Lin Mu didn’t know for sure what he was about to do would work or not, but he knew this was the only option for now. Xukong was also watching Lin Mu, spatial energy swirling around him.
He didn’t tell Lin Mu, but he was always ready to act in case anything happened. So far he had only acted once against Gu Yao, but that had put him back two years in his progress. Thankfully, with Lin Mu getting the bloodline of the Great Slumber bear, he slept for two years and Xukong got to cultivate again.
~Sigh~
"He does take risks but at least he knows when’s the right ti to take them." Xukong muttered to himself as his eight golden yellow eyes gazed upon the ethereal altar.
Just beside the altar, one could also see a Grey color egg lying still. No movent could be observed from it, yet Xukong could feel the life within the egg.
"Wonder what thing you will be..." Xukong said.
Even with his countless years of experience, he could not tell what the beast in the egg was going to be. With the inclusion of beast Qi, there were far too many variations that could appear in a beast.
Beast Qi could awaken or strengthen a specific bloodline that was hidden within a beast. But when it was used in special conditions such as on a pregnant beast, the offspring’s condition would be even more unpredictable.
The beast Qi would be able to affect bloodlines that were far deeper and hidden in the beast. Bloodlines that would never be awakened, no matter what if the said beast was fully born.
Though there was also the other end of this equation. The beast Qi could be overwhelming and awaken multiple bloodlines that conflict with each other and prevent the egg from ever hatching.
Lin Mu was unaware of the thoughts of senior Xukong and was fully focused on the road ahead. His eyes were squinted as he extended his right hand forward.
"I know you are there..." Lin Mu muttered as he tried to find the hidden mountain again.
It flickered in and out of existence, but he knew he could tap into it.
"NOW, OPEN FOR !" Lin Mu declared.
The mysterious ring humd in response as a large amount of spirit Qi was drained from Lin Mu at once. Even the tribulation lightning within Lin Mu’s Dantian was affected by it and got pushed to the side by the massive amount of spirit Qi that was being consud.
~Humm~
~Rip~
A tear appeared in the space in front of Lin Mu and expanded in a fraction of a second.
~whoosh~
With the speed Little Shrubby was moving at, it didn’t even take them a second to pass through the tear before it faded away into nothingness.
"What was that!" A couple of voices said as they flew over.
The mist parted and once could see so elders floating in the air. All of them were evidently at the Nascent Soul realm, but there was one green robed elder who had stronger spirit Qi fluctuation. than the others.
"Elder Qing, do you sense sothing?" the nascent soul realm elders asked the green robed elder.
"Hmm... there are so spatial fluctuations here." Elder Qing replied.
"Spatial fluctuations? What! You don’t think... there was an intruder here?" One of the elders said with shock.
Elder Qing furrowed his brows, which made other elders nervous too.
"No..." Elder Qing shook his head.
The other elders looked at him in confusion, wondering why he would say this.
"There were two beasts having a heavenly tribulation at the sa ti. Things such as this are bound to cause strange phenona, not to ntion heavenly tribulations themselves can cause spatial disturbances when they are strong." Elder Qing explained.
~phew~
The Nascent Soul realm elders collectively took a breath of relief. They certainly did not want any extra trouble, especially when the sect was at a sensitive ti as that of the sacred trials.
"At least we got to see the Nascent soul beasts. Though... how did we not know there were two beasts who were close to a breakthrough?" One of the Nascent Soul realm elders asked.
"Just as we cultivators have fortunate encounters, the beasts can have them too. It is not our place to think about it much, you will just waste ti, trying to pry the threads of fate." Elder Qing said wisely.
The elders were impressed by his words and nodded their heads.
"Though Elder Qing... I don’t think I recall there ever being a Fire Fang Snake in our region. We know about Black Water snakes as they are native to here, but the Fire Fang snakes live way far to the south." Soone curiously asked.
Elder Qing raised his brows and thought over it, finding it to be a valid query.
"Do we have a record about who brought it here? Soone must have brought it, there is no other way it would end up here." Elder Qing asked.
"Let check elder." One of the junior elders hurriedly responded, before taking out a long jade slip.
This jade slip was about three tis as long as a normal communication jade slip and looked more like a ruler instead. The junior elder held it for a few seconds and closed his eyes.
"Ah, I think I found it." The junior elder stated.
"And, what does it say?" The other elders asked.
"The records state that one Elder Limo brought a bunch of beasts from the southern part of the continent about a hundred years ago. This Fire Fang Snake must be one of them too." The junior elder replied.
"Elder Limo? Did we have an elder like that in the sect?" One of the elders questioned.
The other elders seed lost about it too.
"Umm... the records state that Elder Limo died over fifty years ago while fighting against soone nad Jing Luo when he reached the area of our sect." The junior elder replied.
