Chapter 1454: Dominating the Inner Realm, a Cup to Erase Past Grievances (Second Update)
Wang Lin cupped his fist towards Lufu Zi, a smile on his face.
"For today's matter, during a battle in the Outer Realm, I, Wang, will repay you. Fellow Daoist Lufu Zi, please do not take offense."
Wang Lin's attitude remained consistent. He did not take advantage of the situation to humiliate Lufu Zi. Lufu Zi remained silent for a moment, then sighed inwardly, his expression softening. He forced a smile and cupped his fist towards Wang Lin.
"For Fellow Daoist Wang to possess such cultivation is a blessing for our Inner Realm. I humbly admit defeat, but there is one question I do not understand. These two… these two great mighty Fellow Daoists, are they from…" Lufu Zi did not say everything, merely pointing to the end of the Starry Sky.
Wang Lin nodded with a smile.
Behind him, Venerable Ling Dong's gaze fell upon Lufu Zi. He cupped his fist and said in a deep voice, "I am Ling Dong, the Old Ancestor of the Ling Dong Clan from the Primordial Stars of the Outer Realm!"
Although Lufu Zi had his suspicions, hearing Ling Dong's words still moved him.
"Ling Dong Clan, Old Ancestor!"
"The Ling Dong Clan is not a large clan in the Primordial Stars, with only a mere ten thousand clansmen," Venerable Ling Dong said calmly, retracting his gaze.
"This is…" Lufu Zi cupped his fist towards Ling Dong. Although the other party was Wang Lin's slave, in Lufu Zi's eyes, the other party was still a great mighty Fellow Daoist equal to himself. After cupping his fist, Lufu Zi looked at the silent Zhou Jin.
"Zhou Jin, Old Ancestor of the Feng Tian Wolf Clan from the Primordial Stars of the Outer Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Lufu Zi, despite being in the Starry Sky, still took a deep breath of the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi. He had already guessed when he saw the blood wolf shadow behind Zhou Jin. He had heard long ago that in the Outer Realm, there was a clan that served the Illusory Heavenly Wolf! It was a continuation of a massive tribe from the Primordial Era.
The Divine Abilities of the people of this clan were related to wolf shadows. Because their Legacy was ancient, their power of incense was dense, and they could produce Third Step mighty figures! Upon hearing Zhou Jin's words, Lufu Zi immediately confirmed the other party's identity!
"This Wang Lin actually went to the Outer Realm! Moreover, he enslaved the ancestors of two clans from the Outer Realm. This…" Lufu Zi's gaze towards Wang Lin immediately changed. As a Third Step mighty figure, he knew how difficult it was to make someone of his caliber a slave!
This was different from taking an enemy general's head amidst a thousand armies; this was directly going and refining someone into a slave!
With Lufu Zi's cultivation, he naturally saw that both Ling Dong and Zhou Jin had the same rune on their foreheads, clearly indicating they had been forcibly refined into Wang Lin's slaves!
Especially since Wang Lin had not truly reached the Third Step yet, making the difficulty even greater!
"I haven't heard of the Ling Dong Clan, but this Wolf Clan should be one of the great clans of the Outer Realm. This Wang Lin is not simple! What exactly did he do in the Outer Realm? It must have been earth-shattering!" Lufu Zi rarely admired anyone in his life, but at this moment, his heart was filled with admiration for Wang Lin!
"Fellow Daoist Wang, have you been to the Outer Realm?" Lufu Zi swept away his previous gloom and asked, cupping his fist.
"Before, I was returning from the Outer Realm." Wang Lin saw Lufu Zi's change. He was not an unreasonable person. The other party had no grievances with him, and although his cultivation was profound and he had two mighty slaves, he would not be arrogant and overbearing, but rather treat each other courteously.
"Good, good! Previously, the Demon Sect and Divine Sect of the Cloud Sea Star Domain simultaneously issued a sealed order, using the Venerable of the Sealed Realm's will from back then, proclaiming to all four Star Domains within the Inner Realm that the Primordial Stars of the Outer Realm were stirring, showing signs of launching another invasion into our Inner Realm! Several mighty figures within our Inner Realm joined forces to open the barriers of the four Star Domains, allowing free passage and no longer any blockade!
The four Star Domains are simultaneously preparing for war, ready to resist the humiliation from the Outer Realm! I harbor deep hatred for the Outer Realm. When the Outer Realm first invaded our Inner Realm, I was a small Immortal Lord in the Thunder Immortal Realm and personally witnessed that unforgettable, tragic battle… Today, hearing that Fellow Daoist has returned from the Outer Realm, you must be extremely knowledgeable about the various clans of the Outer Realm. This alone can let our Inner Realm know the changes in the people of the Outer Realm over tens of thousands of years!"
The existence of the Sealed Realm Array left most Cultivators within the Inner Realm in ignorance, unaware of the sealed array and the Primordial Stars. Only a small portion knew, but dared not venture into the Outer Realm to investigate. Therefore, for tens of thousands of years, news was blocked, which was extremely fatal for pre-war preparations!
Wang Lin's words made Lufu Zi completely stop thinking about their previous tension, and he burst into laughter.
"Regarding matters of the Outer Realm, I, Wang, should have grasped some," Wang Lin said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, do you have any other matters? If not, why don't you and I have a good chat? I have some good wine left from the Immortal Realm from back then, which I'm reluctant to drink myself. Today is a joyous occasion, how about we drink to our heart's content!" Lufu Zi laughed heartily and gestured with one hand towards Wang Lin.
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the words he had just spoken about not seeing him off.
Wang Lin put away the ancient demon in his hand and pondered for a moment.
This dramatic change left the tens of thousands of Cultivators around them dumbfounded. Even Yan Lei Zi and Lie Yun Zi were somewhat slow to react. But these two were, after all, renowned figures, and they could see that Lufu Zi was genuinely happy. After a brief thought, they guessed some of Lufu Zi's intentions.
Lufu Zi had no enmity with Wang Lin, and Wang Lin's return from the Outer Realm would surely make his name sky-high in the Inner Realm. Such a person naturally needed to be befriended. Moreover, Wang Lin had been very polite earlier and had given Lufu Zi an out. If Lufu Zi still didn't know better, he would have lived these tens of thousands of years in vain.
Therefore, he wanted to resolve the previous unpleasantness with this. Wang Lin naturally saw through this intention and nodded with a smile.
Old Monsters who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years were all unfathomable in their minds. Although not everyone was like a demon, they were certainly not naive children.
With a smile, Lufu Zi flicked his sleeve, and golden light immediately shot out from within, paving the way forward. The golden light stretched for ten thousand feet, transforming into a straight path, and strains of music appeared out of thin air, drifting faintly.
Even around this golden path, there were countless illusory Fairies, dancing gracefully, enveloping the entire Starry Sky. In the Starry Sky above, nine golden Dragons roared and soared, circling and dancing, displaying a magnificent momentum.
Countless Immortal figures also materialized, scattered in all directions, bowing in unison towards Wang Lin.
These various illusions were extremely grand, words could not express even a fraction. With such a display, Lufu Zi showed his respect for Wang Lin, and also used the collective bow of the countless Immortals as an apology for having previously obstructed Wang Lin.
"Fellow Daoist Wang Lin, please!" Lufu Zi's laughter was hearty. As Wang Lin cupped his fist in return, the two stepped forward simultaneously, without precedence, entering the Vortex.
Immortal mountains materialized one after another, instantly filling the massive Vortex, and at its center, a lake appeared. Within the lake, numerous Fairies were actually laughing and playing, and mist rose, obscuring their graceful figures, making them appear and disappear, utterly enchanting.
Beside the lake, a pavilion had appeared at some unknown time, with two Fairies respectfully standing by, holding two jade pots. Waves of Immortal Qi emanated from the jade pots, and a single whiff was refreshing to the heart.
Yan Lei Zi and Lie Yun Zi stood respectfully to the side, looking at everyone with complex expressions.
The tens of thousands of Cultivators around slowly gathered, but at Yan Lei Zi's voice transmission, they immediately dispersed, resuming their array formation duties.
The two sat in the pavilion, and Zhou Jin and Ling Dong were also invited by Lufu Zi to sit there. With a Fairy pouring wine, Lufu Zi raised his wine cup and smiled, "You and I are old acquaintances. Let us erase the unpleasantness from earlier with a cup upon our reunion!" Saying this, he drank it all.
Wang Lin raised his wine cup, swept it with his Divine Sense, and drank it dry! His eyes immediately lit up. The wine was not spicy upon entry, but transformed into a fierce fire upon swallowing, circulating directly within his body, warming him all over, and releasing a fragrant aroma in his mouth.
"Good wine!" Wang Lin praised.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, I am very curious about your experiences in the Outer Realm. Would you mind telling me about them?" Putting down his wine cup, Lufu Zi smiled.
Wang Lin smiled and briefly recounted some selected events from the Outer Realm.
His calm words, however, caused Lufu Zi's expression to change constantly, especially upon hearing about the destruction of the Flashing Thunder Clan, the Heavenly Dao appearing in the Seven Million Worlds raised by the Flashing Thunder Clan, all the things Wang Lin encountered, and the existence of Venerable San Ling.
Lufu Zi took a sip of wine, his eyes revealing solemnity.
"Seven Million Worlds… what a respectable Venerable San Ling! Although this person's cultivation is not that of a mighty figure, his actions possess a Heaven-Defying will!"
Ling Dong and Zhou Jin, who were nearby, only vaguely knew that the destruction of the Flashing Thunder Clan was related to Wang Lin, and had never heard the details. Hearing them now, they were both moved.
Different positions lead to vastly different perspectives. Zhou Jin and Ling Dong looked at each other and remained silent.
Yan Lei Zi and Lie Yun Zi, accompanying them, also heard Wang Lin's words and both gasped, showing shock. What shocked them, besides Wang Lin's actions in the Outer Realm, was their admiration for Venerable San Ling.
"Senior Wang Lin, did you encounter Venerable San Ling afterwards?" Yan Lei Zi hesitated, then asked, cupping his fist.
Wang Lin shook his head. After the Flashing Thunder Clan incident, he was pursued and left in a hurry, thus having no further contact with Venerable San Ling.
As Wang Lin spoke of the pursuit by the Chang Zun Society in the Outer Realm, those thrilling scenes made Lufu Zi's eyes gleam. He could tell that everything Wang Lin said was real. Such experiences, he asked himself, if he were in Wang Lin's shoes, he would likely find it very difficult to overcome.
Wang Lin naturally wouldn't mention the Land of Falling and some other key places. But what he did say was enough to shock Lufu Zi, especially after hearing about the Venerable Master, which made Lufu Zi take a deep breath.
If he was like this, there was even less need to mention Yan Lei Zi and Lie Yun Zi. Hearing these dangerous scenes, they finally understood how Wang Lin had obtained his current cultivation!
Their gazes towards Wang Lin were now filled with deep admiration. Lie Yun Zi was especially so. Recalling the past scenes and looking at today, his heart was complex, but he also knew that everything the other party had now was by no means a fluke!
"Lie Yun Zi, I have met your Zhan Family Old Ancestor, Zhan Xingye!" Wang Lin's gaze fell upon Lie Yun Zi. After a slight pause, he slowly spoke.
As his words came out, Lie Yun Zi's entire body trembled. He looked up, his expression showing excitement, and bowed deeply to Wang Lin.
"Please tell me, Senior, where exactly is my ancestor!"
