After reaching a certain level of strength, Lin Jin preferred to do things in a simple and direct manner.
Because he was a simple and direct person to begin with.
To Lin Jin, using the combined strength of the ghostly blood beast and the spirit devourer ghost worm to devour the headless zombie was the simplest and most direct method. Still, if the headless zombie was killed, the zombie's blood and aura would surely destroy Little Book Tower's painting realm. This was akin to sacrificing eight hundred men to kill one thousand enemies. Lin Jin wasn't dumb enough to do that.
Other methods had similar problems so after some thought, Lin Jin decided that swallowing the headless zombie was the best option.
Of course, the headless zombie wasn't that easy to kill. After all, it was immortal and an evil creature that couldn't be tolerated by nature.
However, both the ghostly blood beast and the spirit devouring ghost insect were evil creatures as well.
If Xiao Huo was said to have a pure Yang body among Lin Jin's pet beasts, then the ghostly blood beast and the spirit devouring ghost insect were evil creatures.
As evil creatures, they restrained each other and neither feared the other. Moreover, Lin Jin had learned quite a number of simple immortal spells during his month at the Cloud Path Sect.
For example, he could use the blood of the ghostly blood beast to create a universe.
Hence, despite the headless zombie's size, swallowing it was enough to seal it within the world of blood. Although Lin Jin now had a way to kill the headless zombie, it would be a waste to kill such a strange creature. Lin Jin wanted to study it further.
After swallowing the headless zombie, the ghostly blood beast and spirit devouring ghost insect were enough to suppress it. Lin Jin no longer had to use the demon sealing sword to suppress it. With a wave of his hand, he retrieved the sword.
Despite being stained with the zombie's blood, the demon sealing sword remained clean and shiny. Moments later, the blood on the blade was automatically purged. It was a miraculous sight.
When Lin Jin wielded the demon sealing sword, the Breezy Monster Sword at his waist hummed. Interestingly, the demon sealing sword was humming in response.
Very interesting.
Lin Jin quickly kept the demon sealing sword in the Museum of Deadly Beasts and hung it above the Demon Sealing Hall before heading to Xiao Shu Lou.
Upon witnessing Lin Jin's prowess, subduing the headless zombie so effortlessly, Xiao Lou gaped in awe. After a long while, he finally said, "Lin Jin, when did you become so powerful? Teach me. "
Lin Jin smiled.
He hadn't forgotten about this. In fact, Lin Jin had purposely searched for cultivation methods for monsters and monsters during his trip to the foreign lands.
Especially when it came to monster cultivation, Lin Jin wasn't an expert in it. Immortal sects had been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. They had a rich heritage and there were even some monsters who became immortals in history. Hence, there were many books on this topic.
Lin Jin borrowed it just so Shu Xiaolou could read it.
"Let's go somewhere else!" Lin Jin said and Shu Xiao Lou immediately understood. With a flick of her finger, she and Lin Jin were teleported into another painting world.
This place was just like the Peach Blossom House in the Heavenly Jade Academy.
Lin Jin took out all sorts of immortal books. Books were Shu Xiaolou's favorite so naturally, he was overjoyed. However, Lin Jin knew he had more important matters to attend to.
Because of the headless zombie, Shu Xiao Lou had entered the Painting Realm a few days ago and was trapped inside, so he didn't know what was happening in the outside world.
After Lin Jin briefly explained the situation, Shu Xiao Lou looked murderous.
"Since I'm back, I'll take care of this. The corrosion in the painting world is too severe and even the top layer has been corroded. So don't go anywhere from now on. Just stay here and study the books, then repair the painting world."
Lin Jin knew Shu Xiao Lou wanted to help but he knew that since he was back, he didn't need Shu Xiao Lou to go out anymore. Moreover, Shu Xiao Lou was in a critical situation now so he had to take care of it as soon as possible.
Shu Xiao Lou couldn't dissuade Lin Jin mainly because she noticed that Lin Jin seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. His strength had increased tremendously so she could focus on repairing the painting world.
Just as Lin Jin said, if something happened to the painting world, Shu Xiao Lou would be in deep trouble.
Lin Jin then flew out of the painting world and arrived at Heavenly Jade Academy.
Lin Jin didn't plan to linger in Heavenly Jade City for long nor did he want to waste time. After all, Heavenly Jade Kingdom had sent out their army to reinforce the Jade Dragon Kingdom.
Lin Jin immediately summoned a fiery cloud and soared into the sky. His speed was much faster than when he was riding on White Cloud.
A few students and teachers from Heavenly Jade Academy were dumbfounded when they saw Lin Jin riding the fiery cloud into the sky.
"I-Isn't that Teacher Lin?"
"He's back?"
"He's gone. Judging by the direction he's going, he should be heading toward the Jade Dragon Kingdom. I get it now. Teacher Lin is back to deal with Divine India."
"What incredible speed! What a dazzling fiery cloud!"
Lin Jin obviously couldn't hear these discussions.
Riding the fiery cloud required him to borrow Xiao Huo's strength. Moreover, the fiery cloud's speed and explosive power were much faster. If White Cloud was a bicycle in the past, this fiery cloud was definitely a sports car.
That was the difference between them.
With this increase in speed, Lin Jin could reach the Jade Dragon Kingdom's border much faster.
In the past, he might have needed to fly for several days. But now, it took less than an hour for Lin Jin to reach the border. Looking down from above, Lin Jin could see smoke rising from all directions. War cries could also be heard coming from the city below.
And this was in the direction of Heavenly Jade City. If it was Jade Dragon City closer to the Grassy Continent's border, it would have fallen long ago.
More than eighty percent of the Jade Dragon Kingdom's territory was currently embroiled in the chaos of war.
Lin Jin immediately steered the fiery cloud downward.
At this border city, the Jade Dragon Kingdom's defending army was already in shambles. If it weren't for Heavenly Jade's beast army, this place would have fallen long ago.
However, even with Heavenly Jade Nation's help, the Grassy Continent's allied army showed no signs of stopping. Instead, they threatened Heavenly Jade Nation to stay out of this mess.
Out of all the known allied forces, Divine India was undoubtedly the leader. Lin Jin had heard of the others and some were even old enemies.
Snake Country, Westward Country, Colossus Country, and Sand Country were among them.
Lin Jin still vividly remembered Snake Country and Westward Country. Back then, Little Five killed the son of Snake Country's state preceptor and that made Snake Country an enemy. Later on, Black Crow and Madam Ghost Child even went to Snake Country to wreak havoc. Back then, Snake Country's national fortunes declined so much that it almost fell out of the ranks of an intermediate country.
Westward Country's hatred for Lin Jin was even greater. One of Westward Country's thirteen kings, King Yan, died in Lin Jin's hands. However, this incident should have been kept a secret back then so Westward Country shouldn't have known.
However, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Back then, Lin Jin was afraid that they would find out, but not anymore.
However, the situation with the Grassy Continent's allied forces was different from what Lin Jin knew. Initially, he thought only one premium country, Divine India, was involved. Who knew Westward Country would be involved as well?
Westward Country was also a premium country.
