Chapter 3818: Dumbfounded
The outside world is full of countless uncertainties, with many things beyond one's control, but the soul world is one's own pure land.
Every cultivator's soul world is different and can be arranged as they wish; everyone has absolute control over their own soul world.
Lin Moyu was the same. His soul world was so complex that, as Antares put it, it was unlike anything he'd ever seen.
Of course, Lin Moyu thought Antares hadn't actually seen many soul worlds.
Yet, within his own pure land, there was always one mystery that Lin Moyu couldn't figure out: where exactly did the roots of the World Tree go?
The World Tree could continuously draw power from there; the origin spirit vein remnants Lin Moyu provided were just a bonus.
Even without those remnants, as long as enough time passed, the World Tree could slowly evolve and grow by drawing in power on its own.
Of course, his own cultivation realm needed to keep up, or he'd risk being left behind by the World Tree.
Unexpectedly, now that Chaoszi had awakened, it too went there to absorb power.
Lin Moyu came to the base of the World Tree. Its dense roots pierced through space, plunging into an unknown region. From the outside, nothing could be seen.
Lin Moyu tried to sense the flow of power. Since power could be drawn from another, unknown space, that space must contain immense energy perhaps something like origin spiritual energy, or something else, but definitely not weak.
Yet, standing at the roots, he couldn't sense any flow of power at all there wasn't the slightest leak of energy.
"Little Tree!" Lin Moyu called out in his soul world.
"Master, I'm here!" The World Tree immediately sent out an avatar, and Little Tree appeared before him.
Lin Moyu asked, "Where do your roots draw power from?"
Little Tree thought for a moment, then shook its head: "I don't know."
Lin Moyu pressed, "Then how did you extend your roots there?"
Little Tree shook its head again: "It's instinct. My instincts told me to extend my roots there. Oh, and just now, another guy went over he said his name is Chaoszi."
Lin Moyu nodded: "Yes, that's the former [Infinite Fusion] spell star. It's awakened its intelligence. How is it doing over there?"
Little Tree said, "It's right next to my roots."
Lin Moyu said, "Is there a way for me to go over and take a look?"
Little Tree thought for a bit: "I'll try to open a crack, but I'm not sure if Master can get through."
Little Tree's roots began to squirm, and a rumbling echoed in the soul world as space began to twist.
Clearly, opening a passage from the soul void to that unknown region wasn't easy. Little Tree struggled for quite a while before finally tearing open a crack.
As soon as the crack appeared, it began to rapidly close, but Little Tree kept struggling to hold it open.
After several attempts, a tiny crack finally formed.
Lin Moyu sensed an indescribable aura from the crack primal, wild, and extremely powerful.
Little Tree said, "Master, I can't hold this for long!"
Knowing Little Tree was doing its utmost, Lin Moyu immediately flew to the crack and sent a strand of soul into it.
Facing the unknown, he naturally wouldn't risk himself he only sent a wisp of soul, so even if something happened, his true body would be unharmed.
Once inside, he found a long tunnel behind the crack.
The World Tree's roots ran through the tunnel, and his soul followed them forward.
Inside, the space undulated rhythmically, almost as if it were breathing.
"This tunnel seems to be breathing!"
Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept through the tunnel, and Lin Moyu's soul wisp was silently annihilated.
"What kind of wind is this…"
Before his true body could react, a warning blared deep in his soul, but it was too late his soul body was also instantly annihilated.
"Ah!" Little Tree exclaimed in surprise as the crack snapped shut.
A flash of purple light, and Lin Moyu's soul was reborn anew.
Little Tree quickly asked, "Master, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Lin Moyu frowned at the roots.
That wind had been too strange silent, it erased his soul wisp, then targeted his true body and wiped out his soul as well.
He hadn't had time to react at all.
He thought splitting off a wisp of soul would guarantee safety, but clearly, that wasn't the case.
He replayed the experience over and over, but found nothing unusual.
Even the Beast Abyss wasn't this impenetrable.
And the annihilation wind in the Beast Abyss could be sensed, but this wind was even stranger and more terrifying.
Curiosity and frustration burned in his heart. "Little Tree, can we try again?"
Little Tree nodded: "Sure."
Unless it was truly impossible, Little Tree would never refuse Lin Moyu's request.
The roots vibrated again, opening another crack.
The crack kept repairing itself as Little Tree struggled to widen it, finally stabilizing.
Lin Moyu immediately sent another soul wisp through, entering the same tunnel as before.
This time, he didn't rush forward, but stopped soon after entering to observe carefully.
The tunnel wasn't still it pulsed and breathed.
Within it flowed a familiar power space-time energy.
It was the fusion of space and time, something Lin Moyu had used many times before he couldn't be mistaken.
This meant the tunnel likely connected to a different space-time.
Thus, the tunnel could be infinitely long or infinitely short even standing still, he might reach the end.
Space-time was constantly shifting, carrying him through different times and spaces.
"What kind of place is this?"
"How does Little Tree maintain itself across different space-times?"
"Does the World Tree have the ability to span different space-times?"
One question after another arose.
Suddenly, a breeze swept past, and Lin Moyu instantly severed the connection between his soul wisp and his true body.
Yet, his soul body was still annihilated.
Reborn in purple light, Lin Moyu sighed: "Dead again."
Even cutting off the connection immediately hadn't helped.
This wind was far more bizarre than he'd imagined.
After his death, the crack vanished again. The wind not only annihilated his soul, but also repaired the space-time crack Little Tree had made without harming Little Tree at all.
"Little Tree, do you know what that wind is?"
Lin Moyu tried to find answers from the World Tree.
Little Tree shook its head: "No idea."
"Is that wind common in that space?"
Little Tree nodded vigorously: "Lots of it, everywhere."
Suddenly, Lin Moyu slapped his forehead he realized he'd been foolish. Why try to see for himself when he could just ask?
"Little Tree, tell me about that space."
