Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 1456 An Unexpected Delay

Chapter 1456 An Unexpected Delay

Talking to Shu Shaoxing, Lin Mu felt a bit interested.

"Gra.s.ses specifically? And not just Herbs?" Lin Mu asked for clarification.

"Yes." Shu Shaoxing enthusiastically nodded his head. "I believe gra.s.ses hold the key to a great breakthrough to immortality."

"Why so?" Lin Mu asked again.

"While there are many kinds of herbs whether they be in the form of entire plants, roots, leaves, trees, or more, gra.s.ses are special. They are quite resilient in general and can grow in several harsh environments.

My studies so far have showed that gra.s.ses have the highest survival rate among the various herbs too!

Thus I am looking for gra.s.ses that can transfer this resilience to others too. I wish to nurture a gra.s.s that can be used as an immortal ingredient. A gra.s.s that can give one resilience to survive harsh conditions.

After all, one can become immortal by cultivation but they can still be killed.

My life's goal is to find something that can change that." Shu Shaoxing explained in detail.

Hearing all this, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel a bit impressed by the man.

'At least he's got a good goal and is motivated for it.' Lin Mu was reminded of Jing Luo and Jing Wei a bit from this too.

"That's a great aim, I would say." Lin Mu praised.

"Of course! I wish to be know as the Greatest Gra.s.s Cultivator!" The man almost shouted.

Lin Mu could almost feel the enthusiasm oozing off his body.

He looked around and saw that no one was bothered with Shu Shaoxing as there were others talking loudly too. Since they were all just waiting, there wasn't much for them to do anyways.

Lin Mu and Shu Shaoxing talked for a while more before they felt like the people around them were getting a bit restless/

"It's almost time isn't it?" Lin Mu spoke while looking around.

"Yeah, it should be about time." Shu Shaoxing agreed. "Let's see what's the issue." He said before walking up to one of the workers.

"Why hasn't the array been activated? Isn't it almost time?" Shu Shaoxing inquired.

"I'm sorry, but we can't activate the array yet. We are waiting for someone." The worker apologized.

"Waiting for someone?" the others that heard this were surprised.

"Since when did you guys wait to activate the array?"

"Yes, isn't the policy to activate the array regardless of whether someone arrives or not?"

The people were feeling confused and upset.

Seeing that the situation was turning towards the bad direction, the workers tried to placate the travelers.

"We're sorry, but the one we're waiting for is someone important. The orders are from the Imperial place itself." The supervising head appeared at this.

"Orders from the Imperial Palace?" Upon hearing this most of the people calmed down.

"Who could be coming for the imperial palace to give such an order?" the people wondered.

"It must be someone very important as they wouldn't give such an order for anyone else. Some at the ministerial position at the very least." A merchant spoke.

Lin Mu and Shu Shaoxing also wondered who could be coming for there to be such a delay. After all, the delay in activation wasn't as simple as just waiting. It was also a loss of immortal stones.

While it might seem like the array was lying dormant, it actually was not.

For a teleportation array of this scale, it needed to be charged and prepared for at least a day. So if the array's activation was delayed, it would lose a certain amount of Immortal Qi that was supplied to it.

And to keep the array at its charged state one would have to keep on channeling more immortal Qi into it.

Thus it was very rare for the activation of a Transcontinental Teleportation Array to be delayed.

The travelers could only wait for a while more and hope that they could get to their destination early.

About fifteen minutes pa.s.sed like this before the supervisor appeared again.

"We shall be starting the array soon, everyone please move into the Teleportation circle." The supervisor announced.

"Oh? Did the last traveler arrive?" Shu Shaoxing wondered who might it be.

But since the door hadn't opened yet, it was clear that no one new was here.

There were other people wondering about it too, but for now they needed to rush to the Teleportation circle.

~RUMBLE~

Two large doors were opened, revealing the ma.s.sive circular hall that was located inside it.

This was the main area of the entire building and took up most of its area.

Upon entering Lin Mu could see the glowing arrays that were carved onto the floor. There were thousands of runes floating in the air as well as others that were drawn on the walls.

Lin Mu could recognize some of the subordinate formations within the array, and even saw the channeling formations that supplied the Immortal Qi to the array.

'The main source of immortal Qi should be below this.' Lin Mu could see that the channeling formations came from the edges of the hall and they headed downwards through small holes.

~step~step~step~

And while everyone was moving into the teleportation channel, they heard loud steps. It felt like a beast was coming in and they all felt an imposing pressure as well.

Several of the people that were at the back, including Lin Mu and Shu Shaoxing saw the final traveler.

The person they had been waiting for had finally arrived.

"It's him?" Lin Mu was surprised.

"No way!" Shu Shaoxing was shocked and so were a lot of other people. "I heard that he was in city, but never expected him to be the last one…"

Lin Mu had never thought that he would be meeting this person so soon.

'And here we thought it would take years…' Lin Mu gazed at the Steel Horned General who was now entering the teleportation circle.

The large and imposing man walked towards the circle as well, before coming to a stop next to Lin Mu.

"So you're here too."
