Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 735 - Critical Action!

Hearing senior Xukongʼs words, Lin Mu became concerned. He knew just how dangerous it would be for someone if their meridians got clogged up at a time like this. Withstanding heavenly tribulation lighting was no easy task and most that went against would end up dying.

Having oneʼs meridians blocked basically made it so that they would be bearing the full brunt of the lightning with just their body. If it were a body cultivator or someone like Lin Mu who practiced both, they wouldnʼt have a problem, but for a pure spirit Qi cultivator, this was no less than a death sentence.

”Dammit!” Lin Mu cursed out loud.

Adviser Liu and the other two also heard this and knew that the situation was bad. They could observe the condition of King Hong as well and saw that he was not in the best state for this.

”What do we do, senior brother?” Hua Wu questioned Hua San.

Hua San pursed his lips, unable to come up with anything.. He didnʼt know just what could be done here without harming himself or the others. If they interfered without precautions, they may very well end up dying themselves.

Not to mention, they might trigger a punishment tribulation instead and cause even more problems for King Hong.

”I… donʼt know… only someone as knowledgeable as master or strong enough can do anything.” Hua San answered.

”Itʼs the curse! This is the curse that stops them from defending properly!” Adviser Liu recognized.

”I know! This is called as the Aqua Wisp Tribulation lightning and is a variant tribulation.” Lin Mu informed them.

Thankfully, after the third bolt, the next bolt needed to gather again. The power within the tribulation clouds was seething and increased steadily. It was evident that King Hong would be having more than just three tribulation lightning bolts.

Usually even one was enough to crack oneʼs core and hatch the nascent soul. Lin Mu needed three as well, but King Hong was in a different situation. Not only did his core affect the state of the tribulation lightning, but his dormant physique did as well.

”What in the name of heavens…” Adviser Liu muttered in shock after hearing the truth behind the tribulation.

He watched his nephew with a concerned look on his face. He wanted to help him survive the tribulation but knew that if he interfered now, the tribulation may only get stronger.

He then looked towards the only person who could potentially help in this time.

”Senior Lin Mu, you know what this tribulation is. You must have a solution too! Please! Please save my nephew!” Adviser Liu pleaded.

Lin Mu furrowed his brows. He truly wanted to help, but he was at a loss as well.

”Senior, do you have any solution to this?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Unless the water elemental spirit Qi can be purged from the manʼs meridians, it would be impossible for him to overcome this. Even if the tribulation lightning is blocked, he still needs to depend on himself to overcome this.

At most, you can buy him time and hope that he survives.” Xukong answered.

Hearing this, Lin Mu knew he didnʼt really have many options. His mind ran at the speed of lightning as he went through numerous thoughts.

”WAIT! An obstruction in his meridians should be similar to the obstructions caused by pill toxins, right?” Lin Mu questioned as an idea came to his mind.

”Hmm… in this case, yes. They should function similarly.” Xukong replied.

”I GOT IT! The toxin cleansing pill! A high grade one should do the trick and if not one, I can add ten more!” Lin Mu said.

Xukong narrowed his eyes and thought over it for a second.

”That may… actually work! But he will have to be undisturbed during this time so that the pills show their effect. He will also need to actively get his own spirit Qi, to push it out. So unless that is done, this option will not work either.” Xukong replied.

”That can be done…” Lin Mu said as a dangerous glint shone in his eyes.

”Wait, what are you doing to do?” Xukong asked, feeling concerned.

”Iʼm going to block the lightning for him… Iʼve taken it before and I sure as hell can do it again!” Lin Mu said.

”WAIT!—” But before Xukong could say anything, Lin Mu flew straight towards King Hong.

~sigh~

Seeing this, Xukong sighed to himself and shook his head.

”Youth… they will do as they see fit in the end… I suppose this will be a learning experience for him.” Xukong muttered to himself.

ʼBesides, you wonʼt let it go too far, would you… Xiaofan world?ʼ Xukong said in his mind.

~shua~

Lin Mu moved like the wind and appeared right next to King Hong. Seeing this, Adviser Liu, Hua San, and Hua Wu were stunned.

”He… heʼs actually doing it…” Hua Wu muttered in disbelief.

”I canʼt even…” Adviser Liu was also shocked by the risk Lin Mu was taking.

Even if someone was a Nascent soul realm cultivator, interfering in a heavenly tribulation was not something that came without a price. Perhaps if this was a normal tribulation, the four of them could have combined their strengths to reduce the impact of the tribulation lightning, but that was not an option with a variant tribulation.

Besides, that was something done only for tribulations that had less than three bolts. In the case of King Hong, it had already reached four bolts and it didnʼt seem like the fourth bolt would be the last one either.

King Hong was listening to everything as well and felt touched when Lin Mu decided to risk his life to come to save him.

Lin Mu quickly took out the Toxin cleansing pills and shouted, ”open your mouth, King Hong!”

King Hong did as he was asked and a pill was dropped into his mouth. He had not eaten this kind of a pill before and didnʼt know of its effects. But since Lin Mu was the one who had given him this, he was fine with it.
