Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 587 - Close To Breakthrough

Jing Luo had not seen anyone being able to communicate with beasts like this. While the sects did have some guardian beasts that were at a high cultivation base and had intelligence that was greater than that of man, they still could not speak in the common tongue.

The way sects communicated with them was due to the mutual understanding and writings. While the beasts could understand human languages after learning them, they were still mute in speaking them.

This was the first time Jing Luo was seeing a human speak with a beast like this. This was a direct conversation from what he could understand. No beast tamer in his clan had been able to reach such a level either.

It was simply amazing to him.

”We should leave now, itʼs been a long time.” Lin Mu spoke.

”Yes, while we have finished mining the spirit stones, we still have the other materials left in the upper layers.” Jing Luo replied.

”Hmm… we want to take those with us too, it will be a pity to waste them.” Lin Mu spoke.

”Indeed, they are hard to find in the real world. Weʼll need to figure out a way to get everything done.” Jing Luo stated.

Lin Mu nodded his head, and the two men started flying to the upper levels of the caves. Little Shrubby ran along with them, easily keeping up with his speed. In fact, he was faster than both of them if he used his full speed, so there was no way they could keep up with him anyway.

”Oh, I got an idea!” Lin Mu spoke while traveling.

”What is it?” Jing Luo asked.

”Since weʼre going to need to create a vacuum of spirit Qi in this world, Iʼll simply focus on that. While you, on the other hand, can gather all the materials in this world. Start from the most valuable to the things of least value.

Optimally weʼll take everything. All resources, metals, ores, woods, spirit herbs, even the beasts themselves!” Lin Mu answered.

”Iʼll do my best!” Jing Luo nodded his head.

They finally reached Jing Luoʼs residence at the top and got to their tasks. Jing Luo didnʼt go to get the ores and materials from the tunnels directly, as there were some more preparations he needed to do.

Since they didnʼt know how long it would take for Lin Mu to finish absorbing all the spirit Qi in the minor plane, Jing Luo would have to be ready at all times, prioritizing the critical tasks first and then the rest.

”Do you want me to set up a tribulation attenuation formation?” Jing Luo questioned.

”For little Shrubby?” Lin Mu asked as he took a look at Little Shrubby.

”Yes, it will help him in safely breaking through.” Jing Luo replied.

”I donʼt want. I can do it on my own. It will take up your times,” Little Shrubby suddenly spoke.

”Ah, he doesnʼt want that. Says heʼll do it on his own.” Lin Mu answered.

”I see… if thatʼs what you want, then thatʼs what weʼll do. It should give us more time as well.” Jing Luo said before getting to work.

Lin Mu also left the residence and went to the top of the mountain. The concentration of spirit Qi in the air was still the same as they had seen before, but the main difference was that if it was absorbed now, it will not regenerate.

The Mountain in the minor plane was where there was the highest concentration of spirit Qi as of now and it was also located roughly at the center of the minor plane. Thus it could be said to be the best place for Lin Mu to cultivate.

”This mountain really is way too tall. I donʼt think Iʼve seen any other mountain as tall as this in the Shuang Qian kingdom.” Lin Mu spoke.

”Youʼll see more of them. Mountains that are as big as these usually have unique phenomena associated with them. One of such appearing smaller than they actually are. In fact, this is one of the types of spatial distortions, but because it is natural, it becomes hard to spot for many people.” Xukong explained.

”No wonder it was always the center of the illusion whenever I saw it in the Ripple mist sect.” Lin Mu replied.

Just like this, the man and beast reached the very top of the mountain. There was snow falling here, but despite that, neither of them felt cold. Lin Mu had the body cultivation at the Second Stage of the Five Treasures realm and while also being at the Nascent Soul realm.

As for Little Shrubby, he had an innate control of fire element and also had a good bloodline. Thus he was not affected by this level of cold either. The two of them found a relatively comfortable place at the top and began cultivating.

Lin Mu knew that using Well of slumber would come with the risk that he might not wake up in time, but he was also betting on the fact that the ability was dependent on the presence of spirit Qi along with vital energy.

Plus little Shrubby was yet to break through and thus Lin Mu wanted to wait for him to do that, before using Well of Slumber.

”I should start eating. Better to be safe and have a surplus of vital energy…” Lin Mu said before taking out the beast meat he had ready.

ʼIʼll eat till itʼs the time for Little Shrubbyʼs tribulation, then Iʼll observer it just in case and start the next part of the plan.ʼ Lin Mu thought.

Lin Mu chewed and gnawed on the meat while Little Shrubby cultivated diligently, preparing for the coming heavenly tribulation. Lin Mu could sense the faint increase in spatial distortions with every passing hour and reckoned that when they reached the peak, the tribulation will arrive.

And just as he thought, two days passed swiftly and it was finally time.

~RUMBLE~

Lin Mu looked up at the dark cloudy sky and then at little Shrubby.

”Time to Breakthrough!”
