Three Halo's now surrounded Lin Mu's Nascent soul.

Brown, Green and Red, they pulsed with power, announcing his cultivation base at the Third Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm.

The call of the Halos brought forth a surge of Immortal Qi which turned into a vortex above Lin Mu's head.

~WHOOSH~

It then surged into his body and grew his stores of Immortal Qi. The large hill of magma behind Lin Mu roared as well, as if a newborn volcano.

The Saintess and the Ever Spring Mistress watched as Lin Mu flawlessly finished his breakthrough and absorbed all the Immortal Qi from the vortex. "He really finished it…" The Ever Spring Mistress muttered in surprise.

She had never seen someone trigger and overcome an Immortal Tribulation while drunk. That too with such ease.

Not to mention, Lin Mu seemed completely unharmed, which was a feat that was very difficult to do, even when one was prepared for an Immortal Tribulation. If there were more experts watching this, all of them would be feeling stunned as well.

It almost seemed like it wasn't Lin Mu enduring an Immortal Tribulation, but rather the Immortal Tribulation enduring Lin Mu and failing. He had consumed its energy after all.

There were many experts who could absorb the immoral Qi and Dao Traces from an Immortal Tribulation. In fact, on some level, it was something every immortal did upon breakthrough. But to do it on this extent was unthinkable to most.

Only those with specific cultivation techniques could do this and even then, it was only possible when they had a great affinity to the element.

For example, when Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang broke through, they too had absorbed a lot of the energy of the Immortal Tribulation. Theirs were even worse though. As such, they had suffered quite a few injuries, but had managed to heal them upon absorbing the energy.

~SHUA~

While the Saintess and the Ever Spring Mistress were watching though, the large hill of magma behind Lin Mu turned back into the mix of Qi and returned to his body.

~THUD~

And then in the next second, Lin Mu's body fell from the sky and crashed into the ground.

"Master!" Both Little Shrubby and Ashy rushed to check up on him.

The Ever Spring Mistress and the Saintess got closer too and found a calm repression on Lin Mu's face.

"He's asleep?" The Ever Spring Mistress noticed the slow breathing.

"He is… The Ichor Essence Wine is having its full effect. He can no longer stay awake." The Saintess stated. "It's better he's asleep now. We don't want a repeat of what happened earlier." She added, feeling a slight headache.

~SHUA~

The clouds surrounding the courtyard stirred and broke down. "Ugh… Containing a sudden tribulation without preparation is still a pain." The Saintess said with slight irritation. "Thankfully, it was localized and came directly from a spatial tear. Otherwise, I would not have managed to keep it hidden." She added.

She had strengthened the barrier the moment she understood Lin Mu had triggered an Immortal Tribulation. Since she already had a barrier set up earlier, and the Immortal Tribulation hadn't come from the sky, she had fully suppressed its energy from leaking out.

Not even a Transcendent Immortal would know that an Immortal Tribulation had just happened within the same location.

In fact, it had gone so far that even the Formation arrays of the Morning Glory Clan had not sensed it. Though mostly, this was due to the fact that the immortal Tribulation had directly appeared through a spatial tear, skipping its barriers.

The Ever Spring Mistress who heard this though, was surprised.

"Came directly from a Spatial Tear? That means… he directly tapped into the dimension the Tribulation Energy comes from?!" The Ever Spring Mistress was shocked.

"He did…" The Saintess admitted.

"That means… He can use the Spatial Element?" The Ever Spring Mistress asked carefully, but then understood it herself. "Well, he does have the Great Being as a master, so him having the Spatial element is a given, I suppose." She said.

"He has been limiting his use of the Spatial element these days." The Saintess replied. "To improve his other skills, as well as deepen his own understanding." She explained.

"No wonder… but then why does he not have a Spatial Dao embryo?" The Ever Spring Mistress questioned. "I can sense his Earth Dao embryo and the Formation Dao Embryo, but there's no Spatial Dao embryo." She narrowed her eyes.

"It's not just you. I can't sense it either." The Saintess answered. "But I know for sure he has one." "Hmm… Perhaps it is due to its innate properties." The Ever Spring Mistress replied. "I don't know more than ten Spatial Dao Embryos anyways." "Likewise. It's probably a Spatial Dao Embryo we do not know about. Besides, they are known to have elusive properties and as such it is hard to sense them for most people." The Saintess stated before waving her hand.

~SHUA~

A bunch of clouds lifted Lin Mu from the ground, and carried him to a bedroom in the Courtyard. A man shaped imprint was left on the ground behind, which was not being repaired, despite there being arrays for that.

This was of course, due to Lin Mu's weight. He was no longer controlling it due to being passed out. Thankfully, the courtyard had reinforcing arrays which made it quite tough. This managed to endure the weight of Lin Mu, and didn't let a deep hole form.

But even then, it was pushed to its limits.

Thankfully, now that the things had calmed down, the arrays would get a bit of a rest and recover on their own; thereby leaving no evidence of what happened behind.

"He'll be fine." The Saintess spoke to Little Shrubby and Ashy, who were still a bit concerned. Content © 2024.

"He's sure lucky to have such tamed beasts." The Ever Spring Mistress smiled. "And you… You need to be taught a lesson again, it seems." The Saintess said, making the Ever Spring Mistress's expression drop.
