Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041: Nurturing a Treasure
When Mia Qing, Langya, and Li Lingqing ended their enlightenment and emerged, they were shocked to find Lin Mu’s face was actually pale.
"Master! What happened, your body..."
Li Lingqing just managed to ask before sensing a feeling of sadness within.
The heavens mourn, a tribulation transcender has fallen!
"Master, did you confront a Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor?"
Langya was the first to react, but she found it somewhat unbelievable.
Because, in her heart, Lin Mu was invincible itself, a being who always triumphs.
In the Ancient Land Minor World it was so, on Earth it was so, and in the Heavenly Realm it was also so!
No matter how powerful the enemy, Lin Mu could fight and win.
In her memory, there was no image of Lin Mu being injured.
Now, Lin Mu’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper, it was the first time she saw Lin Mu in such a state.
Li Lingqing felt the same; she had followed Lin Mu longer and understood him better.
She couldn’t imagine what kind of enemy could actually harm Lin Wudi.
Could it be a Third Tribulation or Fourth Tribulation powerhouse?
Compared to the two panicked women, Mia Qing discovered a trace of something.
As a Peak of Integration in the Heavenly Realm, her lifespan was almost longer than Earth’s human history.
Her understanding of Dao Methods, the Dao Arts she encountered, were naturally far beyond those of the two women.
"World Master, are you nurturing a weapon?"
When she said this, the distinguished head of Jinchen Holy Land’s voice was slightly altered.
There is talk of weapon nurturing in the Heavenly Realm, but almost no Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor would nurture a weapon.
Because nurturing a weapon requires consuming Tribulation Thunder Thought!
Only a Magic Artifact nurtured with Tribulation Thunder Thought can slowly advance into a magical treasure.
Nurturing a weapon means permanently weakening one’s strength.
The Tribulation Thunder Thought used to nurture a weapon is equivalent to a Thought Incarnation, and cannot regenerate.
Not even those Tribulation Ancestors nearing the end of their lifespan would nurture a weapon, because weapon nurturing must occur before The Five Decays of Heaven and Man.
Nurturing a weapon with Tribulation Thunder Thought accelerates the arrival of The Five Decays.
Thus, magical treasures in the Heavenly Realm are so rare.
A magical treasure is almost equivalent to the life of a Tribulation Ancestor.
Only top-tier Upper Continents like Northern Jambu Continent, or the Four Great Divine Continents, would be luxurious enough to have Thunder Tribulation Ancestors nurturing weapons.
Mia Qing couldn’t imagine why Lin Mu, who was rising and could transcend the Second Thunder Tribulation within years, would nurture a weapon!
Lin Mu said calmly: "No worries, I have my measure of things!"
Actually, he hadn’t expected the Dragon Tamer Sword to devour so much.
After devouring the Tribulation Thunder Thought, the Dragon Tamer Sword had reached the pinnacle as a magical treasure.
Just how powerful it was had yet to be tested.
Seeing Lin Mu persist, Mia Qing did not dare to continue opposing.
Langya and Li Lingqing, after knowing the truth about weapon nurturing from Mia Qing, were not worried at all.
Their admiration for Lin Mu was almost blind.
In their view, their master’s decisions must be wise and well-reasoned.
If they didn’t understand now, it was because their insights were inadequate.
After leaving the Sermon Hall, Mia Qing sensed the golden blood rain outside and her face changed dramatically.
"A golden shower with radiance, this is the phenomenon of a Second Thunder Tribulation powerhouse falling! World Master, he actually killed one of the Second Tribulation Ancestors of Lv Zhou!"
Among the three Second Thunder Tribulation Ancestors of Lv Zhou, each was a dominant force in their realm.
The Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor from the Barbarian Continent had been subdued for years, never released, which showed the dominance of Lv Zhou’s three Second Tribulation Ancestors.
But now, at least one among the three was slain by Lin Mu!
Lv Zhou was about to see significant change!
Langya and Li Lingqing remained speechless for a long time, regretting missing such a great drama merely due to a session of enlightenment.
Two months later, the group left the Lv Zhou territory and everything was calm and quiet.
After two of Lv Zhou’s Second Tribulation Ancestors died, no one dared to hinder Lin Mu’s group.
Not only in Lv Zhou, but also in the neighboring continents, those Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors stayed concealed, with no one daring to appear before Lin Mu!
With a single tribulation, countering the Second Thunder Tribulation, Lin Mu’s reputation began spreading through nearby continental realms over time.
With no disturbances, Mia Qing and the others began secluded cultivation to digest their recent gains.
Especially Langya and Li Lingqing.
On the Imperial Sky Flying Boat now, resources were plentiful, and Dao Arts and Methods more than adequate, they simply needed to cultivate in seclusion to advance their realms.
Only Mia Qing felt a vague sense of unease.
With Lin Mu openly traveling on the Imperial Sky Flying Boat, the Heavenly Guard would certainly receive the news.
Then, the Heavenly Guard would likely intercept them.
Moreover, the opponent appearing this time would not be of the Second Thunder Tribulation!
Six months later, the Imperial Sky Flying Boat appeared at the edge of an ocean realm.
This is the Bei Kuo Sea, across which they could leave Terrifying Continent and step into Li Mo Continent territory.
Heavenly Guards have their own jurisdictions, once in Li Mo Continent territory they could temporarily escape pursuit by the Terrified Continent Heavenly Guard.
This deeply puzzled Mia Qing.
Logically, the Terrifying Continent’s Heavenly Guard should have gotten news of Lin Mu’s movements, why hadn’t they sent anyone to intercept?
"No enemies, isn’t that a good thing?"
After Mia Qing expressed her doubt to Li Lingqing, she received this reply.
Mia Qing didn’t ask Langya, because she could even predict Langya’s response, that battle enthusiast would surely say it was a pity.
Mia Qing suddenly realized the two companions Lin Mu brought this time seemed not to be the type for strategic planning.
She wondered if Lin Mu did this on purpose, as the two seemed overly "simple-minded".
Mia Qing felt quite anxious but did not dare to bring this up before Lin Mu.
She could only secretly activate the Divine Calculation Celestial Technique, using fifty years of lifespan to divine the result, which turned out to be neutral.
Neither auspicious, nor ominous.
"Perhaps I’ve overthought this?"
Mia Qing put aside her thoughts, following behind Lin Mu as they disembarked from the Imperial Sky Flying Boat.
The Bei Kuo Sea between Terrifying Continent and Li Mo Continent is filled with demonic beasts left from the Heavenly Battlefield.
Traveling alone across Bei Kuo Sea is extremely risky.
Even Second Tribulation Ancestors have no certainty.
Thus, crossing the sea here usually involves dozens of Imperial Sky Flying Boats forming a fleet and crossing together.
Luckily, their fleet currently comprises over thirty Imperial Sky Flying Boats, and when it reaches another seven or eight, they can depart.
Among the thirty-some Imperial Sky Flying Boats now, there are three Second Thunder Tribulation Ancestors, considered a relatively strong combination.
While waiting, the group strolled through the market near Bei Kuo Sea Dock.
Every year, many travelers gather here for sea transit, attracting numerous merchants, making it bustling.
Lin Mu originally wasn’t interested, but upon disembarking felt a vague sense and decided to wander over.
"That crazy woman is here again!"
"Really? Is she selling magical treasures again?"
"Pfft... hahaha, this is hilarious, she truly is a lunatic, selling for thousands of years with no one falling for it, and she still comes!"
"Come, let’s watch the fun, last time she came there was conflict with a fleet, nearly got killed, let’s see the entertainment this time."
"An event every eighteen years, we’ve luckily caught it."
While walking, they heard a commotion ahead.
Mia Qing and Langya were both calm types, paying no attention.
Li Lingqing looked rather eager to watch.
