Walker Of The Worlds

The time line seemed to be a bit awkward but they were starting to patch things together.

"This means… our guess of there being another entrance just might be correct." Ziran stated. "An entrance that does not have the same restrictions." He added.

"But why would someone make different requirement for an inheritance ground? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of it being 'fair'?" Crown Princess Shang questioned.

"No… It was something that probably existed before the Inheritance ground was created. It should have been one of the original entrances from when this was used as a Bridge Plane and couldn't be removed.

Its highly likely that there are multiple unstable spatial entrances that area still present with this Bridge Plane and they probably have no restrictions on the number." Lin Mu said after thinking for a bit.

"For places like these, only broad rules can be placed. Such as those of the cultivation base." Ziran agreed.

This was correct as Lin Mu had already been told by the Saintess that she couldn't enter the spatial plane without causing damage to the Rust Sky World itself.

'If it is her, I think she would have found other entrances. And if she still didn't enter, it means the restrictions are indeed broad for the insides. A limitation that only allows those below the Transcendent Immortal Realm to enter.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

"This certainly complicates things…" Crown Prince Feng Shun said, a complex expression on his face. "What are the chances we will encounter others here?" he went for the worst possibility first.

"Well, if we think about our luck so far… I'm inclined to believe it is quite likely to happen." Qiao De stated. "Though the true question is, just what kind of people will we encounter?" he asked.

"The goal of this trial is to survive, and we came here in a group of ten. If we consider us as a single party, then it would mean we are to eliminate the others." Ziran inferred. "And they would be inclined to do the same. The only difference will be that they would not have gone through the previous trials if they came through the alternate entrance." He added.

"So we have an advantage still," Lady Kang could see. "We are also here first and now know more about this place. We could very well set up a stable base here before we encounter others." She added.

"But the latter is only possible if we are indeed the first ones here. With the size of the plane, it is highly possible others could be here already and we simply haven't encountered them." Elder Hu spoke, thinking of the disadvantageous scenario.

"With our combined strengths, there won't be many that can stand against us." Lin Mu said feeling a bit confident. "Plus we still have time to prepare a favorable ground for us. Just like I did in the Tournament before." He explained.

Crown Prince Feng Shun found that idea good.

"That will be good. At least we'll have a place to retreat to in case things go south." He agreed.

"Very well then, we'll survey this place first and set up a temporary base." Lin Mu already had a plan forming in his mind.

He returned the map to Crown Prince Feng Shun who safely stored it away. Lin Mu had greatly increased its value now, and Feng Shun reckoned Emperor Feng will be highly pleased.

'Father is certainly going to replicate this and add it to the war room.' Crown Prince Feng Shun thought to himself.

Of course he also knew that some payment was in order for this. But it was something they would think about later. His father was the Emperor and there was no way he was going to be a miser in matters like this.

Lin Mu had very well upgraded their intelligence by several notches. 'Dao Wind Empire has gained and advantage… Even the asteroids that have erratic movements and could not be actively tracked were added by Daoist Mu Lin. Eunuch Tao will be having a lot of fun with this.' Crown Prince Feng Shun could only imagine the expression the Imperial Spymaster would be having.

While Crown Prince Feng Shun thought all this, Lin Mu explained the plan and divided the work among the group. The work was divided into three parts.

The first was the survey of the area which would be done by Crown Prince Feng Shun, Monk Hushu, Min Ju and Crown Princess Shang.

They would record everything they saw as well as the different kind of Chimeric beasts they saw. In case they felt any danger, they were to return at the first sight.

The second task was to set up a base. This would primarily involve a lot of formation arrays and the work fell on the shoulders of Lin Mu, and Daoist Chu.

The third task was that of immediate defense. For this, Lady Kang, Elder Hu and Ziran would be keeping an eye out. They would protect the base while it was being built and would also be able to assist them in formations if needed.

With the work divided, they got busy. "I'll replicate the same base I made in the Tournament of the Four Guardian beasts with a few more improvements. You remember those right, Daoist Chu?" Lin Mu asked.

"Of course. I'll handle the connective nodes, you handle the core." Daoist Chu stated.

Lin Mu nodded and quickly got to work.

~SHUA~

He directly started using Rune Shaping Brush from the very start, knowing that they could not afford to waste any time. He needed to be fast and efficient, with the arrays being strong from the start.

Lin Mu had witnessed just how strong the Chimeric beasts could get and it would be in their favor that they had strong defenses ready.

'A Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm Chimeric beast will be manageable for us if we all fight together. But if more than one appears, we'll definitely need some defenses to give us leeway.' He thought.
