Chapter 851 - Getting Answers (2/2)

That was why in all these years we did not use the Teleportation array. We needed to wait for a time when our alliance was strong enough to claim the empire.” Ku Waowen answered.

Hearing this Lin Mu furrowed his brows.

'Something that can make a Dao Treading realm cultivator like him sick? Not poisoned but sick… that's strange.' Lin Mu thought.

”What was Kushao's cultivation base before his death?” Lin Mu asked for clarification.

”He was at the very peak of the Dao Treading realm. Everyone was sure that he would reach the Immortal Ascension realm, as he was not that old either, being just above two thousand years old.

But then his death was a tragedy for us and also alarmed us about the sickness. If it could kill a talented expert like him, then others would probably die way easily.” She replied.

Lin Mu thought for a bit before asking more questions.

”What of these strange beasts? What do you know about them?” He questioned.

”We don't know much about them either, other than the fact that they grow very rapidly. They can reach the Dao Shell realm in less than five hundred years. They don't have Dantians or normal meridians, but just a strange crystal that acts as a vessel.

After they die, their bodies don't last for a long time either. If the crystal is removed, the speed is increased exponentially and the body will decompose in less than a day.” Ku Waowen answered.

Hearing this, Lin Mu furrowed his brows and looked into the ring. In there, he got his confirmation.

'It really is decomposing… this is very fast.' Lin Mu said, seeing the hundreds of corpses that he had in there.

This was strange as in the ring usually things didn't decompose easily. Lin Mu had a lot of other beast corpses in it that were the same as the day he put them in there.

'Seems like their bodies are far too different. Those crystals are the main thing that allows them to exist and provides them power. Plus, if they can grow to the Dao Shell realm in less than five hundred years, it is a terrifying situation.' Lin Mu thought.

”Why did the tomb hide away after appearing for years before the incidence five hundred years ago?” Lin Mu questioned.

”While we don't know the exact answer for that, over the years, we assumed that the beasts were behind it. The tomb does not open up so that one can get the inheritance in it, but rather to let out the beasts.

The tomb basically appears when the number of beasts in it reaches a high enough number..” Ku Waowen answered, clearing Lin Mu's doubt.
