Chapter 4207: Don't Be Too Self Important
The abilities of the Causality Searching Ring went far beyond those Lin Moyu had previously used; it was only because his understanding of the Dao of Karma was insufficient that he could not delve deeper. Ever since he saw An Yuyan comprehend "effect without cause," Lin Moyu understood he could achieve a similar outcome by using the Causality Searching Ring. Of course, using this method would come at a great price it would be normal for him to die a few times in the process.
By establishing an effect through the Causality Searching Ring, he defied the effect of the hand of destiny and karma.
Bang!
The moment the ring glowed, Lin Moyu suffered backlash and exploded on the spot. This was different from An Yuyan: her "effect without cause" manifested the result first, then endured the backlash. For Lin Moyu, using the ring meant enduring the backlash first, then achieving the result.
He was shattered, reborn, and shattered again through the ring's activation and a burst of invisible power that blocked the descending karma. The karma of the Lord of Destiny's dormancy did not fall on Lin Moyu but was entirely blocked by the Causality Searching Ring.
The effect was planted no cause required, only the result.
Lin Moyu experienced three cycles of destruction and rebirth before stabilizing. "Effect without cause" was a heaven defying power: it could have easily put An Yuyan into dormancy, but for Lin Moyu, three rebirths were acceptable. Of course, this time the planted effect was simple; if it were more complex, it might take six, ten, or even more deaths to complete. The stronger the effect, the higher the price.
Lin Moyu put away the Causality Searching Ring and looked toward the Dao of Destiny.
The Lord of Destiny had successfully passed through the Dao of Destiny and entered Samsara; in as little as ten thousand years or as many as a hundred thousand, he would definitely return. By then he would regain his peak, surpassing eternity, but whether he could transcend would depend on his own choices.
After confirming the Lord of Destiny's situation, Lin Moyu looked at the Lord of Power and Old Yin head. The three locked eyes.
Lin Moyu knew they had something on their minds. "Gentlemen, what is it?"
The Lord of Power asked bluntly, "Where did Yuyan go?"
He had been longtime friends with An Yuyan, and naturally sensed her departure especially as she had recently been with Lin Moyu.
Old Yin head was more composed, narrowing his eyes and waiting for an answer. At this moment, An Yuyan's karmic Dao was in a strange state seemingly dormant but still fluctuating. From the Dao alone, it was clear she was not in danger but there was something unusual, though they could not say what.
Lin Moyu replied, "Yuyan is fine; she has left the world."
"You what?" the Lord of Power snapped, clearly not believing Lin Moyu.
Old Yin head was calm, asking, "Daoist Lin, please explain further."
Lin Moyu explained, "My elder sister took Yuyan away from the world. As for where, I do not know, but I can guarantee she is safe. I have never lied, though you may choose not to believe me."
He spoke firmly; at his level, Lin Moyu would never lie.
The Lord of Power looked as if he wanted to say more, but Old Yin head signaled for silence and spoke himself: "Daoist Lin, since you don't know where Yuyan went, how can you guarantee her safety?"
Lin Moyu answered, "I have my reasons. Moreover, Yuyan will likely soon transcend after leaving this world when that happens, you'll see a change in her Dao. You can pay attention then."
"Any other questions? If not, I'll be on my way."
Old Yin head asked one more question: "Since you say so, we believe you, but we are curious your sister is a transcendent. Have there been any other transcendents in this world besides Candle Dragon?"
"There are many secrets in this realm," Lin Moyu said. "You may have lived long, but there's much you don't know. There are things I can't explain to you, like this " With a thought, the Soulless Beast appeared in the Origin Land.
Both Old Yin head and the Lord of Power could see the Soulless Beast had replaced Candle Dragon as the new manager of the world's rules, but why this was so, they didn't understand.
The Soulless Beast bowed respectfully before Lin Moyu, calling out, "Master."
Their perspectives were once again shattered a manager of the world's rules, meant to stand aloft, bowed and called Lin Moyu master.
Lin Moyu remarked, "Though you two are Eternals, there's much in this world you don't know." The hint: don't be too self important; there is much you have yet to see.
Still, he gave them some face. "If you really want answers, wait until Yuyan returns and ask her. If you step out and transcend, you can seek her in chaos there's always a karmic link among those from the same world."
"With the Dao of Karma, Yuyan may even sense you and seek you out herself."
Old Yin head smiled awkwardly. "You jest, Daoist Lin. We're still far from transcendence."
Lin Moyu replied, "However far, it's possible if you're willing to go. That's all I'll say. Farewell." And with those words, he vanished from the Origin Land.
Some things they would have to realize for themselves he had said enough for today, and only bothered because they were longstanding friends of An Yuyan.
Since the fall of the wild beasts, the world's rules had changed. Dao Lords and others could now freely enter and exit the Origin Ancestral Land without restriction.
Lin Moyu returned, summoned Huo San, and traveled through the World Mists.
The experience with the Lord of Destiny had taught him something unusual something had changed beyond the realm. Someone had arrived.
When he had been healing the Lord of Destiny earlier, he'd felt a unique remaining power filled with chaotic attributes meaning it came from a being of chaos. This power was different from that of a transcendent cultivator and easily distinguishable. Chaotic beings' power was more primal and destructive.
Just from that, Lin Moyu could tell who it was not a cultivator hidden behind a divine rune within the core of the world, but a chaotic being. Cultivators would scheme and arrange; chaotic beings acted directly.
The presence of Soul Devourers hid the world's aura, making it hard for chaotic beings to discover the world. Even if they did, the Soul Devourers would block them.
"It must be that when Candle Dragon transcended, he caused enough of a stir that a chaotic being noticed the Five Realms. That's why, when the Lord of Destiny tried to transcend, he was attacked badly injured by that being, and the force remained behind to erupt only once he entered the Origin Land, proving the being was intelligent and not lacking in cunning.
"He not only wounded the Lord of Destiny, he tried to control him, to use him as a pawn to cause trouble in the world. To some chaotic beings, a world like this must seem like a supreme delicacy…"
