Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu was sitting below a tree as a fire blazed on his side. A beast was currently being roasted over the fire but Lin Mu's focus was on something else.

His eyes were closed and he was contemplating over the words that Senior Xukong had spoken. He couldn't help but feel entranced by them and those few words were stuck in his mind, repeating over and over again.

"Fear or respect, whatever it may be all stems from power… and that is all I need right now." Lin Mu muttered.

Xukong was currently engrossed in his own cultivation and had not paid attention to what Lin Mu had just said. He was suddenly woken up from his trance as he felt something terrifying. His body shuddered and he recoiled in terror.

"What was that…?" Xukong uttered as he looked at the ethereal altar in the distance.

The terrifying feeling that he felt faded away rather quickly and he could not find its source, but considering previous incidences he had a good guess that the altar was most likely the source.

Xukong flew towards the ethereal altar and gazed at it deeply, not finding any change in it.

'Did I imagine it? Or was that a premonition?' Xukong thought to himself as he closed his eyes and focused on himself for a minute before opening his eyes again.

"The connection is still the same… So, a premonition. Hmm, I need to keep a closer eye now."

"That feeling… I haven't felt it before. The Demonic path?… no this was… much worse." Xukong muttered to himself as he got more and more anxious.

Lin Mu was completely oblivious to this and had now opened his eyes. His spirit sense was spread around and he was on the lookout for beasts. He had been in the forest for about two hours now and had lured a couple of beasts to his current location.

But it was not the beast he was looking for. Though, Lin Mu had expected that this would not be easy even though he had taken precautions beforehand and ensured that no blood was spilled when he killed the beasts that approached him.
