Chapter 981 - King Hongs Fortunate Encounter And A Fossil (1/2)

King Hong could understand Lin Mu's confusion, as many others were the same. Even he himself had not thought that he would reach the Dao Shell realm this quickly. He had barely been in the nascent soul realm for three years before reaching the Dao Shell realm..

This was a record that would easily stand for a long time in the empire. While it didn't come as close to Lin Mu's own record, it was still very impressive. Now, in addition to Little Shrubby and Jing Luo, there was another close ally of Lin Mu that was at the Dao Shell realm.

This increased their offensive power by quite a bit.

”Well, I had a little help and got to reap some fortune back in the Kong Plane as well. You should see the new records we've made. There is a lot more to the Kong Plane we've yet to see.” King Hong spoke.

Hearing this, Lin Mu got an idea. Even back when Little Shrubby had gotten the Blood Spring carp, he knew that there were some really good locations in the Kong Plane where treasures were just waiting to be found.

And King Hong's words made sense considering the fact that with his bloodline and talent, it wouldn't be hard for him to speed ahead and reach the Dao Shell realm.

From the spirit Qi fluctuations, Lin Mu had sensed from King Hong. He could tell that he was at the Shell initiation stage of the Dao Shell realm. Though he didn't know how far he was from reaching the Shell genesis stage, as that would need input from King Hong himself.

Or at the very least, Lin Mu would have to take a look at the Dao Shell. If King Hong was going with the default Spherical Dao Shell, it wouldn't take that long to reach the Shell genesis stage.

Lin Mu went on to talk with King Hong more in detail about what he found and how he actually reached the Dao Shell realm.

The main reason behind his breakthrough was actually the remains of a dead beast. After continually cultivating, King Hong's senses were getting better and better and along with that his perception for the fire element also increased.

His talent already increased that, along with his Dauntless Ember Physique, but he was now getting control over it. And due to this, he felt something far away from him. His physique was resonating with it and made him desire to go find it out.

He didn't go there at first as he needed to deal with the matters of the Hong Lin Kingdom too. But later on, the urge only increased more and more, such that he reckoned he wouldn't be able to hold back.

Thus, he requested help of Jing Luo and made it so that he would have some time to explore. Jing Luo even gave him the improved spirit boat that helped King Hong travel way faster than he could with his own cultivation base.

He ended up traveling for about a week into the depths of the Kong Plane before finally finding what was calling out to him. The thing was buried deep within the ground and was encased in rocks.

When he finally unearthed it and broke apart the rocks, he discovered what it was, fossilized bones.
