Lin Mu's words were spoke with confidence and the veiled woman felt impressed.
She knew just how difficult it was for someone to truly perceive her Dao skill like this. It was one of the skills she had honed a long time ago so that she could hide her identity, thus it getting found out was both surprising and a little unnerving.
'Even if the skill is restrained due to my cultivation base right now, it is still quite impressing for the young man to be able to do it. If he can do this while also having spatial affinity, he will go very far…' The veiled woman thought to herself.
Having thought of all this, she finally gave Lin Mu a response.
"Absolutely correct."
"I am? I thought I would still be a bit off." Lin Mu muttered.
"You did well. Even celestials have mistaken it before, so you being able to sense it at the first tribulation stage of the immortal realm is greatly impressive." The veiled woman replied.
This was very tall praise for Lin Mu, and it was also coming from a stranger that he knew little about. It made it a little difficult for him to take, but he nodded his head nevertheless.
"Well then, will you tell me what legacy sect you are from?" The veiled woman asked again. "If there is any relief know that I am from one as well." She added.
Lin Mu didn't reply to her though. And this wasn't because he didn't want to but because he simply didn't know what she meant.
"Senior Xukong," Lin Mu woke up the old spider from his trance.
"Mmm?" Xukong immediately scanned through Lin Mu's latest memories knowing what he had just experienced.
"Someone like this in an immortal world?" Xukong was quite surprised as well.
Unlike Lin Mu, he could tell just what kind of a skill was needed for someone to make a Dao skill like that.
'Dao Insights of Air that can create such illusions with no traces… and her earlier words… no doubt she's a celestial…' Xukong understood.
This made Xukong a bit alert as the woman was certainly something that Lin Mu couldn't handle. In fact, it was the strongest person that he had faced till now.
'I can't sense her properly right now, and I probably shouldn't alert her to my presence either. No saying what will happen…' Xukong had tens of thoughts at once.
He reckoned, the best option was to just resolve Lin Mu's inquiry first. Since she had not shown any hostility, Xukong could only hope that she didn't want to do anything bad. Otherwise Xukong would have to interfere and it wouldn't be good.
'At least this world wouldn't break apart with my interfering. Though the Immortal Court will not be pleased.' Xukong knew.
"What is a legacy sect, Senior?" Lin Mu questioned, realizing that Xukong had awakened.
"A Legacy Sect is a great sect that has existed for a long time. While there is no exact time limit for one to become a legacy sect, informally it is all those sects who rose from the cultivators of the Primordial path.
The ancestors of these sects had made their own techniques and then established sects. Each sect that has survived till now that has direct lineage from such an ancestor can be called a Legacy sect." Xukong explained.
Lin Mu knew that most of the cultivation sects actually derived their cultivation techniques from other cultivation techniques. Thus it couldn't be said that they were 100% original.
Only those who had comprehended an entirely new cultivation technique after Millions of years of pondering or those that followed the Primordial path would have original techniques.
While the two categories of original cultivation techniques seemed similar, there was actually a great difference.
It was the fact that an entirely original cultivation technique made by an old expert was only made because the cultivator had already experienced a lot of things.
The cultivation technique they would make would also be complete having all the steps needed to reach their current stage from the basics.
But it was not the same for the people of the primordial path, for them their cultivation technique was an ongoing work. It would progressively get better as they continued to cultivate.
After all, they made the technique as they progressed.
But following the primordial path was very difficult the further one went. It wasn't even the matter of comprehension, but the matter of survival itself.
One would face external dangers on their cultivation journey that might make them die.
Thus it could be said that each legacy sect was something that was made by the most successful followers of the primordial path.
Having learned all this, Lin Mu wondered what he should tell the veiled woman.
"So what do I tell her senior? I'm clearly not from a sect." Lin Mu asked. "Should I just tell her I'm not from a legacy sect?"
"Mmmhmm, while you are not from a legacy sect you can be considered part of a legacy." Xukong spoke. "Tell her you are the founder of your legacy." He stated.
"Will that be fine?" Lin Mu raised a brow.
"In cases such as this it is best not to lie. And this is certainly not a lie. You have embarked on this path alone before I even arrived. Since she can tell you follow the primordial path, she will also know if you are lying." Xukong explained.
"Very well senior." Lin Mu looked at the veiled woman. "I am part of a legacy, but not a legacy sect." He spoke.
"Oh? An individual legacy? Or a small lineage?" The veiled woman asked.
She knew that Legacy sect weren't the only people who could have followers of the primordial path. They were simply the largest group and most likely faction that one could belong to.
Other than the legacy sects, there were also certain followers of the primordial path who didn't start a sect. Instead they passed on their legacy to just a single disciple.
