Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

"That should be enough, Little Shrubby." Lin Mu spoke.

"This is deep enough?" Little Shrubby withdrew his claws.

"Yep. We don't need it to be that big. After all, we have the Sleepscape." Lin Mu replied.

"Okay~" Little Shrubby nodded his head and returned to his smaller cat form.

He looked comically small next to the hill of soil and rocks next to him.

Having arrived in the central area of the Blood Strewn Plains, Lin Mu's goal was now to find an Immortal Stone Mine. But he also knew that it would not be an easy task.

Thus in order to do it efficiently, he decided to do it systemically. Since it was hard to tell the location in the Blood Strewn Plains, Lin Mu first decided to plot his own map by dividing the area around this location into multiple sections.

The current location would be their temporary base, and they would go on expedition from here, gathering all the resources as well as searching for the traces of an Immortal Stone Mine.

It was going to be a tall task, but Lin Mu had plenty of time. At the same time he would be able to continue his other work too, and further progress his cultivation base.

He couldn't help but feel nostalgic doing all this.

'It's just like those times when we lived in the caves away from settlements…' Lin Mu recalled his history of hiding.

The difference no was that he wasn't exactly running away from anyone. He was merely doing a little excavation venture while also cultivating at the same time.

It wasn't anything unusual and many cultivators would do the same.

It wasn't unknown for cultivators to enter the Desolate Blood Battlefield for a decade before returning.

After all, while the environment inside it was harsh, it also all the resources one needed to survive within it. Albeit, it was difficult to obtain them.

But at the same time, if one was lucky enough they would be able to obtain a fortune that might last them for hundreds of years to come as well as allow them to breakthrough to a high realm.

"Well then, let's start." Lin Mu began his process of making a base.

He had first gotten Little Shrubby to dig a cave since there weren't many places to stay in the Blood Strewn Plains. Plus, it was easier to hide underground, rather than staying up above the surface.

Then there was also the fact that there were a few formations that we wished to use. Having built the Formation pavilion, he had become a bit interested in construction, which used different application of the formations.

As such, he wanted to study them more, and thus wanted to make a new kind of a cultivators cave.

After the cavity for the cave was made, Lin Mu first made a large scale reinforcing array that would prevent it from collapsing. Next, he added an earth elemental array that would compact and harden the soil around the cave, further strengthening it.

The Earth Elemental formation array he had used was usually used in making the foundations of buildings, as it made them tougher and more stable. But in Lin Mu's case, it could also be used for a cave like this.

Having added these two arrays, he then made the usual illusory formations to hide it from plain sight. He then combined it with an isolation formation and turned it into an entire illusory array.

"The base is done… now to add the other features." Lin Mu was not done yet.

Next he went to a nearby stream that was flowing in the opposite direction.

~SHING~

Lin Mu took out his sword and slashed in a straight line, going towards the cave.

~SHUA~

The sword light created a long channel that made the stream change its path. It now curved around the location of the cave.

Lin Mu went back and made a few more changes, such as making a tube that would bring the water of the stream underground. In there, it would accumulate in a pool, allowing them to make use of it for several things.

Several more minor formations were added to the cave before it was completed a day later.

~Phew~

Lin Mu let out a breath, looking at his first properly made immortal cave.

The cave had everything an average immortal might need, except an Immortal Qi gathering array.

But that was only because Lin Mu was lacking the skill as well as the method to make one. Not to mention, making an Immortal Qi gathering array here would be overkill for a cave that Lin Mu was only going to use temporarily.

"So he's finally done." The Saintess had been watching Lin Mu's work since the start and was surprised he had done all this.

Just like before, she had made a set of table and chairs, using them to calmly observe everything.

To Lin Mu, this had become a normal thing, but if others were to see a veiled woman sitting in the same place for over a day staring, they would be quite unnerved.

Though that wasn't all the Saintess was doing, she was also keeping her senses alert and observing everything that was happening around the area. Her senses could go way beyond what Lin Mu's could, but she didn't tell this to Lin Mu.The source of this content is ɴovel(F)ɪre

She liked that he was cautious and prepared, thus she didn't want him to get careless because of her being there. Him getting extra practice was just the cherry on top.

~HISS~

The twins lifted their head, looking at the Saintess.

Their usual spot now had become the table where the Saintess sat, and she also quite liked that. They naturally felt close to her and were comfortable around her. It also gave the Saintess the chance to study them properly.

Just like this, a strange scene of peace had been created.

But unknown to Lin Mu and his companions, an uproar was happening among the powers of the Rust Sky Kingdom.
