Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 4245: The Message

The Second Generation Heavenly Void Palace, as Lin Moyu understood, represented the Dao giving birth to the One, which in turn evolves into Yin and Yang the “One” in reality should be chaos.

This was only his guess before, but standing before the gates of the Second Generation Heavenly Void Palace, Lin Moyu discovered he was correct.

The doors were tightly shut. In front of them, a vortex slowly spun, filled with mist interwoven of all kinds of forces, just like chaos.

After observing for a while, Lin Moyu confirmed that the vortex was not truly chaos, but a force similar to chaos.

“Chaos qi is the foundation of a domain, but you can’t use primordial chaos directly to create a domain so this isn’t actual chaos.”

“The Second Generation Palace Master must have tried to imitate chaos to evolve the domain, forsaking the clearer Great Dao.”

“But that means the entire domain remained in a hazy state. For its lifeforms, cultivating would be incredibly hard never mind achieving the highest realms, even getting started would be difficult.”

“The advantage is, if you do succeed in cultivation, you’d become extremely powerful, and it would be much easier to undergo chaotification and transcend in the future.”

Just standing before the gates and looking at the vortex, Lin Moyu understood how the second palace master constructed his domain.

To be able to construct a domain in this way this alone proved the Second Generation Palace Master’s formidable strength, far above any who came after. With each passing generation, the power of each domain seemed to wane.

The Ferry of Tribulation drifted over. As soon as it touched the vortex, the grand doors rumbled open no, the ferry was being welcomed in.

As the controller of the ferry, Lin Moyu sensed that the Ferry of Tribulation was indeed being invited inside.

This suggested the ferry had been here before, maybe spent a long period in this palace.

Within the Second Heavenly Void Palace, thick mists pervaded everything, resembling chaos qi, yet capable of evolving endless Daos. The mists were even more powerful than thunderclouds if they erupted, Lin Moyu had no doubt he would be instantly slain inside. No amount of undead servants would help, no matter how many he summoned, they’d be annihilated just as quickly, and endlessly. For any being below Chaos Realm, this was a forbidden land.

The very first thing Lin Moyu did was use the Causal Ring to plant a karmic “fruit,” ensuring he could return safely.

To his surprise, the backlash from the Causal Ring cost him only a single death meaning this place was extremely safe for him.

That safety came from the Ferry of Tribulation.

The ferry journeyed through the mists, searching for a path. Fortunately, the Second Generation Palace wasn’t very large, and Lin Moyu soon found the central hall.

The central hall was mostly intact, a force inside supporting its structure.

The Ferry entered the hall, when suddenly a voice sounded: “You have arrived!”

The voice pierced the ferry and rang directly in Lin Moyu’s ears, startling him there was someone still here?

“Could it be a lingering soul like the Fifth Gen Palace Master?” Lin Moyu found this hard to believe. The second palace should have been long destroyed how could any being survive?

The voice continued: “I have already perished. What remains here is neither a soul nor a consciousness, but only a message I left behind.”

“There is no need for surprise only the Ferry of Tribulation can come here. Even the Heavenly Supreme cannot.”

Even a Heavenly Supreme can’t enter?

That was a bold claim. Lin Moyu was a bit skeptical.

The voice went on: “If a Heavenly Supreme were to enter, this hall would instantly collapse, and nothing would remain.”

Now Lin Moyu understood it was a matter of structural rules within the palace.

No wonder the Ferry of Tribulation was welcomed in everything depended on the intentions of the Second Generation Palace Master.

He continued: “I don’t know your name, but I can guess who you are. Many answers you’ll have to find for yourself, but I also have something I need to entrust to you.”

“At the bottom of this hall, I have left something behind. Take it to the First Generation Heavenly Void Palace perhaps there you’ll find what you seek.”

With that, the message ended. Lin Moyu took a deep breath and steered the ferry down to the bottom of the hall.

But just a few seconds later, the same voice sounded again.

“You have arrived!”

“I have already perished. What remains here is neither a soul nor a consciousness, but only a message I left behind.”

“There is no need for surprise only the Ferry of Tribulation can enter here. Even the Heavenly Supreme cannot.”

…

The exact same disclaimer, repeating itself.

Lin Moyu couldn’t help but smile wryly so it could be set up like this? Honestly, this was much simpler and more reliable than leaving behind ten different lingering soul fragments.

The Ferry of Tribulation came to a gentle halt at the base of the hall, where Lin Moyu saw what the Second Generation Palace Master had left.

It was an ancestral plaque, inscribed with just two characters at the base: “Honor Seat.”

Whatever else was written had been erased; there was no way to know whose tablet it actually was.

At the foot of the hall, there was no chaotic mist. That was clearly the palace master’s doing, ensuring Lin Moyu could safely collect the plaque.

Lin Moyu sent a projection out from the ferry to get it.

The moment the plaque was removed, the repeating voice ceased.

Its mission was now over regardless of whether the person who took the plaque was actually the right one. For the Second Palace Master, this Chapter was now closed.

And for Lin Moyu, this particular mystery was drawing to its end.

He piloted the Ferry of Tribulation out from the mists and set course for the First Generation Heavenly Void Palace.

The First Palace, as the origin point of all the Heavenly Void Land, ought to be the strongest out of the five Lin Moyu had no idea what secrets waited inside.

The First Generation Heavenly Void Palace stood deep within the Heavenly Void Land, and the closer Lin Moyu got, the quieter his surroundings became.

In all directions for tens of thousands of li, centered on the palace, there was not a single living thing not even a blade of grass. All was barren.

A constant wind blew, and when it struck the ferry, the vessel rang with an endless rumble and vibration.

That wind was Chaos Wind. Any unchaotified lifeform would be shredded in an instant.

Even Lin Moyu himself couldn’t last two seconds in that wind before being wholly destroyed.

Wherever the Chaos Wind went, nothing lived so how could even a trace of life remain in this place?

Lin Moyu understood that, if not for the ferry, he would never have been able to reach the first palace. At least on this point, the Fifth Generation Master had told the truth; the Ferry of Tribulation was essential here.

Finally, a grand palace came into view.

Unlike the earlier palaces, the First Gen Heavenly Void Palace was a true palace tens of thousands of meters high and wide, overwhelmingly magnificent.

Pure chaos qi gushed from its heart, transforming into the Chaos Wind that swept far into the distance.

It appeared utterly intact. The collapse of domains seemed to have had no effect on it.

Lin Moyu had an odd feeling: “Why does the First Heavenly Void Palace look more like a sacrificial hall?”

He considered the plaque he’d just received. Perhaps this was truly its intended use a vessel for sacrifice.

Guiding the ferry closer, Lin Moyu took out the Causal Ring to ensure he could leave the palace safely if need be.

Boom!

A violent backlash from the Causal Ring tore his body to shreds!
