Chapter 676: A Colossal Being
Jiang Yun’s words turned Mu Shaofeng’s displeasure into surprise.
As the Taoist Child of the Seeking Dao Sect, he naturally knew about the Seeking-Tao Sect, and knew that the Seeking-Tao Sect, like the Seeking Dao Sect, was also one of the Nine Great Dao Sects.
Honestly, Jiang Yun saw him as just a tool that could help him regain his freedom, a lower-class person in the lower world.
But he never expected Jiang Yun to be the sect master of the Seeking-Tao Sect in the Mountain-Sea World.
However, his surprise quickly faded, and he regained a proud look on his face, "Although the Seeking-Tao Sect and my Seeking Dao Sect both belong to the Nine Great Dao Sects, at best, you are just a sect master of a branch sect!"
"And we have plenty of branch sects in my Seeking Dao Sect! A mere branch sect master cannot compare to my status as a Taoist Child. There’s nothing worthy of boasting about."
"Furthermore, even if you are a branch sect master, it’s almost impossible for you to return to your Main Sect. But as long as you release me, where I will take you is the Main Sect of my Seeking Dao Sect!"
"By then, I will find you a master, and you can directly join my Seeking Dao Sect, soaring to great heights from then on."
Seeing the renewed glow on Mu Shaofeng’s face, Jiang Yun said nothing more.
Revealing his identity was not to show off, but to make Mu Shaofeng realize he shouldn’t feel so good about himself.
But evidently, it had no effect.
"After Mu Shaofeng finished speaking, he said, ‘Since you’re so important, why have you been stuck here for so many years without anyone from Seeking Dao Sect coming to rescue you?’"
"Who said they haven’t!"
Mu Shaofeng pointed at Jiang Yun and said, "To be honest, the formation stone I gave you last time was actually a message for my sect!"
With a troubled expression, Mu Shaofeng said, "I don’t know why they haven’t come yet. They should have arrived over ten years ago!"
Actions speak louder than words!
Mu Shaofeng’s complaint made Jiang Yun suddenly think of his master whom he had to leave for some reason.
Even though Dao Tianyou didn’t know who the expert that Gu Bulao drove away from entering the Mountain-Sea World was, now, combining Mu Shaofeng’s words, Jiang Yun felt that most likely, that person was from Seeking Dao Sect!
Thinking about this possibility, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but feel slightly disgruntled towards Mu Shaofeng.
If not for him, his master might still be in the Mountain-Sea World now.
However, he also knew it wasn’t Mu Shaofeng’s fault. Anyone trapped underwater for so long would naturally try all ways to escape.
Jiang Yun waved his hand and said, "Alright, even though I’m not sure if what you’re saying is true or not, and I don’t want to go to your Seeking Dao Sect. But as long as I can break the formation, maybe, I can set you free!"
"Really?"
Mu Shaofeng’s eyes lit up immediately and he said, "Brother Jiang, as long as you can set me free, you will be my good brother from that moment on!"
"In the future, wherever you go, whatever difficulties you face, just mention my name Mu Shaofeng, and any power big or small will have to give me some respect."
Jiang Yun shook his head, completely impressed by Mu Shaofeng’s arrogance, and casually asked, "I wonder, will your name be useful at Dao God Temple?"
"Dao God Temple?" Mu Shaofeng was puzzled, "Have you offended people from Dao God Temple?"
"I don’t know, all I know is that Dao God Temple has sent a Boundary Patroller to capture me and bring me to Dao Prison!"
Ever since he learned about this from Di Hong, Jiang Yun had never told anyone, but now, in front of Mu Shaofeng, he revealed it.
He felt really uncomfortable holding it in for so long, and even though Mu Shaofeng couldn’t leave Nine Snow Loop Array, it was fine to tell him.
At that moment, Mu Shaofeng showed a sympathetic look on his face and said, "Kid, you’re in trouble. Dao Prison is not a place for people to stay!"
"The power of the Boundary Patroller is not to be underestimated. Even if ten of you were combined, you still wouldn’t be a match for him!"
Although Jiang Yun didn’t know what Taoist Child was, he thought it must be a similar existence to the Sea clan’s Clan Child.
Especially with Mu Shaofeng looking so pleased with himself, his status in the Seeking Dao Sect must be high, and he likely knew a lot more things than Jiang Yun did.
After some thought, Jiang Yun said, "Mu Shaofeng, how about we make a deal?"
"A deal!" Mu Shaofeng replied, "Kid, you don’t want me to help you deal with the people from the Dao God Temple, do you?"
"Let me tell you, that won’t work! Even though I have a high status, I don’t want to offend the Dao God Temple because of you!"
With a slight smile, Jiang Yun said, "I don’t need your help to deal with the Dao God Temple. You only need to tell me everything you know about the Dao God Temple, and I will try my best to break this formation and set you free."
Mu Shaofeng didn’t answer right away, he frowned as if thinking.
After a moment, he shook his head and said, "That won’t work either. You’ve only broken two small formations so far. There are still seven more to go, each one harder than the last. Who knows how long it will take for you to break them all."
"I’m afraid that before you break all these formations, the Boundary Patroller will arrive, then I will have lost both the lady and the soldiers."
Jiang Yun looked at Mu Shaofeng for a while, then nodded seriously and said, "Thank you for reminding me! You make a lot of sense. Instead of wasting time breaking the formations here, it’s better for us to quickly escape from the Mountain-Sea World. Goodbye!"
"Wait!"
Seeing Jiang Yun about to leave, Mu Shaofeng shouted, "Don’t leave in a hurry, let’s discuss it again."
Now all of Mu Shaofeng’s hopes rested on Jiang Yun. If Jiang Yun left, he had no idea how much longer he would be trapped here.
Jiang Yun turned around slowly and asked, "What else is there to discuss?"
Mu Shaofeng’s eyes darted around, and after a moment, he said, "How about this, you continue breaking the formations, and I’ll make a Communication Stone. You help me crush it outside the formations, and then I’ll tell you some things about the Dao God Temple."
"However, although Dao God Temple is famous in the Tao World, I cannot possibly know its true core secrets. I can only tell you what everyone already knows."
After pretending to ponder for a moment, Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Deal!"
So, Mu Shaofeng made another Communication Stone, even dropping a drop of his own blood into it, then watched Jiang Yun crush it outside the array before feeling relieved.
Next, while starting to decipher the third small array, Jiang Yun listened to Mu Shaofeng recount everything about the Dao God Temple.
The Dao God Temple is essentially the most powerful organization in the myriad Tao World, nearly controlling all of it.
Therefore, although called a temple, it is actually a colossal entity, so huge that outsiders cannot even imagine.
Simply put, the Dao God Temple is divided into two main halls, which can further split into three palaces, six paths, nine chambers, eighteen halls, each with its own responsibilities and no interference among them.
No one knows exactly how many people are in the Dao God Temple, but entering it has strict requirements that make its power extremely strong!
Although the Nine Great Dao Sects are not under the jurisdiction of the Dao God Temple, even the sect master of the Nine Great Dao Sects must still be respectful and not easily offend the Dao God Temple.
Of course, the strength of the Nine Great Dao Sects is not to be underestimated, so they had maintained peaceful coexistence with the Dao God Temple and refrained from interfering with each other.
Listening to Mu Shaofeng yakking on, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but frown and ask, "Who is the master of the Dao God Temple?"
When Mu Shaofeng heard Jiang Yun’s question, he suddenly looked around as if he was up to something sneaky, and then whispered, "The high respects the higher!"
"Taoist Lord?" Jiang Yun repeated.
Unexpectedly, when he repeated this, Mu Shaofeng’s face turned extremely pale, and he quickly made a gesture to Jiang Yun to signal him to be quiet, saying, "Cannot say, cannot say!"
