Chapter 3803: Is That Something I Can Hear?
Faced with uncertainty about the intentions of the realm master pursuing him, Lin Moyu avoided direct confrontation.
The opponent was a top-tier realm master, and dealing with him would undoubtedly require the involvement of the elemental liches likely more than one.
Having just narrowly survived the Great Dao tribulation, Lin Moyu wasn't eager to risk a second round.
Luck had spared them last time, but if the elemental liches perished this time, there would be no way to replace them.
The difficulty of obtaining innate primordial treasure materials was something only those who searched for them could truly understand.
Thus, Lin Moyu commanded Space Dao Spirit to teleport them away immediately.
Teleportation left no traceable aura, making it nearly impossible for the realm master to track them.
As an added precaution, Space Dao Spirit left behind a spatial rift to hinder the pursuer slightly.
After five consecutive teleportations, they had traveled five billion kilometers changing direction each time.
If this didn't shake off their pursuer, combat would be unavoidable.
Lin Moyu murmured softly, "It seems Wood Slaughter Realm Master's domain isn't as safe as I thought. I'll need to be more cautious next time."
Little Python asked curiously, "Why is that realm master chasing you, Master?"
Lin Moyu replied, "It's likely because of the virtual soul pills they must have some special effect that caught their attention."
Though he hadn't fully confirmed this, Lin Moyu had a strong hunch sometimes a mere clue was enough.
After several days of flying through the vacuum zone, Lin Moyu finally spotted a familiar Great Spirit Domain in the distance.
As he approached Golden Furnace Great Spirit Domain, the connection between his soul and physical body grew stronger.
Nearly a century had passed since his last visit he had finally returned.
Outside the domain, Beast Abyss remained as it always had. Lin Moyu paused to observe it for a day before bypassing it and entering Golden Furnace Great Spirit Domain.
Comparing Beast Abyss here with that in World Tree Great Spirit Domain revealed distinct differences.
The primary reason for these differences was Human Sovereign.
Over the years, Human Sovereign had undertaken numerous actions many targeting Beast Abyss directly.
Though Lin Moyu didn't yet know exactly what Human Sovereign was doing, he understood that it was all part of his quest for enlightenment.
To achieve his goal, Human Sovereign had deceived World Tree Emperor trapping him in Beast Abyss and replaced him with an avatar to become the new World Tree Emperor.
This allowed Human Sovereign to control not only World Tree Great Spirit Domain but also its cultivators, countless living beings, virtual beasts all under his command.
Additionally, Human Sovereign refined soul pearls not only accelerating cultivators' progress but also using them as tools for control.
However this wasn't Lin Moyu's concern at present. He quickly headed toward Dragon Lake Small Spirit Domain to find Discernment Beast.
Little Python flew swiftly through several Small Spirit Domains and within days they reached Dragon Lake Small Spirit Domain.
Dragon Lake King sensed their arrival immediately and flew over exclaiming in surprise, "It's you again?"
Lin Moyu chuckled, "It seems Dragon Lake King doesn't welcome me."
Dragon Lake King snorted and turned away without another word clearly unwilling to engage with Lin Moyu.
Unable to defeat him or stop him there was no point in interacting further.
Familiar with the domain's layout Lin Moyu found Discernment Beast's residence easily.
Discernment Beast lay at its doorstep as if dozing lightly.
Leaving Little Python behind in Dragon Lake Small Spirit Domain, Lin Moyu approached alone and called out loudly, "Senior Discernment Beast Lin Moyu has come to visit."
From afar Lin Moyu noticed something unusual the aura of treasure materials within Discernment Beast's residence was gone.
Previously the small house contained numerous treasures but now they were nowhere to be seen.
Discernment Beast opened its sleepy eyes and said casually, "You're back? Come closer."
Receiving permission Lin Moyu flew over: "Senior monitors all under heaven it's impossible you didn't know I was coming."
Discernment Beast replied, "I do monitor all but I don't focus on individuals. Besides you haven't entered any worlds it's harder for me to hear about you."
Its implication was clear it primarily listened to events within worlds; matters outside were more challenging to discern.
Lin Moyu asked, "What has Senior heard recently?"
Discernment Beast replied dismissively: "Just random nonsense nothing useful."
Suddenly it sniffed at Lin Moyu curiously: "Hmm you've been to World Tree Great Spirit Domain but let me smell more closely."
Its long neck stretched out and its massive head leaned toward Lin Moyu sniffing him thoroughly.
"Ah you've also been to Radiant Light Great Spirit Domain and Redstone Great Spirit Domain."
"You've traveled quite extensively why did you visit those places?"
Before Lin Moyu could answer Discernment Beast suddenly recoiled in shock retreating to the edge of its island while trembling visibly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Moyu asked in confusion.
Discernment Beast stammered nervously: "You. you boarded that ship?"
Understanding immediately what it meant but seeking confirmation Lin Moyu asked calmly: "Are you referring to Crossing Calamity Boat?"
Discernment Beast nodded vigorously: "Yes that's what it's called now."
Lin Moyu asked curiously: "Was it called something else before?"
Discernment Beast replied hesitantly: "It had another name but that doesn't concern you. What happened after you boarded Crossing Calamity Boat?"
Lin Moyu noted Discernment Beast's eagerness it reminded him of Redstone Emperor's reaction but with added caution and fear.
"Let's make a deal," Lin Moyu suggested.
"What kind of deal?" Discernment Beast asked warily.
"I'll tell you everything about my experience aboard Crossing Calamity Boat and in return you'll answer my questions honestly or at least offer me a discount if there's a fee involved."
This arrangement seemed one-sided in Discernment Beast's favor but it understood this as an expression of trust from Lin Moyu.
Without hesitation it agreed: "Alright start talking and be detailed."
Lin Moyu recounted his journey aboard Crossing Calamity Boat meticulously.
As he described encountering the statue and hearing its voice Discernment Beast grew visibly tense.
When Lin Moyu mentioned being tasked with an undisclosed mission it muttered softly: "He's still there."
"Can't Senior hear what happens aboard Crossing Calamity Boat?" Lin Moyu asked curiously.
Discernment Beast replied self-deprecatingly: "Is that something I can hear?"
"Who is aboard Crossing Calamity Boat?" Lin Moyu pressed further.
Discernment Beast answered cryptically: "That is an unspeakable existence you shouldn't ask I won't tell and no one else will either."
"Perhaps when you complete your task and return you'll learn for yourself."
Understanding its reluctance Lin Moyu shifted topics: "Let's discuss something else I discovered during my visit to World Tree Great Spirit Domain that Human Sovereign deceived World Tree Emperor into entering Beast Abyss and then replaced him."
