A couple of days had passed since Lin Mu had arrived at the Long Cloud sect and the alliance was forged.

The elders of the sect had already begun their work in full force and were investigating on multiple fronts. Lin Mu could finally see the efficiently of a top sect for the first time. There were many people they could contact and no one would really get suspicious, since it was a normal thing for them.

This gave Lin Mu another idea of how being in an organization gives authenticity to someone.

While all this was happening, he was not free either. He was either cultivating on his own as he was getting closer to the finalization of his Dao Shell's shape. He reckoned that he would be done any day now.

Jing Luo was busy as well and was making the Teleportation gate in the sect. There were some initial doubts from the sect about the security, but once Jing Luo told them, they could add their own security to that, they were fully convinced.

The Teleportation gate was built in a new area underground that was specially dug out for it. Many illustrious arrays were constructed around it along with defensive arrays that could work in both sides.

They could prevent someone from leaving the teleportation gate's area and they could also stop someone from entering it. That way they would have assurance that the enemies will not be able to flip it on them and gain an advantage.

This time, Jing Luo had the assistance of the entire formation hall of the Long Cloud sect and thus was able to build the teleportation gate in a record three days.

When this was done, Jing Luo came to Lin Mu to discuss where the other teleportation gates will be built.

"How many do you think we will need? I will prepare the components according to that." Jing Luo spoke.

"Hmm… let's see. The next we will need to build will be in the Fenlong kingdom, then there will be the two sects in alliance, the Black Dune Sect and the Light Harmony sect. After these, we might build another in the Shuang Qian kingdom, probably in the capital in a place of Wu Hei's choosing." Lin Mu replied.

"So about four more sects…" Jing Luo counted.

"We might add more, but for now, these are the ones we know for sure." Lin Mu stated.

"Very well. I'll prepare the sects for the Black Dune Sect and the Light Harmony sect first. I'll also teach the assembly to the others so that they can do it on their own once they are at those sects. It might take at least two months before those will be set up." Jing Luo estimated.

"That is a good enough time line for now. We can't really predict much, so it's best we take things one day at a time." Lin Mu said after thinking for a bit.

Jing Luo nodded to himself before remembering something.

"What will you be doing now since the sects will take nearly a month to arrive?" Jing Luo asked.

"I might just cultivate. I'll be in the Kong plane." Lin Mu replied.

"Hmm… that might just be the best option for now. We need to grow our strengths." Jing Luo said.

"You should cultivate too. You are already at the Adult Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm, try and see if you can breakthrough to the Dao Shell realm. As for any resources, we got plenty in the Kong Plane for you to use." Lin Mu suggested.

"I do find some time to cultivate every day, but If I'm done with the teleportation gate components, I'll focus a bit more." Jing Luo replied.

"Very well. See how it works out for you." Lin Mu said with a nod before Jing Luo took his leave.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath as he thought over all that had happened briefly before activating the runes on his body.

~shua~

The runes glowed, and Lin Mu disappeared in a flash of light.

~whoosh~

And just as he appeared in the Kong Plane, a red blur arrived next to him. All content is property © .

"You're here!" Little Shrubby spoke.

"Yeah, I'll stay here for a while." Lin Mu replied.

"Great! I found some more beasts that are good!" Little Shrubby said happily.

"Good, we can have some good food tonight, then." Lin Mu said, while rubbing Little Shrubby's head.

Little Shrubby had been in the Kong plane for a while, as Lin Mu had asked the beast to explore it a bit more. A vast majority of the Kong plane was still unexplored and Lin Mu had not even seen ten percent of it.

Plus, since the formation arrays of the Kong Plane didn't have an internal teleportation function, the only way they had was to travel the normal way. Thankfully, the Communication jade slips worked good enough in the Kong Plane now so if any emergency arrived, he would know.

Additionally, the number of people in the Kong Plane had increased by quite a lot. There were other people, including King Hong and the Noon Grass sect disciples. These were the more talented people of the Hong Kingdom that were recently allowed to cultivate in the Kong Plane.

The results so far had been good and about twenty new core condensation realm cultivators had been created in the past month. As for the nascent soul realm, there were two new additions as the minister of war and minister of trade both broke through to the Nascent soul realm after cultivating in the Kong Plane for a while.

This in addition to the people of the Noon Grass sect, made it so that Lin Mu's alliance was steadily growing in power.. The Noon Grass sect disciples had some additional duties as well so they didn't have as vast gains as that of the Hong Lin Kingdom people, but after those were over and things stabilized, Lin Mu was sure there would be a lot more additions to their powerhouses.
