Chapter 3775: The Cause-Seeking Ring
The Three Lives Buddha had once peered into the Fate Great Dao not just once, but many times.
Through these repeated glimpses, he saw far into the future and countless possibilities, leading him to place unwavering faith in fate.
To Lin Moyu, this faith was both a shackle and a burden.
Many cultivators were like this they trusted their Great Dao completely. However, when that trust exceeded its limits, their Great Dao became a cage.
For the Three Lives Buddha, the Fate Great Dao was both his cage and his heart's obstacle something only he could overcome.
Lin Moyu remarked, "Senior, after arriving in Radiant Light Great Spirit Domain, you surely didn't just sleep here. Am I correct in assuming so?"
"Moreover, your choice of Radiant Light Great Spirit Domain wasn't random there must have been deeper reasons behind it."
The Three Lives Buddha nodded. "You are correct. My actions were not without cause the root lies in what I obtained from beyond that gate."
Lin Moyu's curiosity deepened. "What did you obtain?"
"The Heaven-Concealing Stone, the Void Disk, and the Myriad Intent Diagram."
Without hesitation, the Three Lives Buddha revealed what he had gained.
His acquisitions overlapped with those of the Hell Master but also differed in some aspects.
The Heaven-Concealing Stone was identical it could deceive even world wills by erasing one's true spirit from Origin Continent granting freedom.
However, it required convincing the world will that one was already dead for the stone to fully activate.
The Hell Master had used the Immortal Gem in conjunction with the Heaven-Concealing Stone to achieve this deception.
In contrast, the Three Lives Buddha relied on his Three Lives Secret Method, which allowed him to create incarnations indistinguishable from his true self when infused with soul power.
By combining an incarnation with the Heaven-Concealing Stone, he successfully deceived the world will and regained his freedom.
Although he suffered some losses, it was far less severe than the Hell Master's prolonged slumber of millions of years.
After regaining his freedom, the Three Lives Buddha wasn't truly safe, so he used the Void Disk to traverse vast distances across Soul Void and reality.
The Void Disk enabled synchronized teleportation between realms covering billions of kilometers instantly with astonishing speed.
Through repeated teleportation, he eventually reached Radiant Light Great Spirit Domain.
Having glimpsed future events through the Fate Great Dao, the Three Lives Buddha sent an incarnation to Golden Furnace Great Spirit Domain's vacuum zone where it entered a virtual-illusory realm.
There, he merged with innate primordial material to preserve himself until Lin Moyu's arrival.
Over countless years, numerous virtual beasts entered that realm but never left they were obliterated by the Three Lives Buddha using a unique method that destroyed their souls.
He also used these souls including those of Dao Lords to nourish himself, ensuring his incarnation's survival.
Additionally, he left behind one final use of the Void Disk within that realm.
As for the Myriad Intent Diagram it was an exceptionally unique treasure.
It functioned across both Soul Void and reality allowing him to split his will into countless incarnations imbued with his full strength for limited durations.
In Radiant Light Great Spirit Domain where strong lifeforms couldn't exist due to its innate primordial virtual treasure the Three Lives Buddha used the Myriad Intent Diagram to create ten thousand incarnations.
These incarnations scoured Radiant Light Great Spirit Domain for worlds entered them and sought to seize their origin cores.
Not all succeeded, but many did and virtual beasts within those worlds were powerless against him.
As a result, many worlds in Radiant Light Great Spirit Domain now belonged to the Three Lives Buddha.
Though he didn't specify how many, Lin Moyu refrained from asking further the number was undoubtedly significant given the Three Lives Buddha's strength during his prime a level surpassing even the Hell Master at his peak.
Radiant Light Great Spirit Domain's weak worlds made them easy to claim a characteristic that was both an advantage and a limitation.
Weak worlds offered limited utility but someone like the Three Lives Buddha wouldn't engage in meaningless actions.
His meticulous preparations including waiting for Lin Moyu indicated he hadn't abandoned resistance against Origin Continent's world will.
In other words, the grudge from back then remained unresolved in his heart.
Lin Moyu asked, "It seems you've been busy over these years."
The Three Lives Buddha replied, "Indeed I've done much. This domain's weak worlds allowed me to claim them easily and I've since nurtured them."
"I transformed virtual beasts from illusory beings into real ones turning them into lifeforms within these worlds to accelerate their growth toward forming world wills."
"Now several worlds have reached their formative stages. While they're still weaker than Origin Continent's world wills they can provide some assistance when needed."
Lin Moyu thought to himself: As expected the Three Lives Buddha wouldn't remain idle.
As one of history's greatest geniuses and creator of the Three Lives Secret Method it was impossible for him to lose heart like the Hell Master and abandon revenge entirely.
This approach made sense with several worlds reaching formative stages they already possessed considerable combat strength.
Even if they couldn't challenge Origin Continent's world will directly they could at least contend with its subordinates effectively.
Lin Moyu asked, "How do you plan to act when the time comes? The Void Disk is spent and this place is far from Origin Continent. Moving formative-stage worlds isn't easy."
The Three Lives Buddha replied, "That's why further preparations are needed."
Lin Moyu chuckled lightly. "You want me to find that gate enter it and retrieve new Void Disks?"
The Three Lives Buddha chanted softly. "You are perceptive. Beyond that gate lie many Void Disks you may find several if given the chance they are incredibly useful."
"Moreover that gate holds countless treasures. If you obtain suitable ones they could aid greatly against him."
Lin Moyu remarked cautiously, "But beyond that gate lies great danger."
The Three Lives Buddha acknowledged this solemnly: "Indeed it is up to you now I cannot assist further. Beware of the entity beyond that gate it is both dangerous and cunning."
At this moment a radiant wheel rose behind him shrouded in ethereal mist under dazzling Buddhist light a stunning sight.
"This is my gift to you," he said finally.
This item was clearly why Lin Moyu had been summoned here it had been prepared specifically for him all along.
Accepting it the light faded revealing its true form:
A jade ring inscribed with dense Divine Runes that moved ceaselessly across its surface.
"A Cause-and-Effect Treasure!" Lin Moyu exclaimed it was a Dao Lord-level artifact!
The Three Lives Buddha explained: "This is called the Cause-Seeking Ring I prepared it for you specifically. However it requires Dao Lord cultivation to use properly I hope you wield it wisely."
Lin Moyu didn't examine it immediately instead bowing slightly toward him: "Thank you, Senior."
The Three Lives Buddha replied calmly: "No need for thanks I have my reasons for doing this as I'm sure you've guessed. If possible we should work together toward success."
Lin Moyu declared resolutely: "Failure is not an option I value my life too much which is why I'll ensure this succeeds."
