The Saintess had come to the Rust Sky world in search for two things. Both of them beings that were quite important to her.  The only difference was that one of those beings was very powerful and was the entire reason why she had come here personally.

“Divine Transmission? How’s this possible?” She said in disbelief.

“You shouldn’t ask what you can’t bear to know little girl. Now… Keep to yourself.” The cold and powerful voice warned her before disappearing.

The Saintess held her breath at that moment, not daring to breathe at all.

‘How can there be someone like that here? And they warned me when I glanced at the young man?’ The Saintess was taken aback.

She tried to make sense of it but she simply couldn’t.

‘For something to pressure even me… it can’t be that, can it?’ The Saintess didn’t know if luck was favoring her or not but this felt like too much of a coincidence to her.

She simply sat in silence for a minute, and Lin Mu did the same. None of them acknowledging what had just happened.

Unlike the Saintess, Lin Mu had already recovered.

“What… was that?” Lin Mu questioned in his mind.

“The woman tried to use her full perception on you. Seems like she is quite interested in you now.” Xukong answered.

“Ah… must’ve been the sudden appearance of my Golden Body. It was a mistake on my part too,” Lin Mu replied knowing that anyone would be interested at that point when they combined his immortal cultivation as well.

Then there was also the facts that the body cultivation techniques he practiced were also quite different.

“Looks like, I’ll have to keep a low profile from now on. Though I don’t know how effective that would be since she has already seen through quite a bit.” Lin Mu stated.

“She won’t bother you like that again. She knows well enough.” Xukong said in a calm tone. “You two can talk as you wish. Take the chance to learn more from her if you can.”

Xukong didn’t intend to stop Lin Mu from fully interacting with the Saintess either. Rather than that, he was pleased that Lin Mu had encountered someone like that, even if they might be a bit nosy.

‘Its a great opportunity for him to see the vast scope of cultivation.’ Xukong thought as he looked at the veiled woman. ‘Though she seems a bit familiar… have I seen her before in the Celestial World?’ he wondered.

He looked through his memories but couldn’t fully figure it out. It wasn’t as if he could forcefully take a look at the woman either as Xukong too was restrained by his avatar.

Then there was also the fact that the woman was truly a celestial with her cultivation base sealed. If it was his main body, he would be able to scan her with no issuers, but in his avatar he couldn’t do that.

‘At most I can warn her… but this is just an empty warning. If she really decides to attack, I won’t be able to act quick enough… A peak grade immortal I can restrain, but not a celestial…’ Xukong knew his limits too..

Him warning the saintess was something that was the height of what was possible as of now.

~sigh~

‘After I finish my molting, I should be able to call upon more power.’ Xukong thought.

The silence between Lin Mu and the Saintess was maintained for many hours as both of them decided to cultivate on their own. Lin Mu wanted the time to pass quickly so that he could reach the continent and the Saintess wished it passed quick so that she could progress on her search too.

‘Should I ask him?’ A few other thoughts were also hovering in her mind though.

From time to time, her attention would go to Lin Mu but she would disguise it. Lin Mu couldn’t pick up on it due to the veil as well as her own Air Dao Skill that could mask her appearance.

The hours turned into tens of hours and soon three days had passed by.

The ship had been progressing at a decent pace and was actually gaining more an more speed. The Captain of the ship couldn’t believe his eyes as he saw the wide open ocean.

There were no beasts on their path and neither were there any troubling conditions. Adding to this, the winds were blowing in their favor too, further speeding their progress.

If there was one thing he could say, it was that the heavens might have just blessed them these past few days.

Of course what he didn’t know was that there were actually two individuals that were behind this. Namely Lin Mu and the Saintess.

The scale in Lin Mu’s hand was what had kept the aquatic beasts away while the Saintess was secretly controlling the winds, spurring them at the back of the ship and speeding it up.

With her cultivation base, there was no way anyone on this ship would be able to sense it.

As for the other passengers in the cabin, they were the least bothered. The noblewoman would go to her private cabin from time to time, but a part of the guards would stay here.

Lin Mu didn’t really care for it as they weren’t interacting with him either.

Of the fifteen passengers, he had only talked to the Saintess so far. The Noblewoman and her guards had also lost their interest in him after this time since he just kept to himself.

Lin Mu had entered a deep cultivation state at a point and lost the track of time. By the time he came to, he realized that the there was a lot more noise on the ship.

“I see the port!”

“Steer the ship! We have been allotted the ninth division!”

“Careful! Don’t let the other ships touch us.”

A cacophony of shouts and orders were being sent out on the deck of the ship as the merchants worked frantically.
