Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

"It's good that they finally finished setting up the teleportation gates. This will greatly save us time when we need to move around." Lin Mu muttered to himself after seeing the messages.

Overall, there were now eighteen teleportation gates that had been set up. Other than the ones in the Fenlong kingdom, the Hong Lin Kingdom, the Noon Grass sect, Light Harmony Sect, Black Dune sect and the Long Cloud sect, there were twelve more.

These were all set strategically according to what was suggested by the many elders that they now had to support. Overall, from what Lin Mu could now tell, they had a really good reach in at least fifty percent of the Great Zhou Continent.

The only areas where there were no teleportation gates were in the Northern lands where Gu Yao's influence was strong, with the exception of the Eastern Ming Dynasty since the Light Harmony Sect existed there.

There were also no teleportation gates in the south western part of the continent where the Zither wind sect, and the West Ocean sect were located. Those were actually within the scope of the choice for a teleportation gate, but Jing Luo and the rest couldn't find a location that would be safe enough for it.

Jingming Shang was working to get a good location for them that would be hidden as a merchant outpost or a storage warehouse. But with Gu Yao having many spies, the process was a bit difficult as they needed to keep everything safe from even those that were free from Gu Yao's influence, as they could still reveal things unknowingly.

Though Lin Mu was content with the current situation, as it was already many times better than a few months ago.

The second message that he saw in the jade slip was about the Kushao ruins. Lin Mu had told the sects about what had happened at the ruins and its truth. Plus Ku Waowen had corroborated the facts as well, making them lose all the doubts.

This was of course, a shocking revelation to the sects and they had not expected there to be such a conspiracy. The power of the beasts that were there was also quite dangerous and if it were not for Lin Mu destroying the large source of the impure Yin Qi, there was a great chance many stronger Dao Treading realm beasts might have been born. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ (f)ir(e).nᴇt

Thankfully though, with the help of all the top sect people that were there that day, the Kushao ruins were fully cleared out and the remains of the people inside were also retrieved.

It was one of the things that the top sects had wanted to do for many centuries now and they had finally managed to finish that. Additionally, it served as closure for those that had lost their families and members to the ruins.

Most that were in this group were those of the older generations and the ones that had become elders thus, it was overall a good thing as it ended up improving Lin Mu's reputation with the elders.

All those that were identified were given proper funerals as for those that were destroyed beyond recognizing were still given a decent burial.

While the top three sects had not been told about the secret teleportation formation array that was hidden there, the Long Cloud alliance knew of it now. And they were very terrified of something like that.

If there was another such teleportation array within the Great Zhou continent, they all knew just how big of a security risk it was. Thus, one of the goals they had set up was to try and find any such areas with spatial disturbances around them.

And doing this actually turned out to be a safe choice for them as well, such that Gu Yao would not sense anything. This was because there was already an order given out by the Sky Precepts sect to check for spatial disturbances many years ago.

While the other top sects didn't have to fully follow this order, and had mostly ignored it till now, the Long Cloud alliance now had a very good excuse to use it. Additionally, it helped increase the interaction with the Sky Precepts sect too.

After being done with reading it all, Lin Mu took a deep breath, feeling the weight of all that had happened and all that had yet to come.

'We've come a long way…' Lin Mu thought to himself as he looked at the boiling cauldron of liquid gold.

He felt that he was now ready to take the final plunge and floated up into the air.

"I'll be gone for a while… I don't know how long, so be careful. I don't know if I'll be able to respond to others either, so try to see if you can handle things on your own for a while." Lin Mu spoke to Little Shrubby.

"Go on, I can handle everything. You just get strong." Little Shrubby replied with confidence.

"Mm… and before I go. Take this…" Lin Mu said as he chanted the Nurturing heart sutra converting a large amount of his spirit Qi into Beast Qi.

~shua~

A steady stream of Beast Qi flew out of his hand and entered Little Shrubby's body, quickly being sucked in.

"You can also try and breakthrough to the Dao Shell realm while I'm cultivation. Maybe we'll both have a breakthrough." Lin Mu suggested.

"I'll try!" Little Shrubby said, feeling excited.

This was the highest amount of beast Qi he had gotten at once and was happy. His body's ability to handle the beast Qi had increased and thus he could take a larger amount than before now.

In fact, spirit Qi started surging from Little Shrubby's body automatically as his bloodline started to hungrily devour the Beast Qi and improve itself.

"Go on, I'll be right here." Little Shrubby said as he laid just a few meters from the cauldron.

Lin Mu nodded his head and descended into the cauldron.

~hiss~

"See you in a bit… my friend…"
