Walker Of The Worlds

The Great Slumber Bear was a beast that even the Saintess knew about.

While they were rare, their strength and abilities were quite famous in the higher circles. At the same time, there were no lack of people that coveted it. But alas, for them the bloodline of the Great Slumber had a hidden danger that would kill them.

Before Lin Mu, there was none that had manged to survive the long slumber that the bloodline would put them into. They might survive it once, twice or even thrice. But after a few tries, they would eventually die from starvation.

If it were not for the Nameless Technique of the Lost Immortal, Lin Mu would have ended up in the same state.

This was also why the Saintess was astonished.

“You managed to overcome the deep slumber?” The Saintess asked.

“Several times… it was difficult. But it gets better the more times you go through it.” Lin Mu replied but didn’t help the Saintess much.

“Still… there have been several people who assimilated the Great Slumber Bear bloodline and even went through multiple of its deep slumbers. But all of them fell.” The Saintess stated. “You might end up in the same state, if you keep this bloodline within you.” She warned.

A hint of concern could be heard in her voice too.

“If you wish to, I have methods to purge bloodlines. You can switch to a different beast bloodline too, if you wish too. My Serpent Moon sect have a plethora of them at the same level or higher, and many of our disciples have assimilated beast bloodlines as well.” The Saintess offered much to Lin Mu’s surprise.

He didn’t expect the Saintess to offer something like this, not to mention offering other bloodlines that were equivalent or stronger.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath, before shaking his head.

“Thank you for the offer, Saintess. But I do not need it.” Lin Mu replied. “The bloodline of the Great Slumber Bear fits me well, and I can compensate for its shortfalls with several other skills.”

“Besides… if not for the bloodline, I might not have progressed to my current level.” Lin Mu added.

The Saintess was a little surprised, but then it occurred to her. ‘No wonder he can be ‘his’ disciple. Perhaps this is the level of dedication and talent that is needed for that.’

‘Though… if he has his master looking over him, there shouldn’t be an issue. He’s a lot more qualified than me too…’ The Saintess thought.

She looked at Lin Mu, finding him to be fully stable and understood that it really was as he said.

“Very well. Though if you wish for other bloodlines, my offer will still stand.” The Saintess replied.

“Thank you Saintess.” Lin Mu said before he had a curious thought. “About your sect… are there really that many people with beast bloodlines?” he asked.

“Of course. My Serpent Moon Sect has a long legacy and accepted disciple from all backgrounds and races.” The Saintess replied with a hint of pride.

“All backgrounds and races?” Lin Mu raised a brow. “You mean there are races other than humans?”

“Of course. There are humans, beasts, demons, demon beasts, beastkins, as the major races and several more minor races mixed in.” The Saintess answered.

Hearing this, Lin Mu was surprised. He did know about the existence of cultivation sects run by many races, but they usually catered to their own race. Even for orthodox sects that allowed more races, these were usually of a similar kind and weren’t more than a handful.

It was unexpected to see a sect that allowed several races like this. What was even more surprising was the fact that, since it was a sect, these races were clearly living in a state of harmony.

After all, with so many races like this, there was often a clash of ideas and thoughts.

For a sect to keep all of them in control showed just how influential they would have to be.

“That’s amazing… I didn’t think something like that could exist.” Lin Mu muttered.

“There are a lot many things that you will see in the myriad of worlds. The Serpent Moon sect is merely one of the many participants.” The Saintess replied, with a hint of amusement in her voice.

She could tell that Lin Mu had gained more interest in her sect from her words.

“We have many aspects of cultivation that we cover in our sect which allows our disciples to always have something to that interests them. After all, even if they are of different races, they can still have common interest and learn from each other over it.” The Saintess explained a bit more. “For this very reason, we have the sect divided into different peaks and sections. They cover all the occupations like beast taming, weapon forging, tool refinement, alchemy and a lot more.”

“Beast Taming? You have a peak dedicated to beast taming?” Lin Mu asked with greater interest than before.

“Of course. The Serpent Moon Sect has a deep legacy of beasts. And thus our beast taming peak is one of the top three peaks. Most of our disciples have their tamed beasts, and sometimes, these tamed beasts are also disciples of the sect themselves.

When it’s a case like this, we call them companion beasts instead.” The Saintess answered, satisfying Lin Mu.

She could tell that Lin Mu had an interest in beast taming from this, if she didn’t already know that he had talent from it.

‘If he could hatch the Yin Yang Twin Serpents and even tame them, his talent in Beast Taming must be comparable to the Peak master.’ The Saintess thought to herself.

“A companion beast… that sounds nice. Just like little Shrubby and me…” Lin Mu said with a smile.

“Little Shrubby?” The Saintess raised a brow.

“Ah, I forgot to tell you.” Lin Mu realized Little Shrubby was still waiting in the Sleepscape. “I have another tamed beast… my first tamed beast.” He revealed.
