Walker Of The Worlds

According to Immortal Taegu, the immortal Tribulation of water that Elder Niji was undergoing was called as the Three Phase Water Tribulation.

It involved the water attacking an immortal in three different phases.

The first phase was the heavy rain that would strike one’s body.

The second phase was the sphere that would form around their body and try to drown them.

And finally, the third phase was what Elder Niji was experiencing right now. The freezing phase that would try to kill an immortal by freezing them solid.

One could even say that it simulated the natural cycle of water. It started with the spring rain that would fall to the earth. It would then gather into a lake in summer before freezing up in the winter.

“He… he’s fine?” Immortal Taegu said in a shocked voice.

Elder Niji who was contained within the frozen sphere seemed to be fine. His eyes were open and he casually waved his hand through the solid ice. To him, the hard ice was the same as air, and was cracked up with ease.

~KACHA~

The ice sphere shattered, freeing Elder Niji who gazed at the skies with calm eyes.

~WHOOSH~

A gust of wind blew from the east, taking away all the clouds in the sky.

“He passed it… He passed it just like that…” Immortal Taegu was speechless.

He had never heard of anyone passing an immortal tribulation like this. Not to mention a difficult variant immortal tribulation like the Three Phase Water tribulation.

~HUALA~

Having overcome the tribulation, Elder Niji accepted the gift of the heavens that came in the form of an infusion of Immortal Qi. His meridians were nourished by the Immortal Qi and his tissues greedily sucked it in as well.

It as if his body had undergone a baptism.

His white hair which had only recently grown back started to change color. In just a minute, it went from white, to grey to black. And not just that, the deep wrinkles on Elder Niji’s face eased up as well and the age spots lightened.

The old man who looked to be in his seventies was now looking to be in his fifties instead.

“Congratulations Elder Niji. You are an immortal now.” Lin Mu said feeling really happy.

~Sigh~

“To think just a year ago I was worried about finding an heir for my position. And now I have more than enough lifespan to raise several heirs.” Elder Niji said with a sigh.

When Lin Mu originally met Elder Niji, his total lifespan was four thousand years and he was close to the end of it. But then he broke through to the Immortal Ascension realm, letting his lifespan increase to six thousand years.

And now that he had finally become a first tribulation immortal directly, he had a grand total of four thousand years more.

Elder Niji’s next Immortal Tribulation wouldn’t be coming for those many years, allowing him to stabilize the situation of the tribe.

“Seems like all you and your clan needed was to leave the Land of Exile.” Lin Mu replied.

“You don’t know the extent of it Noble Lin Mu.” Elder Niji shook his head. “Coming out to the sea didn’t just allow me to reach the Immortal realm… it awakened memories… memories that were hidden deep within my tribe’s bloodline.”

“You awakened Bloodline Memories?!” Lin Mu was stunned.

While he knew that the Haima tribe had a unique physique, he didn’t expect them to have a bloodline with bloodline memories either.

“Yes… I did. It was also why I actually managed to reach the Immortal realm. I now know the truth.” Elder Niji replied.

Lin Mu raised his brows, guessing what Elder Niji was getting it.

“The truth of the tribe origin?” Lin Mu questioned with interest.

“Indeed.” Elder Niji nodded his head. “The Haima Tribe is a tribe that has dominion over water, whether it be the seas or the oceans. Only when we are truly within their scope can we awaken our abilities.” He explained.

“Then… does this mean others can awaken it just like you?” Lin Mu asked.

“They can indeed… Eventually. One needs to reach the Immortal Ascension realm to trigger the awakening.” Elder Niji replied.

“I see… guess the tribe needs to hurry up then.” Lin Mu chuckled.

“We’ll do our best!” The Haima tribe’s members all shouted in unison.

They had heard the entire conversation between Lin Mu and Elder Niji after all. And it could be said that they were feeling rather proud at this moment.

The Haima tribe had once lived in fear of immortals attacking them, and now their own tribe had its immortal.

Not to mention, they had just learned that their tribe wasn’t some weak exile, but rather the dominator of the seas and oceans.

It wasn’t that they were weak, just that they were in the wrong habitat.

“Let’s start our journey then. I’ll help out with driving the ship.” Elder Niji urged.

“Of course.” Lin Wu agreed before turning to Immortal Taegu. “You should get to the helm and start it up.”

“Y-yes!” Immortal Taegu quickly rushed to the ship.

He didn’t dare to waste even a moment of time now.

‘Too strong… simply too strong… no one can afford to offend them now…’ Immortal Taegu thought to himself.

To him the talent of the Haima Tribe seemed to be monstrous. Not to mention, he had also heard Elder Niji’s words earlier.

‘If they really are what they said, then… won’t we have a new overlord in the Rust Sky world’ Immortal Taegu thought.

Kunzi was having similar thoughts too, but his went a step further.

‘Just the Sea of Muxuan alone is a large area filled with resources. If the Haima Tribe fully controls it, they will have more than enough resources to make their own kingdom. And if they manage to expand past it… the Rust Sky World is nearly 70% water.’ Kunzi felt speechless.

He could almost see the rise of a new empire on the horizon.
