Chapter 2442 The Imperial Azalea Courtyard
After the initial guiding, Crown Prince Feng Shun had taken his leave, letting Lin Mu explore his newly acquired Courtyard along with Lady Kang, Min Ju and Daoist Chu.
"This is certainly better than the Hall master's courtyard back at home." Daoist Chu said as they walked through the halls of the palace.
"We have a bigger courtyard that's at least four times this size, in one of our territories." Min Ju chimed in. "If Daoist Lin Mu wishes, it can be prepared for his acquisition as soon as he's there." She asked.
"Haha, I don't need it right now." Lin Mu shook his head.
"But its only appropriate." Lady Kang replied. "The Kang clan as well as I need to replay our debt to you." She added.
"Well, you can do that." Lin Mu replied, much to her pleasure. "But I only need to recover my Body Cultivation and need some Tyrant Bull marrow for it." He stated.
"We can surely do that." Min Ju replied right away.
"As soon as we can leave the Rust Sky world, I'll be able to get it for you." Lady Kang replied. "But for now, I suppose you'll have to wait." She added.
"That's fine. It was something we all knew already." Lin Mu said as he finally came to a halt at the main hall of the palace.
While it was not as big as the Imperial court, it was still over two hundred meters long and could accommodate at least ten thousand people in it. Four rows of chairs were set up perpendicular to the throne which sat at the very end of the hall.
The Throne was made out a mix of Lardite and Jade, and inlaid with hundreds of precious gemstones, all of which were inscribed with arrays.
In fact, the throne was actually the central control node for the entire Palace!
Lin Mu gazed at it for a few seconds before hearing Daoist Chu speak.
"Go on, sit." The man urged him. "See how it all works." "He's right, you should take your rightful place there." Lady Kang agreed too.
"Alright." Lin Mu replied before going to sit on it.
Even though the entire throne was made out of solid minerals, it was actually not as hard as he had expected. There were special softening as well as spongifying formations on the throne that made it as comfortable as a goose feather padded pillow throne.
~HUALA~
And once Lin Mu sat down, he could feel a connection with the throne. This connection seemingly expanded, as he could feel his senses covering the entire palace within moments.
'Oh… this is new.' Lin Mu found the experience rather unique. 'Even though I haven't spread my immortal sense, I can still feel it all the same.' This was the unique properties of the throne due to it being the core node of the entire array system.
Lin Mu also received information about all the formations that were present within the palace and the courtyard surrounding it, along with all those that were present within it. Similar to how one felt one using Immortal Sense, Lin Mu felt like he had an omnidirectional vision when sitting on the throne.
Even if he had closed his eyes, he could observe every person's expression as well as their things like their breaths, heart beats and the trembling of their skin closely.
'No wonder it has all these arrays on it… it would be very valuable to a ruler when observing his subjects.' Lin Mu understood.
With such abilities, no one would be able to hide their thoughts from the person sitting on the throne and one could even misdirect them by closing eyes as well as restricting their immortal sense. The others might think that the person on the throne was not paying attention, but in reality, they were observing each and every movement.
It was both a sly and smart ability that Lin Mu found rather intriguing.
He looked through the other functions of the throne too and found that there were several offensive capabilities, such as being able to spontaneously explode every other chair that was present in the hall along with the individual floor tiles.
'Is this made for defense or assassination?' Lin Mu couldn't help but wonder.
He assessed the power within the formations and estimated that it was more than enough to kill a Fifth Tribulation Stage Immortal in an instant.
'Not just that if all of them are detonated at once, it should be enough to take out Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal too.' Lin Mu estimated. 'Though I don't know if it would be enough to destroy their Nascent Souls or not.' One thing was sure though, the Emperor had certainly spared no expense in building this palace and granting it to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu and Daoist Chu discussed a bit about the place and found them to be rather intriguing in how they were set up, As formation masters, it was certainly something that would earn their interest and the two spent a couple hours in exploring all of them.
In this time, Lady Kang and Min Ju simply sat in the garden beside the lake and waited for the two men to finish their 'study'.
~Sigh~
"Daoist Lin Mu might be excellent in several manners, but he does lack a bit in etiquette with women." Min Ju couldn't help but sigh.
"Haha, I reckon most of the truly good ones tend to be eccentric like this anyways." Lady Kang chuckled as she sipped some tea that the servants had prepared.
The Imperial Azalea Courtyard had come with a full retinue of servants and, as such, refreshments and food could be prepared at a whim.
"I suppose this isn't that bad either." Lady Kang said as she looked at the scenery. "Plus, this place is bigger than the courtyard we bought in the city." She added.
"We could've bought this too, if it were up for sale." Min Ju replied. "That's true." Lady Kang nodded as she observed Lin Mu and Daoist Chu standing on the roof and 'reading' the tiles.
