Chapter 2075 The Saintess' Warning

Chapter 2075  The Saintess' Warning

The Crown Prince's guess seemed correct to the others too, as that was the only logical explanation to it.

"And this is supposed to be a Celestial's treasure… Did they acquire it in this way, or their treasure was turned into a grave site?" Ziran wondered.

"Whatever it might be, we'll know once we enter it." Crown Prince Feng Shun said. "Daoist Mu Lin, what's the condition of the Teleportation Array? Can you activate them?" he asked.

"I don't think these are meant to be activated by us," Lin Mu answered. "These will activate on their own when the time is right. Or a certain condition is fulfilled." He added.

"Hmm… So I guess we'll have to check out the main array first." Crown Prince Feng Shun muttered.

Their main goal was a specific spatial plane, after all. The group returned to the ship which then started to move towards an island as per the directions of the compass. "Daoist Chu, why don't you go announce it to the others, we'll be disembarking soon." Crown Prince Feng Shun asked.

"Of course." Daoist Chu said before going downstairs.

While the group waited for the other members of the expedition to come up, Lin Mu was looking around the islands. His Immortal sense was able to observe several islands at once, and the Shrines that were present on them.

All of the shrines seem to be the same, as Lin Mu checked the Spatial fluctuations coming from them. The teleportation array was also the same in all of the shrines and confirmed the condition of its activation.

'Since all of them are the same, they should be linked together. They will probably activate when the true entrance to the Celestial's Inheritance is opened.' Lin Mu reckoned.

~shua~

But while he was observing all the islands, his immortal sense picked up on a strange energy fluctuation.

"What the…" Lin Mu felt a faint ache from his Immortal sense, making him surprised. He narrowed his eyes, and followed the direction where the pain had come from. This was actually the exact direction that the ship was heading towards. There was an island that was about two kilometers wide with a mountain on one half and a forest on the other. There was also a shrine here like the others, and it was located in the center of the island. Though there was a difference between this shrine and the others… there was a nefarious energy pulsing from it.

'This energy… what is this… dreadful and cold…' Lin Mu tried to sense the energy further.

He couldn't identify it right away, but could at least tell that it was probably a type of Baleful energy.

'Considering its properties, it definitely fits the bill for Baleful energies. But for it to actually transmit pain through my Immortal sense too… It's definitely not simple.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He wondered if he should inform the others, when he suddenly heard a voice in his ears.

"It's Death Energy." The Saintess' voice was heard.

"Death energy?" Lin Mu's eyes went wide. "I didn't expect you would be heading here. If you were, I'd have warned you in advance." The Saintess replied.

~shua~

Lin Mu turned his head and saw the vague figure of Saintess appearing on the deck. No one else could see her though, as she had only made herself visible to him which was normal for her to do so.

"Wait… You've been here before?" Lin Mu hadn't expected that. "When?" He asked.

"You remember when I said I have to check something out back in the Evergreen Pillars forest?" The Saintess replied. "What I had sensed was this very place." "I see… so do you know what this place is? Or if it really is a celestial's inheritance?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Like what the half elf said, it is indeed a burial ground of sorts. And from what I can tell now, this is actually a massive Spatial Plane that has been contained within some kind of a treasure. It has multiple entrances, but only one of them is probably the real one, with the others opening into a smaller fragment of a spatial plane. The death energy you felt is coming from the main section of the Spatial plane… and if there's death energy, there's probably a lot of graves inside there." The Saintess explained. "Something like this isn't easy for an immortal to control, so it does seem like a Celestial set this up." She added.

"I see… Looks like we're on the right path at least." Lin Mu replied.

"It won't be easy. If there is death energy, the danger will be quite high." The Saintess warned. "There's also the fact that the entire spatial plane has restrictions too on who can enter." "Restrictions? What kind?" Lin Mu asked since he hadn't been able to determine them himself.

"Only those below the Transcendent Immortal Realm can enter it." The Saintess revealed. "Which means, if you go inside, I won't be able to help you." She stated.

"I see…" This gave Lin Mu a bit to think about. "Even with your cultivation base restricted?" he asked.

"Yes. That is how I can tell it is indeed a Celestial's treasure. Otherwise it wouldn't have been able to detect my restricted cultivation base." The Saintess answered.

"Hmm, guess I'll have to deal with it on my own." Lin Mu said, not feeling any apprehensions.

He didn't mind that the Saintess was going to be unable to enter with him. Lin Mu was used to taking risks himself and knew that he shouldn't fall into the habit of having protection from others all the time.

Plus the Saintess had already helped him several times before, thus asking her for it again would not be appropriate.

Then there was the fact that Xukong always emphasized to Lin Mu; he could only grow though facing danger and overcoming obstacles himself. Without that he would be lacking in his capabilities and fall into a state of false confidence.
