CHAPTER 1911  UPROAR IN THE TWIN CROWNS PEAK

With the apology given, Lin Mu decided to reduce the tension in the hall.

"It is fine, I do not mind it, elders." Lin Mu replied. "I understand it is a matter of concern for you all." He said in understanding.

The elders all became relieved after hearing this.

"In fact, this is also why I came over the wall. I was on my way to the Serene Glass Valley from the Capital City. And when I crossed the Minor Mite Mountains, I saw the Great Meteor Wall. It was my first time seeing it, thus I wished to feel its unique phenomena myself. But when I finally got to the area, I didn't feel anything. I thought it might just be too low at that point and got closer to the wall, but even then nothing changed. As such I went all the way to the wall before realizing that the Gravity didn't increase at all. Wanting to figure out more, I climbed over the wall and felt nothing there either. Though… I did get a really nice view of the entire Serene Glass Valley." Lin Mu explained his side with a few changes in the events.

His words were surprising to all the elders, as well as the two juniors from the Shuijing clan. In fact, they were a lot more trusting of Lin Mu, now that his identity as the winner had been confirmed. They didn't think there would be any reason for Lin Mu to trick them.

Not to mention, any tricks like these would be easily seen through once they confirmed the facts.

And sure enough, just as Lin Mu finished talking, Elder Wen returned.

~shua~

He appeared in the teleportation circle and had an incredulous expression on his face even now.

"It… it… it is true… The Heavy Gravity is gone… The Great Meteorite Wall has changed!" Elder Wen exclaimed.

An uproar broke out in the hall after this, as the elders were all shocked.

"Silence!" The elder from the Chang'an clan shouted.

With that, all of the elders calmed down and silence returned to the hall.

"We'll have to check this in detail and verify how this happened." The Elder from Chang'an Clan spoke. "But before that, Daoist Mu Lin can leave. You two juniors can take him with you, ensuring that he is given the right treatment." He stated.

"Of course, Supreme Elder." Shuijing Mingzhu cupped her hands and bowed her head.

"We'll take care of Daoist Mu Lin, he is our guest after all." Shuijing Ju added.

"Mmhmm, as for the elders we have to inform the Imperial Court as well as set up new defenses. Get to it right away!" The Supreme Elder declared.

~shua~shua~shua~

All of the elders left their seats and quickly entered the teleportation circle, going to do their assigned tasks.

"We should leave too, Daoist Mu Lin." Shuijing Ju spoke. "I think things will be getting a bit busy around here." "Alright." Lin Mu replied and went along with them.

~shua~

They too left through the teleportation circle and returned to the base of the Twin Crowns Peak.

"Come on, we'll take you to the Shuijing Clan. The Head Elder has been excited to meet you for a long time." Shuijing Mingzhu pulled Lin Mu along.

"Haha, okay." Lin Mu flew alongside her while Shuijing Ju was at his left.

The trio flew back to the Shuijing clan, while Shuijing Mingzhu introduced various peaks and places to Lin Mu. She told him all about the various facilities the Serene Glass Valley had as well as about all the clans they passed by.

"Oh yeah, we have a clan that has the same surname as you Daoist Mu Lin." Shuijing Ju suddenly said. "Are you related to them by any chance?" he asked in doubt.

"Ah no. I can assure you I'm definitely not related to them." Lin Mu shook his head. "It isn't possible since I'm not from this world."

"Oh…" Shuijing Mingzhu looked a bit disappointed upon hearing that. If Lin Mu was even distantly related to them somehow, it would be a great honor for the Serene Glass Valley. But it was still a bit surprising to them that Lin Mu wasn't from the Rust Sky world.

They didn't ask Lin Mu which world he was from though, as they thought it might be a bit of a private matter. Plus, it wasn't uncommon for many immortals to wander around several worlds and live for hundreds or thousands of years in them. As such, many of them considered multiple worlds their home.

The trio continued to chat and talk about the Serene Glass Valley, with Lin Mu feeling quite intrigued by them. But he was especially surprised by one of the things that they told him.

"Oh! Our Serene Glass Valley also has a special Immortal fruit orchard that has been in the valley since before our clans were established here." Shuijing Mingzhu spoke. "It is full of Snow Glass pear trees." She revealed.

"Snow Glass Pears?" This was the first time Lin Mu had heard about the immortal fruit. "Tell him about Elder Pear!" Shuijing Ju reminded her.

"Elder Pear? Someone that takes care of the Orchard?" Lin Mu guessed.

"No… Elder Pear is one of the Snow Glass Pear Trees." Shuijing Mingzhu revealed, surprising him. "He is a tree but is still part of the Serene Glass Valley elders."

"Wait… Do you mean to say he is a Sentient Immortal Tree!?" Lin Mu asked with excitement. Content © 2024.

"Indeed!" Shuijing Mingzhu nodded her head.

Hearing that, Lin Mu's excitement about coming to the Serene Glass Valley skyrocketed. After all, one of the things he had been looking for a long time was more Sentient plants. And now that he had a direct confirmation about one such plant, he couldn't help but feel thrilled.

"Can you take me there?" Lin Mu asked her, trying to hold in his excitement.

"Yeah, we can. But we'll have to get permission first." Shuijing Ju replied.

"We'll talk to the Head Elder, I'm sure he'll give it to us." Shuijing Mingzhu stated.
