Chapter 2492 Lin Mo's Condition
Lin Mo's words were stunning to both Lin Mu and Xukong.
"You did that?" Lin Mu had wondered back then whose voice he had heard it but didn't expect it to be Lin Mo. 'It was brief but to think it was him too.' He thought.
'To be able to disperse the impact of Karma like that… just what is he?' Xukong was also at a loss.
"I did." Lin Mo replied. "If not for me, you certainly would've gotten Qi deviation from that." He added.
Lin Mu didn't know how to reply to that, but at least now he felt a certain level of trust in Lin Mo. Seeing that he had grown silent, Lin Mo knew his words had worked.
"So what do you say?" Lin Mo asked again. "The memories of a Celestial are highly valuable. It'll be able to grant you knowledge that even Senior Xukong cannot give you right now." He tempted further.
With the world restrictions that were put, Lin Mu knew that this was a good way to bypass them. The chance for it was quite temping and it would also solve the issue of preventing Yao Changying from obtaining the Soul.
Lin Mu thought about it deeply and wondered if he should go with it.
"Should I do it, Senior Xukong?" Lin Mu consulted.
"It is up to you." Xukong had his apprehensions about Lin Mo, but so far it did seem like the man didn't wish Lin Mu harm. If anything, it seemed like Lin Mo wanted Lin Mu to grow and become stronger. It was something Xukong could get behind too, even if the means to obtain it might not be aligned for them.
"Alright." Lin Mu finally made up his mind.
"Great… though I have a condition." Lin Mo suddenly said.
Hearing that, Lin Mu got a bad feeling.
'I guess he always wanted something out of this.' Lin Mu reckoned it was something that he should've expected. "What is it?" he questioned.
"I simply want you to let me out from time to time." Lin Mo stated. "It gets boring cooped up in here you know? Even if I know everything you do, it's boring to simply comprehend all the time." He added.
"Comprehend? What?" Lin Mu was confused.
"Everything you know, I know. Just like how you comprehend and cultivate, I do too." Lin Mo replied. "Though perhaps I might be a few steps ahead of you. Whatever you've comprehend, I can go beyond that after all." He laughed.
Lin Mu's mind was almost blown by this. He didn't know that Lin Mo was doing this while hiding within him. 'I thought he was simply inactive all the time,' Lin Mu thought to himself.
"What? You thought I'd just sit around doing nothing all day?" Lin Mo replied. "I've learned quite a lot from what you already know. My Sword Skills are already better than yours." He teased.
Hearing this though, Lin Mu recalled the Sword Technique that Lin Mo had used.
"The Disaster Sword Technique…" Lin Mu muttered.
"My own creation." Lin Mo replied. "I finally got to use it when you used the Murdering Heart Sutra." 'That was the first time he used it and it was already that strong?!' Lin Mu had seen how strong the Sword Technique was and even Xukong had been surprised by its power.
When they had discussed about it in the Sleepscape before, Xukong had put it to be one of the strongest Sword Techniques he had seen. They had also wondered how Lin Mo had gotten hold of it back then.
'To think he created it.' Xukong was now greatly interested in what Lin Mo was. 'Even if he is lying, the Sword Technique isn't something that can be easily learned just by stealing it from somewhere else.' He reckoned.
It was now that Lin Mo threw out another offering.
"If you want, I can also teach you that." Lin Mo spoke. "Though it is something that you can only use when using the Murdering Heart Sutra, since it needs Devil Qi to work." He stated with honesty that surprised Lin Mu.
"So you're saying he can only use it when you are active?" Xukong could see a flaw here.
"I never said that." Lin Mo retorted. "I simply said that using the Murdering Heart Sutra is the need, not that I need to be active. He can use the Murdering Heart Sutra without me being active too… After all I am the full potential of the Sutra." He added.
"I'll think about it." As strong as the technique was, Lin Mu knew not to rush into it. 'If it needs Murdering Heart Sutra to use it, it's not something I can use normally anyways.' He thought.
The Murdering Heart Sutra had been used by Lin Mu in the past once without Lin Mo appearing and that was also how he had learned that it could absorb souls. Lin Mu had managed to control the Sutra on his own back then, so knew that Lin Mo's words were likely true.
He wasn't lying when he said that Lin Mu didn't need him to be active for it.
"Though you will certainly need to keep me active if you wish to learn it. But it aligns with my condition too, so we both get something out of it. You were far to exhausted last time to fully get a grasp on it, but now you should be able to grasp it while I'm active." Lin Mo stated, making Lin Mu a bit more inclined towards accepting his condition.
"Very well, as long as you do not harm those around me, I'll accept your offer." Lin Mu answered making Lin Mo very pleased.
"Hahaha! You will not regret this." Lin Mo laughed. "Now that the deal is sealed I should do my part." "Not yet… there's still a few things needed to be done." Lin Mu said as he flew down from the Crow's Nest to talk with his companions.
