2278 The Crown Prince's a.s.sistance

Lin Mu's words made both Crown Prince Feng Shun and Lady Kang raise their brows.

"Oh? And what help do you need from me?" Crown Prince Feng Shun replied quickly.

He wasn't going to deny something like that after all, but still needed to know if there was something that he could actually help with.

"It's something that you are well versed in." Lin Mu replied. "The wind." "Oh? You wish to learn how to control the Wind Element?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked before he remembered something. "Now that I think of it, you did learn the Bending Will Fists too right?" "I did yes." Lin Mu nodded. "Then you should already have some idea about it." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "Though if you wish to fully control the Wind Element, it'll still be dependent on our elemental affinity itself." He added.

"Well, I don't necessarily need to learn how to control the element itself. I merely need to get an understanding of it." Lin Mu stated. "My reason to learn it is actually to enhance my understanding of the Sky Dao." He explained.

"Sky Dao?" Crown Prince Feng Shun furrowed his brows before he realized it. "The Grand Bagua Mythic Series You're learning the Qian Series." He spoke.

"Indeed." Lin Mu nodded his head. "I'm learning the Cloud Dragon Stride from the Qian Series." He added.

"No wonder I've taken a look at it, but so far I've had no progress." Crown Prince Feng Shun was the one to transcribe it as such had read it fully.

"It is indeed one of the most difficult techniques I've seen." Lin Mu nodded. "But I've had some progress in it." He revealed.

"Oh?" Lady Kang was intrigued by it too.

She knew just how difficult any technique from the Grand Bagua Mythic Series were to learn, with most people taking a few hundred years to understand it. Eventually most would just give up on it since the effort they had put into learning it was not worth the gains they had.

Most people that had managed to learn the Grand Bagua Mythic Series had usually been those that had great talent, or those that were relentless in their effort.

Only such individuals were capable of learning a technique like that.

"I managed to learn the footwork of the technique, but learning the Dao part is difficult." Lin Mu said before explaining how he had divided the technique.

It took him a while to explain it all, but after that, Crown Prince Feng Shun and Lady Kang were quite impressed.

"To think it could be learned in this way too" Crown Prince Feng Shun muttered.

"Rather than that, I'm surprised the technique can even work when its divided. Most techniques and skills simply collapsed if you remove their components." Lady Kang replied. "I suppose thats the reason why each of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series techniques are considered as very profound." She added.

"Indeed." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded. "I suppose I'll help you then." He finally agreed.

"Great!" Lin Mu couldn't wait to start.

"Though I do not know how much of a help I would be. The Sky Dao is something that's unknown to me too. But if its wind and lightning I can at least let you get a certain level of understanding." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. Both the elements were components of the sky, thus it was all the good to Lin Mu.

With that done, the two headed outside while Lady Kang followed along, feeling very curious as to how it would go.

The method that Crown Prince Feng Shun used to teach Lin Mu was rather straightforward. Instead of teaching him any methods, he simply let the man get used to wind around him.

~WHOOSH~

Crown Prince Feng Shun used the Storm king Immortal arts to create a flurry of winds that he launched towards Lin Mu.

"You simply need to endure them and comprehend the wind." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "I believe it is something that'll be fine for you." He added.

"Yeah, this much is no issue." Lin Mu nodded his head.

Of course, the power that Crown Prince Feng Shun used was by no means weak. In fact it would be more than enough to kill a first or a second tribulation stage cultivator. But to Lin Mu, it might as well be a strong wind during a storm.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

The winds swirled around him, as Lin Mu stood in it with his eyes closed. His Immortal sense was spread around him, and he felt every sliver of wind, every particle of air that moved and gave the momentum to the wind.

He could feel the Wind Elemental Qi that composed the wind, as well as the power it carried within it.

Lin Mu stood like this in the wind for several hours before he spoke.

"You can raise the intensity." Lin Mu stated.

"Alright." Crown Prince Feng Shun agreed and did exactly that.

~WOOM~

The power of the wind was raised by at least fifty percent, as Lin Mu was almost forced to move back. But he simply released a bit of his weight and held no without moving. Once he was stable he could focus on the wind more.

Lady Kang watched as the two men continued their training and the time pa.s.sed.

It didn't take long before an entire week had pa.s.sed by.

Lin Mu and Crown Prince Feng Shun had been at it nonstop, but none of the men seemed to be tired. Lady Kang, on the other hand, simply sat there while cultivating herself too. She would take a look from time to time, but unless there was some major change, there wasn't a need for her to focus too much.

'They are certainly quite patient to go through this method.' Lady Kang thought to herself.

It was not exactly the most efficient method, but considering their limited options, it was till good enough.

Though this was only the start, as the two continued for week after week. An entire month pa.s.sed like this, after which Crown Prince Feng Shun was forced to stop.

~huu~

"I think We should take a break." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "Ah, yeah." Lin Mu realized that the Crown Prince had probably expended a ma.s.sive amount of Qi in all this. "You can rest Crown Prince. I'll cultivate on my own for the time being." He added.

"Mmhmm." Crown Prince Feng Shun said before taking his leave and returning to his room.

With him gone, only Lin Mu and Lady Kang were now left.

"If you are to comprehend the Sky Dao, wouldn't it be better to make an array for it?" Lady Kang suggested.

"I did think about that, but a mere illusory array won't work." Lin Mu shook his head. "It might give the sensations of the Sky but it won't be the same. I still need to experience it all on my own." He explained.

"Hmm I suppose you will need a proper training array that sects use then." Lady Kang replied after thinking for a minute.

"Yes, something like that would work." Lin Mu nodded his head. "But making an array like that is not possible here. Not only would it need a bigger area, the conditions needed for it are also rather specific." He added.

"True. They need to be very stable to work properly." Lady Kang knew in the limited area they had with the dangers around them, making an array like that was not viable. Not to mention the cost of making an array like that was not cheap either. And once an array like that was made, it could not be moved and disa.s.sembling it would not really returning all the materials. As such, it would ultimately be a loss.

Plus, they weren't meant to be here for long and could need to move at anytime.

~step~step~step~

As they were talking though, footsteps were heard. The two looked over to see none other than Ziran walk out.

"Finished?" Ziran asked. "I saw Crown Prince return."

"He needs to rest." Lin Mu replied. "How about you? Hows your eyes now?" he asked.

"Here to test exactly that." Ziran replied as he walked up to the edge and activated the skill.

~SHUA~

Lin Mu could feel the subtle change of aura around the man, as the Eyes of the Underdark were activated.

Lady Kang watched it curiously too as it was her first time seeing something like this.

"It's a lot better." Ziran spoke.

"Your eyes?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes, but I mean the Death Qi." Ziran replied, making the two get closer. "The Death Qi density has certainly fallen compared to last month." "By how much?" Lin Mu asked, as they couldn't see much of a difference on their own.

"I'd say at least twenty percent." Ziran answered.

"Twenty percent?" Lady Kang hadn't expected that. "If this keeps up We'll be able to get out in the next four months, wouldn't we?" Chapter is fixed
