Chapter 1518 Growth Of The Sutras

The risks that Lin Mu had taken were still reasonable to him and had paid off in the end.

He had obtained the Violet Mystic Life Tree while also having kept his ident.i.ty hidden. Not only that, he had also sent the people of the Grand Sky Pavilion and possibly many other powers on a wild goose chase for some Demon.

'Though all this only works due to the fact that the burning heart sutra's effects are quite effective. They entirely changed my body and the growth was greater than the last time I used it in the Xiaofan world.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Lin Mu knew that the transformation was related to the Demon Path and would make use of his Great Slumber Bear Bloodline to manifest. Before he had the bloodline, it merely resulted in increased strength as well as increased muscle ma.s.s.

But now, it entirely changed his body. So much so that even people that knew him wouldn't be able to recognized him. Perhaps only Little Shrubby and the twin snakes who were directly bound to him would be able to tell.

Though Lin Mu wondered just what the extent of the transformation would be.

'It isn't just that my breakthrough to the Immortal realm had resulted in it. The progress of my body cultivation should also be an important part of it.' Lin Mu thought about it.

In the end he came to the conclusion that he needed to test out the Burning Heart Sutra more. He had not used it before since it was a bit risky to use due to him potentially losing his sense of reason, but this time around he fully felt like he was in control.

"There were no stray thoughts and my mind felt stable too. Even the anger that burns due to the properties of the Burning Heart Sutra felt containable. It didn't feel like 'true' anger." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

"Seems like the Nine Divine Heart Sutra's can change with your cultivation base. Or rather they probably expand on their properties." Xukong spoke upon seeing Lin Mu's thoughts.

"Indeed, senior." Lin Mu nodded his head.

He wondered if his other sutra's would have the same effect.

'The Calming Heart Sutra worked as intended and quickly reverted my transformation so I guess it has been strengthened equally. The same can be said for the severing heart sutra as it allowed me to focus on the creation of the Apertures too.' Lin Mu a.n.a.lyzed the changes that he had missed unknowingly.

But after thinking about them all, he realized that there was one thing that had not changed.

"The Nurturing Heart Sutra is still the same. It hasn't grown in strength or anything." Lin Mu realized.

"That's not wholly true. It can convert Immortal Qi into Beast Qi, right?" Xukong interrupted.

"It can yeah." Lin Mu nodded his head.

"That can be considered a change, too. Especially since the amount is greater as well." Xukong reminded.

"Of course" Lin Mu now understood. 'The Sutras are not all the same, thus their growth won't be equal either.' He reckoned.

After thinking all this though, another thought appeared in Lin Mu's mind.

'So far I've obtained four of the Nine Divine Heart Sutras I wonder when I'll obtain the next.' Lin Mu knew that unlocking each sutra needed a requirement to be fulfilled.

This meant that to unlock the next sutra, there was some hidden requirement that was waiting to be completed.

'Not knowing about them makes it a bit difficult though' Lin Mu knew it wasn't good to yearn for it excessively. "I'll get it when the time is right" He said to himself.

~GROWL~

Time pa.s.sed quickly as Lin Mu was thinking all this and he ended up reaching his destination, where he heard Little Shrubby's growl. He was currently in a smaller form and was the size of a normal tiger.

Lin Mu had asked him to be in this form as it wouldn't be as eye-catching as his normal form.

"There you are." Lin Mu came to a halt as Little Shrubby approached him.

"Master!" Little Shrubby was happy to See Lin Mu. "Are you okay?" he asked with concern.

Little Shrubby had not forgotten the last time when Lin Mu had used the Burning Heart Sutra and was thus worried about him.

"I'm fine. You don't need to worry." Lin Mu replied. "And what about you? Did anything happen?" He asked,

"I feel like something is attached to me, some kind of energy." Little Shrubby replied.

"Oh?" Lin Mu spread his Immortal Sense over Little Shrubby and checked him in detail.

The first thing he detected were the twins, who were wrapped around Little Shrubby and were hidden in his thick fur.

"Come here, you two." Lin Mu called the twins.

~hiss~ hiss~

Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang rose up from Little Shrubby's fur and coiled up around Lin Mu's arms again. It was clear that the two were in no mood to sleep now and were full of energy.

'Hmm Looks like little Shrubby is right.' Lin Mu could sense the faint imprint of some kind on him.

"It should be a tracking seal." Xukong spoke.

"How do I get rid of it?" Lin Mu didn't know.

"For a seal of this kind, it'll dissipate automatically after a while. But you can speed it up by breaking the connection between the tool it was cast." Xukong replied.

"Breaking the connection? Letting Little Shrubby return to the Sleepscape should work then." Lin Mu guessed and sent him back.

~shua~

Little Shrubby disappeared for a few seconds and returned.

Lin Mu checked him again and saw that the trace had disappeared. "It worked, perfect!" He was pleased.

Lin Mu checked the twins and saw that they had the tracking seal too. He repeated the same with them and let the trace be erased in Sleepscape. Since he didn't have to send them to the Sleepscape for that long, the twins weren't bothered by the separation.
