Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 513 - Fortune And Guilt



Finally, Lin Mu understood that this nascent Soul realm cultivator had some nefarious motives behind his actions. There was no way a nascent soul realm cultivator would randomly assist some random outer court Qi refining realm cultivators like this.

Lin Mu kept on reading, wanting to find out more.

'I knew if I alarmed my companions at that time, the Nascent Soul realm cultivator might just kill us all.

But I did not want to give up on my female companion either. Thus I followed behind the man. Though strangely the man did not fly even though he could and simply waked from the edges of the ravine.

He walked steadily and had the female companion of mine on his back the entire time. They went past winding paths across the ravine and I too followed behind. During the entire time, I was sure that I would be found out, but somehow I wasn't. The man didn't even use his spirit sense to check the area around him, as if he was fully confident of himself.

Though I was cautious as well and stayed a couple of hundred meters behind just in case.

Hours passed by before the man finally reached the location he was intending to go to this entire time. It was a small cave that was carved out at the side of the ravine and was hidden from the view of anyone who passed by.

If one did not take the path that I had taken, I doubted anyone would notice the small cave snuggled between ravine walls. The man entered the cave, and I stopped far from it. I was sure that if entered the cave, I would definitely die.

I waited there for about an hour before I heard screams. The scream belonged to the Nascent Soul realm man and he was sent flying out of the cave. I could see that the bottom half of his body was missing and blood was spilling out of everywhere.

The man's torso fell down into the ravine, never to be seen again. I waited there for hours in anxiety but my curiosity eventually won and I went to the cave, my each step trembling. Peering into the dark cave, I could not see anything.

Thankfully, I knew some basic fire techniques and was able to ignite a fire to illuminate the area. Inside the cave, I saw ruins of what could only have been a cultivator's abode. There were formations around it that were now destroyed and also the bottom half of the Nascent Soul realm cultivator from before.

It was evident that he had been bisected at this location and had in turn destroyed the formation as well. I reckoned that he was trying to unravel the formations that were located here and made a mistake that led to his death.

I looked around for my female companion and was able to find her. Alas! She was not alive. All that was left of her was a pool of blood with chunks of flesh floating in it. I guessed that the Nascent Soul realm cultivator was using her to open the formations somehow.

It took me a while to get hold of myself, but I eventually managed to calm down my throbbing heart. The fear took more time to get rid of, but it eventually passed. With all that done, I decided to explore the ruins.

In there I found a lot of things including treasures. I now knew that I had become incredibly lucky, but at the expense of my female companion and the nascent soul realm cultivator. I was no fool and decided to take full advantage of this opportunity that the heavens had bestowed upon me.

Not only were there treasures but there were also a lot of cultivation techniques and books here. After reading those books did I realize that the most precious things in this abode were actually the books.

The book mentioned of more treasures hidden in many places all over the continent. But not all of their clues were in that book. Whoever was the owner of this abode, he didn't want to pass on his legacy that easily.

He wanted to make sure that his inheritor had the determination and drive that he deemed worth. The books didn't even mention the cultivation base of the person who this abode belonged to, but seeing all these treasure and the formations that were able to kill a nascent soul realm cultivator, I estimated it to be am Adult stage nascent Soul realm cultivator at the very least.

I also discovered that the nascent Soul realm cultivator who had died was not the first person to find this place. There were plenty of fragments of skeletons that I had missed initially due to my fear. 

I collected whatever treasures there were into the five spatial storage rings I found there and hid them in my clothes. Then I made it seem like I had been injured by tearing my clothes and left the cave, returning to my companions.

They were anxious and looking for us this entire time and were scared since we had now been gone for nearly three days. Our senior brother had nearly called the mission off because of this and wanted to report to the sect.

Had it not been for the distance between the ravine and the sect, he would have already called them with the communication jade slip. They were surprised upon seeing me and questioned my disappearance.

I could only attribute this all to the Nascent Soul realm cultivator. They were placated for the time being, but I knew the senior brother had suspected something. I was sleepless that night but finally made a decision.

Using one poison I got from the cave, I spiked the food that we were going to eat that morning. My companions slept unaware of this and finally died by the next afternoon. I still remember their expressions as they died and it will forever stay carved in my memories.' 

Reading the entire thing, Lin Mu could only think of this as a classic case of paranoia over fortune.
