Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 405 - Above Immortal Ascension Realm!!

Chapter 405 - Above Immortal Ascension Realm!!

Gu Yao was feeling both ecstatic and anxious at the same time. Ecstatic because his plan was finally in its second phase and anxious because of Lin Mu. He was still confused about how or why the restrictions and seals were not working on the boy.
He could understand the case with the supreme elder of the Tri cauldron peony sect as the man was near to him in terms of cultivation base, while in the case of Wu Teng it was because of his willpower and him lowering the restrictions back then.
Another thing was their bloodline itself. The bloodline of the Gu clan flowed in both of his nephews, and it was also why his skills wouldn't work properly on them. Gu Yao himself was unsure about the things that he had learned from that invader.
He knew that it was a rather different kind of invader and was perhaps quite powerful. Even he had only been able to stop it from taking control over his body because of the blood pool and his cultivation technique. But that invader had also taught him some things inadvertently.
While trying to free himself from its control, Gu Yao was able to learn the methods it used. Seeing that they were rather useful, he adapted them into his own cultivation technique and created the Human Controlling Blood Curse.
He also knew that the technique was not absolute and came with its own set of conditions. One of the conditions being that the technique needed a large quantity of blood essence and also needed a specific formation array to work.
That was the reason why he had not left this chamber. If he wanted to, he could have left at any time, but he was staying here willingly, waiting for the prey to walk in. The gate that blocked the entrance and the barriers around it were a kind of a test that would only allow a strong cultivator to pass.
Gu Yao had been ready the entire time and continued to grow his blood essence reserves while waiting. The more time he stayed hidden, the more blood essence he would obtain and the stronger cultivators he would be able to control.
When Wu Xun was summoned by the king of the Shuang Qian kingdom, Gu Yao knew that it wouldn't be long before their existence was revealed to the world. That's why he had planned to do another large-scale sacrifice and divert the attention of the people by taking advantage of the marriage of his elder nephew.
In fact, the entire marriage alliance was suggested by Gu Yao himself, so that lots of cultivators could be gathered here together. He had thought the plan was close to success but just a single day before the marriage this had happened.
'Fate is unpredictable… but my actions are not!' Gu Yao thought to himself as he looked at Lin Mu, who still had a smile on his face.
While Lin Mu was able to still speak, he was stuck in his previous position with his right hand closed in the form of a fist and his left hand at his side.
"Now where were we? Ah yes, your upcoming punishment." Gu Yao said while looking at Lin Mu with an evil glint in his eyes.
"Tell me brat, what is your Master's cultivation base?" Gu Yao questioned as Lin Mu had asked.
His eyes glowing in red as he activated his skill to detect lies. He could tell if someone was lying by perceiving the changes in their blood flow. With the bloodstreams covering them and the restrains active, his accuracy was a hundred percent and perhaps only someone who was many times stronger than him may be able to lie to him.
But if that was the case, then they would have no need to lie and would be able to fight their way out anyway by overpowering Gu Yao.
Lin Mu took a breath and glanced around at the condition of the other before speaking.
"My master's cultivation base is… Above the Immortal Ascension Realm!!!" Lin Mu revealed, his voice echoing in the chamber.
At first, Gu Yao was looking at him with a ridiculing gaze, but as he looked on, his expression started wavering.
"He… he… he's not lying… how… how can it be?" Gu Yao muttered to himself.
"Say that again, what is your master's cultivation base?" Gu Yao questioned again, doubting everything.
"I said, my master is a being above the Immortal Ascension Realm and if that's not enough then know that he is thousands of years older than anyone in this world!" Lin Mu said, adding fuel to the fire.
He knew he had trapped Gu Yao in a dilemma and as long as he stayed in it for a little while more, Senior Xukong's plan would work.
"You… you're not lying," Gu Yao said; this time clearly.
The remaining four people in the chamber heard it clearly. Wu Hei was frozen in place as his expression switched to that of shock. Qing Yuan Tiu stumbled back hearing the confirmation from her sect's ancestor. While Yi Deng was currently being assaulted by the ability of Gu Yao, he was still able to hear what had been said.
The most affected was the supreme elder.
'I… tried to recruit the disciple of an ascended cultivator…' the supreme elder thought.
Trying to recruit or taking in someone else's disciple was considered a sin in the world of cultivators. The relation between a master and disciple was sacred, and violating it was considered one of the biggest taboos.
If a cultivator was found to be poaching someone else's disciple, that cultivator had the right to challenge and fight him for it. Even if it was said in passing, the other cultivator could still take offense and attack them.
While the sects frequently poached disciples from other sects and wandering cultivators, that was only done because their masters were weaker. But a cultivator that was above the immortal Ascension realm? That cultivator wouldn't even need to lift a finger before flatting the entire Great Zhou Empire.
