Lin Yu's expression remained unchanged despite the Peerless Daoist's sudden remark.
In fact, it was within Lin Yu's expectations that the Peerless Daoist could calculate this.
After all, the opponent's strength was comparable to his own. Generally speaking, it is rare for two such powerful cultivators to appear in the same era.
Both Lin Yu and Wushuang Daoren have reached such a level of strength that they should have noticed if another cultivator of similar strength appeared in the world.
The saying "two tigers cannot share one mountain" illustrates this point.
Cultivators who are too powerful will often check and balance each other rather than directly attack each other.
However, the Peerless Daoist had no idea of Lin Yu's existence at this time, which could only mean that Lin Yu was not a cultivator of this era!
"What you say is true, senior." Lin Yu nodded. There was no need for him to hide this matter, since it was obvious to everyone that he was exceptionally strong.
"I've long heard that if one's strength reaches a certain level, one can transcend the limitations of this era. I never imagined that someone could actually do it." The Peerless Daoist looked at Lin Yu meaningfully.
He knew that with his current strength, he probably couldn't reach that level.
However, the fact that Lin Yu, a cultivator from another era, could appear before him at this moment could only mean that Lin Yu's strength had reached a level that surpassed his own.
However, this is now the Dao Qi Era. As a cultivator from another era, Lin Yu must pay a price for coming to this era, such as the sealing of some of his strength.
This is one of the reasons why Wushuang Daoren did not sense Lin Yu's arrival in the Dao Qi era immediately.
Because his strength was limited, the whole world only regarded Lin Yu as a powerful cultivator and did not show his full potential.
Otherwise, once this energy is revealed, the Peerless Daoist will surely notice it.
"I only came to this era by chance," Lin Yu said with a wry smile.
In fact, although he was very strong, it would still be difficult for him to stay in this era for a long time. If it weren't for some fortuitous circumstances, even Lin Yu would not have been able to stay in the Dao Qi era for a long time.
However, judging from Wushuang Daoren's expression, he clearly took it as Lin Yu's modesty and simply smiled without saying anything more.
"I have come here today with a question for you, senior. These two Twelve True Palaces were created by you, senior. Why are you currently in one of them, yet you seem to ignore the situation of the other Twelve True Palace?"
Seeing that Wushuang Daoist remained silent, Lin Yu had no choice but to speak first and ask his question.
"So you've come to interrogate me." Upon hearing this, the Peerless Daoist merely smiled again, seemingly unconcerned about Lin Yu's questioning.
Lin Yu didn't offer any explanation, after all, his current actions were tantamount to questioning someone.
"Did you know anything about what was happening in the Twelve True Palaces outside? If you did, why did you choose to stand by and watch?"
"Even if the original cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces are truly guilty, what wrong have those cultivators from the outside world done? What those original cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces are doing now is heinous and contrary to the Great Dao."
Lin Yu continued to ask. In fact, the reason he came here was to inform this peerless Daoist that the other Twelve True Palaces he had created had been utterly ruined by the original cultivators.
He has turned a blind eye and done nothing for so many years, and now he has made a grave mistake.
Knowing full well that those people are inherently greedy, yet still tempting them with this test, how can they possibly resist?
The fact that those original cultivators have become like this is largely due to the responsibility of the Peerless Daoist.
Faced with Lin Yu's aggressive questioning, the Peerless Daoist simply stood calmly opposite him, showing no remorse whatsoever.
Lin Yu's earlier prediction was correct; he was indeed in another Twelve True Palaces while observing another Twelve True Palaces. He was already quite used to the current situation.
Even if he didn't personally intervene, these greedy individuals would eventually lead themselves to self-destruction.
The reason he created that world and didn't drive away the cultivators who came with money was simply because of his goodwill towards human cultivators.
However, the greedy nature of those cultivators opened the eyes of the Peerless Daoist.
They have evolved through generations in these Twelve True Palaces, and many of their skills have been refreshed and changed, but their greed remains unchanged. All of this can only mean that they are beyond redemption.
These greedy cultivators were unaware that they had fallen into an endless cycle. The seemingly prosperous Twelve True Palaces had long since become a giant tomb.
"The reason why the cultivators of the Twelve True Palaces have become like this is ultimately due to the intentional actions of our seniors," Lin Yu said.
"That's true. I know their greedy nature, so I used array techniques to switch the magnetic field of that other one of my Twelve True Palaces with theirs. Through mutual influence, those people entered a cycle of reincarnation."
"The more greedy they are, the harder it is for them to set foot on the land they yearn for. And as their greed deepens, they will only stray further and further down the crooked path, as if cursed, forever imprisoned in that tomb."
"I originally thought these guys would quiet down when faced with such a desperate situation, but I didn't expect them to actually set their sights on cultivators from outside."
The Peerless Daoist was indeed fully aware of what was happening in the outside world, but he did not intervene and simply let them fend for themselves.
The reason was simple: seeing these people's stubbornness, making it difficult for them to change their nature, made the Peerless Daoist feel deeply powerless.
He knew that this innate greed was something that no amount of power could change, and even with his own abilities, he could only destroy these cultivators.
Lin Yu stared at the Peerless Daoist, seeing an indescribable melancholy in his dark eyes.
The Peerless Daoist had made efforts before, but all his attempts had ended in failure, so even a powerful figure like him felt exhausted.
"You're right. These people aren't worthy of your intervention, senior." Lin Yu nodded. After a brief conversation, Lin Yu had already understood the Peerless Daoist's temperament.
He is probably more exhausted right now.
