Chapter 987: Path To The Gui Continent
Lin Wu knew that the Gui continent was rather cold, but he didn’t expect for the Gui clan to be this reclusive.
It could be said that they went completely opposite to the way the Hu clan was operating.
‘Seems like Long clan took the middle approach compared to the Hu and Gui clan. They seem a little true to their names too… Bold like a Tiger, and Shy like a Turtle…’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
But this didn’t stop Lin Wu’s interest in the Gui clan. Their seclusion seemed to be a little too much.
“So there are no conflicts that happen between the Gui clan and the other powers?” Lin Wu asked.
“There is not much chance of that happening. The Gui clan’s territory is inaccessible to others. It is located deep in the Frozen Glaciers of the north. Getting lost there is easy, and the Weather is cruel.
There are even fierce beasts living there that kill and eat all they encounter. With the lack of prey, they take whatever they can get.
And if we consider the political side, there aren’t any issues between the Gui clan and other powers either. Not to mention, Gui clan trades their signature goods with others which is why they don’t fight with them.” Jifen explained.
“I see, so they aren’t just interacting enough for that to happen.” Lin Wu finally understood just how much of a hermit the Gui clan truly was. “And how do you get to the Gui Clan?” he asked next.
“There are two routes to the Gui Clan. The first is another array that is located in the northern coast of the Long Continent. But it is highly damaged and is unsafe to use. There is a significant chance that the destination might end up getting changed. We haven’t used this array for a long time.
The next is the Ocean Route. We can directly take a ship or even fly over to the Gui continent. While there aren’t as many islands on the way there, there are still plenty of icebergs that float by.
They can be used to rest as long as we take proper precautions.” Jifen explained in detail.
Hearing this, Lin Wu knew he had to have the location of the teleportation arrays. Even if they couldn’t fix them, he knew the system should be able to do that. Not to mention, if he managed to connect it to the tomb’s array, it would expand his scope of movement a lot more.
“Alright then, I’ll also want the coordinates of all the Teleportation arrays.” Lin Wu ordered.
“As you wish…” Jifen didn’t want to even think about making the Calamity Fiend mad.
He quickly recorded the location of the arrays on a jade slip and passed them onto one of Lin Wu’s many tentacles.
‘System scan this and plot out the locations.’ Lin Wu ordered in his mind.
~DING~
——
JADE SLIP: Obtained
DATA NODE: Obtained
ANALYZING: Data node
DATA BANKS: Updated!
MAP: Updated!

The system quickly read the data and charted it on his map.
‘Now let’s see just how far they are…’ Lin Wu switched the map from a local setting to a world setting and saw the area shrinking.
In just a few seconds, the island he one wasn’t even a dot on the map. Nearly a thousand kilometer west from his current location there was another island. This was a lot smaller, but it was also the one with the first Teleportation Array.
‘Just enough distance for me to cover on my own. If I can link that up with the tomb’s array or even add a supplementary array to it, I’ll be able to resume from right there.’ Lin Wu decided.
But along with this, Lin Wu also saw a dot that he had almost forgotten about.
“Who is the second Immortal Ascension realm cultivator here?” Lin Wu questioned, as he had sensed two of them at the start but now the second one was nowhere to be seen.
“Ah the second one is a beast too. A Magma Carp that lives in the volcano below us. It probably ran away after you appeared here.” Tian Guisha replied. “It can swim in the magma tubes and moves around.”
“Is it your tamed beast?” Lin Wu questioned.
“No… we just have somewhat of an alliance. It comes to feed here sometimes.” Tian Guisha answered.
When Lin Wu had gone to the site of meteor crash a long time ago and jumped in the lava, he had wondered if there were lava fishes. And today, he got his answer.
‘Guess there really are all kinds of beasts in the world.’ Lin Wu thought to himself wondering if he should take a closer look at the Magma Carp.
Deciding against it for now he looked at Tian Guisha for a moment and spoke, “I’ll take my leave now. I’ll leave behind my subordinates to coordinate the rest.”
“Very well.” Tian Guisha nodded. “But before you go… I want to ask something.” He interrupted Lin Wu.
“What?” Lin Wu responded.
“The King of the millennium Forest, Lin Wu… Just how strong is he?” Tian Guisha asked. “The reports we got are highly varied with the earlier ones putting him at the Dao shell realm and some rumored ones putting him at the Immortal realm.” He added.
“The Calamity Fiend is the only one who fought him directly… you, so what is your assessment?” Jifen also felt curious.
Lin Wu thought about how to answer them for a minute. He didn’t want them to be too scared and neither did he want them to be too calm about his other aspect.
‘I need to find the perfect balance between the two…’ Lin Wu thought.
“We have indeed battled and in that aspect I can say that we are almost evenly matched.” Lin Wu spoke.
“B-but didn’t you retreat during the fight at the Cang Lan sect?” Jifen asked but the felt like he might have overstepped.
Lin Wu gazed at the man, making him tremble again.
