Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 808 - Shocking News Arrives

Lin Mu and Jing Luo were at the Formation Nexus. Jing Luo had just finished the installation of the prototype that would allow communication between the Xiaofan world and the Kong Plane.

”Alright… letʼs try it now.” Lin Mu said.

”Just use the Communication jade slip as normal and if the message goes through, it means it is working.” Jing Luo stated.

Lin Mu nodded his head and used the communication jade slip. He closed his eyes and let his spirit sense interact with the jade slip. About five seconds later, he opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.

”Senior Lin Mu, we can hear you.” A voice said from the jade slip.

”It works… It works!” Jing Luo said, feeling joyous.

”Indeed. You did great, Jing Luo.” Lin Mu replied.

”Haha, this is just the start. I never thought using spatial storage tools could be used like this with just a few modifications.” Jing Luo said.

”Mmmhmm, I reckoned since they already access the minor void, we can probably use them to bridge the gap. After all, they just need to provide the inward route. The exit can be taken care by the main formation in the Kong plane.” Lin Mu replied.

”Yes. But we still need to tweak and improvise it more. This can handle communication, but the transport of humans is still a bit doubtful. Iʼll need to work on it more and ensure that it works on living things too.” Jing Luo said.

”Of course. You can do as much work as you want. We have plenty of spatial storage treasures now anyway. I took them from all those that had them and also got them from the vaults of the Tri cauldron peony sect.

The vaults here also have the materials needed to create them, so you can make use of them as well.” Lin Mu spoke.

Jing Luo nodded his head and felt pleased with the ease of access he had. Being restrained by materials was one of the main reasons for progress being slowed and once that obstacle was removed, things became smooth flowing.

Of course, it was smooth flowing because it was Jing Luo. For most formation masters, weapon forgers, and spirit tool refiners, something like this would be immensely difficult. Jing Luo had the basics from the Jing clan and the improved knowledge that Lin Mu gave him, thus those obstacles were removed for him.

Lin Mu looked at Jing Luo and was reminded of something.

”Will you be breaking through to the Adult Soul stage soon as well?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Yes. I should be able to in a week or so. I want to be done with this first though, then Iʼll be free to do it. Though if we need to rush, I can break through first as well. The spirit Qi here is very useful.” Jing Luo answered.

”Hmm… I think you should break through first, then. After that, you can focus on work and let the spirit Qi passively increase your cultivation. We need to be ready for anything and personal strength will be important.” Lin Mu suggested.

”Thatʼs true. I guess Iʼll do that first then. At least now, with the communicator established, we wonʼt have to make continuous trips to the palace.” Jing Luo said with a nod.

”Hmm… this communicator, what is its range right now?” Lin Mu asked while observing the five feet tall construct.

It was made out of several different metals and had a bracelet embedded in its center. This bracelet was originally a low grade spatial storage tool, but now was being used as a link between the Kong plane and the Xiaofan world.

Another such construct was placed in the grand palace of the Hong Lin kingdom and interacted with the communicator here.

In addition to the spatial storage tools, jade slips were also attached to them so that they could allow the transmission of messages. In simple words, this acted as a relay tower for them.

”I attached a mid grade communication jade slip to the communicator that is in the palace, while the one here has a high grade one. It should be sufficient to cover at least ten thousand kilometers, but some fluctuations can occur.

Optimally, we should have several such communicators placed at equal distances. That would allow for faster and more accurate transmission. Plus, if we add the teleportation formations to them, we can also use them to teleport within the Kong plane as well.

As you said, this plane is almost one third the size of the great Zhou Continent, thus covering such a large area is difficult. Plus, with the myriad of resources and areas that are useful here, it would be a waste if we do not take advantage of it.” Jing Luo answered.

Hearing Jing Luoʼs idea about relay communicators and teleportation points, Lin Mu was amazed and pleased at the same time.

”Yes, that will be really good if you can set them up. Though we will need additional manpower to take care of that.” Lin Mu spoke.

”We can make use of the cultivators that helped in the set up of the formations around the Hong Lin kingdom. Iʼve found some of them to have a good potential with formations. While they arenʼt geniuses, they will be able to do the tasks sufficiently.” Jing Luo stated.

”If you find them useful, then you can employ them. Iʼm sure adviser Liu will be fine with it.” Lin Mu stated.

Jing Luo nodded his head in response and decided to do it later.

The two of them talked for a few minutes more when they suddenly got a message.

”What is it?” Jing Luo questioned Lin Mu, seeing the change in his expression.

”Itʼs Wu Xun…” Lin Mu muttered.

”What happened? Did Wu Xun do something? Has Gu Yao started to act?” Jing Luo asked, assuming the worst.

”No… itʼs not that. Wu Xun… heʼs dead.. He died over a month ago…” Lin Mu answered, shocking Jing Luo.
