Inside the Unending Nature Landscape, the immortals grew anxious. Without realizing it, they had become extremely reliant on Lin Jin. But since they couldn't contact Lin Jin, they could only wait.
Sage Mystic Moon didn't wait any longer. She was determined to avenge her junior brother so she was thinking of ways to improve her cultivation. As the current sect master of the Cloud Path Sect, Sage Mystic Moon naturally knew some of the sect's secret techniques. She entered the storm beast lair alone to search for a way to improve herself.
The others didn't try to dissuade her but they all knew that even if Sage Mystic Moon managed to achieve a breakthrough, she would at most reach the level of a carefree immortal.
Still, she wouldn't be a match for God Yan.
God Yan had clearly grasped the power of a sage. He was half-human and half-snake and could control an ancient beast like the heaven mending spider. Based on the current situation, no one could defeat him other than the immortal devouring beast.
They had been waiting for Lin Jin because they wanted to find someone to discuss their strategy with. They weren't hoping that Lin Jin could defeat Lord Gu. Everyone knew this.
Perhaps it was because Sage Mystic Moon knew this that she went into the storm beast lair alone to study the secret technique. She was clearly planning to seek revenge on her own.
"Everyone, I'm afraid that God Lord Gai has other motives for ambushing Xuan Dao Sect and Cloud Path Sect. It's most likely to lure Lin Jin out for revenge," Huo Yuan said after some thought.
He knew God Yan well. God Yan was a narrow-minded man who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. After suffering such a huge loss at Lin Jin and Huo Yuan's hands, God Yan almost lost his life. Hence, the first thing he did after coming out was to seek revenge.
The reason why he attacked Xuan Dao Sect and Cloud Path Sect was most likely because of Lin Jin.
"Does that mean he wanted to lure Lin Jin out?" Someone had a flash of inspiration. "This is bad. Now that he failed, he'll definitely fly into a rage. He'll most likely head to Heartland and cause trouble for the Jade Dragon Kingdom."
The ones who spoke were Qin Yunshang and Chen Xuankong.
They knew about how the Beast God Cult controlled the five countries of Grassy Continent to attack the Jade Dragon Kingdom. There was no guarantee that God Yan wouldn't do the same.
With God Yan's current cultivation level, no one could stop him if he wanted to attack a mortal country.
"Divine Lord Yan still has a trace of Celestial aura. He doesn't dare to leave the outer region. Otherwise, he will be chased by the Celestial Devouring Beast." Someone shook his head and raised an objection.
However, very quickly, someone said, "Someone saw another person beside Sir God Man. It is Patriarch Xue Pao. Don't forget, he has a treasure that can hide his aura. Maybe that thing has already fallen into Sir God Man's hands."
In an instant, everyone gasped and fell silent.
If that was the case, the situation would be troublesome.
Because based on the current situation, God Lord Gai might really go to the Jade Dragon Kingdom to cause trouble. Two immortal sects could hide, but how could a kingdom do that?
Even the Unending Nature Landscape couldn't possibly contain the entire Jade Dragon Kingdom.
For a moment, everyone was burning with anxiety.
Meanwhile, Lin Jin was oblivious to all this. After Xiao Huo evolved, Lin Jin was in a great mood. Instead of returning home, he went with Elderly Lord to the deepest part of the Nine-heaven Realm, where Primordial Immortal Mountain was, where the Heaven's Foundation was located.
However, they dared not approach. Not only was the Heavenly Dao Foundation here, but it was also the habitat of the Celestial Devouring Beast. Not only that, two thousand years ago, when the Immortal Emperor led many immortals here, they were killed by the Heavenly Dao Foundation. Ever since then, this immortal mountain had been shrouded in chaotic thunderclouds and no one could set foot inside.
If they approached recklessly, they would immediately trigger a lightning tribulation and die a violent death.
Lin Jin and the Old Supreme Elder had come here because the Old Supreme Elder wanted to retrieve another pill furnace that he had abandoned in the past. The Heaven and Earth Pill Furnace had been destroyed during Xiao Huo's advancement. If the Old Supreme Elder wanted to refine something, he would not be able to do so without a suitable weapon. The pill furnace that he had refined himself had been thrown in this Heaven Realm. The Old Supreme Elder had come to retrieve this sword immortal weapon.
Of course, this place was far from the immortal mountain. But even from afar, they could feel the danger of the immortal mountain.
Lin Jin looked worried because only he knew about something. After Xiao Huo evolved to Rank 8, the Museum of Deadly Beasts didn't give him a method to evolve to Rank 9.
This was the first time.
In the past, the Museum of Deadly Beasts could identify any pet beast and give them an evolution method without exception. But this Rank 8 Xiao Huo was an exception.
Lin Jin was naturally worried. Without a method to evolve to Rank 9, how could Xiao Huo evolve?
It was like a player who had been cheating for a long time only to realize that his cheating device had lost its effect in the next match. There were no more hints.
This was an endless sense of fear that only Lin Jin could feel.
Although Rank 8 Xiao Huo was strong enough, so strong that Lin Jin believed that as long as he didn't provoke the Celestial Devouring Beast, he could deal with any enemy in this world.
From now on, Xiao Huo would be able to live a peaceful life.
Perhaps this was a good thing. Lin Jin and the Celestial Devouring Beast didn't have any grudges so there was no need for them to fight each other to the death. But this was like taking a step towards the door. To reach the top of the mountain, one had to take a hundred thousand steps. But after ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, one had to stop.
Not being able to take this final step was excruciating.
Other than discomfort, there was also regret.
But after calming down, he thought about it. Why did he have to take this final step?
It wasn't necessary.
Why did he have to fight to the death with the Celestial Devouring Beast?
Now that Lin Jin didn't provoke the Celestial Devouring Beast, the Celestial Devouring Beast wouldn't provoke him. Wouldn't it be better if they minded their own business from now on?
At this thought, Lin Jin took a deep breath. Suddenly, he felt enlightened and much more at ease.
Right.
There was no need for him to fight to the death. He was no different from standing on top of the mountain. He was invincible and carefree. Not to mention, he had made so many friends. With a single command, the world would respond. So what was the point of being so demanding?
He should just live a more relaxed life.
Lin Jin brainwashed himself, and slowly, it took effect.
Just then, Old Lord retrieved the pellet furnace he had discarded earlier and smiled at Lin Jin. "Young Friend Lin, it's done. Let's go. We shouldn't stay here for long. If we stay too long, something might happen." Lin Jin nodded.
Lin Jin nodded. Then, he tapped on Cosmos Ink and said to Old Lord, "Old Lord, Lin Jin will take you to a good place."
Old Lord was the most important friend Lin Jin knew. It was too dangerous to leave Old Lord alone in the Nine Heavens World. Moreover, Lin Jin knew that Old Lord was bent on seeking revenge on the Celestial Devouring Beast.
Hence, to protect him, it was safest to bring him back to the Unending Nature Landscape.
Old Lord glanced at Lin Jin as if he could tell that Lin Jin wasn't looking to improve himself. But he shook his head. "It's just an art world, a tiny Unending Nature Landscape. It's just a joke. It's fine if you don't go. Back then, I only drew it for fun with the Immortal Emperor and Xuan Xuanzi. I didn't expect it to fall into your hands."
Lin Jin was surprised that Old Lord was so familiar with the Unending Nature Landscape. But soon, Lin Jin came to a realization.
"You're Duke Huang Long?"
Inside the Unending Nature Landscape, there were three names: Duke Huang Long, Li Jian, and Xuan Xuanzi. Lin Jin already knew that Li Jian was the Immortal Emperor and Xuan Xuanzi was the Immortal Empress. Only Duke Huang Long was unknown to him. Now, it seemed like this Duke Huang Long was most likely Old Lord.
The Grand Supreme Elder laughed. "I've almost forgotten the name of the secular world."
This was considered an admission.
Lin Jin was about to say something when a silhouette emerged from the Cosmos Ink he tapped on. It was Xiao Shu Lou. She looked anxious as she pulled Lin Jin away.
Lin Jin was stunned. He could tell that Xiao Shu Lou had something urgent to attend to so he didn't ask. Old Lord was stunned. After a moment of thought, he followed them.
He and Lin Jin were old friends so he would have to rely on Lin Jin in the future. If Lin Jin encountered any other trouble, Old Lord wouldn't mind lending a helping hand.
Soon, Lin Jin met up with the immortals of Xuan Dao Sect and Cloud Path Sect and learned about Lord God Cover.
Upon hearing that Lord God Cover had harmed Xuan Hang Immortal, Lin Jin was instantly enraged.
