Chapter 4804: Wasteland
The wasteland was pitch‑black, suspended in midair.
It was circular, with a diater exceeding billions of li, and its thickness was equally astonishing.
Rather than calling it wasteland, it would be better to say it was an abandoned continent.
The reason the first impression was that it was wasteland was because it was filled with a decaying aura.
Under the shroud of this aura, nothing could exist here, and nothing could reproduce.
Even if a Great Venerable entered this place, given enough ti, they would also be affected by this decaying aura.
In the lighter case, their cultivation would drastically plumt; in the worse case, they would lose their status as a Great Venerable.
"Why does this decaying aura look sowhat familiar to ...?"
The soul mote flew into the wasteland.
A Great Venerable could not endure the decay here, but his soul mote was not affected.
His soul, combining void and reality, had already completed the union of soul and flesh with his body.
Whether soul or body, both had reached the extre of the peak powerhouses.
The split‑off soul mote shared this sa trait; no matter how strong this decaying aura was, it could do nothing to the soul mote.
The soul mote flew through the wasteland.
The ground was black, utterly devoid of vitality and filled only with deathly qi.
However, Lin Moyu was very clear that it was often in such lands of death that an extrely powerful vitality could be bred.
Moreover, the deathly qi here was sowhat special.
It was too extre and did not seem naturally ford.
"This land was most likely once filled with vitality.
"When that vitality reached its extre, for so reason it jumped to the other extre, and only then did it beco a land of death."
"With the abilities of a peak powerhouse, dealing with this patch of dead land would not be difficult.
"So why leave it here alone?
"Does it hold so special aning?"
"There is even a grand array guarding the outside of this wasteland.
"Clearly, no one is allowed to enter this place.
"There must have been so special event here in the past.
"Let see what exactly happened here back then."
The soul mote, carrying a trace of curiosity, relied on the rules to examine the marks left in the flow of ti.
Ti flowed, and the more Lin Moyu saw, the stranger he felt.
The marks left in ti here had actually been deliberately erased by soone.
He was not able to see them clearly.
Yet precisely because of this, the more it proved that the other party wanted to hide sothing.
The grand array outside the wasteland had been set down personally by a peak powerhouse from the Hongng Heaven and Earth.
Their auras were interconnected, and Lin Moyu would not mistake it.
He did not want others approaching this place, but for what reason exactly?
"What is that?"
While pondering, Lin Moyu suddenly noticed sothing buried in the soil.
The soul mote did not move the soil aside.
This was clearly the territory of a peak powerhouse of the Hongng Heaven and Earth, and it was quite possible that he had people watching this place.
If Lin Moyu disturbed the soil, he would definitely be discovered.
The soul mote directly slipped inside to inspect what lay within the earth.
A trace of green entered his sight.
Within the green light were strange lines.
"This is... a Hongng Spirit Tree leaf!"
The patterns in the green light were identical to those on a Hongng Spirit Tree leaf.
The soul mote shuttled within the green light, tracing out the outline from the edges and ultimately confirming that it was a broken Hongng Spirit Tree leaf.
However, the vitality within this Hongng Spirit Tree leaf had already been replaced by decay.
It was now nothing but an empty shell, rotten within.
But the appearance of this broken Hongng Spirit Tree leaf allowed Lin Moyu to understand what this place was.
There had once been a Hongng Spirit Tree here, but for so reason it had been destroyed.
The ultimate vitality reversed to the other extre and turned into ultimate death.
Although the Hongng Spirit Tree had been destroyed, so broken branches and leaves remained.
The Hongng Spirit Tree root that appeared during the great calamity in the Chaotic Ancient Desolation, and that Hongng Spirit Tree leaf, were likely both from this place.
"If this place once housed a Hongng Spirit Tree, how exactly was the Hongng Spirit Tree destroyed?
"Was it also because of the Great Annihilation?
"The Great Annihilation impacted the heaven and earth, severely damaging it, and only then was the Hongng Spirit Tree destroyed?
"No, that cause and effect seems reversed..."
Lin Moyu suddenly realized that he had gotten the causal relationship wrong.
The reason the Hongng Spirit Tree was destroyed did indeed originate from the Great Annihilation, but it was not that the heaven and earth were damaged first, which then caused the Hongng Spirit Tree to shatter.
Rather, it was because the Hongng Spirit Tree shattered first that the heaven and earth were severely damaged.
The Hongng Spirit Tree was an important core supporting the Hongng Heaven and Earth.
Its role was even more important than that of the heaven and earth core and could be seen as another core of the world.
The heaven and earth core governed the powers of rules and the great Dao, while the Hongng Spirit Tree supported the heaven and earth.
It continuously absorbed power from the Forbidden Zone of Life and fed it back to the world.
As long as the Hongng Spirit Tree existed, the Hongng Heaven and Earth would be able to obtain an endless supply of nourishnt.
Even if it was slightly damaged, it could be restored.
At the very least, the Hongng Spirit Tree could wrap around the heaven and earth to maintain its current state so that it would not gradually collapse.
It was also because of the existence of the Hongng Spirit Tree that the heaven and earth could beco stronger over ti.
The living beings and peak powerhouses within that heaven and earth, even if they did nothing, would see their power grow along with it.
For the Hongng Heaven and Earth, the Hongng Spirit Tree was like a powerful passive enhancent.
But now that the Hongng Spirit Tree had been destroyed, the heaven and earth had lost its most important source of nourishnt.
Once damaged, it would fall into continuous, unending collapse, difficult to reverse.
After he figured out the nature of the wasteland, Lin Moyu also realized the importance of the Hongng Spirit Tree.
Without a Hongng Spirit Tree, it was fundantally impossible to advance to a Hongng Heaven and Earth.
Fortunately, his Yushen Heaven and Earth already possessed a Hongng Spirit Tree, eting the conditions for evolution.
However, from the current situation, the correct thod of evolution had not yet been found.
Lin Moyu still felt that sothing was missing.
The soul mote left the wasteland and continued to fly through this heaven and earth, observing.
He observed for dozens of years, almost viewing the entire world and understanding every detail, but he still could not find the answer he sought.
He still had no clue as to how to evolve the Yushen Heaven and Earth into a Hongng Heaven and Earth.
In the end, the soul mote returned to where the heaven and earth core lay, looking at that nineteen‑storied pagoda and palace, sensing the aura of the peak powerhouse inside the palace.
The tricks he had played on the formations were clearly effective.
The other party’s recovery speed had been significantly slowed, yet that being still knew nothing about it.
The soul mote chose an inconspicuous corner to hide, continuing to secretly observe this heaven and earth.
Back in the Yushen Heaven and Earth, after the main body completed yet another round of the Ga of All Beings, it muttered to itself, "It seems that evolving to a Hongng Heaven and Earth is not that easy.
"I can only proceed step by step."
He continued to enter the Ga of All Beings to comprehend the rules within.
In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred years passed.
The Yushen Heaven and Earth and the Chaotic Ancient Desolation were both peaceful, and nothing unusual appeared in that Hongng Heaven and Earth.
Only occasionally did Lin Moyu sense that soone was spying on the Yushen Heaven and Earth, with the gaze coming from the Forbidden Zone of Life.
He knew that the man in purple had not gone far.
He was right outside the Yushen Heaven and Earth, watching him.
Lin Moyu did not bother with him.
If you want to watch, then watch.
Watching him would not cost him a piece of flesh.
Besides, with the Hongng Spirit Tree shrouding the heaven and earth, that man could not see much.
At most he could only check whether the Yushen Heaven and Earth was still there.
Lin Moyu knew that he was waiting, waiting for the main body to awaken.
Finally, two hundred years later, the heaven and earth core of the Yushen Heaven and Earth completed its evolution, and the Technique of Primordial Heaven also took shape at the sa ti.
In an instant, Lin Moyu refined the heaven and earth core and simultaneously comprehended the Technique of Primordial Heaven, integrating it into his Nine‑Heavens Fate Technique.
The entire process was extrely smooth, and at that mont Lin Moyu completely took control of the Yushen Heaven and Earth.
A faint light lit up in his soul.
The main body in the Ga of All Beings suddenly raised its head and looked into the distance.
His gaze pierced through the Ga of All Beings and the Forbidden Zone of Life and once again fell upon that thing...
