Chapter 1015 - A Moment To Change Destinies

Lin Mu didn't know that he had just changed the destiny of tens of thousands of people today.

With the clarity that they had gained in that brief moment, they felt like they knew what their goals in life should be. Those that were muddled about their aims suddenly knew what they wanted.

Those that were indecisive about the royal scholar exams suddenly found the syllabus to be easy to grasp. The poor and downtrodden suddenly found their lives getting easier despite the fact that their burdens were the same.

Just that small moment was enough to elevate them, and allow them to go on; possibly allowing them to be great in the future.

The cultivators that were stuck for a long time at the same point suddenly felt their bottlenecks loosening. It was as if they very heavens were helping them as the spirit Qi started flowing into their bodies automatically.

Hundreds of people broke through at the same time.

These were the commoners, the average cultivators who would have never had the chance to join sects. Many of them were at the end of their lifespans while some were just starting their journey, which was possibly coming to a quick end.

And yet today, all of them were given a new lease on life.

Little Shrubby kept on running, unaffected by Lin Mu's chants though. He was possibly the only one here that was used to them and would not be affected easily. He had heard them more than anyone in the world possibly.

Besides, to Little Shrubby as long as he had his master, he had no other qualms. He had not to bottleneck to breakthrough, and neither did he have any sorrows. The chants were like air to him.

Six hours pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.

Little Shrubby had already crossed a quarter of the Black Dawn Kingdom in this time.

"Huh?" Lin Mu suddenly woke up from his trance.

He looked around and saw that they were now in an entirely different region. His spirit sense compared the lay of the land with the maps he had and estimated that he was near one of the major cities of the black Dawn kingdom.

The city was called as the Amber Wold city. It was named after the wold1 it was located on. This area was slightly different from the other places and didn't have black soil. Instead, it had a faint amber layer of soil on top of it.

"The Amber Wold City, huh been a long time since I've been here." Jing Luo had woken up by now as well.

He understood that he had just gained a lot in these brief six hours, but he didn't complain. He didn't even wonder how it happened, just accepting it as a fortunate encounter.

His cultivation base had certainly progressed and the growth of his Dao Sh.e.l.l had increased as well by a percent. For a mere six hours, this progress was ma.s.sive.

"What did you come here for before?" Lin Mu asked.

"The last time I came here was over seventy years ago. I was still in the Qi refining realm and had come here with my uncle." Jing Luo replied.

"Oh? Did you come to find some resources again as well? Like in the Hong Lin kingdom?" Lin Mu asked curiously.

"You got that right. We came here to get some of the Ambers that can be found in this region. Amber Wold city is the biggest place to get them and they are traded in thousands here." Jing Luo replied.

"I see" Lin Mu nodded his head.

Lin Mu cursorily glanced at the city and scanned it over with his spirit sense.

His expression turned stern after a few seconds, though.

"What happened? Did you find something?" Jing Luo questioned.

"I did another mutant beast." Lin Mu answered.

Jing Luo's expression turned serious as well.

"How many is that now? Three?" Jing Luo said.

"Yes one under each major city." Lin Mu spoke.

"Looks like a pattern to me." Jing Luo replied.

"Indeed. Gu Yao might be keeping them as trump cards." Lin Mu guessed.

"Of course. Release them all when push comes to shove and let them wreak havoc. The sects and kingdom's forces will be forced to deal with them while he can do whatever he wants." Jing Luo replied.

Lin Mu simply nodded in response to this. To him, Gu Yao would certainly keep a tactic like this hidden.

"You gonna deal with it?" Jing Luo asked.

"It'll just take five minutes." Lin Mu said as he disappeared.

His body rapidly descended while teleporting, undetectable to the naked eyes. He pa.s.sed through the formation array of the city as if it was nothing but paper and quickly entered the ground.

He appeared in an underground cave that was clearly man made and looked at the mutated beast that was chained here. It was similar to what he had seen before and there were hundreds of thousands of runes carved into the walls and ceiling.

~clang~

The chains were tugged slightly as the beast woke up. It looked up and found Lin Mu floating there.

"GR" But before it could even let out a roar, it was suppressed.

"Silence." Lin Mu stated as a crus.h.i.+ng pressure descended on the beast.

The mutated beast had a strength equivalent to that of the adult soul stage of the Nascent soul realm and could very easily hurt a lot of people if it was unleashed. Not to mention, normal Nascent soul realm cultivators would not be its match at all and would be infected by it as well.

Even a Dao Sh.e.l.l realm cultivator would find it a bit difficult to deal with. But this city didn't have any Dao sh.e.l.l realm cultivators at all, which only meant that when this beast was released, it would basically be the death sentence.

Lin Mu pointed with his hand and the s.p.a.ce around the beast froze. Waving his hand, he split apart the beast into several pieces before storing them all in the ring and letting them be purged by the spatial energy.
