Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 685 - Two Conversations

The two disciples looked at each other and the senior disciple finally decided to speak.

"Fine, we shall do as you ask. We’ll make a tribulation attenuation platform for the King to safely breakthrough." The senior brother answered the king’s uncle.

"Excellent! I hope you can prepare for this as soon as possible." The King’s uncle urge.

The junior brother furrowed his eyes in doubt and looked at his senior brother. But before he could say anything, he was signaled by his senior brother to stay silent and not to do anything.

With that done, the senior brother suddenly stood up.

"We shall take our leave then and prepare for it, Senior Kou." The senior brother stated.

"Of course, please do. The suites are available for you and you can stay there if you so please." The King’s uncle, who was evidently named Kou spoke.

Having said that, the two disciples took their leave and so did Kou after a few minutes. Lin Mu observed both parties with his spirit sense and saw that Kou went to talk with the king about the meeting he just had while the two brothers went to the room that they were assigned.

Since the entire palace was a single large building, they didn’t have a separate courtyard like in many other places. Instead of that, there were large suits assigned to people within which there were more rooms.

The suite was rather luxurious and of high quality. There were several decorations in it, along with many plants. There were even miniature Hong Lin trees that had evidently been grown especially for indoor areas like this.

Overall, it gave a rather comfortable vibe despite not being as big as a courtyard. There were now two conversations going on at the same time, and Lin Mu didn’t know which party to listen to first.

But after hearing the two disciples for a few seconds, Lin Mu took a breath of relief.

"Why did you accept it, senior brother?" The Junior brother questioned.

"Stay quiet for now. There can be people listening in more ways than just one. We shall talk later outside, for now just cultivate and wait." The senior brother stated, not letting the junior protest.

The junior brother had an uneasy expression on his face, but he didn’t protest and simply accepted it for now.

Lin Mu nodded upon hearing the senior brother’s words and knew that it was actually true. There were formations that could listen to people that were located in the royal palace.

The formation was directly integrated into the entire fomentation array of the palace and thus would be hard to discover unless a formation master came by and decided to investigate it thoroughly.

Even then, it might take that master a long time to do so and they might not even be successful. For Lin Mu though, he could simply use the ring to look past the layers without a problem.

Normally for formation masters, solving a formation array was like solving a puzzle, but the puzzle was hidden behind a wall and they could not see it. In addition to that touching, any wrong part might collapse the wall and hurt, if not damage them.

All in all, it was a complex process and needed quite a lot of skill to learn and master. Lin Mu had discovered them and didn’t really care for them as they couldn’t affect him anyway when he was in Phase.

After this short conversation, the two disciples went silent and continued to calmly cultivate.

"Hmm... I’ll come to them later." Lin Mu muttered to himself and focused his attention on the King and his uncle.

The King was sitting on the throne and the entire throne room was currently empty. It was evident that the members of the royal court had been asked to give the king time to breakthrough while not being disturbed.

Nearly every cultivator knew how difficult it was to overcome a heavenly tribulation and thus they took to their duties seriously while the king was busy with his own breakthrough preparations.

Of course, the normal public did not know about this as it could be a troublesome event in the case that the King fails his tribulation and gets hurt, if not dies. Plus, it would also give the enemies of the king and the royal court information about this, letting them have a chance to plot against them.

If the news about the king being close to a breakthrough was heard, it was bound to cause waves in the entire Hong Lin kingdom. It would thus invite attention from the enemies, who would be worried about the increasing power of the king and try to kill him.

By keeping a secret, the king would be safer and perhaps even have a better chance at surviving this without the stress of people watching his every move. Plus, if he successfully broke through and stabilized his cultivation base, the announcement after that would only be that much better.

It would increase the veneration for the king that was felt by the citizens of the Hong Lin country and it would also increase the fear that these enemies felt from them. Overall it was a plan that focused more on safety and stability rather than temporary publicity.

"I have managed to convince the two disciples of sect master Hua to help in your tribulation." Kou spoke.

"You didn’t have to, uncle Kou. I know that I can accomplish this on my own as well. Plus, taking the help of others would only put us in debt with them." The King replied.

"Hahaha, you don’t need to worry about that. Those two came here to actually ask for our help, thus when they take care of this task, that debt their master owed your father will be written off.

That way, no one will be in each other’s debt and you won’t have to worry about it either." Kou spoke with a laugh.

"Hmm... if you say so, uncle Kou." The King replied in a low voice.
