Chapter 1248 A Successful Experiment　　”And here it starts.” Lin Mu said upon seeing the spirit Qi being pulled into the array.

”That was fast.” Elder Niji said in surprise.

”Indeed… I was expecting a little delay.” Lin Mu agreed. ‘I’ll adjust it according to a weaker cultivator next time. It should be even faster then.’ He noted.

Lin Mu’s mind quickly observed and analyzed the changes before coming up with solutions on the spot. The more he worked like this, the more amazed he was. Lin Mu could realize the mystery and joy of formations.

It greatly helped his learning pace and allowed him to improve at a faster pace.

After all learning from practical experience was a lot more insightful than just doing rote memorization.

Two hours passed like this before, a change was felt. It was very subtle, and other than Lin Mu and Elder Niji, no one else noticed it.

”The first person to breakthrough has appeared.” Lin Mu spoke. 

”So that was a breakthrough? What realm did they reach?” Elder Niji inquired.

”This should be the formation of a core. With a Nascent soul realm breakthrough we will see the tribulation clouds again.” Lin Mu replied.

”Mmm… the Tribulation clouds are rather good for us too. They are helping scare the Chasm Beasts away.” Elder Niji said.

Lin Mu nodded his head and knew that this was an unexpected gain of it. While they didn’t know how long the large scale beast tide would last, the presence of the heavenly tribulation seemed to have a suppressive effect on the Chasm Beasts.

Elder Niji and Head Warrior Kulo had observed the outside of the mountain in the past month, during which Lin Mu was researching. They had learned that the Chasm Beasts didn’t appear for about three days after the tribulation clouds went away.

From this, they assumed that each time a heavenly tribulation appeared, it would grant them about three days of respite from the Chasm Beasts. 

And in their current situation, when the Large Scale Chasm Beast tide was underway, the more they could shorten it, the better it would be for them. In fact, Lin Mu himself had made a point of observing the situation outside during the tribulation.

~shua~

Thirty minutes after the first Haima warrior reached the core condensation realm, another warrior did too. And an hour after that, two more broke though. The fifth and final warrior broke through fifteen minutes after that, and now all of them were in the core condensation realm.

With this, Lin Mu now had a baseline to set for next time. 

’Now to see how long it takes for the first person to reach Nascent soul realm. With their natural talent and the boundless supply of spirit Qi, it shouldn’t take long.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

Fifteen hours passed before the Haima Tribe heard the sound of thunder in the sky.

~RUMBLE~

”There we go… still a little faster than I expected.” Lin Mu muttered and took a note.

He then waved his hands and controlled the Earth Fixing Array to open a hole at the top. There was already a hole in the tribe’s ceiling from last time and it would be enough for the tribulation lightning bolt to pass though unhindered.

~BOOM~

The first lightning bolt arrived within a minute and passed through the Spirit Cultivation Attenuation Formation Array with ease. The array didn’t suffer any damage at all and simply allowed the bolt to pass through.

~Phew~

”At least the array works as intended even in tribulation.” Lin Mu took a breath of relief.

He was a bit nervous and unsure about this part, but now he had the confirmation for it all.

~BOOM~ BOOM~ BOOM~

Four lightning bolts was what it took for the first person to breakthrough successfully. 

The spirit Qi fluctuations of a Nascent soul realm cultivator soon appeared and were felt by every nearby tribesmen.

~Ding~

Lin Mu took out a metal plate and tapped on it, making a crisp sound. 

~thud~

In the next second, a Haima tribe member appeared on the outside of the green tent.

”Carry him away!” Lin Mu ordered.

This warrior who had appeared was none other than the first Haima Tribe member to have broken through. Currently, his complexion was a bit pale and his head was charred black. But other than that, his life was safe, and he was even conscious.

It was just that the man was unable to speak because of exhaustion.

The warriors on standby quickly carried their kin to safety and let him recuperate.

Lin Mu focused his attention back on the array and observed it nonstop for two more days. On the third day, the final warrior reached the Nascent soul realm and the array finally paused its work.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and walked towards the last warrior, who had just been ejected by the array.

Three days of continues observation without a break had exhausted Lin Mu. Though it was mostly mental exhaustion, since he was making fine changes and analyzing the array as well. With how much he used his brain, it was bound to happen.

But his work was not over yet.

”There’s still one last thing left…” Lin Mu muttered to himself and checked the body of the last warrior.

His spirit sense probed the man and gave Lin Mu an image of his Dantian. 

There, a Nascent soul with a wave like undulating patterns floated above a sea of spirit Qi silently. And at the bottom of the spirit Qi sea, Lin Mu could see a tiny marble.

’The compression of the array is even greater than that of a core.’ Lin Mu was surprised.

The tiny marble was none other than the suppressed spirit Qi of the warrior. Though Lin Mu found it to be a little too small.

’Hmm… this can’t be all of it.’ Lin Mu searched through the rest of the warrior’s body and saw more such marbles.

’So that’s way… if it is like this, then their further progress will only be better.’ Lin Mu concluded.
