I'm glad. But the details are up to you; I can't do much more."
The Lord of Fate shook his head. "No, you've helped me tremendously pointed out a path. That's more valuable than anything. If I succeed, I'll take you as my teacher; this debt is beyond repaying."
With that, the Lord of Fate took out an object and handed it to Lin Moyu a strange egg filled with chaotic energy. Lin Moyu was surprised. "Is this a chaotic lifeform's egg?"
The Lord of Fate nodded. "Yes. About seven million years ago, a chaotic lifeform came here. When it was expelled, it resisted fiercely, but in the end, it still left. After it left, it left behind this egg. There's a chaotic lifeform inside, but in this world, it can never hatch. If you ever enter chaos, perhaps it can be born. You should bind it; it may be useful in the future."
As the Lord of Fate said, without chaotic energy, the egg couldn't hatch in this world. But Lin Moyu's Great Thousand World did have chaotic energy, so he could hatch it. Perhaps he was the only one in the world with that ability. He already had a little python peng from chaos, and now he had an egg as well. Even before attaining eternity, he was already entangled with chaotic lifeforms fate, perhaps.
Lin Moyu accepted the gift without fuss. "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony." He put the egg into the chaotic region of his Great Thousand World. As soon as it entered, the egg began absorbing chaotic energy like a starving child devouring food. At this rate, he really might gain another chaotic lifeform.
The Lord of Fate was in high spirits. "No need to be polite. I really have nothing else to give that's worthy of your guidance."
If the Lord of Fate succeeded, Lin Moyu's favor would be immense and hard to repay.
Lin Moyu replied, "No need to be so formal, senior. I may need your help in the future."
The Lord of Fate readily agreed, promising to do his utmost.
He then asked why Lin Moyu had come here. Lin Moyu explained about the events in Burial Dao Valley and his quest to find the Spirit Demon Emperor. Hearing this, the Lord of Fate handed Lin Moyu a bronze token. "Keep this token. I once dealt with a Spirit Demon Emperor who owes me a favor this may help you. In the Spirit Demons' territory, you'll need to be cautious; they're not easy to deal with."
Lin Moyu nodded and put away the token.
The two chatted for several more days, almost like a mini Dao debate, before Lin Moyu finally took his leave.
The Lord of Fate began cultivating anew, trying to comprehend the reversal of the Daos and how Dao power transforms back into origin energy, to achieve transcendence at the level of power. It was difficult, but at least now there was a clear path.
Lin Moyu set off on the second half of his journey. The Land of Severed Daos no longer seemed daunting. With his experience, he traveled faster and, after about another month, finally saw light the exit had arrived.
As he approached, a strange aura washed over him. It wasn't a cultivator's aura, but contained a unique Dao force, not from any of the myriad Daos, but seemingly belonging solely to the Spirit Demons.
"To possess a unique Dao just what are these Spirit Demons?" Lin Moyu wondered as he stepped out of the passage and officially entered the Spirit Demons' domain.
He heard faint sounds bugs crawling through the grass and saw a lush, endless forest and grassland, dotted with small hills. In the distance, spirit demons floated in the air, apparently patrolling. Suddenly, a sharp cry rang out, and countless spirit demons burst from the grassland and forest, surrounding Lin Moyu.
