Chapter 4018: If a Turtle Can Do It, What Are Chickens and Dogs?
Lin Moyu knew the World Sealing Dao Lord was joking with him. This senior, who had lived three lives and helped Lin Moyu greatly when he first entered the great world, was someone Lin Moyu always felt grateful toward. Even though the World Sealing Dao Lord had his own motives, who in the world doesn't? In Lin Moyu's eyes, motives didn't matter; what mattered was what one did. As long as no harm was done to him and the end result was mutually beneficial, there was no problem.
Back then, the World Sealing Dao Lord was called Water Stopping Heavenly Venerable and had explained many things about the world to Lin Moyu, helping him a lot. Lin Moyu remembered every bit of it and would never forget. While he didn't believe in repaying every drop of kindness with a flood, he believed in fair reciprocation, or even a bit more so he could face his conscience. That's why he was willing to help the World Sealing Dao Lord break free from the Origin Continent's shackles and gain true freedom. He could feel the other's trust, so he repaid it in kind.
"This world looks pretty good," Lin Moyu said, gazing ahead. The world's formation skills were excellent, on par with the World Sealing Dao Lord's, showing that the Dao of Formations held a high status here. Choosing this world was the perfect match for the World Sealing Dao Lord.
With a bit of pride, the World Sealing Dao Lord took a big swig of wine. "Not bad, right? I searched several worlds before finding this one it's the best fit for me."
Lin Moyu looked at him in surprise. "Where did you get that wine?" He remembered giving the World Sealing Dao Lord some good wine, but it shouldn't have been possible to bring it into the Soul Void.
The World Sealing Dao Lord replied matter of factly, "I've lived three lives. I've entered the Soul Void countless times. Brewing a little wine in my soul world isn't too much, is it?"
Lin Moyu laughed and shook his head. "Not at all. Alright, I'll clear this world first, then we'll proceed as planned."
The World Sealing Dao Lord nodded. "Earlier, I sensed several Dao Lords had fallen. I suppose the Third Ancestor and the others succeeded?"
Lin Moyu said, "They all made it."
Hearing that, the World Sealing Dao Lord seemed relieved. "Good. I'll follow your lead from here."
Lin Moyu flicked his fingers, sending out several divine runes that pierced the battlefield and entered the opposing formation. The once mighty formation immediately lost its power, its strength dropping by more than half.
The World Sealing Dao Lord was shocked. The opposing formation was as good as his own, and after years of fighting, he'd never been able to break it. If Lin Moyu had used brute force to smash it, he wouldn't have been so surprised but Lin Moyu had simply used a few runes to weaken it by half. This revealed that Lin Moyu's understanding of the Dao of Formations far surpassed his own, even though he was supposed to be the Dao Lord of Formations.
With the enemy's formation weakened, the World Sealing Dao Lord's own formation instantly gained the upper hand, launching waves of attacks that shattered the opposing formation. Lin Moyu continued sending out divine runes, crushing the enemy's defenses with ease.
Such is the Dao of Formations: a slight difference in skill leads to total domination.
The World Sealing Dao Lord watched Lin Moyu closely and finally noticed the difference. The divine runes Lin Moyu used were fundamentally different from his own, even if they looked similar on the surface. He couldn't help but ask, "Lin kid, your divine runes…"
Lin Moyu smiled. "You see it, don't you? I've integrated my own insights into these runes they're not the same anymore." He tossed a jade slip to the World Sealing Dao Lord. "The basic principles are all recorded inside."
The jade slip contained Lin Moyu's understanding of formation runes. Rather than just teaching the World Sealing Dao Lord how to improve his runes, Lin Moyu wanted him to figure it out himself only then could he create his own unique runes.
The World Sealing Dao Lord accepted the jade slip and joked, "Thanks for the lesson, teacher."
Lin Moyu played along, "Good disciple."
Both burst out laughing.
Their formation swept through the world, where more than a dozen Dao Lords stood ready to face their enemy. In this world, all Dao Lords excelled at formations even if they cultivated other Daos, they ultimately integrated them into formations. With Lin Moyu present, the World Sealing Dao Lord's formation was overwhelming.
But killing Dao Lords wasn't easy. Not wanting to waste time, Lin Moyu unleashed his undead servants. An endless tide of undead swept across the world like a calamity, bringing despair.
The World Sealing Dao Lord had nothing to do but watch Dao Lords fall one after another, sighing, "So many people strive to become Dao Lords, yet they're so easily defeated."
Lin Moyu said, "A Dao Lord is just a realm. As long as you're not eternal, you can still fall. And even if you reach eternity or beyond it doesn't mean you can't die."
The World Sealing Dao Lord's eyelids twitched. He heard what Lin Moyu was implying: Lin Moyu had seen beings stronger than eternal existences. But he didn't ask after three lifetimes, his curiosity had faded, and he didn't want to know more than necessary. Knowing what lay beyond eternity was useless to him; he wasn't even close to reaching it.
He said quietly, "I have no hope becoming a Great Dao Lord is unlikely. I just want to live peacefully. If you get the chance, push onward, and when you make it, tell me what it's like."
"If one person attains the Dao, even chickens and dogs ascend. I'll just wait for you to make it, and take me with you."
Lin Moyu joked, "Why compare yourself to chickens and dogs?"
The World Sealing Dao Lord laughed, "My third life was as a turtle. If I'm not afraid to be a turtle, what are chickens and dogs?"
Fair enough after three lives, not only was his curiosity gone, but even his bottom line had faded.
Lin Moyu smiled, "Alright, if that day ever comes, I'll take you with me."
He then explained the plan in detail. The World Sealing Dao Lord agreed without hesitation and chose to self destruct after all, self destruction was nothing to him.
Together, they reached the world's origin core, which was quite powerful. Lin Moyu used the World Burning Fire to weaken the core, making it easier to nurture a world spirit. The World Sealing Dao Lord refined the Heaven Covering Stone and Immortal Jade, then decisively self destructed.
A little over a year later, the Origin Continent once again witnessed a world wide mourning as another Dao Lord fell and torrential rain poured down.
