Chapter 2427 Gaining Control Of Body
A few minutes before the events in the Capital City, Lin Mu had been peacefully reading the Memoirs of the Lost Immortal.
"To think he even managed to work in the Immortal Court with a hidden identity." Lin Mu read, finding it rather surprising.
According to the latest entry that he read, the Lost Immortal was recruited into the Immortal Court. Though his recruitment was not willing and was actually forced. This was due to the fact that he was using another identity that had caught the attention of a few officials from the Immortal Court and they wanted to take him under his wing.
Of course, the Lost Immortal didn't want that since his real identity was that of an offender for the Immortal Court. Lin Mu was especially interested in this due to the fact that his offenses were related to a certain object he had obtained earlier.
It was an object that now Lin Mu owned too… The Heaven Silencing Seal.
The memoir record didn't mention what he had exactly done yet, but it was enough to cause the entire Immortal Court to be after him, forcing him to take up a disguise. The disguise was meant to help him go around without being caught.
But he was now trapped in a scenario of his own doing and ended up having to go with it, since rejecting the Immortal Court with his alternate identity would only arouse their suspicion, since there weren't many that would try this. Especially those that were in his situation and had no status. It would only make the people of the Immortal Court think that he was hiding something and perhaps they would probe deeper and manage to figure out his real identity.
Though much to his surprise, his luck was favorable and he managed to survive in the Immortal Court for over a thousand years before finally managing to escape by faking his death on one of the missions he had been assigned too.
This was a nice change compared to before as most of the incidences that the Lost Immortal encountered ended up with him on the disadvantageous side. "The Lost Immortal sure kept on getting in trouble all the time, but he had luck…" Lin Mu couldn't help but wonder if this was due to the Heaven Silencing Seal too.
~CHIRP~
Lin Mu lifted his head from the memoirs and looked towards the source of the sound. He was sitting atop one of the high branches of the Violet Mystic Life Tree, which allowed him a good view of the Sleepscape.
Below him, he could see the twins and Ashy seemingly playing a game of tag. Normally the bird would be at far too much of a disadvantage, but she was now using her Dao Skill of Shadow Dive to catch up to the twins.
This was a method of training that the three had ended up coming with and was also fun for them.
"At least they're not bored." Lin Mu muttered to himself and was about to resume reading the memoirs when he suddenly felt light headed. "Huh… what is—" before he could think any further though, he felt incredibly sleepy and fell asleep right there on the branch.
None of his tamed beasts sensed this and only realized when his body disappeared from the Sleepscape!
Lin Mu felt a sense of Déjà vu when his mind became alert again.
'Am I asleep again? It can't be that I'm heading into the Astral Realm again right?' Lin Mu was worried and confused.
~HUMM~
But before he could think any further, a wave of burning heat spread through his body.
"ARGH!" Lin Mu groaned in his mind. "Not again!" The pain numbed his mind for a few seconds before he was hit with a realization.
"Wait… pain in my body?" Lin Mu could now sense all of his body. "I… I'm returning to my body!" he now understood.
The burning heat continued to radiate within him, going from the surface of his body all the way to the depths. It was harsh at first, but soon it started to get bearable for Lin Mu. And after a few minutes or so, he could now sense that the burning heat wasn't just moving randomly within his body, but actually took certain paths.
'Its flowing through the vessels in my body.' Lin Mu could now see them clearly.
He followed the movement of the burning heat and could sense it reaching every artery, vein and tiny capillary that was present within him. Ultimately, it filled his cells that seemingly rejoiced with power. And when this power reached seven of his organs, it released a massive power.
~HONG~HONG~HONG~HONG~HONG~HONG~HONG~
Seven cores awakened within Lin Mu's body, as Omnicore Ascendancy truly activated!
With full control returning to him, he willed his eyes to open.
~HUALA~
As soon as Lin Mu opened his eyes, a blood red scene filled his field of vision. ~HUU~
He breathed, and the rich scent of blood filled his lungs, a metallic taste covering his tongue.
"Lin Mu!"
But as he adapted to the environment around him, he soon heard another person calling out to him.
Turning his eyes, he soon spotted a familiar figure whom he had thought a lot about and had missed her too.
"Saintess…" Lin Mu responded, fully recognizing the person.
The Saintess had a white cloak covering most of her body with a veil hiding her face. But the aura and presence she exuded was not something Lin Mu would ever mistake.
The Saintess hearing his voice, felt relieved and was about to assist him in getting up when she noticed something.
~HONGLONG~
Seven lights glowed on Lin Mu's bare body as an attractive force was released from him.
~WHOOSH~
The force caused the blood lake to churn even harder, while the clouds in the sky started to spiral towards Lin Mu!
"What are you…"
Saintess who saw this, was surprised and wonder what was happening.
