Chapter 2424 Completing Cores

Lin Mu's time spent in Omnicore Ascendancy was shorter than he had expected it to be.

"I'm out of everything..." Lin Mu muttered to himself, a slightly listless expression on his face.

"Well, you did spend two years consuming them nonstop." Xukong replied with a nonexistent wry smile. "I wouldn't be surprised if they ended earlier." He said honestly.

~Sigh~

"I suppose its better than nothing." Lin Mu replied as he glanced within his body.

Within him, Eight small cores were now floating in different locations.

The core at the very top was the lightning core located in the center of his brain. It hadn't increased in size much as compared to before, but at least it was a proper sphere now. Though it was still very tiny and would be hard for a mortal to see with their naked eyes.

It was the core that Lin Mu had the least amount of progress due to the lack of materials. Then next core after it was the Metal Core which was located between Lin Mu's lungs. It had grown considerably and was now the size of an individual sea grape.

The core had technically finished its formation and as such, Lin Mu would start to get effects from it. But since he wasn't in the actual control of his body right now, he was yet to feel them.

'I suppose I'll have to truly 'wake up' to feel its effects.' Lin Mu reckoned.

Lin Mu directly summoned his Rune Shaping Brush and began to draw formations in the air. The method of improving on formations was rather straightforward as one simply needed to practice till they got better. Practice also improved one's comprehension after a while and the more Lin Mu did it, the better his speed would get.

There had been many runes, formations and arrays that Lin Mu had observed in the Spatial Plane, as well as others that he had learned from Daoist Chu and Ziran. He had also obtained a lot of records and books about them from them and from the Offering Hall.

As such, he had a lot of content to go through.

Lin Mu spent the next three years doing this, while occasionally taking breaks to play with the twins and Ashy. This helped refresh his mind and refocus. He also read the Memoirs of the Lost Immortal in between and learned more about the things he had done and experienced.

But eventually, Lin Mu felt like he was reaching a plateau with his formations too, thus decided to pause it and focus on something else. Xukong had advised him on this and told him that needlessly forcing improvement would only harm him too, and it was better to rotate between tasks so that his mind would perform better. This turned out to be the best, as a lot of the doubts that he had before with formations with spontaneously resolved when he was focused on other things.

He also managed to apply knowledge from different spheres of cultivation to formations, thereby improving it further.

The next two years were spent like this while Lin Mu switched between a lot of reading, revising his techniques and skills, as well as practicing formations on top of playing with his tamed beasts.

Year after year passed, as Lin Mu's internal state was unknown to everyone other than those in the Sleepscape.

Back at the Capital of the Dao Wind Empire, a small gathering was currently taking place in the private palace of the Crown Prince.

There were guards posted everywhere in the palace, and even the entire city's security seemed to have been raised by several levels. Three individuals approached the Crown Prince's private palace but weren't stopped by the guards.

A mere look was all they needed to know: they were the Crown Prince's close companions and the Imperial Guests of the Dao Wind Imperial Court!
