Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2439  A Spatial Lock

"Where is the Temple Head?" Lin Mu asked. "If I recall correctly, he's in charge of all the shrines of the Four Guardian beasts." He remembered what High Elder Juxue had told him.

"The Temple head was unfortunately away from the Rust Sky World when the Teleportation Blockade was set up by Yao Changying. If he were here, he just might have found a way out of here since he's both a Spatial Master as well as a Formation Grandmaster." Emperor Feng answered.

"Hmm… What of the other expert? The Envoy of the Western Immortal Court." Lin Mu asked next. "He was also a Spatial Expert, wasn't he?" "He's not here either. He was in charge of investigating Yao Changying and had actually left to inform the Western Immortal Court about her acts along with the Temple Head as the witness." Emperor Feng replied. "And as soon as the two were gone, the teleportation blockade was set up." "So Yao Changying knew of them and was waiting for them to be gone before starting her plan." Lin Mu could tell that this was a long conspiracy by her and she had been targeting this very moment to begin it.

"Indeed." Emperor Feng nodded his head. "Without them you are possibly the only Spatial expert we know of on Rust Sky World right now." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated.

Lin Mu couldn't help but feel that a heavy responsibility was placed onto him. It was also something that he couldn't reject and felt obligated to accept it.

'I suppose I can at least test what this 'teleportation blockade' is,' Lin Mu thought to himself.

With that in mind, Lin Mu closed his eyes and opened them after a few seconds, activating his Spatial Perception.

To the others, it felt like his eyes seemed to be glimmering and unfocused. To Lin Mu though, the entire scene in front of him had changed. Instead of the Imperial Court and its walls, what he saw was the very fabric of space. The Fabric of space seemed to be normal at first, but the more Lin Mu focused on it, the more he realized that it was only 'pretending' to be normal.

'I can't actually look into the void?' Lin Mu quickly realized what was strange. Even after focusing on the fabric for longer, he didn't see the void. This was very strange since he could usually look at void with ease as long as he focused. He tried to see what was the problem but couldn't. The others also didn't disturb him, realizing that Lin Mu was analyzing the space.

They had no idea that he was currently stumped.

Thankfully there was someone Lin Mu could consult in a situation like this.

"Senior Xukong, what's happening here?" Lin Mu questioned the spider.

Xukong had been observing and listening to all the conversations. After all, he was also curious about all that had happened in these 25 years as he too was isolated due to Lin Mu's condition. "Hmm… From the looks of it, there seems to be a Spatial Lock." Xukong answered.

"A Spatial Lock?" This was a skill Lin Mu was familiar with and had even encountered it before when he was fighting against Gu Yao and the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord back in the Xiaofan world.

Later on, he had learned more about it from Xukong and found out that a Spatial Lock was one of the several Spatial Skills that most Spatial Masters tried to learn.

A Spatial Lock was in simple terms a form of a restriction that prevented the use of other Spatial Skills within it. But it was certainly not a simple skill and needed a decent comprehension of Space to implement. The methods to implement were also varied and one could either use arrays to set up a Spatial Lock, use a Spatial Tool, or simply use their raw skill and proficiency with skill to do it.

Generally speaking, it restricted all those that had a lower understanding of the Space to be unable to use Spatial Skills within it. As such, it was one of the effective methods of restricting teleportation and was often used to secure areas for protection.

As such, the scale of Spatial Locks were also varied.

One could set it up within an area as small as just one cubic meter and as big as a world. Of course if someone had the capability to do so, they could even set it up over several worlds or galaxies at once.

"They've set up a Spatial Lock over the entire Rust Sky world." Xukong replied. "And its not a normal Spatial Lock either… it's rather high tiered." He added.

"If it can stop both Transcontinental and Inter-world Teleportation… just what kind of Spatial Master would they need for it?" Lin Mu knew for sure the number of experts that could set up such a large Spatial Lock were few. "They would need several Transcendent Spatial Masters for this, which I'm most certain they don't have. As such, this should be a limited Spatial Lock." Xukong replied. "Try using your other Spatial Skills." He asked.

"Let me try." Lin Mu said before using each of his Spatial Skills.

The other watched as Lin Mu's body turned blurry, before disappearing and reappearing a few meters away and then suddenly sinking into the floor. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Down there, his body disappeared entirely as he entered the Parallel Dimension before soon reappearing back on his original spot.

"Huh… All my spatial skills are still intact." Lin Mu muttered in surprise. "The Spatial Lock is only targeted towards teleportation arrays?" "Looks like it." Xukong answered. "This is good, since it means short distance teleportation such as that with Blink is not blocked. They probably kept the Spatial lock highly targeted as they couldn't afford to expand it to be all-encompassing for all Spatial Skills." He explained.

Hearing that Lin Mu felt a bit more hopeful as it meant that they still had several avenues of getting out of this and that his strength was not reduced in this aspect.
