Chapter 1911 – Still Mo Yi
“This is indeed not the land of darkness.” Lu Yun took a deep breath after he entered and made out the laws of the world around them.
Instead of a turbid haze, the air was clear and the laws simple and straightforward. They weren’t the disjointed mess that would be expected in darkness without order. What did lie within expectations was the complete lack of illumination. Lu Yun saw nothing even when looking around with the Spectral Eye.
Regardless, he could clearly perceive that boundless endarkened were crouched in front of him, trembling and shaking from fear. They didn’t dare move. Upon a slight vibration from the Master of Darkness, the deep expanse of gloom dispersed from Lu Yun’s line of sight, enabling his physical eyes to see his surroundings.
“This naturally isn’t the land of darkness.” Nightmare was close on Lu Yun’s heels. It wasn’t her first time in a Dark World. The last time a world heart matured, she entered it with her sect’s elders.
She’d been a dozen levels of sequence then and entered the Dark World primarily for tempering and training. This time, she was one of the strongest senior cultivators in the Ghost Sect. If not for Lu Yun on this trip, she would be the leader of the Ghost Sect contingent for this trial.
Given the appearance of the Master of Darkness, all creatures of darkness on the outskirts of the Dark World were thoroughly cowed. However, the strongest among them was but supreme. There were no high or grand supremes to be found within them.
The two grand supreme endarkened that he’d killed on the bridge hadn’t bowed down to him. Instead, they’d hidden themselves among the rest of the creatures of darkness in preparation to attack Lu Yun at any time.
Grand supremes in a Dark World were unaffected by the Master of Darkness. On the contrary, they constantly sought chances to seize it from its wielder.
Lu Yun’s attention wasn’t on the local grand supremes. If they could act, they would’ve turned the world upside down long ago. Who would dare come for the world heart then? He was wholly focused on the yet maturing world heart.
It looked… like an actual, beating black heart.
Three hundred and sixty-five currents of black air connected the heart to the rest of the world, like they were blood vessels. The world heart continuously drew energy from the Dark World. Once it fully coalesced, it would become the core of the world and induce a marvelous change. The Dark World would then proceed down the path of becoming a land of darkness.
This evolution was what should theoretically happen. This world heart seemed to be cursed, turning it into a poisonous tumor plaguing its world.
A Dark World should be as chaotic and without order as a land of darkness. Rules and laws alike should be entangled with each other, as opposed to a land of clear fresh air such as this one. This aberration was purely due to the world heart.
But this world wouldn’t recover even after the world heart was claimed; the power to form another world heart still existed. World hearts would form one after another and prevent the world from becoming a land of darkness.
All Lu Yun could say was that whoever had come up with this idea to prevent Dark Worlds from evolving into lands of darkness was an absolute genius.
Meanwhile, local powerhouses also wished for the world hearts to be claimed as they believed that the power generating them would one day be exhausted. Once that came to be, the true world heart would form and turn this Dark World into a second land of darkness.
Thus, grand and high supremes of the Dark Worlds never prevented chief world denizens from entering their home to harvest world hearts.
“If it wasn’t for the mistress of legend taking pains to modify the world heart, this world would’ve become a true land of darkness long ago,” Nightmare said after a long period of silence.
“…mistress?” Lu Yun blinked.
“Yes, a legendary figure of the mythological era. She created Ruina with a wave of her hand and provided a final resting place for the seas of the chief worlds. She also created the world heart of this world with ease.” Nightmare spoke of this legendary mistress with a look of worship on her face. “Perhaps she exceeded grand supreme a long time ago. Maybe she’s even exceeded empyrean supreme and exists outside our imagination!”
Lu Yun: ……
He knew who Nightmare spoke of.
Mo Yi.
Mo Yi was a mystery of a woman. She loved dressing as a man and carried herself with dashing grace. Though she seemed soft and delicate, she often produced miracles unfathomable by ordinary people.
In Lu Yun’s eyes, she was even more mysterious than the Tome of Life and Death. However, he didn’t voice her name as he was sure that the inhabitants of this world viewed her as their mortal enemy. If he spoke her name aloud, they would be able to determine her current whereabouts through various clues.
While the endarkened didn’t cultivate formula dao, there were thousands of great daos in the world and more than formula dao that could analyze and theorize other people.
He tossed his head and walked forward in a certain direction.
“Where are you going?” Nightmare blinked when she saw Lu Yun walk off. She ran after him; he wasn’t headed in the direction of the world heart.
“Stay here, don’t move.” Lu Yun paused. “I’ll help you switch to immortal dao when I get back. We’ll use the power of this Dark World to turn you into a true grand supreme.”
Nightmare started and remained where she was. With her name written into the Tome of Life and Death, she couldn’t refuse Lu Yun’s suggestions.
……
A big-headed doll lolled on the ground with a young man and woman next to him.
“You’re here, you’re here, you’re finally here!” The doll shot to its feet when Lu Yun came near and burrowed into the young man’s arms.
It was the big-headed doll, Ghost Dragon, and Ghost Phoenix.
When Mo Yi brought the overlord of Ice out of the Land of Reincarnation, the trio followed him to the chief worlds. But after they reached the outside realm, the big-headed doll took Ghost Dragon and Ghost Phoenix to this particular Dark World.
The Three Brushes of Reincarnation were with the doll, but what fascinated Lu Yun was that the doll was now a real living being. At the same time, Ghost Dragon and Ghost Phoenix wielded the strength of the past and present brush. It was their power that Lu Yun had sensed outside the Dark World.
Not only that, but he’d discovered traces of Fuxi’s five senses.
“I borrowed the energy here to split the brushes out from me and gave the fortuitous opportunities of the remaining two to Ghost Dragon and Ghost Phoenix!” The big-headed doll still looked the same as before, it hadn’t grown bigger. Since Lu Yun currently wore the Master of Darkness, he felt an incomparable affinity for the young man.
He handed three brushes to Lu Yun.
“What are these brushes?” Lu Yun took them with a frown.
