Chapter 1394: The Saintess' Curiosity

It didn't matter if they were a commoner or even a prince of the empires. All of them would be desirous of such an offer. After all, entering the Immortal Court was the greatest honor and opportunity that one could get in the Rust Sky World.      

Even the Emperors and kings of the Rust Sky world might not get the chance easily.      

The cultivation environment in the Immortal Court could be considered the best in the entire immortal realm which covered millions upon tens of millions of worlds.     

There were barely any sects and powers who could offer the same kind of cultivation environment since the Immortal court was in charge of running the entire Immortal world. There was a delicate balance that could only be maintained by them.     

But the saintess didn't think that Lin Mu would truly reject it.      New chapters are published on Noᴠel Fɪre.net - ɴovᴇlbin

"So you do have a master… I see, it does make sense since coming this far along without one would be quite difficult. Especially considering your age, you mustn't be older than two hundred." The Saintess replied.     

"Um, yes." Lin Mu just nodded his head.     

He didn't want to fully reveal his age as that might lead to an entirely different stream of conversation. Besides, he wasn't exactly lying either. He truly wasn't older than 200 years.     

~sigh~     

"Well that's fine. If you desire to enter the Immoral court in the future, I think you'll still have a good chance. They regularly recruit prodigies from all over the Immortal realm." The Saintess stated.     

"I'll take that chance when I get it. But for now I have a few goals I need to fulfill." Lin Mu replied whit gratitude.     

Hearing this the saintess was a bit intrigued.      

'He has a great determination… and a desire, a quite intense one.' The Saintess could sense the hidden emotions from Lin Mu.      

The more she focused, the more she could sense it. At a certain point, she could almost see a flaming presence filling Lin Mu's heart. It was hidden very well and most people would never be able to see it at all.     

'Such a great burning desire… highly unusual. This only arises in someone if they have been greatly wronged or have vengeance to exact…' The saintess thought to herself.     

She didn't know why he was carrying such emotions but it wasn't exactly rare either. In the cultivation worlds, killing was common and thus there were almost people who were searching for revenge.      

"Since your on the ship as well, you must be heading to the Huiqing continent?" The Saintess decided to change the topic for now.     

"Yes. It is my first stop." Lin Mu replied.     

"Oh? What do you desire there? Doesn't seem like your final goal is there for sure." The Saintess guessed.     

"You are right. I need to take the Teleportation Array from there to the Holy Topaz continent. Though I also want to visit the temple of the Four Guardians beasts in the Huiqing continent." Lin Mu revealed his intentions.     

He didn't think these were anything sensitive as many others would visit the temples of the Four Guardian beasts.     

"Oh? Do you wish to participate in the Tournament?" The Saintess questioned.     

"A tournament?" Lin Mu didn't know about this. "What kind?" he asked.     

"The tournament organized by the Temple of the Four Guardian Beasts. The winners are offered several kinds of rewards." The Saintess answered.     

"I didn't know this. But I might try… if I get the chance. When exactly is it?" Lin Mu asked.         

"From what I've heard its next year. So in about, eight more months." The Saintess replied.     

"Eight months, hmm… I don't know if I'll have the chance then. I might be busy with other work." Lin Mu stated.     

"I see, do try it though. With your talent you might be able to enter the temple and gain an audience with the Four Guardian Beast Spirits. They have quite a lot of rewards to offer." The Saintess advised.     

"Thank you for your advice." Lin Mu took note of all this.      

After all, he had originally intented to head there, but it was not the first priority. His first priority was to resolve the burning desire he would feel. Until it was gone, it could be dangerous to lose track of things.     

~HUM~     

And just as he was thinking of this, Lin Mu felt it flare up.     

'Dammit! Not now.' Lin Mu gritted his teeth.      

He clenched his fists as a golden shine appeared on his body for a moment. At the same time, he chanted the Calming Heart sutra so as to suppress the desire.      

But this brief moment was enough for the Saintess to see it all. She saw the golden shine that covered Lin Mu's body as well as the sudden rise in vitality.     

"Oh? You're a body cultivator too?" The Saintess was surprised once more. 'That too at a decent level…' She saw.     

Lin Mu had managed to calm down by now and simply nodded his head. "I am indeed one. I am also seeking for body cultivation resources." He justified.     

"That does make sense, they are harder to find." The Saintess replied, her interest in Lin Mu rising again.     

'I'll just take a quick look… it should be enough.' She thought, unable to contain her curiosity.     

She gazed at Lin Mu from under her veil and narrowed her eyes. Then in an instant, her eyes changed into green while snake like slit pupils appeared!     

As soon as she did that, Lin Mu felt a chilling feeling covering him. It was like he was frozen solid.     

'What's this feeling… as if some great beast is staring at me…' Lin Mu felt baffled as cold sweat appeared on his back.     

"Mmmm? Even for a Celestial aren't you being a little too overbearing… Little girl." A cold voice filled with immense power was heard by the saintess.     

"This… Divine Transmission?" Now it was the Saintess's turn to shiver.
