Chapter 814 - The Immortal Ascension Realm Cultivators
Lin Mu was surprised to hear more details about the Immortal Ascension realm cultivators and how they were in reality. He needed to know their att.i.tudes so that they may have a fighting chance against the Northern Tribes in the future.
"Why are you asking this though, Lin Mu?" Daoist Hua asked.
"Because we are going to need them in our fight… you see the northern tribes… They have immortal Ascension realm cultivators too." Lin Mu said, shocking everyone in the hall.
"IMPOSSIBLE! Utterly impossible!" Daoist Hua was the first to claim.
"That can"t be… didn"t the sects wipe out all the Immortal Ascension realm cultivators of the Northern tribes?" A minister said.
"How can they even afford to have a single Immortal Ascension realm cultivator, not to mention three in a desolate area such as the Northern continent?" one of the elders commented.
"I"m afraid this is true." Lin Mu stated.
"Are you sure you are not mistaken, Junior Lin Mu?" Daoist Hua asked, feeling doubtful.
"I would be happy if I was wrong, but I"m 100% sure that it is true." Lin Mu said before tapping his forehead lightly.
~shua~
A character appeared on his forehead before it floated out. The glow of the characters was faint but enough to catch the attention of everyone.
"This… Ordained… no wonder." Daoist Hua had a sense of realization.
The other elders looked towards Daoist Hua for orders and waited for him to come out of his thoughts.
~Sigh~
The expression of Daoist Hua changed a few times before he sighed to himself.
"Junior Lin Mu is telling the truth. If he has been ordained by the will of the world, then we can believe him." Daoist Hua a.s.sured.
The others didn"t know what to think of it. On one hand, they were relieved that Lin Mu was trustable, but then on the other hand, they were also afraid of the reality that he had presented.
Immortal Ascension realm cultivators were legends to them and other than Daoist Hua, none of them had ever seen one. There has only been a handful of them throughout the history of the Xiaofan world and all of them were very influential.
"This is why I stressed on the need for an alliance. Gu Yao is merely the first obstacle we will face. The one after him will be the Northern Tribes, who I doubt will stay still when we deal with Gu Yao.
Even now, they are spreading in our homeland and taking over different places. We need to keep an eye out for them as well. It"s also why we set up the detection formation around the entire Hong Lin Kingdom.
That way, we know each and every person that enters and leaves the kingdom. So we will be able to track them down the moment, they enter this. I recommend all others do the same if they don"t have it set up already." Lin Mu explained.
"Junior Lin Mu is right. I"ve heard and seen the horrors of the northern tribes. They will stop at nothing to complete their goals. They are the most ruthless people in this world and will kill without mercy." Daoist Hua added.
Discussion and chatter occurred after their information was revealed to everyone. Lin Mu let them talk it out for a bit before he continued with his side.
"Elder Hua, do you think the top sects can be asked to help out… or rather, will those Immortal Ascension realm experts be willing to help us?" Lin Mu questioned.
~Sigh~
"It is hard to tell. They will usually only act if their own sect is being threatened. But if war truly breaks out, I reckon they won"t stand back. Of the three sects, only the Ancestor of the Centennial Sword sect is someone who I think may be ready to fight right away.
He still has grudges against the Northern tribes, and his own goal of fighting against a strong opponent will be fulfilled if the three Immortal Ascension realm cultivators of the Northern Tribes are revealed." Daoist Hua answered.
"What about the other two? What drives them?" Lin Mu asked further.
"The Ancestor of the Rainbow pill sect is said to be a shrewd man and won"t act unless benefits are involved. As for the Ancestor of the Sky Precepts sect, he is a mystery and I don"t know much about him." Daoist Hua replied.
"Hmm… there are still ways the ancestor of the Rainbow pill sect can be pushed to cooperate with us then." Lin Mu said.
"Are you thinking of making use of the alliance between them and the Great Zhou Empire?" Daoist Hua quickly grasped.
"Perhaps… it depends on whether we have that much time or if Gu Yao doesn"t gain control over them as well." Lin Mu replied while rubbing his chin.
"So our only option is to strengthen ourselves first." Daoist Hua said.
"Exactly. And for that, I have some other options that we can use." Lin Mu stated.
"Oh? What are they?" Daoist Hua said, feeling intrigued.
Lin Mu then went on to tell him about the Kong plan and how he was thinking of using it as a junction to move everyone around. Hearing it all, Daoist Hua was not only impressed, but also shocked.
He was impressed by the idea and shocked that Lin Mu could actually make formations like this and manipulate s.p.a.ce to that extent.
"THAT IS AMAZING!" one of the elders of the Noon gra.s.s sect named Liqiang exclaimed.
He seemed to be the most enthusiastic among the others and was paying the most attention to Lin Mu when he spoke about the formations.
"Indeed. That is something we would greatly like. If Junior Lin Mu can establish something like that, I reckon it might change the entire world." Daoist Hua proclaimed.
"If Daoist Hua is fine with it, we"d like to add the Noon Gra.s.s sect to it as well." Lin Mu said.
"Of course, and I believe Elder Liqiang would be more than willing to help you out with this endeavor as well. He is the head of our formations pavilion.." Daoist Hua replied.
