Chapter 4818: Chapter 4818: Cleansing the Dust Chapter 4818: Cleansing the Dust This was a long and lonely journey. The remnants of heavens and earth had completely vanished, and an ancient, desolate aura appeared in the void. "There has never been any heaven and earth here, nor has life ever been born here. "This is a true land of death. "The vastness of the Life Forbidden Zone exceeds imagination; the region occupied by all the heavens and earth is only a very small part of it." He could not, as in a dungeon secret realm, send undead spirit soldiers to trace out the outline of the Life Forbidden Zone. As far as the eye could see, billions upon billions of miles of void were exactly the same, with nothing at all. He was the only living being, the one and only lonely existence. The light ahead pointed the way. When he did not look at it, it might as well not exist; its light could only be seen and did not illuminate the surroundings. The distance to the light changed extremely slowly so slowly that only after several decades or even centuries would it draw a tiny bit closer. "This is hope and also despair." "Loneliness is a terrifying emotion, enough to drive one mad. "Even an apex powerhouse will go insane when facing endless years of loneliness." "What meaning does great power have, if in a heaven and earth where there is no one to compare against, from what can one’s strength be measured?" "So this is a journey to temper the Dao heart. "If one cannot endure the loneliness, then one dies here." There was no way back now. From the moment he stepped into this dead land, Lin Moyu lost all connection to the Word God Heaven and Earth. Since the day he obtained the Word God Heaven and Earth, this was the first time this had happened. It was not that the distance was too great, but that there was some strange power here. This power was different from laws; it was formless and without substance yet truly existed. Precisely because of it, he was completely cast into solitude. He could not contact the Word God Heaven and Earth, nor could he contact Little Tree. Even the Calamity Scepter in his hand and the Primal Chaos Gem had seemingly fallen into slumber. Within the spell world, the undead spirit soldiers had already sunk into sleep and could no longer be summoned. Lin Moyu tried to sense this formless power, but he could not feel it at all. Even with his keen soul exerting itself to the utmost, he could not glean the slightest information. All that could be said was that the level of this power was far too high, far beyond him. "In that case, let it be so." Although he was submerged in solitude, Lin Moyu’s Dao heart remained unshakably firm, and he continued toward his destination. One year... Ten years... A hundred years... He forgot time, forgot distance, forgot spells, forgot treasures, and even forgot heaven and earth. Only a single thought remained in Lin Moyu’s heart: reach the end. His Dao heart was unknowingly tempered stronger and stronger. He was not delighted by things, nor saddened by external matters, as if he had become a heaven and earth unto himself; wherever he was, there was heaven and earth. With one thought, heaven and earth were born. With one thought, heaven and earth perished. Life and death alike were contained in a single thought. His soul and body seemed to fuse more thoroughly, spirit and flesh merging as one and faintly reaching the peak. He did not know how long he flew, but the distance between himself and the light gradually shortened, until at last it was before his eyes. The Annihilation Power had grown denser, yet it still could not harm him. He did not need to use any technique at all; his flesh alone blocked all of the Annihilation Power. He believed that no one but himself could reach such a level. This was the foundation of his confidence. The Annihilation Power continued to grow stronger, eventually becoming like a storm, thick enough to be almost visible to the naked eye. Lin Moyu saw a gigantic storm formed of Annihilation Power, and the mass of light he sought lay within the storm. "At last... "I am here." ... Lin Moyu no longer remembered how long it had been since he last spoke. Not only had he not spoken, but even his thoughts seemed to have been paused at some point. He had forgotten time and become like a walking corpse with no thoughts, flying across endless void. Only the steadfastness of his Dao heart remained, guarding him. Now, finally at the destination, the walking corpse that had drifted for so many years came back to life. Without stopping, Lin Moyu charged into the storm, allowing the Annihilation Power to scour him and wash away all the mundane dust from his body. He used the Annihilation Power to cleanse and dust him off, completing the final step of tempering his Dao heart. From that moment on, his Dao heart became perfectly rounded and firm, without the slightest flaw. When the Dao heart had been fully tempered to great completion, a light spontaneously arose, shrouding his entire body and cutting off the Annihilation Power. The power of the Dao heart turned from illusory to real, protecting him all over. Insight rose within him: this lonely journey was precisely the final polishing of his Dao heart. If he had used other means, he might also have passed through, but the journey would have lost its meaning. Since ancient times, cultivation had always been such that realms were easy to cultivate while the Dao heart was hard to obtain. If this opportunity were missed, it would be too great a pity. Lin Moyu did not know what methods others had used; he only knew that he had not done wrong. The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign did not have the power of a Dao heart protecting his body, which clearly showed that the method he had used in the past was incorrect. Passing through the Annihilation Storm, Lin Moyu finally touched the mass of light. The instant his fingertip made contact, the Annihilation Storm vanished without a trace, and a divine mountain appeared ahead. The divine mountain emerged abruptly and without any sign, as though it had already existed there for countless years. A mountain path led up to the summit, and Lin Moyu began ascending step by step. This path was not long and contained no tests; it seemed to be an ordinary mountain road. Yet for some reason, as he walked, his memories churned. Lin Moyu watched his life from his birth right up to this moment. Even the faintest details of his earliest childhood memories clearly resurfaced at this time. However, Lin Moyu had been "born knowing" from the start; these memories had long since been understood when he cultivated and had never been forgotten. For other cultivators, though, this mountain road would be a road of restoration. Reliving the memories of a lifetime was like retracing one’s path of cultivation. On this road, all hidden and apparent injuries of body and soul would be completely healed. The marks of the years would also be wiped away, so that upon reaching the summit, one would inevitably be in their most peak state. Lin Moyu, however, was already in peak condition, so this "benefit" did not mean much to him. He climbed to the summit with ease. At the summit stood a great palace. Lin Moyu stepped inside. The palace seemed to have no roof; when he looked up, he saw infinite void. In the void, countless lights glimmered. These were not stars, but heavens and earth. Each point of light was a heaven and earth, and all of them were above the Seven Cycle level. It seemed that only heavens and earth above the Seven Cycle level were qualified to appear here as a tiny gleam. Among them, there were several dozen especially bright clusters. Compared with the others, they were clearly of a higher rank. "Primal Chaos Heavens and Earth." Lin Moyu was inwardly astonished. These especially bright clusters were precisely Primal Chaos Heavens and Earth. He recognized one of them very well. It emitted a faint purple glow and was exactly the Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign’s Primal Chaos Heaven and Earth. When he fixed his gaze upon the Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign’s Primal Chaos Heaven and Earth, the Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign suddenly appeared, and a cold laugh rang by his ear. "So you have finally come!" The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign was indeed not dead or more precisely, a remnant of his soul remained here. Lin Moyu looked at him with cold eyes. Without understanding the situation, he did not act rashly. The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign sneered. "Boy, you cannot kill this Emperor you will never be able to. "In the end, you will be just like this Emperor, trapped here for eternity, never to be free!" Lin Moyu’s brows furrowed slightly. He could see that the Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign was far from comfortable here. Though not dead, he seemed to be suffering worse than death. At this moment, several other figures appeared. Each of them carried an immensely powerful and noble aura; all were apex powerhouses from Primal Chaos Heavens and Earth. One of them held an illusory chessboard in his palm. "Welcome, young friend. "There seems to be the aura of the Living Beings’ Chess on your body." Lin Moyu’s heart stirred. "So this is the Living Beings’ Seat?"
