Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2349  Stocking For Protecting And Heading West

The longevity granted by each Transcendent Immortal Tribulation was varied, but it was almost never lower than three thousand years and was often more than six thousand years. As for the upper limit of this, it could reach up to fifteen thousand years!

As for what caused this difference in longevity? There were many theories behind it.

The most accepted theory though, was that the more stable someone's foundation was, the better longevity they would gain from a Transcendent Immortal Tribulation. But there were other things that added to this too, such as the type of the Transcendent Immortal Tribulation one would have.

If it was a variant that was stronger than the normal ones, it would usually grant more longevity. But it also reduced the rate of survival, thus making it a less attractive choice.

Still, considering all these factors, even if one took the lowest number, the amount of longevity one would gain from a hundred Transcendent Immortal Tribulations would be around three hundred thousand years! And if they gained an average amount, it would be over seven hundred thousand years!

As for the maximum amount? Perhaps it may even exceed a million…

This was a longevity that almost made it seem like someone was truly an immortal. Something that was usually only obtained by Celestials.

And yet, this Immortal Paragon had achieved it.

"To survive a hundred Transcendent Immortal Tribulations… How long did they stay as an Immortal Paragon?" Lin Mu couldn't help but ask.

"Actually they hadn't become an Immortal Paragon until quite later. They were apparently an expert long before that and had endured tens of Transcendent Immortal Tribulations. But eventually they joined the Immortal Court and reached its helm, becoming an Immortal Paragon." Crown Prince Feng Shun answered.

"Has anyone else been able to do that?" Qiao De questioned.

"None." Crown Prince Feng Shun shook his head. "As far as I know, in the last thirty generations of the Immortal Paragons, the highest number of Transcendent Immortal Tribulations someone endured was seven.

It was the Immortal Paragon from eleven generations ago." He answered.

The number was quite less compared to the record, but it was still an impressive amount when one considered the normal. As the group ruminated over the information, their eyes kept on wandering to the Immortal Paragon ring from time to time. Now that they had obtained it, there was a lot more leeway in what they could do.

"Let's get the other materials now." Ziran reminded the second reason they had come to the offering hall.

"Of course." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded before safely storing the Immortal Paragon ring away.

He didn't dare to wear it, as he neither had the honor nor the qualifications to wear it. Lin Mu and the others quickly began looking through the item list for things that might help them resist the effects of the Withering Dao. Unfortunately for them, there weren't many things that could fully resist it if it had taken root like in the case of Lin Mu. "Hmm… We might have to go the prevention route rather than the cure route for this." Lin Mu stated, after seeing what they had available.

"These Arboreal Prominence Pills will help us, but they aren't exactly cheap." Crown Princess Shang said pointing to one of the items.

"One million and two hundred thousand credits per pill." Lin Mu looked at the cost which was decently high. "We can take a few of these as precaution." He stated.

The Arboreal Prominence Pills were a high grade wood elemental healing pills that could help expel various foul energies. While they weren't made to work specifically on the Withering Dao, they should still be good for it as long as the effects weren't as strong.

"We can also use the Bale Repelling Curtain Talismans." Daoist Chu pointed to another item. "Though this would only work for a short time." He added.

The Bale Repelling Curtain Talismans were actually a decently well known type of Talisman and were used quite widely. They had the ability to resist almost all types of baleful energies, but this was a temporary effect.

The stronger the baleful energy was, the faster the barrier would degrade. In some cases, even a single impact of the baleful energy might be enough to break the barrier.

"Okay these are a lot more affordable." Lin Mu said as he saw the cost. "One million for a stack of hundred is not bad."

"One million is still high, if we consider how fast we might be going through them." Qiao De said before looking at Daoist Chu. "Can you make these?" he asked.

"No." Daoist Chu shook his head. "I've never learned how to make these, and the materials needed to make them also need specialized processing. Even if we can get some of the raw materials here, I do not have the refinement skill needed to process them into the ink and paper." He explained.

Drawing the talisman was just half the work that a Formation master needed to do, as they were still the issue of being able to process and refine the needed material. After all, talismans were exhaustible and brought about the effect of a full sized formation in a small scale.

This wasn't done so without a cost, which was the materials.

"How about Daoist Mu Lin?" Qiao De asked next.

"I can't either." Lin Mu shook his head. "I don't know the method or know how to process the materials either." He stated.

~Sigh~

"Seems like we'll simply have to buy them for now." Daoist Chu said as along with the others purchased a couple hundred talismans each.

Lin Mu and Lady Kang though purchased over a hundred sets of them, spending over ten million on it.

They had the points for it so they didn't mind, while the others still needed to accumulate points. Lin Mu had a goal too, but he knew it was not a place he should skimp out on.

Besides, from what he had seen so far, the avenues of obtaining the credits seemed to be abundant.

With that done, everyone checked if there were any other things that might help and bought a few miscellaneous items. "Alright, should we head off?" Lin Mu asked, looking at everyone. "Let's go. We best obtain as many credits as we can while also keeping a look out for anything unusual." Lady Kang nodded her head.

~SHUA~

The group quickly left the Offering hall and mounted Little Shrubby.

~WHOOSH~

The beast turned into a red blur and headed to the west.

Their next destination was where Crown Prince Feng Shun had suspected there to be a Chimera Plant hiding. There was also a large Death Qi sea there covering the mountain range, thus there was always a chance for there to be more swarms of Chimeric Beasts too.

Along the way, Daoist Chu kept the Chimera Radar active and pointed out any Chimeric beasts that were in their path. After all, they didn't wish to miss any credits and killed all that was in their way, whether they just be a first Tribulation Stage Chimeric Beast or higher. This time everyone hunted turn by turn, steadily gaining points. Though more often than not they encountered groups of Chimeric beasts that weren't big enough to be called swarms. These usually had lower than a hundred Chimeric Beasts, but granted enough credits to causes everyone's number to jump by several thousand at once.

While they hunted all this though, Lin Mu couldn't help but think of how things were going. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

More specifically the fact that they seemed to see no end in sight for this trial.

'The goal was to survive, but how long are we supposed to do that?' Lin Mu wondered.

He didn't think that the way was to kill all the Chimeric Beasts, as that seemed impossible considering the fact that they kept on regenerating. And now that the Chimera Plants were added to the mix, that number had increased even more.

As such, the only factor that seemed to stay in his mind was time itself.

'We've already been here for almost two years now… how long would the period for a survival trial like this would be? Five years, ten years or more?' Lin Mu couldn't help but question.

This amount of time was quite small for everyone present, as they all had thousands of years of longevity, but when they were in a dangerous place like this, things could become drastically bad at any given moment.

'Plus there are the strangers who've managed to infiltrate as well… If Yao Changying is involved in this, she has definitely come here for something specific.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

With all the concerning and downright dangerous things that Yao Changying had done, it was clear that there was some sinister goal behind it that they were unable to perceive. The Spatial Plane definitely had some major part in it that they had to figure out soon.
