With the Saintess's warning, Lin Mu now had an idea of what he would potentially be facing. This actually increased his confidence, as he could now think further about the dangers and how to overcome them.
"Don't forget to make use of the Twins." The Saintess suggested. "They will be able to help you battle against Baleful Energies and even the Death Energy." She added.
"Of course, Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang can digest those energies." Lin Mu nodded his head. "Mmhmm, it'll also give the twins the chance to grow further." The Saintess said, not feeling worried about them.
She knew the capabilities of the twins very well and knew that they would fare well. Plus, with Lin Mu there, she didn't think there could be any issue.
'With Great Senior Xukong guiding Lin Mu, he shouldn't have too many issues.' The Saintess thought to herself. While she knew that Xukong probably would be limited in how much he could help Lin Mu, even if he didn't assist him directly, just his advice would be more than enough. She also knew that if there really was a danger that Lin Mu wouldn't be able to face, Xukong would be the first to stop him.
"Will you be waiting here, Saintess?" Lin Mu asked.
"I'll be around. I'll know when you leave the place." The Saintess replied.
"Very well. I'll be out quickly anyway." Lin Mu said.
"I doubt that." The Saintess responded. "Considering it is a Celestial's inheritance, the trials inside won't be simple. Even for an Immortals inheritance, it isn't unusual for cultivators to take months to a year to get out. For a Celestial's Inheritance, it will be even longer." She explained.
"Hmm… So at the very least, it might take a year." Lin Mu noted that. It was an important fact that he needed to keep in mind, considering his own body's conditions.
'Thankfully I've eaten enough to last and I also have more food in the storage.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

"We're here." Qiao De spoke after the ship had docked on the side of the island.
This was the island with the main entrance, though it didn't particularly stand out. At the very least, Lin Mu could tell that not everyone was able to sense the death energy like he could. Among their main group, Lin Mu could tell that the Crown Prince, Monk Hushu and Ziran were able to sense the Death energy as their expressions were tense. Plus, every time a pulse of Death energy radiated over them, there were faint Qi waves coming from them three men, showing that they were subtly defending against it.
Lin Mu reckoned that they were only able to sense it due to their cultivation techniques or other factors. The Crown Prince had the experience as well as some other tool to sense it, while Monk Hushu was a Buddhist monk and cultivated Buddhist energies which were in opposition to the death energy. Ziran on the other hand, also had the blood of a Dark Elf in him, which gave him the ability to sense the Death energy too.

But while Lin Mu was thinking this, a person approached him.
"Mei Nienzhen?" Lin Mu saw the still faced woman. "What is it?" he asked.
"Be careful with the expedition." She warned. "There's bad energy here." She said with concern.
"You can sense it?" Lin Mu raised his brows.
"Yes… It's coming from the center." The woman nodded.
"Hmm, I'll be careful." Lin Mu replied. "Thank you for your concern." He said with a smile.
In response, the white haired woman extended her hand towards Lin Mu. "Take this." She said.
Lin Mu looked at her palm and found a snowflake in it. "What's this?" Lin Mu asked. "It'll help you resist the Yin." Mei Nienzhen replied. "Keep it with you." "Alright." Lin Mu said, taking the snow flake as he didn't think she would take a no for an answer.
And once he put it in the pocket of his robe, the woman seemed to be satisfied.
