Chapter 3764: The Wood Realm Master

It wasn't just one person who came it was a crowd.

Judging by their cultivation levels, they were at least third-tier soul Great Dao cultivators, clearly from the upper markets.

"Immortal Dao Friend, I want to buy the Great Dao Refining Pill." 

"Dao Friend, how many do you have? I'd like to buy more. Can you give me a discount?" 

"Immortal Dao Friend, is the pill formula for sale? I'm willing to pay a high price!" 

Lin Moyu hadn't expected so many people to show up. Voices clamored all at once, bombarding his ears with requests.

Frowning slightly, Lin Moyu raised his voice: "Everyone, can you speak one at a time?"

But his words were drowned out by the noise.

Fortunately, the stall was protected by formations. Although the crowd gathered at the entrance, they couldn't barge in.

Suddenly, an overwhelming aura descended, silencing everyone as their souls felt an oppressive weight.

In the void above, a massive tree appeared, and atop it stood a man in a purple Daoist robe who slowly descended.

As he landed, the pressure intensified. The previously noisy crowd found themselves unable to utter a word.

Even Dao Lords felt immense pressure; their souls twisted under its weight.

Lin Moyu immediately realized that this newcomer was exceptionally powerful stronger than the Hell Master and far beyond his current ability to contend with.

"At my current strength, dealing with the Hell Master is already my limit. Against someone stronger like this man, I'm no match."

"This must be a realm master someone who controls at least three Great Daos and whose world will has already taken form."

In the World Tree Great Spirit Domain, thanks to the combined efforts of the Human Sovereign and World Tree Emperor, humanity had flourished, producing many realm masters over time.

However, only a few realm masters had managed to nurture their world wills to the formation stage. Most realm masters' worlds were still in their formative stages; they typically controlled two Great Daos at most similar to the level of the Hell Master.

Under immense pressure, Lin Moyu stood tall and met the man's gaze without flinching.

The newcomer exuded an endless killing intent that descended like invisible giant hands pressing down on everyone present.

A Great Dao filled with murderous intent materialized its oppressive aura made everyone feel as though calamity was imminent.

"The Slaughter Great Dao it's Wood Slaughter Realm Master!" 

"Why is Wood Slaughter Realm Master here? Could he possibly want the Great Dao Refining Pill too?" 

"That's impossible the pill would be useless for someone of his level." 

Recognizing him, some in the crowd were visibly shocked.

Hearing "Wood Slaughter Realm Master," Lin Moyu sighed softly: "So he found me after all."

Wood Slaughter Realm Master was Shi Haifeng's master a fact Shi Haifeng had mentioned before.

Lin Moyu had deliberately exchanged his spirit domain compass to avoid being tracked by him but it seemed his efforts were in vain.

In hindsight, Lin Moyu realized he had underestimated the capabilities of realm masters.

Realm masters in the World Tree Great Spirit Domain were fundamentally different from someone like the Hell Master a realm master who had risen through unconventional means. They followed perfected cultivation methods passed down by the Human Sovereign. They knew how to control worlds and subdue world wills turning even malevolent wills into tools under their command. As both they and their world wills grew stronger together their power far surpassed that of outsiders like the Hell Master.

Wood Slaughter Realm Master spoke in a low voice: "Disperse for now I have something to discuss with Immortal Dao Friend."

A Dao Lord hesitated: "Realm Master we just want to buy some Great Dao Refining Pills."

Wood Slaughter Realm Master replied coldly: "You can do so after I've finished speaking with him. For now, leave."

His voice carried killing intent as sharp as blades pressing against everyone's throats. The trading market's rules prohibited fighting or killing but no one dared defy Wood Slaughter Realm Master. After all their physical bodies still existed in reality and there was no guarantee that Wood Slaughter Realm Master wouldn't seek them out there instead.

Reluctantly but obediently the crowd dispersed under his command.

Wood Slaughter Realm Master called out loudly: "Immortal Dao Friend please come up for a chat."

Realizing there was no avoiding this encounter Lin Moyu responded and flew up to meet him atop the tree.

On top of the tree a tea table was set up with tea brewing automatically. Wood Slaughter Realm Master gestured politely: "Lin Dao Friend please sit."

It didn't surprise Lin Moyu that he knew his real surname; he complied and sat down as instructed.

A cup of fragrant tea floated over to Lin Moyu. Without hesitation or suspicion he drank it in one gulp before calmly remarking: "Good tea."

Wood Slaughter Realm Master chuckled: "You're not afraid?"

Lin Moyu shook his head: "Since you've already found me what's there to fear?"

Wood Slaughter Realm Master said: "You're indeed cautious but I'm curious why did you act so carefully?"

Lin Moyu replied: "You should know I'm from another Great Spirit Domain and we have a saying: 'Do no harm but always guard against others.'"

Wood Slaughter Realm Master smiled faintly: "A wise saying it seems your world isn't very peaceful."

From just a few words Wood Slaughter Realm Master inferred much about Lin Moyu's circumstances. Realm masters were never fools and Lin Moyu hadn't intended to hide anything anyway: "Indeed the competition in my world is fierce."

Wood Slaughter Realm Master continued: "If I'm not mistaken your world already has a world will and it has taken form."

Lin Moyu smiled bitterly: "How did you figure that out?"

Wood Slaughter Realm Master explained: "Because your true spirit is no longer within you."

So that's how he deduced it... Lin Moyu sighed: "Yes my true spirit is no longer with me."

Wood Slaughter Realm Master said: "With your true spirit under your world will's control you've essentially lost your autonomy. What are your thoughts on visiting our World Tree Great Spirit Domain?"

Lin Moyu replied honestly: "This domain has developed well the Human Sovereign's contributions are unparalleled."

Wood Slaughter Realm Master asked directly: "Have you ever considered reclaiming your true spirit and regaining your freedom?"

Lin Moyu didn't mince words: "I have but it's incredibly difficult. In my world's history only one person has succeeded across three eras and they paid an enormous price."

"My visit here was partly to seek guidance from that predecessor but while they survived their Dao heart is shattered and their future ruined."

Wood Slaughter Realm Master pondered briefly before proposing: "In that case I'd like to make you an offer." 

"Please speak," Lin Moyu said. 

"If you manage to reclaim your true spirit and face your world will someday I'll provide assistance when needed," Wood Slaughter Realm Master began. 

"In exchange I want the formula for your Great Dao Refining Pill."
