Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3675: Asking Questions

Facing the Discernment Beast’s inquiry, Lin Moyu chose to answer affirmatively without hesitation. He said in a low voice: “I know that I might be touching on the biggest secret in this world. I want to know, but I wonder if you dare to tell me.”

The Discernment Beast laughed, its somewhat aged laughter tinged with a hint of resignation.

Above the small house, chaotic mist rose, and the Discernment Beast manipulated it with ease, enveloping the entire area.

The chaotic mist was incredibly dense, blocking sight and isolating the heavens and earth.

Lin Moyu asked: “Is this necessary?”

The Discernment Beast replied: “Just for my own comfort, to ease my mind. I always keep my word. Since you healed the little dragon, I will naturally tell you what I shouldn’t have said.”

“However, whatever consequences you face after hearing this, that’s your affair, not mine.”

Lin Moyu said: “Of course, I will take full responsibility for any consequences.”

The Discernment Beast gazed at the chaotic mist, and Lin Moyu followed its gaze. The mist churned and transformed, and a large gourd appeared in the void. The gourd was full of holes, with water flowing out of it.

Under the gourd, the chaotic mist condensed into small human figures.

This scene was familiar to Lin Moyu from his time in the Other Shore Realm.

The Discernment Beast said: “The place of origin?”

Lin Moyu’s heart was shaken, and he blurted out: “I have been to the place of origin, but it wasn’t like this.”

The Discernment Beast said: “I don’t know if you’ve been to the place of origin. Although I can hear across countless realms, I’m not always listening, and there are always gaps.”

“Perhaps what you saw and heard in the place of origin wasn’t the full picture.”

“Anyway, this is my answer regarding the origin of Ancestral Water.”

Lin Moyu asked in a low voice: “Did you see a white-robed old man in the place of origin?”

He was certain that the Discernment Beast’s “hearing” wasn’t just about sound; it could see through sound.

Upon hearing the words “white-robed old man,” the Discernment Beast trembled: “How did you know?”

Lin Moyu said: “I won’t hide it from you. I once saw him briefly. The Ancestral Water I have was given to me by him. He said we have a connection.”

The Discernment Beast laughed again, its laughter filled with resignation: “I’ve seen him too, but I was left with severe injuries, nearly dying.”

Fear filled the Discernment Beast’s voice.

Lin Moyu knew that the Discernment Beast must have seen something it shouldn’t have.

He had only met the white-robed old man once and felt that the old man was kind and not someone to inspire fear.

The Discernment Beast said: “Let’s stop here. Don’t mention this again.”

Lin Moyu understood that the Discernment Beast didn’t want to discuss Ancestral Water anymore. Although his question wasn’t fully answered, he had gained a clue.

It all pointed to the place of origin, a mysterious location hidden deep within the Origin Continent.

Perhaps his previous visit had only shown him a small part of it, and there were more secrets there.

Lin Moyu asked: “Is there another question I can ask?”

The Discernment Beast nodded: “You can ask, and I’ll set conditions.”

Lin Moyu asked: “Do you know of a world called Huaxia?”

From small worlds to large worlds, from the Origin Continent to the current Void Realm, Lin Moyu had many questions for the Discernment Beast, which could hear across countless realms.

One of them was about his own origins. Although he didn’t have much attachment to his past life, he still wanted to see it if possible.

He had once seen a world that seemed like Huaxia in the grand sights of the large world, where people walked on swords, contrasting sharply with the steel forest.

The Discernment Beast said: “I know. My condition is tea leaves.”

Lin Moyu was slightly surprised: “Tea leaves?”

The Discernment Beast said: “I want tea leaves better than those used for the Void Dao Tea, along with better water for brewing.”

Lin Moyu quickly understood and took out some leaves from the World Tree and some sap from the Golden and Silver Trees: “Will these meet your expectations?”

The Discernment Beast’s eyes lit up, and it said in a deep voice: “Yes!”

Seeing its reaction, Lin Moyu realized something was off, but he didn’t say anything immediately. Instead, he handed over the World Tree leaves and the Golden and Silver Tree sap: “Since they’re acceptable, please tell me.”

The Discernment Beast said: “The Void Realm reflects countless worlds. There are not just one but several worlds called Huaxia. Do you have more information?”

Lin Moyu said: “The Huaxia world I’m talking about has a country called Longguo. Their writing is like this.”

As he spoke, Lin Moyu drew a few characters: “The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao.”

The Discernment Beast looked at these characters: “According to what you said, there are three such worlds.”

“These three worlds are all located within the Jianmu Great Soul Domain, not far from each other, within the same small soul domain.”

“I can give you the specific location, but if you want to go to the Jianmu Great Soul Domain, it will be somewhat difficult.”

Lin Moyu asked: “What’s the difficulty?”

The Discernment Beast replied: “Firstly, the Great Soul Domain is so named because it is governed by innate treasures. At the edge of the Great Soul Domain, there’s a barrier similar to a world screen that only a first-rate soul can pass.”

“Secondly, once you leave the Great Soul Domain, you enter the Wanda True Void. This is different from the true void areas within the Great Soul Domain. It’s full of dangers, and even small soul domain kings can easily fall.”

“Lastly, in the Wanda True Void, there is no direction. Finding your way to Jianmu won’t be easy.”

“These three points are the difficulties. Most small soul domain kings know this, so they don’t set conditions for going there.”

Lin Moyu asked: “Is there a safe way to reach the Jianmu Great Soul Domain?”

The Discernment Beast chuckled and set a condition: “A spirit flower!”

Lin Moyu didn’t hesitate and immediately handed over a spirit flower. He had plenty of them, and exchanging one for an answer was a good deal.

The Discernment Beast said: “Emperors can cross the Wanda True Void using innate treasures. If you really want to go, you can try to find an emperor and ask for help. But whether it succeeds or not, I don’t know.”

“I can tell you something for free: according to your world’s timeline, the emperors should be busy for the next ten thousand years. The Nine Treasures Resonance has just ended, and they are preoccupied.”

Ten thousand years… This exceeded Lin Moyu’s expectations.

Fortunately, returning to his past life wasn’t urgent.

Lin Moyu continued to ask: “Next question, there was once a treasure called the Shennian Tower, owned by someone named Meng Anwen. Do you know where he is now?”

As soon as this question was asked, the Discernment Beast’s expression changed abruptly, its eyes becoming sharp and dangerous. Lin Moyu met its gaze and could sense the unease within.

After a moment, the Discernment Beast slowly uttered two words: “I don’t know.”
