“Since I can’t find them, I might as well go and complete Lord Destruction Gold’s task first.”
Having made up his mind, Lin Yun headed straight for the Nine Domains of the human race.
This time, he decided to follow the same routes he had used when searching for Origin Hearts, now looking for the reincarnated Lord Destruction Gold.
…
Yongle Domain.
Lin Yun hovered in mid-air, gazing at a sect perched on the mountain ahead.
He flipped his hand, revealing the jade ruyi. It flickered with bursts of light, clearly pointing towards the manor in the distance.
“This should be the place,” Lin Yun murmured as he looked down at the distant sect.
It had taken him seven months from leaving the Ancestral Heart Realm to this moment.
To locate Lord Destruction Gold in just seven months was, for Lin Yun, extraordinarily smooth. He had even worried that it might prove as difficult as finding the remaining two Origin Hearts.
At the foot of the sect’s mountain lay a small village. Lin Yun decided to start there and gather some information about the sect ahead.
The map did not mark this sect, so he naturally had no idea what kind of power it was or which faction it belonged to.
To be safe, it was best to ask around first.
Inside the small village at the mountain foot.
Lin Yun walked in, fully concealing his aura.
The moment he entered the village, he spotted a simple teahouse by the entrance.
Teahouses were always good places to pick up news, so Lin Yun went straight in.
“What would you like to drink, sir?”
As soon as he stepped inside, a middle-aged owner greeted him warmly.
“Anything is fine,” Lin Yun replied casually, taking out a Haoyue crystal and handing it over.
“Right away! Please take a seat over there, sir.” The owner’s face lit up the instant he saw the crystal.
In the ancestral land, ordinary people still used silver and gold coins for transactions. Haoyue crystals were the highest form of currency.
Lin Yun had arrived in the ancestral land already at the Dominion realm, so he had never bothered with lower currencies.
He turned and sat at an empty table nearby, glancing around as he did so.
The teahouse was not large and had no real decoration to speak of, but it was kept very clean, and business was clearly good. The table Lin Yun chose was the last empty one in the place.
Moments later, the owner brought tea and a few small snacks and pastries.
“Sir, this is the finest tea we have. Please enjoy.” The owner beamed.
“Thank you. Actually, I wanted to ask you something. What is the name of the sect on the mountain over there?” Lin Yun asked politely.
“The sect on the mountain is called the Great Gold Sect. It is the most powerful sect in this entire area. Countless cultivators flock to it. Right now happens to be the time when the Great Gold Sect opens its gates to recruit disciples, which is why business has been especially brisk lately,” the owner explained with a wide smile.
Lin Yun thought for a moment. He had never heard of this sect.
He had spent considerable time in the ancestral land by now and was familiar with the names of the top several dozen powers.
The Great Gold Sect, however, was completely unknown to him.
“Tell me, what is the strongest cultivator in the Great Gold Sect?” Lin Yun asked.
“From what I know, the sect leader of the Great Gold Sect is a Saint-realm expert. He is someone who can chat and laugh on equal terms with the lord of Fengheng City. A figure of that level is far beyond what people like us can even imagine,” the owner said, looking up with a sigh of admiration.
“Indeed, such experts are beyond the reach of ordinary folk like us,” Lin Yun said with a smile, echoing the owner’s sentiment.
He was only agreeing casually, of course.
The owner looked at Lin Yun and chuckled. “You seem quite young, little brother. Don’t tell me you’re planning to try joining the Great Gold Sect? Passing their entrance trials and becoming a disciple isn’t easy at all.”
“Uh, no,” Lin Yun said with a laugh, shaking his head.
With his current strength, let alone a minor sect like the Great Gold Sect that he had never even heard of, even if he joined a top-tier power in the ancestral land like the Dual Venerables Pavilion, he would immediately be offered an elder-level position.
Lin Yun had not expected that the reincarnated Lord Destruction Gold would end up in such a small sect.
Of course, Lord Destruction Gold might have already gone through many cycles of reincarnation.
If Lin Yun did not find him, he would simply continue reincarnating after this life ended.
