Chapter 4061: The Great Battle of Burial Dao Valley

Faced with Lin Moyu’s question, Xuan Zhenzi shook his head. “The situation back then was very special. The eternal beings were all tied up elsewhere, and the Dao Wild Beasts launched an unprecedented full scale assault against us.”

“And all of this was because of this…”

Xuan Zhenzi pointed to the cracked earth. Beneath the ground was a lake not very large, only about ten li in diameter, visible at a glance. Yet the lake gave Lin Moyu an unusual feeling, especially the calmness of its waters. The sensation was hard to describe it seemed as if the water was made of Great Dao Origin Energy, which should be pure, yet the lake was also filled with impurities. The simultaneous presence of purity and filth puzzled Lin Moyu.

Xuan Zhenzi said, “Do you know the origin of the Dao Wild Beasts?”

Lin Moyu replied, “We know that Dao Wild Beasts are formed from Dao impurities, the waste of the Daos, but their souls are born pure from the filth a classic example of extremes reversing.”

Xuan Zhenzi nodded. “You’re not wrong, but their root is still the Great Dao Origin. Strictly speaking, this whole world comes from the Great Dao Origin. I’m not sure what you call it, but we referred to it as the Great Dao Origin.”

Shengxin said, “We’ve heard of the Great Dao Origin, but never seen it. It’s said to exist within the Origin Mountains.”

Lin Moyu took out a drop of Great Dao Origin Energy. “Is this what you mean, senior?”

Xuan Zhenzi smiled. “Yes, that’s the Great Dao Origin the beginning of all things. All Daos come from this, with its essence evolving into the myriad Daos and forming the world. The waste becomes the Dao Wasteland, which in turn evolves into pools of filth. When enough filth accumulates, pure souls are born from it and combine with bodies formed in the filth pools, creating Dao Wild Beasts. The Dao impurities sink into the earth, forming rivers of filth that converge into filth pools.”

“And the lake below us is one such filth pool.”

Lin Moyu had never seen a filth pool before and was puzzled. “If this is a filth pool, why does it contain Great Dao Origin Energy?”

Xuan Zhenzi replied, “That’s our doing.”

Lin Moyu was skeptical how could Dao Lords create Great Dao Origin Energy?

Xuan Zhenzi saw his doubt and explained, “It was our work, but not entirely. We discovered this filth pool was special it couldn’t form the bodies of Dao Wild Beasts or absorb their souls, but we could still study it. After a million years of little progress, we accidentally tossed a Heaven and Earth Spirit Demon into the pool, and it transformed part of the filth into Great Dao Origin Energy. This was a huge discovery.”

“The Great Dao Origin is extremely useful it can be used for cultivation, to comprehend the roots of the Dao, and even to glimpse eternity. We wondered: if Spirit Demons could transform filth pools, could they be used to control the Dao Wild Beasts? We never thought we could eradicate them, as they’re a product of the Dao and can’t be destroyed, but if we could control them, life would be much easier.”

“So we began experimenting here, and every day brought new results.”

Xuan Zhenzi fell into reminiscence, recounting every detail. After so many years, the memory was still vivid, showing how deeply it was etched in his mind.

They found that Spirit Demons could transform filth pools, so they sought out more and more of them. At first, there weren’t many people involved, but more Dao Lords joined over time, some staying in the Origin Ancestral Land for tens of thousands of years. Through repeated experiments, they confirmed that Spirit Demons could indeed transform filth pools, but only for a while constant addition of Spirit Demons was needed for control. All the Dao Lords believed that if Heaven and Earth left a sliver of hope, the Spirit Demons were it.

But they didn’t realize they were creating a huge danger. After adding ten thousand Spirit Demons, the filth pool stopped changing, as if it had solidified. It no longer weakened, but now contained both Great Dao Origin Energy and Dao impurities two opposites coexisting.

A Dao Lord dove into the pool to investigate and discovered a new life form, a hybrid of Dao Wild Beast and Spirit Demon strange, yet distinct. After discussion, they decided to observe what would happen, since it was their own creation.

Xuan Zhenzi sighed, “We made a mistake that doomed us all.”

They waited ten thousand years. When the creature was finally born, the world shook and all Daos resonated. They thought Heaven and Earth was celebrating, not realizing it was a warning. The creature possessed a special power, spreading along the underground rivers of filth and transforming other filth pools to have the same properties. They were overjoyed, thinking they could transform all the filth pools and cut off the source of Dao Wild Beasts.

But they didn’t realize that the closer the creature got to a true filth pool, the weaker it became the pools resisted transformation. Eventually, one filth pool did change, and at that moment, the entire battlefield shifted.

The change triggered the Dao Wild Beasts to go berserk all the Beast Emperors moved out at once. At the time, only two eternal beings were guarding the inner battlefield; they held off four Beast Emperors, but three broke through.

At the same time, the Spirit Demons attacked. No one had realized how many there were or how strong they could be.

Xuan Zhenzi smiled bitterly. “Maybe we captured too many Spirit Demons, or maybe it was our karma. The Beast Emperors led the Dao Wild Beasts, allied with the Spirit Demons, and attacked us with full force.”

Lin Moyu couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t you retreat back then?”
