Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2173  Door Gods And Rift

The next to work on the cage were Elder Hu and Min Ju.

Both of them had the same skill that they wished to use on the cage and it was something that worked better when two people cast it.

"Kang Secret Arts…" the two chanted in unison while Lin Mu listed on.

'This must be a signature technique of the Kang Clan.' He guessed listening to the skill.

He watched as Elder Hu and Min Ju made several hand gestures. First they made a circle in the air with their left hand and then tapped in the middle with their right.

Then extending to the right from the center, they extended a line which started to glow. The circle glowed too before they chanted again. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Nineteenth Technique: Guardian Bound Ward!" They said while slamming the circles into the cage.

~HONG~

The circle imprinted onto the cage, with one line extended from its center. Both of the lines came from the right, but with the circles being in an opposite position, the lines curved along the side of the cage and joined with the other circle.

With this, a loop now connected the two circles.

~HUALA~

Mystical symbols appeared on the circles before they rose to form two figures. Both of these were humanoid figures, but looked a bit strange. They had solemn expression on their faces, but their eyes seem to be exuding a sharp fury.

They wore a coronet on their head, that tired their hair, while an armor covered their body. The armor looked to be rather ancient, with several scuffs and marks on them, as if they had gone trough hundreds of battles.

One of the figures held a lantern in its right hand, while a long baton in the other. The second figure held a crescent staff in his left, and a bundle of rope in the right.

The illusory figures looked to be different than what Lin Mu had ever seen before in a skill, but he was reminded of one instance where something similar had been witnessed.

'This is like the door god figure that Jing Luo manifested all those years ago in the fragmented plane.' Lin Mu recalled.

But the details of the the door god Jing Luo summoned was a lot different compared to the two Elder Hu and Min Ju had summoned. Not to mention, the difference in power was simply massive. The skill that Jing Luo had used was when he was a Nascent Soul realm. Whereas, Elder Hu and Min Ju were both immortals! The powers could not be compared and the profundity was also quite deeper.

~SHUA~

The two door gods turned translucent before forming a motif on the sides of the cage.

"Were those the door gods of the Kang Clan?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked feeling intrigued. "I never thought I'd get to see them today." Qiao De spoke in surprise as well.

Lin Mu listened to them, realizing that these door gods were more famous than he had thought.

"They are, yes." Lady Kang nodded. "They are the Door Gods that serve the Kang clan and their power can be utilized by high ranking members and servants of the clan." She explained.

"No wonder… So their power comes from an actual being." Lin Mu was surprised. "Are they in the form of an Immortal tool?" he couldn't help but ask.

"These door gods are a projection of the real door god statues at the Kang Clan. Both of them are Peak Grade Immortal tools and have their own spirits. They've been nurtured by the Kang Clan long enough that they are now an integral part of our skills." Lady Kang answered.

"To think they could manifest their power all the way here." Monk Hushu was impressed. "They must've been given offerings and prayed for at least a hundred thousand years to reach this level. If it were a Buddhist treasure, it would've already obtained the aura of an Arhat." He compared.

This gave Lin Mu a little insight into the deep background of the Kang Clan, as well as their capabilities. 'Two peak grade immortal tools is already a great fortune, and if they've been nurtured for all this time they are definitely a lot stronger than normal peak grade immortal tools.' Lin Mu reckoned. 'To project their power this far through the space… And there are no Spatial Fluctuations either so there is no spatial influence in this. This is a direct projection for sure.' He analyzed.

It was not easy to project one's power this far at all. Even if it were a Transcendent Immortal, their power would stop after crossing a few worlds if they tried to project it. If they wished to use their power a long distance away, they would have to imbue it into something instead of projecting it.

Projecting would also lead to a loss of power greatly, and even if the location was somewhere within its range the power might be reduced to less than a percent.

One would need a highly specialized tool to do so, and it would also need a loci to work.

This made Lin Mu look at the two who had used the skill with intrigue. A thought appeared to him and he activated his Spatial Perception.

~SHUA~

As soon as he did, he could see what he had missed earlier.

Hidden to everyone's eyes, two tiny threads were attached to them. The threads came out of their bodies and connected to the hidden forms of the door gods.

'I don't think they are aware of that either.' Lin Mu thought. 'Instead of using a talisman as a stored medium, this skill actually imbues the projection of a door god directly into the body of a person… They even added this into their clan's signature skills…' he couldn't help but feel impressed.

Doing something like this was not easy, and they probably had to withstand the full power of the Door God statues to obtain this skill.

This made Lin Mu wonder if this was a singular use skill.

'They probably need to recharge at the statues to use it again.' Lin Mu thought, realizing how precious it was to use such a skill.

It was something they might only be able to utilize one and they had chosen to use it here, as they needed to ensure the absolute safety of their lady.

"We're done." Elder Hu spoke, having finished his work.

"I'll be the next one then." Lin Mu said, looking at the cage and then at a specific location. "You all should move into the cage now, the rift won't be a forgiving one." He warned.

"Very well." Lady Kang and the rest replied before moving into the cage.

Qiao De, Ziran and Crown Princess Shang stood at the very back as they had little to nothing to do after this. Daoist Chu, Crown Prince Feng Shun and Monk Hushu stood in the middle, as they would be controlling the arrays and skills that they would be casting at the end.

Elder Hu and Min Ju stood after this, their positions in line with the position of the Door gods on the outside earlier.

Then the one to stand at the front was Lady Kang, as she would be the one to guide them. Lin Mu would be the last one to enter, as he needed to be the one to open the rift.

Everyone watched with curious eyes, wanting to see just how Lin Mu would be opening a rift. It wasn't everyday they got to see a Spatial Master at work, and the few times they had seen it before, they had found it to be a learning experience.

Spatial Skills were very complex and even learning a little bit about them could allow one to have an advantage. Not only would this advantage help in going against other Spatial Masters, it would even allow them to improve their own skills by adding the intricacies of the skill to it.

But when they finally saw Lin Mu do it, they were left surprise.

Lin Mu extended his right hand towards the barrier of the area and channeled his Immortal Qi into the ring.

"Open!" One of the ring's innate skills was activated, as a tiny dot appeared in the barrier. ~SHUA~

This dot then expanded in the blink of an eye and turned into a fifty meter wide rift!

"No chants? No runes? No gestures? Not even the movement of Immortal Qi…" The group was left confused. "Just like that?!?" Lin Mu didn't notice their reactions though as he was focused on checking whether the rift was stable or not. 'Looks good enough. Though the death aura is already approaching it.' Lin Mu noticed with his Spatial Perception. "We now have to be very quick!" Lin Mu said out loud before jumping into the cage.

"Time for us, Monk Hushu." Crown Prince Feng Shun finally made his move.
