Chapter 1643 Heading To The Banquet

Lin Mu could feel that there was a lot more to this than what Xukong had spoken. Fine nuances that were still hidden, but he knew they were something he would understand eventually.

"You might see them as G.o.ds when you were mortal, but as you grew, you understood their power.

Some experts who have gone beyond the boundary of the immortals, such as the Saintess would merely see these G.o.ds as equals." Xukong added, snapping Lin Mu out of his thoughts.

"I see… So G.o.ds are merely stronger cultivators." Lin Mu stated.

"On some level, yes… Though you"ll understand more later on. It is something you need to explore yourself." Xukong replied.

This gave Lin Mu a lot to think about. He went silent for five minutes, staring off into the distance. Thankfully he was sitting in the balcony of a restaurant, thus it just seemed like he was looking at the scenery in the distance.???e????૦ѵel. c??

If he was walking like before when they had started this conversation, some people would have surely gotten creeped out.

Little Shrubby was also on the table, eating half of a fish, while the twins sneaked at the food while peeking out from Lin Mu"s sleeves.

~HUU~

Lin Mu let out a breath, as he calmed down his mind.

"What about you senior?" Lin Mu asked with great curiosity. "Are you… Considered a G.o.d? The Saintess is already called the Saintess, thus she must have a G.o.d a.s.sociated that is above her." He inquired.

"Me?" Xukong couldn"t help but chuckle. "I guess you can say that."

"Really?" Lin Mu raised a brow.

"Though I don"t know how many would think of me as a G.o.d, and how many would consider me a devil." Xukong said, making Lin Mu surprised.

While Lin Mu knew that someone at the level of Xukong wouldn"t have reached that point without killing, he also didn"t know just how far it would go. For him to be considered both sides, meant that there were enough people that hated and feared him.

"Both a G.o.d and devil huh…" Lin Mu said in a low voice. "Would I be considered the same eventually?" he questioned himself this time.

Lin Mu shook his head and focused on finishing the food in front of him. Though Little Shrubby and the twins had already emptied out the table twice. The waiter was doing his fourth trip with more dishes and couldn"t help but look at them strangely.

To the man, the dishes placed in front of Lin Mu would disappear rather quickly. If not for the fact that there were still bones and other waste left behind, he would have thought that Lin Mu was just storing them away.

"Do you want me to bring more, sir?" The waiter inquired just in case.

Lin Mu had told them earlier to keep on bringing food, until he said no. But now that five rounds of food had been finished, even the waiter was feeling doubtful. Not to mention, the kitchen would have to work quickly as some of the dishes took longer time to prepare.

"No… this"ll be enough." Lin Mu replied.

While he could have eaten more, he didn"t have the mood anymore. He wished to go out into the city again.

"Very well sir. I"ll bring the bill." The waiter said before leaving.

Lin Mu turned to his beasts and spoke, "let"s finish up."

~Meow~

~hiss~ hiss~

Low cries were heard in response, as the beasts focused on clearing the table again.

A couple minutes later, the table was empty and the waiter had returned with the bill. Lin Mu paid it off and left the restaurant, heading off towards the shopping district again. While he had bought quite a lot of things before, there were still many shops left to explore.

Lin Mu didn"t necessarily have to buy things either, as simply looking at new materials and items was a good experience. He got to learn about them this way and even test his knowledge on some level.

And surely, he found more things that interested him.

He bought a few formation manuals, as well as a set of books that taught about runes from different races.

After all, formation creation was something that varied greatly even among humans. While Dao Script was universal, there were still other languages and scripts that could be used for it. These languages would still be useful in making formations and arrays, with some having useful applications.

One of the most basic application was none other than encryption.

If a formation master couldn"t read a rune, he would have a hard time telling what the formation was. It was one of the most basic and simple ways of making a formation had to break.

Plus having seen the Shamanic Script of the Demon race earlier, he was now interested in more such scripts. He felt like he could learn and expand a lot more if he knew them.

He ended up spending over fifteen hours just walking around, until finally it was time for the Banquet.

"Just like that I"ve spent over a day in the city." Lin Mu was surprised at how fast the time had pa.s.sed.

He turned to Little Shrubby in his arms and spoke, "let"s get changed before we head to the banquet shall we?"

"Okay~" Little Shrubby responded.

Lin Mu simply brushed his hands over his clothes and they were switched with better ones. With his control over s.p.a.ce improving, storing and retrieving something at the same time was as simple as breathing to him.

The new robes that he was wearing were something that was more suited to occasions like these and looked luxurious. They were a mix of black and purple, with white embroidery on it.

Now dressed in better robes, Lin Mu turned up at the entrance of the Palace grounds.

"What are you here for?" The guards questioned politely this time, looking at Lin Mu"s robes.

In response, he simply took out the invitation.
