Chapter 2228  The Heaven Silencing Seal

Everyone's eyes were locked onto the hexagonal pillar, for the item written on it was simply incomprehensible to them.

The first part was of course, the price, but the second was the name itself.

"The Heaven Silencing Seal?" Lady Kang read the name. "That is… Very domineering." She added.

"While there are many that name their creations 'heavenly' most are simply exaggerations." Ziran spoke. "But if it's in a place like this, I doubt this is an exaggeration at all." There was no lack of blacksmiths and refiners that named their weapons and tools with the term Heavenly. But of course, it was never actually that mighty, mostly being a way to sell better and also to make the name sound more impressive.

"While the price for it is high… We still don't know what it might do." Elder Hu said cautiously. "Would it be wise to go for something like this?" "Indeed, the price is not something we might be able to afford." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "Even reaching the amount to get the Immortal Paragon Ring alone seems like a distant dream right now, not to mention something that will cost more than three times that." He added.

"Unless we can pool our points together, I don't see a way to get this." Daoist Chu reckoned. "And not to mention the time it'll take for us to gather that many points. Who knows how long we'll have to hunt the Chimeric Beasts." He added.

"That's true. It's not like we can continually fight nonstop." Crown Princess Shang agreed. "Especially in a place rife with dangers like this. It would be different if we were out in the real world… But there are Baleful energies and not to mention Death Qi itself. Even the Chimeric Beasts can quickly become overwhelming if we are not careful." She expressed her concern.

"There is that Strong Chimeric beast too… That's possibly comparable to a Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal. For something like that, it'll be hard for us to defeat even if we all band together." Qiao De remembered something that had almost killed him from afar.

While the group conversed about the item and the possibility of getting it, Ziran noticed that one person was awfully silent. His gaze went over to Lin Mu and he realized the man hadn't moved.

"Daoist Mu Lin… Is everything fine?" he asked, but received no answer.

"Huh?" the others looked over after hearing that and saw Lin Mu's state.

"Daoist Mu Lin?" Crown Prince Feng Shun placed his hand over Lin Mu's shoulder, trying to shake him.

But the man was still unresponsive.

~SHUA~

Lady Kang took a different approach. Her immortal sense scanned Lin Mu to ensure that he was fine.

"He's fine physically." Lady Kang stated. "But mentally…" she saw the blank gaze with which Lin Mu was looking at the Heaven Silencing Seal.

But after a few seconds, something seemed to change as Lin Mu moved.

"ITS THAT!?" Lin Mu exclaimed, shocking the others before shuffling through his ring.

They were surprised at seeing Lin Mu take out a wooden slip. The slip seemed to be quite old and it was hard to tell what kind of wood it was. "What is…" But before Lady Kang could say more, Lin Mu's immortal sense seemed to be scanning through the wooden slip.

"Where is it… it should be here… I remember it…" Lin Mu muttered to himself for a few seconds before finally finding what he was looking for. "GOT IT!" he seemed to be very excited.

"You recognize the item, Daoist Mu Lin?" Ziran understood a bit more.

"Mmhmm." Lin Mu simply hummed in response, not elaborating further.

In his mind though, a hundred thoughts were rushing through.

'It really is the Heaven Silencing Seal… It's written exactly in the same way so I'm not mistaken.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

"What is it?" Xukong was a bit concerned about Lin Mu's behavior too and spoke up in his mind. "That's the Memoirs of the Lost Immortal. Why are you looking through it?" he asked.

"Ah! Senior Xukong, this Heaven Silencing Seal is from the Memoir of the Lost Immortal!" Lin Mu informed him excitedly. This was the very first time that Lin Mu was actually finding an object that was mentioned in the Memoirs of the Lost Immortal. It was something he could recognize and see in person. All the other things that were emendation in the memoir of the Lost Immortal were about the man's stories and the things that had been encountered by him.

Even the beasts that were mentioned were names that Lin Mu could recognizing and even find if he wished too. But that would not be useful as it would not be likely that it would be the very same beast that had met the Lost Immortal.

It had been Lin Mu's wish to learn more about the elusive man, and even though he had the memoirs and read it often, there were always a few things missing.

It was quite likely to be intentional, as if the Lost Immortal himself wished for the person who had found his memoir to learn more themselves.

The Lost Immortal could be called as a man who had explored a lot, and some of Lin Mu's desire to explore the worlds and learn about them had also come from it. He had been inspired by the memoirs, thus finding something that was explicitly mentioned it was quite thrilling for him.

But it wasn't just because of the presence of the item, but what it could actually do.

'I thought it was just a metaphorical mention back then… but now…' Lin Mu thought something.

He read through the entry again that told of the Lost Immortal's encounter with a strange 'creature.' This creature looked to be human, but the Lost Immortal was highly sure that he was not. Not only was the creature's aura different from humans, the way the man had encountered was also very alarming.

The Lost Immortal had just survived an Immortal Tribulation and was greatly injured. This was technically fine, but the creature's sudden appearance was concerning due to the fact that the Lost Immortal had been in seclusion in a very remote place and no one should have known he was there.

Then there was the fact that there were many barriers and isolating arrays that had been set. Thus, normally speaking, not many should have discovered him.

And this was on top of him being in a remote and barren world that didn't seem to have much life in general. This was all the result of him delaying his breakthrough until he was at the end of his lifespan. He was forced to endure an Immortal Tribulation in the middle of his travel and ended up getting injured due to it.

While he had survived, the situation was still very dangerous due to the creature he had encountered.

What was also bad was the fact that the Lost Immortal wasn't particularly strong. He was barely at the Third Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm after his breakthrough, thus it wouldn't be hard for a lot of cultivators to kill him. Especially considering that he was weakened.

Even a First Tribulation Stage Immortal would be able to kill him with a little effort, not to mention someone stronger.

And anything that could get in despite the barriers and arrays was certainly strong since the Lost Immortal had not sensed any of the barriers or arrays breaking. It meant that the creature had easily bypassed them.

The Lost Immortal was alarmed, but much to his surprise, the 'creature' didn't seem to be hostile towards him. Of course, the way the creature spoke was inhuman, his voice bordering on monstrous and mechanical. It almost felt like multiple creatures were speaking at once, their voices almost melding into a screech.

The Creature ended up offering the Lost Immortal a gift. It didn't say why he was giving a gift. The creature simply said he thought it would be interesting to see the man use it. He also said that the man will probably need it in the future and that he could keep it.

The man was obviously very wary, but after thinking about it, he reckoned it might be offensive if he didn't take it. But when the Lost Immortal was taking the gift, he noticed something peculiar about the creature.

While it had a human form, there were some strange physical aspects to it. The most stunning one seemed to be Emerald Green Crystals that seem to be embedded in the back of the creature's palms.

After taking the gift, the Lost Immortal asked what it was and what it did.

To this, the creature replied it was called as the 'Heaven Silencing Seal'.

As for what it could do, the creature only said a few words.

'Silence the voice of the heavens.'

Of course, the words were stunning and the Lost Immortal didn't believe them for a long time until it was finally the chance to use it.
