Chapter 996: Potential Divination Skills? And Sign Of Little Shrubby

Now that Lin Mu knew that the Northern Tribes or Gu Yao had crystal that could provide Yang Qi, he had another reason to go after him. In fact, it was only a bigger incentive for him to raid their bases.

"But we'll need to find them first." Lin Mu spoke.

"That's true. But I don't doubt in grandfather's and Duan Ke's abilities. If anyone can track them, it would be those two. Duan Ke especially has the inheritance of her father's clan.

The Duan Clan was said to be at the peak in investigation and tracking skills." Jing Luo praised.

"That's true. I've seen her skills once before. She told me she found the invader's tracers back then." Lin Mu replied.

"See? If she could do it back then and we've been toiling for so long without any results, it is best we get them." Jing Luo agreed. "Perhaps she might have even learned the divination skills by now, haha!" he chuckled.

"Divination skills?!" Lin Mu was surprised.

"Yeah. You didn't know? It is said that the techniques and skills that were in the Duan clan's inheritance were actually descended from a great divination technique. But those were very difficult to practice and were thus adapted into tracking and investigative skills.

Though there was always a rumor that if someone talented enough was born in the Duan Clan, they would be able to finally use the divination skills." Jing Luo explained.

"That's… really amazing." Lin Mu acknowledged.

But this also gave Lin Mu some questions. He knew how rare and difficult the Divination skills and techniques were. He had read about them in the Lost immortal memories and knew that even weak ones that could be used below the Immortal realm were incredibly difficult to use.

The reason was that it wasn't just a matter or practice or proficiency; Divination greatly depended on talent. In fact, the stronger techniques could only be practiced by people who could only be one in a billion.

But then there was also the difficult part of finding them. The talent for cultivation and divination didn't go hand in hand. There could actually be someone born that was incredibly talented in divination but have crippled meridians from birth.

If it was like this, even finding them and teaching them would be impossible, not to mention the rarity of their existence. 

One would need someone that was both talented in divination and cultivation for them to be able to be of any use. 

Of course, all this was for the very extreme example. Lin Mu didn't really need someone like this. Even a normal diviner might be able to do the work here.

"If it really is like this, then with the information and insights I gave her, she might really be able to learn some divination." Xukong suddenly spoke.

"You really think so, senior?" Lin Mu asked, feeling hopeful.

"Yes. Even if she is able to divine a vague location or some time period at which we might find the enemy, with the power you have there will be no issue in capturing them or killing them, whatsoever." Xukong replied.

Hearing this, Lin Mu felt even better than before and motivation appeared in his heart.

"Though the question stands… what were they actually doing with a crystal like that?" Xukong posed.

Lin Mu's expressions turned serious as he thought about it. 

"First the Yin Qi and now the Yang Qi… I don't need to tell you that this doesn't bode well." Xukong continued.

"I know, senior. Guess we'll just have to speed up our efforts." Lin Mu stated.

He looked towards Jing Luo, who was checking the runes on the altar, trying to figure out their functions.

"Let's go. We should leave now. We got enough. I don't think we'll find anything more here." Lin Mu said.

"Yes, no use in wasting time here anymore." Jing Luo agreed.

~SHUA~

The two of them flew up and left the hole. They turned to the west and continued onwards.

~WHOOSH~

Soaring across the landscape, Lin Mu and Jing Luo soon went past the charred area. The vibrant green forest appeared again, and they felt a bit more comfortable here. Lin Mu was still on the lookout for the Northern Tribes or the Gu Legion people.

'There's no way they never came to check up on this place. Though there were no traces of them there either.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He wondered if they were waiting somewhere outside the range of that explosion site. It was, after all a base and there was a reason they had built a base there. They could have built another one around here in that time.

But the area was really vast and even with Lin Mu's strong spirit senses, he couldn't look past his limits. And he didn't have time to fly around scanning each and every place. He needed to reach the Shuang Qian Kingdom's capital.

Their journey went on for another day, after which they finally saw the mountains appearing in the distance.

"There! The East Shuang Mountains. That's the border." Jing Luo spoke up.

The East Shuang Mountains acted as a natural border between the Shuang Qian kingdom and the Eastern Ming Dynasty. Seeing those meant that Lin Mu was almost in the Shuang Qian kingdom now.

~shua~

Lin Mu sped up and soon covered the mountains.

But just as he passed over a certain point, he felt something and stopped.

"What happened?" Jing Luo questioned, seeing Lin Mu's strange state.

"Little Shrubby… I can finally sense him." Lin Mu answered.

"You do? That's great!" Jing Luo exclaimed.

"Yes. Let me try contacting him." Lin Mu said and closed his eyes.

He tried to use the link between him and Little Shrubby and sent him a message. He knew that since the distance was still very far; it was better to just send a short message.

And that is exactly what he did. He only said two words: I'm here.

Having sent those, Lin Mu held his breath in anticipation. For two minutes, nothing happened until he finally felt it.

"I'M COMING!"
