Chapter 2944: 2944 Chapter 2944: Your Reaction Is a Bit Slow Lu Zeng’s invitation to Mr. Lin was not just a polite gesture; it carried genuine respect for Lin Moyu. Everyone was astonished. They didn’t know who Lu Zeng was, but they knew he was a Seventh Realm Ancestor, which was undeniable. A Seventh Realm Ancestor showing such respect to Lin Moyu was beyond anyone’s imagination. Even if Lin Moyu were an illegitimate child of an Ancestor from a sacred land, he wouldn’t receive such treatment. Lu Zeng’s appearance shattered people’s speculations about Lin Moyu once again. This event would surely stir more speculation about Lin Moyu’s identity in the coming days. A beam of light shot from the flying boat, landing directly at Lin Moyu’s feet. Lin Moyu smiled slightly and stepped into the light. The light carried Lin Moyu onto the flying boat, and he saluted Lu Zeng, "Senior, long time no see." Lu Zeng laughed, "It’s been years since we last met, Mr. Lin. It’s an honor to see you again." Lin Moyu replied, "Senior, you’re too kind. I was just lucky." Lu Zeng said, "Some things aren’t about luck; strength is strength." He then turned to Lu Wanhai, "I’m taking Mr. Lin with me. Please inform the guild." Lu Wanhai saluted Lu Zeng, "Safe travels, Ancestor!" The flying boat turned into a stream of light and quickly disappeared into the distance. Lu Wanhai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "I didn’t expect a Seventh Realm Ancestor to show such respect to Mr. Lin. It seems Mr. Lin’s importance to the Ancestors is more than it appears." Lu Zeng piloted the flying boat at high speed towards their destination. Lu Zeng said softly, "The Ice and Fire Secret Treasury is quite far; it will take about two days to reach it." Lin Moyu replied, "Two days isn’t long. If I were flying, it might take dozens of days." Lu Zeng said, "I didn’t expect you to have become a Dao Sovereign, and at the Second Realm too. Your cultivation speed is truly astonishing." Lin Moyu humbly replied, "It’s just luck." Lu Zeng said, "You’re too modest, Mr. Lin. It’s clearly strength, not luck. Compared to you, those so-called geniuses are nothing." Lin Moyu joked, "If you say that, Sister Fengyao will hit me." Lu Zeng replied, "Fengyao is naturally an exception. The Three Ancestors are nurturing her carefully, and she’s on the same path as those geniuses." Lin Moyu understood that Lu Fengyao would likely follow a path similar to his own. Perhaps not initially, but certainly before reaching the Fourth Realm of Dao Sovereign. With the Three Ancestors guiding her, Lu Fengyao wouldn’t stray from the right path. The Three Ancestors had high hopes for Lu Fengyao but didn’t seem to have any special plans for her father, Lu Shudao. The Three Ancestors must have their reasons for this. Lu Zeng flew at incredible speed, quickly covering millions of miles, with dense ancient forests below. Lin Moyu noticed something strange: the number of spirit beasts in the Northern Continent seemed low. He wondered if it had always been this way or if it was a recent change. Lin Moyu asked, "Senior, have spirit beasts always been this scarce in the Northern Continent?" Lu Zeng replied, "No, there used to be many spirit beasts in the Northern Continent. It’s only in the last hundred years that their numbers have sharply declined. This issue caught the attention of the Northern Continent’s demon clan, and they investigated but found nothing." "Later, they also commissioned our guild to investigate, but we found nothing as well." Lin Moyu instinctively thought this might be related to Antares. He didn’t know what Antares was doing, but he believed there was a reason behind it. Perhaps not only in the Eastern and Northern Continents, but the other two continents might also be experiencing similar situations. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂 Lin Moyu suddenly looked far to the left, and a moment later, Lu Zeng followed his gaze. They both sensed someone approaching from a great distance, heading in their direction. Lu Zeng said, "There are people from the Buddhist clan coming." Lin Moyu’s eyes shifted, "Senior, I have a favor to ask." Lu Zeng asked, "Do you want me to kill those guys?" Lin Moyu shook his head, "Yes, but I don’t need you to do it. Please conceal your aura so they dare to come closer. Otherwise, they’ll surely flee." With a Seventh Realm Ancestor present, even the Thousand Sunlight Buddha wouldn’t dare approach. Lu Zeng quickly concealed his aura, lowering his realm to the Fourth Realm of Dao Sovereign. At this level, it was neither too high nor too low, quite reasonable. As his realm decreased, so did his speed, matching that of a Fourth Realm Dao Sovereign. Lu Zeng said, "I’ll watch from the side. If you’re in danger, I’ll step in." Lin Moyu smiled, "Thank you, Senior." Moments later, the aura of the Thousand Sunlight Buddha became very apparent as he approached at incredible speed. Guided by the mark, he accurately located Lin Moyu. About an hour later, the Thousand Sunlight Buddha appeared directly in front of Lin Moyu. Lu Zeng cooperated perfectly, coming to a sudden stop in mid-air. The Thousand Sunlight Buddha sat on a treasure shaped like a flaming lotus, his Great Buddha Golden Body shining brilliantly, weaving countless golden lights into a cage that trapped Lin Moyu and Lu Zeng. Behind the Thousand Sunlight Buddha were Sunlight Mountain Buddha, Sunset Twilight Buddha, Dawn Rising East Buddha, and East Facing Golden Sun Buddha. Lin Moyu looked at the Thousand Sunlight Buddha, "Here to kill me?" The Thousand Sunlight Buddha said in a low voice, "You slandered the Buddhist clan, so I must act to subdue demons and monsters." Before he could finish, the Thousand Sunlight Buddha’s expression changed drastically. A massive force erupted beside him. The four Ancient Buddhas who came with him suddenly attacked, targeting him instead of Lin Moyu. The attack was so sudden that the Thousand Sunlight Buddha was caught off guard and hit on the spot. "What are you doing?" the Thousand Sunlight Buddha shouted angrily, golden light bursting from him, repelling the four. At the same time, he spat a mouthful of blood, clearly injured. Although the four were far less powerful than the Thousand Sunlight Buddha, their surprise attack was enough to injure him. After being repelled, the four quickly counterattacked, recklessly pouncing on the Thousand Sunlight Buddha and attacking fiercely. Sunlight Mountain Buddha and Sunset Twilight Buddha simultaneously used their Great Buddha Golden Bodies, a mountain with a blazing sun pressing down on the Thousand Sunlight Buddha. Sunset Twilight Buddha’s eyes glowed with golden light, and a pair of giant Buddha eyes appeared in mid-air, unleashing powerful soul energy. The Thousand Sunlight Buddha roared, "Are you crazy?" A thousand blazing suns rose behind him, spewing countless flames like meteors at the four. Amidst the roaring explosions, the four were knocked back, each injured. But they continued their relentless assault, fighting as if their lives depended on it. The Thousand Sunlight Buddha noticed their abnormal behavior and looked sharply at Lin Moyu, "It’s you, you did something." Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Your reaction is a bit slow!" The true form of the Great Dao of Fortune activated with a roar, and Lin Moyu’s body became ethereal and indistinct. A wisp of Great Dao power silently locked onto the Thousand Sunlight Buddha. The Sword of Fortune followed, slashing out.
