 Chapter 3315: The Path Once Strayed From

This time the Soul-Devouring Bug could not survive. Lin Moyu precisely controlled his power, causing the already half-dead bug to perish completely.

After death, the Soul-Devouring Bug's body began to change, rapidly crystallizing into a crystal in the blink of an eye.

This crystal was about a finger-length long. Lin Moyu held it in his hand, sensing a pure soul force from within.

"Soul crystal." Lin Moyu's mind stirred. The crystal formed from the dead Soul-Devouring Bug was very similar to a soul crystal, just not as pure.

Lin Moyu understood its essence at a glance and wasn't very interested in it. He handed the crystal to the Beast Emperor.

"So this is a soul-devouring crystal. So that's what it looks like." The Beast Emperor was clearly seeing a crystal from a dead Soul-Devouring Bug for the first time, his voice slightly excited.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "It seems soul-devouring crystals are quite rare."

The Beast Emperor nodded, "Indeed rare. For us Great Dao realm beings to improve is extremely difficult. Origin Crystals are no longer useful to us. We need some extremely powerful and precious materials."

"Ice-Fire Dao Stones count as one, and soul-devouring crystals count as another."

Lin Moyu asked, "So which of these two is better?"

The Beast Emperor said, "They can't be compared. Ice-Fire Dao Stones need to be refined, which is a rather long process and involves enduring some pain."

"Soul-devouring crystals can be directly absorbed, directly enhancing soul levels. But unlike Ice-Fire Dao Stones, a lot of time is needed afterwards to polish one's foundation."

"Comparatively, this Emperor prefers soul-devouring crystals. After all, there's no suffering involved, and the time spent in the end isn't much different."

Lin Moyu laughed, "You're seeing a soul-devouring crystal for the first time, how do you know so much about it?"

The Beast Emperor gave an awkward dry laugh, "It is my first time seeing one, that's true. But this Emperor has heard about it from others several times. It can't be wrong."

Lin Moyu guessed that the Beast Emperor's so-called "heard from others" was likely just hearsay passed down.

Lin Moyu said, "Then I'll give you this soul-devouring crystal."

The Beast Emperor was stunned, "You're giving it all to me? Soul-devouring crystals can be divided!"

Lin Moyu refused, "No need. I'm still far from the Great Dao realm anyway, so I have no use for this thing. When I reach the Great Dao realm someday, if Elder Beast Emperor has any good things then, just don't forget about me."

The Beast Emperor didn't expect Lin Moyu to be so generous. While feeling a bit embarrassed, he decisively didn't refuse, "Then this Emperor won't be polite. Rest assured, Brother Lin, if there are any benefits in the future, I'll definitely include you."

A single soul-devouring crystal directly bought over the Beast Emperor. Their level of closeness rapidly increased, changing from "friend" to "brother".

However, how much gold content there was in this "brother" title, only heaven knew.

With the Soul-Devouring Bug dead, the entire valley's formation was considered broken. The two strode into the most core area of the Hundred Herbs Alliance.

Upon entering, Lin Moyu slightly furrowed his brow.

The valley was divided into two parts. One part was deathly still, while the other part was full of vitality.

This scene was too familiar to him.

It was just like his own Undying Great Dao!

One side was death, one side was life. Lin Moyu thought to himself, "Could Withering and Flourishing Elder also be comprehending the Undying Great Dao? But what he displayed in previous battles wasn't the Undying Great Dao."

At this moment, the Beast Emperor's voice sounded in his ear, "It's said that Withering and Flourishing once obtained an item. That item recorded a supreme Great Dao, which he's been trying to comprehend. It was also because of that item that he changed his name to Withering and Flourishing. He calls this path the Life and Death Path, said to allow one to comprehend life and death."

Lin Moyu asked softly, "Do you know what kind of item it is?"

At this moment, a strange sense of urgency arose in his heart.

The Undying Great Dao was his innate Great Dao, undoubtedly the most important of the six Great Daos he possessed.

He had never seen anyone else comprehend the Undying Great Dao. Even in the information he had obtained, there wasn't a trace of information about the Undying Great Dao.

This made him develop an illusion that the Undying Great Dao was something unique to him.

Now suddenly seeing Withering and Flourishing Elder seemingly comprehending the Undying Great Dao.

Even if it was just a possibility, he wanted to know the answer.

Unfortunately, the Beast Emperor couldn't give Lin Moyu an accurate answer. The Beast Emperor said, "I only know that item is extraordinary, but I'm not clear on exactly what it is."

Withering and Flourishing Elder had even changed his name because of this item. How could it be a simple thing?

Lin Moyu knew he couldn't get an answer from the Beast Emperor's mouth, so he could only observe for himself.

He sensed the auras of life and death coming from both sides. Gradually, his furrowed brow slowly relaxed.

Withering and Flourishing hadn't comprehended the Undying Great Dao, at least not yet.

The death and life here were all artificially arranged, unrelated to the Great Dao.

There was a trace of life and death power within, but it was different from the Undying Great Dao. It was similar but not the same.

Lin Moyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Strange, why did I care so much about whether Withering and Flourishing Elder would comprehend the Undying Great Dao?"

"Many people comprehending the same Great Dao should be a very normal thing. Why did I have such an emotional reaction?"

"Innate Great Dao, sudden inspiration... Could it be that something is still hidden within the Undying Great Dao?"

"It seems I need to put more thought into the Undying Great Dao. The Undying Great Dao is my fundamental Great Dao."

"With life undying, as long as the Undying Great Dao is completed, why worry about other Great Daos not succeeding?"

A flash of inspiration made Lin Moyu suddenly realize that he had strayed from his path again.

The sudden burst of thoughts made Lin Moyu stop, standing motionless in place.

The Beast Emperor also stopped with him. He didn't urge Lin Moyu, just quietly waited.

Lin Moyu's current state was very much like a cultivator's sudden enlightenment.

Thunder and lightning flashed in Lin Moyu's soul world. In an extremely short time, he reviewed his entire cultivation process, walking again the path he had once walked.

Finally, Lin Moyu realized that in his choices time and time again, not every choice had been correct.

Many times, choices that seemed correct had actually led him astray.

It wasn't that he had gone completely wrong, but that he had chosen a path that wasn't the most direct.

Condensing Dao patterns wasn't wrong, comprehending Great Daos was also right, but he shouldn't have put the Undying Great Dao on the same level as other Great Daos.

The Undying Great Dao was the first Great Dao he comprehended, and also his innate Great Dao.

His ability to achieve such accomplishments was due to the crucial role played by the Undying Great Dao. It could be said that without the Undying Great Dao, his cultivation path wouldn't have been so smooth.

As he comprehended more and more Great Daos later, the role of the Undying Great Dao gradually weakened.

Especially after comprehending illusory-type Great Daos, the role of the Undying Great Dao became even less apparent.

More often, he used the power of life, the Power Great Dao in coordination, or just to heal injuries. He had never truly unleashed the true power of the Undying Great Dao.

Unknowingly, he used the Undying Great Dao less and less frequently. Though it was his innate Great Dao, it had come to stand on equal footing with the other Great Daos, even inferior to some of the later comprehended Great Daos.

Now, Lin Moyu suddenly realized this was wrong.

The six Great Daos he possessed - two real, two illusory, with Time and Space Great Daos between reality and illusion - seemed to maintain a perfect balance.

But thinking about it now, besides balance, the six Great Daos also needed a leader.

This leader wasn't himself, but one of the six Great Daos.

"Using the Undying Great Dao to command the other Great Daos - perhaps this is the correct answer."

Lightning danced wildly in his soul world. Lin Moyu's comprehension of the Great Dao deepened at an astonishing speed.

The 81st Dao pattern that was about to be completed was instantly finished. Then he began to condense the 82nd Dao pattern. At the same time, a strange aura emanated from Lin Moyu's body.

The Beast Emperor murmured softly, "He's really had an enlightenment!"
