Chapter 1259 The Empires And Kingdoms Of Rust Sky World
Learning about the myth of the Sea of Muxuan was enlightening to Lin Mu. He couldn’t help but wonder just how strong that beast might have been for it to be able to do something like this.But Huyun Chuan had not finished speaking yet.
”The greatest danger is said to be none other than this beast. As far as I know, and the legends state, the great beast was never actually killed. And neither were there any signs of it dying nor leaving the world.” Huyun Chuan stated.
”So you mean to say it is still residing in the Sea of Muxuan?” Lin Mu narrowed his eyes.
”There is a chance… it might be small but there is indeed a chance.” Huyun Chuan replied.
But Lin Mu didn’t find it to be accurate.
”How long did you say all this happened?” Lin Mu asked again.
”Its supposedly ancient times.” Huyun Chuan replied.
”How about a hundred thousand years?” Lin Mu suggested.
”A hundred thousand? No, that is too short. It should be at least ten million years ago.” Huyun Chuan spoke.
Lin Mu furrowed his brows at hearing this. He wanted to see if the history of the Haima tribe somehow correlated with this, but now he knew that the Rust Sky world had a history that was far too old.
’Even the Xiaofan world hasn’t existed for longer than two hundred thousand years, as far as Senior Xukong estimated.’ Lin Mu recalled. ‘And even among those two hundred thousand years, humans only came into existence around the middle of that.’
This was all something Lin Mu had asked the alliance patriarchs about this before and even they didn’t have much information beyond the appearance of the four immortals. Thus Lin Mu asked Xukong since he might have more experience in estimating it.
’Just the sheer amount of time difference between the two worlds is massive. That great beast should have died by now, even if it was in the immortal realm. Though… if it managed to reach the realm above that, it could have potentially lived longer.’ Lin Mu pondered in his mind.
There was quite a lack of information, and with Xukong being unavailable, Lin Mu could only depend on himself to analyze this.
”Hmm… since that Great Beast has not appeared for such a long time, I doubt it is even in this world.” Lin Mu stated. “After all, for it to live this long, it should have broken through to a higher realm. And I do not think any cultivator, whether man or beast, would be able to stay in an immortal world if they reached that.” He explained.
”So you think it’s not here?” Huyun Chuan couldn’t help but feel intrigued too.
While he had a lot of information due to the virtue of being from a noble clan and having access to it, he still didn’t have information about higher realms. Even Lin Mu didn’t have that, but he did know they exist, as well as the limitations of the Immortal realm.
A cultivator who had entered the Immortal realm would be able to live for at least 12,000 years as long as he overcame all the tribulations that one had to face. There were seven Immortal tribulations each at a 1000 year gap.
Only if one survived would they live on. Being in the Immortal realm didn’t make one Invincible after all, it only allowed them to continue living. But the heavens wouldn’t allow that as per its laws and send the heavenly tribulations to test and kill the cultivators.
There were ways one could survive even after failing the tribulation, of course. But doing that meant that they would only get an extra 1000 years. And the tribulation that came at the end of those 1000 years would be a lot stronger than before.
If by some chance they used the method to avoid death once more, the next tribulation would become exponentially stronger. The heavens would not take tricks like these as a joke and punish others equally.
Hence Lin Mu was sure, no beast or human would be able to live in the Rust Sky world for that long.
’At least we know there is one less danger.’ Lin Mu took note.
He looked at Huyun Chuan and asked him to continue. The man had a lot of things to say and continued to do so for an entire day an night. As an Immortal ascension realm cultivator, even if his cultivation base was restrained, he wouldn’t die from this.
In fact, he would be able to work for an entire month without a break and would still be fine. Not to mention, Lin Mu had healed his injuries already.
Huyun Chuan explained about the various kingdoms that were surrounding the Sea of Muxuan, as well as their powers. He even knew about the other continents that were beyond the ocean at the borders of the kingdoms.
In total, the Rust Sky world had four continents. The continent that Lin Mu was on right now was the second largest and was called as the Eight Kingdom alliance continent. East off this continent was the largest continent of the Rust Sky world and was ruled by the Dao Wind Empire.
It was simply named after the empire and was called Dao Wind continent. Then east of the Dao Wind continent there was the Huiqing Continent ruled by the Huiqing empire. The finally, west of the Eight Kingdom alliance continent, was the smallest continent, the Holy Topaz continent.
Huyun Chuan had never been out of the Eight Kingdom alliance but knew enough about the powers of the other continents too. Roughly, the continents were all the same in strength.
But the Holy Topaz Continent ran by the Holy Topaz dynasty was the strongest due to the fact that they had existed the longest. Having understood the various political powers of the worlds, Lin Mu hoped that he wouldn’t have to face the same thing he had in the Xiaofan world.
’Leading an entire alliance is too hard… and time consuming.’
