Walker Of The Worlds-Novel



Talking to Childe Wildfire provided Lin Mu with a few insights and gave him a better idea on how to deal with the issue of Dugu Shanhe's skill.

'Considering the fact that Dugu Shanhe cannot use his skill several times in a row as well as on those that are stronger than him, Childe Wildfire might just be able to overcome this.' Lin Mu thought to himself.Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

"I won't disturb you any longer then. You can continue to cultivate." Lin Mu bid the man farewell.

"Mm." Childe Wildfire simply hummed in response and closed his eyes.

It was clear that he still wished to accumulate as much Immortal Qi as he could before the fight. Him having reached the Sixth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm was just the start.

Lin Mu compared Childe Wildfire to the other Immortals of a similar level that he had faced so far and realized that he was not at their level yet. 

The Steel Horned General Niu Juo was also said to be at the Sixth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm in terms of Qi cultivation, but having met the man in person, Lin Mu knew just that was not enough.

His body cultivation was unknown combined with his Qi cultivation, possibly made it a lot stronger.

Then there was the Beast that Lin Mu had passed by while sailing the seas along with Haima Tribe. It was also at the Sixth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm but its power was overwhelming.

A tornado surrounded it at all times, created by its mere presence.

And then there was Crown Prince Feng Shun.

Lin Mu didn't know how to exactly judge the man. His behavior and power were both obscure. But considering the fact that he had slain a Tyrant Bull, even if it were a juvenile was a testament to his power.

It only made Lin Mu realize that he had a lot to cover even now.

~Sigh~

"I have so much time, and yet I feel lacking." Lin Mu couldn't help but mutter.

It was a strange feeling he could not fully comprehend. He knew that others had spent a long time reaching this stage. Even the geniuses had cultivated for a few hundred years to over a thousand years to reach their current strength. 

While Lin Mu hadn't reached their level, cultivation base wise, he was still racing towards it.

'Is it my own desire that makes me wish for it, or is it the circumstances that are directing me towards it?' Lin Mu wondered.

~humm~

And as Lin Mu was walking back, he felt the token vibrate lightly.

"New matches are decided?" Lin Mu took a look.

The ones who were up this time were all unfamiliar to Lin Mu and none of his companions were in it.

"Guess this will be more relaxed." Lin Mu muttered. "Though there is one interesting match to observe." 

Among the four matches, there was one contestant that was also a top contender. This was none other than Su Zian the one supposed to be fourth ranked among the top 5.

Soon, Lin Mu was back at the Spring Valley Restaurant, where his companions were waiting for him.

"Welcome back," Lu Xu greeted him.

"Oh? You guys ordered food?" Lin Mu saw a few snacks on the table.

"It was the countess that sent them over." Luo Liqin responded. 

"She seemed disappointed that you weren't here." Lu Xu added with a slight grin.

"I see… I'll give her my thanks later." Lin Mu calmly said before sitting down.

"Did you learn something from Childe Wildfire?" Qian Wen questioned.

"Yes." Lin Mu answered before narrating what he had talked forbore.

"A Hypnotic skill… those are not as rare, but one that can work on those at the Fifth Tribulation stage immortals are certainly hard to find." Luo Liqin muttered.

"Sister, doesn't Butterfly Peak Master also do something like that?" Ming Dandan interjected.

"He does… but his skill is a lot different." Ming Aolian spoke, catching Lin Mu's interest.

"Can you tell me more?" Lin Mu asked.

"Sure. The Mystifying Butterfly Dance is a supportive combat skill and is not one that can be cast directly like what Dugu Shanhe does. To use it one actually needs to dance to activate the skill. 

Though the biggest factor is that the peak master of Butterfly Peak is at the Sixth Tribulation Stage of the immortal realm too, but can only affect those up to the Fourth Tribulation stage." Ming Aolian explained.

"Huh, peak master is weaker than Dugu Shanhe?" Ming Dandan seemed surprised. "Isn't he on the same level as our master?" 

"He is but his skills do not match up." Ming Aolian shook her head.

"Dugu Shanhe is actually stronger than a Peak master of the Blue Mountain Palace… that's unexpected." Lu Xu seemed surprised too.

"Whoever his master is, they might be stronger than the patriarch of the Blue Mountain Palace." Ming Aolian said after thinking for a bit.

"You really think so?" Ming Dandan said in shock.

"If it is a reclusive expert, it does make sense." Qian Wen replied. "Those experts focus on their own strength unlike the Blue Mountain Palace that nurtures its people." He added.

Lin Mu heard their words and wondered if Dugu Shanhe was similar to Tian Ning.

'If he also has a celestial as a master, it would all make sense.' Lin Mu thought.

"On another note, Su Zian is fighting in the next cycle." Qian Wen spoke. "He's said to be rather good at the battle arts of the Army." 

"Ah yes. He's a rather popular candidate too and has a lot of achievements." Lu Xu nodded his head.

"We'll be studying him too." Lin Mu stated. "As well as the others. So why don't we get started?" 

With that, their regular lessons began once more and lasted till it was the time for the matches.

The lessons were helping the Six companions a lot and they were steadily improving. Unknown to them, Lin Mu was laying a foundation that they would rely on for millenniums to come.
