<h4>Chapter 605 - Sky Diving? </h4>


    <i>~KABOOM~</i>


    A massive explosion was heard up in the sky as all the spirit beasts below ran away in fright. The strange thing was though, there were no effects of the explosion such as fire or smoke.


    All that could be experienced was the noise caused by it. But if one looked up at the sky, they would see what was the actual source behind it. A ck hole had been carved out into the sky and it was surrounded by cracks.


    It looked like someone had broken the windscreen of a car with a ball of some kind. But that was just one of the things that were behind it, in addition to that, there were three bodies currently falling from the sky.


    They were hard to see at first, but soon they became apparent. These three bodies were none other than Lin Mu, Jing Luo and Little Shrubby.


    "What the hell! Why can’t I fly?" Lin Mu suddenly eximed.


    Upon breaking through the border of the Sacred grounds, Lin Mu along with Little Shrubby and Jing Luo had started to fall. At the start, because they were still reeling from the impact and the shock, they had not reacted.


    Jing Luo and Little Shrubby were still affected slightly because of the restrictions applied to them during the transport through the teleportation channel. They had not yet recovered from that and thus were unable to move.


    Only Lin Mu was the person who was able to move now. And he tried to fly since they were quite up high in the sky. But then the shock of being unable to fly was delivered to him.


    "It must be a limiter on the sacred grounds. Since it does not allow anyone from the Nascent Soul realm above to enter it, it would obviously not allow you to fly. Try and use your spirit weapons." Xukong Spoke.


    Lin Mu immediately withdrew his spirit sword from the ring, but then found it to be unable to fly either.


    "This doesn’t work either!" Lin Mu said, feeling a bit anxious now.


    While he knew he might be able to bear a fall of this height due to his innate defenses and the Mortal strengthening scripture, Little Shrubby and Jing Luo might not be able to do the same.


    Lin Mu also had another way of bypassing this fall since he could just use Fade to enter the parallel world and fly down there.


    ’If I can get down first, I might be able to catch them somehow.’ Lin Mu thought and used fade.


    In the next moment, he appeared in the parallel world and tried to fly.


    "Why can’t I fly here either?!" Lin Mu was stunned again.


    "This shouldn’t have happened, unless... this is just how fade works." Xukong said.


    As soon as Lin Mu heard Xukong’s words, it clicked to him.


    "Of course! Fade only allows me to enter a ce parallel to this, the rules stay the same though." Lin Mu understood another restriction of fade today.


    "But why do the spirit weapons don’t work either? Even the Qi refining realm cultivators can use them." Lin Mu questioned.


    "Many such inheritance and trial grounds prevent flying so that the contenders have to follow a set route. This also prevents them from cheating and finding a loophole to an otherwiseplex test." Xukong answered.


    Lin Mu was reminded of the various trials grounds that the Lost immortal had gone through and realized that this was understandable. Flying made a lot of tasks easier and if that was restricted, a cultivator would have a hard time doing what they normally did.

    Reappearing in the real world, Lin Mu thought of some other solutions. He was falling for about forty seconds now and still had not reached the ground. In fact, Lin Mu could see the ground was still a minute away.


    His brain ran at lightning speed and the first thing he thought of was his other skills.


    ’Blink! Yes, Blink should help!’ Lin Mu thought.


    He then used blink, but it did nothing except for moving him a distance away from his previous location. He blinked several times, but there was no reduction in his speed. He even tried to blink to a position lower than him and higher, but there was still no difference.


    "Dammit, this doesn’t work either..." Lin Mu cursed.


    He then thought of Phase but using it would be tricky. If he kept on falling like this while using phase, he might end up quite far deep into the ground and would not have enough time toe back up.


    It was now that it hit him.


    "I’ve got it all wrong! I just need to get down faster than them." Lin Mu remembered.


    In the anxiety and rush of falling down, Lin Mu had forgotten what he had thought of literally ten seconds ago. But now that he remembered it he knew the way to proceed.


    "Blink it is..." Lin Mu muttered before starting to use blink non stop to increase his speed of falling. Currently, it would still take Jing Luo and Little Shrubby about thirty seconds to reach the ground, but Lin Mu was already there.


    <i>~BOOM~</i>


    A crater was instantly cratered upon him, hitting the ground and he was directly embedded into it.


    <i>~CRACK~</i>


    A cracking sound could also be hearding from the ground, and this was actually from Lin Mu himself. His Mortal Strengthening scripture’s Armor now had long cracks going all the way from the top of his head to his legs.


    "Damn, that still hurts!" Lin Mu gritted his teeth and forcibly pulled himself out of the ground.


    The ground tore like paper under Lin Mu’s hands and he stood up. Unfortunately, it took him five seconds to get out of the crater and Jing Luo and Little Shrubby had gotten even more close. Lin Mu could not think of anything to cushion their fall either.


    "What do I do?!" Lin Mu said out loud.
