The revelation of Gu Yao’s body as well as the Immortal Qi of the skeleton was too much for everyone.
Immortal Qi was something that only immortals could use and would not exist in a low leveled world like the Xiaofan world. After all, it was directly against the natural laws of the world and if Immortal Qi appeared here, it would directly pull in all the ambient spirit Qi towards it.
While this might be fine, if there was a small amount of Immortal QI, it would be like that for long. If enough time was given to it, the Immortal Qi would absorb more spirit Qi and increase in quantity, thereby absorbing even more spirit Qi.
Then there would come a time where there would be simply no spirit Qi left in the world.
This was the same as the growth of the world being halted directly!
It was unacceptable! And thus against the natural laws!
If a world’s natural laws were to change to accommodate Immortal Qi, the world would have to steadily grow step by step. Only by doing this would it reach a point of allowing the co-existence of Spirit Qi and Immortal Qi.
But all this meant that the Skeleton in front of them was simply an anomaly.
~WOONG~
The Invader didn’t feel pleased by the appearance and attack of the Skeleton and swung a tentacle at it. The tentacle moved with the power to shatter mountains and struck the Skeleton.
~BANG~
The skeleton blocked it with its left hand but was still pushed back several steps.
”My master will not let you off, whatever you are.” Gu Yao said as he retreated a little.
The red energy he had spread around the area started to gather back toward him and clung to his fragmented body. It slowly started to repair and the ‘flesh’ regrew.
While the Skeleton and the Invader battled, Lin Mu was analyzing the situation.
”What even is that, Senior? How can a skeleton like that move? And why does it have Immortal Qi?” Lin Mu questioned nonstop.
”There are many ways to make a skeleton of course, a lot more than I can list right now. But looking at this particular skeleton and the level of sentience it has, it seems like a puppet.” Xukong answered.
”A puppet?” Lin Mu furrowed his brows. “Like those of the Mu clan?” he asked.
”It is similar to that in concept, but a lot more power. Considering the fact that it is using Immortal Qi to attack, it was made from the body of an Immortal Realm cultivator. And if I add the other things such as the coffin and the talisman on its head, I am sure that it is an Immortal Puppet.” Xukong explained.
”How can it exist in the Xiaofan world? Did it come from a higher world too? But then I don’t feel the same rejection from the world’s will.” Lin Mu said in confusion.
”There can only be one reason for that… That skeleton, or whoever it belonged to, used to be a resident of this world and was born in it.” Xukong replied.
The only time a world would not fully reject an Immortal expert was if they originally belonged to the world and had left it after their ascension. They could technically return to their home worlds, but only temporarily.
”Seems like there were many restrictive seals added to the skeleton puppet to allow it to exist in Xiaofan world without it being rejected.” Xukong added.
”I see…” Lin Mu said as a few ideas appeared in his mind.
With the information that Xukong provided, he could come up with a few scenarios of his own as to why the Skeleton puppet appeared now.
”I RECOGNIZE THAT!” just as Lin Mu was thinking to himself, someone exclaimed.
Looking at the source, Lin Mu found it to be the Sky Precepts Ancestor.
”What? What did you recognize?” Jing Wei and the others inquired.
”The robes that the skeleton is wearing. Do you all recall the story of of the four immortals?” The Sky Precepts Ancestor replied.
And when he said this, Jing Wei had an expression of realization.
”How can this be… didn’t they all leave the world?” Jing Wei said in confusion.
”Only three of them did. One did something else, remember? The immortal from the Western continent.” The Sky precepts Ancestor spoke. “We never got to know for sure what happened to him. We simply know that he disappeared. We just assumed that he must have left like the others.” He added.
When Lin Mu heard this, he correlated it with Xukong’s words and felt it all linking up.
”Could it be… the Immortal of the former Western continent turned himself into a puppet?” Lin Mu found it absurd. “But wouldn’t it mean he killed himself to do this? Why would an immortal do that?”
”Attachments can force oneself to do a lot of things that are often against logic and hard to comprehend. We don’t know what kind of a state he was in, so there is no way to confirm it all. Perhaps it was even possible that he was close to death and did this to preserve himself in a manner. And even protect his home world.” Xukong suggested.
Lin Mu thought it over, and it did seem somewhat reasonable to him. But even then it was a little confusing over all.
~BANG~
Everyone’s focus was pulled back to the battle as the dust settled. The Skeleton and the Invader were in a strange stalemate now. A strange barrier surrounded the invader and the attacks of the Skeleton were being blocked by it.
”Should we assist it somehow?” Lin Mu asked.
But just as he said that, the skeleton looked towards him.
”Threat! To be eliminated!” The skeleton spoke all of a sudden and pointed at Lin Mu.
~WOONG~
Immortal Qi gathered on its forefinger and the same attack as before was readied.
”SHIT!” Lin Mu cursed. “Why’s it targeting me? I’m of this world.”
”It might be because of your abilities. They don’t exactly fit the level of this world. The Skeleton puppet probably considered them as a threat to this world, which it is supposed to protect as well and it attacking you now.” Xukong said, his tone a little worried as well.
~BOOM~
The ball of energy exploded on the Skeleton’s finger and shot toward Lin Mu.
”FADE!” Lin Mu directly used Fade to enter the parallel world.
Even he wasn’t confidence to tank the attack made with Immortal Qi. Lin Mu’s body might be strong enough to go against an Immortal Ascension realm cultivator, but it certainly wasn’t strong enough to go against an Immoral realm expert.
Even if the expert was dead and was a mere puppet, it could still use Immortal Qi, which Lin Mu’s body and skills won’t block. The only way he could survive was to evade it entirely.
~KABOOM~
The beam of energy struck the place Lin Mu was in moments ago and created a twenty meter deep crater.
Lin Mu returned some distance away and took a breath of shock.
”You can’t do this on your own. Not anymore.” Xukong spoke. “You need to do that now… Use the World Essence Crystal!”
