Chapter 4508: If You Want to Talk, Come Down I'm Too Lazy to Go Up
Someone else approached the aura of a Perfection powerhouse oppressed the scene before they even arrived.
Those at chaos Minor Completion felt nothing, but the Great Completion cultivators visibly paled, each backing away to escape the pressure.
Firelight appeared in the air. It was another Blood Sea Division member of Four Seas Sect, this time at the elder level.
A figure clad in blazing red stepped from the teleport array. The earlier arrivals instantly bowed respectfully.
"Welcome, Elder Tianmie" and the elder known as Elder Tianhuo appeared, his body solid and wreathed in burning robes, his very presence forming a sea of illusory fire in the skies above Eastward Border.
Everyone saw the fire sea, even though it was only an illusion. Elder Tianhuo stepped from the array, hovering in midair, eyes sweeping aggressively over the crowd.
No one dared to meet his gaze; all avoided his eyes by looking down.
He seemed satisfied, but the moment he saw Lin Moyu, he noticed Lin Moyu meeting his gaze studying him curiously, almost as if observing a rare creature.
Elder Tianhuo frowned slightly but did not grow angry Lin Moyu appeared to him as simply a chaos Minor Completion youth with a strong Dao heart.
"Not a bad seed," he thought, seeing a smile in Lin Moyu's eyes and nodding in greeting.
But then Tianhuo realized he'd misjudged. Lin Moyu wasn't simply strong willed; he was outright unconcerned with the elder's status.
A chaos Minor Completion youth, smiling and nodding at a Perfection elder as if evaluating his inferior.
This left Elder Tianhuo discomforted but he couldn't complain, as Lin Moyu hadn't said or done anything inappropriate.
Lin Moyu, for his part, was simply curious.
This Four Seas Sect, Fire Sea Division elder had powerful presence and immense soul force the mark of a strong combatant.
Yet Lin Moyu could see the man's foundation was unstable.
His might was thanks to powerful arts, not depth of cultivation; such a one would struggle to reach greater heights and was likely at his upper limit already.
Qing Yu's voice sounded: "Senior, this is Elder Tianhuo from Fire Sea Division, one of eight elders, ranked in the top three there and in the whole sect, top twenty at least."
Lin Moyu was surprised, "How do you know this so clearly, right down to the rank?"
Qing Yu explained, "It's public record the Central Domain God Alliance keeps detailed rankings for all major factions. If you're ever curious, you can check."
Lin Moyu chuckled, "So that's it. I've never browsed their database."
Qing Yu continued, "The database is comprehensive rankings for all strong cultivators in the four poles and three domains.
Of course, my own cultivation isn't high enough to access everything; I've only seen what's permitted at my level."
This prompted Lin Moyu: "What about Wine Venerable, how is he ranked?"
Qing Yu replied: "Wine Venerable is counted as one of the Central Domain's true peak experts everyone knows of him.
If there's a ranking, he's definitely in the top ten.
But really, those top experts are only unofficially ranked everyone makes their own lists.
Some people say Wine Venerable is the undisputed number one under the Supreme realm."
Lin Moyu laughed: "That's true everyone has their own ideas about rank."
They kept chatting; though Qing Yu belonged to a subordinate force, not the main alliance, she did have access to the records she often worked odd jobs, including in the archives, allowing her to read nearly everything within her limits.
Though only a Dao Lord, she actually knew a lot about the various powers.
Meanwhile, Elder Tianhuo saw Lin Moyu and Qing Yu chatting and found himself unable to hear a thing, which should have been impossible given his power even soul transmission should not have shielded them.
He tried to listen in, but no sound reached him.
Frowning even more, he sent a wave of pressure to blanket the pair but the moment it touched Lin Moyu, it vanished.
Lin Moyu and Qing Yu continued their casual conversation, entirely unaffected.
Elder Tianhuo's frown deepened; he sensed something off. "This kid isn't simple..."
He felt ignored, his displeasure growing, and released an even greater pressure.
The Fire Sea cultivators nearby noticed and stared at Lin Moyu as well, intensifying the oppressive force.
Still, Lin Moyu showed no reaction.
Elder Tianhuo's pressure grew stronger, now condensed into a fist of force under this, even chaos Great Completion would be forced to the ground.
Finally, Lin Moyu responded.
He looked up at Elder Tianhuo and moved his lips.
Elder Tianhuo shuddered, his pressure evaporating, his expression cycling through embarrassment, disbelief, and finally, utter shock.
What he'd heard was simple: Lin Moyu's voice in his mind, resonating like thunder: "Enough!"
The words carried soul power, shaking Tianhuo's very spirit.
At last, he realized Lin Moyu wasn't chaos Minor Completion at all.
How could one at that stage have such soul force? Lin Moyu's spiritual depth utterly eclipsed his own.
Elder Tianhuo instantly withdrew his arrogance and bowed toward Lin Moyu: "Daoist friend, would you come up for a talk?"
His attitude was genuinely respectful, devoid of earlier pride.
Everyone watched as he addressed a "mere" chaos Minor Completion cultivator.
Why would an elder treat someone like that?
Lin Moyu, however, replied flatly: "If you want to chat, come down. I'm too lazy to go up."
This shocked everyone present such a tone from someone of Lin Moyu's apparent level, to a Perfection elder!
And yet Tianhuo responded even more astonishingly, "Alright!"
and came down, politely saluting Lin Moyu before all, posture more humble than anyone had seen before.
Even the other Fire Sea cultivators stood dumbfounded at the sight.
