1898 Heading To South

Lin Mu and Little Shrubby soared across the land, as they began their journey to the south.

The area they were in right now was called the Capital Forests. 

These were the forests that surrounded the capital city and were divided into four sections namely North, West, East, and South. Lin Mu as such was in the southern part of the forest. Like most other immortal forests, it was filled with beasts, herbs, resources and more.

As such, there would be no lack of cultivators that would be out here trying their luck, especially considering how close it was to the capital.

It was very convenient for them to gather materials or hunt beasts here, before selling it all in the capital. 

This caused Lin Mu and Little Shrubby to come across many such cultivators who were in groups as well as individuals. Thankfully there were no issues with them since the cultivators all gave them a steady berth. It might have been due to Little Shrubby's speed and size, but could also be due to the unsettling feeling Lin Mu exuded when he looked at them.

If they didn't know there was someone around them, Lin Mu's gaze would send shivers down their spine.

Lin Mu was surprised by this too, as he wasn't able to do this before.

'Is this due to the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets?' Lin Mu wondered as it was the most likely reason.

It had reached the fourth stage of the two legged bull during his fight with the Third Prince, and was the only thing that had changed with him. 

Regardless of what it might be, Lin Mu thought he would only check it in detail once they reached their destination. 

It took them about two days to leave the Southern Capital Forests and they were now in a mountain range. Lin Mu and Little Shrubby came to a stop on one of the peaks, as they needed to verify where to go.

"Hmm, let's see…" Lin Mu took out the Jade slip and opened the map.

The formation screen appeared, and he could now see all the labels again.

'After the Southern Capital Forest comes the Minor Mite Mountains. From here, if I go East I'll end up in the Major Mite Mountains and if I go West I'll end up near the Osmanthus Lake.' Lin Mu read the map.

His Main goal right now was to go to the Evergreen Pillars Forest which was further to the south. But due to the topography of the region, one couldn't just go straight south. Between the Evergreen Pillars Forest and the Minor Mite Mountains stood the Great Meteor Wall.

"The Great Meteor wall huh…" Lin Mu looked at the red warning on the location label.

It was marked as a dangerous area and everyone was told to avoid it. 

This wasn't because there were some dangerous beasts living there, but rather due to the nature of the place.

"They said the Great Meteor Wall was formed after several thousand meteors from the skies of the Rust Sky World all fell together here. It was unknown as to why they specifically fell here, but the gravity there is considered to be deadly.

All those who approach the area will feel their body weight turning hundreds if not thousands of times higher. As such, even if Immortals with a high cultivation base were able to endure the gravity and cross the area, they still wouldn't be able to fly.

Not to mention, with the height of the Great Meteorite Wall which was basically just one large and narrow mountain, it was impossible to climb up. There were even momentary Gravity Rifts appearing from time to time, that would be in different directions.

If one accidentally got close to one, they would feel gravity pulling them from two directions, causing their bodies to get ripped apart.

There had been no lack of people who had tried their luck at the Great Meteorite Wall. After all, they all thought there must be some treasure hiding there after all this time.

But all those who tried failed.

It was said that even Transcendent Immortals would face defeat against the Gravity. While they might not die, their powers would become highly limited, preventing them from doing anything there.

And with how long ago the wall had formed, people simply started to ignore it after thousands of years.

Lin Mu, who was going through all this information, was surprised.

"Huh… this was formed over a hundred thousand years ago?" Lin Mu hadn't expected it to be that old. 

After learning all this though, there was no way Lin Mu wouldn't feel curious about the place.

'I have got to take a look with my own two eyes!' Lin Mu decided. "We'll have to change our directions from there anyways, so we may as well go closer to it." He reckoned.

"Where do we go now?" Little Shrubby asked.

"Still south, we go there till we see a giant wall." Lin Mu replied.

"Okay! Let's get going." Little Shrubby said and they continued their journey.

The two went deeper into the Minor Mite Mountains and saw its unique shape. 

"I can smell a lot of beasts." Little Shrubby said as soon as they started passing over the strangely shaped mountains.

Rather than mountains, it was more accurate to call them giant termite mounds!

"Yeah, there's a lot of Rock Biter Termites below us." Lin Mu replied. "All these mountains are actually their nests." 

"No wonder… There are tens of millions of them below us." Little Shrubby replied. "But I don't see any of them."

"That's normal. Rock Biter Termites don't like light and prefer staying underground. We'll see a few of them at night though." Lin Mu explained.

"I wonder how they taste." Little Shrubby said feeling the desire to eat.

"We can try some." Lin Mu replied. "The Minor Mite Mountains go pretty far anyway. It'll take us a week to cross them."
