Chapter 1545 The Central Area Of The Blood Strewn Plains

The Saintess was greatly interested in the twins' progress and wanted to study them further. After all, the Ancestral serpents were the legacy of the Serpent Moon Sect and they had been looking for them for countless years.

"Alright, that's good." Lin Mu was pleased that she wasn't leaving right now.

"I'll augment your speed." The Saintess spoke.

"Just like before?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes, but this will be a bit stronger." The Saintess replied.

"Even stronger?" Lin Mu raised his brows.

The boost that the Saintess had given him before was already enough to increase his speed to almost the same level as Little Shrubby. He had thought that she would give a boost of the same level which, combined with Little Shrubby's speed, would be even greater.

But a boost stronger than that made Lin Mu wonder just what level their speed would reach.

"Get ready." The Saintess spoke and extended her palm towards Lin Mu.

~SHUA~

A pattern appeared on her palm, that had several runes on it. They were made in a circular pattern, and some of the runes seemed to be missing from it. Lin Mu observed the circle and estimated that there should have been about eight runes on it originally.

'There are four now...' Lin Mu counted.

~WHOOSH~

Just as he was thinking that, one of the runes lit up and flew out of her palm, reducing their numbers to just three. It transformed into an energy that directly covered Lin Mu and Little Shrubby.

'Do they have a limited number of uses?' Lin Mu wondered.

He didn't know what the Saintess was using, but it was certainly something that normal immortals would be unable to do.

Just the Sky Parasol and the speed boosts she had given them were skills that were likely beyond the immortal realm, or were at the very peak.

'When she made the Sky Parasol, she chanted the name of the technique too... Celestial Sylph Arts.' Lin Mu recalled. 'Is it a technique of the Celestial Realm?' he guessed.

~SHUA~

While Lin Mu was thinking about this, Little Shrubby began his sprint.

In just a couple of leaps, they had traveled tens of kilometer and barely a few seconds had passed.

~BOOM~

Then with a sonic boom, their speed exceed sound and they traveled at a blinding pace. It was far greater than Little Shrubby's own speed, and even Lin Mu was having a hard time observing things.

'Can you handle this speed?' Lin Mu asked, knowing that Little Shrubby was likely unable to see clearly either.

'I can if I use my immortal sense,' Little Shrubby replied through their link.

At the speed they were traveling, speaking was useless, as the sound wouldn't even reach their ears. Plus, the wind going past them would make the sound inaudible anyway.

They continued at this speed for about five minutes, after which the speed augmentation provided by the Saintess had started to fade away. Little Shrubby's speed fell and soon reached his original speed.

'So five minutes is its limit... still, this time is enough for us to cover a massive area.' Lin Mu didn't even know how far they had come by now.

"Stop, little Shrubby." Lin Mu ordered.

~WHOOSH~

Little Shrubby slowed his pace before digging his claws into the ground, ripping long streaks across it.

"Looks like we're still in the Blood Strewn Plains." Lin Mu said after taking a look around.

This was expected, since the Blood Strewn Plains were said to be one of the largest areas of the Desolate Blood Battlefield. In fact, it was even said that the true scope of the Desolate Blood Battlefield was actually unknown.

Any records about its exact size and area had long since gone missing or had been lost to the annals of time. After all, this was an area that belonged to the power that had lost in the battle.

~THUD~

Lin Mu got down from Little Shrubby's back and tried to estimate where they were according to the map he had.

"Hmm... there's nothing specific to reference here." Lin Mu scanned the area.

There were supposedly several reference landmarks in the Blood Strewn Plains, but due to how fast they had traveled, they had gone past several of them.

"We've come more than fifteen hundred kilometers from the previous spot." The Saintess informed, seeing that Lin Mu was confused.

"Fifteen hundred kilometers?!" Lin Mu was quite shocked, but calmed down a few seconds later. 'If we're fifteen hundred kilometers from the previous location, then...' He compared the coordinates according to the maps.

"Oh? We're roughly around the center of the Blood Strewn Plains." Lin Mu realized.

This was also the area that was said to be very rich in resources, and all one had to do was search well.

~huu~

"At least we've come to the right place... the chances of us finding an Immortal Stone mine should be better here." Lin Mu spoke.

The Saintess heard Lin Mu's ambitious words and raised her brows slightly.

'I wonder if he'll be able to find them on his own?' The Saintess was curious too. 'Even I'll have a hard time finding them without my original cultivation base. Especially with the bloody aura tainting this area, finding the traces of the Immortal Stones will be difficult.' She thought to herself.

She looked at her palms as the pattern flashed on it once more.

On her right hand, there was just one rune left, while on her left palm, there were three runes left.

'Using the Celestial Sylph Arts took seven runes and the Speed Augments took five runes... I've already used up so many... I need to accumulate them once more.' The Saintess thought before looking at the Yin Yang Twin Serpents. 'But leaving them also feels risky.' She was in a dilemma.

~Sigh~

After a minute, she let out a silent sigh and made up her mind.

'I still have four of the runes left. They should be enough for now. Plus, Lin Mu should be able to handle most of the troubles.' She reckoned.
