2119  A Deadline Of Two Months

Six people gazed at the elevated platform in the middle of the dome at this moment.

"What do we do?" Crown Princess Shang asked.

"We don"t have many options… We"ve waited all this time but there has been no sign of others." Monk Hushu replied. "Perhaps it is time we think of alternative solutions." He added.

"I"ve checked the composition of this dome we are in, and it is not something we can destroy." Daoist Chu replied. "You did?" Lin Mu asked with raised brows.

"Yes, I"ve been comparing it with other materials as well as inheritance grounds." Daoist Chu said taking out a book.

"That"s the thing you"ve been reading all this time." Lin Mu remembered.

"Yes… I found this place strange so I"ve been researching." Daoist Chu nodded. "If my research is correct, then even if we do manage to destroy this dome, we"ll end up nowhere. There is nothing beyond this place… Nothing but the void." He revealed.

Hearing this, the people had various reactions with Lady Kang looking at Lin Mu with a knowing look. "The void? That makes things really difficult." Crown Princess Shang furrowed her brows. "We won"t have issues surviving inside, but getting anywhere from there is the major problem." She added.

"We need the Crown Prince here. If he uses the Immortal Court"s guidance beacon, we should at least have a direction we might be able to go to." Daoist Chu stated.

"A guidance beacon?" this was the first time Lin Mu was hearing of this.

"The immortal court grants their members a Guidance Beacon whenever they go out on missions. It helps them find their way back to the closest outpost of the Immortal Court if they get lost in any way. And because of the reach of the Immortal court, it can function inside the void too… at least to a certain limit. Since we are technically still within the range of the Rust Sky world, we definitely will be in the range for it to work." Daoist Chu explained.

"I see… But unless he arrives, we"ll still be stuck." Lin Mu replied. It was at this point that Min Ju looked at Lady Kang with a confident expression.

"If we really have to… I can guide us out too." Lady Kang suddenly said while looking at Lin Mu. "I can use one of my Constellation skills to bring us out, but we will still need to deal with the dangers of the void itself. There"s a high chance if we forcibly break this place, the void will scatter us all." She explained.

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone fluctuated. But Lin Mu remembered the promise he had made with Lady Kang and spoke up.

"What is the constellation skill, if I may ask?" Lin Mu questioned.

"The Sixty Fifth Form: The Mariners Compa.s.s- Pyxis." Lady Kang answered. "Its abilities exceed even that of the Immortal Court"s beacon and can guide us across the entire Immortal realm, even if one is stuck inside the void." She added.

Hearing this, Lin Mu raised his brows, as this skill of Lady Kang seemed to be something she could have used before.

"If she wanted to find the Lost Seal of her clan, won"t she be able to use this for it?" He wondered.

"But there are conditions to it, aren"t there?" Monk Hushu could tell.

"Yes… It has a heavy cost depending on where it guides us and is also limited to only guiding. It won"t be able to actually bring us out of the void." Lady Kang replied before taking a pause. "Inside the void, it"s cost will be high and I probably won"t be able to maintain it for long." She added.

"How long would you be able to maintain it, just in case?" Crown Princess Shang questioned.

"About two minutes." Lady Kang answered, much to everyone"s surprise. "That"s how long I managed to last, when I used it in the void previously." She added.

This finally answered why she hadn"t used it in order to find the clan seal for Lin Mu.

"Considering how long the clan seal was lost, she really won"t be able to find it." Lin Mu thought. "Two minutes certainly won"t be enough for you." He muttered, making everyone look at him.

"But if it"s you, it should be enough for us," Lady Kang said with a slight smile.

"Yes." Lin Mu affirmed, making the others a bit confused.

Those that didn"t know of Lin Mu"s Spatial Skills were bound to be confused after all.

Here, only Lady Kang and Min Ju knew of Lin Mu"s spatial skills and how great they were. Plus, since Lin Mu had already talked to her about this before, she knew that even without her help, Lin Mu would be able to get out.

The only problem was that he won"t be able to bring others along on his own.

But if he combined his abilities with Lady Kang"s, they would be able to accomplish this.

"You"ll be able to really bring us out?" Daoist Chu asked.

"Yes… I have my ways." Lin Mu didn"t fully clarify, but his previous acts had made them have confidence in it.

"Very well. Guess we"ll rely on you." Daoist Chu stated.

"Indeed." Monk Hushu nodded.

"Though we still have one thing to deal with… How long do we wait?" Crown Princess asked. "After all, there is still a chance Crown Prince Feng Shun and others will be able to reach us." She added. "That"s true." Lin Mu said before narrowing his eyes. "I say… we wait another two months. Anymore than that, and we"ll just have to a.s.sume that they are stuck and unable to progress." He stated.

This made the companions of Crown Princes Feng Shun have complex expressions, but they knew there wasn"t much they could do here.

"It"s decided then." Lin Mu said, seeing that they all seemed to be in an agreement.

With this, a heavy wait began as the days started to pa.s.s once more.
