Walker Of The Worlds

With the discussion coming to an end, the group continued to sit at the table.

~Rumble~

The faint rumbling of thunder could be heard coming from afar, a dark curtain hanging from the skies in the distance.

"How long till we reach the Islands?" Lin Mu questioned seeing the storm that they seemed to be heading towards.

"We shouldn't be that far… A day or two at most." Qiao De said, looking at the compass embedded in the pedestal.

"I see… Though it looks like we have a rocky journey ahead of us." Lin Mu replied, looking at the storm that continued to get closer and closer.

~shua~

His immortal sense spread to the maximum range, allowing him to feel the storm. The lightning and wind raging there were prominent and were easily picked up by his Immortal sense, even though it didn't exactly reach the storm which was at least twenty five kilometers away. 'The lightning and wind energy is quite strong… far too strong for it to be a normal storm.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Normally the energy of a storm should be limited to a short area around it, really exceeding more than a kilometer from its limits. But this storm seemed to have its energy spreading more than fifteen kilometers. "We'll be fine." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "This ship can take a lot more. And we've already been through hundreds of storms getting here. The people on it won't even feel it rock." He chuckled.

"Oh… Guess this'll be a good chance to observe it." Lin Mu said.

He had been inside most of the time when they had passed though the storms, as such he didn't get to experience it personally. But now he would get to see the effects of all the arrays that were present on the ship.

A few minutes passed, before the ship finally entered the embrace of the storm. The sky disappeared, and only dark grey clouds were now visible above them. Streaks of white lightning ran through the clouds, jumping down from them time to time. The ocean below them stirred like an endless grinder, while whirlpools formed everywhere.

The churning ocean, crashing waves, roaring winds and rumbling skies seem to all merge together, forming a picturesque scene that could be appreciated well when one was in the peaceful defenses of the ship.

"There is a certain sereneness to it," Lady Kang agreed, watching it too.

The group seemingly watched the stormy ocean, feeling faintly connected to it and marveling at it. Lin Mu was the same, and found a certain harmony in it all, making him ponder on it.

Their time passed quickly in this, and twenty hours swiftly went by. ~WHOOSH~

At a certain point, the ship passed through another stormy curtain before coming out on the other side.

"The storm's gone." They all saw.

Lin Mu turned and looked back, finding the curtain of the storm firm in its place. It was unmoving, as if acting like a barrier. He followed the expanse of the curtain and found it curving in the distance. "We're here!" Qiao De said, spotting some dark spots in the distance.

Everyone stood up at that moment and followed his gaze, quickly noticing the landmasses on the horizon. "The storm… It specifically surrounds these islands, doesn't it." Lin Mu said, having understood its unique layout.

"It does indeed… that's how it has stayed hidden all these years." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded his head.

"Without the compass, finding it would certainly have been impossible." Ziran agreed. "There are far too many storms in the ocean after all… and one can easily get lost in them."

When one was sailing through the ocean, they would usually choose to avoid storms so as to avoid delaying their journey and to prevent damage to their ships. Thus, it would have been quite easy to miss the islands. Not to mention, not everyone would have a ship that was durable enough like the Crown Prince's. As such, even if they did know the islands were hidden inside this specific storm, they would still have a very difficult time in getting through.

There was a high chance their ship might just get destroyed from the storm and sink to the bottom of the ocean!

Even if the people on it managed to survive and reached the islands, going back would not be an easy task at all.
