Chapter 4756: Get the Small World Out
He scattered countless soul motes throughout the Calamity Great Venerate's domain to search, and finally he found traces of the small world.
"It really was hidden deep."
Lin Moyu muttered softly, joy tinged with a hint of killing intent.
The Calamity Great Venerate wanted to use the small world to restrain him, so of course he would not kill Meng Anwen and the others.
On the contrary, he would make good use of Meng Anwen's group and might even help them cultivate.
After all, the timeline for his arrangements was extremely long, and even the Calamity Great Venerate could not be certain how much time it would ultimately take.
It might be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years.
Even if he could alter time to slow its flow, he still could not completely stop it.
If he did not help Meng Anwen and the others cultivate, they would never live that long.
Judging from the ancient battlefield ruins of the great world from back then, the Calamity Great Venerate had not only changed the time flow of the small world, but had indeed helped Meng Anwen and the others cultivate.
All the clues were more than enough for Lin Moyu to be certain that Meng Anwen and the rest were still alive and well.
The soul motes detected a strange fluctuation of time within the Calamity Great Venerate's domain.
Following the time fluctuations, they first found a world, and from within that world, they then located the small world.
The small world was hidden in another layer of time space.
The Calamity Great Venerate had used several great arrays to completely wrap the small world.
The time flow here was roughly one hundred times slower than normal.
For every ten thousand years in the outside world, only about a hundred years passed within the small world.
To maintain the small world in long term stability, he could not slow time to an extremely tiny fraction for ages on end, or the rules would collapse and the people inside would die.
A hundred fold difference in time flow was already the limit of what the Calamity Great Venerate could accomplish.
Furthermore, he had placed the small world inside a great world, using the Great Dao rules of that great world to continuously provide nourishment for the small world.
As a result, the small world was not completely independent.
At set intervals, it would connect to the great world, forming a stable passage for a period of time.
During that window, the living beings in the small world would clash with those in the great world, and wars would erupt because of this.
The benefit was that the small world was influenced by the great world, which strengthened its Great Dao rules.
The cultivation limit within the small world rose, allowing its inhabitants to reach higher realms.
After Lin Moyu used soul motes to see everything clearly, he had to admit that the Calamity Great Venerate's schemes were indeed meticulous.
The soul motes silently slipped into the small world and finally saw Meng Anwen.
No one knew how many years had passed in the small world, yet Meng Anwen's small courtyard had not changed much and was still the same as before.
In the courtyard, Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan were drinking tea.
Lin Moyu's soul also sensed Yan Kuangsheng's aura; all three of them were doing well.
Their cultivation was a bit higher than before and had already reached the Other Shore realm.
Although this realm seemed extremely weak in Lin Moyu's eyes, it was enough for them to live for a very long time.
In the past, Meng Anwen had not even reached the True God realm, and the Other Shore realm was something they had never even heard of.
Looking at them, memories from the past surged up, and Lin Moyu wanted to appear at once.
However, he knew that now was not the time.
This small world was under the Calamity Great Venerate's surveillance.
Any anomaly would be immediately discovered by him.
What needed to be done now was to find a way to get the small world out, and to do so without alerting the Calamity Great Venerate.
In the familiar courtyard, Bai Yiyuan put down his teacup.
"Old Meng, you keep saying there is a problem with this world.
Exactly where do you think the problem lies?"
Meng Anwen shook his head.
"It is just a feeling of mine.
Many years ago, I seem to have seen Xiaoyu."
Bai Yiyuan said, "You have been saying there is a problem ever since that time, but after so many years, you still have not found exactly what is wrong."
Meng Anwen replied, "Yes, I have never been able to find it, but I trust my own feeling."
Bai Yiyuan took up his cup and sipped again.
"Sometimes, you know, feelings are not necessarily right."
Meng Anwen shook his head.
"No, I still insist on my feeling.
There is something wrong with this world."
Bai Yiyuan sighed.
"I also do not know how Xiaoyu is doing now.
With Xiaoyu's talent and aptitude, he should be far stronger than a few old fellows like us."
"That is only natural.
If even we can reach our current level of achievement, then Xiaoyu can only be stronger than us."
Meng Anwen was very confident about this.
Bai Yiyuan said, "By the looks of it, the great war with the extraterritorial fiends will soon arrive again.
We should make our preparations as well.
If this world really does have a problem, it must be related to this matter."
"No one knows where these extraterritorial fiends come from.
We thought that once the demon race and dragon race were dealt with, this world would finally be at peace."
Meng Anwen said, "Digging too deeply into it is pointless.
We should prepare for the war instead."
Lin Moyu watched the two men's conversation from start to finish.
This confirmed his thoughts and was not much different from his earlier speculations; roughly speaking, it was exactly what he had expected.
There was no need to fuss over every detail of the process.
What mattered now was finding a way to bring the small world out.
He did not possess the Calamity Great Venerate's ability to manipulate time.
Even if he did, without Time Essence Stones in hand, he could not use the same method to take the small world away.
Moreover, the small world was currently wrapped in formations, and trying to remove it without a sound would be even harder than what the Calamity Great Venerate had done back then.
Lin Moyu pondered for a moment, then looked at the formations surrounding the small world and thought of an effective method.
"These formations restrict the small world, but they can also be used by me."
"The Calamity Great Venerate would never imagine that his formations would change hands…"
The soul motes flew into the formations.
They were so tiny that even the formations failed to notice them.
With Lin Moyu's current level in the Dao of Formations, the Calamity Great Venerate's arrays were nothing in his eyes.
Seizing control of these formations was an easy task for him.
To be on the safe side and completely conceal everything from the Calamity Great Venerate, Lin Moyu chose a more cautious method.
He first selected places where he wanted to inscribe runes, then guided the soul motes over to those chosen spots to engrave the runes.
In this way, he removed the process of runes flying through the air.
As soon as a rune was drawn, it would already be in its target location.
Although this approach was somewhat slower, it greatly reduced the chance of being discovered by the Calamity Great Venerate.
Right now, the Calamity Great Venerate was still fighting outside and likely could not spare any attention to what was happening within his domain.
Lin Moyu carefully altered the formations, spending half a day of time to make them change ownership.
At the same time, he used the original formations as a basis to set up a new formation.
This new formation was hidden within the existing arrays.
Even if the Calamity Great Venerate came to check personally, he might not necessarily be able to detect it.
The function of this formation was very simple: it opened a passage that allowed the rules of heaven and earth to merge in silently.
Lin Moyu intended to use the Nine Heavens Fate Technique to modify the rules of heaven and earth so that the small world could be quietly moved into the Realm of the Spirit God.
In addition, he also needed to create a projection of the small world to fake the appearance that it was still in place.
That way, the Calamity Great Venerate would not notice anything, and Lin Moyu's grand play could continue.
Outside, the battle still raged, and it was far from time for the curtain to fall.
While setting up the formation, Lin Moyu also kept an eye on the battle outside.
Jin Great Venerate, the Fate Venerate, and the Ancient Desolation Bull had joined forces against the Calamity Great Venerate and were already holding the advantage on the surface.
The Chaos Desolation Dragon was still rampaging, locked in a tangled struggle with "Dao," and that fight would not end in a short while, giving Lin Moyu plenty of time.
