1312 Waking And Adapting

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and finally rose from his slumber.

He was entirely unaware of all that had happened in the time he had asleep. He simply knew that he had broken through, but didn’t know that his open breakthrough had triggered a great phenomenon that had caused others to breakthrough too.

“This power… it truly is something on a different level.” Lin Mu muttered.

Every muscle, every tissue, every cell of his body was rejoicing as dense vitality flowed through it. With every passing second, it seemed to be improving even more.

“This should be the adaption that Senior Xukong was talking about before. I didn’t adapt to the Immortal world but this breakthrough gave my body the right opportunity.” Lin Mu understand.

Usually this adaption was something that was naturally experience by a cultivator from a mortal world when they broke through from the Immortal Ascension realm and truly ascended.

It was the period between crossing the realms as well as the Ascendancy platform that allowed them to adapt to the new environment. Lin Mu had never gone through this since he hadn’t really ‘ascended’.

He had basically barged into an immortal world, that too the one that was close to World Ascension.

Strictly speaking, he had gone to the very extreme that was possible.

If it weren’t for that fact that he had a strong body and cultivate both body and Qi, he might not have been able to last this long. He might have even experienced Qi deviation and died.

With the five Treasured Organs reaching a harmony, his body adapted and grew stronger.

And it wasn’t just in a physical sense either. Lin Mu could slowly feel the range of his spirit sense widening.

‘Just as I thought… it really was the environment that was stopping it.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

But as his spirit sense started to extend, Lin Mu discovered several things. The biggest being the massive amount of spirit Qi that kept on pouring into the tribe. Then he discovered the Haima Tribe members who had all broken through.

Now the weakest member of the tribe was at the Adult Stage of the nascent soul realm!

As for the strongest, well… that was a huge surprise for Lin Mu too.

“Immortal Ascension realm… Elder Niji reached Immortal Ascension realm!” Lin Mu’s eyes went wide.

Though his shock only lasted for a short while as it soon turned into excitement.

It didn’t take long for Lin Mu to get a complete grasp on the situation after that. He saw the five colored mist that was still present around the tribe. Albeit, by this time it was starting to fade.

Lin Mu also sensed the Dao traces of the five mortal elements within it.

“So this is the reason behind the breakthrough… Those at the Dao Treading realm broke through due to the high amount of Dao Traces. This breakthrough caused spirit Qi to rush towards them, which also caused others to absorb this rich spirit Qi.

Finally, it snowballed into the situation that we are seeing now.” Lin Mu quickly analyzed it.

He had to say though, he would have never expected his breakthrough would cause a huge effect.

“I definitely to thank and reward the Wood Spirit Tulip for this… if it hadn’t given me the Pure Wood Essence I would have never broken through and the other’s either.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

But when the matter of reward came to his mind, Lin Mu couldn’t tell what would be a good reward for the sentient spirit herb.

“Maybe more wood related resources?” Lin Mu wondered.

While Lin Mu thought about this, the five colored mist had thinned out considerably. The Mountain above the Haima Tribe which had become hidden in the mist, was now visible again.

It was obvious that the mist would be fully gone in a few more minutes.

~shua~

But all of a sudden, Lin Mu sensed a stray spirit Qi fluctuation.

“Huh?” Lin Mu raised his brows.

He focused on this stray spirit Qi fluctuation finding it to have come from outside the tribe. Not just that, it was rather mixed, telling him that there were actually multiple sources that were the cause of it.

“This is strange… such a spirit Qi fluctuation shouldn’t be possible in the Land of Exile… it would need several cultivators present together for it to form.” Lin Mu pondered. “And that too, strong cultivators…” he added.

Lin Mu then closed his eyes and extended his spirit sense even more.

By now his range had already returned to the five kilometer mark. This was a great improvement from his older range, which restricted him quite a bit.

“What!?” Lin Mu soon sensed the source of the spirit Qi fluctuation.

It had come from none other than humans.

“Human Exiles… tens of them. All of them are heading here too…” Lin Mu muttered.

He quickly realized that while the five colored mist had been a good phenomenon for them, it had also acted as a great source of commotion. It was even more attractive than the beacon that Lin Mu had set up.

After all, the beacon could only be seen from a limited range. At most one might see it from fifty kilometer away.

But the five colored mist was a lot more pronounced. After all it had covered the entire sky and formed a pillar that reached down before covering the mountain of the Haima Tribe.

It basically screamed out ‘come over and find what I’m hiding!’

“This is gonna be problematic…” Lin Mu’s lips pursed.

While he had set up defenses against Immortal Cultivators, it was only for a limited amount of them.

From the number of sources that were approaching, Lin Mu was unsure of its capabilities.

“No, wait… it is not that bad…” Lin Mu suddenly recalled something. “The Haima Tribe… it is several times stronger than before.” He smiled.

Quickly sending out several messages to the tribe, Lin Mu prepared for the incoming battle.
