Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2195  Setting A Base

Lin Mu continued to think while working on the arrays.

ʼIt is best that we avoid injuries as much as we can. We still donʼt know how long weʼll be stuck here.ʼ Lin Mu thought of as far as he could.

Runes flew all around him while the brush turned into a blur. It never stopped moving, and drew out long lines that wound together to form more runes.

It was as if Lin Mu was simply drawing a single string that got tangled in unique ways.

For most people that saw this, it would be baffling how Lin Mu was doing this, as writing runes was a very systematic. A single wrong stroke could cause the rune to collapse and when one was making so many there were bound to be some mistakes.

And a formation needed a large collection of runes to form, thus mistakes had an even greater chance of happening.

Then there was a formation array that held multiple formations, further increasing the chances of errors.

Despite all that, it felt like Lin Mu was taking shortcuts as he simply let the brush guide his hand. He merely had to think and the brush would write the rune for him.

Of course, this was a very energy heavy task, but for Lin Mu who had increased his Immortal Qi stores, he could do this for days on end. He was also replenishing his Immortal Qi at the same time, though it was a bit difficult.

ʼThere are foul energies mixed in the air… Absorbing Immortal Qi becomes difficult as they seemingly interfere in it.ʼ Lin Mu thought to himself.

His mind was still able to handle these tasks at once and allowed him to analyze the difficulty with it. It was something that might have made many formation masters cause errors, but Lin Mu didnʼt have that issue.

His work was highly impressive to Daoist Chu and he was almost mesmerized by it.

While he was a formation master too with decent achievements, he was still below Lin Mu in terms of proficiency.

ʼDaoist Mu Linʼs skills with formations are more than enough to make him a High Elder… Would he be interested in taking up a position perhaps?ʼ Daoist Chu wondered.

He was sure that the Patriarch and elders of his sect wouldnʼt mind it at all. After all, Lin Mu had several laurels on his head including being the winner of the Tournament of the Four Guardian beasts.

There werenʼt many powers that would say no to someone like this.

But all this was a matter for the future as he had to focus on handling his side of the work.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

Daoist Chu started with throwing out formation flags that created a stable zone before using hundreds of talismans to further reinforce them. ʼNow to connect the defensive nodes.ʼ Daoist Chu manually drew runes to make intricate connecting formations that fit perfectly in the nodes.

Harmonious connections were made between the talismans and the formation flags, as a barrier was soon erected.

~HUALA~

The barrier was shaped like a dome on the surface, but in reality it was a complete sphere. There was no way they were leaving an underground path open for enemies to infiltrate from.

It was one of the very first things that was taught to him as many amateur fomentation masters forgot to set up underground defenses.

They would think that no one would dig and enter from the ground, as it would cause a commotion and would also take a lot of effort.

They also relied on their immortal sense to detect things all the time, which made them complacent.

But Lin Mu and the group was not dealing with just humans here. They were dealing with Chimeric beasts that could very well have uncanny abilities that could easily allow them to bypass something as simple as this.

They might even be able to dig without a sound, if they were specialized in it. And considering the fact that chimeric beasts had features and abilities of multiple beasts, it was a high on the possibility scale.

The size of the barrier was quite big too, as they wanted enough space to defend as well as retreat. But since they were only at the initial stages, Daoist Chu also didnʼt want to make it too wide as that could lead to it becoming weaker.

As such the current size of the dome was a kilometer wide. ʼWe can always expand this later, Iʼve kept the nodes flexible.ʼ Daoist Chu reckoned.

With the initial barrier set up, Daoist Chu got to reinforcing it further and working on the natural structures that were already present in the dome.

There was a mountain, along with two smaller hills that were growing at its sides. The mountain didnʼt seem to be that special, and had the same color as the rest of the soil that was present in the spatial plane.

Though in the hills, Daoist Chu detected a few interesting things.

”Huh… This can come in handy…” Daoist Chu smiled as an idea appeared in his mind. He waited for a bit and watched Lin Mu, until he could tell that there was an avenue for break for him.

”Daoist Mu Lin, can you come over for a minute?” he requested.

”Sure,” Lin Mu said, leaving the brush.

~HUALA~

The Rune Shaping Brush floated in the air and continued the work on its own.

”Oh wow… it can do that too?” Daoist Chu hadnʼt expected that. ”As long as it isnʼt too complex and is within the range of my Immortal sense, there are no issues in letting it work.” Lin Mu replied.

”The Formation Hall master of my sect will die from envy if he heard about your Dao Embryo.” Daoist Chu could only smile wryly before directing Lin Mu to what he wished to show. ”Scan these hills.”

~SHUA~

Lin Mu did as told and detected several interesting materials within.

”Looks like we have a natural offense prepared for us.”
