Walker Of The Worlds

Xukong knew that Lin Mu wanted to learn how to better use spatial perception and he had just the method for him or rather method was always with Lin Mu and he had even used it a few times before.

"Senior, how would I go about enhancing my spatial perception?" Lin Mu question Xukong at the very right moment.

"It would not be much difficult for you as you already know what it feels like. You even have an advantage in this over any average cultivator, as you can simply use your ring. You can already see those black dots which are the flaws in the fabric of space right, that is also you using spatial perception. Except in that case, it is only seeing the things that are causing the most disturbance and cannot see the more milder spatial fluctuations.

What you need to learn is to how to simply expand that scope of sensation. While you can focus on the very strong points such as those black dots, if you sensitize yourself, you will sense even more things.

Now the method to train this is simple, you just need to keep on observing the flaws in the spatial fabric. You should also focus on sensing the minute fluctuations in space that happen every so often naturally." Xukong answered.

Lin Mu nodded his head and immediately got to it. He willed the ring to show its effects and he opened his eyes to see the black dots, only to realize that there were none of them in his house right now. He then expanded his spirit sense and tried to sense his surroundings, examining them for any small changes.

Lin Mu did this for an hour, after which he stopped it as he realized that he was not having much of a progress. Though he did not falter there and was merely thinking of making better preparations. While he was doing this, he suddenly remembered something.

When he had used the fourth skill 'fade' before and walked around, he had changed his direction multiple times as he had no reference. He also remembered that he could use his spirit sense rather freely in the parallel void as well.

These two factors amalgamated together in Lin Mu's mind, and a new idea formulated itself.

"Hahaha! Why did I not think of this before?!" Lin Mu suddenly exclaimed.

Xukong was surprised out of his trance as he looked at Lin Mu, who had a slightly disturbing smile on his face.

"What is it? What did you think?" Xukong asked curiously.

"Hahaha! Senior if figured out a way to use the fourth skill 'Fade' even without spatial perception. I still don't know if it will work, but that can be confirmed quickly." Lin Mu replied in an excited tone.

"Really? Show me then, try it out." Xukong said.

Lin Mu nodded and took a deep breath before extending his spirit sense. He kept it in a straight line and made sure that it did not bend anywhere. He then checked the direction he was looking at and oriented the spirit sense there.

Then, Lin Mu triggered the fourth skill 'Fade' and ten drops of liquid spirit qi drops were immediately consumed. Lin Mu's body disappeared from the real world, and he appeared in the parallel void. He looked around and found everything to be the same as before, empty and grey.

"Let's see if it works or not…" Lin Mu muttered to himself.

He then started walking in the direction of the spirit sense as it was still in the same position that it was before. As Lin Mu took step after step, his spirit sense would simultaneously shorten. Eventually, he reached the end of the spirit sense and all of it was retracted into his body.

Just a couple of seconds later the skill's duration ended and Lin Mu reappeared in the real world. Except this time he was not in his room, but rather in the street outside his house. Lin Mu looked around and made sure of where he was.

"YES! It worked! It really worked!" Lin Mu exclaimed in joy.

Xukong too realized what Lin Mu had done by observing his actions. Lin Mu had realized that he would be transported in the same position as he was in the real world. This also meant that his spirit sense would stay in the same position, too.

Using this technicality, what Lin Mu did was mark the location he wanted to go by using his spirit sense and then used the skill 'Fade'. This way when he appeared in the parallel void, he was able to go to his intended location by simply following his own spirit sense.

Right now he had only walked in a straight path, but he knew that he could do this in any direction he wanted as long as he kept his spirit sense in the same position. But the benefit that the parallel void had was that there was nothing there. It didn't matter if there was something blocking it, Lin Mu could simply walk there in a straight path.

"Amazing! Excellent thinking Lin Mu." Xukong praised.

Xukong had not expected that such a method would be possible, but Lin Mu had done it. Although the flaws of this method were also apparent in that the maximum distance Lin Mu would be able to travel is the maximum range of his spirit sense, which was about eighty meters.

Another flaw was that he would have to chart the path with his spirit sense beforehand, this meant that if there was something that blocked his spirit sense or if there was someone in the path who could detect it, that could be problematic.

But still, this was better than nothing, and at least Lin Mu would be able to use the skill up to a certain limit. 

Though there was a very big advantage that Lin Mu had if he was ever in a wide and open area. He could simply activate the skill and run at the maximum speed he could muster and leave the enemies behind. He would have no need to chart a plot.
