Chapter 4382: Sooner Is Better Than Later
Chaos Child couldn't say exactly why he wanted to stay in Ancient Desolation for a while, but since he was so insistent, Lin Moyu naturally obliged. After waiting a bit, the Calamity Crossing Boat finally stabilized. Lin Moyu brought Chaos Child into the real world, and then carefully disembarked from the boat.
Standing atop the Calamity Crossing Boat, Lin Moyu was ready at any moment to dive back in.
With his current strength, he could handle almost none of the dangers in Ancient Desolation.
He wasn't afraid of death, but that didn't mean he wanted to die.
Chaos Child flew from Lin Moyu's hand and, without any restraint, darted into Ancient Desolation as if he had no fear of the dangers lurking there.
He wasn't ignorant; rather, he just had complete confidence in himself.
Lin Moyu remembered how, when Little Tree first matured, its roots could breach domain limits and extend into chaos, absorbing power to endlessly supply soul force.
Chaos Child, too, could freely pass between chaos and the soul world this was their ability.
It meant both could traverse the void at will; as long as they had this ability, it was nearly impossible to trap them.
After entering Ancient Desolation, Chaos Child radiated faint light. Lin Moyu seemed to glimpse a vast world emerging from that glow.
"This is the world inside Chaos Child!"
Lin Moyu narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
He knew that Chaos Child had an internal world, and that world was like a second chaos, filled with chaotic qi he himself used it to complete his own chaosification.
Yet he'd never witnessed Chaos Child's inner world before.
Now, it was his first true sight.
Inside the glowing haze, Chaos Child's inner world developed a huge vortex, drawing massive amounts of Ancient Desolation's aura inward.
His world merged with the aura of Ancient Desolation, and wondrous changes began.
Once Ancient Desolation's aura entered, it fiercely clashed with the chaos qi inside the world.
At first, chaos qi held absolute advantage, forcing Ancient Desolation's aura into a corner.
But as more and more influx came, Ancient Desolation's aura began to retaliate.
Their conflict grew ever fiercer, neither giving way.
Chaos Child's little face twisted and warped, providing a comical scene.
Lin Moyu noticed that the Ancient Desolation aura absorbed by Chaos Child was already different from its original state, seemingly altered into Chaos Child's own nature.
This was just like what happened to chaos qi subtle changes occurred once absorbed.
After a tempestuous battle, a sort of balance began to form inside Chaos Child's world.
The battle gradually lessened; Ancient Desolation's aura entrenched itself in the world's center, wrapped around by chaos qi, their shapes in constant flux without any fixed form.
At their borders, distinct bands and boundaries appeared.
Furthermore, countless passageways opened between the two sides, deeply concealed and in astonishing numbers.
Lin Moyu's eyes gleamed he suddenly understood the relationship between chaos and Ancient Desolation he himself inhabited.
Chaos Child had demonstrated it vividly for him; if he still didn't understand after this, he'd truly be a fool.
Both worlds chaos and Ancient Desolation intermingle, only differing in degree.
"No wonder, so breaking through the deepest layer of chaos leads to Ancient Desolation."
"You can enter Ancient Desolation through desolate scars, hidden channels, or directly from chaos's deepest layer."
A vivid map of chaos and Ancient Desolation formed in Lin Moyu's mind. With Catastrophic Supreme's earlier arrangements in mind, the twelve formations' locations became clearer than ever.
With this realization, Lin Moyu felt his aura rising his cultivation took a major step forward.
He was still at Minor Completion of the Chaos Realm, but clearly much stronger than before.
As his power grew, so did his undead minions not by realm but directly, synchronized with his strength.
His undead minions were nearly leaving Half Step Chaos Realm behind, almost reaching Minor Completion.
"Ascend!"
A thought, and Lin Moyu used Ascension the undead minions instantly reached Minor Completion of the Chaos Realm.
Previously, Ascension only brought them infinitely close to that level.
Now, they stepped firmly into it, proving Lin Moyu's intuition the minions really did grow stronger with him.
Lin Moyu found that the Chaos Realm was nothing like all realms before; every bit of progress was visible immediately, no need to wait for a leap of ten major realms.
After absorbing Ancient Desolation's aura for half a day, Chaos Child finally had enough, returned to his original beaded form, and spun back excitedly, calling, "Master, some of my memories have returned!"
Lin Moyu asked, "What did you remember?"
Just then, multicolored light flickered in the distance.
Lin Moyu's face changed Ancient Desolation Divine Light appeared again, as unpredictable as ever: sometimes days without an encounter, other times three times within a short span.
Luck was clearly not on Lin Moyu's side already his third encounter in a short while.
He instantly ushered Chaos Child back into the Calamity Crossing Boat.
In the next instant, the Ancient Desolation Divine Light slashed past the boat but this time, they were lucky and the boat was unharmed.
Chaos Child said, "Master, actually there's nothing to fear from Ancient Desolation Divine Light."
Lin Moyu replied, "It's not fear just not wanting the hassle. So, what memories came back?"
Chaos Child said, "I know there's a place in Ancient Desolation there's something there you need, and something I need as well."
"What exactly?" asked Lin Moyu.
Chaos Child wobbled side to side. "I don't know. Just know that place is very important to you and very important to me. Master, you must go, and sooner is better than later."
Sooner is better than later Chaos Child insisted.
Lin Moyu frowned, "Is that exactly how it appears in your memory?"
Chaos Child replied confidently, "Yes, that's exactly what my memory says sooner is better than later."
Lin Moyu did not doubt him. With Chaos Child being so sure, it wouldn't hurt to go check it out.
With the Calamity Crossing Boat and the Cause Seeking Ring, danger wouldn't be fatal just troublesome at most.
If possible, he'd also help Little Tree retrieve the Origin Earth, and maybe search for Catastrophic Supreme's formation.
Lin Moyu instructed: "Recite the memory you recovered, word for word, without leaving out a single word."
Chaos Child said, "I've already told you there's a place in Ancient Desolation important to you and me. Oh, and to Fat Little Tree as well."
Lin Moyu was startled. "You're not talking about the same place as the others, are you?"
He summoned Little Tree and questioned him thoroughly, and discovered, to his surprise they were all different places.
The spot Chaos Child wanted to visit, Little Tree's Origin Earth, and the place where the Catastrophic Supreme's formation was located none were the same.
Ancient Desolation was so vast, Lin Moyu sensed he'd be in for a long journey.
But there was no choice he could only go and face it head on.
