Walker Of The Worlds

The Skylark City was the capital of the Province that Lin Mu was currently in.

And being the capital city, it also housed the Transcontinental Teleportation array.

That was Lin Mu’s true aim in coming here and only by using it would he be able to reach the Holy Topaz Continent. That was where his source of desire laid and without it being resolved, Lin Mu wouldn’t have true peace.

“It truly is big… bigger than even the Imperial Capital of the Great Zhou Empire…” Lin Mu said after seeing the city.

He observed the topography of the area, finding it to be artificial. The plateau looked to be a title too even, even if its shape was uneven.

‘It’s as if a small mountain range was sliced off cleanly.’ Lin Mu thought.

It wouldn’t be wrong either, as Lin Mu had heard of many settlements being made like this. It seemed to be a trend in the cultivation world to flatten mountains and turn them into a place of residence.

There were many sects, cities and even entire kingdoms being built like this, Skylark City being no different.

“There’s a temple of the Four Guardian beasts here too… if you wish to visit it.” The Saintess’s voice was heard.

Lin Mu turned to the side and found her standing there. He had almost forgotten about her during the journey only knowing that she said she’ll keep up with them.

‘She really did keep up with Little Shrubby’s speed…’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

And looking at the Saintess, it didn’t look like she was the least bit exhausted.

“I’ll take a look if we have the time. I first need to check when’s the next time slot for the Transcontinental array’s activation.” Lin Mu replied.

“Alright.” The Saintess said before disappearing.

Lin Mu looked back at the Skylark city and observed it for a while.

The Saintess on the other hand, was watching Lin Mu and Little Shrubby while staying invisible.

‘Speed Comparable to a Sixth Tribulation Stage immortal… this is already a great advantage. And it doesn’t seem like this is the limit either, his speed should increase more with his cultivation base.’ The Saintess analyzed.

Unlike Lin Mu who didn’t have much to compare the speed against, the Saintess had a lot more experience. She had actually been observing Little Shrubby the entire time and also analyzing his energy fluctuations.

While Lin Mu had told her that Little Shrubby was fast, she didn’t know how fast. Then there was the fact that even if an expert was very fast, there was a limit to how long they could maintain such speed.

But in the case of Little Shrubby, the Saintess could tell that the beast wasn’t strained at all. In fact, it seemed like he would be able to keep on running like that for days on end.

‘His immortal Qi consumption is also very stable. There is barely any energy being wasted and the beast also absorbs more immortal Qi passively.’ The Saintess was quite impressed.

“This speed is almost comparable to a Juvenile Thunder Roc, isn’t it?” She came to a conclusion.

She wondered just how much the effect of the Thunderbolt Cheetah’s bloodline will be on Little Shrubby.

‘He’s already exceeded the limits of what a Flash Fire Liger can achieve in terms of speed. The continued increase must be coming from the Thunderbolt Cheetah bloodline.’ The Saintess guessed.

Lin Mu was unaware of the Saintess’s thoughts and was currently looking through a jade slip.

‘Hmm… The Transcontinental array is located at the very center of the city, so it shouldn’t be hard to find it. Though I’ll also need to book a slot if I am to use it.’ Lin Mu thought after checking the jade slip. “Hopefully I can get a slot in the next activation.” He muttered.

The comprehensive information set that Lin Mu had bought from the Black Candle Pavilion also included maps of many cities and areas, thus making it easy for Lin Mu to find his way.

“Return for now Little Shrubby.” Lin Mu instructed.

“Alrighty, I’ll wait for you to call me again.” Little Shrubby said before being sent into the Sleepscape.

Having done this, he quickly made his way to Skylark city.

Being the Capital of a province, Skylark city had different rules that were a lot more strict.

The biggest one being that no one could fly in the city without permission. This was unlike the port city where everyone was flying as they pleased.

Lin Mu landed at the base of the plateau as that was the entry point of the city. One had to walk all the way up or they would be arrested. The distance to the top was through a winding road, that was several tens of meters wide.

It was well made, and one didn’t have much trouble covering it. Of course, for Lin Mu, thus distance was nothing, and he simply ran across it in five minutes.

He wasn’t the only one doing this either, so it didn’t seem unusual.

In fact, one could see several vehicles and other immortal tools that were being used to carry cultivators. There were even elaborate carriages being pulled by immortal beasts.

Just by looking at these, it was obvious that it belonged to some very rich cultivators.

Lin Mu didn’t care for any of these though and simply reached the entry gate of the city.

~SHUA~

Upon passing through, Lin Mu could feel an array scanning him and his cultivation base. Thankfully, it didn’t probe deep, and was just a basic identity scan that was common for cities like this.

‘At least I don’t have to register here…’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

There were several guards at the gate too, but they were just standing there like statues, not bothering with anyone. It was evident that the people of the city were very trusting of its array and didn’t think that anyone would cause trouble.

Which was soon going to be proven wrong…
