Chapter 2205 New Directions And Humbleness

Everyone watched as the magical compass in Ziran's hand became active.

It was shaped like a basic compass, having four markers designating North, South, West and East.

The only difference was that the needle of the compass was suspended over a tiny blue crystal whose top had been shaven into a fine point. The needle was balanced on this and spun rapidly, as if it were being pushed around by a strong gust of wind.

"Is it working?" Lin Mu asked, seeing that the needle didn't stop even after a minute.

"It might take a bit of time, considering the size of this plane." Ziran assured. They watched for another couple of minutes, before finally the needle showed signs of slowing down. ~TING~

Then all of a sudden, it snapped into a certain direction and didn't move anymore. "There we go," Ziran said, feeling pleased.

He then adjusted the compass so that the markers were aligned properly and found out the exact directions.

"Alright, so it looks like we are facing the west right now." Ziran read the compass.

"West?" Lin Mu aligned it with the map they had made and quickly adjusted it according to the compass.

~SHUA~

The map rotated a bit and was now oriented towards the north.

"So our base is basically oriented in the North East and South West direction." Crown Prince Feng Shun observed.

Lin Mu understood the half elf's train of thoughts and realized that he could have made a mistake.

"Ah, I apologize." Lin Mu replied. "It could indeed lead to a loss for us if the herbs and resources got damaged in the process." He admitted.

"That is true... Even if you can take care to avoid damaging them, the Chimeric Beasts will have no such restrictions. They could end up trampling those things while running away or battling you." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded.

"But on the other side, if we are sure that there are none of those resources present in the area of a swarm or if they are extracted in advance, I see no reason to not eliminate them." Ziran chimed in again with a smile.

"That is certainly the better option." Lady Kang nodded.

"We'll do that." Lin Mu replied. "I'll be relying on everyone's experience for that." He said with cupped hands. "We'll do our best to help. It is for our benefits too, after all." Crown Prince Feng Shun chuckled.

The people were a bit pleased by the humbleness that Lin Mu showed. Most of the cultivators that they had seen at the level or even below Lin Mu tended to be quite arrogant and stubborn. It was far rare to find a flexible genius than a stubborn one.

Even in the case of Royalty, like in the case of Crown Prince Feng Shun and Crown Princess Shang, such things were common.

In fact, Crown Princess Shang herself knew that she wouldn't be so forthcoming and adaptive like Lin Mu if she was caught being in the wrong. There was a certain level of pride they developed as being royals, as well as being good at cultivation.

Crown Prince Feng Shun had plenty of siblings and cousins in his family that acted rather arrogantly and could even be abusive to those below them. While Emperor Feng was known to be rather just, he couldn't always monitor everything that his family was doing.

There were a few things that could be spared on the account of maintaining the dignity of the imperial family, but when things went a little too bad, the Emperor would have to act. Or rather, he would designate someone to act on his behalf.

After all, an Emperor personally punishing others would be quite degrading and below his status.

This was where Crown Prince Feng Shun came in. He often acted as the punisher for his father, at least in the case of the Imperial Family. This is also why Crown Prince Feng Shun had targeted Feng Baxing the Third Prince.
