Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu and Little Shrubby descended the mountain from the other side and went in the direction of the Volcano. The path down was a bit rougher than the climb but they still managed to reach the point from where they could fly.

"If it were not for those strong winds we would have an easier time." Lin Mu muttered.

"After you go beyond a certain elevation winds like those are common. The higher you go, the stronger the winds will become. This is the same in most of the worlds. That is also why there are limitations to how high one can fly.

Even An Immortal Ascension realm cultivator would not be able to fly above a certain point." Xukong informed.

"Oh? Is that so… but in the memoirs of the Lost immortal I've read about some tools that could be used to travel in the sky and even go beyond it into the space.." Lin Mu spoke.

"Indeed, there are tools like those. But the ones that can allow one to fly that high need to be at the pseudo Immortal grade at the very least. As for the ones that can allow one to leave the planet and enter the space, it needs to be an immortal tool.

Immortal cultivators can do it on their own as well." Xukong explained.

"No wonder it's hard for people to leave this world. If they can't fly out and head to the other worlds." Lin Mu spoke.

"Even if they do leave the planet and head to the vast expanse of the space, there aren't that many places they would be able to go to. Since this world is in the mortal realm there will be just more mortal worlds around it.

Exploring the space is quite dangerous too and one must not enter it without preparations. The space lacks air and even spirit Qi. The sources of spirit Qi in space are quite less, unless one can find some special resources floating around or such.

Besides, not all planets around the world are habitable, in fact over 99% of them will be inhospitable to all kinds of life. So while a strong cultivator might be able to go there, they won't find any native life there.

Though many still go to planets such as those since several precious resources can be found in those places." Xukong explained.

"I understand. Then does it mean that the oceanic world that senior was talking about might be close by to this world?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes, that is quite likely. We have already seen a fragment of it in the Lesser void, it should definitely be close by. In fact, it might be the very next planet next to the Xiaofan world." Xukong answered.

Hearing this, Lin Mu's eyes lit up and he felt the desire to go to the space. He wanted to see everything with his own eyes and witness the truth of the world. More questions appeared in his mind as he thought ahead and he decided to ask senior Xukong more.

"Senior, if we compare traveling… which is more dangerous the void or the space?" Lin Mu questioned.

"The void definitely. It is not something that can be taken easily. Numerous cultivators have died in the void because they were careless. It didn't matter if they were peerless cultivators and owners of great powers, or measly itinerant cultivators, their fate was the same.

If one wants to traverse the void, one needs to be careful and strong. And one must not forget that it is the void that contains the space and not the other way around." Xukong answered.

"I get it now senior." Lin Mu nodded his head.

This was a good learning experience for Lin Mu as his understanding of the universe had increased by a little bit. And while he was conversing with senior Xukong, Lin Mu and Little Shrubby finally got to flying.

The directions in this minor plane were hard to deduce since something such as north, south, west, and east did not exist. There was no sun and neither was there a moon. There were no stars in this place either and thus the only way to find a place was with respect to other places.

Lin Mu and little Shrubby had to keep an eye on everything as if they missed a certain part, there was a chance they might get lost without even knowing it. The forests below them were thick and filled with tall trees that reached over a hundred meters in height.

Lin Mu had seen such tall trees only in the Northern mountains before. There was a bounty of wildlife here including various animals and beasts that could not be seen elsewhere.

Lin Mu was also taking some quick notes while flying. He held a jade slip in one of his hands and quickly recorded the appearance of the beast and whatever extra information he could get on them just from observing them.

With his spirit sense, it was a lightning fast task and could be done simultaneously. Of course, this kind of information might not compare to the carefully studied and recorded information in the many libraries and clan records, but it was still better than nothing.

As for why Lin Mu was doing this… he simply thought it was better to do something than to not.

But the more Lin Mu watched the place, the more confused he got. He realized that the minor plane was far too developed than even the actual Xiaofan world. The average strength of the beasts here was higher than that of the Xiaofan worlds.

He had already come across over twenty Nascent soul realm beasts in this time. And it had only been about four days since he had arrived here. One could imagine from this just how vast the difference was.

Lin Mu was also seeing several herbs which he recorded too, while taking a few samples. By the time he actually reached the volcano, two days had passed.
