Chapter 2163 A Profound Voice
Xukong had been deep in cultivation for quite some time.
He had known that Lin Mu was entering an inheritance ground and that it was an uncharted territory. But he didn't mind it and knew that Lin Mu would be able to handle things. Xukong himself was close to a minor breakthrough in his cultivation and was fully focused on it.
Of course, he could sense when Lin Mu was going through teleportation channels or through the space, but it didn't bother him since it was all normal. For Xukong, Lin Mu was finally at a level where he didn't have to watch him all the time. Even if he was entirely unable to contact him, Lin Mu was capable of handling himself, or at the very least escape. He had all the skills in his arsenal and had planned for it.
But there was a limit to which Xukong gave him a freehand.
He wouldn't have minded if Lin Mu was wandering the void or swimming in space.
But he certainly didn't expect him to be jumping into a pit of death!
As such when he felt the overwhelmingly strong aura of death, Xukong was forced to awaken.
"WHERE ARE YOU?!?" his voiced boomed, not only in Lin Mu's mind but everywhere within the space.
Since Lin Mu was technically within the void still, Xukong had fewer restrictions than normal. But this also meant that the others that were with him could also hear it.
"AGH!" To them, the voice was not easy to bear and almost knocked them out merely by listening.
On some level, its impact felt stronger than the Aura of Death itself.
"Senior!" Lin Mu was surprised by Xukong's voice too, especially considering that it was audible outside his mind. "We're in a Teleportation Channel." He quickly informed.
Lady Kang and Crown Prince Feng Shun had managed to get over the impact of Xukong's voice and were unable to wrap their minds around what it was. Elder Hu and Ziran were the next ones to snap out of it, with the rest soon following after.
All of them had the same thoughts, but a few of them felt a strange fear within their bodies. It was a fear that even surpassed the effects of the death aura.
Ziran's elven bloodline quivered within him, leaving him speechless. 'What… in the name of… Tree mother…' Ziran tried to keep his thoughts coherent but was finding it hard. 'What kind of voice… can have this power…' He didn't couldn't place a finger on it, but felt like he had lost something.
It was not a physical loss that Ziran could estimate, but something immaterial. Both his elven bloodlines, the Wood Elf and Dark Elf bloodlines found the voice to be something beyond their limits. It was something Ziran had only seen a couple times in the past.
It was a feeling of suppression. Having lived in the Demon World, he had seen demons with purer bloodlines suppression those with weaker bloodlines. But Ziran hadn't experienced it himself, as there had been no one that could do that. 'Suppression… over me? Even a full blooded elf wouldn't be able to do this… Just what is this?' Ziran had a thousand questions which couldn't be answered.
Monk Hushu felt it differently. 'Such might within a voice… Even the direct oration from an Arhat wouldn't compare to this.' Monk Hushu thought.
Crown Prince Feng Shun meanwhile felt it as a sense of majesty. 'Father isn't even a fragment of sand compared to this…' Feng Shun didn't know what kind of a ruler one would have to be, in order to develop such majesty within their voice.
The others all had similar effects, with most simply finding the voice powerful. They didn't have the kind of insights that these had with the exception of one, Lady Kang.
Her experience was perhaps the most profound among them all. Her senses had went blank once the voice passed over, and she suddenly found herself in a new place
~shua~
A shimmering sea whose shores could not be seen was beneath her, while a star light sky was above her.
But if one looked closely, they would realize that what was below her wasn't a sea filled with water, but Qi!
And the sky above her was not the night sky, but rather a large diagram!
"This… My Dantian?" Lady Kang recognized the space she was in.
She had seen it many times, and was deeply familiar with it. As such, there was no chance that she would miss her sea of Qi and the Dao Embryo above her.
This also meant that she was currently conscious as her Nascent Soul.
~HUALA~
Lady Kang's attention was drawn by her Dao Embryo, forcing her to gaze at it. It was bigger than most other Dao Embryos and if Lin Mu saw it, he would be stunned since the Dao Embryo took up almost the entirety of the Dantian's surface area! It looked like a realistic sky with millions upon millions of stars on it, but in reality it was actually a Star Chart.
"The Astral Star Chart Dao Embryo…" Lady Kang muttered as she watched something she had never seen before.
The stars on the Star Chart seeming moved, which should have been impossible. ~WEENG~WEENG~WEENG~
They flew at a great speed, and gathered around her, as if protecting her. With how many stars there were, even if they were the size of dots, they still managed to form a solid dome around the Nascent Soul.
"What is it—" Before Lady Kang could even question anything, the dome around her was rocked!
~BOOM~
The dome shook violently from the impact of the wave, but eventually managed to hold up. She saw what could only be described as a giant wave striking the dome. She didst know what kind of energy the wave was made of, but for a moment she managed to peer inside the wave.
'Webs?' She was baffled.
