Chapter 2126 The Taiji Celestial
It wasn"t just Daoist Chu, Monk Hushu and Ziran that knew about the Taiji Celestial either, as Lady Kang joined in too.
"Taiji Celestial"s techniques and skills always have a heavy demand in the market. Though most of them are impossible to learn unless one pa.s.ses his trials and obtains the inheritance directly. But even the common ones that could be practiced by others sell for a lot." Lady Kang chimed in. "Our Great Kang Auction house once obtained one of his Qi skills that was sold for over six hundred million Immortal stones." "That much?" Lin Mu was shocked.
"Of course… it was a Qi skill that utilized both Yin and Yang elements in it." Lady Kang revealed. "You already know how rare and difficult that is." She said looking at him, knowing what its like.
"Indeed. If there is one expert that is known to be a master of the Yin and Yang elements, then it is none other than the Taiji Celestial. In fact, it"s even said that about half of the cultivation techniques and Qi skills that are for the Yin and Yang elements were either made by him or are derived from his original techniques." Daoist Chu said, being more knowledgeable about this aspect.
"With how long he"s been in existence, his influence and techniques have spread wide. His inheritance grounds can be found in thousands of places at this point. With more being added from time to time, by his disciples." Monk Hushu added, making Lin Mu quite interested.
"Wow… that"s really big." Lin Mu hadn"t expected such a figure to be missed by him. "Even Senior Xukong didn"t mention much about him after that." He thought.
"Of course. Even though The Taiji Celestial hasn"t been in the Immortal Realm for tens of millions of years, his reputation has not reduced in the slightest." Daoist Chu stated.
"Is he in the Celestial realm then?" Lin Mu questioned. "Considering his t.i.tle, he must be right?" he asked.
"That is… a bit of a complex thing." Daoist Chu replied.
"Yeah… It is said that The Taiji Celestial got his t.i.tle of celestial even before he was a celestial. Rather than it being a designation as his cultivation base, it was his Daoist t.i.tle itself." Ziran explained. "It isn"t just the Immortal realm either. I"ve heard rumors that it has been millions of years since the Taiji Celestial was seen in the Celestial realm. It is unknown whether he"s still there in seclusion or perhaps something happened to him." Lady Kang added, having her own sources of information.
"Tens of millions of years… could he have pa.s.sed on?" Lin Mu wondered.
"That is unlikely. With his disciple still present, it would have been known. Especially considering that his death would not be possible to hide. Most believe that he"s long since moved on… broken past the limits of a Celestial." Daoist Chu stated. "He might have reached a position we cannot even imagine." He added.
To Lin Mu, it all seemed rather dreamy and mysterious. To hear of such a great expert who has had an impact all over the world was awe inspiring.
"Yin and Yang element related skills and techniques are excellent and are often superior to other top skills of the same level. If I have the chance, I should look into the inheritance of the Taiji Celestial too. Especially with Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang being with me, they should benefit from it too." Lin Mu added another goal to his list.
"Still, considering the fact that it took a disciple of the Taiji Celestial to defeat the chimeric beasts is a major thing." Ziran returned to the original topic.
"Yeah… And if there are Yin Heart Puppets here too that can only mean…" Lin Mu replied before taking a pause.
"The Onyx Chimeric Legion might have something to do with this place too… Or the Celestial could have belonged to them as well." Ziran stated.
This made both Monk Hushu and Lin Mu furrow their brows as they both had their concerns about it.
Monk Hushu had listened to the old stories taught to him by the elders and the danger they spoke about the Chimeras. While Lin Mu had his own clash with the Chasm Beasts as well as the Indigo woman that seemed to be able to control them.
"Where does this all link?" Lin Mu questioned himself. "If it really has something to do with the Onyx Chimeric Legion, perhaps we might need to rea.s.sess what kind of inheritance this place bears." Lady Kang suddenly said hinting at the fact that it might not be something they would be able to use.
Even so, they now had no choice but to go further, as one could not simply leave the inheritance ground easily.
Plus, going back now would be a great waste and no one wanted to do that. Everyone knew that one needed to take a risk to obtain great fortune in the Jianghu.
~huu~
Lin Mu took a deep breath before silently chanting the Calming Heart sutra, composing himself, as well as sorting out his thoughts.
"I think we"re getting strayed from our current goal. We should focus on how we are to move onto the next trial." Lin Mu said before glancing at the platform with the keys. "As such, how many keys did you manage to obtain?" he asked, looking at Ziran.
"Ah yes, the keys!" Ziran had almost forgotten about them in the conversation. "We got quite a few, actually." He said before taking out a large bunch.
"Huh…" Seeing the number of keys, not only Lin Mu, but the others were stunned. "This is more than all of us combined."
They counted the keys that Ziran had and the ones they had obtained and realized that they now had a total of ninety five keys!
"This… Is almost enough to fill all the keyholes!" Daoist Chu said out loud.
They didn"t wait anymore and quickly socketed all the keys before turning them.
