Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 1773 Prep Before The Round

While it was enough for Lin Mu to sense the movements inside the Spatial Plane, it was still not possible for him to interact with anything wit the limitation that were still in force.

ʼBut I donʼt need to use Qi to interact in the first place… I merely needed an entrance for the Nine Divine Heart Sutraʼs to work!ʼ Lin Mu smiled.

As long as Lin Mu could observe someone and there was a way to link to the person, the Nine Divine Heart Sutraʼs worked. Only when the space was entirely isolated, would it not work.

ʼWhile it might use a lot more energy for me to use the sutras at such a distance, it should still work.ʼ Lin Mu estimated he had the capacity needed for it.

~HUMM~

It was at this time, that his Identity token trembled as new information appeared in it. Lin Mu quickly checked it and found that his match was actually among the first four matches!

”Looks like Iʼll be going first…” Lin Mu muttered. ”And so will Third Prince Feng Baxing.” He checked the other matches as well.

A total of eight contestants were fighting, two each in a single Spatial Plane. Lin Muʼs opponent wasnʼt the Third Prince thankfully but was another cultivator that he hadnʼt seen so far.

”Tian Ning… Hmm, Iʼll have to look into him.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Since the person had managed to last this long, it was clear that he was capable.

”Youʼre gonna depart?” The Saintess asked while sitting at her cloud table.

”Yes… the match will be in six hours from now.” Lin Mu answered. ”I best be there and rendezvous with my companions.”

”Go on then. Youʼll do well… you already managed to find a flaw that would infuriate the formation masters of the temple.” The Saintess said, a bit of amusement in her voice. ʼHe could really bring those arrogant masters down a few pegs…ʼ she thought.

Lin Muʼs eyes lingered on the Saintess for a second before moving onto the sleeping beast right on the table.

”Letʼs go, Little Shrubby.” Lin Mu called out.

~YAWN~

”Is it time?” it was clear that Little Shrubby had just woken up from a nap.

”Yep, come on.” Lin Mu said, prompting Little Shrubby to leap towards him.

~shua~

Little Shrubby turned into a flash of light that was quickly sent into the Sleepscape.

With the beast safely tucked away, Lin Mu bid farewell to the Twin snakes and left the Courtyard. He contacted Luo Liqin and found out that they were already waiting at the Spring Valley Restaurant for a while now. Lin Mu made his way there and reached it after some time.

”Brother Mu Lin, come!” Lu Xu called out.

”You guys were here already?” Lin Mu asked.

”Yeah, we came here yesterday.” Lu Xu replied. ”We wanted to call you too, but Luo Liqin said that you might still be busy cultivating.”

”I guess you can say that.” Lin Mu nodded his head.

What he was doing earlier was indeed a bit sensitive, and it was best for him to have not been disturbed at that time.

”Letʼs go up, I have a few things to tell you all.” Lin Mu said before they went to the room.

”Welcome, Brother Mu Lin,” The Ming sisters said with a smile, while Qian Wen cupped his hands in greeting.

Luo Liqin on the other hand was setting up something and was carrying a large marble plate. Lin Mu noticed that and was surprised.

”Whatʼs that?” He questioned.

”The Betting Pavilion upgraded our privilege.” Luo Liqin answered. ”Now I donʼt need to go there personally to place bets.”

”What?” Lu Xu was surprised to hear that.

”Yeah, our profits were good enough that they considered me a big player.” Luo Liqin replied. ”We can use this plate to place bets as needed.” He gave a short explanation.

”Oh it works for all of us?” Qian Wen was intrigued.

”Yes. Itʼll make it easier for us and save us time.” Luo Liqin answered.

”Thatʼs good.” Lin Mu smiled. ”Because I think weʼll be needing it.”

”Ah yeah, brother Mu Lin has something to tell us.” Lu Xu stated.

”What is it?” Ming Dandan inquired.

Lin Mu told them about the changes that had happened with the Spatial Planes this time. Since the others werenʼt as versed as him in Space and formations, they couldnʼt tell what was actually happening. But once they learned of the details from Lin Mu they were stunned.

”You actually managed to find a flaw and enter the Spatial Plane just like that?!” Qian Wen couldnʼt believe his ears.

”It did take me ten hours to do that.” Lin Mu nodded his head.

”Still… ten hours to infiltrate a great array like that… Even ten days might still be enough to shock the others.” Lu Xu muttered.

”Wonʼt this make it difficult for you to act though now?” Ming Aolian inquired.

”I should still be able to do the same as before. And since there are just four fights, I can do the same for all of them.” Lin Mu replied.

”But didnʼt you say that it took you ten hours to access just one of them? Your fight starts in six hours. How will you manage it?” Ming Aolian asked.

”Iʼve got the grasp on it. I think I should be able to do it again in a shorter time.” Lin Mu replied.

They felt a lot better after hearing that and trusted in Lin Mu.

”Also, wonʼt it be different for the different Spatial Planes?” Qian Wen suddenly realized.

”Actually, not.” Lin Mu shook his head. ”They made the Spatial Planes close enough that they are basically like four rooms separated by walls. The arrays that cover them coat them entirely on the outside. I just need to explore a bit more to gain access the other planes too.” He explained.

Since they couldnʼt exactly ʼseeʼ the structure of the Spatial planes, it was out of their thoughts. But after being explained by Lin Mu, they understood it better.
