The inner sea of clouds was the storm beast lair. No outsider had ever set foot inside and Lin Jin was the first.
For the past day or so, Lin Jin had been conducting an in-depth study of the storm beast lair. Despite the short period of time, he was progressing at a breakneck pace.
Unlike others who studied beasts, Lin Jin had the Museum of Deadly Beasts to guide him. It was just like walking through a maze. Some people like Immortal Drifting Cloud were shrouded in mist. How they walked and whether they could make it out was entirely up to fate. They had to take it one step at a time. Lin Jin was different. It was as if he was looking at the maze from God's perspective. Although there were still some difficulties, it was a hundred times easier than others.
"This storm beast lair is amazing. It's hard to imagine such a beast exists in this world." Even though Lin Jin had only studied it for a day, it was better than a thousand years of research.
Lin Jin wasn't boasting. It was the truth.
"The Cloud Path Sect and the storm beast lair have been together for thousands of years. I'm afraid they don't know much about this intimate partner," Lin Jin mumbled to himself. At the same time, a cloud of mist emerged from the sea of clouds beside him. It slowly condensed into the shapes of various beasts, each of them unique in their own way.
This was one of Lin Jin's unique skills that allowed him to discover the storm beast lair.
Transformation.
Moreover, this transformation skill was probably the most advanced kind. Not only did it look like a transformation, but it could also transform into a different form to move around and even fight.
After all, the storm was incorporeal, just like flowing water. Although it wasn't as tangible as flowing water, it had the advantage of being ethereal. There were so many benefits to being ethereal, such as being able to appear and disappear unpredictably.
Lin Jin communicated with the storm beast lair for a long time. Then, he made it clear that there was no need to split into smaller storm beasts anymore. That would be damaging to one's cultivation.
This was also why the Cloud Path Sect didn't know much about the storm beast lair. For the past thousands of years, the continuous separation of storm beasts had actually caused great harm to the storm beast lair.
Otherwise, with the storm beast lair's aptitude and lifespan, it wouldn't be a Rank 7 beast now. It would be at least Rank 8, maybe even Rank 9.
A naturally born Rank 9 storm beast. Just the thought of it made one's heart pound.
It was a pity that the storm beast lair didn't meet him.
But it wasn't too late now.
The Wind Cloud Beasts that were split off would run out of lifespan over time and die directly.
Some were even directly killed by the enemy, their bodies smashed to pieces.
The Yun Dao Sect treated the Wind Beast as a special beast to fight and protect the sect. However, they didn't realize that the Wind Beast Lair was the key.
"Forget it, I'll just write an evaluation report for them." Lin Jin thought about how it had been a long time since he last wrote an evaluation report. At his level of beast appraising, especially after leaving Heavenly Jade Academy, he had never written an evaluation report again.
Today, he was going to write one for the immortals of the Yun Dao Sect.
The evaluation report contained some information about the storm beast lair. The key was how to nurture it from now on. Speaking of which, the storm beast lair had spent so much time with the immortals of the Cloudpath Sect that it had developed a bond with them. It was unwilling to leave with Lin Jin. Of course, even Lin Jin couldn't bring himself to do this.
He was there to provide a beast appraisal and treatment, but he ended up abducting the sect's guardian Immortal Beast when he left. If it were any other sect, it would have been fine, but the Cloud Dao Sect was not bad. Perfected Xuanyue and Qin Yunshang were friends, so it was not right to do so.
Lin Jin would never do something like that.
However, it wouldn't be right to say that Lin Jin gained nothing this time.
In fact, Lin Jin had gained a lot this time. Studying the storm beast lair had given Lin Jin great inspiration. This life form was clearly of a higher level.
Lin Jin felt that Xiao Huo could try using this method to achieve Rank 7 in the future.
Interestingly, this method was similar to the method the Museum of Deadly Beasts gave Xiao Huo to achieve Rank 7. Back then, the museum gave Xiao Huo three methods to achieve Rank 7.
The first two methods required a lot of rare materials such as the Blaze Pill and the nine suns crystal. Lin Jin had Northern Qi's Xiang Yun and Huo Yuan's help so he could get a sufficient supply.
For example, Northern Qi's Xiang Yun was also staying at Xuan Dao Sect to use the sect's reserved resources to refine the Blaze Pill. As long as there were enough materials, the process would be quick.
However, the refinement of the nine suns crystal required a fire immortal and only Huo Yuan had the ability to do so.
However, Huo Yuan still had quite a number of Buddha beads made from nine suns crystals. It should be enough for Xiao Huo to achieve Rank 7.
Other than that, Xiao Huo would need other rare materials to achieve Rank 7. However, Lin Jin's study of the storm beast lair had given him a different idea.
Different forms meant different methods of evolution.
Why not use this opportunity to use the storm beast lair to make some adjustments to Xiao Huo's form? Who knows, there might be unexpected results.
Of course, even if that didn't happen, Lin Jin didn't mind. He just wanted to give Xiao Huo a new supernatural power.
With that thought in mind, Lin Jin summoned Xiao Huo. A ball of fire leaped out from Lin Jin's right shoulder and with a leap, it transformed into a fire wolf. Upon landing, it looked around, clearly curious about this endless sea of clouds.
The second supernatural power of the storm beast lair was to stir the five elements and enhance the power of the storm.
No one knew about this supernatural power except for Lin Jin.
In other words, aside from Lin Jin, no one else had the ability to activate the storm beast lair's supernatural power. This was a huge advantage for Lin Jin.
Lin Jin vaguely sensed that all the beasts in this world belonged to the five elements. The storm beast lair's ability to stir the five elements and enhance external forces was definitely predestined.
Could this be heaven's will?
Lin Jin said something to Xiao Huo and the latter immediately turned into a ball of fire. Then, Lin Jin grabbed a cloud and chanted a few words. The next instant, white clouds rose with the wind like nine dragons swallowing a pearl, surging toward the ball of fire Xiao Huo had transformed into.
Then, the fire reflected the clouds. The clouds carried the fire, and the wind blended together.
This was a process that Lin Jin wasn't in a hurry.
He could use this time to write a copy of his evaluation for the Cloud Path Sect. However, little did Lin Jin know that while he was writing, Spiritual Master Xuan Yue and Immortal Drifting Cloud were already planning to tie him to the Cloud Path Sect.
While he was writing, a cloud of mist gathered like a cloud tentacle. It reached out stealthily and watched Lin Jin write.
Noticing the anomaly, Lin Jin turned to look at it and smiled.
"Once you give this evaluation report to Spiritual Master Xuan Yue, you'll be able to taste the fragrance of grains every day."
The storm beast cave seemed to understand Lin Jin's words as it materialized a smiley face. Then, the smiley face morphed into a skylark. Holding the evaluation report in its beak, the skylark flew away, vanishing into thin air in an instant.
Just as Lin Jin was about to speak, Xiao Huo suddenly burst into flames, illuminating the sea of clouds in red.
