Martial Void King Chapter 198

Chapter 198

Travel

Chu Shen went into the Majestic Sword Academy with his mother. Master Lang heard, and came out to greet them. “Ah, disciple. You’ve decided to return. So, what have you decided to do about the Blazing Tiger Sect?”

Chu Shen shook his head. “The Blazing Tiger Sect is no more. I killed the sect master and their ancestor. Their elders are gone, too. Quite frankly, I doubt they will survive past a week.”

Master Lang was shocked, and couldn’t think of anything to say. Finally, he rubbed his neck. “I am sorry I couldn’t be there to support you, Chu Shen. It makes me feel as though I didn’t do much as a master.”

Chu Shen shook his head. “No. You helped forge my character, both you and dad. No matter what, I look at you as I would have with him.”

Master Lang nodded sadly. “I miss him, Chu Shen, I really do. He was like a brother to me.”

Chu Shen smiled. “I know.”

For the next week, Chu Shen rested and recovered. He spent time with his mother. It felt great to relax, especially since he didn’t have the threat of his mom being kidnapped dangling over his head. 

Cultivating non-stop was too stressful on the mind. Taking a break every now and then wasn’t detrimental to training, it was actually quite beneficial. One must reward hard work properly, and Chu Shen had certainly worked hard.

Eventually, Chu Shen had to return back to his training regime. At the end of the week, he called out Master Ti Wu to ask him about the next phase of training. 

“Master Ti Wu, are you there?” Chu Shen whispered into the gauntlet on his arm. His soul form slowly floated out of the Voids Hand.

“What is it, brat? I was taking a nice nap in here.”

Chu Shen bowed. “Apologies, master. I’m ready to start my training back up again. What should I do first?”

Master Ti Wu shook his head. “No.”

Chu Shen was stunned. “What do you mean, no?”

Master Ti Wu sighed. “Did you forget? I wanted you to scout out the Five Heavenly Mountain Sect when you got back.”

Chu Shen smiled sheepishly. “Yeah, I kinda forgot all about that.”

Master Ti Wu slapped Chu Shen upside the head. “Ungrateful brat! Remember your commitments clearer next time. Anyway, I’ll modify one of the charms that are on your Chains of Transportation. I’ll modify the one that takes you to the Majestic Sword Academy.”

Chu Shen nodded. “Alright. By the way, why did you choose that charm?”

Master Ti Wu sighed. “Stupid as always, brat. It’s because you can just walk outside and make another one. I would recommend it actually, since you need a way to get back.”

Chu Shen nodded. “I’ll do that right away, then.”

“While you’re at it, do you want to tell Chrissa, Aslo, and Lucas about your trip? Do you want to take them along?”

Chu Shen thought about it before shaking his head. “I’ll tell them, but it shouldn’t take too long, so I won’t take them with me. They’ll draw more attention than if it’s me by myself.”

Master Ti Wu nodded. “Good choice.”

Chu Shen quickly made another charm before gathering his friends together. Then he told them about how he was going to go to a different dimension with Master Ti Wu. They all reacted differently when they found out that Chu Shen wanted to go there alone. 

Aslo lost interest in going after finding out that it was simply a scouting mission. Lucas seemed accepting of the fact that Chu Shen wanted to go alone. Chrissa was the only one that seemed to truly want to go with him. 

Finally he was able to convince her not go, saying that one person would draw less attention than two. While she accepted his logic, Chrissa was still very reluctant to let him go alone.

He told Master Lang that he was going into closed-door cultivation in order to not complicate things too much. Shortly after, Chu Shen entered his room. Master Ti Wu floated out of the gauntlet. “Are you ready, brat? We are going to my dimension.”

Chu Shen nodded. “Yeah, I’m ready.”

Master Ti Wu also nodded. “Good.”

He spread his hands. His universe appeared around him, before turning into pure soul energy. The soul energy turned into inscription runes before floating towards a charm on the Chains of Transportation.

The charm started to glow with a bright blue radiance. Rune after rune landed on the charm, causing the inscription on the charm to start to change. About five minutes after Master Ti Wu started the process, something happened.

The charm flashed, and the blue glow turned dark gray. Soon it became a pure black, the black of the void of s.p.a.ce. Master Ti Wu waved his hand, causing the charm to float towards him. 

He inspected it for a couple seconds before nodding. “It is stable. Channel your Qi into it and you will be teleported to my dimension.” Doing as he said, Chu Shen disappeared from this dimension.

…………………………………………………………………...

When he re-appeared, he was in the middle of a desert. Sand blew into his face as the burning wind blew past him. Chu Shen looked around. “Are we truly in your dimension, Master Ti Wu?”

Master Ti Wu had an arrogant look on his face. “Hmph, doubting your master. The nerve of you, brat. I chose the desert because it is abandoned. No one comes here, and it was very likely that the desert would still be here even after all this time.”

Chu Shen nodded. “Alright. So what should I do now?”

Master Ti Wu shrugged. “Go look for clues. Pay for information, ask at bars and taverns. Just find out all you can about the Five Heavenly Mountains Sect.”
