Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2000 A Day Till Arrival

Now that the message was sent, all that they had to do was wait.

"How long would it take for the Ever Spring Mistress to get here though?" Lin Mu questioned, trying to estimate the sheer distance she would have to travel.

Even if she was going to use a teleportation array, Lin Mu guessed there would be some formalities she would have to go through before that. 'Senior Xukong also said that, passing through the realms is not a simple thing. The immortal courts and those above regulate the passage of the cultivators between them. At least through the official paths…' Lin Mu recalled.

Traveling from one immortal world to the other was not easy, and going from one section of the immortal world to the other was also not simple. But going from one realm to the other was even harder.

There were several ways to do so, but not all of them were safe.

The safest method was none other than taking the official realm transfer array that would allow one to cross over without needing to enter the Grand Void. But this was strictly controlled by the Immortal Court and those above them.

This prevented any strong individual from causing havoc in the lower realms. Other than this, there were a few more methods. The first was none other than taking a route that couldn't be stopped by anyone. It was to enter the Grand Void and then navigate one's route until they could exit into the realm they wanted to go to.

This was of course… Terribly dangerous. There was no fixed path, and one would have to go in blind, trying to figure out their way.

Even for Celestials, it wasn't something they might come out of unscathed. Besides, with how unpredictable the Grand Void was, unless one was well versed with the Spatial element, or very strong, they would have a bad time.

Then there was a second method that one could take, which was a bit safer.

This was to enter through a 'gate' of sorts. Xukong hadn't told Lin Mu much about this, other than the fact that there were natural 'gates' present between the realms. Where these gates existed was unknown, but if one could find it, they could very well use them to cross over.

Of course, there were dangers present at the gate too.

Xukong only had a few words for that: Avoid them.

Lin Mu took that warning and hoped that it would never come to that point. But knowing all this meant, he knew it would not be easy for the Ever Spring Mistress to arrive at the Rust Sky world.

"She should be here by tomorrow." But the Saintess' words left Lin Mu dumbstruck.

"T-tomorrow? Isn't that kinda too fast?" Lin Mu was truly shocked.

"The Ever Spring Mistress has direct access to the realm transfer arrays and is also in a good relationship with the courts. There won't be any issues for her to come here." The Saintess replied. "Besides, I'm sure she'll be pulling in favors to skip the queue. There's no way she'll be able to stay patient after all this time." She added.

A rough image of the Ever Spring Mistress' reach started to form in Lin Mu's mind. 'Looks like the Ever Spring Mistress is in a high standing with the immortal courts…' Lin Mu thought.

"You can do whatever you want for now." The Saintess said, bringing Lin Mu out of his thoughts.

"Ah yeah, I wanted to check up on the formation array of the Morning Glory Clan and we need to tell them about the incoming guest anyways." Lin Mu replied. "I'm still confused as to how a hole was made in the barrier too." The Saintess gave a little nod and let Lin Mu leave. Though in her mind, she already knew what was the cause.

'Though I suppose it is good he wants to figure it out on his own.' The Saintess thought and opened a path for Lin Mu to exit through. After all, with the clouds surrounding the courtyard, there was no way for Lin Mu to leave directly.

~shua~

Lin Mu made his way to the main hall first, as he needed to talk to Clan head Guang San and Princess Feng Lan.

Along the way, he saw several Morning Glory Clan members that were hard at work. They seemed to be getting the entire clan ready for a big event and there were decorations being put up.

'Guess even without me telling, they're already preparing for the arrival of the Ever Spring Mistress.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He observed a bit more and reckoned they would be finished in a few more hours. Lin Mu moved on to the main hall after seeing this and was immediately granted entry. ~chatter~chatter~chatter~

Just as he had thought, the main hall was currently bustling with activity. There were over a hundred clan members present inside. There were elders, normal members as well as servants mixed in them along with the Clan Head and the Princess Feng Lan.

Lin Mu picked up on several conversations, and all of them were to do with the arrival of the 'great guest'. The Clan head couldn't simply tell everyone that a Celestial was arriving, and as such, could only say that someone as important as the Emperor Feng was going to arrive soon. He made everyone rush and made sure that everything was in the best condition possible.

It was the first time a Celestial was going to grace their clan, and as such, there was no way they could afford to slack.

"Daoist Mu Lin." Of course, Clan Head Guang San noticed the moment Lin Mu had entered the hall.

"It seems like you all will be ready for the visit soon." Lin Mu spoke.

"You bring further news of it?" Princess Feng Lan's eyes lit up.

"The guest will arrive tomorrow." Lin Mu answered with a nod.
