Meanwhile, Zuo Wentang was arranging places for Qu Wenji and Tilly. As a veteran, Zuo Wentang knew that Maple City was currently the most dangerous place. It wasn't appropriate for them to go back, but they couldn't go too far either.
Fortunately, Zuo Wentang had secretly bought some properties for himself over the years. Some of them were in the surrounding villages, and they were all well-hidden. No one but Zuo Wentang knew about them.
Zuo Wentang had to hurry. He couldn't afford to waste too much time or he would arouse suspicion.
As for Lin Jin, he wasn't as troubled as Zuo Wentang.
However, he didn't return to Maple City.
He had an epiphany earlier. Like a gushing spring, he couldn't stop it no matter how hard he tried.
Therefore, he directly went up to the mountain he had created out of thin air. Then, he sat cross-legged at the top of the mountain, quietly pondering. Meanwhile, a smaller version of Xiao Huo jumped out from Tang An's arm, tossing up and down.
Lin Jin knew Xiao Huo was elated after going through a dangerous ordeal, but what he was about to do next might destroy Xiao Huo's good mood.
"Xiao Huo, I'm going to use my telekinesis to investigate that nine-heaven realm again," Lin Jin suddenly said. Lin Jin suddenly said. Even he himself wasn't sure if this was the right decision.
Speaking of which, Lin Jin's heart was pounding.
However, his epiphany earlier wasn't complete. There were still many questions that Lin Jin had to return to that place to get the real answer.
Sure enough, Xiao Huo panicked upon hearing this. Frosty air and flames kept coming out of his body.
Lin Jin knew that Xiao Huo was worried about him.
After all, it would be dangerous to use his telekinesis to investigate that place again. Xiao Huo knew better than anyone how terrifying that situation was earlier.
However, since Lin Jin had this idea, he had to do it. Otherwise, those questions would be like a fishbone stuck in his throat and he wouldn't feel comfortable no matter what.
Just like now. Lin Jin was sitting on this small mountain because this small mountain was the result of the nine-heaven realm's edict.
Even if it wasn't a particularly large mountain, Lin Jin was still 'tempted' by this remarkable ability.
It was no wonder that it triggered a backlash from heaven and earth, triggering the nine-heaven realm. Indeed, only ancient immortals could possess such power.
Because of this, Lin Jin had to get to the bottom of this. Otherwise, he would never dare to use this edict again.
Xiao Huo obviously couldn't dissuade Lin Jin. After some thought, the latter closed his eyes and split his psyche.
Lin Jin had kept an eye on how to enter the nine-heaven realm. Before he left, he used Cloud Treading to leave a portion of the nine-heaven realm's aura in the museum.
This kind of thing was not suitable no matter where it was placed. It was like sulfuric acid. Other things would not be able to withstand it. Only certain things would work.
That nine-heaven realm's aura was the same. If that thing were to be absorbed into one's body, forget Lin Jin, even stronger beasts and monsters would surely die.
Fortunately, the Museum of Deadly Beasts could accommodate these auras. These auras were the spiritual bridges that allowed Lin Jin to once again peek into that mysterious world, the ninth heaven realm.
Lin Jin was the one who came up with the name 'Nine Heavens Realm'.
Back then, when the nine-heaven realm extended upward, it was so astounding that he came up with this name.
Right now, Lin Jin was using the aura of the nine-heaven realm he stole to comprehend it. Like a fish in troubled waters, it was all up to luck. Suddenly, he touched it. Lin Jin opened his eyes.
What Lin Jin opened was his Dharma Eye.
What he saw now was the world that his Dharma Eye could see.
Sure enough, he had entered that mysterious realm again.
Lin Jin looked up at the nine-heaven realm above his head and immediately felt that boundless pressure. But it was different this time. He had 'snuck in' so he didn't attract any attention. Hence, the situation was much better than before.
However, the more it was like this, the more cautious Lin Jin knew he had to be. If he wasn't careful, he could 'screw up' and he didn't want to bear the consequences.
Under such circumstances, Lin Jin didn't dare to probe recklessly. He just wanted to borrow this aura to enhance his psyche.
Because last time, Lin Jin realized that this place had a great effect on strengthening psyche. Psyche was formless and formless. There were ancient ways to cultivate psyche, but it was no longer feasible in modern times. Moreover, the mantra had been lost and only some legends had been passed down.
However, this place was like a blacksmith's shop that could cultivate psyche. Given enough time, one's psyche could be enhanced as if it had been tempered thousands of times.
Lin Jin's main goal this time was to use the aura of this unique place to condense his psyche.
There were many benefits to having a strong psyche. Increasing one's resistance to enemy spells was just one aspect. Other than that, the strength of one's own spells would also increase.
Right now, Lin Jin was alone in this strange nine-heaven realm. Most of the time, he sat cross-legged in silence. Occasionally, as if seeking death, he would sneak a peek at the nine-heaven realm above his head.
'There's a palace above the nine heavens. Since there's a palace, is there someone living in it? ' Lin Jin mused. He was even more curious about the source of that bestial roar that came from above. Why was it so terrifying? Even he was frightened out of his wits.
'There's a beast above the nine heavens? '
Lin Jin was just making an irresponsible guess. Suddenly, Lin Jin felt a powerful aura brushing past his head and he quickly hid.
At the same time, a blazing firebird flew across the sky like a scorching sun.
Even with his Dharma eyes, Lin Jin found it hard to look at. All he could see was that this firebird was covered in flaming feathers and had three tails. Not only was it intimidating, it was also beautiful.
Suddenly, Lin Jin recalled something.
Why did this firebird look so much like a Golden Crow?
Lin Jin wasn't making a wild guess. Back when he appraised Goldy, he already knew that Goldy had a trace of Golden Crow's bloodline. Hence, Lin Jin must have seen the Golden Crow in the museum.
Of course, Lin Jin didn't think such a thing existed. But now, the more he looked at the firebird flying across the sky, the more he thought it looked like one.
It was a Golden Crow.
Alive.
Lin Jin's heart immediately raced and his psyche wavered.
Just then, the Golden Crow flew into the layers of clouds. However, Lin Jin's keen eyesight allowed him to catch sight of a spark falling from the sky.
A spark?
It wasn't a tiny spark but a feather.
A Golden Crow's feather.
When the Golden Crow flew past earlier, a feather had somehow dropped down. At this, a fiery thought popped into Lin Jin's mind.
He had to get his hands on that feather.
It was definitely a priceless treasure, at least to the current Lin Jin.
But how was he going to get his hands on it? After all, who knew where that feather would end up? Lin Jin couldn't hold himself back anymore. He knew this was an opportunity.
This feather came from a real Golden Crow. If he could get his hands on it, it would definitely be of great help to Goldy.
Goldy was Lin Jin's second pet beast after Xiao Huo. Although he had always been unreliable, Goldy could still come in handy during crucial moments.
Also, Goldy's bloodline was arguably the most powerful among all of Lin Jin's pet beasts. Now that he had a chance to get his hands on a real Golden Crow's feather, he had to get it.
With that thought in mind, Lin Jin began casting the Cloud Mist Spell using his psyche.
One had to know that unleashing a spell technique in this place was extremely risky. If one were to be careless for even a moment, they could be 'discovered'. If that were to happen, they would have to suffer another terrifying pressure from heaven and earth.
However, Lin Jin had a trump card.
Last time, he only managed to escape thanks to the museum's power. It would be the same this time. Either way, Lin Jin had to get his hands on that feather.
As for taking it a step further, Lin Jin did consider capturing the Golden Crow alive, plucking its feathers, or even extracting some of its blood.
But this idea was only a mere thought.
For example, the Golden Crow that flew by just now. The energy it exuded was definitely stronger than any pet beast or monster Lin Jin had encountered so far.
As for how strong it was, Lin Jin couldn't say. But he was certain that he was no match for it.
Since that was the case, he couldn't act recklessly.
Under the effect of the Cloud Mist Spell, Lin Jin pushed his psyche to its limits. In the sky, a cloud of mist coalesced into a bird. It flapped its wings, trying to bite the feather.
However, from below, it seemed calm. In fact, even the lowest layer of the Nine Heavens Cloud Mist was being buffeted by strong winds. Lin Jin had to give it his all to keep the bird from being blown away.
The bird had a pair of cloudy eyes that Lin Jin had conjured with his spell. With this, he could observe his surroundings with the help of the bird.
Because of this, Lin Jin had indirectly ascended to the Nine Heavens Cloud Mist. Although he was only at the lowest layer, from this distance, he could tell that the Nine Heavens Cloud Mist lived up to its name. The clouds were so huge that the layers seemed to be separated by a world. Lin Jin could actually see mountains at the lowest layer of the mist. They were majestic and he could even vaguely see traces of strange beasts.
"Roar!"
A strange cry was heard. Using his Dharma Eyes, Lin Jin saw a four-clawed dragon with an emerald green body flying toward him. It was a rare sight to see a dragon of such size. The aura it exuded could easily overwhelm the old dragon Lin Jin had encountered before.
But that wasn't the scariest part. This four-clawed dragon was being chased by another pet beast. This pet beast was even larger, resembling a monstrous catfish. On its head was a hundred feet long and its overall length was probably more than three hundred feet. In the next instant, the monstrous catfish opened its jaws and bit down on the fleeing four-clawed dragon, swallowing it whole. Blood splattered everywhere, creating a gory scene.
