815 A Pipeline Of Plans And The First Teleportation Gate

With the discussion done, several plans were made by Lin Mu and the Noon Grass sect.

The first plan was to make contact with the Long Cloud Alliance. This would have to be a careful step and they would have to ensure that the Zither Wind alliance does not get any hint about it.

The same could be said for the top three sects, and it was best if they were in the dark about it as well. Because if any of them found out, it may once again shift the balance of power and cause another race for conflict.

It was important that only the Long Cloud Alliance knew about it, but even then they would have to contact someone trustworthy. This was so that Lin Mu could be involved in it without getting attacked.

After all, Lin Mu was still someone wanted in the sects and the empire.

The next plan was to establish another teleportation gate in the Noon Grass sect. For this, Elder Liqiang and his entire Formations pavilion will be helping them. They were more than enthusiastic to help as they would get to improve their own craft as well.

Jing Luo would be making most of the formations and structure needed for the gate here itself and would then pass them on to Elder Liqiang, who would do the rest in the Noon Grass sect.

Then came the placement of people. For now, Daoist Hua decided that it would be best if Hua San and Hua Wu accompanied Lin Mu and helped him out with anything he needed. Though he also wanted the two to make use of time to cultivate in the Kong Plane.

And once the teleportation gate was established, he would be sending other talented disciples to cultivate in the Kong plane as well.

The Noon Grass sect did have a sacred ground of their own that could help in cultivation, but the problem with it was that it would take several decades before it would open again.

Thus, it could not be used right now even though they needed disciples to cultivate faster. Though the Noon grass sect and its elders collectively decided that they would increase the resources given to the disciples so that they could quickly cultivate.

They even decided to end the seclusion of several elders and disciples so that they could all go to the Great Southern Forest and hunt for resources. This was something even Lin Mu was interested in and decided that he would go if the opportunity arose.

Except Elder Liqiang, Daoist Hua and all the other elders would be heading back to their sect. They would currently focus on contacting the Long Cloud alliance and see if they could set up a meeting.

This greatly lifted the workload from Lin Mu and he no longer needed to worry about doing that part himself.

"Once we get some news from Jingming Shang about the situation in the Shuang Qian kingdom and Wu Hei, we will leave for the north." Lin Mu said to Jing Luo.

The two of them were currently alone in one of the courtyards assigned to them.

"Hmm… I should be done setting up the teleportation gate for the Hong Lin kingdom in a few days. After that, I'll prepare it for Noon Grass sect. Elder Liqiang will be helping me out, so it should be much faster than before as well." Jing Luo replied.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and looked up at the night sky. The moon was out and no clouds could be seen today. It was a pleasant sight that gave them a little relief from the day's stress.

"Seems like the day we meet your grandfather again is coming close." Lin Mu spoke.

"I'm looking forward to it as well. The Entrance token is already prepared so we are covered on that aspect." Jing Luo informed.

"Oh? That's good. Though what route should we take for going to your family's ancestral land? I don't think it should be accessible from the normal roads, right?" Lin Mu asked.

"Even I haven't been to that place before. Though I do know how to get there. And you're right, the route to get there is not from the normal roads. There are two ways to get there.

We can either go directly through the Black Dawn kingdom, or take another route through the Shuang Qian kingdom and leave it through the north west mountains." Jing Luo answered.

"I see… then we can finalize what path to take after seeing the condition in the Shuang Qian Kingdom. If things work out with Wu Hei, we might go there first, and if not, we will directly head to the ancestral lands." Lin Mu said after thinking for a bit.

"That should be fine." Jing Luo agreed.

With the plans made, Lin Mu discussed a few more minor things with Jing Luo before returning to the Kong Plane with him. There, Lin Mu focused on his Dao Shell while Jing Luo worked on the teleportation gate.

With each passing day, Lin Mu was getting closer to the shape that he wanted his Dao Shell to be and was finding more and more mistakes with it. Xukong told him to be very thorough with it and make sure all the flaws were checked by him, before he decided on the final design.

Hua San and Hua Wu also started cultivating in the Kong plane and made use of the resources that were given to them. Since they all knew that a great battle was lying in the future, no one held back on the resources and started using them as much as they could to speed things up.

King Hong was also progressing steadily and so was Little Shrubby.

Days passed like this and Jing Luo was finally done with making the first proper teleportation gate. This was installed in a special area prepared in the Palace and was guarded by many soldiers.

It was of course, a formality as without the approval of the defensive formations no one could enter it.
