Chapter 565 - Turn Back?

The Black Water Snake suddenly started to float in the air as the spirit Qi vortex poured into him.

~shua~

The Fire Fang Snake was the next one to float up as the spirit Qi cortex infused spirit Qi into her too.

"Both of them are having a breakthrough at the same time..." Lin Mu muttered.

It was a rather unique situation that rarely ever happened in the world. Most of the creatures of cultivators would choose to be far away from others in order to be undisturbed and have a safe breakthrough.

A simultaneous breakthrough like this was unheard of in this world. The phenomenon caused by the two beasts breaking through at the same time caused an upheaval in the forest.

The concentration of spirit Qi in the air increased multiple folds and a mist appeared everywhere.

"Is this... spirit Qi? It has become visible?" Lin Mu said feeling amazed.

~Roar~

~howl~

~Chirp~

The sounds of three different beasts could be heard coming from afar. Lin Mu felt like he could tell what they meant.

"They seem to be... rejoicing?" Lin Mu sensed.

He then turned to look at the two snakes whose auras were increasing by the minute. But while looking there he felt like he saw the illusion of a mountain again. This time it was a bit more clear as the mist would disappear around it.

"What is that?" Lin Mu couldn’t help but say.

This time the illusion was visible for longer but it did eventually fade.

~Sigh~

Lin Mu looked within his Dantian and saw that the tribulation lightning was still arcing around, trying to replace an exit.

"When will this reach my core?" Lin Mu wondered.

~Tremble~

"Huh?" Lin Mu suddenly felt a strong fluctuation of spirit Qi coming from the side. He turned around and saw that it was coming from the mountains where the Ripple Mist Sect was located.

The mountains were barely visible due to the dense spirit Qi mist that had appeared by Lin Mu could sense the waves very clearly.

"These spirit Qi waves... they are not from a Nascent Soul realm Cultivator... they are stronger than the patriarch of the Tri Cauldron Peony Sect and even Gu Yao." Lin Mu said.

"Quick, you need to leave. It’s a Dao Shell realm cultivator! They must be coming here to check the phenomenon. The heavenly tribulation must have caught their attention." Xukong said.

Lin Mu realized that a single beast’s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm might not have attracted them but two beasts breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm at once brought a completely different type of a heavenly tribulation. This was evidently more than enough for a Dao Shell realm expert’s interest to be piqued.

Lin Mu gritted his teeth and summoned the short sword before calling out to little Shrubby.

"LITTLE SHRUBBY COME!" Lin Mu said through his link.

~Whoosh~

The spirit Qi mist was blown away as a reddish blur arrived at great speed, causing a gust of wind.

"Are we leaving?" Little Shrubby who had just appeared asked.

"Yes!" Lin Mu said before getting on his back.

He strapped in the harness and little Shrubby started running.

~Whoosh~

Little Shrubby’s spirit knocked away some trees as he launched into the air. But just a few seconds later a strange sound was heard.

~Honglong~

Lin Mu then saw a large formation array appearing in the sky. The formation array extended all over the forest and even beyond that. In the distance, Lin Mu could even see a pale barrier that had just materialized.

"Dammit! They activated the formation array of the sect!" Lin Mu cursed.

"It should still be fine. They probably did this to stop the Nascent Soul realm beasts to stop from escaping. They should not know about you being here, this is just a safety precaution." Xukong judged.

Lin Mu’s quickly thought over it and found it to be likely. He had not let out any signs of him being here and even the cave that he lived in briefly was cleaned out by him every day. He was doing his best to not leave traces.

Even in the sect he had not spoken to anyone and had kept to himself. And this was when he actually appeared on the ground and not underground.

"That’s where the phenomenon started, go there!" An elderly voice was heard echoing from afar.

Hearing this Lin Mu confirmed that the sect’s experts were here for the two beasts instead of him. But this did not mean that he was out of danger. While he could indeed escape the barrier, it was very likely that they would discover him. And if he decided to hide here for the time being he would be found by the Dao Shell realm expert.

He could use Phase and sink into the ground far enough that he would be away from the senses of the Dao Shell realm cultivator but there was still the Tribulation Lightning jumping around in his Dantian.

The moment that lightning hit his core, Lin Mu would start breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm and that was something that was bound to bring attention to him. And if at that moment he was underground, he doubted he would be able to maintain focus on using Phase and would accidentally lose control of it.

That was certainly not something Lin Mu wanted to happen.

Lin Mu looked around while thinking of something when a crazy idea suddenly appeared in his mind. His head snapped to the back and he used his spatial perception to the full extent that he could.

"Come on... I know you are there..." Lin Mu muttered.

For a few seconds, Lin Mu saw nothing but mist and felt the approaching waves of the Dao Shell realm cultivator. But then he saw it... he saw the illusory mountain.

’Let’s hope this works or we’re doomed...’ Lin Mu thought before looking down at little Shrubby who was starting to get nervous as well.

"Little Shrubby turn around, we’re going back." Lin Mu ordered.

Little Shrubby looked a bit confused but then started running as he was directed to without questioning.
