Chapter 1608 Potential To Grow A Technique

Hearing the information from General Niu Juo, Lin Mu was rather surprised.

The increase in his body weight was due to the True Gold Body Forging Arts. And as far as he knew the technique"s origins were unknown and he had found them in the ruins back in the Xiaofan world.

From what he and Xukong had discussed, the technique was quite likely to be the primitive form of a higher leveled technique. Its effects were also quite good, as it had become the default defense of Lin Mu now.

Even in the immortal realm it was still quite useful, not to mention its weight could be utilized in multiple ways. It was the weight from his body that had allowed him to kill the Eleventh Prince after all by trapping him.

It was frankly a really good technique and if Lin Mu could find the rest of it, he could improve even more.

So even if it was unlikely that what General Niu Juo was talking about was pract.i.tioners of the same technique, Lin Mu might at least be able to find a way to progress it later on.

"Can you tell me more about them?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Sure." General Niu Juo nodded. "A long time ago back when I was not the General of the Huiqing Empire, I had gone out to many worlds. This was to expand my own horizons as well as learn new things.

It was during this time when I visited a small immortal world by the name of Silent Lotus World. On it there were several sects as well as kingdoms. I roamed the world for a couple of years before I came across a monastery.

It was in this monastery that I encountered the pract.i.tioners like you. They had high weight too." He explained.

"A monastery? And not a sect?" Lin Mu furrowed his brows.

"Yes, it was a Buddhist Monastery." General Niu Juo replied. "All their members were body cultivators, thus I felt interested. I went to train with them, but didn"t get to learn much other than some basics. They couldn"t pa.s.s on their techniques to me since I wasn"t suitable for them." He answered.

"I see…" Lin Mu was now greatly interested in finding more about this. "What else can you tell me about them?"

"I don"t have anything more actually. I couldn"t stay at the monastery for long and was driven out. Not long after that, I left the Silent Lotus World as well." General Niu Juo replied. "I just recalled it right now seeing you."

Hearing this, Lin Mu was a bit disappointed, but he at least had a link to go next.

"Thank you for the information." Lin Mu stated.

"You wish to go there too? Hmm… they might just take you in." General Niu Juo said. "The Silent Lotus World isn"t that far from the Rust Sky world, but to go there you need to use several World Teleportation arrays. There"s a chance they might have changed the route, so you will have to look into that yourself." He added.

"Just this is enough." Lin Mu replied. "I thank you for this, once more."

"It was nothing." General Niu Juo shook his head. "If your strength is at this level already, then I look forward to your growth." He said with a smile.

With that, the two bid each other their farewells and flew in the opposite directions.

Only after Lin Mu was a few hundred kilometers did he bring out Little Shrubby again.

~WHOOSH~

The two turned into a blur and flew towards the exit of the Desolate Blood Battlefield.

During the journey though, Lin Mu"s thoughts were on the information he had learned from Niu Juo. It was certainly a lot and then there was also the fact that he actually had the potential to further the True Gold Body Forging arts.

"Since the Silent Lotus World is an immortal world and the monks there still had heavy bodies, it is likely they know of the higher version of it." Lin Mu thought to himself.

He traveled nonstop for several days before he finally reached the exit point of the Battlefield. This time though, he found it to be rather crowded.

"That"s a lot of people… they even set up a camp here." Lin Mu was not expecting this.

When he had arrived here, there was nothing. There was not even a board telling one where to go. And yet now there was a whole camp of the Holy Topaz Dynasty set up, if the banners flying over the camp told anything.

"Looks like this might be what Niu Juo meant earlier. The Holy Topaz Dynasty is actively looking into the "Demon" now." Xukong spoke up at this point.

"Indeed… it does make sense to keep watch over the exit." Lin Mu nodded his head.

While there were people watching on the other side too, setting up a watch camp in the Desolate Blood Battlefield would provide better coverage.

~huu~

"Let"s get this over with." Lin Mu first sent Little Shrubby into the Sleepscape before approaching the area.

He appeared as normal as every and calmly landed in front of the camp. The immortals stationed there watched him carefully as he walked into the camp and towards the exit.

"Halt!" The guards standing at the exit said.

"You need to declare your ident.i.ty before leaving now. Failure to do so will result in an arrest as decreed by the words of the Emperor!" The guard said staunchly.

"I don"t mind." Lin Mu showed no offense to them and cooperated in validating his ident.i.ty.

Seeing that he had the letter from Alchemist Ruoxian helped greatly as there were several people who had come into the Desolate Blood Battlefield for missions a.s.signed by the Grand Sky Pavilion.

"All seems good. You can go ahead then." The guard finally permitted.

Lin Mu gave a simple nod before walking into the array and being teleported away.

Soon, he stood in the Rust Sky World again.
