Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3495: Selfishness is Also a Way

Lin Moyu put away the Ten Thousand Phenomena Mirror as if it had always been his, without any regard for the Ten Thousand Scenes Holy Land’s feelings.

Slowly flying out from the competition platform, he looked at the three elders of the Ten Thousand Scenes Holy Land from afar: “Your Holy Land’s Phantom God Holy Son was killed by the malicious spirit. Fortunately, this mirror’s malicious spirit has been tamed by me. I will temporarily keep this mirror for your Holy Land for a while. What do the three elders think?”

Keeping it? Everyone knew that once something was kept, it would never be returned.

But how could the three elders of the Ten Thousand Scenes Holy Land dare to ask Lin Moyu to return the Ten Thousand Phenomena Mirror now?

Everyone had seen that although the Phantom God Holy Son didn’t die by Lin Moyu’s hand, he died because of Lin Moyu.

Now the Phantom God Holy Son was dead, the Ten Thousand Phenomena Mirror was lost, and they, three mighty ninth-level elders, didn’t dare to make a sound.

To say they had lost face would be an understatement. They had completely disgraced themselves.

But they couldn’t bring themselves to say a word of disagreement.

After several awkward seconds, Elder Dream Landscape finally spoke: “Then we’ll trouble Mr. Lin.”

Not only could they not refuse, but they also had to be polite, addressing Lin Moyu as “Mr.”

Lin Moyu nodded: “If the Ten Thousand Scenes Holy Land has any issues in the future, you can send someone to notify me. I’ll help if I can.”

After saying this, Lin Moyu returned to the upper level, disappearing into the clouds and mist.

The disciples’ competition wasn’t over yet. Although the incident with the Ten Thousand Scenes Holy Land’s Phantom God Holy Son had occurred, the scheduled proceedings still had to continue. The Ancient Lotus Holy Lord would continue to preside.

Returning to the upper lotus platform, the Beast Emperor laughed heartily: “Fellow Daoist Lin is quite impressive.”

Lin Moyu said: “I had no choice. The situation demanded it. He started it, and I was just forced to respond.”

The Three Ancestors said: “What a good ’forced response.’ To be able to say this with such a clear conscience, your face is truly thick enough.”

Lin Moyu said: “I’m just learning from the Three Ancestors.”

Although he knew their true identities might be shocking, Lin Moyu didn’t change his attitude. He remained the same as before.

Hearing Lin Moyu speak like this, the Three Ancestors didn’t get angry. Instead, their tone became gentle: “Having thick skin is a good thing. Sometimes you can’t think too much or worry too much. Just do what your conscience allows, don’t always try to please everyone. The more you try to do so, the harder it becomes to please anyone.”

At this moment, the Three Ancestors were like a mentor teaching a promising junior, imparting some wisdom.

For beings at the level of the Three Ancestors, sometimes one or two sentences from them might be more useful than listening to an entire lecture.

If not every word was a pearl of wisdom, it was at least enough to guide one’s Dao heart.

Lin Moyu naturally understood the meaning behind the Three Ancestors’ words. He half-jokingly said: “The Three Ancestors are right. I’m quite selfish and have always only cared about myself.”

The Three Ancestors chuckled: “Selfishness is also a way.”

The disciples’ competition began again. Lin Moyu had no interest in these childish fights. Without realizing it, Lin Moyu was already high above, looking down on all beings.

Watching them fight at most made Lin Moyu feel a bit nostalgic, remembering when he too was like them, participating in competition after competition to prove himself.

It seemed this was something all those who became high-level beings had to experience.

Lin Moyu’s Dao heart was clear. Past and future intertwined at this moment, and he saw clearly the path ahead of him.

Mist appeared in his eyes as he saw his own fortune rising.

A large amount of fortune was converging from all directions, and Lin Moyu’s fortune was growing.

The small competition with the Phantom God Holy Son just now, and the appearance of the World-Burning Fire, had rapidly elevated his status in the eyes of the various elders.

If they weren’t fools, the top forces would know they shouldn’t provoke him, that they couldn’t afford to provoke him.

Although nothing was said on the surface, those elders had already placed him on the same level as the Three Ancestors and the Beast Emperor.

Their will and thoughts were reflected in the fortune, and part of the fortune of various top forces fell on him as a result.

Ordinary people couldn’t see or feel this. Without cultivating the Fortune Great Dao, even Great Dao realm beings like the Three Ancestors might not be able to sense changes in fortune.

The Three Ancestors could only sense fortune through some special treasures.

But Lin Moyu could clearly see the changes in fortune.

While seeing the changes in fortune, Lin Moyu also began to understand the Three Ancestors’ plans.

Spreading the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce throughout the world was like setting up numerous points, using the name of the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce and himself as a banner to collect the fortune of heaven and earth.

In the eyes of the Three Ancestors, fortune was also a very important part of their overall plan.

“Unfortunately, your arrangements might not be correct!” Lin Moyu said silently in his heart.

He didn’t believe the methods of the Three Ancestors and the Beast Emperor were correct. Becoming the true dominator in the great changes of heaven and earth wasn’t so easy.

The competition lasted a full day before ending. The Ancient Lotus Immortal Banquet entered its third phase: lectures by the various elders.

Just as the lectures were about to begin, the King of the Boundary Sea put down his wine cup, “This King should take his leave.”

The Beast Emperor also chimed in, “This Emperor will leave too. After drinking so much wine, it’s time to go back and have a good nap.”

The Three Ancestors chuckled, “Then let’s leave together.”

Ximoon didn’t try to keep the three. Her beautiful face carried a smile, “Ximoon wishes the three of you success in your endeavors.”

The three’s forms faded simultaneously, becoming indistinct and vanishing.

Lin Moyu said, “Then this junior will also take his leave.”

Ximoon said, “Fellow Daoist Lin won’t stay a few more days?”

Lin Moyu said, “My business here is done, so I won’t stay longer. I wish Elder Ximoon a speedy recovery from your injuries.”

Ximoon didn’t try to keep him further: “If that’s the case, then I won’t force Fellow Daoist Lin to stay. Take care, Fellow Daoist Lin.”

Lin Moyu smiled and flew down from the upper level.

At this time, an elder had already begun lecturing, and everyone was listening attentively. Not many people noticed Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu came to Little Mei’s side, “Little Mei, it’s time to go.”

Although Little Mei was somewhat reluctant to leave the delicious food, she was still obedient. She wiped her hands: “Okay!”

The Ancient Lotus Holy Lord and the Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden both stood up: “The ancestor has said that the Immortal Lotus will see Mr. Lin out.”

Lin Moyu smiled, “Thank you for your trouble!”

The Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden summoned a lotus flower to take Lin Moyu and Little Mei away.

On the way out of the Ancient Lotus Holy Land, the Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden suddenly asked, “Where will Mr. Lin go next?”

Lin Moyu said, “I’ve been away for a long time. It’s time to go back and check on things. If the Immortal Lotus has time, you can come visit Yuedao City in the Eastern Continent.”

The Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden smiled, “The Immortal Lotus will come. Will Mr. Lin attend the next Genius Competition?”

Lin Moyu said, “It depends on the situation. I might come or might not. The world changes, and no one can say for sure.”

The Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden nodded and didn’t speak further.

The lotus flower flew out of the Ancient Lotus Holy Land. Lin Moyu summoned the Cloud-Piercing Sword for Little Mei to sit on, and they quickly pierced through the clouds and disappeared.

The Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden watched until Lin Moyu was out of sight before slowly saying, “Take care!”

Her tone and gaze were complex, carrying a hint of helplessness. She stood there for a long while before turning to go back.
