Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 2489 A Soul Container

Chapter 2489  A Soul Container

Xiao Yin's acquisition of the Spine wasn't something Lin Mu had expected when he first came here, but it was certainly a pleasant surprise now.

While its actions were quite concerning at first, Lin Mu wondered if there was more to it.

"What else is it saying? Why did it attack us?" Lin Mu decided to ask.

Xiao Yin communicated with the Punis.h.i.+ng Demon Spine Lash and relayed it to Lin Mu.

"It says that it was the command that was last given to it. It was to guard the Crystal and wait for its master to come." Xiao Yin spoke. "Is that why it stopped after seeing you?" Lin Mu wondered.

"Yes, it finds me compatible with it and that I can nurture it so that it can recover its full potential." Xiao Yin replied. "I also feel like I can control the power within it." She added.

"Hmm… It does use Baleful Energy, which are of the Yin Attribute." Lin Mu muttered. While both Xiao Yang and Xiao Yin were mostly resistant to Baleful Energy, only Xiao Yin could actually consume and convert it to pure Yin. As such, it made sense that she was suited to using it.

Plus, considering her high affinity to the Yin Element, perhaps there won't be many others that might find the Punis.h.i.+ng Demon Spine Lash compatible with them.

"Well, you have your storage gem, so you can keep it in there." Lin Mu reckoned things had sorted themselves out.

"Yes!" Xiao Yin was now excited.

She had been wondering what kind of weapon she'll be able to get but it wasn't like Lin Mu could just as for a Peak Grade Immortal Weapon for her. Especially one that was compatible with her.

But fate seemed to be in her favor and now she had one for herself. ~SHUA~

She quickly stored the Punis.h.i.+ng Demon Spine Lash away and found no issues with it.

"Is it fine to keep that Spine, Daoist Lin Mu?" Monk Hushu asked with apprehension.

"Yes, it is actually a Peak Grade Immortal Weapon." Lin Mu said before explaining the situation to them.

After all, while they had seen it all, the communication between Xiao Yin, Lin Mu and Xukong was all through their links and wasn't actually verbal.

And once they heard it all, they couldn't help but be surprised.

"To think we'd find a Peak Grade Immortal Weapon here…" Crown Prince Feng Shun muttered. "If it had fallen in Yao Changying's hand, it would certainly be problematic." He added.

"Isn't she the daughter of the Sect leader? Won't she already have something like it?" Daoist Chu asked.

"While the Flouris.h.i.+ng Flower Sword Sect does have Peak Grade Immortal Weapons, both of them are swords with existing owners. Namely the Patriarch and the Grand Elder, so Yao Changying hasn't been able to acquire one yet," Crown Princess Shang answered.

"And even if she somehow gets one through her connections now, it isn't necessary that it would be compatible with her." Daoist Chu spoke.

"Perhaps the Demon Punching Spine Lash is what she has actually been looking for." Ziran guessed. "It can use Baleful Energy, which would complement Yao Changying now." He added.

"But would she be willing to switch to a Whip Type weapon instead of a Sword?" Monk Hushu wondered.

"Even if she can't use it, there could be others who can use it among her people. Having a Peak Grade Immortal Weapon is a trump card anyway. She might not be able to use it to its full potential now, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't learn it.

And even without having proficiency with it, a Peak Grade Immortal Weapon can work on its own anyways." Lin Mu stated.

"That's right." Crown Prince Feng Shun agreed. "We just stopped her from growing her strength another fold." "Looks like our mission was a success, then." Ziran chuckled. "Though that crystal is still something we need to check. The spine was protecting it after all." He reminded.

"Indeed." Lin Mu nodded his head and asked Xukong again.

"Give me a while. The polyhedral crystal is quite resistant to probing. If I use too much power it might just break." Xukong replied, making Lin Mu a bit surprised.

'Didn't expect it to be this complex,' Lin Mu thought to himself.

With that done, the group decided to do one last sweep of the cave to ensure they didn't miss anything and left. "Crown Prince, is everything fine?" Commander Dui, who had set up a security perimeter on the surface, asked. "We heard a lot of explosions and the ground shook." "Things are fine now." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "The mission is a success." He said with a smile.

"Thank Heavens." Commander Dui took a breath of relief too. "Should I order them to mobilize?" he asked.

"Do it. We'll be heading straight back to the Capital City. We've acquired something that needs a properly a.n.a.lysis by the Formation Grand masters and Immortal Tool refiners. We'll also need the Temple's a.s.sistance for this," Crown Prince Feng Shun ordered.

"Yes!" Commander Dui replied before quickly acting out the orders.

In just fifteen minutes, the s.h.i.+p was back in the sky and was heading back to the Capital City.

~WHOOSH~

The winds blew over Lin Mu's face as his hair fluttered in it.

He was sitting cross legged in the crow's nest at the highest point in the s.h.i.+p and was mediating. It was private and gave him quite a good view of the scene from all angles, after all.

Lin Mu checked his body throughly for any signs of damage and remnant Baleful energy to be sure that it was all cleared out. And while he was doing this, Xukong finally spoke again.

"I think I know what the Polyhedral Crystal is now." Xukong stated. "It's a Soul Container." He revealed.

"A Soul Container?" Lin Mu woke up from his meditation right away.

"Yes… That Indigo wisp inside it is most likely a soul." Xukong confirmed.
