Chapter 4121: 4121 Chapter 4121: Measuring the Hengduan Mountains The formation that was destroyed this time was not complicated Lin Moyu restored it in less than half an hour. At the same time, a large number of undead servants flew toward the Dao Cloud tens of thousands of li away. On the battlefield of heaven and earth, the sky is vast and the land broad. In the outer battlefield, several thousand li above the ground, there is a thick layer of clouds. These are not Dao Clouds, but clouds of filth formed from the dregs of countless Daos. When enough filth clouds gather, they form a filth tide. Once they pass the Hengduan Mountains, the filth clouds dissipate, replaced by the higher and broader Dao Cloud. The Dao Cloud is more than ten thousand li above the ground, dense as a swamp, and supposedly becomes even denser and more tangled the deeper you go, eventually turning into a web of cotton like threads. Within, countless Dao forces intertwine in utter chaos. This is somewhat similar to certain places in the Void Realm, but even more extreme. Even Eternals, upon entering the Dao Cloud, find their power greatly diminished and their ability to control their Dao severely limited. The deeper into the Dao Cloud, the worse it gets no one knows what lies at its heart. When the undead servants entered the Dao Cloud, like other Eternals, their power dropped sharply. Lin Moyu’s connection with them weakened rapidly; after they had flown a hundred thousand li into the Dao Cloud, the connection was barely there, almost impossible to control. Lin Moyu could only recall them and look for other ways to explore. He gazed at the Dao Cloud. Beside him, An Yuyan’s clear voice sounded: "What are you looking at, Daoist Lin?" Lin Moyu replied, "I’m wondering what’s on the other side of the Dao Cloud." An Yuyan shook her head, "No one knows. None of us have ever been there." Lin Moyu said, "If I get the chance, I want to see for myself." An Yuyan said, "If anyone could do it, it would be you, Daoist Lin." Lin Moyu smiled, "I’ll take that as a blessing." Though he didn’t know what was beyond the Dao Cloud, Lin Moyu had a faint sense that he would go there someday he was destined to. The Lord of Power asked, "So what do we do next? We can’t just stay on the defensive forever." Lin Moyu said, "Of course not. We only need a little more time soon the Great Wilderness will be in total chaos. I’ll make some arrangements, and next time that guy comes, maybe we can teach him a lesson. Daoist Yuyan, please walk with me through the Hengduan Mountains." An Yuyan readily agreed, leading Lin Moyu as he surveyed the mountains. Lin Moyu wanted to set a small trap, one related to the mountain’s formations. But first, he needed to understand every formation in the Hengduan Mountains in detail. For most, this would take centuries, but for Lin Moyu, it was quick one glance let him understand a formation’s details and how to link them into a whole. The Lord of Power returned to his palace to roast meat and drink wine. Two days later, a streak of light shot into his hall. The Lord of Power grinned, "Old Yin head, you’re back!" The "Old Yin head" was the Lord of the Earth Yin Dao, whose origin was a piece of Earth Yin Stone, born at the dawn of heaven and earth, bathed in the primordial lunar essence, and eventually gaining intelligence and cultivating the Earth Yin Dao to become Eternal. He was a master of formations most of the Hengduan Mountains’ formations were his work. But since he achieved Eternity through the Earth Yin Dao, he could not become the Formation Dao Lord, though his formation skills surpassed even the official Formation Dao Lord. Old Yin head was not polite he sat across from the Lord of Power, grabbed a jug of wine, and poured it over his head, drinking as he did. His true form was stone, so this was his way of drinking. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎 The Lord of Power protested, "Hey, that’s a million year old Dao Spirit Wine! Don’t waste it!" Old Yin head ignored him, finishing the jug in one go and burping contentedly. "You sent word there was trouble, so I broke my seclusion to come. But it looks fine to me." The Lord of Power protested, "How can you say that? A natural formation was smashed isn’t that trouble?" Old Yin head was shocked. "Impossible! How could a natural formation be destroyed?" He would believe a man made formation could be broken, but natural formations, created by heaven and earth, had never collapsed in all these years. The thousand natural formations in the Hengduan Mountains were the core; the rest were just embellishments. Old Yin head didn’t believe it, but checked his formations and said, "I don’t sense any broken formations. Don’t try to fool me." The Lord of Power retorted, "I’m not lying come see for yourself." He dragged Old Yin head to the Origin Mountain Lin Moyu had just restored. "Here it is! The mountain was shattered, and we only just fixed it." Old Yin head immediately noticed something was off. "The mountain has been repaired, and the primordial Dao energy is still recovering, but the formation..." He saw the natural formation had been altered, and the work was extremely skillful possibly even better than his own. He frowned, his face twisting. "Tell me exactly what happened." The Lord of Power recounted the events. When he heard Lin Moyu had rebuilt the natural formation, Old Yin head was incredulous. If a natural formation could be rebuilt by hand, it wasn’t truly natural. Natural formations were powerful because they were made by heaven and earth man made formations, no matter how strong, were fundamentally different. But the Lord of Power wouldn’t lie. Old Yin head examined the formation closely, his eyes brightening with excitement. "Marvelous! This formation is brilliantly done almost as good as the original, at least ninety five percent restored. The rest hardly matters." The Lord of Power asked, "So how does this kid’s formation skill compare to yours?" Old Yin head said, "Judging by this, he’s probably surpassed me. Where is he? I want to meet him and discuss formations." The Lord of Power replied, "Daoist Yuyan is showing him around the mountains. I’ll take you to him." Old Yin head said, "No need I’ll find him myself." ... In the Hengduan Mountains, Lin Moyu was surveying the land and remarked, "The senior who set up these formations is quite skilled." An Yuyan laughed, "Just ’quite skilled’?" Lin Moyu said, "Yes he’s better than the Formation Dao Lord. You can see from these formations how quickly he improved, going from novice to master as he worked. But he got lazy and didn’t redo his earliest formations." Suddenly, several formations activated around them, and the world seemed to fold in layers mountains and strange stones came alive before their eyes.
