Chapter 639: Inside the Mystery Dao Sect

As sect leader, Miao Yan Zhenren would surely welcome their guest personally if Curator was visiting. Since it was only Curator’s disciple, it would be more appropriate to send Chen Xuankong instead. It was still respectful for him to do so.

Chen Xuankong accepted the order and led two other disciples to the gates at once.

The three of them waited in silence, until moments later, they saw a cloud floating in their direction. As it got nearer, they finally saw that it was Chen Xuankong’s juniors.

Chen Xuankong straightened up and hurried forward.

‘Since when did Junior Xuanji become so adept at cloud manipulation?’ wondered Chen Xuankong. This was because the cloud was larger than usual, allowing them to ferry multiple individuals. Besides the junior disciples from their sect, there were two other people – a giant spirit, and an even larger bear.

To carry a creature that was the size of a hill wasn’t something your ordinary immortal can pull off.

This was what baffled Chen Xuankong.

The next instant, Chen Xuankong realized that it wasn’t Junior Xuanji who was controlling the cloud. Instead, it was the young man who stood in the corner.

This man gave off an unusual aura. A sword and a gourd hung from his waist, and ribbons of cloud wrapped around his ankles as he skillfully maneuvered the cloud through the air.

Chen Xuankong knew instantly that he was Curator’s disciple, Lin Jin.

The aura they exuded was similar. Too similar.

Although they were still a distance away, he could already tell that much. The cloud descended and the immortals disembarked. This being their first time here, so Zuo Men and Huang Shi Sanren looked around curiously. Even Dopey Bear was stared at its surroundings keenly. After all, compared to the other areas shrouded in miasma, this place was protected by a unique formation, which kept the space beautiful and clean. This was what set apart Mystery Dao Sect from its inferior counterparts.

“Senior Xuankong.” Liu Xuanji hurried forward to briefly explain the situation. Chen Xuankong saluted Lin Jin and said, “I am Chen Xuankong of the Mystery Dao Sect. Nice to meet you, Taoist Lin.”

While he spoke, he kept his eyes glued onto Lin Jin. What surprised Chen Xuankong was the fact that he failed to detect a single hint of immortal aura from Lin Jin.

It felt like he was just a mortal cultivator.

It was just as Curator mentioned, his disciple was only a mortal.

Problem was, could mortals be so adept at controlling clouds?

On second thought, Chen Xuankong realized something. Everything was possible when one had Curator as their master. After all, Qin Yunshang and even the Immortal Cloud Sect’s Xuan Yue Zhenren said that the Visitation Hall’s door produced an overbearing heavenly aura when it appeared out of nowhere.

Since ancient times, only unfettered immortals could catch glimpses of heavenly aura.

For this reason, both their sects were certain that the mysterious Curator had the cultivation level of an unfettered immortal.

Lin Jin returned his greeting just as courteously. He had come to the Mystery Dao Sect earlier than expected. According to his original plan, he intended to search the extraterritorial land for the nine sun quartz before visiting them.

Since he came across members of the Mystery Dao Sect, he figured it wouldn’t hurt to switch up his plan. Chen Xuankong might not know where a nine sun quartz could be found, but the others might.

Even if they didn’t have one, any bit of information was valuable to Lin Jin.

Moreover, Chen Xuankong did express to Curator his wish to cure one of their sect’s immortal beasts. That could be done while Lin Jin was here.

They exchanged brief pleasantries before Chen Xuankong led Lin Jin into the Mystery Dao Sect.

To be honest, forget Zuo Men and Huang Shi Sanren’s curiosity, it was also Lin Jin’s first time stepping into a real immortal sect and witnessing everything inside.

The Mystery Dao Sect had several buildings. The pavilions and towers all hovered in the air, which made them appear all the more mysterious.

Lin Jin figured that a formation must be the reason behind this phenomenon. If that wasn’t the case, then it might be the work of a secret mechanism. Apart from that,, the Mystery Dao Sect was packed with beasts who possessed high spiritual intelligence.

For instance, he was impressed by the fish in their pond, as they were all Rank 4. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that any of these fishes could easily conquer a small country back in the mainlands. Even most of the intermediate countries’ guardian beasts would find it a challenge to defeat a random fish from the pond.

Lin Jin noticed a building in the distance that was crawling along slowly. Chen Xuankong told him it was called the ‘Moving Library’. The disciples of their sect were allowed to borrow books whenever they wanted to.

Beneath the Moving Library was a gigantic tortoise; it was hauling around the massive library.

Such a bizarre scene would have startled those from the mainlands, but here in the Mystery Dao Sect, this was nothing worth mentioning.

‘A Rank 6 immortal beast.’ Lin Jin touched the tortoise when he passed it and he instantly learned of the creature’s rank.

As expected of an orthodox sect. They had so many resources that they could afford having a Rank 6 immortal beast carry their library everywhere.

In a sense, this gave Lin Jin a clue on how strong the Black Mountain Honey Badger was. The fact that it was able to force the sect into a grinding half proved just how strong it was.

The honey badger was Rank 7.

While there was only one level’s difference between Rank 6 and 7, the actual leap in strength was massive.

The visitors found the sect to be stunningly beautiful as they were led through its compound. The group eventually arrived at Xuan Heng Hall.

Staring up at the humongous hall floating in the air, Lin Jin was astonished. Stairs spiraled down from above, and each step was suspended in the air. The old pine trees and cypress trees either stood on floating rocks, or they grew upward from the ground. It made the view incredibly tranquil.

Before the floating hall stood an old immortal with a welcoming smile.

Just one glance and Lin Jin could tell how powerful this old immortal was. His strength exceeded Lin Jin’s and every other immortal he had ever met.

‘A profound immortal!’ Lin Jin thought.

Chen Xuankong mentioned that their sect’s profound immortal was Miao Yan Zhenren. If Lin Jin guessed it right, this esteemed individual must be him. Lin Jin also remembered during his fight with Patriarch Xue Pao, his enemy once impersonated the disciple of the Mystery Dao Sect. When that happened, he claimed to be a disciple of Miao Yan Zhenren as he tried to build a connection with Lin Jin. It appears that Patriarch Xue Pao did know a thing or two about the Mystery Dao Sect. Otherwise, how could he have heard about Miao Yan Zhenren?

Of course, Patriarch Xue Pao probably heard only rumors of him; most of the things he said were probably lies. Now that Lin Jin was here, he could just clarify this matter with Miao Yan Zhenren later.

If it was true, Miao Yan Zhenren had made a mistake since Patriarch Xue Pao was running rampant in the mainlands.. If anyone were to pursue the matter, Miao Yan Zhenren was the one to be blamed.
