Chapter 4026: True Spirit Life Technique
Long Yi handed a dragon scale inscribed with a secret art to Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu didn't take it immediately, instead asking, "Why?"
The last time Long Yi visited, she was tight lipped about true spirit matters and unwilling to share. Why was she suddenly willing to reveal it now? Was it just a woman's fickleness, or was it because of Antares? Did she actually have feelings for him? Maybe a little, but not enough to make her give up something so precious. Such a secret art was incredibly valuable how could she give it away so easily?
Long Yi replied, "I have my reasons, but please believe me I truly want to help him."
She no longer referred to herself as 'this emperor,' clearly lowering her stance. Lin Moyu could tell she was sincere about helping Antares.
As Lin Moyu took the dragon scale and prepared to examine the secret art, Long Yi suddenly said, "Please promise me, Lin Daoist, not to spread this secret art." Lin Moyu nodded, "Don't worry, no one else will know." Long Yi nodded, "I trust you."
Lin Moyu didn't know why she trusted his promise, but now wasn't the time to question it. He quickly examined the dragon scale and absorbed all the secret art within.
The secret art was called "True Spirit Life Technique," created specifically for manipulating true spirits. However, it was incomplete only a portion was included.
Its functions were simple. First, it could mark another's true spirit, so that as long as the target remained in this world, they could be tracked. With the tracking technique included, one could break through space and arrive in an instant. The key was that it didn't require mastery of the Space Dao even a Dao Lord could use it. This explained how Long Yi could appear so quickly before.
Another function of the secret art allowed one to erase their true spirit imprint from a world. However, this erasure came at a cost: one would lose a portion of their cultivation in that world, dropping significantly in realm. A Dao Lord would fall to the Great Dao realm, and not even as a top tier soul possibly dropping to a third or even second tier soul. This loss was severe and hard to recover from, making the method undesirable.
The True Spirit Life Technique also included a method to transfer a true spirit imprint from one world to another. Because this was a transfer, not an erasure, the cost was much lower. The catch was that it required mobilizing the full power of a world essentially pitting two worlds against each other. If the original world was too strong, the transfer could fail. Long Yi had said she could use her world's power to help Antares move his true spirit imprint to her world she was referring to this method. Her world was strong, not weaker than the Origin Continent, so she was confident.
Clearly, she was willing to do a lot for Antares, even at considerable cost. But Lin Moyu was curious why she'd go so far was it just for Antares's body? That seemed unlikely; a Great Dao Lord wouldn't act so irrationally. She must have other motives. Still, it was Antares's business, and Lin Moyu didn't care to meddle. His job was to help Antares transfer his true spirit imprint.
The other world Lin Moyu had in mind was, of course, his own Great Thousand World. Although newly formed and young from a world's perspective, the Great Thousand World was fundamentally different. It wasn't just a world within the Origin Continent, but an existence on the same level as the Origin Continent itself. Within it were countless middle and small worlds, while the Origin Continent was just one world within its own universe. By mobilizing the power of the Great Thousand World, Lin Moyu felt it should be possible especially since the Origin Continent's world will hadn't fully revived, making resistance weaker.
The only issue was that the Great Thousand World didn't belong to this universe, so moving the true spirit imprint there was equivalent to changing universes. The Origin Continent couldn't interfere, but the cosmic rules might not allow it. Still, even if the rules objected, at least the imprint could be moved out. Afterwards, it could be placed elsewhere, or Antares could die again to let the imprint return to the cosmos either way, there would be options.
Without hesitation, Lin Moyu mentally rehearsed the secret art several times. Fortunately, it was simple much easier than the Myriad Spirits Secret Art. That was why Long Yi could give it to him now; if it were too complex, there wouldn't be time.
In just half a day, Lin Moyu had a basic grasp of the true spirit transfer method. With a thought, a strange aura rose in his soul, emitting peculiar sounds like rain, waves, birds, and beasts. All the sounds of the world seemed contained within, forming a special frequency that resonated with the Origin Continent.
Lin Moyu's soul didn't make much of a disturbance, but in the Origin Continent, the third of his soul left behind also activated the true spirit transfer technique. The secret art shook the entire world, reaching the world's core to find Antares's true spirit.
The world reacted violently, and Lin Moyu frowned the secret art was accelerating the world will's revival. The world will's aura was rising fast; at this rate, it would recover partially in a few days. Early revival would weaken the world will, but to kill Antares, it wouldn't need much effort just a thought to erase his true spirit.
Lin Moyu's heart tightened time was short.
With the secret art, his mind entered a strange space filled with countless points of light, like a sky full of stars. These were the true spirit imprints of every living being in the Origin Continent, each protected by the world's power he could see but not touch them.
Among the endless imprints, Lin Moyu quickly locked onto Antares's. Unlike others, which floated or were like ordinary writing, Antares's imprint was deeply embedded, fused with the space itself. The world's power enveloped it, making it nearly impossible to separate. Even death wouldn't erase it; the world might just nurture it again, and another Antares could appear in the future. Only if the world will destroyed this era could Antares truly die.
Lin Moyu thought, "The Ancestral Dragon probably didn't know this. If he had, he might have chosen to die and reincarnate, maybe even with memories. What a pity."
Having found the true spirit, Lin Moyu sped up the secret art. The power of the Great Thousand World surged from his body, joining the secret art to form ten giant hands reaching for Antares's true spirit imprint at the core of the Origin Continent.
