Chapter 4793: Lin Moyu Attains the Dao
Enlightenment arrived.
Just as Lin Moyu was about to give up, he finally understood through a sudden enlightenment what the Void of the Flesh truly was.
He finally realized he had always been searching in the wrong direction.
It was not that he was stupid, but that his direction had been mistaken.
If one drives a carriage south while wanting to go north, how could one ever find the destination?
The Void of the Flesh had been at his side all along; there was never any need to go search for it elsewhere.
The soul had void and substance, and now his soul already had void and substance united, nearing perfection.
The Void of the Flesh was the soul.
The soul contained both void and substance throughout its entirety, and at the same time, it was the very Void of the Flesh.
"Spirit and flesh as one, with the Immortality Great Dao as the root undying and indestructible, existing for all eternity!"
With his low shout, heaven and earth roared together.
A gray and white interwoven Great Dao crashed down from above.
The Immortality Great Dao Lin Moyu's life bound Great Dao and the sole Great Dao of its kind in all universes.
It stood above rules, above universes, and even above the Forbidden Zone of Life.
It existed solely for Lin Moyu.
Inside and outside all universes there was only this one Immortality Great Dao.
This was the Great Dao belonging to Lin Moyu alone, with no equal above it.
The Immortality Great Dao crashed down, ignored the annihilation power, and descended into his body.
The Immortality Great Dao and the annihilation power collided head on, erupting with a shocking aura as twisted space swept through more than half of the Language God Universe.
The formation harboring Lin Moyu's consciousness shattered with a boom, and in that instant Lin Moyu's consciousness returned to his body.
Purple light flickered.
Amid the clash between the Immortality Great Dao and annihilation power, the Great Dao charged into the purple light, rebirthing together with Lin Moyu's body and soul.
The Immortality Great Dao was originally split into gray and white the gray representing death, the white representing life.
Life and death alternated freely, shifting at will.
But now the gray and white began to fuse into one another.
Using the Immortality Great Dao as a link, Lin Moyu's soul and flesh also began to fuse in a peculiar way.
Numerous starfish shaped soul particles flew out of his soul.
These particles scattered into every corner of his body, filling it completely.
Meridians, flesh, internal organs, bones everywhere soul particles were present.
It was not that soul power spread through his body; it was that soul particles spread throughout his body.
After the soul particles, the rest of his soul dispersed as well, turning into the void and merging entirely with his flesh.
In this manner, flesh and soul fused, spirit and body became a single whole, and the Immortality Great Dao became the guide that allowed spirit and flesh to unite, likewise merging within and helping spirit and flesh complete the final step.
From this moment on, Lin Moyu's soul was his flesh, and his flesh was likewise his soul.
Every drop of blood contained both soul and flesh.
A drop of blood could produce an avatar, and that avatar's combat power would be only slightly inferior to the main body.
Annihilation power fell upon him.
His body shone brilliantly as immense power swept forth, forcibly blocking the annihilation power.
Yet this resistance did not last long.
Moments later, the radiance shattered and the annihilation power still landed on his body.
His flesh broke apart, but only partially, and then it quickly regenerated.
The speed of regeneration was in no way slower than the speed of destruction.
The annihilation power could only obliterate the surface of his flesh, which for Lin Moyu amounted to nothing more than superficial wounds.
"My body and soul have finally reached perfection, and just so happen to have reached the peak of supreme experts.
"Too early or too late would not have worked.
"This is my opportunity."
"Everything is just right.
"Now I can remain safe and sound within the Forbidden Zone of Life, but to cross it from one side to the other, I am still slightly lacking."
"And this Forbidden Zone of Life…"
Lin Moyu looked beyond the heavens.
His gaze pierced through the universe itself and saw the Forbidden Zone of Life, passing through endless void and vaguely catching sight of certain things.
Those things were like stars, flickering with dazzling brilliance and exuding an endless allure, as though a voice kept ringing inside his soul without stop.
"Come, take me away.
"Come, take me away!"
Voice after voice called, trying to draw him over.
Lin Moyu murmured, "So this is the sight those supreme experts saw?"
Supreme experts mastered the Primordial Heavenly Art, and after completely refining their universe, they would receive what was called the guidance of the universe, allowing them to see what lay on the other side of the Forbidden Zone of Life.
Once they saw that thing, they would know what they had to do and would seek methods to cross the Forbidden Zone of Life by any means necessary in order to obtain it.
Unfortunately, in this era of Great Annihilation, no one had ever obtained that thing.
Now Lin Moyu had also seen it.
He had not refined his universe, and his universe had not yet undergone the great tribulation of life and death, and yet he still saw it because he was strong enough.
He truly did possess the power to cross the Forbidden Zone of Life now, but Lin Moyu was very clear that even if he did cross it and obtain that item, he still would not be able to take the next step.
"The time has not yet come."
Lin Moyu's gaze deepened.
At this moment he could see through the universe; there were almost no secrets left inside or outside it.
When he saw that item, he had also seen certain things hidden even deeper behind it.
He understood that the time had not yet arrived and that he was still a bit short.
But it was close very close.
He withdrew his gaze and waved his hand, putting away the Hongmeng Purple Flame.
The rift in the universe gradually mended, and the annihilation power dispersed.
At this moment Lin Moyu's entire body glowed with flowing light, ten thousand rays of multicolored brilliance radiating out from him.
No words could describe what he looked like now.
The rules of the universe bowed their heads before him.
When he closed his eyes, the universe lost its luster; when he opened them, the universe shone resplendently.
Life, death, and annihilation all lay within a single thought of his.
He knew the past and understood the future; everything within the Language God Universe fell within his awareness.
He had not refined the universe, and yet his control was more thorough than if he had.
Even if a supreme expert were to emerge in the Language God Universe now and refine it, Lin Moyu could effortlessly seize authority over the universe from that person's hands.
Though he had not refined the universe, the universe was already a thing held in his palm.
With a single thought, Lin Moyu spoke:
"I am the lord of this universe.
"The Language God Universe was born because of me, and it shall exist for all eternity, untouched by calamity."
"I have attained the Dao!"
With this proclamation to the universe, Lin Moyu's aura roared forth, shattering the barrier of the universe.
Outside the universe, it took form as a giant hand that reached across the cosmos and firmly grasped the universe itself.
In this instant Lin Moyu attained the Dao and simultaneously refined the universe.
At this time, the Language God Universe had yet to pass through its first great tribulation, and its universe core had yet to be born, but none of this mattered.
Lin Moyu had his own method of refinement.
Without relying on the universe core, he refined the entire universe from the outside in, leaving not even the smallest fragment untouched.
This was what true refinement meant not refining the universe via its core.
The difference between the two was something only he understood.
Lin Moyu's aura continued to climb.
His cultivation realm broke through, and he became a supreme expert while also completing the refinement of the universe.
The entire process flowed as smoothly as water, without the slightest ripple of accident.
He knew he now stood at the very peak of supreme experts, and the Language God Universe would also become a Nine Cycle universe.
Aside from the Hongmeng Universe, which did not exist in this era, there was no other universe that could be compared to it.
As for how to turn it into a Hongmeng Universe, he already had a plan in mind, but there was no need to rush.
That matter could wait until after the Language God Universe had passed through its first great tribulation.
Besides that, he still had some things to take care of, problems that, if not handled properly, would bring trouble.
Lin Moyu's advancement to supreme expert made the foundation of the Language God Universe even more solid and profound.
The entire universe grew stronger, and Little Tree benefited as well, growing once again.
With branches and leaves flourishing, Little Tree now occupied billions upon billions of miles, its size almost unimaginable.
But Lin Moyu knew clearly that even now Little Tree was still far from its true pinnacle.
Little Tree and the Hongmeng Gem flew over and spoke in unison.
"Congratulations on attaining the Dao, master!"
Lin Moyu said, "Little Tree, you may now bring in the remains of other universes.
"There is no need to deliberately help me search for universes anymore."
Little Tree shouted loudly, "Little Tree obeys!"
Lin Moyu then said to the Hongmeng Gem, "The first great tribulation is almost upon us.
"When that time comes, we will go and snatch things together!"
The Hongmeng Gem froze for a moment, then reacted and shouted with excitement, "All right, all right, let us go snatch things together!"
