Chapter 1262: Experts Of The Rust Sky World

Lin Mu asked Huyun Chuan more about his clan as well as the Noble clan from the Great Wave kingdom that he had offended. He couldnʼt help but feel that there was a lot more to this and Huyun Chuan had simply been kept in the dark.

He learned that the female noble of the Great Wave kingdom that had died actually came from a branch of their ruling royal family. Not just that, she was apparently in charge of several export deals and had a decent status.

Hearing these two things made Lin Mu quite sure that there was some foul play at work.

ʼDid someone from the two kingdoms want that female noble dead?ʼ Lin Mu wondered.

The most obvious culprit behind it seemed to be none other than the royal family of the Purple Sparrow kingdom itself.

By simply sacrificing some lower member of a noble clan, they would be able to get rid of a decently strong competitor and also placate the other kingdom. And with their status, they might only need to pay the Huyun Clan some extra compensation to make them agree.

Even Huyun Chuanʼs status as a lord of the county seemed suspicious.

ʼThereʼs no way seven heirs before him would simply reject the position. Even if itʼs the smallest county, it is still quite useful for lower ranked heirs who would not inherit any direct position in the clan.

Plus, Huyun Chuan isnʼt even that talented compared to his other siblings and cousins.ʼ Lin Mu analyzed.

Huyun Chuan had also explained the power structures of the Rust Sky world.

At the top were the Seventh Tribulation Immortal Realm experts. At that point, they would only face tribulations at an interval of two to five thousand years. The time interval of these tribulations greatly depended on the cultivatorʼs talent.

Some talented ones might face these tribulations at a maximum of five thousand years and the less talented ones will get it at two thousand years. The difficulty of these tribulations was also not fixed and could vary quite a bit.

But the experts who had exceeded the Seven Tribulations were very rare in the Rust Sky world. Just those on the Seventh Tribulation stage were countable on two hands and were the rulers of the kingdoms and empires.

While those on the Sixth stage were kings of smaller kingdoms as well as their reserve elders.

It was currently known that only three experts above the Seventh Tribulation stage existed. But Lin Mu was sure there might be more.

ʼBut there is also the next realm above that… can they not breakthrough?ʼ Lin Mu recalled Xukong mentioning this.

While Lin Mu didnʼt know the name of the realm, he did know it existed. Once a person reached that realm, they wouldnʼt have to face tribulations and would really be able to live on as long as the worlds existed.

There might be restrictions on it, but they were unknown to Lin Mu.

ʼPerhaps reaching that realm needs something extra. Maybe one needs to leave the Rust Sky world to achieve that. That might also be why there are only three such ‘transcendentʼ experts in the world.ʼ Lin Mu guessed.

But these were the peak people of the world and were the minority among the minority. The true base of this world was the experts that were in the First and second tribulation stage of the Immortal realm.

Anyone that reached the immortal realm in less than five hundred years was considered a genius. But this was without any resources. With resources like the Huyun Clan had, one should be able to reach it in 200-300 years.

All this was quite mind-boggling to Lin Mu since in 500 years it was already a miracle for one to reach the Infant Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm.

”At what realm do the people of this world start?” Lin Mu questioned.

He already knew from the Lost Immortalʼs memoirs that depending on the level of the world, the newborn infants there might be born at different cultivation bases. This was even more drastic for the Rust Sky world that was close to world ascension.

”Most of the infants are born in the Core condensation realm. Even the commoner mortals all birth Core condensation realm offspring. The same applies to beasts and other races. After being born, the children are restrained from cultivating until they grow to a certain age.

Since reaching the Nascent soul realm would fix their appearance. Doing this at a young age would give trouble to most people. But this doesnʼt apply to the children of nobles or those with decent wealth.

They can simply consume some Body Maturation pills and directly grow themselves. The children of the nobles continue cultivating and reach the Dao Treading realm by the age of 100.

Even if they still look like 10-13 year old children it doesnʼt matter since they donʼt need to do any other duties till then. The true test of talent begins from the Dao Treading realms as they would all comprehend on different pace.

Those that breakthrough the earliest are considered extra talented and are finally given the Body Maturation pills.” Huyun Chuan explained.

”Hmm… but donʼt Immortal worlds like the Rust Sky world not have the need for Immortal Ascension realm?” Lin Mu asked.

”Yes… that is true for those that comprehend their own Dao Traces and form a Dao Embryo with no assistance. But for those that were helped by a Dao treasure or Dao Essence crystals, they will still end up in the Immortal Ascension realm.” Huyun Chuan replied.

”Then how do they reach the Immortal realm?” Lin Mu questioned with some confusion.

”Well… there are two ways. First is that the person would automatically breakthrough after some time. But if they donʼt they can take an Ascension spirit pill to do that. But the use of the pill makes oneʼs foundation weaker.

Only those that have no talent use those. They might get stuck as false immortals too and die to the first tribulation that they face.” Huyun Chuan said with some embarrasment.
