Chapter 4014: 4014 Chapter 4014: Need to Think of a Solution The uproar over the Third Ancestor’s "fall" hadn’t yet subsided when another mournful rain swept across the Origin Continent and the Outer Great Dao another Dao Lord had fallen. The Dao Lord who previously announced the Third Ancestor’s fall now shrank back, not daring to speak. The Third Ancestor’s dramatic return had been a slap in the face, leaving him too embarrassed to show himself again. Unlike the Third Ancestor, Shangguan Wentian wasn’t as famous and had no great faction behind him, so his "fall" didn’t cause much of a stir. Still, the mournful rain moved many, and some sensitive souls even shed tears without knowing why. In the Soul Void, Shangguan Wentian’s shattered soul was slowly reconstituting under the power of the Immortal Jade. Lin Moyu observed the process again, now fully understanding how the Heaven Covering Stone and Immortal Jade worked together to enable a fake death and resurrection. The Heaven Covering Stone first deceived the world, using the death of one third of the soul as proof, making the world believe the person had truly died. This erased the true spirit imprint from the Origin Continent, but the real true spirit didn’t disappear. By the world’s rules, after a period, the true spirit would be reactivated, either entering a new world (reincarnation) or the Soul Void, perhaps to become a soul beast and live a soul beast’s life. The remaining two thirds of the soul should have dissipated, but under the Immortal Jade’s effect, they reformed, eventually becoming whole again though weaker for the loss and requiring a long time to recover. By then, the world would assume it had made a mistake, but the true spirit imprint would already be erased, completing the detachment from the world. Lin Moyu mused: "So, a true spirit leaves its imprint in a world only during reincarnation. Where are the soul beasts’ true spirit imprints? Not in the Great Spirit Domain, nor the Small Spirit Domain could it be the Beast Abyss?" He immediately thought that was the most likely place. Only then could it make sense. But that was just the imprint, not the true body. If he could ever find where all true spirits reside, he could control everyone’s life and death. Of course, that was just a wild thought Lin Moyu knew it was unrealistic. A year later, Shangguan Wentian was finally revived by the Immortal Jade, his soul so weak he nearly dropped below the Dao realm. Lin Moyu promptly used the Power of Life and soul flowers to barely stabilize his realm. Shangguan Wentian was weaker than the Third Ancestor, but at least he was stable. After breaking free of the Origin Continent, Shangguan Wentian was overjoyed. Only he could truly understand the feeling of freedom. A few days later, his soul world arrived, and the next step was for his body to leave. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂 Somewhere on the Outer Great Dao, Shangguan Wentian’s body awakened. Unlike the Third Ancestor, he had no unfinished business and immediately flew out of the world. Not far out, he was stopped by someone. This man, You Song, was also a Dao Lord and a close friend who had helped Shangguan Wentian before. He sensed that the fallen Dao Lord was Shangguan Wentian, but now saw him alive and was puzzled. He didn’t believe his senses were wrong and suspected something deeper. Shangguan Wentian clasped his hands in greeting. "Brother You Song, I don’t know how to explain today’s events. It involves some secrets of heaven and earth please don’t ask further." You Song looked at him, his expression complicated, but didn’t press. He could clearly sense Shangguan Wentian’s aura was weak, obviously gravely wounded. He quietly said, "What are you doing? If you’re in trouble, you can always come to me." Shangguan Wentian shook his head. "It’s really hard to explain. If there’s ever a chance, I’ll tell you everything." This matter was too grave he couldn’t say a word. He knew well that, besides the slumbering world will, many spies remained on the Origin Continent. Those who survived from previous eras were all agents of the world will, monitoring the world while it slept. If they found out, it could cause big trouble, even awakening the world will early. Lin Moyu had warned of all possibilities, and Shangguan Wentian knew what to do. Unable to get answers, You Song could only watch him leave. He didn’t notice that as Shangguan Wentian departed, his eyes were full of apology and guilt. After all, You Song was a true friend who had helped him many times, and now that Shangguan Wentian was free, he couldn’t help his friend in return. Back in the Soul Void, the next step was to help Shangguan Wentian nurture a world spirit. Perhaps because Lin Moyu was sensitive to souls, he noticed Shangguan Wentian’s mood. "What’s wrong?" he asked. Shangguan Wentian didn’t hide anything and told him about You Song. Lin Moyu knew Shangguan Wentian had several friends not just You Song. But he couldn’t help everyone; the Heaven Covering Stones and Immortal Jades were limited, and not everyone could get one. Plus, finding suitable worlds took time, and time was running out. Lin Moyu said quietly, "Everyone has their fate it’s up to luck." Shangguan Wentian understood and sighed. He split off a strand of soul, and Lin Moyu performed the Nurturing Spirit Art to plant it in the new world, while also teaching him the Spirit Control Art to master. The coming tens of thousands of years would be spent recovering and mastering these arts. Lin Moyu left undead servants behind to guard him, just in case. Next, Lin Moyu went to find Shen Chen. Shen Chen hadn’t become a Dao Lord yet; he was at the peak of the Great Dao realm, just half a step away. In terms of combat power, he was no weaker than some weaker branch Dao Lords, and could even beat Shangguan Wentian as he was now. Also, the fall of a Great Dao cultivator wouldn’t cause a world wide mourning, so it would be less noticeable. Shangguan Wentian’s case had made Lin Moyu cautious if You Song could sense it, others could too. If the world will’s old agents noticed, there could be trouble, maybe even an early awakening. Lin Moyu was especially concerned about the Beast Emperor, who had already drawn attention. He wasn’t worried about their strength, but feared they might prematurely awaken the world will, which would be a real problem. "Looks like I need to think of a solution!"
