Chapter 601: Dark Wind Monster Sect Stuns the Continents

Wu Qian was surprised to learn this fact.

He only came to Arid Continent because he heard this place used to have ruins of immortals. He had come here to investigate and Wu Qian had always been a wanderer anyway.

After staying in Arid Continent for several months, he still hadn’t found any immortal ruins.

Alas, the weather had suddenly changed today and from a distance, he saw a huge gourd hanging in the sky. Mad with delight, he decided to approach the scene boldly.

He never expected to find Appraiser Lin standing here.

Though, wasn’t Appraiser Lin’s cultivation level a little too high? As he stared at the emerald seawater that was about to fill up the vast crater, Wu Qian felt so conflicted that he was at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, Lin Jin acted courteously toward Wu Qian. He even introduced him to Tiger Taoist and Jin Chi.

Hearing that both these individuals were monster cultivators, Wu Qian couldn’t even begin to describe his fear. After plucking up his courage, he managed to greet them jovially.

He was surely no fool. Both men were oozing dense monster energy, and the fact that they could take on human forms proved how profound their cultivation was. Wu Qian’s cultivation was nothing worth mentioning compared to them. He started to grow so nervous that he didn’t know what to do with his hands.

However, Lin Jin took care to make Wu Qian comfortable.

Just then, the large crater behind them had been filled up. This was an inland sea, rather than a lake, since they couldn’t even see the shores on the other side. As the crater’s depth was more than fifty miles, to fill it with water was a feat only immortals could pull off.

However, Lin Jin knew he wasn’t an immortal. He merely borrowed the powers of a magic treasure, the Four Ocean Gourd.

The mystical effect was all thanks to the uniqueness of this magic treasure.

After witnessing this treasure’s capabilities, Lin Jin figured this Four Ocean Gourd must have a strong origin. In his hieroglyphic, Daojun mentioned it had been a chance encounter when he found this magic treasure in a hidden location. However, he did not utilize this item, nor did he try to refine it.

Perhaps even Daojun had no idea that the Four Ocean Gourd was indeed capable of creating a sea.

With a wave of his hand, the massive gourd shrunk into a ray of light before it returned to Lin Jin’s hands.

Lin Jin hung the gourd around his waist. With a blade and a gourd hanging from his waistband, he gave off a suave yet domineering air.

As if a sudden thought had entered Lin Jin’s mind, he abruptly issued a salute before announcing loudly, “I am Lin Jin, the disciple of Curator. I am here today on my master’s instruction to form a sea that would henceforth bring prosperity to the people of Arid Continent. If my actions have startled you all, please accept my sincerest apologies.”

Then, he paused.

Lin Jin made the impromptu speech for two reasons. The first was to promote Curator’s reputation. Apart from that, he had to provide an explanation for the creation of the inland sea. Otherwise, everyone would start speculating about his intentions.

Since Lin Jin planned to form the Dark Wind Monster Sect, now was the best time to officially introduce it.

To establish a sect, fame and guests were required. Now was his best opportunity to send out his invitation for everyone to witness the birth of a new sect.

With this in mind, Lin Jin added, “I am the sect leader of Arid Continent’s Dark Wind Monster Sect. Our Dark Wind Sect has only been established recently, and if anyone has time, feel free to come and visit us at Dark Wind Cave. I would greatly appreciate your presence.”

His booming voice resonated through the lands. While people beyond a hundred-mile radius were unable to hear his voice, to be able to achieve this much was sufficient to Lin Jin.

After that, Lin Jin formally invited Jin Chi and Wu Qian to Dark Wind Cave.

Jin Chi had already planned to visit them. When he heard that Lin Jin was actually a Rank 4 beast appraiser, his eyes lit up and he wanted to speak on several occasions but ultimately held back. Hence, when Lin Jin formally extended them an invitation, he accepted it readily.

Wu Qian wouldn’t turn down the invitation either. For one, it was an opportunity to gain experience. Apart from that, he was too afraid to reject the friendly gesture.

And so, the group returned to Dark Wind Cave. Lin Jin summoned a handful of banner masters and issued instructions to them.

The sect’s opening ceremony was ultimately just a formality that had the purpose of announcing their birth to the world. After all, regulations and arrangements had already been made prior to the public announcement.

Finally, after discussing it with Tiger Taoist, Lin Jin decided that Dark Wind Monster Sect’s opening ceremony would officially take place three days from now. They would use the remaining days to make preparations and host their guests.

In Lin Jin’s opinion, this was a good deed on par with creating a sea for Arid Continent. Although the ceremony was not for a noble cause, the fact that this sect would grow to be a powerful pawn made it worth his effort.

Lin Jin had also told them to spread the names of Dark Wind Monster Sect’s founding grandmasters.

In the future, whenever Daojun’s name was mentioned, people would start to think of Curator. Daojun had already passed away but Curator was still a living legend.

The sea formation incident would be their catalyst.

Had it not been for this incident, perhaps no one would come to support the opening ceremony of the Dark Wind Monster Sect. Now, they need not worry about this issue anymore.

On the first day, they ended up receiving more than a hundred guests from Arid Continent.

These people were all experts of the continent. As news of Dark Wind Cave annihilating the Water God Cult had spread far and wide, in addition to Lin Jin creating a man-made sea, Dark Wind Cave became the strongest faction in Arid Continent that many bowed to.

No one doubted their capabilities.

Even if some were reluctant to acknowledge their strength, they surely didn’t dare to reveal their dissatisfaction.

Over the next two days, they received guests from far away who specifically came to congratulate them. Among all the visitors they received, Lin Jin only knew half of them on a personal basis.

After dropping by the cave, the guests would all go over to the inland sea to take a look for themselves. When they finally laid eyes on the majestic inland sea, these people were stunned. This sea was the ultimate evidence of how strong the Dark Wind Monster Sect was.

Thanks to Lin Jin, Curator’s name once again spread far and wide.

News of Curator subduing monsters and establishing a Dark Wind Monster Sect spread like wildfire, and soon, many premium countries in other continents and powerful factions received word of the incident.

‘Arid Continent’s inland sea’ and ‘Dark Wind Monster Sect’ became frequently discussed topics among these powerful organizations. Of course, Curator’s name appeared here and there too.

There were even rumors that the inland sea was actually created by Curator himself. As a matter of fact, more people believed this version of the story.

After all, compared to Curator, Lin Jin’s reputation was far too weak. Those who knew him recognized him as Curator’s disciple, a Rank 4 beast appraiser. Of course, there were also people who had no idea who Lin Jin was.

Three days later, just before the Dark Wind Monster Sect was about to host their official opening ceremony, Lin Jin told Tiger Taoist that he wanted to invite his master, Curator, over to host the event.

Tiger Taoist easily agreed with this idea.

After all, Curator was Dark Wind Monster Sect’s grandmaster and Tiger Taoist was keen to meet this legendary figure.
