Chapter 2365 Fishing In The Minor Void
Lin Mu's actions were very bewildering to the group as they were left watching.
"I got something from them." Lin Mu said as he looked at the small badge.
It was made out of iron and had the Dao Script Character for 'Wither' carve on it. But that wasn't all as Lin Mu could also sense immortal Qi fluctuations from it, showing that it was indeed an immortal tool of some kind.
"How did you… what did you…" Daoist Chu didn't even know what to ask first.
"You pulled that from the Minor Void?" Lady Kang though understood a bit better. "You can do that even after the destruction of a Spatial Tool?" she asked in surprise.
"Yes." Lin Mu answered. "I might not be able to get everything as its up to luck what items are scattered in the minor void upon the destruction of a Spatial Tool, but getting some should be possible." He explained.
"This… doesn't that just render the theft proof restriction on the Spatial Tools useless?" Qiao De couldn't help but say.
It was one of the most common restrictions that were placed on various Spatial tools. They could either make it so that upon the destruction of the Spatial Tool all the stored items were ejected into the Minor Void instead of being spilled out into the world.
It was used by almost all cultivators who carried any significant amount of valuables in their storage tools, as they were the first targets of any bandits or other nefarious cultivators that wished to obtain their wealth.
"I've never heard of a Spatial Master being able to do this…" Daoist Chu spoke. "There are some Spatial Masters that specialize in retrieving lost objects in the void… but that's never as simple as this." Ziran stated, having met one of them in his lifetime. "They need a lot of time and effort to do the same." He added.
"And yet, Daoist Mu Lin simply… fished in the void and pulled it…" Qiao De muttered in shock.
Lin Mu had expected something like this to happen but didn't elaborate further. After all, if they knew that this wasn't the limit of what he could do, they'd be left frozen for a while.
'Didn't expect I'd finally be using this skill after all this time.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
He hadn't fished in the void for a long time, due to the fact that it was not exactly a 'subtle' thing for the world. For mortals or lower realm cultivators it didn't seem like much, but every time Lin Mu did this, he set of a wave of Spatial disturbances that could be detected by specialized formations.
These formations were intended to be a detection mechanism for the 'infiltration' and invasion of worlds. It was a protective method and anything detected by it would alarm those monitoring it.
If Lin Mu did this carelessly in the Rust Sky World, it would very easily bring attention even if he might be somewhere hidden. After all, there were many powerful experts on the Rust Sky world, along with the Temple of the Four Guardian beasts which would most certainly detect something like this.
But now that Lin Mu was in the Bridge Plane, there was no such restriction as that. Of course, he had no need to do it before this, but now that several Spatial Tools had been destroyed, he could test his luck and see what he got.
The group was in shock for a few minutes, while Lin Mu checked on just what kind of Immortal tool the small badge was. But he hit an obstacle soon, as he couldn't do much to it other than sense the bare surface of its formations.
'It's encrypted quite deeply,' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'With such security, this is most certainly some form of communication or information storage tool,' He reckoned.
This was exactly the kind of thing that could help them in finding out more about the goals of Yao Changying, and possibly her whereabouts, too.
"Looks like we'll have to work on decrypting this together, Daoist Chu." Lin Mu said before telling everyone what he had learned so far.
"Oh? This could be the key to finding more." Crown Princess Shang was pleased after hearing that.
"Can you find more things that might have been lost?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked, thinking about all the Black Fin Island members they had killed.
"I can, but I don't know if I'll find anything for sure." Lin Mu replied. "This was from the very last Black Fin Island member that was killed, so the chances of finding something were higher. But I'll still try to see if I can find anything more." He explained.
"Of course." Crown Prince Feng Shun knew this won't be easy.
Just the fact that Lin Mu could do this in the first place was a miracle to them. "I'll get to searching then. Can you get to analyzing this Daoist Chu?" Lin Mu asked.
"Gladly." Daoist Chu said taking the small badge.
"We shouldn't split up too much. Five minimum in each group should be good." Lady Kang suggested. "Yes, that is more appropriate." Monk Hushu could see the caution in it.
"Let's go see them. I'll need you to guide me to where you were before." Lin Mu spoke to Lady Kang. "Yes." She nodded and climbed onto Little Shrubby's back with Lin Mu, along with Elder Hu, and Min Ju.
"Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang will continue their search." Lin Mu said, knowing that the twins were already trying to differentiate the smells and find something.
~WHOOSH~
With that done, Little Shrubby sped away with the four humans on his back. They first went to Lady Kang's location of the fight, where Lin Mu fished in the void for a bit but only managed to find a small pouch of Immortal stones. At Crown Prince Feng Shun's location, he pulled out a dagger though, which was better. And finally, at the place where he had fought, Lin Mu found nothing.
