Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 706 - Directly Entering The Palace

While Lin Mu had seen some special requirements that cultivation sects had on their disciples in the memoirs of the Lost immortal, they were mostly to do with their cultivation talent.

There were none that Lin Mu had come across that wanted for their disciples to stay cooped up in the sect till they reached a specific cultivation base. He wondered what other condition they could put on them without it becoming problematic.

"I see, senior. I’ll keep that in mind for future reference... if it ever comes to use." Lin Mu said before continuing ahead.

He looked at Hua Wu and spoke, "how long does this festival last?"

"The Autumn festival lasts for about a week. This is the last week of winter and seeing as it has started today, it will last for six more days till the beginning of the next month." Hua Wu answered.

"That’s long enough for a festival. Though since there aren’t really proper winters and autumn here in the south central area of the continent, I guess it isn’t really as restricted by climate." Lin Mu replied.

He remembered the harsh winters of the north and how the people in the Northern Town had to struggle with food all the time. The winters would lay several feet thick layer of snow on the doorsteps of people sometimes.

There were even a few years when the snow had been two meters deep, which was enough to basically bury most of the houses. That was said to be one of the worst winters in the past few centuries and had happened about two hundred years ago.

A lot of people had died at that time, though the help was also sent from the Shuang Qian kingdom’s capital at that time. But the event was still terrifying enough for many generations of people to know it by heart.

When Lin Mu was just five years old, his mother had told him about the dangers of winter and how to prepare for it. He knew what things needed to be done absolutely and which things could be kept off for later.

~Sigh~

’The past is in the past... the present is important and the future is far...’ Lin Mu said to himself in his mind.

The three men weaved through the crowds of people as they observed the various new goods that were being sold along with new food items that Lin Mu had not seen before.

"Oh? They added even more new things for me to buy," Lin Mu said with surprise.

Hua San and Hua Wu ignored the words of Lin Mu as they thought that he was just talking about something general. If they knew Lin Mu was talking about food, they would definitely be astounded.

It took them almost an hour to reach the outermost wall of the central district. They were stopped by the guards there, but managed to enter quickly just by showing their identity as a cultivator.

For the second ring, the two disciples showed the new entry pass that was given by the king’s uncle to them and entered as well. They had originally thought that they might need to let Lin Mu wait while they went and talked with the king, but they didn’t have to.

The guards easily allowed the two disciples in along with Lin Mu, as well. This was mostly because of the specification on the entry pass. It stated that it allowed entry to Nascent soul realm cultivators but not how many nascent soul realm cultivators.

And so, when the guard looked at it, while they were surprised, they still let Lin Mu enter with the two men. Of course, this was not a free method for a ground of Nascent soul realms cultivators to enter since the guards would probably become suspicious when more than the entire city’s number of Nascent soul realm cultivators appear at the doorstep.

The other two gates were also crossed with the same method and they got the final entry to the place. Of course to Lin Mu, this was a rather long and winded method, but due to the official nature of this visit, he had to keep up with the etiquette.

Otherwise, he would have just entered using phase from the ground. The formation array around the palace was as good as paper to him and he could freely enter it without being detected now.

Even in the palace, the guards seem to recognize the two of them and let them enter. Though they did stare at Lin Mu for a tad bit longer than normal when they saw him. But this time Lin Mu had his cultivation revealed slightly.

While they were unable to tell what stage he was at, they could very well tell that he was at the Nascent Soul realm just like the others. Just from this, they knew he was not anyone common.

Normally they should have become concerned with the appearance of an unknown Nascent Soul realm cultivator inside the royal place since it could be a threat to the life of the king. They weren’t as much because of the other two.

They had gotten specific instructions that those two were honorable guests of the king and were not to be offended in any way. And since Lin Mu was accompanying them, they expected that prohibiting Lin Mu might offend the other two, which might end up causing them problems.

They could only hope that Lin Mu was not here to cause trouble. Though they did escort them to the courtroom of the royal palace. This was to both keep an eye on Lin Mu’s behavior and also to serve as cannon fodder while the King got the time to react if Lin Mu turned out to be an enemy.

All of these were general tactics that they had learned over the years and it had served handy quite a few times till now.. But at the doors of the courtroom, Lin Mu had to halt.
