Chapter 780: Lin Jin Enraged
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Inside the Unending Nature Landscape, the immortals were anxious. Before they knew it, they became reliant on Lin Jin. Since they couldn’t contact him, they could only wait.
Xuan Yue Zhenren didn’t just sit around and do nothing. Adamant on taking revenge for her junior, she tried to improve her cultivation. As the current leader of the Immortal Cloud Sect, Xuan Yue Zhenren knew some taboo arts kept by their sect. Thus, she stepped into the Storm Beast Cave alone in search of a way to strengthen herself.
The others couldn’t stop her. However, everyone knew that even if Xuan Yue Zhenren successfully broke through to the next rank, she would only be at unfettered immortal level.
That still wasn’t enough to fight Yan Shenjun.
The latter had obviously attained the powers of a saint, turning into a partial snake as a result. He could even control the ancient beast, the heaven weaving spider. For now, it seemed like he was inferior only to the immortal devouring beast.
They were only waiting for Lin Jin so he could join them in a countermeasure discussion. They weren’t actually hoping for him to fight Yan Shenjun.
Perhaps it was exactly this reason that Xuan Yue Zhenren chose to enter the Storm Beast Cave alone to assimilate their sect’s taboo arts. She clearly planned to execute revenge alone.
“Everyone, I think Yan Shenjun has a certain motive for invading the Mystery Dao Sect and Immortal Cloud Sect. He’s probably trying to lure Lin Jin out for revenge,” Inferno Monk said after consideration.
He knew Yan Shenjun fairly well and he could be described as a petty man who would seek vengeance for any tiny grudge. After suffering so much thanks to Lin Jin and Inferno Monk, almost losing even his life, Yan Shenjun’s priority now must be revenge.
So he probably targeted the Mystery Dao Sect and Immortal Cloud Sect because of Lin Jin.
“So he wants to lure Lin Jin out?” someone exclaimed.
Then, another person thought of something else. “Oh no. He’s surely furious that he didn’t find anyone. He’ll probably head to the mainland to give Jade Dragon Kingdom trouble.”
The ones who spoke were Qin Yunshang and Chen Xuankong.
They knew about the Beast Deity Cult manipulating Grassy Continent’s coalition to invade Jade Dragon Kingdom and there was no guarantee that Yan Shenjun wouldn’t do the same.
With Yan Shenjun’s current cultivation level. It wouldn’t be a challenge for him to wipe out a mortal kingdom.
“Yan Shenjun still has immortal aura so he won’t leave the extraterritorial land. He’d be pursued by the immortal devouring beast otherwise,” someone suggested, shaking his head in disagreement.
Then, someone else chirped in, “The reports say that Yan Shenjun had an ally, Patriarch Xue Pao. Don’t forget, he has a magic treasure that can conceal aura so it might have already fallen into Yan Shenjun’s hands.”
The crowd gasped at this revelation and fell silent.
If that were the case, things would be troublesome.
Because Yan Shenjun might just head over to Jade Dragon Kingdom and trash the place. Their sects could hide but how could a kingdom?
Even the Unending Nature Landscape couldn’t possibly pocket an entire country.
For a moment there, they became anxious.
Meanwhile, Lin Jin had no idea what was happening. He was in a great mood after Xiao Huo evolved and he didn’t go home. Instead, he ventured into the deepest part of the Nine-Heaven Realm with Tianzun, right into the primitive immortal mountain where the Heaven’s Foundation Stone was.
But they dared not get close. Aside from the Heaven’s Foundation Stone, this place was also the immortal devouring beast’s nest. In addition, when the immortal emperor led a massive group of immortals here two thousand years ago and they were struck down by the Heaven’s Foundation Stone, this primitive immortal mountain had since been shrouded by a chaotic thundercloud. No one could step foot inside.
If they recklessly approached, they would be struck by divine lightning and die on the spot.
Lin Jin only came here with Tianzun because Tianzun wanted to pick up a furnace he had disposed of here long ago. Now that the Heaven & Earth Furnace was destroyed due to Xiao Huo’s evolution, Tianzun needed a vessel to craft items. He had tossed one of his earlier crafted furnaces here in the first layer of heaven so he was here to take it back.
They were still quite far away from the immortal mountain, but even in this distance, they could sense the danger over there.
Lin Jin currently looked worried. But it was about something that only he knew. The reason was, after Xiao Huo advanced to Rank 8, the Museum of Deadly Beasts didn’t give him an evolution method to Rank 9.
This was a first.
In the past, the museum could appraise any beast and provide evolution methods for them. There had been no exceptions, until now, after Xiao Huo had reached Rank 8.
Lin Jin would obviously worry. Without a Rank 9 evolution method, how was Xiao Huo to evolve?
Like a player who kept winning with cheats, his bypass tool suddenly failed in the next level and stopped giving him hints.
Only Lin Jin knew how unsettling this sense of fear was.
Though, Xiao Huo was actually strong enough at Rank 8. So strong that Lin Jin figured that if they never provoked the immortal devouring beast, they could be invincible in this world, capable of solving anything.
He could live his life peacefully from now on too.
That didn’t sound so bad. Lin Jin didn’t particularly have a grudge against the immortal devouring beast so he didn’t need to fight it. Yet, it felt like he was only one step away from the finishing line. Like climbing a flight of stairs with one hundred thousand steps, one was being forced to stop at the ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth step.
He couldn’t even begin to describe how agonizing it was, being incapable of taking that last step.
Aside from agony, he also felt it was such a pity.
But after calming down and thinking it through, why must he take the last step?
It wasn’t necessary.
Why must he fight the immortal devouring beast?
Right now, if Lin Jin didn’t provoke the immortal devouring beast, the latter wouldn’t bother him either. Wasn’t it great that they could live without disturbing one another?
With this in mind, Lin Jin took a deep breath. He suddenly felt much better and more relaxed.
‘That’s right!’
He didn’t have to insist on it. He was already at the pinnacle, already invincible and free from worries. He also had many friends who would come to his aid with just a summon. Why should he ask for more?
He should relax.
Lin Jin tried brainwashing himself and it gradually worked.
By then, Tianzun had retrieved the furnace he previously disposed of. He smiled at Lin Jin, saying, “It’s done. Let’s go. We better not stay here for too long as we can’t be certain mishaps won’t happen.”
Lin Jin nodded and took out a dab of Cosmos Ink. “Tianzun, let me bring you to a nice place.”
Tianzun was the most important individual among Lin Jin’s friends. It was too risky to let him stay in the Nine-Heaven Realm especially when Lin Jin knew that he still wanted to take revenge on the immortal devouring beast.
So, for Tianzun’s safety, it was best to bring him into the Unending Nature Landscape.
Tianzun glanced at Lin Jin and understood his intention of not wanting to advance further. He shook his head and said, “It’s only a painting realm. This Unending Nature Landscape isn’t anything significant so it doesn’t matter even if we don’t go. The immortal emperor, Xuan Xuanzi, and I merely painted it for fun anyway. But it’s a surprise that it ended up in your possession.”
Lin Jin was astounded by how familiar Tianzun was with the Unending Nature Landscape. But then, he came to a realization.
“You’re Huang Longgong?”
The painting realm had three signatures, Huang Longgong, Li Jian, and Xuan Xuanzi. Lin Jin already knew that Li Jian was the immortal emperor and Xuan Xuanzi was the immortal empress. The last person, Huang Longgong, was a mystery. Now, it seemed like Huang Longgong was Tianzun after all.
Tianzun laughed and said, “I almost forgot about this mortal name.”
Lin Jin took that as an affirmation.
He wanted to say more but a silhouette barged out of the Cosmos Ink entrance he just opened up. It was Shu Xiaolou and she was anxiously tugging at him to go with her.
Lin Jin was stunned. He could tell that something urgent was going on so he didn’t ask. Tianzun was stunned too. After a thought, he entered the painting with them.
He and Lin Jin now felt like old friends and they could rely on each other. If Lin Jin ran into any trouble, Tianzun didn’t mind giving him a hand.
Soon, Lin Jin met the immortals from the Mystery Dao Sect and Immortal Cloud Sect. He also learned about Yan Shenjun.
Upon hearing that Xuan Hang was murdered by Yan Shenjun, Lin Jin’s anger flared up and he was ready to lash out!
