Chapter 2028  Clues From The Saintess

Xukong's suggestion was the option that Lin Mu had thought about taking before too.

The Saintess seemed to be updated on recent matters of the world, and was more likely to know what the symbol was.

"Hmm, yeah. The Saintess probably knows." Lin Mu replied.

"Her sect… Has an extensive react in the information and intelligence department." Xukong suddenly said. "Has she told you about that yet?" he asked.

"No. While she's said a few things about the Serpent Moon Sect, she hasn't gone into details." Lin Mu shook his head. "But then again, it isn't exactly something one would speak about easily." He added.

"That's true." Xukong replied. "But yes, she should probably know more, or at least be able to find out about it through her connections." He explained.

"I see…" Lin Mu responded, while a few thoughts appeared in his mind. "Say Senior… Do you know more about the Serpent Moon Sect?" he inquired, feeling curious.

"You could say that… I've known about the sect since before it was created." Xukong answered.

"That far?" Lin Mu was surprised. 'I could tell the Serpent Moon Sect was old, but Senior Xukong knew about it before it was created too…' He couldn't help but be amazed

"Or more accurately, I know the founder." Xukong revealed.

"The founder, is not the Saintess?" Lin Mu questioned.

"You probably should not say that in front of her." Xukong replied inside. "She might be old, but she's not that old." He added.

"I… didn't mean that." Lin Mu said, feeling a bit flustered. "The founder of the Serpent Moon Sect is someone, that is… or was… A being at the same level as me." Xukong revealed stunning Lin Mu.

"WHAT!?" Lin Mu couldn't believe his ears at the shocking information.

"Yes… We were once acquaintances." Xukong added with a hint of melancholy in his voice. Lin Mu didn't know how it was, but he could at least tell that the relationship between Xukong and the Founder of the Serpent Moon Sect was closer than he was telling.

"You said once… What happened to the Founder?" Lin Mu questioned.

"I do not know… but for beings like us, if there is no sign… It usually means they perished." Xukong answered.

"Perished… so they no longer exist." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

The two didn't speak for a few minutes, reminiscing over old memories while Lin Mu went over the information.

"Anyway, this is all I can tell you about that symbol. You'll need to speak with the Saintess to know more." Xukong stated at the end.

"Very well, Senior." Lin Mu replied, opening his eyes.

~huu~

Taking a deep breath, he stood up and left the bedroom.

The Saintess was still sitting outside and had her eyes closed. Lin Mu couldn't see that due to the veil, but over time he had managed to figure that out without even needing to.

Having spent enough time with the Saintess, he could guess what her expression was just from a vague feeling he got from her.

"Saintess," Lin Mu said, lightly making her open her eyes and look at him.

"What is it?" She asked.

"I have something to talk to you about," Lin Mu replied before taking out a jade slip.

"Mm?" The Saintess watched as Lin Mu fiddled with the Jade Slip and injected some information into it.

~SHUA~

Then thirty seconds later, a formation screen appeared above it showing a particular symbol.

It was that of a polyhedral gemstone that had two curved horns attached to it. The Saintess looked at it closely and narrowed her eyes.

"I wanted to ask… Have you seen this symbol before?" Lin Mu asked.

"How do you know about this?" Instead of answering him directly though, the Saintess threw a question back.

"I saw it… In my dream." Lin Mu answered.

The Saintess listened to him carefully, finding it to be the truth. "A dream… You saw the Crest of the Virtuous Calamity Daoist in your dreams?" The Saintess replied, showing that she knew about it.

"Virtuous Calamity Daoist? It belongs to a person!?" Lin Mu was surprised.

"Yes, it is a person. But it is more concerning that you saw it in your dreams." The Saintess replied. "Why is that?" She inquired.

"Well… it is related to something I need to find," Lin Mu said, not knowing how to exactly talk about the ring. "Is it related to your 'legacy'?" She asked, guessing somewhat.

"…You could say that." Lin Mu decided to go along with it.

While it was not accurate, it wasn't exactly wrong either. The rings did seem like some kind of legacy, though he didn't know what they were yet. As such, it wasn't totally wrong.

"I had a dream about where the next part of it is." Lin Mu revealed.

"Hmm… So it is a legacy split into multiple parts… How many do you have right now?" The Saintess replied.

"Two." Lin Mu answered.

"And did you get clues to them in your dreams before, too?" She asked, wanting to confirm.

"Yes, I did." Lin Mu nodded his head. "The first time I did, it was very vague and I didn't even remember it. But later on they got stronger, and I felt an innate urge to find it." He explained.

"That sounds about right… A prophetic legacy dream then." The Saintess seemed to know more about it. "But it doesn't fully make sense for it to be in your dreams." She added. New chaptᴇrs are published on novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

"It is not possible for you to have seen the Crest of the Virtuous Calamity Daoist." The Saintess said with some hesitation.

"Why's that?" Lin Mu questioned, finding the tone of the Saintess a bit strange.

"That's because the Virtuous Calamity Daoist doesn't exist anymore." The Saintess answered, surprising Lin Mu. "He died under the onslaught of his enemies a hundred thousand years ago." "What?" Lin Mu said with surprise. "But I'm sure the dream is accurate. Doesn't that mean…"

"Either the Virtuous Calamity Daoist is alive or… Someone has his belongings."
