Chapter 4009: The Connection Between Domains
In the end, Wan Zhongling began recounting some of the past events that had happened countless years ago. He believed that his own actions had doomed both the Myriad Spirits Pavilion and the entire domain.
Through the Spirit Nurturing Road, channels to other domains were repeatedly opened. Disciples of the Myriad Spirits Pavilion constantly sought out suitable worlds to nurture world spirits, and regardless of whether those worlds agreed, the disciples would forcibly bring them back to become their own. This behavior was no different from robbery, and in the process, they accumulated vast amounts of karmic debt.
But the disciples of the pavilion knew nothing of karma and didn't care. There were also powerful members who would capture large numbers of chaos beasts, placing suitable ones in the Battle Spirit Hall for disciples to use as training opponents. Every year, the number of chaos beasts that died in the pavilion was staggering, further adding to the karmic burden.
Perhaps the accumulated karma became too great, and one day it erupted. Once, the formation on the Spirit Nurturing Road opened a channel to the Suisheng Domain, a place teeming with powerful beasts even stronger than chaos beasts. These beasts were highly organized, like an army. The disciple who entered was killed instantly, and the beasts traced the connection back to the pavilion.
The formation in the Battle Spirit Hall wasn't made by the pavilion, so it couldn't be closed in time. Wan Zhongling happened to be in seclusion, and by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late he could only change the formation's coordinates, sending the invading beasts to the chaos outside the world.
A massive war broke out. The Myriad Spirits Pavilion fought back, but the beasts were too strong and the pavilion lost. All the factions in the domain joined the battle, resulting in a war that engulfed the entire domain. But in the end…
Wan Zhongling sighed, "We lost. The domain was nearly destroyed. But the beasts didn't fare well either our strongest stormed into their domain and caused havoc. In the end, we completely severed the connection between the domains, so they could never find us again."
Lin Moyu said, "So the beasts came from another domain. I thought they were chaos beasts."
Wan Zhongling shook his head. "Chaos beasts are strong, but they aren't organized. Most act alone, and even in groups, their numbers are small and manageable. In fact, the Soul Eater Emperor is even harder to deal with than chaos beasts."
Lin Moyu agreed a Soul Eater Emperor that can't be killed is indeed troublesome. He asked, "What realm does one need to be in to kill a Soul Eater Emperor?"
Wan Zhongling shook his head. "It's not a matter of realm. In terms of realm, the pavilion's hall masters were all stronger than the Soul Eater Emperor, but killing him is nearly impossible."
"You should know the origin of the Soul Eaters they are born from the impurities of a domain. The Soul Eater Emperor is the impurity of impurities, the essence of essence, reaching the extreme and triggering a reversal of the Great Dao, resulting in this strange being."
"In short, as long as the domain exists, the Soul Eater Emperor cannot die. To kill him, you'd have to destroy the entire domain."
No wonder Wan Xuanling could capture the Soul Eater Emperor but not kill him, and even tried to use him to control other Soul Eaters.
Lin Moyu asked, "What realm are you and the other hall masters?"
Wan Zhongling looked at Lin Moyu. "Realms have different names in different eras and domains. What do you call your current realm?"
Lin Moyu thought for a moment. "Let me show you." In front of Wan Zhongling, he released his origin aura. Since the pavilion master already knew everything he'd done, there was nothing to hide.
"I'm a Dao Lord now, then there's Great Dao Lord, then Eternal." He raised his aura step by step, demonstrating each realm he'd experienced. After reaching the Eternal level, he said, "To me, these three are all Dao Lord realms, just different stages low, middle, high."
"And then there's this realm…" Lin Moyu pushed his aura beyond Eternal, stepping into another realm. "I don't know what this is called, but in my domain, the world can't contain me and will expel me. But here, no one expels me only my body and soul can't withstand it." After three seconds, his body and soul collapsed, and he was reborn in purple light.
Wan Zhongling nodded. "What you call the Dao Lord realm, we call the Divine Spirit realm, with low, middle, and high stages matching your three Dao Lord levels."
Lin Moyu was correct: Great Dao Lord and Eternal are just stages of Dao Lord. Wan Zhongling continued, "As for the realm you reached at the end, we call it the Saint Spirit realm. But from your appearance, you haven't fully entered it just touched it with a secret art."
Lin Moyu nodded. "That's right." He wondered why Wan Zhongling didn't recognize his origin arts and instead called them secret arts. "Does this domain not have origin arts?" he thought, but didn't ask.
He now knew that what he called the next realm, Wan Zhongling called the Saint Spirit realm, though he didn't know its name in his own world.
Wan Zhongling said, "In our domain, the Saint Spirit realm is the highest. I am at the middle stage; the hall masters are at the early stage, and the Soul Eater Emperor is also at the early stage, just relatively weak."
"You said the domain can't contain the Saint Spirit realm. That's possible I've seen domains that can't. You'll have to find out why yourself; as a remnant soul, I can't help."
"But I believe you'll find the root of the problem and truly enter the Saint Spirit realm."
Lin Moyu said, "I'll look into it. I've obtained the complete Myriad Spirits Secret Art here and am half a successor to the pavilion. If possible, I'll pass on the art and revive the pavilion's legacy."
Wan Zhongling seemed to have been waiting for this and smiled broadly. "Thank you, little friend. Any other questions? As a remnant soul, this is all I can do."
Lin Moyu said, "I'd like to know the detailed uses of the Heaven Covering Stone, Immortal Jade, and Spirit Nurturing Wood."
Wan Zhongling answered in detail. The Heaven Covering Stone and Immortal Jade were indeed excellent items, only found in such special environments. Lin Moyu was curious why items from other domains could be used in his own, and why the gate was here was there a connection between the two domains?
