Chapter 3303

Lin Moyu was surprised. He had been focused on the arena and hadn't noticed anyone, but when he turned his head, he saw the Spirit Demon Clan's Sword Emperor walking over, followed by a group of Spirit Demon clansmen. The Sword Emperor was now at the Half-step Chaos Realm.

It was clear he had advanced after leaving the Origin Continent. This was only natural, as he had suppressed himself for so many years while on the Origin Continent. Once he left, his advancement was expected. Lin Moyu smiled and said, "So it is Fellow Daoist Sword Emperor. What a coincidence!"

The Sword Emperor's expression was extremely ugly at this moment. His eyes held not only anger but also a hint of killing intent. He spoke in a cold voice, "I didn't expect you to come here."

Lin Moyu smiled. "So many years have passed; isn't it normal for me to have transcended?"

The Sword Emperor raged, "If you had hidden in the Domain, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to you, but now that you've come out, I will definitely not spare you."

Lin Moyu remained smiling. "Why is the Sword Emperor so angry? I don't recall doing anything to wrong you."

The Sword Emperor shouted, "The day we were forced to leave the Domain, it was you who caused it!"

Lin Moyu said, "Fellow Daoist Sword Emperor, there is one thing I hope you understand: that was never your Domain to begin with, so isn't it normal for you to leave? And don't forget what you were doing behind our backs in the Domain."

The Sword Emperor's expression shifted slightly. Lin Moyu was speaking the truth; they were indeed not from the Domain, and they had been stealing the Essence of the Great Dao from it. However, he was thick-skinned and coldly snorted, "If it weren't for us, your Domain would have been finished long ago."

Lin Moyu replied with a cold laugh. "You should know very well why you came to the Domain; I didn't beg you to come. If you have any grievances, take them up with that person; don't come looking for me. Besides, do you even have the guts to find me?"

Lin Moyu's tone had turned completely cold, showing no respect to the Sword Emperor. Stealing the Essence of the Great Dao from the Five-World Domain was a matter of varying severity. If Lin Moyu were not the Lord of the Realm, it might have been a minor matter unrelated to him. But now that he was the Lord of the Realm, every blade of grass and tree in the Domain belonged to him. Did they expect him to be grateful to them for stealing in his own home?

The Sword Emperor's expression flickered repeatedly. He thought of the person behind Lin Moyu—that could be a Great Venerable. How could they afford to provoke a Great Venerable? Even though they were forced to leave at the time and suffered huge losses later, there was nowhere to seek justice. The Sword Emperor shouted, "But you once promised this Sovereign that you would kill Tun Yuan with your own hands."

Lin Moyu smiled. "That's right. I did promise, but I never specified a time, did I? You…" The Sword Emperor realized he had been tricked. Lin Moyu had indeed promised, but he had never committed to a timeframe.

Lin Moyu waved his hand. "There's no need to say anything more. You did help guard the Domain for many years, which is why I didn't do anything to you even though I knew you were stealing the Essence of the Great Dao. Otherwise, I could have kept all of you in the Domain. I only forced you to leave, yet you turn around and want to settle scores with me? Who is the unreasonable one here?"

"The appearance of Tun Yuan was an accident, but for a Chaos race like yours to be unable to deal with a creature that hasn't even reached the Chaos Realm? That is your problem." Lin Moyu's words caused the Sword Emperor's expression to shift constantly, looking exceptionally ugly. He knew Lin Moyu was being somewhat sophistical, but he couldn't think of any way to refute him. The key was that a Great Venerable might be standing behind Lin Moyu. They couldn't afford to provoke one. Finally, the Sword Emperor snorted. "Let's go!"

He led his people away, clearly very angry, but helpless against Lin Moyu. Only then did Pang Jing ask, "Fellow Daoist Lin, do you need us to intervene?"

Lin Moyu shook his head. "No need. After all, I have fought side-by-side with them before; I will give them one chance. If there is a next time, I will handle it myself." Since Lin Moyu had already said so, Pang Jing did not intend to overstep. "Then, Fellow Daoist Lin, if you have any needs, feel free to let us know at any time."

Pang Jing was being too polite. Even if she treated him as an honored guest, it shouldn't be to this extent. It could only be said that she must have received new instructions; the Pang Jing from half a day ago was different from the current one.

The crowd in the square grew larger and larger, with many people going to fight in the arena or just watching the show. Pang Jing led Lin Moyu around the arena and headed toward other areas.

The atmosphere of the Three Phoenix Festival was intense. Some of the Divine Phoenix Clan's specialties were brought out for sale. There were two ways of trading in the Chaos: one was barter, and the other was using Chaos Gold as currency. Chaos Gold was a special material in the Chaos, containing compressed Chaos Qi, which could be used for cultivation and was more efficient than absorbing Chaos Qi directly.

Lin Moyu did not have any Chaos Gold on hand, so even if he saw something, he couldn't buy it. Pang Jing took out quite a bit of Chaos Gold and gave it to Lin Moyu, which was more than enough to buy some small items. Along the way, Lin Moyu browsed casually and tasted many of the Divine Phoenix Clan's specialty delicacies.

In addition to the Divine Phoenix Clan, there were merchants from other races selling goods here. One of the most distinctive races was called the Hunyuan Lizard Clan. Their tails were excellent materials for refining artifacts and were quite valuable. However, their tails could regenerate, so they would sell their own tails in exchange for treasures or Chaos Gold. Selling oneself—this practice left Lin Moyu feeling amazed.

As Pang Jing and Lin Moyu chatted, Lin Moyu finally learned his current location. The Chaos is divided into Four Poles and Three Domains. He was located in the Central Domain, specifically in the eastern part of the Central Domain. The center of any area was the territory of a Great Venerable, and other races could only thrive on the periphery.

If one wanted to travel from the Central Domain to other areas, there were two methods. The simplest one was to fly there oneself; whether crossing with one's physical body or relying on magical artifacts, both were possible. There were natural passages between areas, and one could follow these passages without getting lost. If one did not follow the passages, one would have to traverse the Ancient Wilderness, which could be dangerous and might lead to getting lost.

There was another method: using the Cross-Domain Array set up by the Great Venerables. While this was fast, the cost was exorbitant, and ordinary cultivators simply could not afford it. A single cross-Domain teleportation could empty the life savings of a Chaos Realm Great Success expert. There was no helping it; the Chaos was simply too vast, and since this was an array set up by a Great Venerable, if one found it too expensive, one didn't have to take it. It was said that the Great Venerable's Dao was hidden within the Cross-Domain Array, and if one could comprehend even a little, it would be of great benefit to one's cultivation. Thus, expensive as it was, many people were still willing to spend the money.

Pang Jing asked, "Is Fellow Daoist Lin planning to travel to other areas?" Lin Moyu did not deny it. "The Chaos is so vast. I want to go and see it." Pang Jing smiled. "Indeed. There are many wonders in the Chaos, and there are infinite opportunities in the Ancient Wilderness. If Fellow Daoist Lin wishes to travel to other areas, you must go before reaching Chaos Realm Perfection."

Lin Moyu asked curiously, "Why?" Pang Jing said, "Because the Great Venerables in each area have issued orders prohibiting Perfection-level Experts from outside the Domain from entering. Not long ago, a Perfection-level Expert from outside the Domain snuck in and was almost killed." Lin Moyu immediately thought of Mo Lan and couldn't help asking, "Almost killed? Did he escape?"

Pang Jing nodded. "It is said so, but how he escaped is unclear. If Fellow Daoist Lin wishes to know, you can ask the City Lord." Lin Moyu looked ahead. Just in time, he was coming.

Chapter 4322: Purple Gold Seeking Phoenix

City Lord Pang Qi strode over with a warm smile on his face, even with a hint of obsequiousness. He was the City Lord of the Seventh City of Luoyu. The Divine Phoenix clansmen in the city bowed to him one after another. "Greetings, City Lord!" Pang Jing bowed and greeted him.

Pang Qi just gave a hum; it was obvious that there was a great disparity in their statuses. Pang Qi smiled. "What are you chatting about?" Pang Jing said, "Fellow Daoist Lin has the intention of wandering around the Chaos and is inquiring about how to travel to other areas." Pang Qi said, "I see. I happen to have a Chaos Area Guidance Tower here, so I will gift it to Fellow Daoist Lin."

As he spoke, he took out a small tower with only three levels. Pang Jing's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw the small tower, and Lin Moyu realized that this tower was likely of great value. Pang Qi said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, no need to decline. What Fellow Daoist Lin has done for our clan far exceeds the value of this tower."

Since the other party said so, Lin Moyu did not stand on ceremony anymore. Pang Qi explained how to use the Guidance Tower to Lin Moyu. The Guidance Tower was actually a map of the Chaos. There were many public areas in the Chaos similar to the Luoyu Realm. Any race or faction with a bit of strength would not practice isolationism; they would create an area to trade and exchange with other races to develop and grow together.

The Guidance Tower pointed to these public areas, not the ancestral lands of various races. Except for a few powerful racial factions, they generally would not let others know the location of their ancestral lands. If it attracted enemies, it would be a catastrophic disaster, but public areas were of no concern. Even if one were destroyed, they could just refine another; the Luoyu Realm was the best example. King Luoyu refined it based on a broken Domain. Even if the Luoyu Realm were destroyed, it would not affect the Divine Phoenix Clan in the slightest. At most, it would be a loss of face. By using the Guidance Tower, Lin Moyu would be able to find these public areas in the Chaos. The Great Venerables' Cross-Domain Arrays were located in several of these areas, and he wanted to use a Cross-Domain Array.
