1380 The End Of Immortal Tribulation
The fall of the teors was greatly changing the area that Lin Mu was located in.
The crater kept on expanding before more of them started to form. Five minutes went by and over a hundred compressed and dense teors had struck Lin Mu’s position by now, leaving Elder Niji and Lanbao nearly speechless.
“How can soone even survive this?” Elder Niji wondered. ‘Even with the support of my own bloodline there isn’t any chance for to bear it at all.’ The man thought to himself.
Lanbao was similarly worried and had her small fists clenched. She wanted to help Lin Mu but knew that doing that would only make it worse. Interfering in an Immortal Tribulation was a taboo and the heavens would target all those that tried to do it.
And with Lanbao being a Artifact spirit, the target wouldn’t be limited to her but the entire Deep Sapphire Island. She couldn’t threaten the lives of the entire Haima tribe by doing that.
‘Survive Lin Mu...’ Elder Niji and Lanbao both thought.
~BOOM~
After a few more minutes though, the final teor appeared and struck the ground, combining all the small craters into one large crater. This teor was the largest one and was supposed to be the end of the Immortal Tribulation.
Smoke and dust covered the scorched craters, hiding the scene behind it.
“I’ll clear it!” Lanbao could feel the pressure of the Immortal Tribulation disappear, knowing that she could not act.
With the wave of her hand, a wind blew and took away the dust and smoke with it, revealing the scene behind it.
The ground had been impacted enough tis that it had depressed by nearly a hundred ters. Pockmarks like craters covered the surroundings of the larger crater in the center, making it look like the surface of an unprotected planet.
“Where is he?” Elder Niji spread his senses, trying to grasp Lin Mu’s position.
“There!” Lanbao quickly spotted the deep hole that was in the center of the crater.
It was dark and contrasted against the Grey and blueish ground of the Deep Sapphire Island.
~WHOOSH~
In the next second, the two of them appeared right next to the deep hole. It was about a ter wide in size and looked to be perfectly cylindrical. It was just like they had thought, Lin Mu had been nailed deep into the ground.
But how far? The didn’t know yet.
“Can you sense him? Mine can’t reach that far.” Elder Niji asked anxiously.
Lanbao closed her eyes and activated the formation array’s sensory capabilities allowing her to have an almost omniscient view of the Deep Sapphire Island. It didn’t matter if Lin Mu was deep underground, the array was made to cover nearly a hundred kiloter underground as well.
Not to ntion, the Deep Sapphire Island had several arrays that actually extended deeper into the ground. One of them being none other than an Earth Fire array that was used to power so parts of the island.
It could also be used to forge tools if need be as there was an area specially ant for that.
“I found him!” Lanbao said with excitent.
“Can you pull him out?” Elder Niji asked, knowing that she had the best skills here for that.
In response to this, Lanbao expanded her hands. A thin layer of water vapor appeared around her arms that quickly took the form of several long chains. They floated in the air and extended down into the deep hole.
Elder Niji tracked the chain for a certain part of the distance before losing sight of it after it exceeded his range.
“Got him!” Lanbao grasped onto a solid pillar like object. “Lifting him now.” She raised her hands, retracting the chains.
~CREAK~
~SCRATCH~
~GRIND~
Various sounds of scraping could be heard as Lanbao pulled the pillar like object up to the surface. It took her about a minute to fully pull it out, allowing Elder Niji to see it.
“He... How is he?” Elder Niji saw the figure of Lin Mu standing with his hands raised above his head.
He was in the sa posture as he was before and the pillar like object was the shell that had been ford by the Immortal Strengthening Scripture. But now a change could be seen on it as fine runes that looked to be irregular swam on it’s surface.
These runes were not still and were absorbing various particles from the area around them. So of them being none other than the fine powder like fragnts of the teors that had descended.
“He’s absorbing them?” Elder Niji watched in confusion.
“Seems like he has comprehended sothing or its this technique behind it.” Lanbao guessed.
Neither of them knew about the Mortal Strengthening Scripture that Lin Mu had practiced thus for them it seed like it was Lin Mu learning sothing knew.
“Noble Lin Mu! Can you hear us?” Elder Niji called out.
“I can sense his aura inside, it is still active. So he should be awake.” Lanbao narrowed her eyes.
“Perhaps we need to wait for him to be done,” Elder Niji stated.
“Mmhmm, I’ll keep watch.” Lanbao quickly replied.
“And I’ll go assuage the others. They are bound to be scared due to all this.” Elder Niji said before flying away.
With the amount of teors that had fallen and the explosions that happened, there was no doubt that the humans and Haima tribe mbers were anxious if not scared.
After all, the scene of teors entering could be seen from all around the Deep Sapphire Island.
Lanbao awaited for hours watching as the runes on the Pillar like shell got denser and denser. As an artifact spirit herself, she could track the changes on it with so skill.
‘This is a qi skill? How is it working without forming its qi circuit though?’ Lanbao couldn’t understand.
There was only a raw formula forming on the shell, and in a form that few would be able to understand.
