The scenery of the immortal mountain was superb, but it was a pity that no one was there to enjoy it with Lin Jin.
Beside the Heaven's Stone, inside a cave on the cliff, Lin Jin looked into the distance. Ever since he arrived here with Laojun, Lin Jin had been wandering around the mountain in search of the scattered Heaven's Stone fragments. It had been seven years now.
Seven years wasn't a short period of time for Lin Jin. In these seven years, he had practically traveled all over the immortal mountain. Of course, if he were to rely on his own feet, forget seven years, even seventy years might not be enough.
Just then, Lin Jin whistled and a fine horse galloped over. The horse was entirely white and had a ring of golden fur on its hooves. With its sturdy physique, it would definitely be a priceless treasure in Middle Earth.
But in this celestial mountain, similar wild horses could be found everywhere.
Of course, even if it was a wild horse, it was a wild horse from the immortal mountain. At Rank 7, it was the highest ranked horse Lin Jin had ever seen.
Lin Jin leaped onto the horse. The white stallion was highly intelligent and immediately galloped off with Lin Jin on its back. In no time at all, they had traveled a hundred miles and arrived at a low-lying mountain stream.
Even though it was called a mountain stream, it was massive. The height of the stream was more than a thousand feet. Had Lin Jin walked here alone, it would have taken him an entire day. But with the white horse, it only took a few moments.
After seven years of research, Lin Jin was now certain that there was a mysterious energy within this mountain that could enhance wild beasts. This energy was most likely emitted by the damaged Heaven's Path Foundation.
In terms of beast appraising, Lin Jin had improved by leaps and bounds over the past seven years. He began flipping through the information on the appraised beasts in the Museum of Deadly Beasts one by one, committing them to memory. His appraisal skills and experience were improving by the day.
Because Lin Jin knew very well that besides the Heaven Dao Foundation Stone Fragment that he had to extract from the Immortal Devouring Beast's body, he had another one with him.
This Heavenly Dao Cornerstone Fragment was the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
In other words, sooner or later, Lin Jin would have to hand over the Museum of Deadly Beasts to mend the heavens and save the world. Hence, for the past seven years, Lin Jin had been using his own beast appraising skills instead of the museum.
Several years ago, Lin Jin even announced the closure of the Visitation Hall, no longer entering it as the curator.
All good things must come to an end, and the Museum of Deadly Beasts was no exception.
Lin Jin knew that he had relied on the museum for his rise to power, but this reliance couldn't last forever. Lin Jin understood that it was time to part ways.
Taming this Rank 7 white horse was Lin Jin's own doing. He didn't borrow the museum's power and this was something Lin Jin was proud of.
There was a pond at the bottom of the stream that was as large as a lake. To Lin Jin, it looked more like a lake.
The reason why he came here was that Lin Zao had already found out that there was a Heavenly Dao Cornerstone Fragment here, but he had not succeeded in taking the Heavenly Dao Cornerstone Fragment last time.
The reason was simple.
Just as Lin Jin stood by the lake, the calm surface of the lake began to boil like a pot of boiling water.
"Find a place to hide," Lin Jin instructed the white horse. The horse neighed and immediately galloped away obediently.
Lin Jin stretched out his hand and pulled out the Clear Wind Demon Sword from his waist. Just like that, he stood there, facing the surging waters.
In the next instant, a large creature emerged from the water. It was a three-headed flood dragon.
This flood dragon was no ordinary creature. Once it appeared, its aura was overwhelming. Just one of its teeth was bigger than Lin Jin's, but when faced with the tiny Lin Jin, its aura couldn't overwhelm him.
Over the past seven years, Lin Jin had cultivated his blood contract power to its peak, reaching the ninth realm. At the ninth realm, he could now borrow the strength of his pet beasts to strengthen himself.
Moreover, Lin Jin had three pet beasts. Hence, even though Lin Jin wasn't an immortal, he had far surpassed the so-called immortals.
When the three-headed flood dragon saw Lin Jin, all six of its eyes flashed with anger and a tinge of fear. The last time, it had to use its supernatural powers to force Lin Jin to leave. Who knew this person would show up again so soon?
The flood dragon's three heads opened at the same time, shooting out columns of water at Lin Jin. The water columns were so powerful that they sliced toward Lin Jin like water blades.
Undaunted, Lin Jin swung his sword in a backhanded slash. Sword rays surged through the air and with a loud bang, the three water columns shattered simultaneously.
Not only that, the surging Sword Energy rose against the waves, decapitating the two flood dragons on the left and right. In an instant, blood gushed out. The remaining flood dragon's eyes were filled with fear as it tried to flee.
But in the next moment, it did not dare to move. A long sword was pressed against its eyeball. Obviously, the Flood Dragon was very intelligent. It knew very well that if it made the slightest movement, the sword would pierce through its eye.
Lin Jin wielded his sword as he stepped on the waves. Water flowed continuously under his feet. He had activated the Four Seas Freedom Gourd.
"Run? I let you get away last time. Do you think I'll let you do the same thing again? " Having said that, he patted the Four Seas Freedom Gourd and a gust of cold air surged forth. Lin Jin stomped on the water beneath his feet and the water that came into contact with it rapidly froze. The cold air continued to spread along the surface of the water, freezing everything in its path. In no time at all, half of the pond was covered in ice.
The flood dragon couldn't stop trembling but Lin Jin didn't back down.
"The last time I wanted to borrow something from you, we had a good chat but you ran away without saying a word. I had to search for you so don't even think about running away this time. To put it simply, you have to give me what you want, even if you don't want to." Lin Jin was like a bandit coming down the mountain, his expression arrogant.
The flood dragon was furious, but it didn't dare to say anything.
By now, the entire lake was completely frozen and the flood dragon was trapped, unable to move.
In fact, it didn't dare to move either.
This mortal before it was too ferocious, especially that longsword in his hand. It was practically invincible. Also, this man's attacks were extremely accurate.
The place where the sword Qi had struck was actually the weakest scale of the Flood Dragon Clan.
How did this man know where this scale was?
The flood dragon couldn't figure it out.
At that moment, Lin Jin swung the sword in his hand, slicing open the flood dragon's head. Then, Lin Jin reached out and quickly retracted his sword. He retreated and leaped back, landing on the back of a large white horse a thousand feet away.
"Don't worry. You won't die even if you take this. At most, you'll just have to rest for a few more years. Don't act pitiful. Your two heads will grow back in a few days and I won't come looking for you anymore." Having said that, Lin Jin spurred his horse forward.
It was done!
Lin Jin looked at the walnut-sized fragment in his palm and smiled.
Truth be told, Lin Jin was definitely no match for this three-headed flood dragon in terms of strength. After all, it was a Rank 8 beast. However, if Lin Jin used a trick to catch it off guard and attack its weakness, he could defeat the stronger one with his strength.
Lin Jin wasn't a match for it last time, but this time, he came prepared so he had the upper hand.
The three-headed flood dragon obviously didn't know that Lin Jin had seen through its every move. It had the strength but it couldn't use it.
However, Lin Jin didn't kill it. It wasn't easy for this flood dragon to cultivate and it hadn't committed any evil deeds so Lin Jin decided to spare its life.
For the past seven years, Lin Jin had traveled all over the immortal mountain on his white horse and finally found all the scattered fragments of the Heaven's Path's foundation stone. Other than the one that belonged to the immortal devouring beast, there shouldn't be any other fragments left in the immortal mountain.
Just then, there was a sudden burst of flames in the distance. Lin Jin patted the horse's head and it obediently stopped.
Looking into the distance, the sky was already dyed red by the flames.
