Lin Mu didn’t know what to truly think about the artifact spirit in front of him.

On some level she was possibly one of the strongest beings he had met so far and at the same time she might have the youngest mentality of them all. If it weren’t for the fact that the Deep Sapphire City had restriction that only allowed Haima and trusted people inside, it wouldn’t be out of the norm for someone to take advantage of her.

Lin Mu had already seen something like this before in the Memoirs of the Lost Immortal. But that was an even greater danger than this. The memoirs didn’t mention it in detail, but it talked about a great sword that was the size of a sky-piercing mountain.

The sword was something many people knew of and was considered to be an ancient artifact that many people visited in hopes of obtaining some fortune. The Lost Immortal was one such person too and even gained some insights from it.

But during that time, there was someone who managed to uncover the secrets of the sword and awaken its artifact spirit. The person then made use of the artifact spirit to massacre an entire world, using the dead to further his cultivation base.

The Lost Immortal was lucky that he had left just a short time before all this had happened. He had left this incident as a warning to whoever would find the memoirs. It would make them be wary about such possible incidents.

‘At least Elder Niji will now have the proper control over it all… plus the chances of anyone coming here are quite less…’ Lin Mu thought.

He continued to walk around the temple, while Lanbao explained some of the statues and scriptures that were carved on the walls and pillars. She told him about the different kinds of beasts they were and also the stories that were written on the walls.

It was quite useful for Lin Mu and he intently listened to it all. A few hours passed like this before they felt a wave of energy sweeping over them.

“Elder Niji’s awake…” Lin Mu could instantly tell that it was him.

“Let’s head back!” Lanbao pulled him along.

Back at the shrine, they saw Elder Niji standing with a thoughtful expression on his face.

“Congratulations Elder Niji.” Lin Mu greeted the man.

“Thank you, Noble Lin Mu. All this would not have been possible without your help.” Elder Niji replied with gratitude.

Having imprinted his brand on the core of the city, he knew about all the powers and abilities he had in it. As well as the fortune that was hidden in the city for thousands of years.

All of it was enough to make any immortal or emperor in this world envious. For him and his clan to obtain it could only be called the heavens’ favor.

“Though, what were you thinking about?” Lin Mu asked with interest.

“I was thinking about all the stores of the city, there are many like the Immortal Qi storage, Immortal stone storage, treasure storage and more.” Elder Niji replied, “we need to open these up. Especially the ones that are overflowing.” He added.

“They’re overflowing?” Lin Mu asked in doubt.

“Yes. The Immortal Qi storage is the main one that is overflowing. This storage has several arrays on it. Some of them gather it, some condense it while some collect and convert it into Immortal stones.

But over the years, the Immortal stone storage has reached a very high level and thus the buffer storage of the Immortal Qi storage cannot keep up with the Immortal Qi that is absorbed.” Elder Niji replied.

Lin Mu’s brows were raised in surprise hearing this. Not just due to the fact that they had an array that could convert Immortal Qi into immortal stones, but the fact that even this was overflowing.

“Well then, we should check it out.” Lin Mu spoke.

“Yes, but before that, I’ll let the rest of the tribe in.” Elder Niji said before looking at Lanbao. “Can you open up the residences and allow the tribesmen access?” he asked.

“Of course,” Lanbao replied closing her eyes for a moment and writing something in the air. “It’s done.” She said opening her eyes.

“That was fast…” Lin Mu was impressed with the efficiency of the Artifact spirit.

“Let’s head on over to the storage then,” Elder Niji said while making a gesture with his hand.

~shua~

Water drops gathered under them and formed a small platform large enough to hold the three. It then floated into the air before zooming in a certain direction.

“This is convenient,” Lin Mu said sensing the runes within the water platform.

He knew this was actually one of the functions of the city’s grand array.

“I now have control over most parts of the city. The rest I’ll need time to grasp and I’ll also need to wait till my cultivation base increases to access some parts.” Elder Niji revealed.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be able to grasp them soon enough. After all, Lanbao said that the city will naturally channel Immortal Qi into you, allowing you to cultivate faster.” Lin Mu replied.

“Not just me, every Haima that is in the city will have the same benefit. Just not on the same level.” Elder Niji agreed.

“Oh, they will?” Lin Mu raised a brow.

“Mmhmm, right now the number of Haima that are present are too few. This city is meant to support over fifty million citizens with all of them having such a passive benefit. We can amplify this effect to just the members currently present.” Elder Niji explained.

“Fifty million… that’s huge.” Lin Mu was surprised.

“That’s not all, there are specific cultivation areas which have an even greater amplification effect.” Lanbao added.

Lin Mu now looked forward to all the secrets that this city held within its limits.

A couple of minutes later, they finally reached the large storage area of the Deep Sapphire City.

“Whoa…” Lin Mu exclaimed seeing it.
