Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2259  Death Qi Engulfs All

The group continued to watch as the Death Qi washed over the entire base. The mountain was covered in it, leaving only the peak visible through the black curtain.

And a few minutes later, even the peak could not be seen as the Death Qi rose up and filled the skies completely. Utter darkness descended upon the area, as if the very apocalypse had arrived.

Considering the fact that it was Death Qi filling the area, it may as well be an apocalypse for all that lived here.

The chimeric beasts died rapidly, and the devastation continued to spread more and more. The land was further corrupted as the fissures spread, leaving 'open wounds' upon the spatial plane.

One couldn't even see how deep the fissures went, as their depths were hidden in the black Death Qi too.

"This is bad…" Qiao De spoke. "With so much Death Qi, will we even be able to go out?" he wondered.

This thought was echoed by the others too as they wondered the same. They didn't know why such a massive amount of Death Qi had suddenly risen out of the ground and neither did they know how much of the Spatial plane had been affected by it.

"Daoist Mu Lin, can you check on the map?" Ziran asked.

Lin Mu took out the jade slip and attempted to do exactly that, but the map showed no change.

Furrowing his brows, Lin Mu shook his head.

"The interference from the Death Qi will not allow the map to be updated." Lin Mu denied. "I think we'll just have to wait and watch." He added.

"Do you think the entire plane is affected by it?" Ziran inquired. "The scale of it seems to be quite immense." "It might be… but I doubt the arrays of the Spatial Plane would do something like that. If this has happened, it should probably be in response to the strange dark energy that was released from that rock," Lin Mu answered after thinking for a bit. "What was that anyway?" Daoist Chu wondered. "I've never seen or felt anything like that before." "Hard to say." Lin Mu replied. "But I did feel Dao Traces of some kind within that rock… deep within it." He revealed.

"Dao Traces!?" Crown Prince Feng Shun and the others were surprised.

"There can't be Dao Traces in just any normal rock. Especially with that dark energy that was contained within it too. There must be more to it," Lady Kang replied. "Most of the objects that can contain Dao Traces are rather special after all." She said with her knowledge of such objects.

The Great Kang Auction house had sold a plethora of such objects and they were quite valuable and in demand too. As such, there was no way Lady Kang would be unaware of them.

"Yeah, such objects are usually Dao Essence crystals or rare Dao Treasures born naturally through the heaven's favor." Monk Hushu stated.

"Though considering the fact that it was inside a Null Iron ore chunk… it might not be out of the realm of possibility." Crown Princess Shang added.

Hearing this, a thought appeared to Daoist Chu.

"Lady Kang since you've likely to have seen most of such treasures… have there been any records of a Dao Essence Crystals or a Dao Treasure being found inside Null Iron ore?" Daoist Chu questioned. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Hearing this, Lady Kang furrowed her brows, unable to answer it from the top of her head.

"My Lady, it might be in the sales records for the last millennium." Min Ju reminded her. "Let me check then." Lady Kang replied before taking out a very special object.

~SHUA~

It was a large register that was over a meter in size. It was about eight inches thick and looked massive. Upon opening it, a large formation screen could be seen appearing above it.

It wasn't hard to tell that this was also a variant of an Information storage tool similar to a jade slip. Not to mention, its quality was very high, allowing everyone to know that it was at least a high grade immortal tool.

But when Lin Mu observed the formations on it, he found them to be a bit more different than expected.

"Why are there… relay and signaling arrays on this?" Lin Mu questioned, seeing the register.

"This is my personal register of all the sales of the Kang Clan and its associates. It can automatically update all the information about any sale that happens within the Kang Clan as long as the register is within the range of our information pavilions." Lady Kang answered.

Hearing that, Qiao De and Crown Prince Feng Shun were particularly impressed.

"A mass updating information tool… I've only heard about them before." Qiao De muttered. "Our Black Candle pavillion's Owner and some of the higher ups also have something liker his. But I doubt they can be updated beyond a world's range." He stated.

"Even the Hall masters in the Immortal Court would not have something like this." Crown Prince Feng Shun said. "Perhaps only the Department Heads would have something on this level." He added.

Lin Mu had not expected that a tool like this would be rare as this. It also showed the standing and depths of the Kang Clan's pockets to be able to have something like this.

After all, it was not a matter of just owning a tool, one also needed the right infrastructure for a tool like this to work. The cost of creating and maintaining an infrastructure like that would be unimaginable, as it would have to be spread across multiple worlds.

The larger one went, the more expensive it would get.

And for a network like the Kang Clan's to be created would take hundreds of thousands of years. ~SHUA~

Lady Kang searched through the impressive register and soon found the information she was looking for.

"There have indeed been instances like that." Lady Kang stated. "Two instances, to be exact." She added.
