Chapter 2266 Two Skills Of The Grand Bagua Mythic Series
After listening to Xukong's explanation, Lin Mu could make out a solution that might just work.
"Death Qi will eventually clear out." Lin Mu understood. "So our moment to act will be when all the Death Qi has been absorbed by the Chimera Seed." He analyzed.
"Indeed. You will have to find it once that happens." Xukong responded. "It is likely that all the 'Harbinger' meteors that landed in this Spatial Plane might just be old 'war' supplies left over from the Chimeric Fiend God's time." He guessed.
"Is that why they were in the Void?" Lin Mu asked.
"Yes, it actually makes complete sense to me now." Xukong said much to Lin Mu's surprise. "The Chimeric Fiend God had Spatial skills too and moving through the void was not an issue. As such it would often use the void as a 'shortcut' to various locations.
Not to mention, hiding his war supplies in the Void made it easy to ambush his foes. He could simply send these through the Void towards a world and let the Chimeric Beasts do their work." He explained.
"That is indeed quite a terrifying method. An effective one nonetheless." Lin Mu could see how the Chimeric Fiend God had managed to accomplish so much.
It might not be a good accomplishment, but it was an accomplishment nonetheless.
After all, there were not many that could fight the Courts to a standstill and cause one of the Greatest Wars in the entire Cultivation World.
"Though it looks like we'll have to delay our collection of credits now. And who knows if there will be many Chimeric Beasts left nearby for us to hunt once the Death Qi clears out." Lin Mu said, feeling a bit disappointed.
"It might not be all bad. The Chimeras that are produced by the Chimera plant should still grant you all credits. And I expect they will give a greater amount than normal due to their strength." Xukong consoled.
"That's true." Lin Mu could see the silver lining. "I suppose we'll just have to wait it out." "That's not a loss for you all. Since you can prepare for the time being." Xukong stated. "After all you have a lot of things to study and learn, don't you?" he reminded.
"The Grand Bagua Mythic Series!" Lin Mu remembered the rare skills they had obtained.
"Indeed. Those will be great help to you." Xukong replied. "Even if you cannot learn them in their entirety, you will still be able to apply their principals to other skills." He added.
"I understand." Lin Mu nodded.
"Though, have you seen what skills are contained in those two fragments?" Xukong inquired.
"I haven't…" Lin Mu furrowed his brows before taking out the two jade slips.
The techniques had been copied into them by Crown Prince Feng Shun and Lin Mu could now take a look.
~SHUA~SHUA~
The two fragments of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series that they had obtained were from the Qian Series and the Dui Series.
"Qian Series: Cloud Dragon Stride and Dui Series: Mud Rot Fist…" Lin Mu read the techniques.
The Qian Series allowed one to comprehend the Sky Dao and as such all the skills contained within it had relation to it. The same could be said for the Cloud Dragon Stride skill which Lin Mu recognized to be a footwork technique.
"Oh? This is a good one." Xukong had also been reading and saw the potential of the technique really fast. "You don't have a footwork technique that you use, so this can fit in that position perfectly." He suggested.
Lin Mu had seen many Footwork techniques and had come across them in his journeys. In the ring's space he had several of them too, but he had never learned one.
This was due to the fact that Lin Mu's spatial skills fulfilled that part of his combat needs.
Footwork techniques were intended to be used in combat, since they could allow one to effectively move, dodge, and outmaneuver the enemies. This was something Lin Mu's spatial skills did in an outstanding manner, as such he had never needed another skill. Even if did wish to learn one, there weren't any that could be worth his time or come close to the Spatial Skills.
But now that Xukong had seine this skill, he was quite confident in it.
"Do you know of this skill?" Lin Mu asked.
"I've never seen it before, but from its description it'll allow you to move much better than before." Xukong replied. "Not to mention, you will be able to hide your spatial skills too." He added.
"That's true." Lin Mu said, going over the Cloud Dragon Stride skill.
The skill allowed one to manifest clouds around their legs and move with their power. Not only did it distract the enemies by blocking their field of view, it could also propel one really fast. Another plus point was that the Qi consumption with Cloud Dragon Stride was actually very efficient.
'If I really manage to master it, the Qi consumption with Cloud Dragon Stride will be less than half of my Spatial Skills.' Lin Mu estimated. 'It will also allow me to get an insight into the Sky Dao.' He saw the second major benefit.
"You also have another advantage in learning the Cloud Dragon Stride." Xukong hinted.
"The Saintess…" Lin Mu realized. "She does have proficiency with the Cloud Dao, Wind Dao and Air Dao… and all these are linked to the Sky Dao." He stated.
"Yes. And I wouldn't be surprised if the Saintess has proficiency with the Sky Dao too." Xukong replied.
"Yeah… we haven't exactly seen all of the Saintess' capabilities." Lin Mu nodded.
"Though the second skill isn't bad either." Xukong replied, changing the topic. "The Dui Series is excellent at restraining from what I've seen." He stated.
"Hmm… The Mud Rot Fist, its a dual offensive and restraining technique." Lin Mu read the fist technique. "It is rooted in the Marsh Dao so one would need to understand that before this technique can be learned."
