Walker Of The Worlds

This was the first time Lin Mu was seeing so many aquatic beasts and he was rather amazed by them.

Some looked like larger version of normal aquatic animals, while some had strange features and body parts.

For example, there was a large fish that had six fins on each side and swam at a blinding speed. Then there was the octopus that had gone past the ‘tube. Not only was it very large, it also had tentacles that were covered in vibrant red fur.

It seemed rather strange to see fur on an aquatic creature, but it was still new.

“There’s so many beasts… they are rather strong too…” Lin Mu muttered to himself in awe.

All the beasts that Lin Mu saw were at the Immortal realm. There seemed to be basically no spirit beasts in this part of the ocean. Even a prawn the size of a dog was seemingly at the Immortal realm.

Granted, most of the Immortal realm beasts in here were weak and were barely at the First Tribulation stage of the immortal realm, there was still a lot of them.

“Just what kind of effect would one have if they ate beasts like these every day?” Lin Mu couldn’t help but wonder.

Subconsciously his stomach stirred too, desiring meat. It reminded Lin Mu that he had not replenished his stomach ‘fully’ for a while now.

‘Having broken through again, I should have an even greater capacity. The absorption rate should be better too…’ Lin Mu thought to himself, fully intending on eating the beasts.

Though he also knew that he wouldn’t be able to eat all the strong ones from the start nor did he knew what kind of effects it would have on him.

“Senior is it fine to Eat Immortal beasts when I’m not at the Immortal realm? The Immortal Qi in their body won’t be a problem right?” Lin Mu questioned, just in case.

“It won’t be a problem at all. If anything, it will allow you to grow quickly. There’s also a chance that the bloodline of the Great Slumber Bear might get stimulated again.” Xukong answered.

“It would get stimulated?” Lin Mu asked in doubt.

“Yes. You already know that the Great Slumber bear’s are born at the Immortal realm. And can go past the peak of the Immortal realm. The one you consumed and assimilated was barely a juvenile, so you should be able to progress this a lot more.” Xukong explained.

“Ah yes! That’s right.” Lin Mu recalled. “Then I’ll try to get as much Immortal beast meat as I can.” Lin Mu nodded his head.

Lin Mu at least knew that he could fight a First Tribulation Stage Immortal beast on his own. Combining his body cultivation and Qi cultivation provided more than enough strength to go against one and perhaps he might even be able to contend against someone at the Second Tribulation stage.

‘I’ll only know this once I get to it. For now, let’s reach the Deep Sapphire Island first.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

He continued to slide down in a spiraling path and observed the beasts outside. After ten minutes of sliding, Lin Mu felt a little strange.

“How long will it take?” Lin Mu still couldn’t see the bottom of the ‘tube’.

The twin snakes on his shoulders were also looking around with great interest. Since they were basically infants, their curiosity was at the peak. It was already lucky that they had not jumped off from Lin Mu’s shoulder and went out to look themselves.

‘Seems like the twin snakes have already formed a bond with Lin Mu. That’s good, at least they won’t wander off without him.’ Xukong observed.

“This is a little inefficient, isn’t it?” Lin Mu said. “Like if one want’s to get to the Deep Sapphire Island and back up again, it would take quite some time.”

“That’s true, but this is also a safety feature. This ‘tube’ you are sliding through is being maintained due to the presence of the Haima Tribe. Elder Niji is controlling it, and can also close it.

This will help if there are any intruders in the future. This tube could be closed and the intruders will either drown, be crushed under the pressure of the ocean or be simply devoured by the many aquatic beasts.

Additionally, it is a lot more efficient than an active defense like a formation array. This uses less energy and can defend using normal topology. This is a perfect example of establishing arrays according to the geography and topology of the area.

You should learn from it and keep it in mind for the future.” Xukong explained.

“I understand senior.” Lin Mu nodded his head.

While he couldn’t fully sense how the tube was made, he could at least learn from its structure and more. But after thirty minutes passed, Lin Mu realized something new.

“Wait a second… did the speed increase?” Lin Mu felt like the speed of sliding had increased by several times.

He could tell that the flow of water was higher too. But this was merely the start as the speed increased even more. It continued to do so until Lin Mu couldn’t even see the beasts outside of the tube.

Everything looked like a blue blur and even the flame on Lin Mu’s hand started to flicker.

~hiss~

The twin snakes hissed in displeasure being swayed left and right.

“Come back into my sleeves you two.” Lin Mu instructed before raising his hands.

~hiss~

The twins followed his command and quickly entered the sleeve, though it was obvious that they were eager to do so as well.

When it was the three hour mark, Lin Mu finally saw the bottom of the ‘tube’.

“Oh no…” Lin Mu said in nervousness.

~SPLASH~

He fell out from the tube and splashed into a large lake the same size as the one on the island above.

“Ugh… they definitely need to amend this.” Lin Mu muttered and swam out from the lake.
