Chapter 2223 Celestial Level Arrays

'What is this?' Lin Mu didn't even know what he was gazing at.

It was just pitch black, as if there was nothing there. And it wasn't the normal darkness of the void either… it was different. It was… Blank.

~THUD~

And before Lin Mu could look at it any longer, the small portal threw out a High Grade Immortal Stone and disappeared.

"Any success?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked.

"No." Lin Mu shook his head, his expression a bit confused. "This is strange, I cannot see anything there. It's just… Empty." "We are in a Celestial's Treasure, so there is a chance it is a Spatial Array at the Celestial level." Elder Hu reminded them.

"That is true." Ziran nodded. "If it is indeed something at the Celestial level, even Daoist Mu Lin won't be able to observe it." He knew just how far Celestials were from Immortals.

"That does seem like it, now that I think of it." Lin Mu had seen the other Celestial Arrays that were imbued into the very fabric of space before. He knew just how difficult it was to read them and those were just normal arrays. In case of the Spatial Arrays, they could be even more complex as was witnessed by him.

Even a small scale, Spatial Transfer Formation seemed to be impermeable to him. Their thought of tracking down the origin of the items and simply raiding them was unless now. "You won't be able to pry into these arrays at your current level, Lin Mu." A voice was heard while Lin Mu was thinking about it.

"Senior Xukong." Lin Mu knew who had spoken.

"I sensed the array." Xukong spoke. "It is indeed on the Celestial level." He had quickly read through the shared memories and knew just what had happened so far.

"No wonder. So there is no chance of me tampering with them." Lin Mu replied.

"None at all." Xukong confirmed. "Unless you wished to simply destroy it all… That might be possible but you definitely won't be able to obtain the rewards and there is quite certainly a contingency set for an event like that too. This place would likely self destruct if someone tries anything like that." He explained.

"That would be quite dangerous for us." Lin Mu raised his brows. "I reckon it was designed with interference form other celestial's in mind?" he guessed.

"Indeed. Only another celestial would be able to interfere with the arrays after all." Xukong agreed. "Though it seems like you've been through a lot in the last few days." He added.

"Ah yes… I've been meaning to talk to you about things, but you were cultivating." Lin Mu replied.

"Mmhm, after awakening earlier, I had to return to cultivation. I had woken up in the middle of a cycle forcefully." Xukong explained.

"Ah I see… I apologize for the disturbance then." Lin Mu said.

"It is fine. You were in danger back then, but you managed to resolve it on your own." Xukong said with a hint of pride. "You did well." He praised.

"Thank you senior." Lin Mu replied. "Ah yeah, I've obtained a few things and other matters I need to talk to you about—" Before he could finish his words though, Xukong interrupted him.

"You should resume what you were doing. I'll take a look through the memories and talk to you later." Xukong suggested instead. "Your companions are waiting after all.

"Yes. I'll wait for a bit then." Lin Mu said and looked at the others who seemed to be staring at him.

"Is everything fine?" lady Kang asked, seeing that Lin Mu had been silent for a while. "Yes, I was just thinking about the array." Lin Mu replied. "It surely is a Celestial array, thus I cannot interfere in it." He stated.

"If it is like that, then we cannot do anything." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke. "Still your effort is appreciated." He added.

"We should focus on the matter at hand." Monk Hushu spoke up. "I'm seeing some… Interesting things here." He said from near the wall.

"What is it?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked.

"Look here." The monk called him over.

Lin Mu went along and saw him pointing to a certain line near the very top. There were over ten thousand lines in a single column, thus making it hard to focus on a single line.

The specific line that Monk Hushu was looking at might have been just sixth or seventh from the ceiling thus they had to use this immortal sense to look at it.

"Immortal Paragon's Ring." Crown Prince Feng Shun and Lin Mu read in unison.

"Wait, what did you say?" Daoist Chu's looked over upon hearing it.

"It can't be… How's that thing here?" Crown Prince Feng Shun was surprised.

"You know what it is?" Lin Mu asked, feeling confused.

"Ah, people outside the Immortal Court probably don't know of it." Crown Prince Feng Shun realized. "But this ring is very important to the people of the Immortal Court." "Is it a strong Immortal tool?" Lin Mu asked. "What does it do?" he inquired thinking that it could be a Spatial Storage tool or something even better.

"It isn't exactly an Immortal tool… and it only has one function." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.

"So what is it?" Lin Mu was getting curious.

"It is the symbol of identity for the Immortal Court's Leader." Monk Hushu stated.

"The Immoral Court's leader!?" Lin Mu hadn't expected something like that to be here. "Indeed… Each Court has a leader and they are called as Immortal Paragons." Crown Prince Feng Shun explained. "Or at least they used to be called in the past." He said with a serious expression.

"They're not anymore?" Lin Mu was confused.

"Not every Immortal Court's leader is qualified to become an Immortal Paragon. While we don't know the exact qualifications behind it, we do know that there hasn't been an Immortal Paragon in the Immortal Court since the last generation."
