Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2440  Imperial Imperator!

Having understood what their problem was now, Lin Mu at least knew their limitations.

"The Rust Sky World is currently under a Spatial Lock." Lin Mu revealed to everyone.

"A Spatial Lock?" Emperor Feng knew what it was but was a bit doubtful since the characteristics that he knew were different from what they were experiencing.

But once Lin Mu explained the details about the Spatial Lock, everyone understood it.

"No wonder it's only targeted at Arrays. The amount of Qi she would need to lock all spatial skills is not something she would be able to provide, especially considering the fact that she's no Spatial Master." Ziran said after listening to it. "Only a True Spatial Master would be able to set up a Spatial Lock on that level." He had met a few Spatial Masters in the past, thus knew how difficult such an endeavor was.

"It's also not done in the usual manner." Lin Mu added. "My current guess is that there's a tool being used to do it or at the very least an Array." "Hmm… if it was an Array we would have learned about it by now. The scope of the array would have to be rather massive and there would be nodes in all places in the Rust Sky world." Daoist Chu chimed in. "Then it should be a tool." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated.

"But a tool like that would be far too strong, wouldn't it?" Crown Princess Shang asked.

"Indeed… Even a Peak Immortal Tool wouldn't be enough to do something of this scale." Lady Kang agreed.

"It's a Celestial Level Treasure." Lin Mu replied. "One that we already know of." He reminded them.

Hearing that, the time they had spent in the Bridge Plane and the hardships they had gone through flashed in their minds. Everything was still fresh, even though twenty five years had passed since then. Among them, Lady Kang had been through the most, thus she had it the heaviest on her mind.

While she didn't regret helping Lin Mu, she did feel like if they had been a bit more prepared they might have avoided falling into that situation.

She had not seen him turn into Lin Mo, but she did her everything that had happened from Min Ju in detail. It was certainly shocking and terrifying to her, but she understood that it was the cost Lin Mu had to pay in order to get all of them out.

Lin Mu had mentioned to her long ago that if things really did become troublesome, he would be able to get everyone out at a high cost. But it was only after awakening did she understood just how high of a cost it was.

She knew very well what kind of power Lin Mu had used, and that the implications that came with it were severe. So much so that other than those that were present there, and the Saintess, no one knew about what Lin Mu had done.

Even the Emperor wasn't told about this and only knew that Lin Mu had used all his power to activate that portal to get them out.

With Saintess being there, the Emperor didn't even think to question anything and took it all as the reality.

"So that was her goal in going to the Bridge plane…" Crown Prince Feng Shun muttered.

"It might have been one of the goals, since the items from the Offering Hall and the Chimeric Beasts offer a lot of other benefits to her too." Lin Mu replied. "We can think of it as an all purpose tool for her. With the Bridge Plane, she has put a Spatial Lock, has a supply of precious materials, and basically an endless supply of cannon fodder for her when needed.

If she managed to re-establish the Bridge Plane's connection to the Rust Sky World, it would become the perfect weapon for her." He explained.

The situation grew heavy as they all now grasped what kind of ace Yao Changying held in her hands.

"But all is not lost yet, is it?" Ziran spoke up. "The Bridge Plane is not connected to the Rust Sky world."

"Yes, and it hasn't been for a long time now either." Daoist Chu agreed.

"How likely is the possibility that it can be connected, Daoist Lin Mu?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked seriously.

"It's hard to say, but at the very least I won't be able to do something like that." Lin Mu answered.

"So it would have to be someone with a higher skill than you." Emperor Feng understood. "But is that for just Spatial Skills, or Formations?" "Yao Changying had some sort of access to the Bridge Plane's arrays beforehand, so I'm guessing that there was some other component to it. A key of sorts that she obtained. But the full control of the Bridge Plane was not granted to her right away, and she had to obtain it over time," Lin Mu began to explain.

He had already discussed all this long before with Xukong when he was in the Sleepscape. It was one of the major topics they had talked about early on in the start since it was simply so shocking. Xukong was also a bit stumped about how Yao Changying had accomplished all this and could only come up with the fact that she had some sort of key to it all. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

It was unknown where she had managed to obtain it, but Xukong said that the key itself should also be on the level of a Celestial Tool or at the very least a Peak Immortal tool when separate from the Bridge Plane.

As such, the key would have its own spirit and Yao Changying would have to refine it over time to gain better control. The problem was that the Bridge Plane was severed from the Rust Sky world before it became a Celestial tool. Thus the ability to make it function as a proper Bridge again wasn't actually built into it. Xukong also added that the Bridge Plane had certainly experienced a Spatial Drift, and the coordinates needed to connect it to the Rust Sky World would likely not be stable. Even the Shrines they used to enter the Bridge Plane were likely not meant to be used more than once. "So how does Yao Changying enter and leave the Bridge Plane?" Lady Kang asked this time.

"I think she does have access to the Bridge Plane for herself and can extend that authority to a few other individuals. But it's most certainly not stable, otherwise she would've already began using the Chimeric Beasts and unleash devastation upon the Rust Sky world." Lin Mu replied. "Her actions of trying to establish a hold over all the continents is probably her attempt at this." He hypothesized.

"Hmm… so she needs her own domain in all places to establish gates that could allow stable entry." Emperor Feng grasped it easily at this point. "Whatever she's setting up must not only need a lot of resources but also a lot of time to set up." This gave a lot for everyone to think about and they continued to discuss it early into the morning. By the time the sun rose, a lot of new theories had been put forth by everyone and a few decisions had also been made.

Emperor Feng spent no time in waiting and quickly sent out orders for several things to be carried out.

The very first thing was to track the supply and movement of formation array materials that could be used to make Teleportation gates. The second thing he did was to contact the Temple of the Four guardian beasts and inform them of all they had learned so far. Even if the Temple couldn't do much due to a lack of reinforcements, that didn't mean they couldn't contact their superiors and the Immortal Court.

They hoped that someone there might be able to figure out what Yao Changying could be using as a Key since they were sure it had most certainly not come from the Rust Sky world.

The third thing that Emperor Feng did was to grant Lin Mu a special authority.

He had made Lin Mu into an Imperial Imperator!

It was a special title that was only granted in times of war and strife. It came with great authority that was second only to the Emperor himself, exceeding the ministers, elders and on some level even the Crown Princes.

This came as a great shock to everyone in the Imperial Court, as it was a title that had not been seen in several hundred thousand years. This was due to the fact that it was an authority that was powerful, but also dangerous to the integrity of the Empire.

If given to the wrong person, it could very well lead to the fall of an entire empire.

As such this was usually given to those with absolute trust and loyalty.
