Chapter 3969: Fishing for the Enemy
Staring at the drop of nearly perfect Great Dao origin qi before him, Lin Moyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't find the words to describe his feelings. Little Python, seeing the origin qi, seized the chance to flatter him: "Congratulations, Master, you finally fused perfect Great Dao origin qi!" It didn't notice Lin Moyu's odd expression at all.
After a moment, Lin Moyu took something out from his storage.
Little Python exclaimed, "So Master, you already had Great Dao origin qi?"
Lin Moyu shook his head with a wry smile. "This isn't Great Dao origin qi."
Little Python was puzzled. "Isn't it the same thing?"
Lin Moyu explained, "This is the Essence of Ancestral Water, a gift from a senior. I just didn't expect that Great Dao origin qi would be almost identical to it."
To be polite, he said "almost," but in reality, they were exactly the same. Both looked like water droplets and emitted nearly identical auras the differences were negligible.
After obtaining the Essence of Ancestral Water, Lin Moyu had rarely looked at it, eventually putting it aside. If he hadn't fused perfect Great Dao origin qi today, he might never have realized what it was. Back then, he was too weak to sense the Great Dao origin qi. Only now did he realize that the Essence of Ancestral Water radiated nothing but Great Dao origin qi. He'd spent over a thousand years painstakingly creating something he already possessed.
In fact, the Essence of Ancestral Water was even better its quality surpassed his own Great Dao origin qi, clearly crafted by someone of a much higher realm.
"If only I'd known sooner, I could have saved so much time," Lin Moyu sighed.
Both the Great Dao origin qi and the Essence of Ancestral Water contained all the Daos of heaven and earth. If the Essence of Ancestral Water was fused into the Great World, it could serve as a seed, allowing the world to develop a complete set of Daos. Yet Lin Moyu had been ignorant, using clumsy methods to trade for materials and evolve Daos.
He realized that anything given by such an existence would never be useless his oversight was the real mistake. He didn't know that the white robed elder had once appeared before the Discernment Beast and remarked that Lin Moyu carried a great treasure without realizing it. That treasure was the Essence of Ancestral Water. The elder had always known Lin Moyu would eventually create a Great World and had prepared the seed for him in advance. Unfortunately, Lin Moyu only realized this now.
"If the Essence of Ancestral Water is so useful, what about Ancestral Water itself?"
He realized that Ancestral Water was also extraordinary he had been using it merely to enhance spells, which was a waste. Ancestral Water also contained Great Dao power and could help the Great World evolve faster, likely as effective as Desolate Beasts. Such a good thing, and he'd forgotten all about it.
Lin Moyu smacked his forehead. "How could I be so foolish?"
Little Python stared at him, not knowing why Lin Moyu suddenly hit himself.
With a sigh, Lin Moyu said, "Forget it, let's just focus on collecting Great Dao origin qi."
Regret was useless there's no medicine for it, not even the Lord of Time could turn things back.
He began collecting large amounts of Great Dao origin qi. The bottles he'd made from Desolate Beast essence were all used up, so he dumped out the lower quality origin qi and replaced it with perfect grade qi. He filled bottle after bottle; after a hundred years, he'd filled over a thousand. By now, he'd been in the Soul Void for 1,500 years. The Origin Continent's will could sleep for at most 5,000 years likely less. He'd already used a third of that time, so he didn't have much left.
Clapping his hands and stretching, Lin Moyu said, "Alright, let's check on those strange wraiths. Time to head back."
Little Python asked, "Master, did you find their lair?"
Lin Moyu replied, "I have some clues. Let's go see."
Over the years, Lin Moyu had killed countless wraiths and sent undead servants to search. He'd finally made some discoveries. Although there were many wraiths, they couldn't be endless. In the first hundred years, they came frequently, but later the arrivals slowed and stabilized. This meant the wraiths in the Emperor's domain had been mostly cleared, and the new arrivals were coming from elsewhere. Lin Moyu deduced there must be a source, and he wanted to find it.
The undead tracked the direction the wraiths came from and pinpointed an area. After half a month's flight, Lin Moyu arrived. There were no wraiths here, nor any passage just empty, desolate void.
Lin Moyu used his Origin Secret Art to release a large amount of origin aura. He'd confirmed over the years that the wraiths were attracted by this aura. Sure enough, as soon as he released it, a hole appeared in the void, and a wraith crawled out, immediately attacking Lin Moyu only to be easily killed.
Lin Moyu locked onto the spot where the wraith had emerged and rushed over, summoning the Space Dao Lich. For anything space related, the Space Dao Lich was the expert. After inspecting the area, it confirmed, "The space here has been tampered with very thin, and seems to connect to ten distant places."
"Can you open the passage?" Lin Moyu asked.
The Space Dao Lich shook its head. "No, the one who did this is much stronger than me. Also, it's a one way passage things can come in, but not go out."
Lin Moyu examined the spot himself, but couldn't see anything. The Space Dao Lich drew a circle. "The passage is right here."
Lin Moyu used his Origin Secret Art to send origin aura into the circle. The Space Dao Lich's face changed. "Master, more wraiths are coming a lot of them."
Lin Moyu nodded and retreated far away. Seconds later, eight wraiths flew out of the passage, only to be met by Lin Moyu's Great Dao World Extinguishing Palm and World Burning Fire. The palm shattered space, but the special passage was unaffected. Lin Moyu tried several times and confirmed his suspicions. The Space Dao Lich searched the area and found only this one passage. Lin Moyu couldn't touch it, not even with the World Burning Fire it was untouchable.
Clearly, the Kunlun Emperor's methods were far beyond his own. Still, this didn't stop Lin Moyu from fishing for enemies he used his origin aura as bait, luring wraiths through the passage, killing and refining them for crystals.
