Chapter 574: Over 50 Years Of Isolation (1/2)

When Lin Mu had roamed through the Ripple Mist sect he had heard from the many people there that the sacred trials will be held soon. And the most promising of disciples would be participating in it.

Lin Mu learned that the sacred trial would be held in a sacred ground which was nothing but a Minor plane that was located parallel to the location of this place. It was of course located in the lesser void, and accessing it required specific spatial coordinates.

But since it was a sacred ground of the Ripple mist sect, it was forever anchored to this location and would not move. Thus all they needed to enter it, was an access key or token. Once someone had this, the gate would let them in.

This gate could be in various forms, but Lin Mu did not know what it was for the Ripple Mist sect.

But after hearing that they were in the sect's Sacred Grounds, Lin Mu understood his previous illusion better.

'So what I was seeing was nothing but the sacred ground because of my spatial perception. The spatial disturbances caused by the heavenly tribulation should have weakened the barriers surrounding it, thus allowing me to peer into it.' Lin Mu thought.

But this gave rise to another question in Lin Mu's mind.

”Wait, if this is the sacred grounds of the sect, why did you never leave it?” Lin Mu asked. ”Was it so that you could heal and cultivate?” He added.

”No… I've been looking for ways to exit it for a long time now. Actually, I've been looking for an exit since the very first day I ended up here. But could not find it.” Jing Luo answered. ”Even the entrance that should have been used by the disciples of the sect is missing for me.”

”What? How's that possible?” Lin Mu questioned.

”I don't know. I think it may have something to do with the spirit tool I detonated.” Jing Luo said.

”What kind of a spirit tool was it?” Lin Mu asked, feeling curious.

”Well, if you're my Grandfather's disciples you should have known about the inheritance treasure of our clan.” Jing Luo stated.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu instantly understood what he was talking about.

”The Myriad Armament Canopy Abode…” Lin Mu spoke.

”Exactly, you truly are his disciple.” Jing Luo nodded his head.

”Umm… about that…” Lin Mu interrupted him.

”What's the problem?” Jing Luo asked with confusion.

”I think you got one thing wrong… I'm not Jing Wei's disciple.” Lin Mu revealed.

”What! How? You should definitely be his disciple. There is no way you would know so much about him and you would not have his short sword either. Grandfather never let me touch it and said that he will only pass it to his final disciple.” Jing Luo said, feeling shocked.

”Ehmm… I bought the short sword from him… as for the rest, we just helped each other and got to talk. That's why I know this much.” Lin Mu stated.
