Chapter 185: Another Letter (1/2)
Ever since getting better control over the ring, Lin Mu had not used it to open anymore spatial rift and neither had he encountered any more teleportation channels either. He knew that while he could open a spatial rift anywhere he wanted, that would be useless, as it was likely that he had already taken all the items he could that were lost in the lesser void of this region.
He was now excited to see what he could find this time and was looking forward to it. Lin Mu ran along with the black dot and extended his right hand towards it. As soon as he got close enough, he willed it and the black dot stopped moving.
Soon the black dot started expanding and reached the diameter of a meter.
”Let's see what I can find this time.” Lin Mu muttered before plunging his hand into it.
The familiar feeling of flowing water appeared on his hand as he roamed it around to catch whatever that was coming through the teleportation channel. Senior Xukong had explained to Lin Mu about the workings of a teleportation channel thus he knew what to expect this time.
Whenever an item is to be transported through a teleportation channel, the formation is activated. What the formation does is that it makes a safe and stable path in the lesser void through which the item can be transported through.
The change that happens is such that the spatial energy starts moving in a particular direction, talking the path of least resistance. Thus it is often hard to estimate how or where a teleportation channel may appear if one does not have a good understanding of spatial energy.
The spatial channels are often so random that even if you are transporting an item just one meter from its original position, it is likely that the teleportation channel it passed through was long and winding and could have extended for hundreds if not thousands of kilometers.
Still, even if this does seem like it is counterproductive and would take more time instead. It was not as such, because the speed of transportation is rather instantaneous over short distances in a single world. Only when something is being teleported over different worlds and passes through multiple layers of the void does it take longer.
Senior Xukong even told Lin Mu that teleportation between different realms could take years, if not tens of years to complete. The distance between each could not be imagined.
Lin Mu thought of trying something different this time. He extended his spirit sense and let it enter the spatial rift. As soon as his spirit sense entered the spatial rift, he felt a strong tug on it. The short tendril of spirit sense was quickly pulled to its maximum length and was flown along with the spatial energy.
”Ow!” Lin My groaned in pain as he tried to control the spirit sense.
It was hard for him to control his spirit sense under the flow of the spatial energy and decided to just reel it back in.
”You won't be able to navigate a teleportation channel with your current spirit sense. It is too strong for you. You will have to either reach the core condensation realm to strengthen it further or… You will need to gain an understanding of spatial Dao.” Xukong spoke upon seeing Lin Mu's failed attempt.
