Chapter 3952: Come Up With a Name
One after another, the black shadows were refined and all became Origin Crystals, which Lin Moyu collected. In his ear, the Redstone Emperor's voice sounded with a hint of emotion: "Lin Friend, your methods for dealing with them are far beyond mine."
Lin Moyu replied, "Every force has its counter."
Without the World Burning Fire, handling them would not have been so easy. But with the World Burning Fire and the right approach, they could be dealt with effortlessly. The fire was the key; everything else was secondary. Even without the undead army or the Sword Dao Lich's help, just a single flame would suffice, and then he could simply leave. These black shadows couldn't escape, nor could they extinguish the World Burning Fire their only fate was to be refined.
The Redstone Emperor lacked the World Burning Fire and could only use his own power to confront them head on. Judging by the Sword Dao Lich's results, these shadows were tough and not easy to kill.
In just a short while, Lin Moyu continued as before, raising his realm inside the cavern and shattering the residual marks left within. The cavern was so deep and vast that it was a long task he spent over half a year clearing just one. Compared to refining the black shadows, this was painfully slow.
He entered the second cavern, which was even larger and deeper, with more black shadows. But for Lin Moyu, it made no difference; he used the same method a single blaze burned everything clean. The Redstone Emperor also cooperated, suppressing the shadows. In fact, his help didn't make much difference.
Lin Moyu harvested many Origin Crystals, then moved on to clearing the remaining claw marks. Altogether, it took 102 years to clear all the claw marks from the Redstone Emperor's true body.
When everything was finally done and Lin Moyu returned to the top of the giant stone, the Redstone Emperor was there to greet him. Seeing Lin Moyu, he clasped his fists and gave a formal human salute: "Thank you, Lin Friend, for your immense kindness."
Lin Moyu said, "There's no need for such formality, Emperor. I only did what I could."
The Redstone Emperor shook his head: "It may have only cost you some time, but for me, it means everything it's like a new life. Among humans, there is a saying: 'A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring.' I cannot repay this debt."
With that, he waved his hand, and the remaining nine pieces of Redstone flew out the ten pieces had been divided before, and now nine remained, all perfectly square and identical. The Redstone Emperor also produced a piece of purplish red stone. "All of this Redstone is for you, Lin Friend. Please don't refuse. As for this purple red stone, it can be used to contact me at any time if you need anything, just call and I'll come."
Before, their relationship was just good; now, the Redstone Emperor regarded Lin Moyu as a benefactor, and his attitude was completely different. This time, Lin Moyu didn't refuse he had earned it. "Then I'll accept it."
The Redstone Emperor said, "There's one thing to note: don't take out more than five pieces of Redstone at once in the vacuum between Great Spirit Domains."
Lin Moyu asked, "Why?"
The Redstone Emperor explained, "Actually, it's not just Redstone any innate origin treasure, if more than ten pieces appear together in a vacuum, is dangerous. Since these Redstone pieces are larger, don't exceed five at once, or you might attract a Great Dao Desolate Beast Emperor."
Lin Moyu said, "It's because of the Great Dao Origin Aura, right?"
The Redstone Emperor nodded: "Yes, that aura has many names some call it Great Dao Origin Aura, others Great Dao Qi, or Heaven and Earth Qi they all refer to the same thing. Innate origin treasures emit this aura, and when enough gathers, it attracts Desolate Beast Emperors. Those are eternal beings if they show up, it's a disaster for you."
Lin Moyu asked, "To be honest, I once used treasures to attract a Great Dao Desolate Beast King, but I didn't know why it happened. Why is it safe in a Great Spirit Domain, but not in the vacuum?"
The Redstone Emperor organized his thoughts: "Between the Soul Void and the Origin Ancestral Land is a thick layer of space, with many layers. Without a fixed point, you can easily get lost. The Great Dao Origin Aura can penetrate space and be sensed by Desolate Beasts, allowing them to locate you. In the Great Spirit Domain, innate origin treasures mask the aura, but in the vacuum, there's no such cover."
With this, Lin Moyu understood. "What if a Desolate Beast Emperor enters the Soul Void?"
The Redstone Emperor replied, "Then we Emperors must act to drive it out. It's happened a few times before, but they're fast before we can act, they often cause a lot of damage. The worst time, a Desolate Beast Emperor destroyed a thousand worlds in just three years about one per day."
Lin Moyu asked, "Why do they destroy worlds?"
The Redstone Emperor shook his head: "No one knows. They don't just destroy; they absorb worlds for some unknown purpose. Desolate Beast Emperors aren't very intelligent and act mostly on instinct. They're eternal beings impossible to kill, only to drive off or force into dormancy. Since we're all eternal, it's hard to force them into dormancy, and their nature makes it even harder. Driving them off is the best option."
Lin Moyu said, "I understand. I only want to summon Desolate Beast Kings."
The Redstone Emperor nodded, "With your ability, killing a Desolate Beast King shouldn't be hard, but don't kill too many or you'll attract karmic backlash. That could cause trouble."
Lin Moyu nodded in understanding. Desolate Beast Kings were about as strong as some Great Dao Lords, but for Lin Moyu, they were easier to kill they couldn't escape into the Origin Ancestral Land and could always be trapped. Even without the undead army, Lin Moyu was confident he could kill one now.
The Redstone Emperor changed the topic: "Over the years, I've seen your palm strike become more refined and your control over that level of power more precise. Have you named it yet?"
Lin Moyu shook his head, "I haven't thought about it. Names aren't that important."
The Redstone Emperor disagreed: "Names are important. If a technique's name is recognized by heaven and earth, it gains a mark, increasing its power and reducing its energy cost. If you pass it on, you can even gain the world's fortune from others practicing it. That's why every technique has a name and a story. Don't underestimate fortune if a technique spreads across countless worlds, the fortune gained could push someone to become a Great Dao Lord, or even reach eternity. Even if the Return to Origin Land is full, it's not impossible for new entries."
