Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3496: Cause and Effect Great Dao, Question Fruit Mirror

On the Cloud-Piercing Sword, Little Mei had a mischievous expression: “Teacher, it seems the Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden has taken a liking to you!”

Lin Moyu asked in return: “Little Mei, did you have a Dao companion in your previous life?”

Little Mei didn’t react immediately, instinctively shaking her head.

Lin Moyu continued asking: “What about this life?”

Little Mei said curiously: “Teacher, what are you talking about? I’m still so young.”

Lin Moyu said: “Since you’ve never had a Dao companion, what do you know about love?”

So that’s what he was getting at. Little Mei strongly refuted: “Teacher, although I’ve never had a Dao companion, I’ve eaten pork even if I haven’t killed a pig. I’ve seen many Dao companions in the Holy Land…”

Lin Moyu said: “Seeing is different from experiencing yourself. Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand.”

Little Mei snorted: “Anyway, I can tell that the Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden really likes you, Teacher.”

Lin Moyu shook his head: “These things aren’t so simple. Your teacher won’t develop feelings for anyone else. Your seven teacher-mothers…”

At this point, Lin Moyu stopped speaking. There were some things he didn’t want to talk about. If he continued, he would end up cursing that green-robed old man again.

Little Mei said: “Alright, alright, we won’t talk about it then. Teacher, are we going back to the Eastern Continent now?”

Lin Moyu nodded, “We’ve been away for so long, it’s time to go back.”

Little Mei made an “oh” sound: “Then are we going to take the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce’s warship again?”

Lin Moyu said: “No need. We’ll cross over directly. It’s faster this way.”

The Hurricane Warship had to fly along specific routes. To enter Yuedao City, they would have to take a big detour.

Previously, they took the Hurricane Warship because Lin Moyu’s strength wasn’t sufficient and to save energy. Now with the Cloud-Piercing Sword in hand, there was naturally no need.

After adjusting the direction, the Cloud-Piercing Sword flew in a straight line towards Yuedao City.

Lin Moyu took out the Ten Thousand Phenomena Mirror, at the same time flicking a spirit flower into the mirror to heal the newly subdued Little Fierce. Spirit flowers were effective for treasure spirits as well.

Little Mei asked: “Teacher, what’s special about this Ten Thousand Phenomena Mirror?”

With Lin Moyu’s perspective, an eighth-level Dao Venerable treasure wouldn’t be enough for him to forcibly take it like this.

Little Mei knew that Lin Moyu must have his own reasons for doing this. This treasure couldn’t be so simple.

Lin Moyu held the Ten Thousand Phenomena Mirror, which unfolded in his hand from a folded square box into a mirror about the size of a human head.

The mirror looked extremely exquisite, emitting a peculiar aura.

Lin Moyu said: “This is a rare cause and effect treasure.”

Little Mei said: “A cause and effect treasure? How did you figure that out, Teacher?”

To outsiders, the Ten Thousand Phenomena Mirror seemed more like an illusion-type treasure, using illusions to reflect reality. Even Elder Phantom Landscape used to think so.

Lin Moyu said: “Because it told me itself.”

At that time, to save its life, the malicious spirit secretly told Lin Moyu inside the Ten Thousand Phenomena Mirror that it was a cause and effect treasure.

Because these words were spoken inside the Ten Thousand Phenomena Mirror, no one except Lin Moyu knew.

A moment later, a small spirit appeared on the Ten Thousand Phenomena Mirror.

Little Fierce’s injuries had healed. It didn’t look like a malicious spirit at all, appearing no different from other treasure spirits.

Lin Moyu smiled and said: “Tell me, why did you pretend to be a malicious spirit?”

Little Fierce answered honestly: “In response to Master’s question, it’s because only by disguising myself as a malicious spirit would they not talk to me. If I told them I was a cause and effect treasure, they would definitely keep using me, making me do all sorts of things. I hate that.”

This little treasure spirit had quite a temper, actually disguising itself as a malicious spirit just to avoid being used by others.

Little Mei snorted: “If you’re lazy, just say so. No need for so many excuses.”

Little Fierce immediately denied Little Mei’s words, “It’s not that I’m lazy, it’s because I’m afraid of cause and effect.”

For a cause and effect treasure to say it’s afraid of cause and effect sounds laughable.

Lin Moyu seemed to understand something, “Although you’re a cause and effect treasure, when used, you also have to bear the cause and effect. If there’s too much cause and effect, even you can’t withstand it.”

Little Fierce said: “That’s right. I’m the spirit of a cause and effect treasure, not the lord of the Cause and Effect Great Dao. Not just me, even those in the Cause and Effect Great Dao can’t withstand it.”

“My previous master died like this. There was too much cause and effect, and he couldn’t withstand the backlash.”

Little Fierce disguised itself as a malicious spirit with the true purpose of hiding the fact that it was a cause and effect treasure.

This way, it wouldn’t need to be involved in cause and effect. In the end, it was all about survival.

Little Mei asked: “Then why are you telling us now?”

Little Fierce said: “Master is too fierce. If I didn’t say it, I’d be dead!”

Lin Moyu chuckled: “Then tell me, what are your abilities? Don’t try to deceive me, you know what will happen.”

Little Fierce said: “Actually, I’m not called the Ten Thousand Phenomena Mirror. My previous master named me the Question Fruit Mirror. My ability is to reverse cause and effect. I can complete the effect first, then seek the cause. However, if the cause can’t be found, there will be a backlash, and the backlash is terrifying.”

Lin Moyu asked: “How did your previous master die?”

Little Fierce said: “It was during the Origin Catastrophe. My previous master reversed cause and effect to kill a Black Blood Sword Saint from the Black Blood Realm, but he couldn’t find the cause, so he was backlashed by the Cause and Effect Great Dao and perished.”

“Master, you need to be careful when using me. Don’t use me recklessly. Finding the cause is very difficult.”

The Cause and Effect Great Dao is one of the most mysterious Great Daos. Very few can comprehend it, and even fewer have seen it.

Its ability to reverse cause and effect is indeed terrifying, but the backlash is equally horrifying.

Lin Moyu hasn’t comprehended the Cause and Effect Great Dao yet, so he can’t further understand it. For now, he’s not considering using it.

As for the usage by the Ten Thousand Scenes Holy Land, that’s just the most basic application of the Cause and Effect Great Dao, not reaching the level of reversing cause and effect. It’s just using the Cause and Effect Great Dao to copy and amplify attacks, nothing special.

Lin Moyu said: “I understand. I won’t use it recklessly.”

Little Fierce had become very obedient now: “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back now.”

Lin Moyu made an “mm” sound: “I’ll call you if I need anything!”

Little Fierce zipped back into the Question Fruit Mirror. Lin Moyu put it away, muttering softly: “Reversing cause and effect is indeed a domineering ability. If one could withstand the backlash, it could truly become the strongest killing method, almost unrivaled.”

“What a pity. Hurting the enemy by a thousand but also hurting oneself by a thousand makes it somewhat useless. It can only be used when both sides are going to perish anyway.”

He was thinking, if he used his New Life talent, could he withstand the cause and effect backlash?

If so, while others would have to exchange one life for one life, he had countless lives. Wouldn’t that mean he could… exchange lives?

If that were true, not just in the Origin Continent, even facing those powerful existences in the Great Dao realm, he wouldn’t need to be afraid.

Little Mei curiously asked: “Does Teacher plan to comprehend the Cause and Effect Great Dao?”

Lin Moyu shook his head: “I don’t have such plans for now. I’ve comprehended enough Great Daos at present. If I try to comprehend more, my cultivation speed will become too slow. Let’s take it slow. If there’s time in the future, I’ll comprehend some other Great Daos as a pastime.”

For others, comprehending a Great Dao is as difficult as ascending to heaven, but in Lin Moyu’s mouth, it became a pastime. If others heard this, they would definitely curse Lin Moyu for three days and three nights.

Two days later, the Cloud-Piercing Sword flew out of the Southern Continent and entered the vast Boundary Sea.
