chapter 2554 a pilgrimage
learning about xukong's history was always interesting to lin mu, and he had long since wished to know more about his master.
but it wasn't something he could just demand and needed to wait until xukong thought he met the requirements for it. after all, the secrets hidden in xukong's background were not something that could be heard without a cost.
lin mu ruminated over what xukong had told him while temple head xing duyi continued to set up his barrier. he watched the old man work and found it to be rather beautiful on some level.
'the temple head is a lot more proficient at spatial skills than i am,' lin mu understood upon observing him for a while.
if one considered pure power, lin mu was certainly above the temple head since his skills came from the ring itself. but the one thing that differentiated the two was the utilization of the spatial qi itself.
lin mu hadn't reached the point where he could fully use it himself and needed the ring's assistance to do so. the way he did that was to use normal immortal qi and let the ring convert it into spatial qi, activating the skills that way.
but xing duyi did all that on his own.
lin mu could see the spatial qi inside the man's body that looked like a sea of mercury.
at the same time, however, lin mu also saw several impurities mixed in with it.
'when the ring uses spatial qi, it is completely pure, but the one xing duyi is using has impurities in it.' lin mu tried to see just what kind of impurities they were and soon discovered they were strands of turbulent spatial qi.
while this was also spatial qi, it was not something that could be controlled by a cultivator. it would simply go haywire if one tried to manipulate it. not to mention, the danger it posed was also a lot higher.
it was the type of spatial qi most abundant in the void and often the cause of death for those who wandered there.
'so he couldn't cleanse it,' lin mu figured.
thirty minutes passed as xing duyi finally finished the spatial isolation barrier.
these were like ripples on the surface of a pond that wished to travel far but were contained by the walls of the pond.
the insides of the rift were dark, but occasional flashes of spatial energy could be seen. it looked almost the same as any other void, but xing duyi knew it truly was the grand void.
'the density of spatial energy in there is simply too massive.' the man could feel the fluctuations, even from outside.
'what do i do now, senior?' lin mu asked.
"now you wait," xukong replied and went silent.
xing duyi was also silent and didn't ask why they were just waiting now. he had waited for this moment his entire life and didn't mind waiting a while longer.
unknown to the two, a set of ten eyes opened up in the depths of the grand void.
these eyes were not visible in the rift lin mu had opened, as they were in a different region, but despite being far, they observed nonetheless.
sigh
"i should never have agreed to assist the old monster's disciples with their 'pilgrimage,'" xukong muttered to himself. "i should just get this over with."
he then pointed one of his massive legs toward the direction of the spatial rift lin mu had opened and another leg toward an unknown direction.
huala
the spatial rift began to change its orientation and turned toward the direction that xukong was pointing with his other leg.
to lin mu and xing duyi, though, no change seemed to have occurred as the background of the grand void simply looked different to them. it wasn't as if they could pinpoint locations just from the streaks of spatial energy.
once the spatial rift was facing the right way, xukong released thousands of tiny threads that were invisible to the naked eye. to those with spatial perception, however, they looked like the finest silk ever seen.
