1466 Reaching The Second Stage Of Bending Will Fist

Lin Mu felt an entirely new presence around him.

This was none other than the wind that flowed around him and was ever present. After all, even slight movements could give rise to wind, whether they be one's limbs moving or even one's breaths.

All this created faint moments in the air that would then affect the area around them. Of course, this was almost negligible in most cases, but to Lin Mu, it allowed him to have a firm grasp of how the wind flowed.

~SHUA~

Lin Mu lightly punched towards the front and a gust of wind was created along with it.

This caused the grass and leaves in front of him to move. But surprisingly, they didn't move in the direction of the wind, but rather opposite to it!

Lin Mu waved his hand, creating a breeze that swept the leaves and grass to the left, and then to the right. The more Lin Mu did this, the closer he got to the control he desired.

"Hmm… with this I should already be at the second level of the Bending Will Fist." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

He had the advantage of having a higher cultivation base as well as Immortal sense, thus Lin Mu was able to learn all this rather quickly. But to reach the third stage, he would need the practical experience gained from battle.

When he reached the third stage, he would be able to apply the concept of the Bending Will Fists in his other skills and moves too.

"You've done well for two weeks." Xukong spoke at this time.

"It's been two weeks?" Lin Mu hadn't even realized.

~Rumble~

And just on cue, he could feel his belly rumble.

"Guess it really has been two weeks." Lin Mu muttered. 'I guess this much should be enough for the Bending Will Fists. I'll have to learn the rest during combat.' He thought.

"Master!" The growing of Lin Mu's stomach could not be missed by the sharp ears of the beast. "Do you want to eat? I have many things ready!" Little Shrubby approached in his larger cat form.

"Mmhmm, I do feel hungry. Let's eat then, shall we?" Lin Mu nodded his head. "Do you want to join us, Saintess?" he asked out.

Lin Mu waited for a minute, but received no response.

"Strange… is she not here?" Lin Mu activated his spatial perception and looked around, unable to see the Saintess anywhere. "Guess she went somewhere."

Lin Mu let it be for the time being and went to the Dining room with Little Shrubby. There, the beast started to take out one dish after the other, filling the entire room with a mixture of appetizing aromas.

"These are the things' I've tested and made." Little Shrubby stated.

Lin Mu took a deep breath, finding everything tantalizing.

"It smells amazing. I can't wait to dig in." Lin Mu said, prompting Little Shrubby to serve him.

And while the master and beast had their meal, their missing companion was high up in the sky.

The Saintess was at such a height that the 'Rusty' sky of the Rust Sky world was now below her. An endless blanket of darkness and twinkling stars was above her, while a freezing cold was present around her.

She was currently on top of an asteroid, one of the countless that revolved around the Rust Sky world. These asteroids were the reason why the Rust Sky world got its name. A platform made out of clouds was below her and she sat cross legged on it.

~Sigh~

After a unknown amount of time, a sigh escaped the lips of the Saintess.

"There's barely any celestial Qi here…" The Saintess muttered.

She brought her hands forward and made a cupping gesture.

~SHUA~

Upon doing this, a few streams of energy coalesced between her palms. This energy gave off an ethereal feeling along with a sense of incomparable depth.

This was none other than Celestial Qi! The Qi that ranked above the immortal Qi!

If anyone were to see this right now, they would be terrified to no end. Even the Transcendent Immortal realm experts of the Rust Sky world would tread carefully with Celestial Qi around them.

After all, even a slight disturbance could kill them if they came in contact with it.

This wasn't an energy they could handle at all.

"Two weeks to gather just this much… If I was back in the Serpent Moon Sect I would've been able to condense an entire crystal of celestial Qi… But I guess this will have to do." The Saintess made a few gestures with her fingers, directing the Celestial Qi.

The celestial Qi swirled between her palms before forming into a specific shape. It looked like an esoteric rune and one would find it impossible to tell what its meaning was. Perhaps only the Saintess knew what she was doing right now.

'Guess this is the best I can do with my cultivation base restricted… Even this much celestial Qi should be enough for now, especially since I can't use my own celestial Qi.' The Saintess thought before bringing her palms together.

~HUALA~

When she did that, the esoteric rune directly imprinted itself on her two milky white palms. It lingered on its surface for a few seconds before fading away, as if it had never appeared in the first place.

"That should be enough to scare away most experts here…" The Saintess reckoned.

Normally with her strength, she had nothing to be scared of, at least not in an immortal world like this. But for some reason, she had been having a bad feeling for the past few days.

And no matter how much she tried to analyze it, she couldn't figure out the source of the feeling.

At her cultivation base, having such a feeling was not as simple as just being anxious. She was a celestial and her body could perceive the secrets of the Dao on some level. Thus, if something bad was happening, her body would naturally feel it.
