Chapter 732: A Funeral And Tribulation (1/2)

Xukong did not know what Lin Mu was going through right now.

'He isn't like this normally… why's he acting like this?' Xukong wondered to himself.

He tried to check Lin Mu's mind but was unable to enter it. He felt like he was blocked and no matter what he tried he could not see anything within it. There wasn't anything within the shared mind space either so he was left with nothing.

~Sigh~

”He's growing and developing… I need to let him figure things out on his own as well…” Xukong shook his head.

Lin Mu sat there for a few more hours and only moved when another message was sent to him.

”Senior Lin Mu, will you be attending the funeral?” King Hong questioned.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and stood up.

”I'm coming…” Lin Mu said before disappearing from the courtyard.

A few minutes later, he appeared at the royal palace. The vibe of the entire city was somber, and the people seemed to be in mourning. Though the ones that knew of the former adviser were very few, the people still joined in.

Most of the generations of citizens that lived in the city currently didn't even know of the former adviser and even less had lived during the time when he was the adviser. The ones that did live during their time were either old cultivators or the officials.

The funeral was carried out in a grand manner, befitting of the man's contribution and status. It lasted about twelve hours at the end of which the former adviser was finally buried in the royal cemetery, along with the other deceased advisers.

His memorial tablet was then placed in the royal shrine, along with the rest of the ancestors. Lin Mu watched the entire procession silently, without speaking a word. He learned a few things during it as well, but kept them in his mind for now.

A day after the funeral of the former adviser, Lin Mu felt another change in the area.

”It's time for the heavenly tribulation,” Lin Mu said as he sensed the spatial fluctuations occurring in the sky.

~shua~

He disappeared from the courtyard and appeared in the sky. He squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, using his spatial perception at the same time. There, he could see the cracks in the fabric of space and the tribulation energy that stirred within it.

Lin Mu estimated the time of the tribulation and knew that it was not long. He quickly contracted Jing Luo and the others about it.

”You can head on to the tribulation attenuation formation. I already have it ready and the control plate is kept in the abode there as well. You should be able to use it.” Jing Luo spoke.

Jing Luo was currently in White River City. It was one of the major cities of the Hong Lin kingdom and was located to the south east border of the kingdom. It was also the only city that was not directly in the forest itself.
