Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu's vision suddenly changed, and he felt as if everything had turned black and white. He looked around and could see that all the things were in different shapes. Some things were blurry while others were distorted. He could also see some black dots that he knew were flaws in the fabric of space and that they lead to the lesser void.

While it seemed like a while had passed to Lin Mu, in reality only a mere second had passed. In the next instant, everything turned back to normal and Lin Mu could see in color again.

"Huh, what was that?" Lin Mu said.

"So what did you experience?" Xukong asked.

Xukong himself didn't know what kind of effect Lin Mu using spatial attribute qi directly would have on the skills. But he could guess a few things and wondered if that was actually what Lin Mu experienced.

"It was strange… everything turned black and white. The time also seemed to be… slow for some reason. The objects were not exactly correct either." Lin Mu recalled.

"Seems like you were able to get spatial perception when you used the skill with the spatial attribute qi. That black and white color was due to your proficiency in it being less. Also, that feeling of time slowing down, that was an illusion or rather a misperception. That happens when a cultivator newly starts using spatial perception.

If you actually tried to move, you would realize that you would be moving at the same speed as before and that time wasn't actually slowed down. And as for the objects not being correct, I believe that was because of them being occluded by spatial distortions or the flowing space." Xukong explained.

"I understand senior." Lin Mu said before thinking of using another skill.

Lin Mu took another small part of the spirit qi cloud and this time used it to power the second skill 'blink'. He already had an intention of where he wanted to move, thus had no problems.

The moment he used it, his vision turned black and white again, but this time he realized that he could still use his spirit sense unlike the during the first skill 'Flicker' where it just didn't work or rather felt like it was frozen.

Usually when Lin Mu wanted to teleport using blink his spirit sense could only extend up to the maximum range of the skill which was ten meters. But now he realized that he was not limited by that. He sensed that he could actually teleport freely up to the maximum length of his spirit sense.

'This… this is amazing!' Lin Mu inwardly exclaimed.

In the next moment, he triggered the skill and disappeared from his location, appearing at the place he had chosen.

~Phew~

Lin Mu let out a breath even he had not known he was holding in. It was obvious that he had been a bit nervous and had thus held his breath back. But now that he was successful, he finally relaxed.

"The effect this time is rather obvious I see," Xukong said, appreciating the effects.

"The range of the second skill 'blink' is no longer limited to ten meters, it seems Senior. I can use it to teleport up to the maximum range of my spirit sense now." Lin Mu explained.

"That's good. You can use it in times of emergency." Xukong agreed.

Lin Mu nodded and checked the cloud of spatial qi he had in the ring. In the two times he had used it, the amount used reached six percent of its total volume. One percent was used to activate the first skill 'Flicker' and five percent was needed for 'Blink'.

Lin Mu realized that using spatial qi to power these skills was best limited to when he truly needed them. Until now he had been relatively safe and had escaped danger effortlessly. But he knew that there may be times in the future when his skills may not be enough and this could come in handy.

Lin Mu contemplated on the idea of using the spatial qi for the third skill 'Phase'. It was the skill that had the highest consumption and would continue consuming his qi the longer he used it.

"Better to test and know the effects now rather than to experiment in times of danger." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

~Huu~

He took a deep breath and calmed his mind. He then moved near some trees as the main effect of the skill was to allow him to walk through the physical objects, or rather pass through them. He activated the skill and saw his vision change again.

Lin Mu immediately walked through the trees and did not feel much of a difference. He immediately stopped the skill and checked the usage.

~Sigh~

"As I expected, it was rather large."

The size of the cloud had been reduced by a further twenty percent when he used 'Phase'. While it was not exactly equivalent to that of the spirit qi wisps, it was still quite a lot considering that he had a limited amount of spatial attribute qi.

In total, he had used up about twenty six percent of the spatial qi cloud, reducing its size to slightly less than three-quarters of its original volume.

"Senior, how can I obtain more spatial qi? I know that I can get it from the materials that contain it, but that would be quite difficult no?" Lin Mu asked.

"Well, spatial qi is actually one of the most abundant types of qis in the cosmos. It is everywhere, it's just that most people or rather cultivators cannot sense it. Controlling it is even more difficult which leads to them thinking that it is hard to find. It is just that there are quite limited materials that naturally contain spatial qi." Xukong explained.

Lin Mu thought over his words for a bit before realizing something.

"Then doesn't this mean that as long as one can sense and control the spatial qi they can directly imbue it into materials?" Lin Mu asked.

"Exactly. How else do you think spatial storage tools are made in the higher leveled worlds?"
