Walker Of The Worlds

The Ever Spring Mistress created a beautiful scene that would be forever remembered by all those that witnessed it today. But it wasn't just a visual treat for them either. The petals that were raining down on the Morning Glory Clan were much more than that. They were infused with the power of the Ever Spring Mistress and energized everyone that touched them.

It filled the people with vitality and made them feel fresh. Those that were having troubles with cultivation or feeling stuck, felt their bottlenecks ease up while those that were already doing well, felt their progress become smoother.

Even the alchemists that were stuck with a particular pill suddenly felt their minds clear up and the solutions popped up in their mind. A few rare individuals were even struck with bouts of enlightenment.

It was as if the entire clan had eaten elixirs and pills, bringing them to a new state soon.

This would be a major boost for the entire Morning Glory clan and was a boon for them. Lin Mu who watched it all felt amazed.

'So this is the power of a Celestial…' Lin Mu thought to himself.

While he had seen the Saintess show her power, it was in an offensive attack. What the Ever Spring Mistress had done was a supportive display of her power that was perhaps even more stunning on some level. After all, improving the cultivation of an entire clan with multiple effects was not an easy task at all. Even with alchemical pills, it was not one pill that fits all. One would have to customize them for each person and only then would they have such an effect.

But here the Ever Spring Mistress had done that with just a single skill. "You're really going all out for your Disciple, huh?" The Saintess spoke at this moment. "Using the Blessing of Spring," she added.

"It'll be fine." The Ever Spring Mistress waved her hand casually. "The Rust Sky World wouldn't mind something like this as it is not infringing on its restrictions too much. Plus, being the Spring Monarch means, I'm supported by every world that has Spring… which is most of the worlds." She laughed.

Lin Mu didn't miss her words and took note of them.

'She's the Spring Monarch… is that a specific title or something else?' he wondered, intending to ask the Saintess later.

He had several things to talk to her about anyways, and may as well add it to the list.

'I need to talk about the ring too… once I get the right opportunity.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

While he could see that the Ever Spring Mistress was good friends with the Saintess, it was still uncomfortable for Lin Mu to discuss the ring while she was there. At the very least, he would prefer it being told to Senior Xukong first before he revealed it to anyone.

He reckoned if anyone knew about that sigil, it would be Xukong.

A short while later, the Ever Spring Mistress decided to finally go out and join the celebration.

"Do you want to come along?" The Ever Spring Mistress asked.

"I'll wait here. You two can go on." The Saintess replied. "There's too many people there."

"If you say so, Saintess." Lin Mu replied.

"Okay." The Ever Spring Mistress knew that it would indeed be an extra work for the Saintess to be around others.

While both of them were Celestials, their different positions and karmas put them in varying situations. The Ever Spring Mistress was basically free to do anything she wanted in the realms as she was not only accepted by the Celestial court and the Immortal Court, but even independent powers were welcoming to her.

If they weren't allied with her, they at least had a neutral relationship with her. Very few were enemies with her and those that were enemies with her were usually enemies of most other powers as well.

In fact, among the four Season Monarchs she probably had the best relationship with the courts. While the Winter Monarch had the worst.

Lin Mu and the Ever Spring Mistress soon entered the main hall of the Morning Glory clan, where they were met with cordial greetings and enthusiasm. "We welcome the Ever Spring Mistress!" Clan Head Guang said cupped his hands and bowed upon seeing her appear.

"WE WELCOME THE EVER SPRING MISTRESS!" The others too repeated after him seeing their benefactor appear.

"Hello!" The Ever Spring Mistress waved in greeting, looking rather casual.

But no one dared to take care casually, for they knew it was just her grace that she was easy with them.

"Welcome, Daoist Mu Lin." Princess Feng Lan and Guang San also greeted Lin Mu as he was walking alongside the Ever Spring Mistress.

"Greetings," Lin Mu spoke before seeing the little girl approach him.

Meihua jumped up from the Emperor's lap and ran towards Lin Mu.

"HI! HI! Brother Mu Lin!" The little girl ran in for a hug.

She hugged Lin Mu's legs and looked up with shimmering eyes.

"Having fun?" Lin Mu smiled at the girl.

"Yep! Yep!" Meihua nodded her head. "Grandpa gave me treats!"

"That's good." Lin Mu patted the little girl's head, making her smile.

~step~step~step~

Lin Mu heard someone approaching him and saw none other than the Emperor standing there.

"Emperor Feng," Lin Mu cupped his hands in greeting.

"Be at ease, Daoist Mu Lin. Our family owes you a debt after all." The Emperor said with a smile.

Lin Mu could feel a change in the man's demeanor which was no longer as heavy as what it was during the tournament. This was something he kept reserved for those that the Emperor was close with and was a very rare thing.

Even with his children, the Emperor was often reserved and perhaps only Feng Lan had seen this side of him most of the time.

Even Feng Shun didn't get this benefit.

The Crown Prince had heavy responsibility on his head and as such, the Emperor treated him seriously too. Though of course, the Crown Prince was happy go lucky at times, and didn't mind his father.

But with his grandchildren, the Emperor lost all signs of being a ruler and became a kind and happy grandfather.

"It's fine, Emperor Feng." Lin Mu replied. "Let's sit down." He spoke, not finding it good to leave them standing.

Not to mention, the Ever Spring Mistress was also standing.

Once the group sat down, the Emperor decided to ask the Ever Spring Mistress a few questions that had been bugging him.

"Celestial Ever Spring Mistress, may I ask when you wish to take Meihua with you?" he questioned.

"I would prefer to go as early as possible." The Ever Spring Mistress said, her demeanor turning calmer. "It is important that Meihua learns to control her bloodline soon."

"Can't you start right away here, Ever Spring Mistress?" Feng Lan asked, feeling curious.

"It isn't that I can't teach her here." The Ever Spring Mistress replied. "It's that she'll need unique conditions to learn it. And that is only possible in my domain." She stated.

"I see…" The Princess nodded.

"Does being in your world grant benefits to cultivation?" Lin Mu asked, feeling curious.

"It does… to a few cultivators." The Ever Spring Mistress replied. "It depends on their technique as well as what Dao they pursue. Some might even be harmed by staying there." She explained in short.

"Oh? I suppose that does make sense, since your domain is focused on the Spring Dao." Lin Mu replied.

"Indeed." The Ever Spring Mistress confirmed.

The others listened to it with great interest as it was not everyday that they got to observe and interact with a Celestial.

The group talked for a few hours until it was finally night time. The celebration ended with a large feast, which Lin Mu enjoyed a lot. He of course brought Little Shrubby too, and the beast had a great time in the place as he was being doted on by not just the Ever Spring Mistress but also Meihua and Feng Lan who couldn't get enough of him. Princess Feng Lan had seen him before, but that was in his giant form.

Right now he was in his kitten form which was utterly adorable and irresistible to most women.

But once morning rolled in, it was time for it all to end.

Lin Mu and the Ever Spring Mistress stood outside in the main garden of the Morning Glory clan while surrounded by Guang San, Princess Feng Lan and Emperor Feng. "Come visit me big brother," Meihua requested.

"Yeah, feel free to come anytime you want." The Ever Spring Mistress chimed in. "My domain will always welcome you." She smiled.

"I'll try to visit." Lin Mu replied. "Whenever I become a celestial, that is." He added.

"With your master, I don't think you'll have any issues with that, haha." The Ever Spring Mistress winked before holding Meihua's hand.
