Chapter 1909 Twin Crowns Peak
Chapter 1909 Twin Crowns Peak
Lin Mu's question wasn't bad for the three cultivators, and the elder decided to answer it.
"To the Twin Crown Peak." The Junior Elder replied.
"The Twin Crown Peak?" Lin Mu raised a brow not knowing anything about it.
"It is the seat of power for our Serene Glass Valley." One of the younger cultivators added.
"I see… Guess I'll be seeing a lot of the seniors and elders then." Lin Mu replied while keeping his Immortal sense extended to the max.
As they continued to fly, Lin Mu picked up on the names of the nearby peaks. It wasn't hard for him to sense them from here and there were also name boards placed on them, making them easy to spot.
'Elrose Peaks, Chang'an Clan Peaks, Mungran Peaks…' Lin Mu read their names and matched them with the information he had read.
The Chang'an Clan peaks were owned by the Chang'an Clan and was one of the three major clans of the Serene Glass Valley. 'They are the ones specialized in Immortal Tool refinement.' Lin Mu recalled.
This was the first major clan, Lin Mu had come across so far as all the other peaks seemed to belong to the minor clans or were simply farms or other facilities.
'Guess, only the Major clans have peaks named after them. The others are all named differently.' Lin Mu understood.
And as they continued to fly, his assumption was confirmed.
"Is that the Shuijing Clan peak?" Lin Mu asked.
"Yes, that's where the Shuijing Clan members live." The two younger cultivators answered.
"I see… would it be possible to contact the two Shuijing Clan members who invited me?" Lin Mu asked, just in case.
"They'll be asked to come to the Twin Crown Peak as well." The Junior elder spoke this time.
"Alright." Lin Mu replied and stayed silent for the rest of the trip.
About five minutes later, they finally reached their destination.
The Twin Crown Peak looked like a mountain that had been split at the top. It had a 'M' like shape but in the middle of the two sides, a large palace was erected. The palace was attached to the two sides and was built in a unique way.
Its top was made out of shining glass that reflected the light of runes that shone on the defensive towers that were placed at its perimeters.
'Rather peculiar design…' Lin Mu thought while using his Immortal sense to probe the peak's arrays.
He didn't go deep, just obtaining information from the surface.
'That's… a lot.' Lin Mu raised his brows, finding almost as many formations as the Capital City built just on the peak. 'They sure do take their formation mastery seriously.' He thought, judging that it would take him a month to even analyze all these formations if he started now.
Lin Mu tried to identify some of the formations, and realized that other than the ones on the surface that were commonplace, all the others were unknown to them.
'Are these their signature designs?' Lin Mu wondered. If he had a little more time, he might be able to find the similarities in them, which would confirm that they were all indeed made by the Serene Glass Valley themselves.
"Here we are." The junior Elder landed at the base of the Twin Crown Peak, where several members of the Serene Glass Valley were standing guard.
'They are all at the Second Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm at the very least.' Lin Mu sensed.
There were also several stronger ones mixed among them, but they were higher up on the peak. And at the very top of the palace, Lin Mu could sense the strongest presence.
This made him curious and he closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again. His Spatial Perception was activated, and he looked past all the physical constraints. His gaze directly went to the top where he sensed three particular strong flows of Immortal Qi.
The flow was thick enough that it contrasted against the Spatial Fabric, making it visible in front of Lin Mu's spatial perception.
'Fifth and Sixth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm.' Lin Mu estimated. They were all surrounded by multiple smaller Immortal Qi flows, which Lin Mu reckoned were the elders of the various clans that composed the Serene Glass Valley.
'This is almost like a sect.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Looks like even if the Sects aren't allowed to be formed in the Rust Sky world, they still allow such clan alliances to be made.' He reckoned.
He didn't know what kind of specific restrictions there were upon such alliances either. After all, if a power simply named themselves a clan alliance while acting as a sect, it would be the same as putting up a paper barrier. It wouldn't really change the reality.
'Must be some kind of power restraint perhaps… or maybe recruitment restraint?' Lin Mu pondered on it.
But before he could think much, the Junior Elder spoke.
"Let's go up." He asked Lin Mu to follow.
The two younger cultivators stayed behind and only Lin Mu went further. But just as they were about to pass through the entry gate, the guards there spoke. "Beasts aren't allowed inside." "Oh, that's fine." Lin Mu replied, "Return for now Little Shrubby."
~shua~
The beast turned into a flash of light and disappeared in Lin Mu's body.
The guards and the junior elder looked at Lin Mu with slight surprise but didn't question further.
Lin Mu and the Junior elder began their ascent up the peak and soon arrived at a smaller building that was about a hundred meters from the gate. They entered it and Lin Mu saw a formation array circle inside it.
"Teleportation Circle?" Lin Mu asked.
"Yes, it'll take us to the top directly." The Junior elder replied and took out his identity token. ~SHUA~
The circle activated and the two walked into it. Then in the next moment, they disappeared in a flash of light.
