Chapter 4088: Not of My Race, Ultimately Not the Same
This special filth pool had been restored to its original state, but the Sword Emperor was not satisfied. He plunged into the pool, using his own power to cut off the pool from the underground filth currents, then sealed the surface of the pool again. After checking several times and confirming that his seal had no flaws, only then did the Sword Emperor feel at ease.
The spirit flower dispersed, and An Yuyan's soul recovered somewhat. She was an Eternal, and while her soul was strong, healing injuries was also much more troublesome; a single spirit flower was clearly not enough.
An Yuyan bowed gracefully to Lin Moyu, "Many thanks, Daoist Lin, for your help."
Lin Moyu was not stingy and took out several more spirit flowers for An Yuyan. "Use these as well; they should be enough for you to recover. If not, come find me again." An Yuyan was not polite, smiling as she accepted them. "That guy escaped. Should we go hunt him down?"
The Sword Emperor immediately asked, "Daoist An, can you find his whereabouts?"
An Yuyan replied, "I planted a fruit on him; there is a causal connection between us. I can track him through cause and effect."
Lin Moyu could also use the Seeking Cause Ring to find the escaped Tun Yuan, but he had his own thoughts and did not want to search immediately. But he would not stop the Sword Emperor either.
The Sword Emperor said, "Then I'll trouble Daoist An."
An Yuyan looked at Lin Moyu, "What about you, Daoist Lin?"
Lin Moyu shook his head. "Tun Yuan is only a remnant soul now. Sword Emperor alone is enough. Burial Dao Valley has been devastated; I need to stay and restore it."
The Sword Emperor was puzzled, "What's there to restore?"
Lin Moyu said, "Six hundred and twenty one sages are buried here. Their heroic spirits are immortal, and the Great Dao Flowers should bloom eternally. As a junior, it's my duty to restore this place."
An Yuyan seemed to understand Lin Moyu's intentions and immediately supported him. "Daoist Lin is right. The Great Dao Lords here once contributed to this world. Although they made mistakes and paid with their lives, as juniors, we should remember their merits, not just their faults."
She thought for a moment, then took out a cause and effect treasure, condensed a mass of causal power into it, and handed it to the Sword Emperor. "You can activate this treasure; it will point the way. Sword Emperor, you'll be able to find him quickly."
The implication was clear: she didn't want to go either, so she gave the Sword Emperor a treasure and let him go alone.
The Sword Emperor, as a Spirit Demon, thought differently from Lin Moyu and the others; he could not understand Lin Moyu's thinking.
"If that's the case, I'll go myself. Once I've settled this, I'll come back for you, Daoist Lin. Then I'll trouble you to walk the Land of Severed Daos again." Lin Moyu nodded slightly, "Alright, I'll wait for your triumphant return, Sword Emperor."
The Sword Emperor activated the cause and effect treasure, received its guidance, and immediately flew off.
Looking at the devastated Burial Dao Valley, now almost razed to the ground, Lin Moyu sighed softly.
Under the Sword Emperor's fierce assault, Burial Dao Valley had been completely destroyed, nothing like it once was. The pool was sealed, but the Sword Emperor had not set up any protections. If a Great Dao Lord who didn't know the situation approached and triggered the seal, they could easily be killed by it. This showed the Sword Emperor truly didn't care about the lives of cultivators.
After the Sword Emperor left, An Yuyan smiled at Lin Moyu. "Looks like you have some opinions about him."
Lin Moyu shook his head. "Not really, but I don't like him."
An Yuyan said, "He's not of our race, so of course he doesn't consider such things when he acts."
Lin Moyu said, "That's normal, I suppose. I just can't get used to it, personal reasons. Senior, why didn't you want to go with him?"
An Yuyan squinted and smiled, "Because we're on the same side."
For a moment, An Yuyan seemed a bit mischievous, less serious than usual.
Lin Moyu was amused by her words. "True, we're on the same side."
As they spoke, Lin Moyu began to act. Countless undead servants flew out, one every ten meters or so, quickly occupying the entire area of Burial Dao Valley.
An Yuyan watched Lin Moyu. "Daoist Lin, how do you plan to restore Burial Dao Valley?"
Lin Moyu said, "Restoring the terrain is easy; the hard part is the Great Dao Flowers. I don't know if I can succeed, but I'll try."
The Great Dao Flowers contained the will of the sages. Once that dissipated, it would be very hard to restore.
An Yuyan extended her jade hand, and a fruit appeared in her palm.
She planted another fruit, softly chanting, "Then let An Yuyan plant a fruit of success for Daoist Lin."
Every time she planted a fruit, she had to bear the backlash of the Great Dao. Even as the Lord of the Cause and Effect Dao, An Yuyan could only reduce the backlash, not avoid it. Earlier, to kill Tun Yuan, she had planted a death fruit and was badly injured by the backlash. Normally, she would not plant fruits lightly, preferring other ways to influence cause and effect. But for Lin Moyu, she planted a fruit directly.
Lin Moyu felt a trace of gratitude. "Thank you, Daoist An."
An Yuyan smiled. "No need to be so polite between us."
The fruit of success dissipated in a gentle light. An Yuyan swayed slightly, her face turning pale she had clearly suffered backlash from the Great Dao. The backlash was unavoidable, but this time it was not as severe as before.
With An Yuyan's help, Lin Moyu's chances of success increased.
Tens of millions of undead servants simultaneously activated the Time Great Dao, moving in perfect unison, their auras synchronized as if they were one.
The Time Great Dao fused together, forming a great net that slowly enveloped the entire Burial Dao Valley.
"Time Reversal!"
Time belonging to Burial Dao Valley began to flow backward.
Events that had happened here began to reappear.
An Yuyan looked on nervously she knew how difficult time reversal was. This was not just looking back at what had happened, but actually pulling things from the river of time and bringing the past into reality. If nothing much had happened here, it would be easier, but if there had been a great battle, those events would replay. As the caster, Lin Moyu would have to bear all that cause and effect. The destruction caused by the battle would affect the caster.
An Yuyan instinctively thought Lin Moyu would have a hard time succeeding, but since he chose to do it, he must have some confidence.
Time reversal began, quickly reaching the point of the previous great battle. A massive backlash swept through, and many undead servants died instantly, unable to withstand it.
This was a battle at the Eternal level; it was normal for the undead to be unable to endure.
But although the undead died, their power did not cease. In the next instant, they revived, maintaining the time reversal. As long as all the tens of millions of undead didn't die at once, the reversal would not be interrupted. Moreover, Lin Moyu had countless undead ready to replace them at any time.
This was Lin Moyu's confidence.
An Yuyan was stunned by what she saw she hadn't expected Lin Moyu's methods to be so advanced.
When the moment in time appeared where Lin Moyu struck Tun Yuan to pieces, An Yuyan was startled again.
"So it was Daoist Lin who killed Tun Yuan."
At the time, she had been inside the spirit flower and didn't know what was happening outside. She'd thought the Sword Emperor had driven Tun Yuan away. She hadn't realized it was Lin Moyu's palm that truly defeated Tun Yuan.
That palm was indeed terrifying.
