Chapter 3964: Seeking Cause, Asking Effect
Suddenly, Little Python shouted, "Master, Void Kunlun!"
The Void Kunlun Great Spirit Domain, which had disappeared for a month, reappeared this time in a completely different location. Lin Moyu's expression grew serious. At the same moment Void Kunlun appeared, the red line he'd been following along the Great Dao abruptly shifted direction, now pointing straight to the newly appeared Void Kunlun.
Doubt filled Lin Moyu's heart. "How could this be?"
What was happening defied comprehension. The red line pointed to the source of the Great Dao in truth, the Origin Ancestral Land. Even if Void Kunlun could change its position, the Origin Ancestral Land shouldn't move unless Void Kunlun was carrying the Origin Ancestral Land with it. There was no other explanation.
Little Python didn't think that deeply. "It vanished for so long why did it suddenly reappear? Master, should we go take a look?"
Lin Moyu nodded slightly. "Let's go have a look, but just to the edge don't go in."
Little Python immediately flew to the border of Void Kunlun. Lin Moyu reached out to touch the boundary. Unlike other spirit domains, Void Kunlun was completely sealed its boundary was as hard as metal.
Lin Moyu applied a bit of force. Instantly, an overwhelming power blasted him, sending him flying hundreds of miles.
Little Python turned in surprise. "Master, what happened?"
It hadn't sensed Lin Moyu do anything, yet he was suddenly flung away.
Lin Moyu said, "Back up!"
Little Python obediently retreated far, far away.
Lin Moyu gathered himself and struck with a palm. Although it wasn't the Great Dao World Extinguishing Palm, as a Dao Lord, his palm was still powerful. The strike hit the domain's boundary with a thunderous boom, but the palm print rebounded at ten times the speed, locking onto Lin Moyu with a force tied to causality ordinary methods couldn't dodge it. He managed to evade to the side, but the rebounding palm still struck him, sending him flying millions of miles.
Little Python hurried after him, worried. "Master, are you alright?"
Lin Moyu shook his head. "I'm fine. I'll try again. You go even farther back much farther."
Little Python knew Lin Moyu was getting serious and retreated even further.
From millions of miles away, Lin Moyu observed Void Kunlun. The force that had rebounded at him was about a hundred times his own attack, and it was locked by cause and effect. He had countless undead servants to share the damage, so he wasn't worried about injury but the next strike might be different.
Origin Secret Art: Gather Power!
His aura soared, breaking through the Dao Lord realm, the Great Dao shining brilliantly before him.
"Great Dao World Extinguishing Palm!"
He struck with only thirty percent of his strength he dared not use full force, lest the rebound destroy him. This was just a test; thirty percent was enough to see the domain's reaction, especially since his power surpassed the eternal level.
Boom!
The palm landed on the Void Kunlun boundary this time, there was no rebound. The boundary absorbed all the force, and the entire domain trembled, then vanished again.
"It's gone again!" Little Python cried, baffled.
Lin Moyu frowned. Once again, Void Kunlun had vanished without leaving a trace. As it disappeared, the red line abruptly changed direction this time, pointing somewhere completely different from before. Lin Moyu realized that following the Great Dao's power to find the Origin Ancestral Land or Void Kunlun was unrealistic.
"It seems it's true Void Kunlun isn't just sealed, it's also untraceable."
According to the Redstone Emperor, after Void Kunlun was sealed, only he could enter because of his special relationship with the Kunlun Emperor, who left him a way in. For everyone else, whether Emperor or eternal cultivator, entry was impossible.
Lin Moyu was resigned. "I'd hoped to find Void Kunlun with my own skills, but it's not possible."
He took out the Spirit Domain Disk from the Redstone Emperor. Its indicated direction for Void Kunlun was completely different from the red line's. Lin Moyu trusted the disk more than his own red line, but he was curious why the discrepancy?
He pulled out the Cause Seeking Ring, a treasure given to him by the Three Lives Buddha Lord, though the latter had been reluctant to part with it. The ring's purpose was to seek cause and ask effect, and now was the perfect time to use it.
Injecting his soul power, the ring activated, expanding in the void. Lin Moyu focused his mind: "Seek cause, ask effect!"
A light screen appeared within the ring, showing a scene: a Great Spirit Domain Void Kunlun flickering in and out of existence. Then a second, a third Void Kunlun appeared. Dozens of Void Kunluns appeared across the world, each identical. After a while, some vanished and others appeared elsewhere. The domains kept shifting, their number and location constantly changing. Only one domain remained unchanged from beginning to end.
"Projections!"
Lin Moyu instantly understood all the Void Kunluns he'd encountered were projections. The projections were so real they fooled even his senses. His red line pointed to the nearest projection, while the Spirit Domain Disk pointed to the true body of Void Kunlun.
"This must be the Kunlun Emperor's doing using projections to distract the curious. What a brilliant trick, even I was fooled."
If not for the Spirit Domain Disk, he'd never have found the real Void Kunlun. If not for the Cause Seeking Ring, he'd never have understood what was happening. Now, he finally understood.
Suddenly, Lin Moyu felt a wave of weakness, an urge to sleep. Little Python's anxious cries echoed in his ears as his consciousness faded and his soul silently disintegrated.
In a flash of purple light, his soul was reborn. Lin Moyu awoke, startled. "I didn't expect the price of seeking cause and effect to be so steep."
Soul annihilation was the cost after all, he'd glimpsed such a grand secret, so the price was fitting. He was long used to soul collapse; this was nothing new.
He put away the Cause Seeking Ring and headed in the direction indicated by the Spirit Domain Disk, toward the true Void Kunlun.
On the way, Little Python couldn't help but ask, "What's in Void Kunlun that it has to be sealed up?"
Lin Moyu shook his head. "It can't be anything peaceful. Even the Redstone Emperor was injured and got into trouble there and that was ages ago. After all these eons, the danger inside must be even greater."
Little Python was startled. "Wow, even an Emperor got hurt? Master, do we really have to go?"
Lin Moyu glanced at it. "You don't have to go."
