Chapter 4387: The Corpse of a Supreme
Little Tree moved incredibly fast he snatched the corpse and vanished before Chaos Child could react.
By the time Chaos Child realized, it was too late.
Lin Moyu didn't even bother to ask the opponent his name; with a few easy moves, he finished things.
Chaos Child came out again, huffing, "Forget it, I won't argue with you!"
He returned to the void, radiating faint light, and reopened his inner world.
The hidden treasure ground, under Chaos Child's luminous glow, reappeared.
Waves rippled through space as the treasure ground slowly surfaced and stabilized.
Lin Moyu watched curiously this treasure ground wasn't hidden in a spatial seam. If it were, it would've been discovered.
How, then, was it hidden? It was a worthy question.
While Chaos Child activated the treasure ground, he voraciously inhaled the aura released from within.
Lin Moyu could sense that the aura was utterly ancient seemingly predating even Catastrophic Supreme, so ancient that its age was unfathomable.
Lin Moyu, once having tangled with the Dao of Time, was very sensitive to the passage of time there was no mistake.
This confirmed his suspicion: Chaos Child's existence truly was more ancient than Catastrophic Supreme.
Little Tree as well they were beings from the same era.
Once stabilized, the special and ancient aura drifted through the space of the treasure ground.
Lin Moyu sensed this for the first time: "Could this be from the ancient era of Desolation? It feels rather different from now."
Chaos Child cried out, "It's been so many years at last, I've returned!"
"Master, follow me. Let's get the treasure."
Chaos Child flew ahead, while Lin Moyu, standing on the Calamity Crossing Boat, followed slowly.
Little Tree's chubby silhouette appeared at his side, sighing, "What a familiar aura. So soothing."
Lin Moyu asked, "Is this the aura of your old era?"
Little Tree shook his head. "Don't know. It's just familiar and feels good."
His memory had not fully recovered; it was just a sense of déjà vu.
Lin Moyu wasn't in a hurry. All would be recalled in time maybe after this, Chaos Child's memory would return further.
Little Tree had once been split into six, and Chaos Child, being from the same era and tier, hadn't been divided much either.
"Three burrows for a cunning rabbit!"
That phrase suddenly popped into mind Little Tree and Chaos Child really fit the saying.
Surveying the treasure ground: an endless field of flowers and grasses, vibrant and lush, with a distant verdant forest, an earthly paradise.
None of the foliage was ordinary; all emitted a fragrant scent. Just breathing it in made Lin Moyu's thoughts clearer, his soul more active, as if his understanding of the Dao deepened and his cultivation threatened to rise further.
Ahead, Chaos Child's satisfied voice called out: "Master, isn't this a great environment?"
Lin Moyu's eyes sparkled. "Recalling memories?"
Chaos Child said, "A bit. This place is called Dao Garden a place of enlightenment. All these flowers and grasses are Dao Flowers and Dao Grasses."
Lin Moyu asked, "You planted them?"
Chaos Child pondered, then denied it: "No idea. I don't think I did."
Apparently, his memory had returned a bit, but not much.
Lin Moyu continued, "Was this your place for enlightenment once?"
Chaos Child thought again and denied it, "Probably not. Really, I just know it's called Dao Garden, those are Dao Flowers and Dao Grasses, but I can't remember more."
Lin Moyu said, "No rush. Just follow your memories they'll return, eventually."
Chaos Child nodded and kept flying, soon passing the Dao Garden and entering a lush forest: Dao Forest. These trees were Dao Trees.
The aura for Dao enlightenment in Dao Forest was even richer Lin Moyu felt this was a true cultivator's paradise. Training here would yield twice the results for half the effort.
But…
There was no Dao here. Whether in Dao Garden or Dao Forest, no matter how powerful the inspiration, it was all a castle in the air.
No matter how clever, you can't cook without rice without a real Dao to comprehend, all that inspiration was useless.
Yet Lin Moyu understood: if you could carry this Dao Forest and Garden back to chaos let it be permeated with chaos Daos it would become the ultimate blessed land for cultivation, perhaps the greatest training ground of all.
Beyond the Dao Forest, he saw a lake.
Chaos Child stopped at the lake's edge. "First stop."
Lin Moyu guided the Calamity Crossing Boat ashore, looked at the calm waters he saw nothing special.
The water seemed normal, no different from ordinary water.
"No, it's too pure."
Suddenly, Lin Moyu realized what was off. The lake water only looked regular actually, it was anything but.
It was too pure; not just pure from lack of impurities, but devoid of force or Dao.
All water in the world has "roots," and that's the Dao of Water.
But this lake's water had no root, no Dao. It was completely detached from the Dao.
Meaning, anything placed in this water would be stripped of all Dao connections. This water would disperse all Dao.
If Lin Moyu himself entered, all his cultivation would be drained in moments he'd become an ordinary man.
Chaos Child spoke up: "This is the purest water water separate from the Dao, and also the purest death."
"But if handled properly, it's the best preservative in the world. Anything kept in it would be preserved forever, and no one could detect it."
Speaking, Chaos Child flew to the lake's center his internal world emerged, and he began absorbing lake water like a whale.
As the water entered Chaos Child's world, its desolate barrenness began to show a hint of color.
The lake surface dropped, and bit by bit, the bottom was revealed.
Lin Moyu's eyes narrowed he saw corpses. The entire lakebed was covered in them.
Eighteen in total. Each corpse was different, in shape and size, but they all radiated terrifying auras.
Previously, the water suppressed them; now with the lake drained, their auras spread uncontrolled.
Lin Moyu frowned. "These are not Full Completion level."
After absorbing the lake, Chaos Child seemed to restore a bit more memory. "Master's right. Here are eighteen corpses: nine Supremes, nine quasi Supremes."
Supremes, but what were quasi Supremes?
Chaos Child said, "Let me put them away before explaining."
The corpses' auras were so strong they shook the entire treasure ground, which felt on the verge of collapse.
Chaos Child quietly chanted, and all eighteen bodies were sent into his inner world, then wrapped in lakewater for preservation.
It was clear this was difficult work the eighteen corpses were just that terrifying.
Right now, Lin Moyu was quaking inside a Supreme could die, but nine dying together and placed side by side that was truly a shock.
Afterward, Chaos Child told Little Tree, "We'll split the lakebed's desolate mud and the Dao Forest and Garden fifty fifty."
Little Tree answered, "Alright, thanks Wan!"
