The Saintess observed the Twins carefully, not wanting to make a mistake. Her senses were sharp and Lin Mu could feel her entire demeanor change.
If before he felt like he was watching a calm sea, now it was like a sea that had sprouted several twisters above it!
Five minutes passed like this before the Saintess withdrew her senses.
"Looks like the records are still lacking." The Saintess spoke.
"What's happening Saintess?" Lin Mu questioned.
"The Yin Yang Twin Serpents are having a breakthrough and are thus attracting a tribulation. This shouldn't have happened since they are still very young, but then again their birth itself is a miracle.
I don't think we can fully follow the records that are in my sect. My understanding of the Yin Yang Twin Serpents may not be accurate now." The Saintess answered.
"Then if they are having a tribulation, why are there such spatial disturbances around them?" Lin Mu asked next.
"Their tribulation won't be just any Immortal Tribulation. It will be on the level of a Transcendent Tribulation." The Saintess replied, shocking Lin Mu. "Both of them will be having their breakthrough at the same time, as I stated in the record and their tribulation were fused. This might be why the incoming tribulation has turned into a Transcendent Tribulation instead of a normal one." She explained.
Hearing this Lin Mu furrowed his brows.
'What's worse having two variant Immortal tribulations or a single Transcendent Immortal Tribulation?' Lin Mu couldn't help but wonder. "What should we do then? Can we weaken it?" he asked.
"No… if it really is going to be a Transcendence Immortal Tribulation, weakening it won't be possible. No tribulation attenuation array will work against a Transcendent Immortal Tribulation. We can only wait for it and let the Twin's pass it." The Saintess replied.
"Can't you help? You are a Celestial right?" Lin Mu questioned.
"No, I can't. This is something the twins need to get through on their own. It is necessary for their growth. And while I would not have preferred for them to have a Transcendent Immortal Tribulation, now that they are having one, we'll just have to let it happen." The Saintess answered with a little sadness in her tone.
Lin Mu pursed his lips and looked at the twins.
He went silent for a bit before speaking again.
"If Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang are really as strong beasts as you've said, then I believe in their capabilities. I believe they can get through this." Lin Mu stated.
Being the master of the twins, Lin Mu could sense their emotion through the link. And right now, they didn't seem to be afraid at all.
In fact, there was no thought of the Tribulation on their mind.
Lin Mu knew the twins were sensitive and could sense danger. But right now since they were not reacting, he reckoned the twins were not really feeling any threat from the incoming Transcendent Tribulation.
'He might have greater faith in the Ancestral Serpents than me…' The Saintess thought to herself, while a smile appeared under her veil. "We'll observe how it goes. Chances are, we are simply thinking too much." She said.
"Yes… let's watch it." Lin Mu agreed. "How long till the food is done, Little Shrubby?" he asked, next.
"Just a few more minutes." Little Shrubby replied.
"Alright, we'll have a good meal. That'll prepare us for whatever's coming." Lin Mu was not discouraged at all.
The Saintess simply watched as Lin Mu went to assist Little Shrubby in cooking. The Twins were also watching the food being cooked, and were clearly interested in eating it as well.
While watching all this, a thought came to the Saintess's mind.
'If the Yin Yang Twin Serpents undergo a Transcendent Tribulation here, the plane's walls will certainly be torn apart. Those immortals will certainly notice if that happens… they've already been searching for me…' The Saintess pondered.
"Guess there is something I can do after all…" The Saintess said to herself before raising her hand and pointing it towards the sky.
~HUMM~
A couple of seconds later, it was as if the wind had stopped blowing and the clouds had disappeared. An eerier silence spread in the area, making Lin Mu a bit unnerved. He looked around to sense the changes and then saw the Saintess in the middle of something.
"What are you—" Before Lin Mu could finish asking though, he felt a wave of energy spreading out from the Saintess.
The energy was invisible, but Lin Mu could feel it clearly. It spread to beyond the limits of Lin Mu's immortal sense and continued onwards. He immediately switched over to Spatial Sense and directly used his eyes to look in the distance.
Since the Blood Strewn Plains were mostly flat, Lin Mu could see over a hundred kilometer away with just his eyes. This allowed him to 'see' the energy covering the area. It seemed to be forming a thing membrane around it all.
Its radius seemed to be over a hundred kilometers, possible even more than two hundred kilometers.
"Celestial Sylph Arts: Sky Parasol." The Saintess seemingly chanted.
~SHUA~
In the next second, a pattern appeared on her palm.
The pattern was circular and was composed of several runes. One of these runes lit up and flew out of her palm, transforming into something that Lin Mu couldn't recognized. It directly rose into the sky and turned into a thin ray of light.
~HUALA~
And when it reached a certain height, it 'exploded' covering the entire area in its traces.
It merged with the membrane that had been formed far away and formed a dome.
If one looked at it from afar, they would think that a giant parasol had appeared in the bloodied lands!
The Parasol didn't last long though, as a few seconds later it faded into nothingness.
But Lin Mu could tell that it hadn't truly disappeared. It had merely turned into an invisible construct!
