All this meant that the Avatar had lived for over ten thousand years already and yet was alive. A lifespan this long was far above the Immortal Ascension realm and was among the actual immortal realm.

But even in there, Lin Wu didn't know what life spans did the immortal cultivators have. He lacked a lot of information about those realms and didn't know much other than the names of the realms and their general meanings.

"Tribulations… elements… immortals… Damn! This just gets more and more complicated. Why does it feel like my brain is limited for all this?

" Lin Wu wondered to himself.

But just as he did this, he was suddenly reminded of something.

"Wait, a minute! Is this what those big cultivators mean by not chewing more than what we can eat? I can't understand that much information because my cultivation is low…

" Lin Wu finally understood.

~Sigh~

"Seems like I'll need to increase my cultivation for that as well, so that my brain's capacity and procession power can increase.

" Lin Wu nodded to himself.

By the time he was done with all this, Lin Wu realized that the area around him had changed. This change was rather apparent since the light had decreased by a lot.

"Huh… I guess I'm finally out of the Dread Coil marsh…

" Lin Wu muttered to himself as he turned back and saw the flames burning in the distance.

The area where the flames were burning was the Dread Coil marsh and he was now in the territory of the Ivory Heron dynasty. Though to be accurate, a part of the Dread Coil marsh already existed within the Ivory Heron dynasty, so he had been in here for a while now.

"Hmm… time to get rid of Shirong for now. I'll need to find a good location for that…

" Lin Wu muttered to himself as he looked around.

After a bit of search, Lin Wu spotted a mountain that seemed to be relatively free from strong beasts.

"That place should work.

" Lin Wu said before bringing the platform to stop above it in the sky.

Lin Wu then flew down along with Shirong on his tail and came to the middle part of the mountain.

"Mining time!

" Lin Wu said as he quickly dug out a large cave to put Shirong down in.

Shirong was still recovering from the damage done by the Skull god and Lin Wu didn't know how long it would take him to recover. Plus, since the system had pulled out all the links with him, they couldn't tell much in detail either.

Lin Wu didn't want to make another link right now either and thus asked the system to do a surface scan.

"System, check the condition of Shirong.

" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The target is currently stable but injured. His body's meridians are damaged and so are his vessels. His Dantian is relatively undamaged and thus his nascent soul is safe too.

The target will recover on his own after a month or more of rest. The target will also stay in a comatose state due to the shock of a foreign mental influence.

——

Reading the system's answer, Lin Wu nodded his head and laid Shirong down on a relatively cleaner part of the cave he had made. After he did that he checked the area around and left a spirit Qi imprint in the cave.

"This should scare most of the beasts away and prevent them from coming closer.

" Lin Wu said before going towards the entrance.

He put another boulder on it to block it while looking into the cave.

"This is the least I can do… after all, I did take advantage of him quite a lot and will take more in the future… haha!

" Lin Wu chuckled and closed the entrant.

~THUD~

The boulder was pushed into place and now no one could enter or leave it without it being moved. This would mostly hide Shirong from others' sights when they passed by while the spirit Qi imprint will keep the beasts away.

With all that done, Lin Wu flew up to the platform and left the area. Shirong was now an investment for the future to Lin Wu and he would benefit from it later.

"Hmm… now what do I do? Head directly back to the Millennium forest or do something else?

" Lin Wu wondered.

While Lin Wu's end goal was to go to the millennium forest, he wondered if he should do some other activities on the way. And while he was doing this, he spotted a large city in the distance.

"That should be the capital of the Ivory Heron Dynasty, right?

" Lin Wu muttered as he checked the map, realizing he was correct.

"I shouldn't get too close with the platform, as it will be spotted. The system can you take this any more higher?

" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: With the current capabilities of the platform, it is unable to go beyond 200 meters of height. The platform will need several materials to repair it and also a steady supply of energy to function.

——

~Sigh~

"Guess we'll have to bear with it. Detour it is…

" Lin Wu said as the platform changed its travel direction.

It went to the right and started to curve around the capital of the Ivory Heron Dynasty. But while he was traveling around it, he suddenly felt a strong spirit Qi fluctuation.

"Huh? What was that?

" Lin Wu wondered.

~DING~

——

NOTIFICATION: Dao Shell realm cultivator detected 130 kilometers away.

——

Seeing the system's warning, Lin Wu narrowed his eyes and decided to see what this cultivator was doing here.

"System, land the platform someplace hidden.

" Lin Wu ordered.

A minute later, the platform landed in a small lake and disappeared below the water while Lin Wu dug into the ground and moved towards the city according to where the Dao Shell realm cultivator was going.

Lin Wu observed the map and saw that the Dao Shell realm cultivator had headed straight to the royal palace.
