It took Lin Mu about thirty minutes to prepare everything and once he was done, he stepped into the lesser void freely for the first time.


    ~shua~


    The air shifted slightly as Lin Mu passed through the rift in the border of the sacrednd. He could feel the difference almost instantly.


    ''The absence of air… is strange. Not having it on my skin is unusual…'' Lin Mu thought to himself.


    It was a feeling that he had never felt before. And could not have even imagined in the past, as there was simply no way for him to experience this.


    For a normal human, a near vacuum like this would kill them in less than a minute or two. Even for cultivators, traversing the void was not without danger and they wouldn''tst long without protection.


    But Lin Mu was an entirely different case. Not only did he have an affinity with the spatial element, which would help him avoid the chaotic areas in the lesser void and dodge the pockets of chaotic spatial energy that weremon in the void, but it would also be safe from the cold and the near vacuum of the void.


    Lin Mu''s two techniques, the Mortal Strengthening scripture and the True Gold body forging arts, both provided him great durability and endurance. The armor of the Mortal Strengthening scripture prevented his body from directlying in contact with the airless environment of the void while the gold body Lin Mu obtained from the True Gold Body forging arts just made him impervious to most damage.


    Even if didn''t have the armor of the mortal strengthening scripture, he would be fine.


    "The absence of spirit Qi is also unnerving." Lin Mu said after he had traveled a certain distance from the border of the Sacred ground.


    "You will get used to it after a while. Many cultivators can''t adapt to it right away. Some even make the mistake of using their spirit Qi excessively, causing an imbnce in their body." Xukong replied.


    Lin Mu nodded his head and flew towards the world fragment. This made him learn another fact.


    "Moving here is so easy!" Lin Mu said in surprise.


    "There is no gravity, nor air resistance here. Even if you don''t use spirit Qi to fly, you will still float around. And if you fly using it, you will fly faster with no air resistance and gravity pulling you down.


    Your spirit Qi consumption will actually be reduced, if you get the grasp of it." Xukong exined.


    Finding this to be rather enlightening, Lin Mu increased his speed of flying. It took him about an hour before he finally got the right output of spirit Qi.


    Usually in the normal world, the way Nascent soul realm experts flew was by pushing and pulling spirit Qi in the air around them at the same time. But in the void, the method would change.


    They would simply need to expel their own spirit Qi to move.


    One might think that this might end up exhausting their spirit Qi more, as they were simply expressing it and not absorbing it. But it was not exactly that, at least not for all.


    For most cultivators, they simply couldn''t absorb the spirit Qi at the same rate at which they were using it to fly. Unless one had a high absorption speed like Lin Mu, something like that was very difficult.


    But in the void, they only needed to expel spirit Qi at certain intervals. As the momentum they gained wouldst for a long time. One could even stop using their spirit Qi after a certain time entirely and they would keep their momentum, moving for a long time.


    As long as they were not interrupted, they would go on for months or even years.


    It was very simr to flying in the space, but the void came with even more dangers.


    Then there was also the fact that the void was far darker than the space. The space, at least had stars and other celestial bodies lighting it up to a certain extent. But the void didn''t have that.


    It did have flickers of spatial energy and other chaotic phenomena from time to time, but it was never enough to illuminate.


    The empty darkness made one feel rather lonely and ufortable.


    Having a strong spirit sense was important when traversing the void, as it would often be the chief way of observing and ''seeing'' things. Without it, one would be truly blind.


    And even if there was light in the void, there were plenty of dangers that were invisible to the eye. Even spirit sense would have a hard time sensing some of them, and there were even a few that were simply imperceivable.


    If one encountered them, they could only me their luck and perish.


    Lin Mu had his spatial perception on fully power and was also using his spirit sense at the full range. He observed every small change that happened in the void and felt the faint flow of the spatial energy.


    It was very hard to sense, and he could only feel it in intervals.


    Spatial energy was a highly refined and condensed form of the spatial Spirit Qi. It was something that couldn''t be used directly by most beings and would need to be processed into spatial Qi first.


    Thus, most people feared it rather than consider it valuable. Spatial energy could kill one without them even knowing, and even immortals and celestials were not safe from it.


    Lin Mu spent several hours in traveling like this andprehended a lot. He felt his understanding of the space increase little by little and his perception improved as well.


    His lone body floated in the void and eventually reached the destination that he had chosen.


    Lin Mu opened his eyes when he felt the faint gravitational pull of the world fragment.

    "Even at a distance this far, the gravity can still affect me?" Lin Mu was surprised to discover this concept.


    He continued on and finally started to descend to the surface of the world fragment.
