Walker Of The Worlds

The formation of the entire armor meant that Lin Mu had fully executed the technique.

Lin Mu's body was covered in tough, rocky armor that could endure a lot of damage.

"This is good." Lin Mu didn't even need to test out how tough the armor was, as he could tell that simply with the use of his Immortal sense.

The armor was highly impervious to immortal Qi, as long as it was considered a threat. It seemed to defend against any attack if it was considered dangerous automatically, which made Lin Mu realize that it was capable of responding in some way on its own.

'But the response time can be further improved. I need it to activate on instinct.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

This was something that couldn't be done right away, and needed regular practice.

"Still, this is decent progress for now." Lin Mu muttered to himself, feeling satisfied.

Instead of further practicing this, Lin Mu decided to move on to the third component of the Longgui Bulwark Armor. He needed to successfully use all three components at least before he would consider the technique learned.

'Time for the hard part.' Lin Mu thought in his mind, as he continued maintaining the armor.

The Third Component of the Longgui Bulwark Armor was called as the Magma Fury and involved melting and hardening the magma to make claws out of them. Though, it wasn't just restricted to claws either, as long as one's control over the technique was good enough, one could do anything with it.

"Here we go…" Lin Mu took a deep breath and added fire elemental immortal Qi to the armor once more, melting a part of it down.

This much was simple, as Lin Mu had already been doing this when making the armor, but now that he wanted to make the claws, it got complex.

He needed to turn a part of the magma hard while keeping the rest fluid. In addition to that, if he wanted better movements, he would also have to vary the level of hardness, making some parts flexible and others completely rigid.

~shua~

The Magma moved in the air and extended in front of Lin Mu in an elongated form. Slowly, it started to change its shape, taking on a claw like form.

Lin Mu had decided to go with the default claw form that he had seen the Dragon Turtle use when he was obtaining the technique. It was easier to replicate something he had seen, rather than making something entirely new. As such, he followed the preexisting method.

Of course, compared to the Dragon Turtle, Lin Mu's magma claws were nowhere on the same level.

Unlike the giant hill sized claws of the Dragon Turtle, Lin Mu's Magma claws were about the size of a man's hands.

The Knuckles of the claws were solid, tough, and hard, while magma flowed between them. The claws were crude at first, but Lin Mu worked on them more, trying to make them sharper.

'I need to increase the ratio of Metal Elemental Immortal Qi in the claws…' Lin Mu understood and did it.

~SHING~

A few seconds later, the claws transformed and turned sharper as if they were fine knives!

~TEAR~

Lin Mu swung the claw through the air, causing a wave of energy to spread from it and hit the water.

~SPLASH~

~HISS~

The water splashed high, while part of it directly evaporated from the heat.

"It'll do for now." Lin Mu smiled at seeing the working technique.

As much as he'd like to practice more, he knew this wasn't the place for it. He didn't wish to cause damage here and also realized he had already been here for quite some time.

'It's been six hours… I shouldn't overstay my welcome.' Lin Mu thought.

After all, the immortal Qi here wasn't infinite. And it wasn't just him absorbing it, but also Little Shrubby and the twin snakes.

Together, they had a high absorption rate of Immortal Qi and had probably consumed an amount that a hundred other cultivators would consume in the same time. Though Lin Mu knew that the hot springs had made it easier for him to practice the Longgui Bulwark Armor.

"Now that I've got a hang of it, using it elsewhere shouldn't be a problem either." Lin Mu said to himself.

~shua~

With that done, he got out of the water.

"Time to leave, Little Shrubby, Xiao Yin, Xiao Yang." Lin Mu called out to the beasts.

"Already?" Little Shrubby opened his eyes, having fallen asleep a while back.

"Yes." Lin Mu nodded his head. "It's been six hours already."

~hiss~

"Okay…" the Twins replied in unison.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

Lin Mu sent them all back to the Sleepless and walked up to the wooden bridge. His robes appeared on him automatically before they transformed into the style that Lin Mu had selected in the Silver Mirage Circlet.

'I should add more designs in it perhaps…' Lin Mu noted in his mind.

It only had a few of them that were present by default, and Lin Mu hadn't really gotten around to adding more of them.

~step~step~step~

As he was walking over the Wooden Bridge though, he heard some other footsteps.

"Mm?" Lin Mu saw one of the clan members appearing.

"Ah, Daoist Mu Lin!" The Shuijing Clan member noticed that Lin Mu was already heading towards him.

"Was I called?" Lin Mu guessed.

"Yes, the Head Elder has called for you. He's asking whether you would like to observe the creation of one of our signature glass weapons?" The clan member asked.

"Really? That'd be great." Lin Mu had been interested in them and would finally get to see them.

"Please come with me. They'll be starting soon." The Shuijing clan member said before taking the lead.

The two left the peak and went out of the area of the Shuijing clan.

"Where are we going?" Lin Mu asked, seeing that they were heading to the other peaks.
