Chapter 2445 Formal Obligations
Lin Mu''s thoughts weren''t wrong either, as the guidance he was receiving was something others would die to get.
Getting guidance and teachings from a Celestial was already something most immortals could dream of, getting personal guidance from someone of the Saintess''s standing was simply unthinkable. Even other Celestials would be willing toe under her to learn not to mention immortals.
Even within the Serpent Moon Sect, there had been only a handful of individuals that had received guidance from her. On some level, her skill with teaching seemed to be even better than Xukong.
Lin Mu didn''t know if this was because they were teaching in different fields of cultivation or if the Saintess simply had a better hand at it.
He was used to Xukong''s teachings that were straightforward and contained a lot of theory. He would listen to it, memorize it and analyze it on his own before applying it. But in the Saintess''s case, she would have him start from the practical application right away and correct him when needed. Both methods worked for Lin Mu, but he reckoned that forprehending a profound skill like the Cloud Dragon Stride of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series, practical teaching like this was better. Though this wasn''t something that could be done by just anyone. Not only would the teacher have to be a master at the Dao, they would also need to be able to create an optimum learning environment. The Cloud Lake that the Saintess had created was something that might only be achievable by sects.
And even then, the sects would need special arrays and a lot of Immortal stones to run it. As such, a training ground such as this would be valuable and perhaps only permitted for some of the top disciples who were known to have a natural affinity to the Dao.
Lin Mu would certainly not fall into that category, as he did not have a natural affinity to the Cloud Dao. He might have managed to gain an understanding of it, but it was nowhere enough for a sect to be convinced. Thus, if there were Lin Mu or someone of his level, they would never be granted the same conditions.
Lin Mu didn''t know this, but if he did, he would still be grateful, nevertheless.
He also knew that the best way to show his gratitude was to show results, so that the Saintess would know it was not a waste of effort on her part.
"That''s enough." But much to Lin Mu''s surprise, she suddenly asked him to stop.
"Huh?" Lin Mu halted mid step and turned to look at her. "What''s wrong?" he asked.
"You have a guest." The Saintess said before her form started to fade. "Afterward, focus onprehending it more while meditating. I''lle teach youter." She added before finally disappearing.
~SHUA~
~SPLASH~
Once she was gone, the Cloud Lake disappeared too, causing Lin Mu to fall into the water.
"Huh… wonder who it is." Lin Mu didn''t mind though as he quickly dried himself by simply releasing a bit of the Searing hot energy.
Spreading his immortal sense, he found two people approaching thekeside.
"The Crown Prince and… themander?" Lin Mu recognized the second man to be someone who was supposed to havee on the expedition with them.
"Ah, Daoist Lin Mu taking a bit of swim?" Crown Prince Feng Shun saw the man in theke.
"Something like that," Lin Mu said as he floated towards them.
"Well, I''m sorry to interrupt, but we''ve got a few things to discuss." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.
"It''s fine, I was done anyway." Lin Mu didn''t mind. "So what do you want to talk about?" he asked.
"You remember Commander Dui right?" Crown Prince Feng Shun gestured to the man. "Sure I do." Lin Mu nodded his head.
The man was dressed in hismander uniform instead of the armor, which didn''t have the helmet like before. Lin Mu could also sense the man''s cultivation base better, which was at the Fifth Tribtion Stage of the Immortal realm.
"Greetings, Lord Imperator." Commander Dui cupped his hands in a military salute before bowing his head.
Unlike before, themander had to be a lot more respectful, as Lin Mu was now his superior due to his new title.
"You don''t have to be too formal with me, Commander Dui. Just Lin Mu is fine too." Lin Mu wasn''t really one for the formalities.
"I''m afraid it is a necessity. Something you''ll have to get used to." Commander Dui replied in a respectful tone. "This is also why I''m here today." He added.
"Oh?" Lin Mu was now a bit curious.
"While Father has granted you the title of the Imperial Imperator, you are yet to have been introduced to our people," Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke.
"Yes, it is important that the soldiers, officers as well as themoners know of you now," Commander Dui chimed in. "They need to know who will bemanding them and oversee the overarching operations." He added.
Lin Mu was certainly not expecting this and was a bit taken aback. Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
While he knew the title was a heavy one, he didn''t know it woulde with certain formal obligations too. Previously, when he had been the Alliance Head in the Xiaofan world, he mostly interacted with the Sect heads and elders, while the disciples and other people simply knew of him.
He had forgotten that unlike here; he had already be very notorious in the Xiaofan world, thus the lower ranked cultivators didn''t need much introduction about him.
But here, Lin Mu as ''Lin Mu'' wasn''t known. He was only known as ''Mu Lin'', thus the sudden news of an Imperial Imperator being assigned was confusing to the people of the Capital.
His fame as the winner of the Tournament of the Four Guardian beasts had also faded away quite a bit due to the events that had happened in these twenty five years too.
