Chapter 3672: 3672 Chapter 3672: The Transcendent Discernment Beast In the Void Realm, the kings of small soul domains are below the emperors of the Great Soul Domains. There are no other levels between them. It seems like just one step apart, but the actual gap is enormous. Only those who have truly encountered an emperor can deeply understand this. Although Lin Moyu had only seen the emperor’s projection, it was enough to make him feel the vast difference between them. He felt that the emperor was even more powerful than the Dao Lords of the Origin Continent. Lin Moyu had encountered several Dao Lords, including the Third Ancestor, the Beast Emperor, and the King of the Boundary Sea, but none of them compared to the Golden Cauldron Emperor. However, this was understandable. In the entire Void Realm, there were only nine emperors. In contrast, the real world had countless Dao Lords. If there was a mysterious force behind the scenes, ensuring a fair distribution of power across the worlds, then the emperors’ strength was only natural. The Soul Heart King didn’t know Lin Moyu was thinking so deeply. He was still a bit shaken: "This is what an emperor is like. Even if all our small soul domain kings joined forces, we wouldn’t be a match for an emperor. The emperor is the supreme ruler of the Void Realm." Lin Moyu nodded slightly: "Emperors are indeed very powerful, far surpassing the Dao Lords of the real world." The Soul Heart King shook his head: "I don’t know what Dao Lords are, but strong warriors from the real world have challenged emperors before and were easily defeated. There have been several such instances, and even when they came in groups, they were still killed with a single slap by an emperor." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎 "Fortunately, the emperor only came to warn you earlier. You should stop merging small soul domains for now; thirty should be enough." Lin Moyu asked: "What about continuing to slaughter void beasts?" The Soul Heart King replied: "That’s fine. Void beasts are like ants to emperors; you can kill them as you please. Emperors like the Golden Cauldron Emperor are more concerned with changes in the entire soul domain." As for individual void beasts, they aren’t important. Even if they’re all killed, they can quickly recover. However, if small soul domains are merged too much, it would be difficult to separate them again. The Golden Cauldron Emperor only issued a warning this time. If Lin Moyu continued, the next time, the emperor would likely take action against him. The Soul Heart King thought Lin Moyu was worried and reassured him: "Actually, there’s no need to worry. Emperors won’t act lightly unless you do something outrageous or provoke them." "Let’s go. We’re going to find the Discernment Beast. The journey is long, so be prepared." Lin Moyu didn’t mind. With his current speed, he could reach his destination eventually. Along the way, the mist was thick, and after the tidal storm, the chaotic mist had regrown, making the entire Void Realm a misty world, even harder to navigate. Lin Moyu felt his connection to his soul world weakening as he moved further away. He knew he was distancing himself. Using his soul world as a reference, he could roughly sense the direction. The Soul Heart King shared some precautions along the way: "The Discernment Beast is quite approachable. It will answer some questions directly, but for others, you need to offer something in exchange. Don’t try to force it." "The Discernment Beast lives near the Golden Cauldron Island. Its area was personally opened by an emperor, not a small soul domain, but it’s even better than one." "Next to the Discernment Beast’s residence is the Dragon Lake Small Soul Domain. The king of Dragon Lake has a bad temper and isn’t friendly to outsiders. He has killed many cultivators from the real world." "It’s best not to offend him, as he has a good relationship with the Discernment Beast." The Soul Heart King shared all he knew, and Lin Moyu took note. The Discernment Beast has existed for an immeasurable number of years. Even the Golden Cauldron Emperor was raised by it and views the Discernment Beast as a father figure. Offending the Discernment Beast would be equivalent to offending the Golden Cauldron Emperor, which explains its high status. Due to its unique abilities, other emperors sometimes come to seek its guidance, further elevating its position. As they flew over soul domain after soul domain, Lin Moyu became more restrained due to the emperor’s warning. He no longer attacked the kings of small soul domains or merged domains. However, they encountered two unclaimed small soul domains. The original kings had perished in the tidal storm, leaving behind innate treasures. Lin Moyu didn’t hesitate and took the treasures for himself. He didn’t merge the domains but could still refine them to become the new king of those domains. As long as he didn’t change the current layout of the small soul domains, the Golden Cauldron Emperor wouldn’t intervene. By the time they reached the Dragon Lake Small Soul Domain, Lin Moyu had accumulated thirty-five innate treasures. Lin Moyu found it strange that these treasures were all incomplete, not resembling normal artifacts. Their shapes included a broken pen, a half-seal, and a half-painting with an indistinguishable pattern. Combining this with the scene he saw during the treasure resonance, Lin Moyu had reason to believe these innate treasures came from a grand palace, specifically from one small room that seemed to be used for storing stationery. Thus, many of these treasures were writing tools. He shared his doubts with the Soul Heart King, who also didn’t know the answer. As they stopped before the Dragon Lake Small Soul Domain, the Soul Heart King said: "The Dragon King is very powerful. Once we enter, we’ll be discovered. Lin Friend, please let me do the talking." Lin Moyu nodded: "Okay." The Soul Heart King sighed: "I hope the Dragon King is in a good mood. Otherwise, this could be troublesome." Lin Moyu laughed: "No worries. If it’s because we can’t see the Discernment Beast, then I’ll just go with the Soul Heart King to find the real world." The Soul Heart King’s expression was peculiar: "Lin Friend is quite open-minded. However, the real world I’m searching for is actually within the Dragon Lake Small Soul Domain." Lin Moyu burst out laughing: "No wonder the Soul Heart King kept reminding me to get along with the Dragon King. It turns out this was the main reason." The Soul Heart King was so enthusiastic about finding the Discernment Beast because he had once discovered a real world within the Dragon Lake Small Soul Domain. Everyone has some personal motives, and Lin Moyu understood this. The Soul Heart King said: "I once came to find the Discernment Beast and accidentally discovered that world while passing through the Dragon Lake Small Soul Domain." "At the time, I searched for a long time but found nothing. It seems like fate that Lin Friend is also going to find the Discernment Beast." Lin Moyu laughed: "Indeed, it’s fate. Who can say for sure? Perhaps, as the Soul Heart King said, this is indeed a kind of fate." As they chatted, they entered the Dragon Lake Small Soul Domain. Upon entering, Lin Moyu felt a different atmosphere. The chaotic mist here contained a lot of water vapor, with a hint of will hidden within. Soon, the mist began to churn violently and then dispersed with a loud dragon roar. ************************************** 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
