After all the aquatic beasts had been collected, Lin Mu looked at the long sword in his hand.
'Ocean Raker is rather powerful in water huh… it's strength was definitely amplified.' Lin Mu noted.
He had not used Ocean Raker as much after obtaining it, and thought of doing so since he had seen some water. It was safe to say that the High grade Immortal sword was worth its name and rank.
It had split apart tens of Aquatic beasts in a single slash.
Lin Mu tapped the sword gently, making it tremble like a shy cat. He stored the sword away and got out of the river.
~SHUA~
Lin Mu waved his hand and a gust of wind swirled around him, pulling away all the water that was drenching his robes.
'This is really convenient. Wind Dao and Air Dao might be one of the most useful Dao's in terms of convenience…' Lin Mu thought to himself.
It had made him want to learn more about the Storm King's techniques. Right now he just had the Bending Will fists, but Lin Mu reckoned he should be able to get more if he requested for them at the Grand Sky Pavilion.
'Senior Xukong did say they were widely distributed.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
"Should I prepare the dishes?" Little Shrubby asked, having finished his task.
"Yes, do that. We've been traveling nonstop for a few weeks now. Let's fill our bellies up." Lin Mu replied.
"Mmmhmm, I'll make six dishes then!" Little Shrubby quickly set up a large grill, two cauldrons, a flat pan and a steamer.
These weren't the makeshift tools that they used before, but actual proper kitchen tools. Li Mu had bought several of them back in the city, and these were apparently used in large kitchens and were meant to cook food for hundreds of people.
But that was something that was a normal serving to Lin Mu and Little Shrubby.
"Xiao Yin, Xiao Yang, you two come out too." Lin Mu called the twins.
~SHUA~
A second later, the twins appeared in front of Little Shrubby.
They had grown a little from before and seemed to be a few inches longer now.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"Oh? Are you two close to a breakthrough?" Lin Mu could feel a strange aura surrounding them.
He narrowed his eyes and used Spatial perception, finding the find disturbances in the spatial fabric around them. Just by merely being there, the two were affecting it!
"You two really are close to a tribulation!" Lin Mu was surprised.
What surprised him more though, was the fact that it was the tribulation that was trying to approach the twins rather than the other way around.
After all, the twins had a lot of lifespan left and would not be forced to take the Immortal Tribulation.
They weren't even four years old after all!
But despite that, Lin Mu could tell that the Immortal Tribulation seemed close for them. Though he couldn't exactly guess what kind of Immortal Tribulation it would be.
"Senior Xukong, can you take a look? I don't think they should be having an Immortal Tribulation this early, should they?" Lin Mu questioned.
He was a bit concerned, thus chose to awake Xukong.
"Hmm?" Xukong quickly took a look and realized that things were indeed a bit strange with the twins. "This is quite unusual…" he confirmed.
Xukong tried to figure out what might be the reason for it, but could not.
'This shouldn't happen usually… are they going to trigger that kind of a Variant?' Xukong wondered.
Xukong knew that there were many variants of Immortal Tribulation and Lin Mu had already seen a few himself. Even his own first Tribulation as a variant tribulation and one of the most dangerous ones.
But Xukong could tell that the one that the twins were going to have was unlike anything they've seen so far.
"This does not look good." Xukong spoke after thinking for a bit.
"Is there an issue, senior?" Lin Mu asked with concern.
"Yes… The Immortal Tribulation the twins are going to have will certainly be a variant Immortal Tribulation. But… the effects its having already seem to be a bit too much for even a variant." Xukong replied.
"How dangerous will it be, senior?" Lin Mu could already tell from Xukong's tone it was not going to be simple.
"Either on the same level as your Meteoric Earth Immortal Tribulation or even stronger." Xukong said in a serious tone.
Hearing this, Lin Mu felt anxious. He looked at the twins, that didn't seem to be aware of the impending danger.
Their full attention was on the food that Little Shrubby seemed to be cooking, as well as on the pile of corpses nearby.
'The Saintess should know more…' A thought appeared in Lin Mu's mind.
He had not talked to the Saintess ever since entering the Desolate Blood Battlefield, but she had said that she'll be following after him.
'Hopefully she can hear me…' Lin Mu thought and took a deep breath.
"Saintess, are you there?" Lin Mu called out.
Lin Mu waited for a couple of minutes, but received no response.
"The twins are going to have a breakthrough and it does not seem to be good, Saintess." Lin Mu spoke again.
This time, Lin Mu waited for five minutes, but still received no response.
"Strange… is she too far? Or is she not here at all?" Lin Mu wondered.
His brows furrowed while his worry increased.
"Let me take a look," but just a few seconds later, he heard the calming voice of the Saintess.
He turned around and saw her materialize from thin air.
She was still wearing her veil, but Lin Mu found something to be different about her. As for what it was, he couldn't place his finger on it.
"Yes," Lin Mu gestured to the twins, who were entranced by the smell of the food.
The Saintess spread her senses over them and was surprised.
"This… Why are there traces of Transcendent Tribulation on them?!"
