Chapter 2262 Origin Of Chimeric Qi

Xukong's reaction was certainly not within Lin Mu's expectations.

There weren't many things that shocked the spider and when it did, it was usually quite serious.

"What happened Senior?" Lin Mu asked with concern.

"This energy... It shouldn't exist anymore." Xukong replied, feeling confused and concerned too.

His mind raced as he thought about how this could be possible, but no matter how much he thought there were incomplete aspects that prevented him from reaching the conclusion.

"What energy is this?" Lin Mu asked, wondering just how bad it could be.

"This energy... Is known as Chimeric Qi!" Xukong revealed.

"Chimeric Qi!? As in the same chimeras that we're seeing here?" Lin Mu asked in shock.

"Yes. The same chimeras." Xukong nodded.

"It... came from them?" Lin Mu was confused as he hadn't felt this Qi from the Chimeras at all. If he had, he would have surely remembered with how unique it was. Not to mention, the twins had eaten a lot of Chimeric beasts too and they would have surely recognized and told Lin Mu if there was something wrong with them.

But nothing of that sort had happened so far.

"No, it didn't come from them." Xukong denied.

"Huh... then why is it called Chimeric Qi?" Lin Mu questioned.

"That's because it is named after a cultivation technique." Xukong answered making Lin Mu furrow his brows.

It only took Lin Mu a couple of seconds before he made a realization.

"Wait... if it is named after a cultivation technique then that means... It is a type Qi that was 'created' due to a cultivation technique?" Lin Mu questioned feeling stunned.

It would be an almost terrifying thing if this were true.

After all while there were an unknown number of Qis in the world, they weren't 'created'. They had always existed, it was simply the cultivators that ended up discovering them.

It was similar to fire. Man might have discovered fire, but it had always been in existence since the conception of the universe.

As such a cultivation technique that led to the creation of a new type of Qi was simply unheard of. Lin Mu didn't even know if something like this was possible.

"Yes... it was indeed created due to a cultivation technique." Xukong confirmed. "It was the Chimeric Grand Revolution Cultivation Technique." He revealed.

Hearing that Lin Mu went silent and repeated the name in his mind, finding the name to be both interesting and confusing.

It was interesting as it was a unique type of cultivation technique that had managed to create a new type of Qi and confusing since it didn't seem clear whom the technique was intended for.

"This Chimeric Grand Revolution Cultivation Technique... is it meant for Chimeric beasts?" Lin Mu questioned.

"No." Xukong denied.

"Then who?" Lin Mu asked.

The more one Lin Mu looked at its form, the harder his heart beat. His blood surged such that veins popped up all over his body.

But the worst was when Lin Mu made eye contact with the creature.

~GASP~

Lin Mu felt like his heart was being squeezed at that moment. The creatures eyes were crimson like fresh blood and had pupils that were as dark as the very expanse of void itself.

Staring at them would find one getting lost, especially since it wasn't just one or two pair of eyes.

It was tens of thousands!

The creatures form continued to get clear, as if a fog was being lifted. But the more Lin Mu saw, the worse his condition got.

"BEGONE!" it was at that moment that a thundering voice was heard.

~SHATTER~

Upon hearing it, the image in front of Lin Mu broke apart and a wave of relief filled him.

~HUU~

He took a breath before trembling and collapsing to the ground.

~THUD~

~HISS~ HISS~

The twins rushed to him, seeing his sudden fall.

"Are you okay master!?" the twins asked in unison.

"I'm... okay..." Lin Mu said after a few seconds.

He held his head, feeling it throb even now. His heart was still racing, but at least he could breathe now.

After a minute or so, Lin Mu looked up at Xukong who was floating there with his eyes closed.

"That... thing." Lin Mu spoke. "Just how much Karma does it carry?" he couldn't help but question.

Lin Mu had learned that names of great beings could carry karma that could affect all those that spoke of it or knew about it. The effects varied from being to being, as well as the person who heard it.

But since Lin Mu had met Xukong, he had been protected due to the spider's karma.

In a way it balanced it, as even the Saintess's presence didn't affect him.

As such, Lin Mu hadn't expected the effects to be this drastic.

'Is this how others feel when they hear Senior Xukong's name?' Lin Mu wondered.

"That thing's Karma is something even I don't know about." Xukong replied. "But I do know that it was a being that shook the realms. It fought the Courts to a standstill and even defeated some of them." He added.

"Courts?" Lin Mu raised his brows. "As in not just the immortal court, but above too?" he asked.

"Indeed." Xukong confirmed. "That being led one of the three greatest wars of the entire cultivation world. A war that could have led to the end of all things we know." He revealed.
