 **Chapter 1557: Our Era is Not Inferior!**

"Lin Moyu, I will take you away. Follow the rules," said Xu Laozu, leaving a message. Black light enveloped Lin Moyu, and the two disappeared.

Several people exchanged glances. Zhuang Bi looked at Xu Jianxing, who had just gotten up from the ground, and asked, "Is that your family's ancestor?"

"Yes!" Xu Jianxing nodded, his eyes filled with excitement.

He had just been praised by his family's ancestor, which made him very excited. He knew his family's situation well. Xu Laozu was extremely strict and rarely praised anyone. Receiving his praise was a significant affirmation.

Xu Laozu was a legend in the Xu family. Xu Jianxing had grown up hearing stories about him. The tall and majestic image of Xu Laozu had long been rooted in his heart.

Chu Xiong asked, "Xu Shidi, what realm is your ancestor in? Could it be..."

Xu Jianxing nodded vigorously, "The ancestor reached the Beyond Realm a long time ago."

Chu Xiong showed a surprised expression, "The Beyond Realm, huh? I wonder if I will ever reach it in my lifetime."

Then he noticed that neither Zhuang Bi, Qing Fei, nor Shui Zilan showed any surprise.

Chu Xiong asked curiously, "Old Zhuang, aren't you surprised?"

Zhuang Bi said, "When Xu Laozu appeared with the four domain lords, I guessed he was in the Beyond Realm."

Zhuang Bi came from the Zhuang family, which had its own heritage. Although his family had never produced a Beyond Realm expert, they knew something about realms above the God-Sovereign level.

Chu Xiong looked at Qing Fei and Shui Zilan, "Did you two guess it too?"

Qing Fei nodded, and Shui Zilan said softly, "There are records in my sect. The four domain lords were clearly very respectful to Xu Laozu, so I guessed his identity."

Chu Xiong scratched his head, "So I was the only one who didn't guess."

Zhuang Bi laughed, "That's because you don't like to use your brain. I wonder what Xu Laozu wants to talk to Lin Shidi about."

Qing Fei said, "Do you remember the senior who sent us here?"

Zhuang Bi nodded, "He was also in the Beyond Realm. His aura was very similar to Xu Laozu's."

Qing Fei continued, "When we first arrived in the competition city, Lin Shidi and Han Xianzi arrived a bit later than us. They were probably held back by that senior."

According to Qing Fei, Lin Moyu had already had contact with a Beyond Realm expert. So this time, there was no need to worry about Xu Laozu meeting Lin Moyu.

Chu Xiong tilted his head, "Do you think Xu Laozu might want to take Lin Shidi as a disciple?" The others thought about it and realized it wasn't impossible.

Lin Moyu's performance was outstanding enough to impress even a Beyond Realm expert.

A familiar aura greeted Lin Moyu as he once again saw the ancient and majestic palace.

The faint aroma of tea wafted over, entering his nostrils and reaching his soul, making his entire being feel relaxed.

Dao Tea!

This was a top-grade tea, even higher than Enlightenment Tea.

The same simple tea table was there, with Lin Lao and Hao Shengzun sitting beside it, seemingly chatting.

Lady Yu had already left.

His sister was also not present.

"Come and sit," Xu Laozu led Lin Moyu over.

Lin Lao chuckled, "Old Xu, did you find any good seedlings this time?"

The black aura around Xu Laozu gradually dissipated, revealing his true appearance: an elderly man with white hair and a serious expression.

His appearance bore a five or six-point resemblance to Xu Qingyang. Combined with Xu Jianxing's earlier reaction, Lin Moyu already knew his identity.

Xu Qingyang's grandfather, the Xu family ancestor.

Lin Moyu had once accepted a private mission from him, successfully rescuing Xu Qingyang, who had been trapped in the Nether Swamp for a thousand years.

Although they had never interacted directly, they had some connection.

At that time, Lin Moyu was still very weak.

Even now, his strength was still inferior, but purely on a soul level, they were on the same level.

Two more teacups appeared on the tea table, and the teapot automatically flew up, pouring new tea into the cups.

Lin Moyu then noticed that the teapot was actually a magical treasure, at least at the God-Sovereign level, and it had developed intelligence.

A God-Sovereign level magical treasure with a spirit, just used for making tea...

If this got out, it would be enough to make many God-Sovereigns feel disoriented.

Last time, he hadn't noticed this detail, which was a real oversight.

After Xu Laozu sat down, he directly said, "I brought the champion."

Hao Shengzun smiled, "Lin Xiaoyou winning the championship was expected."

He wasn't surprised at all. He knew Lin Moyu's combat power very well.

Not to mention that the strongest opponents were only minor God-Sovereigns, even if God-Sovereigns participated, they might not be able to defeat Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu asked, "Shengzun, where is my sister?"

Hao Shengzun replied, "There was a little accident."

Lin Moyu frowned slightly, "Please explain, Shengzun."

"Han Xianzi's talent is too strong. Combined with Dao Tea, it produced incredible effects."

"Your sister not only advanced to God-Sovereign but might continue to break through, reaching above the third tier of God-Sovereign."

"Lady Yu has already taken your sister to the Divine City for seclusion. It might take some time."

Advancing to God-Sovereign and directly reaching above the third tier—such a thing was hard to believe.

Cultivation breakthroughs have always been methodical and traceable. Lin Muhan's leapfrog advancement was unprecedented.

Xu Laozu, who had just arrived, was also surprised. He didn't know the follow-up events.

Lin Lao sighed, "A 36-year-old God-Sovereign... Saying it out loud might scare a few people to death."

Hao Shengzun smiled, "Even in ancient times, there was never a 36-year-old God-Sovereign."

Xu Laozu's eyes flickered, "As far as I know, the fastest person to advance to God-Sovereign in ancient times was over a hundred years old."

Hao Shengzun provided a more accurate number, "108 years old."

Xu Laozu nodded, "Generally speaking, ancient God-Sovereigns were mostly between 300 and 500 years old. A God-Sovereign under 100 years old was already considered a top genius."

Lin Moyu listened in shock. Were ancient cultivators really that strong?

Most God-Sovereigns were between 300 and 500 years old.

Looking at the current era...

Most 300-year-old cultivators were still at the True God realm, far from reaching God-Sovereign.

Lin Lao laughed, "Now Han Xianzi has broken the ancient record, and there's also Lin Xiaoyou, showing that our era is not inferior."

Xu Laozu snorted, "Far from it. That era was so glorious and splendid. Compared to them, we are just a pile of garbage."

He then turned to Hao Shengzun, "Shengzun, have you made any progress in exploring ancient times?"

Hao Shengzun shook his head, "So far, not much progress."

Xu Laozu sighed, "Is there really no way?"

Hao Shengzun shook his head, "It's hard to say if there's a way. We can only say we still have hope."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Moyu, and Lin Lao also looked at Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu suddenly realized something. The conversation among these Beyond Realm experts was not random; it had deeper meaning, possibly related to him.

Lin Moyu said, "Shengzun, if you have any instructions, please feel free to tell me."

Hao Shengzun finally shook his head, "Your current strength is still not enough. When you reach God-Sovereign, or even the Beyond Realm, you can then deal with those matters."

"But we can inform you in advance about some things. There are some things you will have to face in the future."
