Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 1944 Who Is The Master?

With how many people Lin Mu had met in the Serene Glass Valley and had come in contact with, it wouldnʼt be surprising if the trace that the Flash Cleave Axe was detecting was from them.

ʼI also did soak in the Hot Springs… It would make sense if the person the Flash Cleave Axe deems as the master was present there too.ʼ Lin Mu thought to himself.

Even if he was in the private section, the water source was the same, not to mention it would continue to circulate which could very easily transfer the traces to other people.

Lin Mu even thought further about it and realized that there was a flaw in this.

ʼWouldnʼt this apply to others too then? The Flash Cleave Axe would have thought someone else was hiding its master too.ʼ Lin Mu thought before going over all those that were present here.

He compared them with the energy signature of the Hot Springs.

With the five elemental immortal Qi present in the Hot Springs, it would be very easy to spot it on others. Especially with someone like Lin Muʼs sensitivity.

ʼHmm, itʼs none of the others that were here. Which means it is someone else from the valley.ʼ Lin Mu figured it out.

But the true answer would only be obtained when the Flash Cleave Axe explained more to them.

”My masterʼs traces are… Bright… Vibrant… and strong.” The Flash Cleave Axe described.

”Bright, Vibrant, and strong?” Lin Mu muttered, trying to think about how it could link.

”So it is someone with an affinity to the Light Dao.” Head Elder Heng guessed.

”No.” But much to their surprise, the Flash Cleave Axe denied. ”They are much better than that!” it added.

”Donʼt have an affinity with the Light Dao and are still better?” The Head Elder was lost.

Head Elder Dajian also tried to think about it and went to the next possible option.

”Then do they have an affinity with the Axe Dao or have Axe Intent?” he questioned.

”They donʼt have that either.” The Flash Cleave Axe answered, confusing them further.

”Neither Light Dao nor Axe Dao… A Peak Grade immortal weapon choosing a master that has neither of those? It may as well be Daoist Mu Lin.” Head Elder Heng said feeling confused. ”Are you sure he isnʼt your master?” he asked again.

”He has the traces of my master, but he isnʼt my master.” The Flash Cleave Axe rejected.

”Why would you pick a master that has no affinity with the Dao and the elements that you have?” Head Elder Dajian asked, wanting to resolve the doubts in his mind.

”Because they are much stronger than that.” The Flash Cleave Axe replied in short.

”Much Stronger than that? Do you mean they can command a Dao superior to the Light Dao?” Head Elder Dajian asked, finding it unlikely.

”Yes!” This time, they got a positive response from the weapon.

But it also made the two head elders even more lost.

”For a Dao to be superior to the Light Dao, it cannot be the other three Heavenly Elements.” Head Elder Heng analyzed. ”It can only be something above that… A Primordial Element Dao?”

”Could it be?” Head Elder Dajian thought it was a far shot. ”There is no junior or elder, in the entire Serene Glass Valley that has an affinity with any of the three primordial elements. If there were, we would have known a long time ago.” He said with surety.

Lin Mu who heard all this, had a wry smile on his face. The elders didnʼt see this, as they were focused on talking to each other and didnʼt know his thoughts either.

ʼI have a primordial element, but the Axe doesnʼt mean that either. Itʼs definitely not the space element.ʼ Lin Mu said in his mind.

He continued to think and formulated another question.

”This master of yours… would they be able to wield you to your full potential?” Lin Mu asked after thinking for a couple of minutes.

”Undoubtedly.” The Flash Cleave Axe answered with full confidence.

”Hmm… doesnʼt have the light element nor the Axe Dao and yet would be able to use it to its full potential.” Lin Mu racked his brain more trying to solve the mystery.

Ten minutes went by, as the elders continued to discuss the matter.

To them, this was important as it was within both their fields of expertise. It was the same as giving a mathematician a new problem. They wouldnʼt stop until they found a solution to it.

”Wait… what if the Axe Dao isnʼt a factor… They donʼt need to know the Axe Dao now; they can learn it later on. Itʼll be fast with a peak grade immortal weapon too!” Lin Mu suddenly said out loud. ”Instead, what we need to focus on is the Light Dao… for a Dao to be superior to it, it doesnʼt necessarily have to be from the three primordial elements!” His words brought the two elders out of their discussion.

”A Dao that is related to the Light Dao perhaps… A derivative?” Head Elder Dajian said after hearing Lin Muʼs words.

”No… it doesnʼt have to be a derivative of the Light Dao… what if the Light Dao IS the derivative!” Head Elder Heng, though, was closer to the answer.

”Indeed… It is a Dao Superior to the Light Dao… It is the Yang Dao!” Lin Mu revealed.

”Of course! How did we miss that!?” Head Elder Dajian said as the realization struck him.

”Light comes from Yang after all. If someone has an affinity to the Yang Dao, they would definitely be capable of using Light Dao too.” Head Elder Heng said, a look of understanding on his face.

Now that the two head elders had learned this, they thought of who could be the person that the Axe was deeming as its master.

”But wait… Do we know someone that has an affinity to the Yang Dao?” Head Elder Dajian asked.

”No, we donʼt.” Head Elder Heng shook his head.

”But I do.” Lin Mu stated.
