Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Chapter 669 - A Compiled Report

With Mu Niu’s breakthrough, Lin Mu was assured that the Mu clan would be fine for the time being, even if he was not there. While Nascent soul realm cultivators were what Gu Yao had many, it was still not possible for him to just send any random one to target someone.

Especially in areas that were not fully under his control. If he did so carelessly, he would only invite the ire and attention of the ruling power of that region, which might spiral out into him getting revealed to the world.

After all, one must remember that even after the blood tide happened and he put the blame on Lin Mu the one who got the fame of repelling the blood tide was Wu Xun. Even then, Gu Yao did not want to reveal himself to the world and wanted to stay hidden.

Silently gaining power while controlling the great powers of the world, such was his plan. The emperor of the Great Zhou Empire was already sick and the court officials were now starting to get worried about it.

The emperor himself was a cultivator and was at the Nascent Soul realm, but despite this he had become sick. This troubled the official to no end, as an illness capable of making someone of this level sick wasn’t something easily dealt with.

While the royal physicians were doing their best in finding a cure to this, the official had already been deliberating on other options. The Empress though, has been prodding the officials to ask the Rainbow pill sect for their help.

If there was a sect that was said to be the top in alchemical pills in this world, then it was none other than the Rainbow pill sect. The only reason why they were not the overall top sect in the world was that they focused more on the field of alchemy and pill refinement.

The Sky Precepts sect stayed at the top because they were a relatively balanced sect and dabbled in everything while still managing to stay at the top. They also had a deep background and had plenty of resources left by their ancestors to tide them through centuries and centuries of time.

The Centennial sword sect, on the other hand, was highly focused on increasing their own personal power and relied on the sword arts to do so. It was said that the patriarch of the centennial sword sect was strong enough to fight multiple Dao Treading realm experts on his own.

The fourth sect in the rankings was the Zither wind sect, which had risen to this position due to the alliance that they had formed. While on the surface the alliance was supposed to be an equal share of power, the Zither wind sect being the first, had evidently given him a lot of benefits.

Below them at the fifth position, was none other than the Long Cloud sect, which was the creator of the Long cloud alliance. They were opposed to the Zither wind alliance and had joined up with the sixth and seventh ranked sects to form the Long cloud alliance.

It was only the tenth ranked sect which was now not in an alliance and was also independent, like the top three sects. They were fiercely competing to pull the tenth ranked sect, which was called as the Noon Grass Sect.

The Noon Grass Sect was perhaps the most low key sect of all top sects and was only in the top ten because they were old. People didn’t know whether to call them lucky that their sect managed to survive for thousands of years or unlucky that they never managed one of their cultivators to break through to the Immortal Ascension stage.

It was even said that the Noon Grass was of the same seniority as that of the top three sects. But overall, their disciples just stayed average and never rose to become anything impressive in the cultivation world.

Currently, they were holding their position because of their Dao Treading realm patriarch, who was the only Dao Treading realm expert in their sect. People often wondered if they didn’t manage to produce another Dao Treading realm expert will they fall from the top sects or not.

It had already been more than two thousand years since the patriarch of the Noon Grass Sect had reached his position. While his exact age was not known, he was said to be close to the end of his lifespan now.

This was the entire report that had been compiled by Jingming Shang and Miss Fen after collecting the information from their links.

Lin Mu had been reading it all day and had gathered these important points from this. And the reason why he had asked them to compile this was to see if they could pick allies from these powers.

With the current power they had, it would be impossible for them to resist Gu Yao for long.

"What do you think?" Lin Mu questioned the man sitting to his right.

"Hmm... the Long cloud alliance seems like the obvious choice since they are in direct opposition to the Zither Wind alliance. Any of the top three sects would be the best choice, but they are far too conceited to even believe the Gu clan can make a return and the Northern Tribes infiltration." Jing Luo answered.

"Indeed... plus, I am currently wanted by the top sects. While they might not recognize me at this moment, they definitely will once we actually go to them for the alliance proposal." Lin Mu replied.

Jing Luo was deep in thought after hearing this and wondered what might be the more reasonable choice.

"The top sects can be convinced, but to convince them it would need someone that can match their level and talk to them at the same strength." Jing Luo spoke after thinking for a bit.

"Indeed. If only we could get your grandfather to come out, all of it would work." Lin Mu spoke.
