 Chapter 2327: Dragon Pearl Evolving Self-Awareness?

The treasure Bai Qiuxia obtained from that special space contained the aura of a dragon's soul.

This made Lin Moyu think of the Heavenly Dragon's Dragon Pearl. Both were found in the outer domain and both had the aura of a dragon, making it hard not to draw a connection.

The Dragon Pearl is the most important thing for every dragon, containing their power, soul, spells, and more.

Without the Dragon Pearl, a dragon's power would significantly decrease, their realm would drop, and even their spells would be lost.

Moreover, the importance of each Dragon Pearl varies, and the power contained within each one is different.

It is possible that this Dragon Pearl is one of the more powerful ones, and after so many years, it might have evolved into something else.

If it contains the soul of the Heavenly Dragon and has evolved self-awareness, that would be interesting.

Although the laws in the boundary area are somewhat chaotic, they couldn't stop Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu forcibly opened a space gate within it, arriving at the area where the Heavenly Dragon was located.

The Heavenly Dragon opened its eyes and looked at Lin Moyu, "Did you find the Dragon Pearl?"

Lin Moyu replied, "It's not that easy. I just found some clues."

The Heavenly Dragon immediately became interested, "What clues?"

Lin Moyu recounted what happened to Bai Qiuxia and shared his own speculations.

The Heavenly Dragon's brows furrowed, and its dragon scales clashed together, making a clinking sound.

After a while, the Heavenly Dragon spoke again, "What you said is not impossible."

"There are two Dragon Pearls in the outer domain. One of them contains a secret technique related to the soul, which is why it has strong soul power."

"This secret technique can corrode the soul and is extremely difficult to remove completely."

"Even I, if I can't retrieve that Dragon Pearl, can't heal the injury caused by the secret technique."

Lin Moyu's eyes lit up, "So if we find that Dragon Pearl, you can heal it?"

The Heavenly Dragon snorted, "Of course. Do you think I'm just for show?"

Lin Moyu said, "Alright, I will go there to search. If I find it, I'll bring the Dragon Pearl back, and you help me heal him."

"But this is not within our original deal. Is there any problem?"

The Heavenly Dragon snorted, "Even if you wanted to include this in our deal, I wouldn't agree. My deals are not that cheap."

Lin Moyu laughed, "Then it's settled."

"Wait!" Just as Lin Moyu was about to leave, the Heavenly Dragon suddenly called out to him.

The Heavenly Dragon gritted its teeth and let out a muffled groan as more than ten dragon scales fell off simultaneously.

A dragon breath sprayed out, turning into flames that burned the dragon scales.

The dragon scales melted in the dragon breath, eventually forming a sphere.

This sphere was even larger than a Dragon Pearl and was hollow inside.

The Heavenly Dragon said, "If it is as you suspect, use this Dragon Trap Sphere to contain the Dragon Pearl. Remember not to touch the Dragon Pearl directly, understand?"

Lin Moyu took the Dragon Trap Sphere, "Of course, I understand."

If the Dragon Pearl had indeed awakened self-awareness, it would become extremely dangerous.

Especially with the secret technique contained within it, even the power of life would struggle to completely heal it.

The Heavenly Dragon made the Dragon Trap Sphere for its own safety.

More than ten dragon scales fell off at once. Judging by the Heavenly Dragon's expression, it seemed to be quite painful.

"I'm off!" Lin Moyu put away the Dragon Trap Sphere and opened the space gate.

Seeing Lin Moyu disappear, the Heavenly Dragon's gaze became complicated.

"Stop, Dragon Pearl evolving self-awareness."

"Don't let me find out who tampered with it, or I'll skin you alive and roast your soul with dragon breath for a million years." The Heavenly Dragon cursed, its eyes filled with hatred.

The aura of the outer domain hit him in the face. Lin Moyu didn't expect that he would return to the outer domain so soon after just coming back to the inner domain.

The location where Bai Qiuxia encountered the spatial rift wasn't far, only about two hundred thousand light-years from the inner domain.

Back then, Bai Qiuxia was at the Otherworldly Realm, and two hundred thousand light-years was enough for him to explore.

The probability of a spatial rift appearing is very low, and the outer domain is so vast. Whether it was good luck or bad luck for him to encounter it is unknown.

The outer domain starry sky was silent and boundless. Two hundred thousand light-years had already isolated most of the starlight, making it almost completely dark here.

Lin Moyu had been in the outer domain for many years and was long accustomed to it.

He carefully sensed the spatial changes. Space was not static but always fluctuating.

In Lin Moyu's perception, space was like ripples on the water, one circle after another, constantly undulating.

Many changes that had occurred in space would leave traces in the ripples, which would be hard to erase for a long time.

If a spatial rift had appeared here, as long as it hadn't been more than a hundred years, he could find the traces.

The benefits of the space law were evident at this moment. Coupled with his extremely sensitive soul, Lin Moyu's perception of space far exceeded that of others.

Even Saints who also mastered the space law couldn't match him.

Soon, Lin Moyu made a discovery. He found a spatial crack.

This spatial crack had already disappeared, leaving only a mark.

It was like a broken mirror that had been repaired, still leaving traces.

"Found it!" Just finding a mark left by a spatial crack wasn't enough to determine if it was a spatial rift.

After all, many reasons could cause a spatial crack.

Lin Moyu had his own methods. The time law began to surge, and the time law star river appeared, connecting to the river of time.

"Time Reversal!"

With a thought, time began to reverse.

This time, the reversal didn't need to go back too far, and Lin Moyu found it easy.

The time law found the marks in time and re-presented the events that had occurred in this starry sky.

Reversing time to fifty years ago, space was still calm, and nothing had happened.

Sixty years, seventy years, still nothing.

It wasn't until eighty-seven years ago that space in the time stream twisted, and a spatial rift suddenly appeared.

The time reversal became slow, changing from years to days.

Until the spatial rift disappeared, Lin Moyu stopped the time reversal.

"The spatial rift appeared eighty-seven years ago and lasted for a hundred days."

"It seems that every time the spatial rift appears, it lasts for about a hundred days. It's just unknown how often it appears."

Bai Qiuxia had once entered the spatial rift, and eighty-seven years ago, it appeared again. This basically confirmed that the spatial rift would repeatedly appear here.

It's just that the interval between appearances was uncertain.

It could be a few years, a few decades, centuries, or even millennia.

Lin Moyu began searching for more cracks. He needed more information.

The location of the spatial rift wouldn't be fixed, but it wouldn't deviate too far either.

Soon, he found another spatial crack a million kilometers away.

He began another time reversal. This time, the spatial rift appeared sixty-seven years ago and also lasted for a hundred days.

"Eighty-seven years ago and sixty-seven years ago, each appeared once. Could the interval be twenty years?"

Lin Moyu muttered to himself and began searching for more spatial cracks.

Two million kilometers away, he found another spatial crack.

This spatial crack's mark was very faint, almost disappearing.

Under the time reversal, Lin Moyu found that this time the spatial rift appeared ninety-seven years ago.

By now, Lin Moyu could basically confirm that the spatial rift appeared every ten years and lasted for a hundred days each time.

According to this calculation, the spatial rift would appear again in about three years.

Three years was a wait he could afford.

As for where the spatial rift would appear, that wasn't a problem. With his perception of space, any spatial changes within a light-year couldn't escape his detection.

"In that case, let's wait."

"Three years is enough time to prepare some soul power for the Blood-devouring Puppet!"
