Chapter 3995: 3995 Chapter 3995: The Myriad Spirits Secret Art To his surprise, when the writing and runes combined, a secret art was directly revealed: [Spirit Control Art: Can control the spirits of worlds.] The name and function of the art were simple and straightforward, just a few words, with no further details. Lin Moyu knew that to get more information, he would have to choose this art. If he chose it, that would be the end according to the Discernment Beast, everyone could only choose one secret art from the Myriad Marvels Stele. Lin Moyu did not choose Spirit Control Art. He mused, "If I’m right, the Human Sovereign only lit up the writing and part of the runes, and obtained the Soul Seizing Art. Spirit Control Art should be a step further. Soul Seizing Art lets you seize the spirit of a world and make it your ally or subordinate, but you can’t fully control it." What the world calls the "world will" is called the "spirit of the world" in the Myriad Marvels Stele just different names for the same thing. Lin Moyu had learned from the Discernment Beast about the Supreme Spirit Art and knew that Soul Seizing Art lets you occupy a world and make its will your ally. But this ally sometimes has its own ideas and doesn’t always obey though it won’t betray you, it just won’t always listen. Spirit Control Art goes a step further, allowing you to completely control the world will, making it obey your every command. "Spirit Control Art is a step beyond Soul Seizing Art, but the two should be used together: seize the world will, then control it. These two arts are a set, and there should be more." Lin Moyu was curious to see if a new secret art would appear after all the patterns were lit. He realized he didn’t see Soul Seizing Art because he already had it the stele sensed it in his soul, so it didn’t show up again. He kept pouring in soul power, now far beyond what a Dao Lord should possess. Lin Moyu doubted anyone else in this world could do this only he could. After another day, all the patterns lit up. The floating Spirit Control Art changed: [Spirit Annihilation Art: Can destroy the spirit of a world.] A new art appeared Spirit Annihilation Art, for dealing with world spirits. Soul Seizing Art and Spirit Control Art are for controlling world wills; Spirit Annihilation Art is for destroying them. This can mean destroying your own controlled world will, or more likely, destroying someone else’s. "The first two arts are for occupying and controlling, the last for destruction. I feel like this set isn’t complete there should be more." He kept injecting soul power. After the patterns, his power began to flow into the entire stele, which started to glow. Lin Moyu realized that lighting the patterns wasn’t the end the real goal was to light up the entire Myriad Marvels Stele. Based on the rate of soul power consumption and the speed the stele brightened, it would take about a hundred times the soul power of an ordinary Dao Lord to fully light it. Only someone like the Kunlun Emperor, who took a half step beyond eternity, could have that kind of power. But once you take that step, you no longer belong in this world a contradiction. After another day, the stele was finally fully lit. It hummed, radiating endless power. The writing, runes, and patterns seemed to move, weaving together into countless marvelous arts. As Lin Moyu watched, dazzled, the previous Spirit Control Art and Spirit Annihilation Art disappeared, replaced by a new art: [Myriad Spirits Secret Art] A smile appeared on Lin Moyu’s lips. "That’s more like it!" Just as he thought, Soul Seizing Art, Spirit Control Art, etc., were all branches of one set: the Myriad Spirits Secret Art. At last, after lighting the entire stele, he obtained the complete Myriad Spirits Secret Art. With a thought, the four characters for Myriad Spirits Secret Art entered his mind, sinking into his soul and becoming a true secret art. A flood of information exploded in his soul, which Lin Moyu quickly absorbed and understood. The Myriad Spirits Secret Art is a complete set, containing five arts: Spirit Creation Art, Soul Seizing Art, Spirit Control Art, Spirit Nurturing Art, and Spirit Annihilation Art. The Human Sovereign only got Soul Seizing Art not much by comparison. The five arts work together, and only by using them in concert can you unleash their full power. Spirit Creation Art can create a world spirit. Some worlds lack a world spirit, but with Spirit Creation Art, you can gather the world’s power to create one even if there are no living beings. A world with no life but a world spirit can, under the spirit’s guidance, evolve and give birth to new life. Combined with Spirit Control Art, you can shape the world, its beings, and its cultivation system however you wish. Soul Seizing Art is less powerful; it requires a world already in the spirit birthing stage, and lets you seize control of its will. The world will becomes your ally or subordinate, but you can’t fully control it. The Myriad Spirits Secret Art also includes Spirit Nurturing Art, which can nurture the world will, making it stronger and helping it quickly form and even reach eternity. Most importantly, with Spirit Nurturing Art, the world will can attempt eternity without sacrificing the world’s living beings. The art stresses that both the world will and the world’s living beings are important, and their strength is interdependent. Sacrificing the world’s beings for eternity is the lowest method and should not be used. The Myriad Spirits Secret Art calls the world will the "world spirit," and the beings within the world are also called "spirits." The two are mutually supportive, not a relationship of use and exploitation. Lin Moyu completely agreed with the Myriad Spirits Secret Art its creator was a genius, greater than any he’d ever seen. The art’s creator had already surpassed eternity. The final and strongest art in the set is Spirit Annihilation Art. Spirit Annihilation can be used not only against other world wills, but also to destroy your own. This is necessary because sometimes a world will can betray, become corrupted, or otherwise go wrong and need to be purged. Thus, the art includes a balancing method.
