Learning that they weren't the first ones to go after the Spatial Plane, the Crown Prince wasn't really that surprised.
"I expected that. Most such places have already been visited by others, or were at least attempted." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke.
"So what else do the documents say?" Lin Mu asked for more information.
"The person who was looking for the spatial plane was also a Demon. Though, according to their worlds, they were looking for the remnants of their ancestors." Ziran read. "If the inheritance is really left by a Celestial, then there is a high chance they belonged to the Thorn Rage Demonic tribe." He finally revealed.
Hearing that, the people present couldn't help but furrow their brows.
"If it's the inheritance of a Demonic tribe, will it even be of use to us?" Daoist Chu asked.
"There will still be resources and other things that will be beneficial." Crown Princess Shang chimed in.
"There is another option you are forgetting." Qiao De spoke up this time. "Having the inheritance of any celestial is massive. Even if it is not compatible with you, there might be someone else that is compatible with it. You could very well sell or exchange it for another such opportunity. And if you're lucky, you might even be able to directly buy another celestial's inheritance that might work for you." He explained.
"That is indeed true." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded his head.
This was also what he was intending to do, and having trained in the Immortal court, he had plenty of connections to do so.
"Yeah, you don't have to worry about it going to waste." Ziran chimed in. "There will be plenty of demons that will pay a great price to get it. If you don't have a seller, I can always check in with my wife and the other chieftains." He offered.
"That works." Lin Mu didn't see any loss here.
The group discussed a few more things as hours went by.
Lin Mu got to know that their journey could take anywhere from a few weeks to a month to reach their destination. This was due to the fact that the ocean was unpredictable and even with the ship being strong enough and there being strong people, there could be other issues.
Not to mention, getting to the islands where the Spatial Plane was also not simple. The way to getting there would actually be guided by the broken compass that Qiao De had shown. Of course, an additional compass that was adapted to the broken one would be used. But it would take some time to adapt and work accurately, and as such it was best they took a steady path than rushing in. If they didn't let the compass work steadily, there was a chance they might end up going in the wrong direction.
And by the time evening rolled in, Lin Mu and the Crown Prince sensed an energy fluctuation coming in from the distance.
"Looks like our final member is here," Crown Prince Feng Shun said, looking at the black dot that was approaching from the sky.
Lin Mu too looked at it and narrowed his eyes, trying to identify what it was. And as the object got close, it became clear.
"A carriage?" The others also noticed it at this point.
"It's being pulled by a beast…" Lin Mu sensed the immortal Qi fluctuations coming from the beast. They were quite vigorous and showed that the beast was not simple.
'At least fourth tribulation stage of the immortal realm…' Lin Mu sensed.
And once the carriage got closer, Lin Mu was also able to get a proper look at the beast.
It was a giant black horse that was bigger than an elephant. Its four legs were full of muscles that were like steel cables and its black eyes were piercing. Steam rose from its nose, while six sharp tusks jutted out of its mouth. It had a long flowing mane that was red, unlike the rest of its fur.
A metal harness that was crafted with gold and silver was attached to its body and was being used to pull the carriage. ~NEIGH~
The beast called out its presence.
"Is that…" Daoist Chu and Ziran were the first ones to recognize the beast surprisingly. "A pure blooded Immortal Steppe Stallion?!" Lin Mu had heard about the beast and knew that it was valued highly by many immortals, as it was perfect for a mount. Not only was it strong, but its stamina was unending. It was said that a proper pure blooded Immortal Steppe Stallion could run for a decade if it wanted to.
Whether one could get one to run that long though, was another question altogether.
They were proud and stubborn beasts and getting them to submit to a master was very difficult. Only those that could dominate the beast would be able to control it. Otherwise, the beast would probably end up killing them instead.
And then, an Immortal Steppe Stallion would only accept one master. As such, they were high in demand, as reselling them was simply impossible. Thus, anyone that could own one was not only wealthy, but had to be strong too.
Looking at the Carriage attached to it though, proved this point.
It was a golden carriage that had arrays upon arrays covering it. If Lin Mu were to estimate it, he could easily tell that it was a Peak Grade Immortal weapon as well as an Immortal vehicle!
The most striking part of it was a particular symbol that shone on the carriage.
"A Constellation…" Lin Mu saw the twelve stars shining on the carriage that were linked in a particular pattern. "Kang…" He quickly understood.
The Kang clan took the Virgo constellation as their clan crest and it was well known across the Immortal Realm. Anyone that saw it would know the power and wealth they held.
The carriage finally came to a stop next to the ship and its door opened, several pairs of eyes watching.
