Huo Yuan was familiar with the Beast God Cult. They had crossed paths before the Great Calamity of Immortality and it could be said that there was a grudge between them. This time, it was a new grudge on top of an old one.
As for Patriarch Xue Pao, Huo Yuan didn't know much about him.
Reverend Miao Yan, on the other hand, knew who he was. He had even met Patriarch Xue Pao before but to think that the latter had turned into an evil being.
After all, no matter how powerful Reverend Miao Yan was, he couldn't predict what would happen a thousand years later.
Upon hearing that Lin Jin could use the Sky Gate's Cloud Bridge technique to connect reality and the painting world, even true immortals like Huo Yuan and Reverend Miao Yan were dumbfounded.
"What a bold idea and a stunning one at that." This was their evaluation.
The two true immortals clearly had high praises for this method. Lin Jin didn't dare to take credit for it. He wasn't the one who came up with this idea, it was Shu Xiao Lou.
Shu Xiao Lou was the one to carry it out while Lin Jin was just an errand boy.
Returning to Middle Earth was the dream of many immortals. Now that their wish had been fulfilled, they were elated. However, the risks involved were great. Although Lin Jin had described this plan in an extravagant manner, it had never been done before. Whether or not the immortal devouring beast could be fooled was another matter.
If it didn't work, they wouldn't even be able to escape.
Huo Yuan trusted Lin Jin. Since the Beast God Cult could fool the immortal devouring beast with the black fog cage, Lin Jin should be able to use the painting world as well.
In short, Huo Yuan decided to follow Lin Jin.
In Xuan Dao Sect, Lin Jin left behind a painting. This painting was painted by Shu Xiao Lou but before he entered Shu Xiao Lou's painting world, Lin Jin only had one drop of Universe Ink so he couldn't leave it behind.
To Lin Jin and Shu Xiaolou, this painting was as good as a door to their future.
If they were to return to the outside world in the future, it would be much more convenient.
Tapping on the Universe Ink, Lin Jin and Huo Yuan entered the painting one after the other. Up in the sky, the Breeze Monster sensed Lin Jin's aura and flew over in a flash.
"What a peerless immortal sword!" Monk Huo Yuan couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the sword light.
For a true immortal like Fire-Cultivating Monk Huoyuan to praise it so highly, the Breezy Monster's aura was clearly much stronger than before. Even Lin Jin felt like he was getting to know the Breezy Monster all over again.
Without a doubt, a few days of studying and cultivating the Cosmos Sword Sutra had greatly improved the Qingfeng Demon Sword. Back then, when he was comprehending the Heavenly Dao Sword Sutra, the Qingfeng Demon Sword had already reached the Immortal Sword Realm. Now, it had undoubtedly advanced to the next level.
Lin Jin stretched out his hand and the Qingfeng Demon Sword floated above his palm. Looking at the sword, it seemed to be even longer than before. The edge of the sword was even sharper and shone with a green glow.
This had never happened before.
"Immortal swords are rare even during the golden age of the immortal dao. I once met a high official of the Immortal Dynasty, the Devil-Sweeping Great Emperor. The Devil-Sweeping Sword in his hand was strong enough to kill a True Immortal. This one here has quite the might of the Devil-Sweeping Immortal Sword." Huo Yuan's words allowed Lin Jin to confirm the grade of the Breeze Monster Sword.
Just like how Xiao Huo leveled up from Rank 6 to Rank 7, the Breeze Monster Sword went through a similar process.
The two magic treasures that Lin Jin was most comfortable with were the Breeze Demon Sword and the Four Seas Calabash Gourd. Both of them had been upgraded in the Unending Nature Landscape.
This meant that Lin Jin's strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
This was good news.
Just then, a divine gate appeared before them and Shu Xiao Lou's figure appeared.
The current Xiao Lou of Books looked very different from before. The Xiao Lou of Books from before was more lively and full of life, but the Xiao Lou of Books that appeared now had an additional sense of calmness and majesty.
"This is Master Huo Yuan!" Lin Jin introduced. Shu Xiao Lou bowed. Huo Yuan, on the other hand, looked shocked as he quickly returned the greeting with a respectful demeanor.
Lin Jin guessed that Shu Xiao Lou must be carrying the aura of an immortal queen. After all, this Unending Nature Landscape was drawn by Immortal Emperor Li Jian and Immortal Queen Xuan Xuanzi together.
As the painting spirit of the Unending Nature Landscape, Shu Xiao Lou must have been tainted by their auras. As a True Immortal, it wasn't surprising that Huo Yuan could sense it.
"Master Huo Yuan, I've drawn a painting in Daluo Temple's Nine Zen Pavilion. Come with me." Shu Xiao Lou went straight to the point. Lin Jin was curious. Since when did Shu Xiao Lou draw in Daluo Temple?
Did she know how to clone herself?
Soon, Lin Jin realized that Shu Xiao Lou was a little strange. Upon closer inspection, it was different from the Shu Xiao Lou he was familiar with.
Perhaps noticing Lin Jin's confusion, Shu Xiao Lou explained, "This is a clone technique I learned. My real body is still inside the Origin Painting Realm."
Lin Jin finally understood.
It was convenient for Shu Xiao Lou to use her clone to draw and guide him.
However, Lin Jin could tell that Shu Xiao Lou needed time to study the Unending Nature Landscape. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so busy that she only sent a clone over.
But if a clone already had such an aura, what would Shu Xiao Lou's real body look like?
Lin Jin was curious to find out.
Shu Xiao Lou's clone soon brought Lin Jin and Huo Yuan to an interesting place. It was also on the first layer of the painting realm but it was clearly newly opened.
Lin Jin found the mountain before him familiar.
"Isn't this Mount Daluo?" Lin Jin snapped out of his daze. Daluo Temple was depicted on the mountain and it looked exactly like the real Daluo Temple.
Lin Jin understood at once.
Shu Xiao Lou's supernatural power was truly amazing. With this, she could sneak in the Sky Gate cloud bridge that connected to Daluo Temple. Lin Jin could even see three layers of restrictions around Daluo Temple.
Lin Jin understood at once.
Although Huo Yuan couldn't leave the Unending Nature Landscape to enter Daluo Temple, the monks of Daluo Temple could enter the Unending Nature Landscape without anyone noticing.
With this, it would be much easier for Huo Yuan to manage Daluo Temple and teach Buddhism.
Admittedly, this was a wonderfully designed place.
Zhi Nian, who was traveling with them in the Grassy Continent's Daluo Temple, looked exhausted. He knew that his virtue, dharmic teachings, and cultivation were not enough to lead Daluo Temple, so he had been under a lot of pressure lately.
Daluo Temple mustn't fall. But Obsession knew that he couldn't do anything about it. Truth be told, he had no choice but to let Lin Jin take over Daluo Temple. After all, Lin Jin wasn't a monk nor did he study Buddhism. Even Obsession thought it was a far-fetched idea but there was nothing he could do about it. Fortunately, Lin Jin offered to help Daluo Temple find an abbot with top-notch morals, cultivation, and Dharma.
But where were they supposed to find one?
Just then, a young monk ran in excitedly and said, "Senior Zhi Nian, there's a Buddha's glow. There's a Buddha's glow in Nine Zen Pavilion."
Buddha's glow?
Zhi Nian's first reaction was disbelief.
Buddha's glow could only be manifested by a Buddha. How could there be a Buddha in this world?
To them, a Buddha was an immortal.
The next moment, Zhi Nian got up and walked out. Once outside, he was dumbfounded. There really was a seven-colored Buddha's glow shooting up into the sky from Nine Zen Pavilion.
Most Buddhas only had five-colored Buddha's glow. Seven-colored Buddha's glow was at the level of a true immortal.
