Chapter 2090 Maneuvering In The Lava Field
Lin Mu had learned the Longgui Bulwark Armor to a decent level and was now a master in being able to handle the Magma. As such, being able to stand on the lava lake was a simple thing for him. The heat of the Lava was higher than normal lava that would be found in mortal worlds though, with most things burning and melting in it, if they were not strong enough to endure it.
Lady Kang watched as Lin Mu was now encased in solid rock armor and became impervious to the lava.
'A Qi skill?' She could tell that it was a skill and not some Immortal Armor with how it had appeared. Even the immortal Qi fluctuation coming from it were different and were not just pure Immortal Qi fluctuations.
'Its a mix of different types of immortal Qis… it's definitely not something common.' Lady Kang thought to herself.
She also didn't know what technique it was as she had never seen or heard of a technique like this. Of course, she knew of many techniques that could condense an armor for defense, but none of them matched what Lin Mu was using.
"Come out Little Shrubby," Lin Mu summoned his companion.
~shua~
Little Shrubby's body manifested in front of the, and he looked around the new place.
"Its warm here." Little Shrubby spoke, feeling all the Fire Immortal Qi in the air.
"Lady Kang, you can stay with Little Shrubby." Lin Mu offered. "I can still move, around." Lady Kang shook her head. "I have my ways." She said, before taking out a talisman and activating it.
~humm~
The talisman transformed into a flurry of lights that went to her legs, transforming into long boots with four pairs of wings.
~flap~flap~flap~
The wings flapped lightly, causing Lady Kang to rise up into the air by about a couple inches.
"Oh?" Lin Mu was intrigued.
"The Immortal Talaria Talisman still works here." Lady Kang spoke. "Its abilities are limited by the restrictions that are put in this space, but they at least still allow me to hover." She explained.
"I've never seen this talisman before." Lin Mu replied.
"The Immortal Talaria Talisman is from the Stellar Talisman school. They are a bit rare now and not many make them. But they come in handy from time to time." Lady Kang answered.
'Stellar Talisman school…' Lin Mu took note of them.
He knew that there were several schools of thought and practice in the world of formations. They specialized in paths that could be linked to a singular individual and then expanded on those. In a way, they were similar to Sects, but were more focused on research and were not composed of a singular entity. Rather, people belonging to a single school of thought could be part of many different organizations.
"Still, if things get difficult, get on Little Shrubby. It'll be much faster." Lin Mu advised.
"Alright." Lady Kang nodded, knowing how fast the Liger Beast was.
"Time to find those keys now." Lin Mu said, using his Immortal sense to find anything unusual.
Lady Kang did the same, but couldn't find anything right away. They also tried to get a sense of how big the location was, but it was wider than the range of their Immortal senses.
"This place is definitely bigger than the previous trial." Lin Mu spoke.
As far as his sight went, Lin Mu either saw glowing hot lava, or black rock structures. And upon looking up, all he saw was darkness. Even with the full range of his immortal sense, Lin Mu did not pick upon on anything above them.
"Hmm… its impossible to tell if we're under open sky or somewhere enclosed." Lin Mu said as he tried to extend his Immortal sense upwards.
"I think we are definitely somewhere enclosed." Lady Kang replied. "Otherwise, the restriction on flight would not make sense. The trial wants to make it hard to find the keys, which means that being able to fly would make it simpler to do so." She analyzed.
"Is that so…" Hearing that, an idea appeared in Lin Mu's mind. "Let's get to somewhere solid first. I might be able to do something." He stated.
Lady Kang obliged and the three walked towards the shore of the lake. The lake was roughly two hundred meters wide and thus it didn't take them long to stand on solid ground once more. Though the heat here was still quite a lot.
If a mortal were to stand here, they would find their shoes combusting spontaneously. Even the black rock was hot enough to melt lead!
"What is it that you want to do?" Lady Kang asked.
In response, Lin Mu took out a couple of talismans himself and activated them. Both the talismans were meant for protection against fire and heat, but they worked in a set area, instead of applying to a person.
~SHUA~
In a couple of seconds, a thin dome that was about five meters in size formed around them.
"This should work." Lin Mu muttered before summoning another beast.
~shua~
Lady Kang watched as a small bird now stood on Lin Mu's hand.
~Chirp~
Ashy let out a confused chirp as she had just been summoned randomly. One moment she was inside the Sleepscape and now she was in a place that seemed to be burning everywhere. It was unlike anything she had seen and it left her quite surprised.
"What is this place?" Ashy questioned, making Lady Kang surprised too.
"We don't know exactly. But we are inside an inheritance trial." Lin Mu answered. "We need some help in finding, Ashy. Can you fly around and help us?" he requested.
"Yeah!" Ashy nodded her head.
Lady Kang watched in amusement as the tiny bird seemed decently smart. Though when she checked the cultivation base of the bird beast, she found it to be quite weak.
"Dao Shell realm?" Lady Kang uttered. "It won't be safe for her here." She stated.
