Chapter 4141: 4141 Chapter 4141: The March on the Spirit Demon Clan Tun Yuan and the Soulless Beast joined forces and fought fiercely against the Dao Wild Beasts; for years, the battles never ceased, and the Dao Wild Beasts suffered heavy losses. The Beast Emperors tried many methods but couldn’t resolve these two, so with their intelligence, they would not keep wasting effort. The logical move was to break out there was only one direction: the Hengduan Mountains. If they could break through the Hengduan Mountains, they could charge into the outer battlefield, invade the Origin Ancestral Land, devour the Great Dao, and fulfill their innate mission. But the Hengduan Mountains were protected by powerful formations and Eternals, and more importantly, the Spirit Demon Clan was dragging them back from behind, making a breakthrough difficult. Thus, the Beast Emperors would inevitably choose to eliminate the Spirit Demon Clan first. The wild beasts were strong enough to do it, but had previously focused all their efforts on nurturing the mutated beast, so they hadn’t dealt with the Spirit Demon Clan. Now, with the mutated beast complete and nine Beast Emperors at full strength, they were unlikely to wait any longer. After discussions, Lin Moyu and the Eternals concluded there was an 80% chance this would happen. The Spirit Demon Clan seemed to be helping cultivators by holding back the wild beasts, but in truth, they were there on a mission not truly on the cultivators’ side. Lin Moyu vividly remembered the 621 Great Dao Lords who fell in Burial Dao Valley. In hindsight, even if those Dao Lords made mistakes, it was only because they threatened the Spirit Demon Clan’s safety. The Spirit Demon Clan had choices: abandon their mission, or make the Dao Lords swear an oath. Instead, they chose to let the Dao Lords die. There was selfishness here they didn’t want the cultivators’ side to grow too strong. Lin Moyu didn’t know the details of their mission, but it was certainly not simple. They wanted a three way balance to buy more time. But after all these years, their mission seemed to make no progress. Or perhaps, their mission was just to stall. It was also possible the Spirit Demon Clan was hiding its true strength. Now, with the Dao Wild Beasts attacking, it was a chance to see how the Spirit Demon Clan would respond. The Eternals were now just spectators; life had been peaceful for years, with no beast tides, only a bit of boredom. The Dao Lords on the outer battlefield were even more bored since the filth pools there had been purified, the wild beasts were nearly extinct, and the beast tides were gone. The Dao Lords could finally relax, no longer forced into endless battles. This was good, but also bad: they could no longer collect world fortune by killing wild beasts, so breaking through to Eternity would require other, harder methods like teaching and passing on the Dao. Over the next two years, the Dao Wild Beasts fought over a hundred battles with Tun Yuan and the Soulless Beast, always suffering heavy losses. Several more filth pools were purified. Of the 108 pools, three were dried up, seventeen purified, leaving eighty eight usable. Nine were royal pools, which could only nurture ordinary wild beasts. The other seventy nine could still produce wild beasts, but much more slowly. The wild beasts killed by Tun Yuan and the Soulless Beast were so thoroughly destroyed they couldn’t be reborn from the pools. Finally, after two years, the Dao Wild Beasts began to gather and marched in force toward the Spirit Demon Clan. As predicted, the Beast Emperors had decided to act. The mutated beast moved as well, hidden in the Dao Cloud, advancing with the army. Lin Moyu noticed the mutated beast had grown stronger two of its four claws had fully transformed, and it was close to its final evolution. If it completed this, its power would approach the limit of the world, touching half step transcendence. At that point, even all the Eternals together might not be able to stop it. Still, Lin Moyu wasn’t worried with Candle Dragon present, no matter how strong the mutated beast became, it couldn’t overturn the situation. An Yuyan was a bit worried, but Lin Moyu reassured her with a glance. She asked, "Lin Daoist, when do you plan to return?" Lin Moyu replied, "The time isn’t right yet, but it’s soon." An Yuyan sighed, "I hope everything goes smoothly." She seemed to believe that as long as Lin Moyu returned to Eternity, all problems would be solved. A few days later, the Dao Wild Beasts stormed into the Spirit Demon Clan’s territory. Lin Moyu’s formations didn’t cover their land, so they couldn’t watch the battle directly. However, Lin Moyu had left a few days earlier to follow the wild beast army and set up formations to monitor the situation and to see if the Spirit Demon Clan had any hidden trump cards. He acted alone, not letting anyone follow. Lin Moyu was very interested in the Spirit Demon Clan. The last time he entered their territory, he sensed something unusual and concluded they must have secrets. All his subsequent deductions were based on that feeling. The other Eternals didn’t know about this, but trusted him as a comrade. At this point, there were few wild beasts left in the Great Wilderness, so Lin Moyu crossed it without hesitation. He was the first cultivator in countless years to cross the Great Wilderness. While passing through its core, he realized something: the Candle Dragon statue’s location couldn’t be reached by normal means he’d only found it by accident through the underground tunnel. If he’d come by surface, he’d never have discovered Candle Dragon’s scheme. That was fate chance had let him glimpse the world’s secrets. Crossing the Great Wilderness, Lin Moyu followed the Dao Wild Beasts into the Spirit Demon Clan’s domain. Ahead, the wild beast army was already battling the Spirit Demon Clan. Lin Moyu hid in the rear and set up the first formation not a surveillance array, but a teleportation array. If the teleportation array could be completed, traveling here in the future would be much easier. However, activating it would cause spatial fluctuations and could easily be detected. Lin Moyu layered formations to hide the teleportation array, reducing the chance of discovery. Only then did he set up surveillance arrays to transmit images back. While the two sides fought fiercely, Lin Moyu circled the battlefield’s edge, setting up teleportation arrays and gradually clarifying the Spirit Demon Clan’s internal situation. "So this is what the Spirit Demon Clan is like." "There are more of them than I thought I assumed their numbers were small." "How did the Spirit Demon Clan members on the outer battlefield get there? It’s strange they shouldn’t be able to cross the Great Wilderness." The Eternals were also curious about the Spirit Demon Clan. After all these years, the two races had barely interacted very odd. As the battle intensified, the Spirit Demon Emperor finally appeared.
