Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Chapter 1022 - Entering The Ancestral Lands

Lin Mu and Jing Luo watched as a small dot of light appeared in the air.

It hovered there lightly before it elongated into a vertical line.

~shua~

Then suddenly, it expanded horizontally, turning into a light curtain. And when it was fully expanded, the three of them felt a strong force tugging at them.

~WHOOSH~

Lin Mu, Jing Luo and Little shrubby were all sucked into the light curtain and disappeared. The Light curtain too faded away, leaving behind nothing. Lin Mu felt his vision turning white.

He could not see anything else than a bright white light. Even after he closed his eyes, the light which had burned into his retinas was still there. He felt as if he was soaring through the air, but didn't feel any air touching his skin.

It was a strange feeling of weightlessness which Lin Mu had only felt once before when he had escaped the fragment of the Ripple Mist Sect's sacred ground. A minute passed by like this before Lin Mu finally felt like he had stopped moving.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw the new scenery in front of him.

"This…" Lin Mu was surprised.

In front of him was a vast sea, the end of which could not be seen. The horizon extended infinitely, but Lin Mu could tell that this was a mere illusion and it wasn't actually like this. If he actually traveled in that direction, he would end up hitting a barrier at the end.

He looked in the other direction and saw vast plains, hills and mountains. There was lush greenery spread everywhere along with flowers that were filled with the colors of rainbow. Small spirit beasts roamed around the plains and the melodic cries of birds could also be heard as they flew through the skies.

"Despite hearing about the ancestral lands from grandfather in the past, this place is even more beautiful. His words were not enough to describe the place's beauty…" Jing Luo spoke.

~sniff~ sniff~

Little Shrubby sniffed the air, trying to get a sense of the area and what beings were here.

Lin Mu too spread his spirit sense around and quickly grasped the lay of the land. And when his spirit sense was fully extended, it directly hit the barrier of the minor plane.

'So it extends about fifty kilometers in the direction of the sea huh…' Lin Mu took note.

On the other side, Lin Mu discovered that the area was wider than a hundred kilometer. Though he also realized the curvature of the coast, making him think that this place was actually an island!

But after scanning as much area as he could with his spirit sense here, Lin Mu didn't find the people he had come here for.

"I don't sense them here… where are they?" Lin Mu muttered as his brows furrowed. Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

"Come, the ancestral lands of the Ji clan are very wide. We need to travel further deep to find it." Jing Luo spoke.

"Alright." Lin Mu said as the three of them started to move.

They didn't ride on Little Shrubby though, as they wanted to search everything a lot more carefully. And it was worth it for Lin Mu, too. He saw a myriad of spirit herbs and fruits along the way, some of which were even extinct in the Xiaofan world.

Though he also discovered the fact that the place was lacking in spirit beasts. The strongest beasts here were merely at the core condensation realm and most were simply at the Qi refining realm.

The Trio traveled for about an hour before they reached a mountain that was rather peculiar. It looked like there was an additional peak sprouting from the original one from the angle they were standing at.

"Hang on… isn't that…" Lin Mu finally recognized.

"The Myriad Armament Canopy Abode…" Jing Luo said as he gazed at the pseudo immortal spirit tool.

The Myriad Armament Canopy Abode was attached to the side of a mountain and looked like a mountain in itself. At the top of it, a flat plateau was seen on which the great mansion was located.

"Are they there?" Lin Mu wondered while he scanned the area with his spirit sense.

But upon reaching the Myriad Armament Canopy abode, he found it to be empty.

"They are not there either." Lin Mu said with slight confusion.

"Oh yeah, if they are at the ancestral lands it wouldn't make sense to stay at the Myriad Armament Canopy abode when they have an even better place to live." Jing Luo replied.

"What is that place?" Lin Mu questioned.

"I've only heard stories about it from grandfather a long time ago, and he told me that there is a large castle with several courtyards in the middle of the ancestral lands. It is the true heart of the Jing Clan." Jing Luo answered.

Hearing this, Lin Mu felt rather interested in this. He already knew that the Myriad Armament Canopy abode was filled with dense spirit Qi that helped greatly in cultivation. And if the area told by Jing Luo had even better spirit Qi, it would be very powerful.

He couldn't wait to reach it.

"How far is it? What do you think?" Lin Mu questioned.

"If the Myriad Armament Canopy Abode is here, it shouldn't be too far. I'm sure we are almost at the center of the ancestral lands now." Jing Luo answered.

"Let's continue then." Lin Mu said, and they went further.

After about five minutes, Little Shrubby spoke.

"I can smell new scents." Little Shrubby said.

Jing Luo was surprised and wondered what this was about, so Lin Mu translated for him.

"He can sense them. They are nearby." Lin Mu replied.

"Let's speed up then!" Jing Luo said.

The three of them started to run and when they finally crossed a tall mountain, they could see the great castle that was hidden behind it.. It wasn't like anything Lin Mu had seen before, and even Jing Luo was lost for words.
