Chapter 991 - Towards The Northern Lands And A Short Visit To The Light Harmony Sect

Lin Mu and Jing Luo were on their way to the Northern Lands right now.

"It feels surreal returning after all these years." Jing Luo muttered.

"Indeed even though it's been far less time for me, it still feels so long." Lin Mu replied.

Both Lin Mu and Jing Luo hadn't been to the Northern Lands for a while. Lin Mu's home was in the Shuang Qian Kingdom while Jing Luo's didn't exist anymore. Still, the only thing for Jing Clan that was still there was their ancestral land that was located in the Black Dawn Kingdom or the edge of it.

They had started their journey from the Long Cloud sect and had now entered the Kong plane.

Coming to stand in front of the different teleportation gates, Lin Mu gazed at them.

"So then which one should we take?" Lin Mu asked.

"Patriarch Mingliang recommended we go through the one in his sect. It is the closest location to the Shuang Qian kingdom and we will already be in the Northern Lands that way. You might even be able to contact Little Shrubby right away." Jing Luo replied.

"Hmm that does seem like the best option. We shall take that then." Lin Mu agreed.

He activated the teleportation gate and saw as the runes came to life. A portal opened between the two pillars and swirled nonstop.

"Let's go." Lin Mu said as he stepped into the portal.

Jing Luo followed behind him and their vision darkened for a few seconds before it finally returned.

~SHUA~

Stepping out of the portal, Lin Mu looked at the old elders standing in wait for him.

"Greetings, Alliance Leader Lin Mu; Elder Jing Luo." The elders greeted with cupped hands.

Lin Mu didn't know who these elders were as he had never met them before, but from their Nascent soul realm cultivation base, he could tell that they were junior elders. Which made sense why he didn't know them.

All the Senior and High elders had met with Lin Mu before at the Long Cloud sect as they needed to take the oath in person.

"Greetings." Lin Mu responded as well.

"Patriarch informed us of your arrival and told us to prepare somethings." The old elders said before one of them took out a storage bag.

"Please take this. It may come in handy on your journey." The elder handing the storage bag spoke.

Lin Mu took the bag and asked, "what's this?"

He peered into the storage bag, finding a few things inside.

"There are two identity tokens inside it. They shouldn't be needed, but in case something happens, you can use them. We know that your identity is sensitive and is best kept hidden. This will instead show your affiliation as an elder of the Light Harmony sect.

You won't come across any trouble this way though considering your standing, I believe that might not be a problem either way." The elder spoke.

Both Lin Mu and Jing Luo were in the Dao Shell realm and there would be very few people left on the continent that would be able to create trouble for them.

"It is better to be prudent. These tokens will be good to have, just in case." Lin Mu agreed.

"There is also an updated map and a few more informative records along with that, which may come in handy." Another elder added.

"That'll definitely be useful." Jing Luo stated.

Having taken them, Lin Mu bid his farewell to the elders.

"We shall take our leave then, elders." Lin Mu spoke.

"We wish you success in your endeavor, Alliance Leader Lin Mu." The elder said while bowing their heads.

Lin Mu gave them a gentle nod and left the hall. Appearing outside, he saw that he was actually in a large pagoda, and the hall was merely a small part of it. They continued onwards and left the pagoda, finally appearing in the actual Light Harmony sect.

"So this is what the Light Harmony Sect is like huh" Lin Mu muttered as he saw the stunning scene.

There were pagodas everywhere in the sect and long stacks of colorful smoke could be seen rising from multiple locations. The aroma of spirit herbs could be smelled from a long distance, and the crackling of pills could even be heard.

"This is truly a sect that specializes in alchemcial pills, alright." Jing Luo commented.

"Have you been here before?" Lin Mu asked.

"Not really. Never had the chance before." Jing Luo replied.

"I see well, that's another thing of the list then." Lin Mu spoke.

"Though I've been to the Eastern Ming Dynasty before." Jing Luo added.

"Oh? Really?" Lin Mu replied.

"Yes. It is really a beautiful place. Wait till you leave the Light Harmony sect's borders, the rest of the kingdom is no less beautiful." Jing Luo said, inciting Lin Mu's curiosity.

"Well then, no use waiting." Lin Mu said before he flew up.

~shua~

Jing Luo followed behind him, and the two of them soared across the sky. Normally, something like this would be considered an offense in a sect, but Lin Mu and Jing Luo were technically elders of the Light Harmony sect.

Even if they were guest elders. Thus, no formation array was triggered and the two of them easily left the sect after about an hour. This only made Lin Mu realize just how large the Light harmony sect was.

"If we consider area wise, the Light Harmony sect is perhaps the third largest in size. Due to it being a pill making sect, they need a wide area so that the pill refinement is not disturbed. Explosions can often happen due to failure and different disciples might disturb each other due to this.

Thus, having some distance between them is better." Jing Luo explained.

"I see" Lin Mu muttered.

Lin Mu knew of the sizes of the sect and the Rainbow pill sect was the largest sect area wise even though it was ranked second.. While the Sky Precepts sect came second in area size while being the first in sect rankings.
