It didn’t take many people to explain the situation to Lin Jin. In the meantime, many people noticed Tianzun who had been standing beside, listening. Tianzun was dressed casually, looking like an ordinary fisherman. And since he had converted back to being a mortal, he didn’t exude any immortal aura.
The immortals present, be it from the Mystery Dao Sect or the Immortal Cloud Sect, rarely got to meet a high immortal official like Tianzun. So for a moment there, they couldn’t recognize him.
Yet, they found him strangely familiar. Even more so the more they stared at him.
“Master, look at that old man standing beside Appraiser Lin. He’s dressed casually but has a unique aura. He also looks very familiar the more I look at him,” Chen Xuankong whispered to Miao Yan Zhenren.
The latter nodded in agreement. “I noticed too. He does indeed look very familiar.”
Miao Yan Zhenren’s brows furrowed tight. The man’s name was at the tip of his tongue but he just couldn’t put a finger on it, and that agonized him.
Just then an immortal suddenly spoke up, “Master, Seniors, this old man looks a lot like Tianzun from the books I’ve read on Taoism.”
Tianzun?
The immortals gasped, thinking it was impossible.
Tianzun was a prestigious figure. Being the ancestor of immortal cultivation itself, it was said that Tianzun’s capabilities exceeded even that of the immortal emperor. The books Tianzun authored were even passed down through generations until they became classics. No matter which immortal sect, aside from worshiping their own grandmasters, they also had to worship Tianzun. And the latter was to be worshiped first.
In other words, everyone recognized Tianzun as the founder of immortality.
Thus, they refused to believe that such a legendary figure would be right here.
Yet, the more they looked, the more he resembled Tianzun, so the immortals didn’t know what to do.
And since they didn’t know, they would ask.
This idea was appropriate in any situation after all.
Miao Yan Zhenren courteously saluted as he asked, “Sir, may I know your name?”
Tianzun was stunned. Perhaps even he didn’t expect that he couldn’t be recognized. But then he thought it made sense because those who weren’t officials of the immortal dynasty or well-known immortals rarely got to meet him. So it was natural for them not to recognize him.
“My common name is Huang Longgong!” Tianzun didn’t put on airs. He was a carefree man and never concerned himself with vanity.
Right now, he just wanted to see who could change the present world. In Tianzun’s opinion, he couldn’t do it. After all, this required a certain amount of luck and Tianzun didn’t think he had much of it.
This luck was existent on Lin Jin so that’s why he tagged along. He wanted to see what Lin Jin would do next. How he would change himself and change the world.
Tianzun had answered truthfully but the name ‘Huang Longgong’ struck Miao Yan Zhenren like a bolt from the blue. His eyes widened and his hands began to tremble. He quickly regained his senses to step back and bowed low.
“Miao Yan, leader of the Mystery Dao Sect, pays his greetings to Tianzun!” he greeted respectfully.
Miao Yan Zhenren wouldn’t even be this respectful toward the immortal emperor. It was mainly because Tianzun’s status was too distinguished and Miao Yan worshiped him a lot.
Miao Yan Zhenren could hardly contain himself and there were no words to describe his excitement from meeting Tianzun.
Upon hearing Miao Yan Zhenren’s greeting, the immortals were shocked and they scurried forward to bow. For a moment there, all the immortals were paying their respects.
Who would have guessed that the old man who entered this painting realm with Lin Jin was the ancestor of immortal cultivation. With this, they now saw Lin Jin in a different light.
But Lin Jin didn’t have the mind to pay this sort of thing any attention now.
He was inquiring about Yan Shenjun’s whereabouts darkly as he wanted to initiate an attack. To think Yan Shenjun survived and even tried to give the Immortal Cloud Sect and Mystery Dao Sect trouble. He even killed Xuan Hang.
Yan Shenjun was clearly targeting him.
After all, Xuan Hang had no grudge against the man so Yan Shenjun had no reason to attack him. It could only mean that Yan Shenjun was carrying out a massacre because of Lin Jin’s close relationship with the Immortal Cloud Sect.
Lin Jin also learned of Yan Shenjun’s abnormal strength from Xuan Yue Zhenren. The man had now exceeded unfettered immortal level and he could even control the heaven weaving spider. At the present stage, he was almost invincible.
The immortals previously only wanted to discuss countermeasures with Lin Jin and not rely on him to defeat Yan Shenjun. But now, things were different.
In the immortals’ opinion, Lin Jin surely wasn’t strong enough. But things were different with Tianzun around.
Holding a prominent status and was even the founder of immortal cultivation, Tianzun’s cultivation level had long exceeded unfettered immortal realm. He was the number one immortal so if he took matters into his own hands, Yan Shenjun wouldn’t be a problem.
Everyone placed their hopes on Tianzun.
Yet, Tianzun shook his head.
“You’re all mistaken. I am only a mortal now, so forget unfettered immortals, I can’t even fight profound immortals. Also, I’m too old so there are many things I can’t do even if I want to. It’s best that you rely on someone else.” As he said the words ‘rely on someone else’, TIanzun was looking at Lin Jin. His hint was too obvious to ignore.
The immortals felt conflicted, not knowing if Tianzun was being humble, serious, or just joking.
But they didn’t have to request Lin Jin’s help because Lin Jin surely wouldn’t turn a blind eye to this.
Lin Jin had just learned that Yan Shenjun was still in the extraterritorial land. Logically speaking, it was best to wait for Yan Shenjun to leave the extraterritorial land before taking action.
He would have a greater advantage that way as Yan Shenjun could only move inside the black clouds. He wouldn’t dare to come outside or the immortal devouring beast would attack him.
Lin Jin also learned about Patriarch Xue Pao being in cahoots with Yan Shenjun so he was sure that Yan Shenjun would use Patriarch Xue Pao’s Hell’s Cage to leave the extraterritorial land and wreak havoc in the mainland.
But Lin Jin didn’t feel like waiting.
Yan Shenjun may have the aura of a saint and could control the heaven weaving spider, but so what?
Lin Jin wasn’t exactly weak either. Also, he couldn’t afford to wait. Yan Shenjun might already be heading for the mainland with Jade Dragon Kingdom being his target.
So Lin Jin had to show himself no matter what.
That being the case, rather than being forced out, it was better to take the initiative.
“Young friend, if you’re going, I’d like to come with you. I’m rather familiar with the saint’s heaven weaving spider so I might be able to persuade it to come back,” Tianzun said.
Lin Jin’s eyes lit up.
If Tianzun was coming too, he would be more confident.
“I will be troubling you then, Tianzun,” Lin Jin said with a smile.
Tianzun nodded. “Let’s go!”
Lin Jin wasted no time in getting Shu Xiaolou to open a Divine Cloud Passage for him and Tianzun to pass through. The other immortals joined them, especially Xuan Yue Zhenren. She had to join in this revenge operation. She already knew about Xuan Hang’s feelings for her and she would never forget the final image of him the instant he teleported her away.
At that moment, the usually gentle and calm Xuan Yue Zhenren was filled with the intent to kill.
