Chapter 3619: 3619 Chapter 3619: Great Dao Competition, Life or Death Lin Moyu’s most direct impression was that Shen Chen’s words exuded a sense of righteousness. With his keen soul perception, he could clearly sense that Shen Chen’s words matched his character. Among cultivators from the Outer Sky Great Dao, there were naturally all kinds of people. Over the years, he had seen quite a few in the Central Continent. However, regardless of the type of person, they generally had their own calculations. Someone like Shen Chen, who spoke so directly, was not very common. Lin Moyu unconsciously thought of Chu Xiong from the great world. The two seemed to have some similarities. Lin Moyu also knew how to deal with this type of person. The best way was to speak frankly, "Senior, why are you looking for the Heavy Water Great Dao?" Shen Chen didn’t conceal anything either, "Naturally, it’s to achieve the Dao in full." Hearing this answer, Lin Moyu was even more puzzled, "Senior is already a first-grade innate soul, only one step away from becoming a Dao Lord. If Senior wants to become a Dao Lord, shouldn’t you be communicating with the Great Dao within the world?" Shen Chen gave a bitter laugh: "Which of us cultivators doesn’t want to become a Dao Lord? But there can only be one Dao Lord, and the Heavy Water Great Dao already has a Dao Lord!" With the Heavy Water Great Dao already having a Dao Lord, it was impossible for a new Dao Lord to appear before the current one perished. So Shen Chen came here. Lin Moyu immediately understood why Shen Chen had come. He wanted to find the Heavy Water Great Dao, then follow the Great Dao’s trajectory to another world that possessed the Heavy Water Great Dao. If that world didn’t have a Dao Lord, then he would have a chance. If that world’s Heavy Water Great Dao already had a Dao Lord, Shen Chen would either have to find another place or perish, slain by that Dao Lord. For Shen Chen, this was his only chance, and also a necessary course of action. Lin Moyu asked, "Actually, couldn’t Senior wait? Dao Lords always engage in Great Dao competition. What if the Dao Lord perishes? Wouldn’t Senior then have a chance?" Shen Chen shook his head: "He’s overly cautious. After becoming a Dao Lord, he shut himself away and doesn’t participate in Great Dao competition. There’s no point in waiting. I can only seek another path!" This type of Dao Lord was not uncommon. Content to be wealthy, not fighting for power, they could live for billions of years without issue if nothing unexpected happened. This approach was purely a personal choice, and others couldn’t say much about it. So Shen Chen could either be content as a top Great Dao realm expert at the peak of first-grade innate soul, or leave the world to seek another path. Obviously, Shen Chen had ambitions, so he came here. For someone like him, once he made a decision, his dao heart became extremely firm, almost impossible to change. Lin Moyu understood Shen Chen’s thoughts, "Junior will help look together." Shen Chen didn’t stand on ceremony: "Thank you!" In the void, the Great Daos were extremely chaotic, all intertwined, forming a pattern where each contained the other, extremely difficult to distinguish. The Heavy Water Great Dao was a branch of the Water Great Dao. The Water Great Dao had many branches, and their auras were very similar. Trying to find the Heavy Water Great Dao among them was indeed not easy. Lin Moyu relied on his keen soul to sense bit by bit, untangling the chaotic mess of Great Daos thread by thread, searching for the Heavy Water Great Dao little by little. Shen Chen was also searching. Both lowered their heads and eyes, looking extremely serious. After searching for a long time, Shen Chen still hadn’t found it and couldn’t help but sigh: "Friend, if we really can’t find it, let’s forget it." Lin Moyu said: "I feel like we’re close to finding it." Shen Chen thought Lin Moyu was just comforting him. He didn’t mind and continued: "This is Shen’s own affair. Friend doesn’t need to trouble himself so much." Lin Moyu ignored him and continued searching. The process of searching for the Great Dao was actually a small training for the soul. In this process, his control over his soul power became more meticulous, and the keenness of his soul also improved. Great Daos with similar attributes but completely different were found, discovered, and distinguished. Lin Moyu was no longer just looking for the Heavy Water Great Dao; he was cultivating his soul. During the search process, the soul was both training and consuming energy. Shen Chen had to stop after searching for a while to let his soul recover. But Lin Moyu didn’t stop for a moment. It seemed as if his soul power wouldn’t be consumed. Shen Chen was somewhat amazed. He, a peak first-grade soul Great Dao realm expert, was actually inferior in this aspect to a little seventh-grade soul fellow. But Lin Moyu proved it to him with facts. Shen Chen watched for a while and roughly figured out the reason. Lin Moyu’s soul power spread outward, indicating continuous consumption, but the soul power didn’t decrease at all, indicating that his soul power was constantly recovering. The rate of consumption was almost equal to the rate of recovery, so the soul power always remained at its peak, not needing to rest for a moment. Shen Chen looked at this recovery ability with some envy. In the midst of his envy, Lin Moyu suddenly called out: "Found it!" Shen Chen’s eyes lit up, "Really found it?" Lin Moyu’s soul power transformed into a large hand. Two fingers on the large hand pinched a thread of Great Dao power, slowly flying towards Shen Chen. The Great Dao was formless, and soul power was also formless. When these two formless things met, they became visible and tangible. This thread of Great Dao power was thinner than a hair, but it was extremely tough, not at all afraid of breaking. The other end of the Great Dao power extended into the depths of the void. Along the way, it was still a chaotic tangle of Great Daos. Now they had only found one end, and Shen Chen still needed to follow this thread of Great Dao power all the way. Shen Chen sensed the aura of the Heavy Water Great Dao. His soul aura surged with excitement, showing obvious joy. He also transformed his soul into a hand, reaching for the Great Dao power. His tone slightly excited: "Thank you, friend. If Shen can become a Dao Lord, I will certainly return to thank you properly." Lin Moyu smiled slightly: "Senior needn’t be so formal. Junior only helped a little. I wish Senior success in his dao and becoming a Dao Lord." Shen Chen said: "Shen’s journey is uncertain. Some words are better left unsaid. If I can return alive, we’ll talk again. May I ask how to address you?" This time, Lin Moyu didn’t conceal it, "Junior is Lin Moyu." Shen Chen said: "Shen has noted it. Friend Lin, we’ll meet again if fate allows." He didn’t seem surprised by Lin Moyu’s name, which was normal. Perhaps he had been in the Soul Void for years and didn’t know what had happened outside. Or maybe he had been in seclusion, unaware of outside affairs. Lin Moyu secretly laughed, thinking his earlier concerns were somewhat unnecessary. Shen Chen followed the Great Dao power in his hand, continuously picking out the Great Dao power from the tangled mess, gradually moving forward, disappearing into the void’s mist. Lin Moyu knew that Shen Chen’s journey was indeed uncertain. If he was lucky and became a Dao Lord, he would return to engage in Great Dao competition with the Heavy Water Dao Lord of the Origin Continent. Only one of them could live unless one was willing to give up the position of Dao Lord. Great Dao competition was so cruel - it was either life or death. If Shen Chen didn’t return, either perishing halfway or if the world of the Great Dao power he chose already had a Heavy Water Great Dao Lord, it would be a battle with slim chances of survival. This was Shen Chen’s fate, and no one knew the outcome. Shen Chen’s matter was like an interlude. Lin Moyu also gained from this, with his soul’s keenness improving and gaining experience with the chaotic Great Dao powers. Perhaps one day, he would need to use this. "Next, it’s time to do the real work!" The Undead Eye swept across, and Lin Moyu chose a direction, soaring away. ************************************** I’ve edited Chapters 3601 to 3615—please check them out! They now have more details and flow better. One of the reasons I avoided translating during my vacation was due to inconsistencies and lack of focus, which would have impacted the translation quality. For a better reading experience, I recommend rereading from Chapter 3601. ************************************** Ko-fi.com/translatetoki only donate if u want to My p@treon is now up go to [email protected]/Translatetoki Remove the @ symbol and type a
