Chapter 4058: Enlightenment in the Filth Tide
They were not people from the same world; sooner or later, Lin Moyu would soar higher, becoming an existence out of reach. If she tried to force herself to keep up, she would be torn apart by the winds of the heavens. It was best to stop here, to turn back before the cliff perhaps not a bad thing at all.
This subtle shift in her heart also affected Shengxin. A smile appeared in her eyes, and with her feelings for Lin Moyu set aside, Shengxin realized that being friends with him was actually quite nice. Her heart was simple and pure, without much scheming, and she acted selflessly. That was why she was respected by so many Great Dao Lords.
She did not disturb Lin Moyu, just quietly watched him.
Lin Moyu continued drawing divine runes, constantly illuminating the Dao Flowers in Burial Dao Valley. When Shengxin flew into the air, she finally understood what Lin Moyu was doing.
"We never realized after all these years that the Dao Flowers contained such a secret."
Although she didn't understand the runes, she could sense that there must be hidden mysteries within them. Over the years, they had come and gone countless times, always thinking Burial Dao Valley was just a relic left by their predecessors.
"Daoist Lin really is clever," Shengxin thought to herself. She didn't think the other Great Dao Lords were stupid Lin Moyu was just too smart.
Lin Moyu's visual displays were dazzling, and even if Shengxin didn't fully understand, she could still appreciate their brilliance. The runes contained a special charm, each one imbued with a Great Dao, mesmerizing Shengxin.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and the filth tide arrived.
Shengxin was oblivious to it, already lost in the runes woven by the Dao Flowers.
Lin Moyu suddenly stopped, looked at Shengxin, and sent her a message: "Daoist Shengxin, you can wake up now."
He had naturally noticed Shengxin's arrival.
Receiving the message, Shengxin woke from her immersion in the Dao, a slight blush on her face. "I got lost in it without realizing."
Lin Moyu smiled. "That's normal. Daoist Shengxin is close to the Dao, so you can sense the Dao charm within. Did you feel your predecessor's presence here?"
Shengxin's expression grew serious. "I did."
Over six hundred Dao Lords had fallen here, including the former Lord of the Life Great Dao, Shengxin's predecessor. If that person hadn't died, Shengxin would never have become the Lord of the Life Great Dao there can only be one Dao Lord per Dao, and the successor cannot ascend unless the predecessor steps down. Shengxin felt many emotions, but mostly regret for her predecessor.
Lin Moyu said, "Your predecessor left her insights into the Dao here. They may help you. After this beast tide, I'll help you experience them."
Shengxin's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Daoist Lin."
Lin Moyu smiled. "No need to be polite. For now, the filth tide is here let's go observe it."
Shengxin was puzzled. "Why go into the filth tide?"
Lin Moyu replied, "You'll understand when we get there."
Shengxin trusted Lin Moyu and followed him out of Burial Dao Valley, facing the filth tide directly.
The filth tide had arrived. Impurities transformed from Dao residue danced in the air, wave after wave crashing down. Lin Moyu stood calmly in the filth tide, while Shengxin was a bit nervous. A faint light surrounded her, protecting her from the filth. She had entered filth tides before as had all Great Dao Lords and knew the filth could pollute the soul and harm cultivation. Using Dao power could resist it to some extent.
Lin Moyu said, "Don't use Dao power. Try using your Dao heart to resist."
Shengxin chose to trust him, withdrew her Dao power, and relied on her Dao heart. Her heart was pure and resolute, so the filth tide couldn't pollute her, though she still felt a trace of unease.
Lin Moyu said, "There's a great secret hidden in the filth tide. You must comprehend it with your heart. If you understand, you may one day open the gate to eternity."
Shengxin instinctively asked, "What secret?"
Lin Moyu replied, "The secret lies in the tiny lights born from the filth tide."
Within the filth tide, tiny lights constantly emerged these were the souls of Dao Wild Beasts. Compared to the chaotic filth, the souls born from it were pure and untouched.
Following Lin Moyu's advice, Shengxin watched the lights, but felt little. She didn't doubt him, only thinking she wasn't sensitive enough.
Lin Moyu's voice sounded in her ear: "All things in heaven and earth are a balance of yin and yang, without exception. The filth tide can pollute the soul, but it can also temper the Dao heart. Have you ever wondered why the souls born in the filth tide are so pure, and what that means?"
What does it mean?
Shengxin, being intelligent, caught a hint from Lin Moyu's words.
Lin Moyu continued, "If you plant a tree, you need to water it and give it sunlight. But too much water drowns it, too much sun scorches it. Daoist Shengxin, you cultivate the Life Great Dao you can heal and save, but if the Life Dao reaches its extreme, it can become poison."
Shengxin's eyes lit up. "You mean, when something reaches its extreme, it turns into its opposite?"
Lin Moyu smiled. "Not exactly, but close. Everything in the world is like this, which is why the purest souls are born in the filth tide. Dao Wild Beasts have the filthiest bodies and the purest souls a profound truth revealed by heaven and earth."
Shengxin fell into deep contemplation. Lin Moyu's words opened a door for her, showing her another world.
A ball of white light appeared in her palm, filled with life force and vitality. The light grew stronger, the life force reaching its peak. Shengxin gathered all her Dao power into her palm. If this light exploded in a world, every living thing would be bathed in the Life Dao and all injuries healed.
But Shengxin continued to gather Life Dao power, pushing past the limit. After a moment, a sound like a bursting balloon rang out the light shattered. Instead of life force, a terrifying, destructive power burst out, filled with poison. Below the Dao realm, a touch would kill. Even Great Dao Lords would be gravely threatened.
Shengxin was shocked. "This is the reversal at the extreme but I can't control this power."
The deadly poison she had created spread outward, some of it rushing toward Lin Moyu. Shengxin cried, "Daoist Lin, be careful!"
Lin Moyu was unconcerned. With a wave of his hand, the power of death surged out, instantly corroding all the deadly life force.
