Chapter 4440: The Birth of Lin Moyu
Lin Moyu returned to the central region; the membrane barrier had been shattered, never to reappear he now judged boundaries by the pressure alone.
The West Pole Pure Land's ability to recover was even stronger than he'd guessed; streams of chaos divine water kept gushing from cracks, collecting into puddles in places.
So long as the pure land itself endured, chaos divine water would never run dry.
Little Tree eagerly began absorbing and devouring, "This time, the chaos divine water is better than before!"
Chaos Child also absorbed as he commented, "Yeah, last time had too many impurities now it's much purer."
Before, the chaos divine water had always been tainted with some obsession from the Divine Water Beast it was no longer pure. Now, with the beast gone, each new drop was pristine this was truly chaos divine water.
Its uses were many: for refining pills, forging, and comprehending the Dao.
Though the Pure Land had suffered, in the long run, it might be a blessing in disguise.
Such is the way of heaven good and ill ride together, never alone.
Lin Moyu's number of rebirths soared again, growing still faster.
Little Tree's aura also strengthened chaos divine water not only benefited him, but his chaos soil as well, strengthening him from the root.
With every drop absorbed, Lin Moyu's presence echoed wherever the water gathered.
He guided the flow, drawing ever closer to the grand array left by Catastrophe Supreme.
Though 'Dao's' earlier strike had been overwhelming, Lin Moyu believed Catastrophe Supreme's formation could withstand it at worst, it would be damaged, but not destroyed.
Having controlled several such arrays, Lin Moyu had come to understand their structure and depth.
He realized if 'Dao' hadn't descended, and if blowing up his own corpse didn't kill the beast, his last resort would have been to flee into the array to use it as a weapon.
Now, approaching the formation's location, he could sense it ever more clearly.
Dong!
A crisp sound echoed, vibrating directly to his soul. At the same moment, Lin Moyu felt the whole Pure Land quake.
"Hm?"
He looked ahead in surprise: a lake glowed red at its center, red light pulsating, the source of the sound.
Lin Moyu perceived a strand of vitality his Death Eye saw a soul flame floating within.
"Suck it dry!" he commanded.
Little Tree and Chaos Child rushed to drain the lake.
The moment Little Tree tried a sip, he exclaimed, "This lake isn't ordinary!"
Chaos Child shouted, "It's just too pure! Too pure to even be chaos divine water."
Little Tree added, "If the old water was chaos divine water, this must be the essence!"
Lin Moyu pressed for more, "Aside from purity, what else is different?"
Sensing deeply, Little Tree replied, "Beside incredible purity, there's a surge of vitality."
Chaos Child suddenly realized, "I get it! This is where chaos divine water beasts are born. Now that the beast is dead, the Pure Land is birthing new life."
The Divine Water Beast was once birthed here, but none since.
Once the beast died, the Pure Land could try again.
"What exactly is this Pure Land?" Lin Moyu wondered aloud. The ability to birth top level beings and host countless cultivators...and the Divine Water Beast once used its power to heal the land.
It was clearly far more than just a cultivation ground.
Neither Little Tree nor Chaos Child knew its true origins it had just always existed.
They drained the lake, revealing a pulsing heart within the red light.
Lin Moyu approached, stretched a hand through the glow, but paused his intuition and Death Eye raised no danger.
Confirming this, he laid his hand on the heart.
With a soft pop, the heart burst, releasing countless blood threads into his body.
Lin Moyu did nothing to resist he sensed the blood was harmless, perhaps even beneficial.
The eerie blood ran cold, forming icy blossoms on his skin; inside, it coursed through his body, then penetrated his soul.
His eyes shone with spirit.
After the initial chill, a deep comfort filled him.
Wherever the blood passed, his body's strength rose clearly; even his soul grew stronger, as if the fundamental transformation of rebirth itself was repeated.
His realm remained unchanged, but his power grew tremendously now, as a mere Minor Chaos cultivator, he matched or surpassed any Great Completion expert both body and soul.
As his strength grew, the range of his methods increased.
After all, the might of a spell is tied both to one's realm and to one's innate strength.
The same spell, in the hands of two equal realm cultivators, still varies because raw power is real, if elusive.
As the blood circulated, further chaos divine water continued to wash over him.
Its usual dissolving power seemed gone; instead, wave after wave of vitality poured in, forging his foundation anew.
More memories surfaced memories of the West Pole Pure Land itself:
He saw the Pure Land as a colossal, flawless jewel adrift in chaos.
Within, legions of chaos divine water flowed, and ten mighty beings arose from its depths.
The Divine Water Beast was born gifted, able to wield all chaos divine water strong in every way, yet in an age of monsters, merely average.
As the Pure Land's firstborn, it claimed the land as its domain.
Later, the land attempted to birth more life; each time, the water beast devoured any that appeared, growing ever stronger and unrivaled.
With its endless desire, it sought to dominate the Pure Land. Over years, it achieved much though never full control.
Then, a battle erupted the beast was wounded, his blood hid in the land, forcing the land to repair itself, tapping deep into its root in hopes of resurrection.
For eons, the Pure Land languished, unable to birth more life.
Only now, with the beast slain and its power returned, could the land truly heal and nurture again.
The heart in the glowing lake had been this new life but Lin Moyu had absorbed it before it formed.
Thus, the Pure Land had made him its new child.
