Walker Of The Worlds-Chapter 1353: The Saintess' Duty

The Prince and his companions passed through the registration checkpoint without stopping and continued onwards. The rest of the travelers though didn't have the same benefit.

They needed to spend some time registering their identity. Without that, they wouldn't be allowed to leave. Such was that law that everyone needed to follow… at least in the normal case.

Some people looked at the prince with a little envy, but didn't mind. Being the prince of the very Empire they had arrived in meant that he could easily have these benefits. Plus with his identity, what's the use of registering it?

Everyone would know it as long as they saw his face.

But while some people watched the prince and his comparison with envy, there was one person that gazed at them with interest.

It was a beautiful veiled woman who could make anyone swoon over her, whether it be a man or woman even without seeing her face. But the most surprising thing was that no one could see her.

Even if she was standing in the middle of the crowd, she should have been eye-catching with her green robes and red hair. The veil did little to hide her innate beauty that simply couldn't be hidden.

"Hmm… They've just arrived, so it's unlikely for them to have any link to the Yin-Yang Twin serpents…" the woman muttered.

She then looked at the rest of the people, an invisible energy spreading from her. The energy covered the entire platform then went past it, even overcoming the barrier that isolated the lake.

It covered half of the capital before it stopped.

~Sigh~

"I can't do much with these restrictions… Sealing cultivation base like this is really shackling…" the Woman sighed before gazing at the sky that was perpetually overcast.

"For the Ancestral serpents to appear in a world like this… what secrets does it hold? Even most of the celestial worlds aren't qualified to bear the Ancestral serpents and a mere immortal world births two?" The woman wondered to herself, her voice not heard by anyone.

'I'll just have to bear it for a while. To avoid the Celestial court's spying, it is best I keep a low footprint… I cannot afford to offend the Void Weaver either… I'll have to reserve myself.' The woman thought as she stepped towards the registration counter.

~shua~

The formations flickered slightly as she passed by them unhindered, but they didn't sound any alarm.

"Weird…"

The guards who were working at the counter furrowed their brows. But then shook it off, seeing there was no problem happening.

The woman easily stepped out of the lake, her steps turning into blurs. Each step she took carried her nearly a kilometer forwards. Once she was out of the lake and past its barrier, the woman stepped into the air, rising into the sky.

~shua~

The clouds surged around her, forming a platform on which she stood.

"Peak of the Immortal realm is still enough to use in this world, that's good." The woman muttered as she looked at her hands.

Fine runes and Dao insights swirled around it, gathering without any effort.

"Now to do my duty as the Saintess," The woman picked a direction and started flying there, disappearing in mere seconds.

But just when she had left though, someone stirred in the Royal Place below.

"My Emperor, is there a problem?" In the Grand Place of the Dao Wind Empire, a minister spoke with concern.

A short distance from him sat a majestic man. This was none other than the Emperor of the Dao wind Empire! A peak immortal realm expert!

"I don't know… something felt strange… but I think I'm just mistaken." The Emperor replied.

The minister had a solemn look hearing this.

"The First Prince is said to have just arrived. Several other travelers have arrived too." The minister spoke.

"Oh? He arrived today?" The Emperor had a pondering look on his face. "Call him then…" he stated.

"At once," the minister accepted.

"Also… Investigate all those that have arrived today." The Emperor added.

…

Lin Mu and the rest didn't know of the happenings in the Dao Wind Empire. Neither did he know that there was now someone looking for him actively.

To him, the only thing in sight right now was a multitude of runes.

"As long as you master these runes, you will be able to decipher and use most of the low to mid grade Immortal formations." Xukong continued his lesson.

"I understand senior." Lin Mu said as he quickly got to work.

A few days had passed and Lin Mu had just stayed in the Sleepscape whiles earning from Xukong. His understanding of the runes was increasing rapidly, more so with the new ones being added to his scope of knowledge.

In fact, Lin Mu felt like some of the old difficulties he had were being resolved by learning the new runes. Even if they were complex, their essence was the same and their base was something Lin Mu had learned.

They were expanding on the foundations and thus made it easier to resolve older difficulties.

Lin Mu continued his lesson for a few hours, before he felt like someone was calling him.

"We should end it here for now." Xukong spoke. "Seems like we've reached the destination."

Lin Mu nodded his head and left the Sleepscape, his consciousness returning to his main body.

"Did you have a good rest, Noble Lin Mu?" Elder Niji who was standing next to him asked.

"I did." Lin Mu nodded his head before looking toward's the head of the ship. "So we are finally here."

"Indeed…" Elder Niji nodded his head. "The Safe Haven of the Haima Tribe… Deep Sapphire Island." The man introduced.

Lin Mu saw a rather desolate looking island in the distance that didn't seem to match its name.

"So we head underwater from here?" Lin Mu asked.

"No, first we head to the island. The array that will take us underwater is hidden there." Elder Niji replied.

"Very well. SPEED UP!" Lin Mu called out.
