Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 4135: Once Narrow Minded

As Lin Moyu traveled through the filth current, he suddenly stopped, sensing a change in the Soulless Beast and realizing what had happened.

“We were outmaneuvered. I still underestimated the intelligence of the Beast Emperors. Their wisdom isn’t quite what Yuyan and the others described over the years, the Beast Emperors must have been constantly evolving. This evolution might not be natural; it could be due to rare treasures or some special formation.”

From various details, Lin Moyu deduced several possibilities. He realized the Beast Emperors’ intelligence had always been evolving, and after countless years, it had likely reached an extremely high level. There had to be a reason for this, and he would know once he reached the true core region.

This was where his mastery of formations became invaluable. Using the layout of the 108 filth pools and the three special pools found in the core, he could deduce the general structure of the formation. Now, moving through the filth current and analyzing its flow, the natural formation became even clearer. Through this analysis, Lin Moyu could reverse engineer the formation and pinpoint the true core.

A large formation always has a main node and several secondary nodes. None of the pools he’d seen whether royal, king, or special were the main node. There was still a core node in this formation. Even Old Yin head hadn’t noticed this, but Lin Moyu had. He believed all the secrets of the wild beasts would be found at that main node.

He didn’t worry about the Soulless Beast; it was smart enough to make its own choices. Without it and Tun Yuan drawing the wild beasts’ attention, he had to be even more careful.

Continuing along the filth current, Lin Moyu used the changes in its density to judge his progress. He soon reached a royal pool, where the filth was three times as dense, and the corrosion of his formation increased dramatically divine runes snapped every few seconds and needed constant repair, but this was manageable for him.

After passing the royal pool, Lin Moyu noticed that large amounts of filth current were converging in one direction.

“A special pool?”

He followed the flow and soon arrived at an underground cavern, about a hundred meters wide and high, where the filth current pooled into a shallow lake just a meter deep. But beneath this lake was a natural formation. Here, the Dao filth was refined again, becoming even purer, then a thin stream would rise from the lake, sending the refined filth up to a special pool above the cavern.

Lin Moyu hid and observed, confirming that the pool above was one of the special pools he’d seen earlier. There were three special pools: one was already dried up, its mutated beast fully formed; the other two still contained developing mutated beasts. The pool above was the dried one.

This scene revealed to Lin Moyu how the special pools were formed. Dao filth entered the Great Wilderness, and as it passed through a royal pool, some was absorbed and refined, then expelled to continue along the current. When it reached this cavern, the natural formation refined it further, making it even purer, and some of that formed the special pool. The filth in the special pool was nearly at its purest, able to support a mutated beast’s evolution to another extreme.

Thus, nine royal pools corresponded to nine special pools just as Lin Moyu had deduced from the formation. But at the other end of the cavern, wisps of even purer Dao filth stretched away fewer in number but of unmatched purity, surpassing even the special pools. This filth could at any moment reach the opposite extreme, fulfilling the principle of “extremes meet,” and become the purest Dao power.

Dao filth came in grades: ordinary, king pool, royal pool, special pool, and now this ultra pure type. Each step up meant a tenfold increase in purity, an unimaginable gap.

Lin Moyu didn’t know where this ultra pure filth was headed, but its direction pointed to the formation’s true main node. At this point, he could sketch out the entire formation: nine royal pools, nine special pools, and nine caverns like this, all refining and purifying filth to the utmost and sending it toward a single point.

Who knows how many years this process had been underway, or how much Dao filth had been gathered a truly astronomical amount.

Lin Moyu crossed the lake, following the ultra pure filth toward the main node. As he touched this filth, he couldn’t help but feel shocked. It was so pure it exceeded his imagination no longer chaotic or cursed, but the very essence of filth. He realized: when filth reaches its utmost, it becomes a kind of purity.

Curse is a combination of chaos and filth; when filth reaches its limit and chaos disappears, the curse vanishes too, replaced by something even more terrifying. His own formation shattered upon contact with this pure filth.

Lin Moyu was certain that the Lord of Curses must have seen the special pools but had never encountered this ultra pure filth. If he had, he might have been forced into dormancy on the spot.

Lin Moyu had a revelation: “Any force, when pushed to the limit, becomes terrifying. Dao power is like this, and so is filth. This has surpassed the Dao, reaching another level. It should have reached an extreme, but instead it’s gone beyond its own limit, reaching a new extreme.”

He realized he had once been too narrow minded. When a force reaches an extreme, it can transition to another extreme and become stronger that’s the principle of “extremes meet.” He’d understood this early on; his Immortality Great Dao excelled at it. But now he saw that when a force reaches its extreme, it doesn’t have to transition it can transcend itself, surpassing the imagined limit and moving toward an even greater ultimate.

This was another path a path beyond the world’s Daos, one Lin Moyu had never considered. It broadened his perspective: what he thought was the limit was not the true limit. That was only the limit of this world’s Daos, not the limit of a force itself.

At that moment, a word came to Lin Moyu’s mind: “Transcendence!”
