Walker Of The Worlds

The rain of spirit Qi was gathering all the spirit Qi that existed in the air as of now. The wild man had replenished all the spirit Qi he had used in the battle in less than five minutes of the rain, while Lin Mu was even farther.

Within Lin Mu's Dantian, one could see the Nascent Soul that was floating in the center. It was bathed in the liquid spirit Qi, which fully covered it. Lin Mu's Dantian had already been filled to the brim with spirit Qi.

A few brown sections could also be seen which was nothing but the earth elemental spirit Qi which was also part of Lin Mu's Dantian. His meridians were flowing with spirit Qi as it nourished his entire body.

Fifteen minutes passed like this before the rain of spirit Qi finally stopped. The Wild man had not only replenished his spirit Qi in this time, but he had also increased his own cultivation base by a significant amount.

"His choice in disciples… is much more terrifying than I thought…" the wild man muttered.

No longer was any fury present on his face, and no battle intent could be sensed from him either. It was hard to believe that the man was fighting Lin Mu with his full power just twenty minutes before.

While the spirit Qi rain had been enough to give the wild man an increase in his cultivation base, for Lin Mu it had barely been enough to stabilize his cultivation base. Usually the spirit Qi infusion that happened after a cultivator breaks through to the nascent soul, was so that it could provide the baseline spirit Qi needed to maintain it.

A Nascent soul needed far more spirit Qi to become stable than a spirit core. But this was also an initial cost. As once it became stable, no matter how much spirit Qi a cultivator used up his cultivation base would not regress.

In the realms before the Nascent Soul realm, if a cultivator went below the limit of the cultivation stage, they would need up regressing their cultivation base. One could actually use up all of their spirit Qi in the core and made it collapse, causing them to return to the Qi refining realm.

But in nascent soul realm, even if one used up all the spirit Qi in the body, their cultivation base would still be in the Nascent soul realm. But on the other hand if the Nascent soul was damaged or destroyed the person would lose their entire cultivation at the very least, or be killed at the worst.

But the same Nascent soul also gave the cultivator a chance to live after death. If a cultivator was killed before his lifespan was about to end, they would be able to transfer their true soul into the Nascent soul and let it wander outside the body.

Thus, even if the body died, they could live on in the Nascent soul. And if they were lucky, they may even be able to find another body to inhabit or if they were forced, they could even steal someone else's body.

All of these abilities were now what Lin Mu could use if he chose to do so. Once this entire process was done, Lin Mu felt a buzz going through his body, which made him wake up. Upon awakening, he saw the Wild Man sitting a short distance away from him.

As soon as he saw that though, rage appeared in Lin Mu's eyes.

"YOU!!!" Lin Mu shouted.

The Wild Man saw that Lin Mu had woken up and was a bit surprised. He was about to say something when Lin Mu came flying towards him at a great speed.

"Now DIE!" Lin Mu yelled as his fist came flying towards the Wild man.

Lin Mu was not even using the Boulder Collapsing fist, yet the power contained in this punch was no less than of the first form- Impact. This was now just his pure strength coming from the combination of his Five treasures realm cultivation which had entered the second stage having completed the refinement of the first organ and the upgrade in his cultivation base.

~whoosh~

The winds generated from Lin Mu's punch were strong enough to make the broken branches and leaves around them fly away. The Wild Man had a shocked expression on his face, and fear could also be seen in his eyes.

"STOP! You passed the test! You are worthy of being Jing Wei's Disciple!" The Wild Man hurriedly shouted.

~Woo~

The fist came to stop just an inch away from the Wild Man's face, but even that was enough to redden his skin. The compressed air was enough to graze and scratch his skin, making him bleed slightly.

But the Wild man would very well take this kind of damage than the full force impact of that punch. While he had been able to take multiple of these before, one had to know he no longer had any of the defensive treasures on him and his spirit tools had been broken as well.

Even with his recent progress in his cultivation base due to the rain of the spirit Qi, he very well doubted he would be able to endure the power of the punch. And even if he did, he would be quite injured from it with multiple broken bones.

Lin Mu who had stopped mid way, lifted his head and looked the wild man straight in his eyes.

"What did you say?!" Lin Mu asked, anger still visible in his eyes.

"You passed my test! I know you are the disciple of Jing Wei!" The Wild Man repeated.

"How do you know Jing Wei?" Lin Mu questioned, still maintaining his attacking stance.

"He's my grandfather." The Wild man revealed.

"Grandfather…?" Lin Mu muttered as he looked closer at the Wild Man.

He tried to compare his feature with that of the old man Jing and realized they did seem to be a bit similar.

"Luo'er?" Lin Mu muttered.
