Chapter 2510 Reaching The Lost Inds
A wave of energy spread from Lu Xu as Qi started to flow through the two meridians that had be partially blocked. Due to this, they were far too narrow for the right amount of Qi to flow through them, putting the man in a bottleneck.
But now that Lin Mu had forcefully cleared them, Lu Xu felt the surge in power/
~HONGLONG~
Lu Xu''s hair fluttered as the Qi flowed through him, his bottleneck gone.
"It''s solved!?" The man almost couldn''t believe it. He had thought that even if Lin Mu or others could provide him with some pointers, it wouldn''t allow him to resolve it this fast. But this solution was almost instantaneous.
"Looks like it''s working well now." Lin Mu said after observing for a bit. He scanned the man with his Immortal Sense and confirmed that the Qi circuit was now functioning properly.
"T-thank you Brother Lin Mu." Lu Xu cupped his hands and bowed his head in gratitude. "I am further in your debt now." He chuckled.
"It''s okay, this is better for all of us since you will be stronger." Lin Mu replied. "Whoa! Daoist Lu Xu has improved so fast!" the other people on the deck who witnessed it were absolutely stunned.
"C-can we ask for pointers too?" A woman approached and asked carefully.
"Daoist Hwan Sae?" Lin Mu recognized her.
"You remember me!?" The woman was surprised.
"I do. You were there in the Tournament among the top one hundred." Lin Mu had basically memorized all of the top performers.
Hwan Sae hadn''t fought against Lin Mu or any of hispanions back then, but her performance had been good whenpared to the sheer number of participants. "I''m ttered." Hwan Sae had a faint blush on her face as she replied. "Will you really give me some pointers?" she requested.
"Sure, what''s the problem?" Lin Mu listened to the woman''s issue.
But he had no idea that this was just the start of it all and this entire thing would snowball into arge session for all the mission members.
Starting from Hwan Sae, Lin Mu gave pointers to around forty members who were eager for it. Almost all of them had varied issues, some of which were easy for Lin Mu to resolve, while others were harder. Some were simr to Lu Xu''s cases where only a minor problem had been hampering their cultivation, while in other cases it was an issue ofprehension.
Lin Mu actually had a fun time doing this, as not only did he get to learn more about the various cultivation techniques and skills they had, helping others had actually improved his own understanding of cultivation too.
A week went by in this and everyone had gotten a lot closer to Lin Mu now as before this his status as the Imperial Imperator was a bit too high for them. This was despite the fact that they actually had several nobles as well as other experts among them.
The only ones who had been naturally close to him were either those who had worked with him before or those that he had fought.
Though among all, there was just one person whom Lin Mu didn''t get to interact much and that was Childe Wildfire. The man had been inside his room to cultivate ever since getting on board and had note out. Lin Mu had been interested about his skills and the Dao Embryo he used as they were quite strong. He would''ve liked to exchange some insights, but it seemed like the man was going to be out of reach for the time being.
Lin Mu didn''t mind it though and returned to his own cultivation after a couple more days.
The rest of the journey went rtively smoothly, as there wasn''t much that could be done to the ship. The Ocean beasts were either too slow to even attack it, or didn''te close, sensing the Qi fluctuations that wereing from it.
The only problem they faced was the Ocean Storms that forced them to change route or slow down, but the minor ones could be bypassed by simply flying over them.
Everyone focused on cultivation as they grew closer to their destination and the atmosphere grew tenser.
And by the time three months had passed, they could finally see their destination in sight… Or at least that''s what it seemed like on the map.
Everyone stood at the front of the deck as the ship slowed down.
"Are we in the right ce?" Ziran asked, seeing nothing in front.
"It should be right." Daoist Chu took another look at the map and knew that they were right at the edge of the designated target.
"But there''s nothing there." Crown Princess Shang spoke.
In front of them was just an empty expanse of ocean and nothing else. "It might be hidden." Lady Kang said as she narrowed her eyes. "Pyxis wouldn''t be wrong." She added. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"What do you see, Daoist Lin Mu?" Crown Prince Feng Shun, who had been silent since the start asked.
Lin Mu closed his eyes for a moment and activated his Spatial Perception, trying to see if it was hidden behind an array of some kind. ~SHUA~
But after a minute, he furrowed his brows.
"There''s really nothing." Lin Mu was confused.
"Should we just go ahead?" Daoist Chu asked. They had been hesitant in doing this since there was no telling if there was a trap of some kind waiting for them.
"We should send out a scout first." Ziran suggested.
"That will be the wise choice." Elder Hu agreed.
"I can help." A young man spoke up. "I have puppets that are perfect for this. We don''t need to go in personally." "Ah, Young Master Bi Shu." Crown Prince Feng Shun recognized the man. "Please go ahead. Your n''s puppets are well known for this after all." He nodded his head.
The young man was from the Bi n of the capital city that specialized in formation puppets. They weren''t a major n though and since their puppets couldn''t go up against experts, their strength was limited. But what they did have was versatility as such they still had a decent amount of wealth.
"I''ll do my best." Young Master Bi Shu said as he took out a wooden puppet that was shaped like a Hawk.
He used his immortal sense to link up with the hawk and the puppet seemingly came alive. ~WHOOSH~
It pped its wings and quickly soared into the air just like a normal bird would.
~SHUA~
Next, a formation screen appeared from the man''s Bracelet, showing the same view that the Hawk was getting.
"This is rather convenient." Lin Mu was impressed. "It''s not really strong, but if you want to scout out areas, it''s perfect for it." Young Master Bi Shu replied. They watched as the hawk flew for about a kilometer with no issues. But at a certain point, it suddenly started to fall.
"Huh? I can''t control it anymore!" Young Master Bi Shu was surprised.
"Did your connection break?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked.
"No, the connection is still there. The puppet looks to be being restrained somehow." Young Master Bi Shu replied, feeling a bit anxious.
They watched as the hawk continued to plummet towards the water, but just as it was about to fall into it, the hawk stopped.
"It''s floating?" They could see that the hawk was a few inches above the water''s surface now.
"Can you move it?" Lin Mu asked.
"No, it''s still restrained. It''s like a heavy weight is attached to it." Bi Shu replied.
"Strange… I don''t sense any energy there or a formation." Lin Mu was confused.
Mei Nienzhen leaned over the guardrail and looked closely at the water. She stared at it for a good minute before extending her hand.
~SHUA~
An icicle formed on her finger before falling down straight.
It fell through the water with ease and continued to sink.
After five minutes, Mei Nienzhen turned back. "There''s something below the water." Mei Nienzhen spoke. "You sensed something?" Lin Mu inquired.
"I can still feel my icicle. It should have melted already but it''s still there." She added.
"It hasn''t melted? The water shouldn''t be that cold." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied in confusion.
"Could the destination be underwater?" Lady Kang guessed. "That… Might just be it." Lin Mu looked down with his Spatial Perception active and could faintly make out something there. "The moving water makes it harder, but I think there''s something down there now." He realized they had been looking at this the wrong way.
"Sunken Inds… Great." Crown Princess Shang let out a sigh.
"Let''s go down then?" Lin Mu asked, "I''ll head first and see if there''s any danger."
He had the best chance at getting away safely, so it was the best option.
"Very well, do it Daoist Lin Mu." Crown Prince Feng Shun agreed.
