The gathering at the Inn could not be called the most elite in the universe, yet it was undeniable that among the crowd were powers that touched the highest levels of the universe - even if the specific guests themselves were merely in the Celestial Immortal level.
They had all been exposed to sights and secrets the likes of which one could not even reach without a sufficient level of backing. As such, even the impressive environment and atmosphere, the rich resources and even richer variety of the Midnight Realm merely matched expectations instead of impressing.
Not that such a thing was a slight to the Midnight Inn - far from it. It was just that they had a specific understanding and expectation from an organization at the level of the Midnight Inn, and what they saw merely matched it.
If the Innkeeper were considered an ordinary Dao Lord, then the Inn would surely have impressed them. But he wasn't, so it didn't. That's just how things were.
