Chapter 3317: Waiting for an Opportunity to Soar
The Beast Emperor hesitated noticeably as he said this, clearly having some reservations.
Lin Moyu said, "If Elder Beast Emperor finds it difficult, you donât have to say it."
Lin Moyu understood the Beast Emperorâs personality very well. This method of backing off to advance worked very effectively on the Beast Emperor.
The more he said this, the more the Beast Emperor would tell him.
The Beast Emperor said, "Actually, if Brother Lin wasnât also walking the path of Dao patterns, there are some things this Emperor couldnât say."
The Beast Emperor naturally cultivated Dao patterns, which was the most orthodox cultivation path.
However, due to some special reasons, after the Origin Catastrophe, the method of cultivating Dao patterns was lost.
It was as if an invisible hand had completely erased the correct cultivation method, not allowing people to know it.
Now on the Origin Continent, besides the few Great Dao realm beings like the Beast Emperor, very few knew the method of cultivating Dao patterns.
Even the ancestors of the great holy lands didnât know, and also followed the current cultivation methods.
At the time, Lin Moyu also found it strange. Since the Three Ancestors knew the correct cultivation method, why didnât they spread it, instead letting countless people take detours?
Thinking about it later, they must have had no choice, surely having reasons they couldnât speak of.
Lin Moyu didnât speak, he just listened quietly.
The Beast Emperor sighed and continued, "It involves some secrets. Some things canât be told to outsiders."
"Canât be told to outsiders, but Brother Lin isnât an outsider. Thereâs no problem telling you a bit."
"With Brother Linâs knowledge, you should know that many things have been buried by time. For example, this method of cultivating Dao patterns - itâs not that we donât want to tell, but that we canât tell. Not only can we not speak of the Dao pattern cultivation method, we canât even speak of the lesser method of breaking through to the Great Dao realm."
"Only when we encounter someone like Brother Lin, who already knows how to cultivate Dao patterns and has embarked on the Dao pattern cultivation path, can we speak of it."
Lin Moyu asked, "Who set these rules? The Great Dao?"
The Beast Emperor said, "Itâs a long story. Letâs talk as we walk."
They walked along the path of intertwining life and death as the Beast Emperor slowly explained.
"There are three Great Daos, named Time, Years, and Fate."
"The Time Great Dao governs the river of time, encompassing past and present. The Years Great Dao governs what has been. It seems to overlap with the river of time, but itâs not so. The Years Great Dao has the ability to erase certain things from the river of time."
"But this doesnât mean the Years Great Dao is superior to the Time Great Dao. The two are parallel, both primordial Great Daos, just with different responsibilities."
"The Time Great Dao is responsible for recording, while the Years Great Dao is responsible for erasing the past."
Lin Moyu listened carefully, then said, "So the Fate Great Dao is responsible for erasing the future?"
The Beast Emperor said, "Though not entirely correct, itâs close enough. With the three working together, no one except the Dao Lords can defy them."
"Before entering the Origin Continent, we all swore Great Dao oaths not to leak the Dao pattern cultivation method, nor reveal the method of breaking through to the Great Dao realm."
The Beast Emperor explained why they couldnât speak of it - because they had sworn oaths. If they leaked information about the Dao pattern cultivation method to others, they would be punished.
Thatâs why he had hesitated so much when asking Lin Moyu earlier.
Lin Moyu asked, "What if I had answered that I wasnât cultivating the Dao pattern method?"
The Beast Emperor replied without hesitation, "Then this Emperor would have passed on the Dao pattern method to Brother Lin. With Brother Linâs talent, not cultivating Dao patterns would be too much of a waste."
Lin Moyu felt somewhat moved. Even knowing he might be punished, the Beast Emperor still asked him.
And he was prepared to pass on the Dao pattern cultivation method if Lin Moyuâs cultivation method was incorrect.
The Great Daoâs punishment wouldnât be light. The Beast Emperor would certainly have to pay a price.
Yet even so, he still decided to do this.
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Elder Beast Emperor. Fortunately, this junior didnât disappoint you."
The Beast Emperor said, "Brother Lin, donât be so polite. Whatâs our relationship? A little punishment is nothing."
"May I ask where Brother Lin obtained the Dao pattern cultivation method?"
Lin Moyu said, "Once the Three Ancestors had me go to the ruins of the God-Slaying Sect. I obtained the Dao pattern cultivation method from there, as well as the method for those ancestors to break through to the Great Dao realm."
The Beast Emperor laughed, "The Three Ancestors truly live up to being businessmen. Even when the Great Dao forbids speaking of it, they can find loopholes."
"Brother Lin, do you know why the Great Dao hides this information?"
Lin Moyu shook his head, indicating he didnât know.
The Beast Emperor said, "The Great Dao is supremely impartial. It actually has no self-awareness, only instinct. The Great Dao will only use the most direct and simple methods to solve problems."
"After the Origin Catastrophe, five of the nine continents sank, the Divine Continent Cauldron was lost, and the Origin Continent was gravely injured."
"Moreover, the cancer within the Origin Continent still exists, not yet completely resolved."
"To preserve the Origin Continentâs vitality, the Great Dao had no choice but to restrict the cultivation paths on the Origin Continent."
"Except for a very small number of people, most will have no chance."
"Every Great Dao realm achievement requires the support of a large amount of Origin power, and this Origin power comes from the Origin Continent."
With the Origin Continent severely damaged, the Great Dao chose to cut costs and increase income. It erased the correct cultivation methods, making it difficult for cultivators on the Origin Continent to advance to the Great Dao realm.
But according to the Beast Emperor, the path to advancing to the Great Dao realm wasnât completely blocked.
This also confirmed Lin Moyuâs understanding of the Great Dao - it would always leave a glimmer of hope.
That said, the fact remained that over countless years, no one had advanced to the Great Dao realm.
It was impossible that no geniuses had appeared in so many years.
Lin Moyu asked, "But after so many years, no more Great Dao realm beings have appeared on the Origin Continent?"
The Beast Emperor said, "Not only was the Origin Continent itself damaged, its destiny was also severely injured. Itâs already very difficult for new Great Dao realm beings to appear. Add to that the Great Daoâs restrictions, and it becomes even more difficult."
"There are naturally geniuses, so over these years, some have become pseudo-Great Dao realm beings. Though pseudo-Great Dao realm isnât Great Dao realm, they can similarly live forever without worrying about lifespan."
"They just need to wait for an opportunity. When the opportunity comes, they can naturally soar and achieve the Great Dao."
Lin Moyu asked further, "What opportunity?"
The Beast Emperor said, "This Emperor doesnât know exactly what opportunity, but it can be certain that it will be an unimaginable upheaval of heaven and earth. At that time, the stars will shift and the world will be turned upside down. Everything will become different."
"That will be the turning point for all geniuses, and also the turning point for us old fellows, and even more so the turning point for the Origin Continent."
Lin Moyuâs expression became serious, "Does Elder Beast Emperor know when?"
The Beast Emperor said, "Unknown. Everything is unknown. We few have been here for so many years, always waiting. Perhaps this opportunity will come in the next second, or perhaps weâll have to wait another few hundred thousand years."
"But as long as one enters the pseudo-Great Dao realm, they can afford to wait several hundred thousand years."
"Brother Lin, you must wait for the opportunity to soar!"
