Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 732 - A Funeral And Tribulation

Chapter 732 - A Funeral And Tribulation

Xukong did not know what Lin Mu was going through right now.

'He isn't like this normally… why's he acting like this?' Xukong wondered to himself.

He tried to check Lin Mu's mind but was unable to enter it. He felt like he was blocked and no matter what he tried he could not see anything within it. There wasn't anything within the shared mind s.p.a.ce either so he was left with nothing.

~Sigh~

"He's growing and developing… I need to let him figure things out on his own as well…" Xukong shook his head.

Lin Mu sat there for a few more hours and only moved when another message was sent to him.

"Senior Lin Mu, will you be attending the funeral?" King Hong questioned.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and stood up.

"I'm coming…" Lin Mu said before disappearing from the courtyard.

A few minutes later, he appeared at the royal palace. The vibe of the entire city was somber, and the people seemed to be in mourning. Though the ones that knew of the former adviser were very few, the people still joined in.

Most of the generations of citizens that lived in the city currently didn't even know of the former adviser and even less had lived during the time when he was the adviser. The ones that did live during their time were either old cultivators or the officials.

The funeral was carried out in a grand manner, befitting of the man's contribution and status. It lasted about twelve hours at the end of which the former adviser was finally buried in the royal cemetery, along with the other deceased advisers.

His memorial tablet was then placed in the royal shrine, along with the rest of the ancestors. Lin Mu watched the entire procession silently, without speaking a word. He learned a few things during it as well, but kept them in his mind for now.

A day after the funeral of the former adviser, Lin Mu felt another change in the area.

"It's time for the heavenly tribulation," Lin Mu said as he sensed the spatial fluctuations occurring in the sky.

~shua~

He disappeared from the courtyard and appeared in the sky. He squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, using his spatial perception at the same time. There, he could see the cracks in the fabric of s.p.a.ce and the tribulation energy that stirred within it.

Lin Mu estimated the time of the tribulation and knew that it was not long. He quickly contracted Jing Luo and the others about it.

"You can head on to the tribulation attenuation formation. I already have it ready and the control plate is kept in the abode there as well. You should be able to use it." Jing Luo spoke.

Jing Luo was currently in White River City. It was one of the major cities of the Hong Lin kingdom and was located to the south east border of the kingdom. It was also the only city that was not directly in the forest itself.

Jing Luo would not be able to come back, thus Lin Mu would have to do it himself. The two disciples Hua San and Hua Wu would be acting as the Dharma protectors during that time along with Adviser Liu as well.

"Time to get to it," Lin Mu muttered before he sped to the royal palace.

Using phase, he directly pa.s.sed through all obstacles and appeared in the royal court. It was currently empty and other than the King there was no one else present there. Lin Mu was the first one to detect it, as even the King had yet to fully get the sense of it.

"King Hong… it is time." Lin Mu spoke.

King Hong opened his time and slight confusion could be seen in his eyes. But a second later, his eyes went wide, and he realized what Lin Mu spoke about.

'He knew before me? But isn't this my tribulation?' King Hong was surprised.

~Creak~

The door of the royal court opened and Adviser Liu appeared as well. Lin Mu and sent him a transmission as well, but he had still managed to reach here first.

"Senior Lin Mu's already here?" Adviser Liu was also surprised, but he quickly suppressed it and looked at his nephew.

He too, could feel the fluctuations of s.p.a.ce around his nephew. They were very faint for him, but he knew that was a telltale sign of the heavenly tribulation. All Nascent soul realm cultivators would be able to sense such spatial fluctuation, but not on the level of Lin Mu.

"The tribulation attenuation formation is ready. We should leave. Hua San and Hua Wu have already on their way there as well." Lin Mu spoke.

"Alright," King Hong nodded his head.

Lin Mu waved his hand, and a broad sword appeared in front of him. He sent it to the King and spoke, "get on it, it'll be faster if I take you two there."

"Thank you, senior." King Hong replied with grat.i.tude.

"Adviser Liu should get on too. I'm still faster than you as well. If we go normally, you will be left behind." Lin Mu added.

"As you say, Senior." The adviser said and jumped onto the broadsword as well.

Lin Mu had intentionally picked this spirit weapon since it was the widest and wouldn't have problems in accommodating two or even three people on it. Having done this, the three of them flew up into the sky.

~SHUA~

The commoners could feel a strong wind blowing for a few seconds as they saw a streak moving across the sky at great speed. They could not see what that streak was, but it was certainly the source of the wind.

Lin Mu and the other two reached the mountain where the abode was located in about thirty minutes. The speed at which they traveled was shocking to King Hong and adviser Liu.

While they had heard that Lin Mu was fast, they had not expected him to be this fast!
