Chapter 604 - Remnant Of The Ocean World
Lin Mu observed the world… or rather remnants of a world that he had seen in the parallel world before.
"That does seem like it… but that is not a Minor plane… that is definitely an entire world." Xukong spoke.
"But how is it in the lesser void, then? Isn't a proper world supposed to be in the great void?" Lin Mu questioned.
"This is probably just a fragment of it that entered the lesser void upon its collapse." Xukong replied.
Lin Mu hummed in response and kept on observing. He could see several large chunks of rocks that were bigger than entire mountain ranges floating in the lesser void. Along with that, there were some remains of plants and animals there, too.
These remains were completely deteriorated by the many forces they had to go through during the collapse and were barely holding on now.
"Wait! What's that?" Lin Mu spotted something else coming up from behind the remnant of the world.
"Ice?" Lin Mu recognized.
Floating behind the large rock was what could basically be called as an iceberg. It was about half the size of the rock and was partially hidden by the remnant of the world, which is why Lin Mu did not spot it the first time.
"Why would there be ice here? And that too such a large amount of it?" Lin Mu replied.
Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and tried to make out the finer details on the rock and the iceberg. But it was getting harder by the second, as they were getting farther and farther from it.
While Lin Mu was unable to identify anything on the rock, he did spot something on the large iceberg. It was a grayish black dot embedded into the iceberg. It even seemed familiar to Lin Mu.
"Heavy Depths Iron ore?" Lin Mu recognized.
"That's it!" Xukong suddenly exclaimed.
"You know something, senior?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Remember, I told you about the origin of Heavy Depths Iron ore?" Xukong asked.
"Yes, I remember clearly. It is formed at the bottom of oceans and the bigger the ocean the bigger the size of the Heavy Depths Iron Ore will be." Lin Mu replied.
"Exactly! That large rock you see there and the iceberg; that is the remnant of the Ocean World I hypothesized was near your world." Xukong revealed.
Lin Mu was surprised at first upon hearing this, but then he felt curious about it.
"There should have been a lot of treasure and resource in the world right, senior?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Yes, there should be. Even a collapsed world's remnant should have some." Xukong replied.
~Sigh~
"It would have been good if we were able to get to the remnant and obtain them." Lin Mu said with a sigh.
"Don't worry. Now that we have the confirmation that the ocean world really did exist besides your world and that the Heavy Depths Iron ore was not just something random lost in the lesser void, we will find a way to get to the main remnant of the Ocean World." Xukong said with assurance.
Lin Mu nodded his head and accepted it for now. He knew it would be no use worrying about something that was extremely far from him, and it was better to look at the present instead. But unknown to him, Xukong was far more excited than him.
'If he can really manage to get there, he might actually be able to find that…' Xukong thought to himself.
~Rumble~
Lin Mu suddenly felt his body shake as the teleportation channel around them shook as well. It was like a glass tube that linked two places, and currently, it looked like something was hammering on its sides.
"What's happening?" Lin Mu wondered.
He looked at Jing Luo and Little Shrubby and found them to be shaking as well. While they could not show any expressions on their faces due to being frozen like statues, Lin Mu could still feel the emotions coming from Little Shrubby.
Jing Luo and Little Shrubby were feeling vibrations that were stronger than him currently. The only difference was that it was hard to tell as they were frozen like statues. Lin Mu knew that this was the spatial turbulence and a normal part of the lesser void.
But this was also something that could easily turn deadly and claim their lives. Lin Mu needed to be sure that the integrity of the teleportation channel was decent or they may not reach their destination in one piece.
~Crackle~
Lin Mu felt a strange fluctuation from behind him and looked back.
"THE CHANNEL HAS ALREADY STARTED TO COLLAPSE?" Lin Mu said out loud.
Thankfully, his voice couldn't really be heard by the other two right now, or they would have probably become terrified and anxious. Which was something that would not have helped them in this situation anyway.
Lin Mu could see that the far ends of the teleportation channel were breaking apart and that had resulted in a domino effect. It had started from the minor plane and was now rapidly approaching them.
"It will be fine, you are already quite far from it." Xukong assured.
Lin Mu couldn't help but still feel a bit anxious about it, but nodded his head before turning to look at the front. The faint outline that he had seen back in the minor plane was now fully visible to him.
"Is that the sacred grounds?" Lin Mu said.
He could see what looked like a flat ground that was floating in the lesser void. It was covered with a translucent dome which was probably the Sacred ground's spatial borders. The teleportation channel was taking them to the very edge of the sacred ground, from what Lin Wu could see.
"Is that where we will be landing?" Lin Mu wondered.
~Zoom~
Lin Mu suddenly felt his speed increase, as if an additional force was acting on him. This force was pulling him toward the sacred grounds now. With the addition of it, Lin Mu, Jing Luo, and Little Shrubby reached the border of the sacred grounds in an instant.
