<h4>Chapter 1944 Who Is The Master?</h4>


    With how many people Lin Mu had met in the Serene ss Valley and hade in contact with, it wouldn''t be surprising if the trace that the sh Cleave Axe was detecting was from them.


    ''I also did soak in the Hot Springs… It would make sense if the person the sh Cleave Axe deems as the master was present there too.'' Lin Mu thought to himself.


    Even if he was in the private section, the water source was the same, not to mention it would continue to circte which could very easily transfer the traces to other people.


    Lin Mu even thought further about it and realized that there was a w in this.


    ''Wouldn''t this apply to others too then? The sh Cleave Axe would have thought someone else was hiding its master too.'' Lin Mu thought before going over all those that were present here.


    Hepared them with the energy signature of the Hot Springs.


    With the five elemental immortal Qi present in the Hot Springs, it would be very easy to spot it on others. Especially with someone like Lin Mu''s sensitivity.


    ''Hmm, it''s none of the others that were here. Which means it is someone else from the valley.'' Lin Mu figured it out.


    But the true answer would only be obtained when the sh Cleave Axe exined more to them.


    "My master''s traces are… Bright… Vibrant… and strong." The sh Cleave Axe described. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    "Bright, Vibrant, and strong?" Lin Mu muttered, trying to think about how it could link.


    "So it is someone with an affinity to the Light Dao." Head Elder Heng guessed.


    "No." But much to their surprise, the sh Cleave Axe denied. "They are much better than that!" it added.


    "Don''t have an affinity with the Light Dao and are still better?" The Head Elder was lost.


    Head Elder Dajian also tried to think about it and went to the next possible option.


    "Then do they have an affinity with the Axe Dao or have Axe Intent?" he questioned.


    "They don''t have that either." The sh Cleave Axe answered, confusing them further.


    "Neither Light Dao nor Axe Dao… A Peak Grade immortal weapon choosing a master that has neither of those? It may as well be Daoist Mu Lin." Head Elder Heng said feeling confused. "Are you sure he isn''t your master?" he asked again.


    "He has the traces of my master, but he isn''t my master." The sh Cleave Axe rejected.


    "Why would you pick a master that has no affinity with the Dao and the elements that you have?" Head Elder Dajian asked, wanting to resolve the doubts in his mind.


    "Because they are much stronger than that." The sh Cleave Axe replied in short.


    "Much Stronger than that? Do you mean they canmand a Dao superior to the Light Dao?" Head Elder Dajian asked, finding it unlikely.


    "Yes!" This time, they got a positive response from the weapon.


    But it also made the two head elders even more lost.


    "For a Dao to be superior to the Light Dao, it cannot be the other three Heavenly Elements." Head Elder Heng analyzed. "It can only be something above that… A Primordial Element Dao?"


    "Could it be?" Head Elder Dajian thought it was a far shot. "There is no junior or elder, in the entire Serene ss Valley that has an affinity with any of the three primordial elements. If there were, we would have known a long time ago." He said with surety.


    Lin Mu who heard all this, had a wry smile on his face. The elders didn''t see this, as they were focused on talking to each other and didn''t know his thoughts either.


    ''I have a primordial element, but the Axe doesn''t mean that either. It''s definitely not the space element.'' Lin Mu said in his mind.


    He continued to think and formted another question.


    "This master of yours… would they be able to wield you to your full potential?" Lin Mu asked after thinking for a couple of minutes.


    "Undoubtedly." The sh Cleave Axe answered with full confidence.


    "Hmm… doesn''t have the light element nor the Axe Dao and yet would be able to use it to its full potential." Lin Mu racked his brain more trying to solve the mystery.


    Ten minutes went by, as the elders continued to discuss the matter.


    To them, this was important as it was within both their fields of expertise. It was the same as giving a mathematician a new problem. They wouldn''t stop until they found a solution to it.


    "Wait… what if the Axe Dao isn''t a factor… They don''t need to know the Axe Dao now; they can learn itter on. It''ll be fast with a peak grade immortal weapon too!" Lin Mu suddenly said out loud. "Instead, what we need to focus on is the Light Dao… for a Dao to be superior to it, it doesn''t necessarily have to be from the three primordial elements!" His words brought the two elders out of their discussion.


    "A Dao that is rted to the Light Dao perhaps… A derivative?" Head Elder Dajian said after hearing Lin Mu''s words.


    "No… it doesn''t have to be a derivative of the Light Dao… what if the Light Dao IS the derivative!" Head Elder Heng, though, was closer to the answer.


    "Indeed… It is a Dao Superior to the Light Dao… It is the Yang Dao!" Lin Mu revealed.


    "Of course! How did we miss that!?" Head Elder Dajian said as the realization struck him.


    "Lightes from Yang after all. If someone has an affinity to the Yang Dao, they would definitely be capable of using Light Dao too." Head Elder Heng said, a look of understanding on his face.


    Now that the two head elders had learned this, they thought of who could be the person that the Axe was deeming as its master.


    "But wait… Do we know someone that has an affinity to the Yang Dao?" Head Elder Dajian asked.


    "No, we don''t." Head Elder Heng shook his head.


    "But I do." Lin Mu stated.
