Chapter 656 - Mu Tao's Breakthrough
At first, only Lin Mu heard the cries, but then Jing Luo heard them as well.
"Oh? Just as I asked..." Jing Luo said as he turned his head towards the city.
"What’s that seniors?" Mu Niu and others could now hear the sound coming from the city as well.
The sound of cries was mixed and distorted by the time it reached the Mu clan and thus they were unable to tell what exactly they meant.
"That should be the Fei, Hui and Shu clan coming to their senses..." Lin Mu replied, before looking at Mu Tao. "We should start the process, no use wasting time." He added.
"Of course, senior." Mu Tao said before sitting down in the middle of the formation circle.
Jing Luo had only made the initial circle the formation for now so that Mu Tao could take advantage of it. The rest of it could be added later on, once Mu Tao was done with his breakthrough to the Core Condensation realm.
The entire Mu clan had gathered around by now to witness Mu Tao’s breakthrough and was quite excited and anxious at the same time.
After the tragedy two years ago, they had only been fed with one bad news after the other and thus their morale was down in the gutter. But now they finally had a little ray of hope that may perhaps lift their spirits.
Lin Mu was also watching on in interest as he wanted to see how a breakthrough to the Core Condensation realm actually happened. This was because Lin Mu had actually not seen anyone breakthrough to the Core condensible realm before.
The Ball of yarn was suddenly compressed into the size of a marble. This kept on shrinking the more it spun, and about thirty minutes later, it had reached the size of a tiny pea.
The color of the Core was a pale white, the same as that of the others, but there were multiple striations on the entire core. If one looked at it closely, they would find that the core looked like a crystal piece that had been carved to look like a tiny ball of yarn.
And with this, the breakthrough of Mu Tao successfully competed.
~shua~
The spirit Qi infusion started from this point and more and more spirit Qi flowed into his body from the air. His Dantian, that had become empty of spirit Qi upon being converted into a core, was filled back again.
At first, there were only spirit Qi wisps that floated around, but as they circulated between his meridians and Dantian, they elongated to become strings back again. These strings further kept on being compressed until liquefying into liquid spirit Qi.
"That was faster than expected," Mu Niu spoke.
"With the formation array, of course, it was going to be fast. The stabilization of his core shouldn’t take long either." Jing Luo commented.
All the other members of the clan were closely observing Mu Tao and taking notes in their minds. They knew they had to break through to the core condensation realm soon as well and picked a lot of tips from Mu Tao’s breakthrough.
Lin Mu also nodded his head upon seeing all this and felt satisfied by it all. This was a rather smooth breakthrough, and he had gotten to learn some new things as well. But just as he was done with this, Lin Mu felt the communication jade slip vibrate.
He took it out of the ring and held it to see what was the message.
"The city is going crazy. Three clans have been slaughtered!" Jingming Shang’s nervous voice was heard.
