Chapter 1998 Contact After A Hundred And Fifty Thousand Year
Lin Mu and the Saintess were currently sitting in a lavish courtyard.
The Clan head Guang San had provided them the best courtyard they had in the Morning Glory clan, the moment he had heard that the Saintess needed a private place to contact the Ever Spring Mistress.
There was no hesitation in his work, as he quickly mobilized the clan's members to prepare the place for the guests.
By the time they reached the courtyard, the servants had already cleaned and prepared it for them. All the amenities that they might need were present and all the servants were then sent away.
Both Guang San and Princess Feng Lan understood that the Saintess' presence must not be known to others.
Them seeing her was already a great privilege and thus they maintained absolute privacy. Of course, they forgot the fact that if the Saintess didn't want anyone to see her, they wouldn't even know that she wasn't there.
Lin Mu knew this, but didn't say anything as he didn't know what the Saintess was currently thinking.
But once they entered the courtyard, the Saintess quickly set up her own arrays as clouds surrounded the entire place and hid it securely.
"Can you contact others from here, Saintess?
" Lin Mu asked.
"Are there any restrictions in doing so?
" He questioned, not knowing much about this thing.
"While the Immortal court does restrict travel of stronger experts between the realms, communication between them is still allowed.
" The Saintess replied.
"There won't be any issues with me talking to another celestial.
" She added.
"That's good.
" Lin Mu said, liking that she won't be under any extra trouble like the last time she had interfered in the Tournament.
~SHUA~
Next, the Saintess took out a hexagonal mirror from her Spatial Storage. The moment it appeared, a great power could be felt from it. Lin Mu almost shook in his place and his eyes widened.
'Now I know why she set up such strong security. This is no immortal tool… if she didn't seal the area, the power of this mirror would trigger the restrictions of the Rust Sky world.' Lin Mu understood.
He also guessed that this was something above Immortal tools… It was a Celestial Treasure!
Items used by celestials were no longer mere tools and were called as Celestial Treasures.
Once an item reached into the realm of celestials, it underwent a qualitative transformation and obtained abilities that were beyond the understanding of an average cultivator. Unless one was a celestial, they would never be able to understand it.
Not to mention, only a Celestial would be able to use a Celestial Treasure. No matter how much energy an immortal had, they simply wouldn't be able to make a Celestial Treasure work for them.
As a Celestial, Treasure no longer worked on Immortal Qi. It needed Celestial Qi!
Which such restrictions, it was understandable why it was a treasure and not a tool.
~SHUA~
Lin Mu watched as the Saintess held up the hexagonal mirror and activated it. Several runes glowed on its edges before the mirror floated in the air. It then expanded several times and became as big as a full body mirror.
The Saintess then twirled her fingers, making several runes in the air. The runes entered the mirror and controlled its connection.
The Mirror's reflective surface flickered and turned entirely black when the connection was successful.
But after this, there was a strange lull. No sound or change could be seen as the mirror stayed black.
"My, my, I would have never thought it would be you contacting me first… Saintess.
" A voice spoke from the hexagonal mirror.
And once the voice was heard, an image also appeared on the mirror. Its black surface changed to show a location.
Lin Mu observed as the figure of a woman appeared on it. The woman had her back facing towards them and a tall tree could be seen behind her. The tree had a light brown trunk and similarly colored branches, along with vibrant green and yellow leaves.
But as Lin Mu looked closely, he saw that the woman was actually sitting on one of the branches of the tree. 'That's not a tree… that's just one of the branches of the tree.' Lin Mu understood.
It was evident that the tree was much bigger than could be seen from the image. Ignoring that for now, Lin Mu focused on the woman herself. 'So this is the Ever Spring Mistress…' Lin Mu looked at her figure.
She had rose pink hair that was left open and free flowing. She was wearing lilac colored robes that were very long and exceeded the length of her body. The robes had fine floral patterns on them which looked rather lively and beautiful.
"Ever Spring Mistress…
" The Saintess replied.
"This is a special occasion.
"
"It sure is. And here I thought you had completely forgotten about me.
" The Ever Spring Mistress said before turning around.
Lin Mu finally got to take a look at the woman, or rather… girl.
The Ever Spring Mistress looked like she was a teen girl. Her long rose pink hair hung freely along the sides of her face and was rather straight. The girl's eyes were hazel colored and had pink flower like patterns painted on the edges of her eyes. On her forehead though, a complex rune seemed to be written, which Lin Mu couldn't read.
But the rune was symmetrical and looked good on the girl instead of standing out.
She held a thin branch in her hand on which tiny white flowers were blooming.
A small smile appeared on her face as she gazed at the Saintess in the mirror.
"So for what reason did you remember me after nearly a hundred and fifty thousand years?
" The Ever Spring Mistress questioned.
Lin Mu's expression became incredulous after hearing her words, though.
'Hundred and fifty thousand years?!' Lin Mu hadn't expected that the two celestials hadn't been in contact for that long.
