Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 1889 Shattered Crystal

Chapter 1889 Shattered Crystal

The next day had arrived, and Lin Mu still hadn't left the bedroom.

The Saintess didn't mind this as she knew that Lin Mu needed the rest. She herself wasn't in the courtyard right now.

Instead, she was high up in the upper layers of the Rust Sky World's atmosphere. She sat on one of the many asteroids that circled it and was cultivating.

~Sigh~

'While the Rust Sky world is close to an upgrade, its Celestial Qi production is still very low… Without being bound to it, I can barely extract a few wisps.' The Saintess thought to herself.

Her attention was split into several places too.

On one hand, she was cultivating and gathering energy while on the other hand, she was observing the land below her. With her senses, she could perceive a major part of the Dao Wind Empire as well as all that was happening within it.

She also paid particular attention to the Hundred Fruits Pavilion where Lin Mu was deep in sleep.

She checked it every once in a while, waiting for Lin Mu to awaken.

From time to time, she would also check the 'top experts' of the Rust Sky world and what they were doing.

'The three emperors are still here… looks like they're still processing what to do. Though at least Emperor Feng was smart enough to push the credit to the Temple of the Four Guardians.

It made it a lot more believable and also gave it legitimacy.' The Saintess approved of the man's actions.

After all, she had asked him to do something and the man had delivered.

But on the other hand, she was still displeased due to the actions of the Third Prince.

~shua~

Her senses went to the location of Feng Baxing which was one of the buildings within the Temple of the Four Guardians.

Unlike the other buildings, this place looked rather grim and had a suppressive aura.

Anyone who approached this building would find it very uncomfortable and would feel nervous the entire time.

And this was understandably so as this was no common building. This was none other than the prison of the Temple of the Four Guardians.

Those who had broken the laws of the temple, whether they be members or not were kept here. Of course, their punishments varied and similarly, there were different sections within the prison.

Those who had done light crimes or rule breaks were kept in the outermost section.

The security here looked to be lax on the surface, but any formation master would be able to tell that the lack of guards here was intentional. There were arrays within the prison that steadily drained the Qi of all those who were imprisoned within it.

As such, the member guards didn't really need to enter it unless it was necessary or for some tasks.

The prisoners were kept in control through the multiple arrays and couldn't escape it.

Feng Baxing was the same, but he was kept in the innermost section of the prison. His body was still in an unconscious state but his fleshy injuries had been healed.

But the man's meridian and Dantian were still damaged, leaving him a cripple.

His appearance also looked a lot different than before, with his hair being a mix of salt and pepper.

Wrinkles had also appeared on his face while his muscles degenerated. The man looked to have lost at least ten kilograms of weight on the surface and was skinner than before.

Any cultivator, whether they be immortal or mortal, would know what this was.

'His longevity is draining fast… Since he hasn't practiced body cultivation he'll continue to age.' The Saintess thought as she gazed at the person who had dared to attack Lin Mu.

The temple and the healers of the imperial court had fed Feng Baxing life saving treasures which had healed him and would let him keep his life. But it was unknown when he would be able to awaken from his coma.

The Saintess estimated that Feng Baxing had a year or two to live. If his meridians and Dantian were not healed in this time, he would run out of longevity and die.

'Even if he didn't die, he would still be serving the Temple as a slave for the rest of his life.' The Saintess knew the man's fate was sealed.

Her gaze lingered for a minute more before she withdrew and focused on cultivation.

Back at the Hundred Fruits Pavilion, Lin Mu was still asleep. He had tried to find the unknown object over a hundred times by now, and it was past noon in the real world.

"One minute…" Lin Mu had finally cut down the time to just sixty seconds.

The progress wasn't linear and there were pauses in between, but slowly Lin Mu's understanding of the s.p.a.ce continued to grow. And now he could sense the fluctuations within the Spiral Flake Crystal clearly.

'One… two… three… four… five… now it shifts.' Lin Mu counted the waves of fluctuations before making his Immortal sense move at a great speed. 'Pause for a count of three and now!" It reached a new location within the crystal and shot towards a particular location.

~FLICKER~

This time around though, Lin Mu's immortal sense directly touched something.

It was no longer immaterial and felt like something corporeal.

"Is this it?" Lin Mu muttered as he observed the unknown object that he had been searching for so far.

It was in the shape of a small polyhedral crystal and had shimmering sparkles within it.

Upon grasping the crystal within the crystal with his Immortal sense, Lin Mu didn't let it go.

~shua~

A few seconds later, Lin Mu saw the polyhedral crystal turn dull, the shimmering sparkles within it disappearing. At the same time, his sensitivity to the s.p.a.ce suddenly spiked!

'This…' Lin Mu felt like the crystal had rapidly improved his proficiency with the s.p.a.ce. "At least… ten percent!" it was a growth that Lin Mu would not have expected.

~SHATTER~

But then a few moments later, the Spiral Flake Crystal in his hand shattered, his immortal sense ejecting out of it.
