Chapter 543 - Seven Beasts Burst
Xukong felt pleased with Lin Mu’s quick thoughts and nodded his head.
"Exactly! When you tried that it didn’t work, right? I think we overlooked the vast difference of power between you and an actual Cub of Great slumber bear. First of all, a beast like that would not be found in a world like this at all. Instead, it would be in a higher leveled world where the heavenly laws are more active." Xukong said.
"What would that mean for me?" Lin Mu asked.
"That means the environmental conditions were simply not the same for both of you. Instead, what you needed was a little push which came in the form of the tribulation lightning. From what we saw it was the pure tribulation lightning that was intended for Bilao that struck you. It was not a mistake at all, nor was it a chance, it was clearly drawn to you.
I think the problem you have is a contradiction. While you should be able to form a Nascent soul easily like a Great Slumber bear, the world you are in is not optimum for it." Xukong explained.
Lin Mu listened carefully and went deep in thought. Five minutes later he felt like he understood it and had an idea of what he now needed to do.
"Seeing as I have not broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, I’m guessing that I need more bolts of Tribulation lightning." Lin Mu said.
"That’s right," Xukong replied.
"But I can’t trigger it on my own either due to the contradictions between the bloodlines method and the world’s state." Lin Mu added.
"That’s right as well," Xukong replied.
"Which leaves me with... stealing other’s tribulations?" Lin Mu said, feeling a bit unsure.
"Well, that is indeed the most obvious solution." Xukong answered.
"The innate ability he awakened is called as Seven Beasts Burst. The ability is very powerful and quite rare too. It is actually a confirmation that Little Shrubby has multiple Bloodlines that are mutating to form a single bloodline." Xukong replied.
Lin Mu felt happy for Little Shrubby, but then felt uneasy upon seeing his current condition again.
"Senior, why is he like this now though?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Seven Beasts Burst is an innate ability that demands a lot from its user. It not only boosts all aspects of the beast’s strength but it also increases its cultivation base. Little Shrubby used it for the first time and kept it activated for a long time.
It’s his blood essence that has been damaged, most likely. Thankfully, his bloodline seems to be recovering on its own. If not he would not have been in a hibernation state like this." Xukong explained.
Lin Mu nodded at this and then remembered what he was going to do earlier.
"Wait him awakening the innate ability and me getting the new sutra are linked." Lin Mu said.
"Linked? How?" Xukong questioned.
"When I was getting the sutra, I saw a lot of beasts. They were letting out their cries, but I couldn’t understand them. But after more time passed, I began to understand it bit by bit, until it was the same as the human tongue for me.
It was they who taught me the Nurturing heart sutra." Lin Mu answered.
’Could it be...?’ Xukong suddenly thought of something.
"Use the sutra and see what effect it has right now." Xukong urged.
Lin Mu nodded his head and sat down cross legged. He took a deep breath and finally started to chant the Nurturing heart sutra.
But the moment he did so, countless beasts across the world howled out as one.
