While Lin Mu had figured out that the twins would be triggering dual tribulations again, he didn't know what element they would be belonging too. And now that he looked at their Nascent soul halos, he could see four halos there. The first two halos were purple and azure, but the newly added ones were red and blue. "Fire and water elemental Immortal Tribulations?" Lin Mu spoke. "They had variants of the two." The Saintess replied. "Which ones were they?" Lin Mu asked feeling curious. Having felt their emotions from the link, Lin Mu knew that they would not have been easy. This he was expectant the Tribulations to be rather dangerous too. "It was the Molten Fire Immortal Tribulation and the Rippling Water Immortal Tribulation." The Saintess informed. "I see…" Lin Mu could somewhat recognize the immortal tribulations as he had read about them before. The Molten Fire Immortal Tribulation was something that would cover one in lava and try to drown them in it. On the other hand, the Rippling Water Immortal Tribulation was one that could send ripples that would shake the organs of all those that underwent it. The ripples were such that they could even affect the water within one's body. If their internal water also rippled at the same time it could cause damage to their internal organs as well as weaken their control over their body. "They overcame the tribulations perfectly. So you don't have to worry." The Saintess added. "Yeah, their bodies have healed already." Lin Mu could tell that they had no injuries left. Even their cultivation base had stabilized and was gathering energy at all times. Now that the twins had reached the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm, they were the strongest among the group as both Lin Mu and Little Shrubby were at the Second Tribulation Stage of the immortal realm in terms of Qi cultivation. "I'm proud of you two." Lin Mu praised the twins. ~hiss~ "We'll become even stronger!" the twins said in unison. "Of course, you will." Lin Mu nodded his head, knowing it was inevitable. It was now that the Saintess spoke up. "The twins will probably take a longer time for their next breakthrough now." She said. "They had this one due to an epiphany. Their control over Yin and Yang has improved which caused the sudden triggering of the Immortal Tribulations." She explained. "That does make sense." Lin Mu nodded his head. "I'll also need to speed up. I don't want to lag behind them after all." He added. "You won't." The Saintess knew for sure. "Mmhmm… oh, considering the twins have broken through, it's time for a celebration." Lin Mu said. "We have a feast ready!" little Shrubby said out loud with a growl. ~Hiss~ "FOOD! FOOD!" The twins were very excited as soon as they heard that. They hadn't eaten the food made by Little Shrubby and Lin Mu for a month now and were desiring that a lot. "Let's take it all out. It's all hot even now." Lin Mu said as he took out all the dishes they had made. In just a couple of minutes, a large spread of dishes was set up allowing them to start the feast. The beasts enjoyed the meal along with Lin Mu. The Saintess also tried most of the dishes while Lin Mu poured some more wine for her. He still had some fresh floral wine that he had made before and it was the perfect accompaniment for her. The Immortal Apple Spirit wine that Lin Mu was making would still take some time to make, thus the other wines would have to serve for now. While eating, Lin Mu also told the Saintess about all that had happened in the tournament. He told her about the fights as well as about the delay in the next stage. "Diviners are interfering?" The Saintess furrowed his brows under her veil. "Yes. The High Elder of the temple himself told me so." Lin Mu confirmed. "That is unusual… for diviners that could hide from the eyes of the guardians, the payment would not be simple. Even an empire like the Dao Wind Empire would barely be able to afford something like that." The Saintess replied. "That much?!" Lin Mu was surprised. "Of course. Fooling the guardian beasts is no joke. Not to mention doing this is the same as offending the four guardian beast clans as well as the Immortal courts. The karma they would have to bear would also be very heavy, which could affect their abilities. For a diviner to do it despite all this, the benefits would have to be equally worthy. Something that could offset it all." The Saintess explained. Having heard this, Lin Mu was perplexed. "Just what can Yao Changying offer them? If an entire empire can barely afford it, even if she has the support of the holy Topaz Empire and the Flourishing Flower Sword Sect, she'll still have a hard time." Lin Mu muttered. "I doubt the two powers would squander their wealth and offend such great powers either." The Saintess was silent for a bit before thinking of something. "If there is one thing that the diviners want more than anything, it is to offset the cost of their predictions." The Saintess suddenly said. "If they can find something that can pay for the cost instead of them, they would suddenly attempt to do this." "Something to pay for the cost of divining… to prevent the backlash?" Lin Mu asked. "Or something to block it perhaps." The Saintess added. "There wouldn't be many things that can do this, can there?" Lin Mu wondered. "They are indeed rare. Even if you move to higher worlds, such treasures are hard to find. At least naturally. There are some experts that can make them though." The Saintess spoke. Hearing this, a thought appeared in Lin Mu's mind. "If so… could there be a treasure like this here?" Lin Mu suddenly asked. "There could be." The Saintess replied. "Even I cannot perceive everything here with my limitations." "I see…" Lin Mu started to have a few hypotheses about what Yao Changying might have done. 'But how do the members of the Black Fin Island join in this? Did she just ask them to interfere to obfuscate the truth?' he wondered. There were still many things that needed to be uncovered to figure it all out, and Lin Mu was sure that it would come out, eventually. For now, though he just needed to focus on the Tournament. 'Who knows, we might even end up stopping it all.' Lin Mu thought. They talked for a while more and discussed about other things that had happened. The Saintess told Lin Mu about the places they had seen while she had taken the Twins. Lin Mu got to learn that the Saintess had taken the Twins to a place in the south that was a vast desert. Though despite being a desert, it had a lot of life in it. There were strong beasts living in the desert along with human cultivators. It was completely unlike the desert in the Xiaofan world that Lin Mu had seen in the past. The Saintess had picked the desert as the place for the breakthrough of the twins, as it wouldn't seem out of place there. The others wouldn't pay much attention to it and would attribute it to some other beasts breaking through. The twins were also talking from time to time, telling Lin Mu about the things they had seen in the passing. For example, they told Lin Mu about a large building that was in the shape of a done. It was nearly three kilometers in size and was very smooth. The surprising part was that there were no humans around it for hundreds of kilometer. It intrigued Lin Mu quite a bit and even made him take a look through the map he had obtained from the merchants in the city. But there was no information about such a dome on the map. Lin Mu took a note wanting to ask others about it later. They spent some quality time talking like this until it was late at night. Their meal was over and the twins had returned to sleeping. "There's just one day left till the next round." Lin Mu muttered. "I wonder how they would be doing it." "It'll be another Spatial Plane." The Saintess quickly said. "They're gonna make them again?" Lin Mu asked in doubt. "There aren't many other ways to allow the participants to fight to their hearts content without causing extensive damage to the other areas." The Saintess replied. "That's true." Lin Mu nodded his head. "That's still good. I guess I'll get to observe the formations again soon." He added. "Indeed… and these ones will be bigger." The Saintess replied. ~SHUA~ A few moments after she said that a wave of energy was felt. "And they're starting." The Saintess smiled under her veil.
