Walker Of The Worlds - Chapter 2175: Guidance Of Pyxis

Lin Mu and the others watched the illusory compass that seemed to be exuding a mysterious aura.

‘That Compass… That aura is almost like a Dao Trace.’ Lin Mu thought upon first laying his eyes upon it.

It was very obvious for him which he did not know why. He couldn’t tell what kind of Dao they belonged to, but he could tell he hat felt it before somewhere.

~SHUA~

As they watched, the compass gathered its power before a long beam of light shot out of it.

“Guidance of Pyxis!” Lady Kang chanted, completing the skill.

The light beam flew out of the portal and entered the void. One it was there, it seemingly wandered around in random paths, while the needle on the illusory compass also kept on spinning.

“Bring me to a safe place on the plane below.” Lady Kang whispered.

Her whisper was a command to the compass as it suddenly stopped spinning. The needle twitched a few times before slowly turning to a specific direction.

~WANG~

The needle trembled after pointing at a certain direction before the beam of light was shot out of it again. This time the beam of light had a destination in its mind as it curved around before heading straight down to a certain point.

“It’s done!” Lady Kang said before they closed the gate of the cage. “We just have to follow the lighted path.” She stated.

“Very well.” Lin Mu said as they began their ascent.

“Everybody hold on!” Qiao De said as he controlled the cage to move towards the portal.

~WHOOSH~

The cage was immediately sucked in by the portal and thrown out into the void!

~WOONG~WOONG~WOONG~

The barriers made by the hundreds of talismans that Daoist Chu had stuck on worked to protect it from the pressure exerted by the spatial travel. Passing through a portal was not always safe, especial if it was not a fully stable one. Thus it was important to make sure that the vehicle they were using was durable enough. In the current case it was a cage that was not meant to be a vehicle, but was still under the same conditions.

“It’s working!” Daoist Chu said as he watched his handiwork.

~TREMBLE~

Still that didn’t mean that the danger was over, in fact they were just starting off on their journey.

Qiao De controlled the cage and followed the light beam that charted out their path. He could not see the end of the path, as it was too far away and also obscured behind a thick mass of death aura.

~DENG~DENG~DENG~

The cage was seeming struck by something invisible, making it rattle on the way. “There’s a lot of debris on the way.” Qiao De informed.

“Just pass straight, it’ll be fine.” Lady Kang stated. “This is the safest path that is possible for us. Any other path is guaranteed to be more dangerous.” She assured.

Qiao De gave simple nod and continued on the path while the cage kept on getting pelted by the debris in its way. Thankfully the defenses that had been added by them basically made it harmless.

The wooden vines covering the cage protected against the minor collisions with the debris and worked well enough until they finally reached the area that was covered with death aura.

“We’re in the aura now.” Lin Mu informed, his spatial perception active and scanning everything ahead of them.

Unlike the others, he could fully see what was outside including the large swathes of debris and rubble that was spread in the expanse of the void. At first Lin Mu had thought that it was just rocks and other solid materials of the earth that were spread in the void. These often came from breaking away from the spatial planes or other chunks of land that might be present in it. As such, one could find a lot of Asteroids and such in the void too. But Lin Mu observed that not all of them were chunks of natural rock.

‘Are those bricks and more?’ Lin Mu noticed that there were stone bricks and carved tiles that were certainly man made mixed in the debris.

It wasn’t until a couple minutes later that he spotted a rather large object which turned out to be a massive segment of a stone wall!

“Where did that come from?” This time Qiao De and the others were able to spot it too with how large it was.

The light beam that was guiding them also illuminated the path, thus they could see in the dark of the void.

“That is either from the Spatial Plane below, or something that no longer exists.” Lin Mu stated. “The remnants of the Spatial energy I detect on it show that its been here for a long, long time.” He added.

“Hmmm… There might be more to this place than we can tell right now.” Crown Prince Feng Shun said as he maintained his alertness.

~THUD~

The chunk of wall struck the cage, but the barrier held up.

~HUALA~

But intermediately after the death aura started to assault them!

The cloud of death aura covered the cage, trying to enter it and consume it all.

~HONGLONG~

It was now that the two door gods manifested again and attacked.

~BOOM~BOOM~

The death aura was blown away, letting them pass through without a problem. Elder Hu and Min Ju maintained their focus over the two door gods and ensured that the skill continued to protect the cage.

They continued like this for nearly thirty minutes after which the two door gods started to weaken.

“The skill is about to run out.” Min Ju informed while Elder Hu frowned. “We can’t cast it again.” Elder Hu added.

“It will be fine, we still have more defenses up.” Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. “We’ll endure through it.” He had assessed the amount of damage they had taken so far and what they would have to go through.
