1613: Going To The Dao Wind Empire

Going To The Dao Wind Empire

Lin Mu stood in the Teleportation Array with several others.0

He counted the number of people and found them to be over a hundred.

'They've certainly increased the number of people for this. The array is probably at its limit too.' Lin Mu thought to himself as he looked around.

He had spent most of his earlier time on shopping and had directly come to the Teleportation Array when it was an hour before its activation. This allowed Lin Mu to see all the people who were going to head to the Dao Wind Empire.

From their conversations, he could hear that all of them were going for the same reason: The Tournament of the Four Guardian Beasts.

"Everyone get ready! The array will activate in five more minutes!" The supervisor of the array announced.

"It's finally time." Lin Mu muttered.

Soon, the array was activated and Lin Mu felt his body turn weightless.

~SHUA~

He was thrown into the Teleportation channel and started to travel at a great speed. The flicking lights went by as the familiar feeling of void made itself known.

Lin Mu looked around curiously as he felt the voice pass by. It was around this time that he felt something within his Dantian.

"Huh?" Lin Mu felt his second Dao embryo, The Four Faceted Nebula resonating with something.

Lin Mu had been unable to learn much about his Dao Embryo after having formed it. Its secrets and skills were still hidden, and despite using his Spiral Flake Crystal to deepen his proficiency with Space, it was not enough.

Xukong had already warned Lin Mu that since it was a new Dao Embryo, there was no telling how much time it would take for him to understand it. But now it was finally reacting, but to what, Lin Mu didn't know yet.

'What's happening?' Lin Mu focused on his Dantian and saw the formless Dao Shell and Dao Embryo moving around.

They expanded and Lin Mu could see the nebula with its many stars shimmering within it. The stars seemed to be randomly moving at first, but the more Lin Mu watched, the more he felt like they had a certain pattern to them.

After thinking for a bit, Lin Mu guessed that the Four Faceted Nebula might be reacting to his current location.

'Is it like this due to the Void?' Lin Mu wondered.

He closely observed the Dao Embryo and the fine changes that were happening within it until finally he reached the end of the Teleportation Channel.

~SHUA~

The scene around Lin Mu changed once more, and he felt the solid ground underneath him. The changes happening to the Dao Embryo also stopped and it went back to its dormant state.

"That was a shame… it ended already." Lin Mu said, seeing that the Dao Embryo was no longer active. 'I'll have to look into this further…' it was the first time the Dao Embryo had acted like this, thus there was no way Lin Mu was going to let go of the chance to learn more.

"All the travelers shall register their identities here!" A person wearing the robes of the Dao Wind Empire announced. 

Lin Mu looked around and saw an entirely different kind of building. Its architectural style was more simple, but still looked elegant with a mixture of dark and light wood being used to build the Array building.

But that was not all, as Lin Mu could also sense hundreds of formations inscribed everywhere, along with many more that were hidden underneath them.

'Dao Wind Empire is no step behind the Holy Topaz Dynasty, if we compare the arrays.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He followed the rest of the people and did the registration. The process was mostly the same as what he had gone through in the Holy Topaz Empire, but this time, they also asked if someone was participating in the tournament.

Those that said they did were asked to give some additional details. The details were directly added to a special jade slip, which sent them over to the Temple of the Four Guardian beasts.

When it was Lin Mu's turn, he did the same and was handed a four colored token with a number on it.

"Here you go. This is your registration token for the Tournament." The clerk said.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Lin Mu was surprised. "My registration is already finished like this?" he had thought that he'd need to go to a specific place to do this.

"Of course. With the number of applicants, we have to be efficient. The temple has asked us to finish the registration of all those that arrive right away, so as to prevent any delays." The clerk answered with practice, as if he had said the same thing many times.

"I see… that's rather convenient." Lin Mu couldn't really complain about it.

If anything, it had only saved him time and he could now freely look for the person who had the Tyrant Bull Marrow. He glanced at the token in his hand and looked closely at the rather large number.

  The number was 3,129,467. 

"That's a lot of participants." Lin Mu muttered.

He didn't know if the same numbers were updated everywhere, but it seemed highly unlikely over three million people had passed through the teleportation array during this time.

"It should be a collective number. The Temple of the guardian beasts has one of the most advanced formations in the world. It is simple for them to do something like this." Xukong spoke up.

"I see… this is rather good too." Lin Mu could tell that the token had a formation within it too that contained all his details.

With this done, Lin Mu finally left the building and finally arrived outside. 

And once he did, a vast city greeted him.

He was currently three hundred meters high up in a large tower!

"Whoa!" Lin Mu couldn't help but marvel at the city.

It was easily the largest city he had seen so far.
