Chapter 195: Pseudo Immortal Tool (1/2)

Lin Mu sensed the spirit qi and found it to be quite stable. In fact, it was moving in a strangely harmonic way. It would flow from different channels and then return to the beginning. Lin Mu had seen something like this before, and it was in something that he owned.

It was his short sword, which was a spirit weapon. This surprised Lin Mu as he had never expected this.

”Senior… this entire place…” Lin Mu muttered.

”Yes, this is not just a minor plane but rather an entire spirit tool. That too a spirit tool that is bordering on the level of an immortal tool and is at a grade called as pseudo immortal tool.” Xukong revealed.

This was the first time Lin Mu had seen something that was this powerful. The closest item he had to this was his own spirit sword, but the difference was great between those two. Lin Mu had heard about pseudo immortal tools from senior Xukong before and knew that they were one peak grade spirit tools that were half a step in turning into an immortal tool.

Though Lin Mu still did not know what was it that they lacked in order to become an immortal tool, and this was what made him curious.

”Senior, what is it that makes a spirit tool pseudo immortal and what is thee that will turn it into an immortal tool?” Lin Mu questioned.

”In order for a spirit tool to evolve into an immortal tool, what it needs is… sentience,” Xukong answered.

”Sentience? But isn't a spirit tool or spirit weapon already sentient? Like that time when my short sword responded to me and formed the link.” Lin Mu asked, feeling slightly confused.

”No, while your sword did react to you, that was but a basic instinct. The sentience I'm talking about is different. At that level, the spirit tool will become conscious of itself and will be able to think for itself.” Xukong explained.

After hearing Xukong's words, Lin Mu was amazed and wondered if he would ever get to see something like that. His mind then went back to the place they were in, as they had reached a hall while he was thinking about the courtyard.

Jing Wei reached in front of two large doors that were about five meters tall along with Duan Ke and Lin Mu. The doors automatically opened as he approached them, allowing the three of them to walk in without any hindrance. Lin Mu was fascinated by it and continued following them silently.

After entering the hall, he could see the decorations in it. They were the same as the rest of the mansion except for the large throne like chair that was placed at the head of the hall. The chair was as if made from marble and had delicate carvings on it.

At the front of the throne like chair, there was a large table that was empty. On the sides of the table, one could see four more chairs. These chairs were smaller than the throne like chair and were at a lower level than it.

The hall was almost fifty meters long, Lin Mu guessed. But now that he had taken a look at it, he for some reason thought that it looked incomplete. It was as if there was something missing in it, but he couldn't place his finger on it.
