Chapter 3480: I’ll Only Take What I Deserve

The return of the Ancient Lotus ancestor was the greatest joy for the Ancient Lotus Holy Land in countless years.

The Ancient Lotus ancestor had things to discuss with everyone. Lin Moyu and Little Mei were led by the Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden to their arranged accommodations.

As soon as the Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden left, Little Mei immediately said, "Teacher, something’s not right with the Ancient Lotus Holy Land."

Lin Moyu smiled and asked, "What’s not right?"

Little Mei said, "Their hearts are too united. It seems like no one has any selfish thoughts. They’re all fully committed to the Ancient Lotus ancestor’s return."

Lin Moyu said, "Isn’t that good?"

Little Mei shook her head, "It’s not that it’s not good, but it’s not normal. It goes against human nature."

Lin Moyu said, "It’s very good that you can think this way. The Ancient Lotus Holy Land is indeed different from ordinary holy lands and sects. Their existence is too ancient. What’s really standing behind them is a power from the Outer Great Dao."

"I don’t know the specific reasons, but there’s a reason for their unity."

Little Mei said, "Teacher, you think so too. Then it must be true. But what’s the reason?"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "I guess they must be able to contact that power in the Outer Great Dao. With someone overseeing them from above, those below naturally wouldn’t dare to misbehave."

Little Mei said softly, "If that’s the case, it makes sense. But what’s the use of rescuing the Ancient Lotus ancestor? She’ll be taken away by the Great Dao and won’t be able to stay for long."

Lin Moyu smiled with a hint of deeper meaning, "Are you sure she won’t be able to stay for long?"

Little Mei said, "Isn’t that so? Weren’t the previous ancestors like Hanyu and Dongfang Duantian all taken away by the Great Dao?"

Lin Moyu said, "Then look, has she been taken away by the Great Dao?"

Little Mei was startled. She and Lin Moyu had been chatting for quite a while. If the Great Dao was going to take someone, it should have happened by now.

But there was no movement from the Great Dao, clearly it hadn’t come to take her.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "So, they have someone above. They must have a way to stay."

Little Mei asked, "What are they staying for?"

Lin Moyu flicked a drop of tea onto Little Mei’s brow. The tea water carried a trace of life force, giving Little Mei a jolt.

Lin Moyu continued, "Think about the Three Ancestors, think about the Beast Emperor. They tried every means to come to the Origin Continent back then and have stayed for so many years, even stopping their cultivation. What are they here for?"

Little Mei suddenly realized, "It’s for the great changes in heaven and earth."

Lin Moyu said, "This question is actually very simple. You should have thought of it earlier. The great changes in heaven and earth are very important to them. And I think the Three Ancestors and the Beast Emperor are not alone. There are powers behind them too."

"They are seeking benefits for their respective powers. Understand?"

Little Mei made an affirmative sound. Lin Moyu had explained it so clearly, of course she understood.

Little Mei frowned, "In that case, when Teacher drove away Withering and Flourishing Elder, you didn’t just offend him, but also the power behind him."

Lin Moyu laughed heartily, "You’ve finally figured it out. Not bad, not bad. But what’s done is done. There’s no use regretting it now."

"Your teacher could drive him away once, so I can do it twice or thrice. No matter what power is behind him, if they dare to provoke your teacher, I won’t be polite."

Little Mei waved her fist, "That’s right, let’s slaughter them all."

Having been with Lin Moyu for a long time and influenced by him, now Little Mei would talk about slaughtering sects and exterminating clans at the drop of a hat.

Footsteps sounded, and the Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden walked over. "Mr. Lin, the Holy Lord asked me to take you to the treasure vault."

Lin Moyu smiled and asked, "Where’s the Holy Lord? Is she still busy?"

The Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden nodded, "The Holy Lord and several elders are still busy and can’t get away for now. So she asked me to come. Also, the Holy Lord would like to invite Mr. Lin to stay for a few more days."

"The Holy Lord has decided to hold the Ancient Lotus Immortal Banquet in six days. This Ancient Lotus Immortal Banquet might be the grandest one yet. At that time, elders from various powers will be invited."

When Little Mei heard about the Ancient Lotus Immortal Banquet, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Sister Immortal Lotus, will there be even more delicious food at the Immortal Banquet?"

The Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden nodded, "There will be a lot of delicious food. Not only delicious, but many are also heavenly and earthly treasures. Eating them can accelerate cultivation speed."

Little Mei tugged at Lin Moyu’s clothes, "Teacher, can we stay for a few more days?"

Lin Moyu chuckled, "It’s rare to encounter the Ancient Lotus Immortal Banquet. Of course we’ll stay for a few days."

Seeing Lin Moyu agree, Little Mei immediately beamed with joy, jumping up happily.

The three of them sat on a lotus flower, flying into the lake beside the Lotus Core Sacred Hall. The Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden personally opened the sect’s treasure vault for Lin Moyu: "Mr. Lin, please."

The treasure vault was protected by formations, and not just one. The Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden held a token to open the way for Lin Moyu.

Precious treasures were neatly arranged inside, one after another.

Everything collected in the Ancient Lotus Holy Land’s treasure vault was valuable. There wasn’t a single piece of junk.

Each treasure had detailed explanations attached, explaining its grade and function.

Compared to the Dongfang family’s treasure vault, it was several levels higher, with a huge difference.

Back then, in the Dongfang family’s treasure vault, he couldn’t pick out anything useful and just randomly chose an eighth-level Dao Venerable treasure.

No wonder Dongfang Wuding was so generous at that time. The Dongfang family simply didn’t have any good items.

The Dongfang family was clearly wealthy and powerful. It’s unknown where they put all their good stuff.

The Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden said, "The Holy Lord said that Mr. Lin can choose whatever you want. Even if you empty the entire treasure vault, it’s fine."

Lin Moyu smiled, "The Holy Lord is really generous."

The Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden said, "Before the ancestor woke up, she once said that in the future, we should treat Mr. Lin the same as we treat the ancestor. If the ancestor wanted to empty the treasure vault, who would have any objections?"

The Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden was good with words. Her gentle voice, beautiful appearance, and graceful temperament naturally gave people a sense of closeness.

Lin Moyu of course understood that this wasn’t the Ancient Lotus Holy Lord’s intention, but the Ancient Lotus ancestor’s.

The Ancient Lotus ancestor had used some special methods to stay, for the sake of the future great changes in heaven and earth.

Although the items in the treasure vault were precious, they were of no use to a Great Dao realm being.

If these things could be exchanged for something more important, then it would be worth it.

What was more important? Lin Moyu knew clearly in his heart. It was naturally himself.

The Ancient Lotus ancestor must have already determined that he would also be one of the beneficiaries of the great changes in heaven and earth. If he really packed up everything in the treasure vault, the karmic debt between them would be great. When the time came for the great changes in heaven and earth, how could he have the face to compete with her?

Taking favors makes one soft. The small advantages gained now might lead to big losses in the future.

Lin Moyu wasn’t that foolish. He said softly, "Do big things, take big benefits. I have a scale in my heart. I’ll only take what I deserve. What’s not mine, I won’t touch."

The Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden didn’t speak. She was only responsible for conveying messages and opening the formations for Lin Moyu.

As for what Lin Moyu would take, that wasn’t her concern.

Lin Moyu looked through the items one by one, from materials to treasures. There was nothing below the fourth level of Dao Venerable in the treasure vault.

He saw eighth-level Dao Venerable materials and treasures, but didn’t linger.

Until he saw one item, Lin Moyu finally stopped.

"The first item, this one."

Lin Moyu made his choice, and the Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden immediately opened the formation, handing the item to Lin Moyu.
