Walker Of The Worlds - Chapter 2428: The Cores Activate!
The Saintess had been monitoring Lin Mu for several years now and could only confirm that her method was helping him.
As such, it didn’t take long for her to sense the change in the ‘refinement’ array she had made and quickly rushed there to see Lin Mu awaken.
But she would have never imagined that she would be seeing more than she had expected than just his awakening.
Lin Mu was also not expecting such a reaction from his body, as the seven cores started to revolve!
It was their revolution that generated the attraction force and it wasn’t just pulling the air and the bloody lake water below. That was merely a side effect of what the cores were truly trying to do.
~HUALA~
The vortex of clouds that had formed above Lin Mu rushed towards him, making the Saintess a bit alarmed. ‘They aren’t a danger.’ She quickly sensed that the clouds were moving due to Lin Mu’s influence.
She could’ve easily stopped it but she let it happen, guessing that this was related to Lin Mu. After all, this was not the first time she was seeing him wake up and cause a large scale phenomenon.
But what happened next was shocking even to her.
~SHAHA~
The clouds that rushed towards Lin Mu seemingly split apart, turning into two components. Azure and Blue wisps of light now floated in the for a moment before rushing into Lin Mu’s body. The Azure wisp of light entered Lin Mu’s diaphragm while the Blue wisp of light entered his kidneys.
~SPLASH~
The bloody lake below him also released a red mist that spun around Lin Mu before splitting up.
It turned into more components than the clouds, and five colored wisps could now be seen; Red, Blue, Yellow, Brown and Green!
The Red colored wisps entered Lin Mu’s heart; the Blue colored wisps entered his kidneys, the Yellow colored wisps entered his lungs, the Brown colored wisps entered his spleen and finally the Green colored wisps entered his liver!
“Elemental Qis?” There was no way the Saintess wouldn’t recognize what they were. ‘Why are they entering his body?’ she could understand the Fire, Metal and Earth elemental wisps as Lin Mu was known to have affinity for them.
But the Water, Wood and Wind Elements were not something he had an affinity with. In the case of the Wind Element, Lin Mu might have learned the Bending Will fists, but that didn’t mean that he had an affinity to the Wind element.
Normally, a cultivator could absorb Qis of elements they didn’t have an affinity to, but this usually needed a lot of extra effort to do so. And in many cases, they couldn’t absorb them from the atmosphere, and needed to use resources that were rich in them like elemental crystals and pills.
But what Lin Mu was doing was beyond that.
He was taking the materials around them and breaking them down into the base elements before absorbing them!
He broke down the clouds into Wind and Water Qi, while breaking down the blood into the entire Five Mortal elements!
‘Those seven lights on his body…’ The Saintess observed them, finding that they matched each of the element. The only light that had not absorbed anything yet was the purple light that was glowing in the middle of Lin Mu’s eyes.
~RUMBLE~
Though this was merely the prelude as a peal of thunder could be heard coming from the sky.
Lin Mu’s companions who had been watching from the shore couldn’t believe all that was happening and were speechless. “Thunder? But there are no clouds left.” Crown Prince Feng Shun muttered and gazed up. As if to answer him, a cluster of dark clouds seemingly formed out of nowhere and more were being pulled over from the distance. These clouds joined the dark clouds and increased their size as soon arcs of lightning could be seen jumping across them.
~RUMBLE~
The thunder got louder and louder, and the arcs of lightning got richer until finally, they couldn’t restrain themselves.
~BOOM~
A bolt of lightning shot down from the clouds, going straight for Lin Mu’s head!
“Tribulation Lightning!?” Ziran and the others were shocked.
“No… that’s not tribulation lightning.” Crown Prince Feng Shun with his lightning affinity, could easily sense it. “That’s just normal—.” Just as he said that though, he saw a stunning scene that left him hanging.
The lightning seemingly stopped just an inch above Lin Mu’s head before suddenly breaking apart!
~BZZT~
The lightning bolt that was at least a couple kilometer long shattered and turned into tiny purple wisps of light!
It was as if an icicle had been turned into Ice shards upon falling!
“The lightning stopped in its tracks!?” Daoist Chu couldn’t believe his eyes.
He had seen many people block lightning, but they had never seen it stop like this.
“That’s Lightning elemental Qi.” Monk Hushu could now tell seeing the purple colored wisps.
“That’s correct.” Crown Prince Feng Shun confirmed, finding it rather confusion. ~SHUA~
The purple light wisps started entering Lin Mu’s forehead and within a few seconds, all of them had been sucked into it!
“How’s he absorbing the lightning elemental Qi?” Crown Princess Shang had no idea.
The same question appeared in the minds of others too, but they didn’t have an answer. They could only keep on watching and hope that they would understand it somehow.
~RUMBLE~
~BOOM~
But all they got were more lightning bolts that shot down from the clouds, trying to strike Lin Mu. They all simply turned into Qi that was absorbed into him again and again.
It wasn’t just the lightning either, as the blood below him was also constantly broken down into the five mortal elements along with a few of the clouds that were forcefully turned into wind elemental Qi.
The shocking phenomena lasted about thirty minutes, after which the cores within Lin Mu’s body were seemingly satisfied, allowing him to finally analyze what had all happened.
