Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2501  Thrown Into Training And Lady Kangʼs Visit

The discussions and meetings took over a day before Lin Mu was finally able to return to his Courtyard. Once there he couldnʼt help but sit down in the garden and contemplate over all that had happened.

”Looks like yours foe is a former Celestial too.” Lin Mu heard a voice.

”Saintess…” Lin Mu opened his eyes, watching the woman standing there. ”Yes, looks like Yao Changying has another soul inside her.” He replied.

”I heard it all.” The Saintess spoke.

”Ah of course.” Lin Mu knew things like this wouldnʼt have escaped her ears. ”Though theres a couple more things they donʼt know.” He added.

She could easily sense all that was happening within the city as well as the imperial court she didnʼt know what had happened during the mission.

”Oh?” the Saintess was intrigued and soon Lin Mu told her about all that he had learned from the Soul Fragment Lin Mo had consumed.

Hearing that, she was silent for a while and Lin Mu could vaguely sense that she was conflicted about something.

”Withered Spirit Daoist… I think Iʼve heard that name before.” She finally spoke.

”You have?” Lin Mu raise his brows wondering if the Withered Spirit Daoist was well known.

”I think I read a report about her a long time ago. Though it was nothing particular just that she had gone missing about a million years back.” The Saintess answered.

”Was she particularly strong or something?” Lin Mu questioned.

”No… She was on the lower end for a Celestial. It was only her Withering Dao Skills that had made her stronger, but she was not much compared to others.” The Saintess answered. ”To think she would have attempted to become a True Celestial in this way.” She furrowed her brows.

”I see…” Lin Mu felt a bit pleased that the Withered Spirit Daoist wasnʼt well known, because if even the Saintess knew her, it would mean she was a lot more trouble than they would be able to deal with.

”What do you think I should do, Saintess?” Lin Mu decided to ask for her advise.

”Do what you do best… Train, prepare, cultivate.” The Saintess replied. ”Come on now… Youʼve missed a lot of time in the mission.” She waved her finger, causing Lin Mu to fly off immediately.

”Whoa!” Lin Mu quickly returned to his training mode and used the Cloud Dragon Stride to stabilize himself.

By the time he had landed, the lake had already transformed into a sea of clouds and waves began rushing towards Lin Mu.

ʼSheʼs right, this is the best way…ʼ Lin Mu knew as he threw himself into the training.

This time Lin Muʼs focus was fully on the training and he was progressing faster than ever. Wave after wave came at him, but he barely fell. He could dive through them well, finding the lowest concentration of the Cloud Dao Traces.

A week went by like this, after which the Saintess ended her training session, letting Lin Mu consolidate his gains on his own. After that, Lin Mu spent the rest of the time cultivating the Omnicore Ascendancy Technique utilizing the materials that he had obtained from the Treasury Minster.

He still had around half of the materials left which he spent absorbing for around twelve days.

In this time, his companions were all hard at work, attempting to stop the workings of the Black Ying Empire within the City. Thankfully it seemed like the actions of Lin Mu and the Crown Prince earlier had worked in their favor as the activities had greatly reduced.

Little Shrubby was also out there helping them catch all those that were linked to the Black Ying Empire.

Time continued to pass like this and Lin Mu was deep in cultivation for a month after which a person visited him.

”Lady Kang?” Lin Mu saw the woman visiting him along this time.

”Daoist Lin Mu… Itʼs been a while.” Lady Kang greeted him.

The last they had seen each other was at the meeting when he had returned from the mission. But they hadnʼt gotten to talk much other than that. Lady Kang was also busy with her own work as she gathered more and more intel in the empire.

She had connections to other merchant groups in the Huiqing Empire as well as the Holy Topaz Dynasty thus they could get information that was normally hidden. Even things the Emperor was unable to find out were getting discovered through her connections.

”Did you need something?” Lin Mu asked seeing that she was here despite being so busy.

”I found something you might like.” Lady Kang said as she took out a book. The book looked rather old and its pages had turned yellow from time. There were also age marks on it, along with a few tears.

”What books is it?” Lin Mu took it from her, checking the title. ”Insights of the third Grand Tutor.” ”This belonged to the Third Grand Tutor of the Dao Wind Empire. He was the Formation Grandmaster of the empire at that time too and was ether well known.” Lady Kang spoke. ”I hoped this might be of your use. I found it during some work.” She added.

”Oh? Itʼll be good.” Lin Mu quickly flipped through it, finding a lot of new information about formations as well as some signature formations that the Third Grand Tutor had made himself.

”Iʼm glad that you liked it.” Lady Kang smiled.

”Iʼll begin studying it right away.” Lin Mu said as he was quite interested in it. ”We might need it anytime.” He added.

”Of course.” Lady Kang replied. ”Iʼll leave you to it then.” She said before turning around.

Lin Mu waved his hand in goodbye and sat down to read the book.

But while he was doing this, the Saintess appeared in front of Lady Kang in the outer room of the courtyard. ”H-Honored Celestial!” Lady Kang was a bit startled.

”Your body… Why do you have the Astral Star Chart Dao Embryo within you?”
