 Chapter 2384: Bribing the Celestial Venerable with Wine

Although for Lin Moyu and his companions, they had only left the Great World for a hundred days, inside the Great World, 2,700 years had passed.

In over two thousand years, the Great World had undergone significant changes.

This time, upon returning, they did not rush to leave again. Lin Moyu took Yuzhu and Yu Qingrou to walk around the Great World, observing the changes within it.

During the time when the Great World's origin began to recover, the changes were often the greatest.

Once it stabilized in the future, the changes would become smaller.

Lin Moyu noticed that new stars had begun to appear in the Great World.

This indicated that the Great World had started to evolve and nurture new resources again. In the future, it would no longer be a case of sitting and eating away at its resources, and the Great World would gradually flourish.

As the origin recovered more, the speed of evolution and nurturing would further accelerate.

Not only would a large number of resources appear during the nurturing process, but various natural secret realms and dangerous, wondrous places would also emerge one by one.

At that time, cultivators could go on adventures and train themselves.

The entire Great World was moving in a positive direction.

After staying in the Great World for a while, Lin Moyu planned to head to the Interface Sea again.

This time, he not only intended to hunt strange fish but also to seek out Water Stop Celestial Venerable.

He hoped to learn some information from Water Stop Celestial Venerable and had made some preparations for this.

He asked the Human Emperor for some wine, which could be considered the best wine among the human race.

The vintages varied, with the shortest being five thousand years and the longest fifty thousand years.

Lin Moyu categorized the wine into jars, each weighing ten thousand catties.

He infused a large amount of origin aura from his body into the wine.

The shorter the vintage, the less origin aura it contained.

The longer the vintage, the more origin aura it contained.

Lin Moyu knew very well that Water Stop Celestial Venerable's personality was likely to be cautious.

Building a relationship with Water Stop Celestial Venerable wasn't a one-time thing; it required a gradual approach.

Once everything was ready, Lin Moyu left the Great World again and re-entered the Interface Sea.

The Interface Sea world remained unchanged, boundless and vast, with a layer of dark clouds always covering the sky, making the sea surface appear low and oppressive.

Lin Moyu didn't know what the world outside the Interface Sea was like, but he believed that one day, he would go beyond the Interface Sea to see it.

Upon arriving at the Interface Sea, Lin Moyu took out the pearl given by Water Stop Celestial Venerable and activated it directly.

The pearl shone brightly and then turned into powder, completely dissipating.

Moments later, a continent suddenly appeared on the distant sea surface.

The turtle shell on Water Stop Celestial Venerable's back emerged from the water, moving at a rapid speed, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Lin Moyu.

Water Stop Celestial Venerable stared at Lin Moyu, its eyes gleaming, "What trouble have you encountered?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "No trouble."

Water Stop Celestial Venerable snorted coldly, "If there's no trouble, why summon me? Do you think my pearl is worthless?"

There was a hint of displeasure in its words.

A dangerous aura rose, and vortices appeared around Water Stop Celestial Venerable.

In the Interface Sea, its body was about one percent the size of the Great World, similar to the size of the Battle Realm back then.

If it collided with the Great World, Lin Moyu had no doubt that the Great World would be left with a huge hole.

Lin Moyu's expression remained unchanged, "Senior, you misunderstand. I just wanted to give you something."

"Give me something?"

In Water Stop Celestial Venerable's puzzled gaze, Lin Moyu took out a jar of five-thousand-year-old fine wine.

The wine contained origin aura, much richer than the origin aura in the few drops of essence blood from before.

Water Stop Celestial Venerable's eyes immediately lit up, "Origin wine!"

Lin Moyu knew very well that the origin aura in his essence blood didn't provide much help for cultivation; Water Stop Celestial Venerable simply liked the taste of origin aura.

Besides origin aura, it also liked fine wine.

Last time, when Water Stop Celestial Venerable came, it carried a faint smell of wine.

So Lin Moyu deduced that Water Stop Celestial Venerable also liked wine.

Combining origin aura with fine wine made it the best item to build a relationship.

Now, it seemed he was right.

Water Stop Celestial Venerable's expression didn't lie; it was very interested in the origin wine.

However, it remained cautious, quickly shifting its attention away from the wine, "Why are you giving me this?"

Lin Moyu said, "No particular reason, just to thank you, senior."

"And..."

Water Stop Celestial Venerable asked in a low voice, "And what?"

Lin Moyu said, "And you are the first senior I met in the Interface Sea who I could communicate with."

Water Stop Celestial Venerable seemed to understand the implication in Lin Moyu's words and said directly, "You want to know about the situation in the Interface Sea, right?"

Not only cautious but also very smart.

For a smart person, Lin Moyu naturally chose to be straightforward, "Senior is correct. As a newcomer, I indeed want to know more about the Interface Sea to avoid making mistakes again!"

Water Stop Celestial Venerable's eyes flickered as if it was thinking.

During its contemplation, its nose kept twitching, and Lin Moyu patiently waited without urging.

After a while, Water Stop Celestial Venerable said, "Considering you have some manners, I can tell you some trivial matters."

Lin Moyu was delighted, "Thank you, senior!"

He handed the jar of wine to Water Stop Celestial Venerable, who opened it and took a big gulp.

This gulp alone was at least a hundred catties.

Water Stop Celestial Venerable smacked its lips, half-tilted its head, and looked as if it was enjoying itself.

"This wine has aged for at least five thousand years and is infused with origin aura. It tastes really good!"

"You people from the Interface Sea world have this advantage; the fast flow of time is perfect for aging wine."

"If I had an Interface Sea world, I would definitely fill it with fine wine."

Lin Moyu smiled, "As long as you like it, senior. I was in a hurry this time and didn't prepare enough. Next time, I'll bring more aged wine."

In fact, he had already prepared a large amount of fine wine; what he gave now was the worst kind.

As Water Stop Celestial Venerable said, due to the time flow, the Great World was indeed a good place for aging wine.

Water Stop Celestial Venerable's eyes sparkled slightly, clearly satisfied with Lin Moyu's words, "Alright, ask what you want to know. I'll tell you what I can."

Lin Moyu smiled, "I'm not sure if my questions are appropriate. If I ask the wrong ones, it wouldn't be good. If you don't mind, senior, could you give me a general overview first?"

Lin Moyu threw the question back to Water Stop Celestial Venerable. He indeed had many questions, but he wasn't sure if some of them could be asked.

It was better to let Water Stop Celestial Venerable speak first; it knew what could and couldn't be said.

Water Stop Celestial Venerable chuckled, as if seeing through Lin Moyu's thoughts, "Alright, I'll tell you some simple things."

"The world you came from, we call it the Interface Sea world."

"In the Interface Sea, there are many such worlds, countless in number."

"These Interface Sea worlds float above, encountering other worlds, competing and devouring each other. The victor can continue to stay in the Interface Sea, while the loser collapses and dissipates."

"Your Interface Sea world has grown to this extent, so it must have devoured quite a few worlds."

"But it seems to have been injured as well."

Water Stop Celestial Venerable stared at the Great World for a while, as if seeing through its origin, and chuckled, "All the Celestial Venerables inside have left, haven't they?"

Lin Moyu was shocked. It could even see that?
