CHAPTER 2499 CELESTIAL BODY CULTIVATION
Body Cultivation was something that Lin Mu always wanted to continue with even if he had regressed a bit in right now. Learning about the benefits of it in the Celestial Realm was very enthralling to him, especially the ability to be reborn instantly. Of course he considered the fact that getting trapped as a Body Cultivator could be really bad too, as an enemy could trap them and keep on killing them over and over again until they had run out of Vital Sparks.
But Lin Mu knew that there was another way out for them.
"Senior, if someone is cultivating both Qi and body in the Celestial Realm then can they choose where to be reborn? Either through their Vital Spark or their Phylactery?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Yes they can." Xukong confirmed, making Lin Mu smile.
It was an option that gave one a lot of versatility, as that way one could assess if they needed to take the effort to be reborn right away with a Vital Spark or to take the safe option and be reborn in their home world.
'If its an enemy that can be fought with a bit more time then the Vital Sparks would be the better option as they can be used to overwhelm them. If not and I am outmatched it would be better to be reborn back home.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
Having thought of it so far, Lin Mu got a bit more insight into Yao Changying or rather, the Withered Spirit Daoist. "If the Withered Spirit Daoist wants to become a True Celestial, I doubt she's going to use the Body cultivation route. She must be going for Qi cultivation right?" Lin Mu analyzed. "Would it be possible that she's looking for some Celestial Treasure to become a Nurtured Celestial?" he wondered.
Lin Mu didn't think that there were many chances for the Withered Spirit Daoist to become an Ordained True Celestial as that would require her to get the acknowledgment of the Rust Sky World's will.
"It does seem unlikely for the Rust Sky World to acknowledge her. Plus considering that she's relying on Yao Changying for everything, its not like she can expect her to become an Ordained Celestial either as she is not from this world. As such a Nurtured Celestial seems like the only viable option left. Unless… There is something else we don't know yet." Xukong replied after thinking for a bit.
Just as they finished talking though, Lin Mu felt a wave of exhaustion.
"Ugh… Looks like this is it." Lin Mu said feeling tired. "My Qi stores are almost all drained." "You should stop now. This was already quite good in how much you got to learn." Xukong replied. "At least now we know the capabilities of the Heaven Silencing Seal." He added. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Yes." Lin Mu said before looking at the seal floating above them. "Return." He lightly spoke, causing the Heaven Silencing Seal to deactivate.
The dome of energy disappeared and the seal floated down. ~SHUA~
But instead of landing back in Lin Mu's hands it jumped into his chest and disappeared within it.
"That was not what I expected…" Lin Mu was surprised by it. "Where did it go?" Xukong asked, unable to sense it himself.
"It's… Inside my Dantian?" Lin Mu could feel it in there.
~SHUA~
He checked his Dantian and saw that the Heaven Silencing Seal was silently floating in a corner. It didn't seem to be absorbing his Qi now but it was certainly doing something that Lin Mu could not fully tell.
"Strange…" Lin Mu could only vaguely sense that the Heaven Silencing Seal was 'recharging' in some way. Just be sure he tried to activate the seal again, but it simply didn't move showing that his guess was correct.
"Looks like continually using the Heaven Silencing Seal isn't possible. It needs to recover more than just Qi to work." He now understood.
"I wouldn't be surprised. The ability of the Heaven Silencing Seal isn't simple at all and it most certainly has another source of power that allows it to do this." Xukong replied. "You might be able to figure it out eventually, as sensing it myself due to its crystals is not possible." He added.
"Hmm… I'll try to do that." Lin Mu said before eating out a breath. "For now I need to recover my Qi stores too…" he decided to focus on it.
While Lin Mu was doing this though he was unaware of a set of events that had happened far to the west.
Shortly after Lin Mo had consumed the Soul Fragment a burst of deadly aura could be felt in the former Eight Kingdom Alliance continent. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! WHO!? WHO DID IT!? WHO DESTROYED MY SOUL FRAGMENT!!!!!!" an earth shaking scream was heard echoing for a hundred kilometers.
~BOOM~
Accompanying it was a burst of Withering Dao energy that flooded the area, making the hills and mountains around it to crumble. A hole opened up in the center of it all, from which rose a woman.
This was of course none other than Yao Changying, but the voice that was coming out of her mouth seemed to be completely different.
Her black hair fluttered at the back in an ominous manner while a dark aura radiated from her nonstop. Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked to the East.
"Dao Wind Continent… Someone found my Soul Fragment and destroyed it." Yao Changying said with the voice of Withered Spirit Daoist while a furious expression was present on her face. 'Who could have found it? Only my people had the clues to it and even then they were encrypted.' But a second later her expression suddenly changed to that of confused while Yao Changying's original voice was heard.
"Who else!? It must be those bastards who stopped us before. That Crown Prince and that… Fiend." The Withered Spirit Daoist spoke remembering the people that had been hampering their plans in the Bridge Plane.
