Chapter 2262 Origin Of Chimeric Qi


    Xukong''s reaction was certainly not within Lin Mu''s expectations.


    There weren''t many things that shocked the spider and when it did, it was usually quite serious.


    "What happened Senior?" Lin Mu asked with concern.


    "This energy… It shouldn''t exist anymore." Xukong replied, feeling confused and concerned too.


    His mind raced as he thought about how this could be possible, but no matter how much he thought there were iplete aspects that prevented him from reaching the conclusion.


    "What energy is this?" Lin Mu asked, wondering just how bad it could be.


    "This energy… Is known as Chimeric Qi!" Xukong revealed.


    "Chimeric Qi!? As in the same chimeras that we''re seeing here?" Lin Mu asked in shock.


    "Yes. The same chimeras." Xukong nodded.


    "It… came from them?" Lin Mu was confused as he hadn''t felt this Qi from the Chimeras at all. If he had, he would have surely remembered with how unique it was. Not to mention, the twins had eaten a lot of Chimeric beasts too and they would have surely recognized and told Lin Mu if there was something wrong with them.


    But nothing of that sort had happened so far.


    "No, it didn''te from them." Xukong denied.


    "Huh… then why is it called Chimeric Qi?" Lin Mu questioned.


    "That''s because it is named after a cultivation technique." Xukong answered making Lin Mu furrow his brows.


    It only took Lin Mu a couple of seconds before he made a realization.


    "Wait… if it is named after a cultivation technique then that means… It is a type Qi that was ''created'' due to a cultivation technique?" Lin Mu questioned feeling stunned.


    It would be an almost terrifying thing if this were true.


    After all while there were an unknown number of Qis in the world, they weren''t ''created''. They had always existed, it was simply the cultivators that ended up discovering them.


    It was simr to fire. Man might have discovered fire, but it had always been in existence since the conception of the universe.


    As such a cultivation technique that led to the creation of a new type of Qi was simply unheard of. Lin Mu didn''t even know if something like this was possible.


    "Yes… it was indeed created due to a cultivation technique." Xukong confirmed. "It was the Chimeric Grand Revolution Cultivation Technique." He revealed.


    Hearing that Lin Mu went silent and repeated the name in his mind, finding the name to be both interesting and confusing.


    It was interesting as it was a unique type of cultivation technique that had managed to create a new type of Qi and confusing since it didn''t seem clear whom the technique was intended for.


    "This Chimeric Grand Revolution Cultivation Technique… is it meant for Chimeric beasts?" Lin Mu questioned.


    "No." Xukong denied.


    "Then who?" Lin Mu asked.


    "Everyone." Xukong answered, making Lin Mu''s eyes go wide.


    "Everyone? As in humans, beasts, chimeras, and other races?" Lin Mu almost couldn''t believe it. He knew that there could be cultivation techniques that could be practiced by different races and species, but they still had their limitations. After all, the physiques of races varied and not all cultivation techniques would work for them.


    Not to mention, one would also need talent needed to learn andprehend the cultivation technique.


    Thus while something like a universallypatible cultivation technique was theoretically possible, making one was practically impossible.


    "Yes, everyone." Xukong replied. "It was a cultivation technique that practically brought a revolution in the world… Quite urate to its name." He stated.


    "Then… it is amon technique?" Lin Mu asked next but then realized that this contradicted what Xukong had said at first. "No… On the contrary the technique is incredibly rare." Xukong answered. "It''s why I was surprised by the Chimeric Qi… it can only be produced by the Chimeric Grand Revolutions Technique which hasn''t been seen for a long time." He exined.


    "Why is it rare? If it brought a revolution, that means there were many users of it, right?" Lin Mu asked.


    "Once upon a time there were indeed hundreds of millions of practitioners." Xukong nodded. "But they weren''t exactly… ''good''." He added.


    "What?" Lin Mu asked before a bad feeling rose in his heart. "Were they…" "Yes… of the unorthodox path." Xukong confirmed. "There was a reason they brought a revolution in the world… the revolution was a great rebellion against the ruling orthodox powers." He stated.


    Hearing that, Lin Mu''s feeling got worse. "Then the creator of this technique was of the unorthodox path too?" he asked next.


    "He wasn''t just someone of the unorthodox path." Xukong replied as aplex feeling appeared in his eyes. "He was THE UNORTHODOX PATH." He affirmed.


    Lin Mu took a step back as he wrapped his mind around such a person.


    "So he was the leader of the Unorthodox path?" Lin Mu asked.


    "You can say that. Though rather than just a leader, he was the unquestioned ruler of the Unorthodox path." Xukong answered. "He was someone who''s very name shook the universe. He''s done great things, both good and bad." He revealed.


    "What was his name?" Lin Mu asked carefully.


    "Simr to me, his name carries great karma." Xukong warned first.


    "So his name cannot be spoken?" Lin Mu inquired.


    "Normally yes." Xukong nodded. "At the very least you should not speak it out loud outside in the presence of others, but here it should be fine as long as its me who says it." He added.


    "What is it?" Lin Mu asked while holding his breath.


    "The Chimeric Fiend God!" Xukong revealed.


    As soon as he said that, Lin Mu felt his mind shaking.


    It was as if a quake had urred in his mind, while his vision went nk.


    His chest felt like it was being squeezed while an image started to form in his mind.


    Inside a dark expanse, a massive mountain rose. It was bigger than anything Lin Mu had seen, perhaps even bigger than Xukong.


    The mountain continued to grow, before strange ''appendages'' rose from it. It was then that Lin Mu realized, it was not a mountain at all.


    It was a creature!


    A creature bigger than anything Lin Mu had seen or read about. It had tens of thousands of appendages of all kinds; wings, legs, arms, ws, tentacles, mandibles and more.


    It was a creation that could only be describe as an abomination… A Chimera.


    The more one Lin Mu looked at its form, the harder his heart beat. His blood surged such that veins popped up all over his body.


    But the worst was when Lin Mu made eye contact with the creature.


    ~GASP~


    Lin Mu felt like his heart was being squeezed at that moment. The creatures eyes were crimson like fresh blood and had pupils that were as dark as the very expanse of void itself.


    Staring at them would find one getting lost, especially since it wasn''t just one or two pair of eyes.


    It was tens of thousands!


    The creatures form continued to get clear, as if a fog was being lifted. But the more Lin Mu saw, the worse his condition got.


    "BEGONE!" it was at that moment that a thundering voice was heard.


    ~SHATTER~


    Upon hearing it, the image in front of Lin Mu broke apart and a wave of relief filled him.


    ~HUU~


    He took a breath before trembling and copsing to the ground.


    ~THUD~


    ~HISS~ HISS~


    The twins rushed to him, seeing his sudden fall.


    "Are you okay master!?" the twins asked in unison.


    "I''m… okay…" Lin Mu said after a few seconds.


    He held his head, feeling it throb even now. His heart was still racing, but at least he could breathe now.


    After a minute or so, Lin Mu looked up at Xukong who was floating there with his eyes closed.


    "That… thing." Lin Mu spoke. "Just how much Karma does it carry?" he couldn''t help but question.


    Lin Mu had learned that names of great beings could carry karma that could affect all those that spoke of it or knew about it. The effects varied from being to being, as well as the person who heard it.


    But since Lin Mu had met Xukong, he had been protected due to the spider''s karma.


    In a way it bnced it, as even the Saintess''s presence didn''t affect him.


    As such, Lin Mu hadn''t expected the effects to be this drastic.


    ''Is this how others feel when they hear Senior Xukong''s name?'' Lin Mu wondered.


    "That thing''s Karma is something even I don''t know about." Xukong replied. "But I do know that it was a being that shook the realms. It fought the Courts to a standstill and even defeated some of them." He added. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Courts?" Lin Mu raised his brows. "As in not just the immortal court, but above too?" he asked.


    "Indeed." Xukong confirmed. "That being led one of the three greatest wars of the entire cultivation world. A war that could have led to the end of all things we know." He revealed.
