Chapter 4194: Shattered Glazed Glass
Lin Moyu certainly understood An Yuyan's meaning her words referred to the karma between them. It was precisely because of this unresolved karma that the two had reached this point. Though no promises had been spoken, some things didn't require them.
Lin Moyu slowly flew to the door, placed his hand upon it, and, activating his soul power, enveloped the door and took it away.
"Let's change places," he said.
Lin Moyu had no intention of opening the door here.
An Yuyan smiled, "Follow me, I know a good spot."
A soft light glimmered at her fingertip, leading the way as she flew off. In an instant, they crossed billions of miles, and An Yuyan stopped. The light intensified, the fog before them parted, and a world was revealed.
This world was already shattered, fragments everywhere, yet those fragments shimmered in dazzling hues, breathtakingly beautiful. The pieces had become crystalline, like the finest gems, refracting a rainbow of colors.
The source of these colors was the largely incomplete yin yang origin at the world's center.
An Yuyan explained, "I've traveled the realms for a million years and seen many worlds. This one was once burned by a Great Dao Lord with flames."
"The world was reduced to shards, everything scorched into glazed jewels, and it became beautiful in its ruin."
"I named this world Shattered Glaze and sealed it, making it my private garden."
"Sometimes, I visit to see its dazzling chaos a vivid contrast to the monotony beyond."
It truly was a beautiful world. Brilliant, fractured, yet lovely. Looking around, it was like a world sized kaleidoscope.
An Yuyan continued, "No one comes here; what do you think?"
Lin Moyu replied, "It's a great place let's use it."
They entered the world, and what they saw inside was even more striking than from outside. Yet beneath the beauty lay the death of countless living beings.
At the world's center, Lin Moyu set down the door, and with it, billions of undead servants appeared. The undead channeled all sorts of power into the door now that Lin Moyu's cultivation was higher, his undead were stronger too, and the power they could muster far surpassed before.
In an instant, the first ring on the door fully lit up.
The second ring soon began to hum at this rate, it would illuminate before long.
An Yuyan asked, "Daoist Lin, do you know what this door is called?"
Lin Moyu shook his head, "I'm not sure."
An Yuyan, curiosity in her gaze, said, "Countless people have entered over the years, but no one has ever known the door's true name."
Lin Moyu mused, "Maybe only when all ten rings are perfectly lit will its name be revealed."
He already knew what lay beyond the door: a shattered domain. Not merely a world, but an entire domain.
This domain had spawned many Transcendents. The Wanling Pavilion alone had several, not to mention more in other sects.
In that domain, becoming a Transcendent wasn't uncommon, yet Lin Moyu sensed their strength wasn't impressive.
The Wanling Pavilion's Transcendents might not necessarily be able to defeat the eternals of the Five Realms in direct battle.
It was simply that the domain itself was weak, so reaching transcendence was easier.
But still, a Transcendent is a Transcendent in domains lacking them, they hold absolute advantage.
That's how the Wanling Pavilion dominated for many years, taking over worlds, nurturing world spirits. But because they weren't strong enough, once they provoked a true power, their domain was swiftly crushed.
Lin Moyu guessed that someone like the Candle Dragon, upon becoming a Transcendent, could overrun the Wanling Pavilion's domain not just the sect, but the entire domain. Among Transcendents, there's a vast difference in strength, and numbers alone can't bridge the gap.
It was just like lighting up the rings on the door now even the first ring took less than a minute, and the second just ten minutes.
The third should take about an hour, massively faster than before.
This was the difference brought by power different levels, vastly different results.
After opening the third ring, Lin Moyu summoned more undead, whose power accelerated the process. There was no noticeable slowdown.
An Yuyan produced a tea table and brewed Lin Moyu tea; she was no longer some lofty eternal, but became a gentle companion at her husband's side. Lin Moyu drank tea, eyes gazing into the distance, deep in thought.
An Yuyan smiled, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Moyu replied, "An old fellow."
An Yuyan asked, "What old fellow?"
Lin Moyu said, "An old enemy of mine. When I get the chance, I'll definitely give him a lesson…"
An Yuyan responded, "With your power now, you can't already?"
Lin Moyu shook his head. "Not yet, but in time, I'll manage."
An Yuyan didn't press for details. She could sense Lin Moyu didn't wish to discuss it, and, being wise, knew when to drop the matter.
While they drank tea and chatted, An Yuyan reflected on her countless years of experience. Lin Moyu shared his experiences too, and An Yuyan realized that though Lin Moyu's cultivation time was short, his hardships rivaled her own.
Her path had been smooth, with some dangers, but nothing like Lin Moyu, who walked a perilous road where a single misstep spelled disaster.
Days later, the sixth ring lit up, and it was time to begin on the seventh.
Where once the seventh had taken immense time to light, now it was much easier.
Lin Moyu activated his Gathering technique, raising his power to half step transcendence. In this state, he could wield the World Ending Palm and control immense Dao origin.
But at the same time, the world's rules would try to expel him.
Lin Moyu quietly called, "Wuhun, help!"
His voice traveled through the domain's laws, and the Soulless Beast's shadow appeared in the void.
The Soulless Beast manipulated the rules, slowing the world's attempt to expel Lin Moyu, allowing him to maintain this state for a long time.
An Yuyan was stunned: "The Soulless Beast replaced the Candle Dragon?"
Lin Moyu answered, "Yes. After the Candle Dragon left, the world's rules became chaotic and needed a new manager. So I let the Soulless Beast take his place."
An Yuyan nodded, "That makes things much more convenient."
Lin Moyu smiled, channeling Dao origin into the door.
With his current level and the undead's help, the seventh ring was lighting up at an astonishing rate. At this pace, it would be fully lit within ten days.
An Yuyan's eyes sparkled; she knew how hard it was to light a ring. In the past, the Human Emperor and others spent a thousand, ten thousand years on this, yet for Lin Moyu, those millennia had become mere days.
The difference was beyond comparison in her eyes, Lin Moyu had turned decay into wonder, it was simply miraculous.
