Lin Mu assessed the crack and reckoned that this was perfect for this use.

“We have the right place. I’ll expand it and allow for us to use it without other knowing it.” Lin Mu spoke to the others.

“How long do you need, Brother Mu Lin?” Lu Xu asked.

“A few hours.” Lin Mu replied.

“Very well, we have more than enough time. I don’t think we have anyone near here anyways.” Lu Xu stated.

“It is best we keep an eye out and remove all those that approach.” Ming Dandan added, her tone a bit fierce than normal.

“Are you fighting someone?” Ming Aolian asked finding it different.

“—Not anymore.” Ming Dandan spoke after a delay. “They’re gone.”

“Ah… good.” Ming Aolian replied.

“We’ll wait for Brother Mu Lin to finish his work and secure the surrounding in the meantime.” Qian Wen chimed in.

The other’s agreed and quickly got to work.

Thankfully most of the people they were encountering right now were the same cultivation base as them or weaker. It was still unknown how many stronger individuals were present in this Spatial Plane but it was seeing like there were few.

Though it did make sense that the stronger individuals would have liked to jump into the fray earlier, wanting to finish off the competition right from the start. Whatever it might be, it was working in their favor now.

Lin Mu had his affinity with the earth element and was at home here. It didn’t take long for him to expand the area, and most of his time was spent on making formations that would secure and hide the area.

After all, they were intending to stay here for at least a month or more.

Plus Lin Mu couldn’t make an obvious illusory array either. If he did that, it was the same as seeing someone disappear in the middle of their vision. It would be too abrupt. He needed to make something that was a bit more complex and make it harder to sense.

Which was exactly what Lin Mu did.

His past experience with setting up a hidden base came in handy as he was quickly able to make a suitable hideout. Additionally, Lin Mu also expanded the area available for them, so that they had at least five hundred square meters of area for them to reside in.

Once that was done, Lin Mu sealed off the entire area and basically laid what was a circular area full of teleportation formation. The formation only worked when someone was registered in this.

Thus it prevented anyone random from entering it. It helped Lin Mu a lot since he could prevent the random passerby from entering it. But at the same time, he also added a marking formation to it.

This marking formation ‘targeted’ the people who went through its radius of influence and woulds continue to be tracked. This saved Lin Mu both time and effort as he could tell where specific people were without going out and checking it.

The entire Spatial Plane wasn’t that big either.

Lin Mu had been able to make out the total area in just a couple of days. It had come out to about fifty kilometer on each side. In total it was an area of about 2500 square kilometer which wasn’t too small or big either.

Even for normal spirit cultivators, it was something that could be traversed in a few hours. For immortals it was an even shorter time.

But the true complexity came in the factor of the other cultivators that were targeting you.

For the first three days, there were plenty of attacks as the unprepared immortals were wiped out by the others. But as time went by, more and more people realized that they needed to be careful.

Eventually it became so that everyone was being careful about who they fought. They only became offensiveness if it was in their advantage or if they were forced to be. After all, even in a weaker Spatial Plane that Lin Mu was in, there were bound to be a few strong individuals.

Of course, Lin Mu didn’t exactly know how strong the highest cultivator was in this plane was but he assessed them to be at the fifth Tribulation stage fate Immortal realm at the very least. If not for that, he didn’t think they would be able to be dominate the tournament at all.

‘Over all, there are less than twenty fifth Tribulation Stage immortal left in the Tournament.’ Lin Mu remembered the records that he had seen.

In the fifty Fifth Tribulation Stage immortals, the majority were those that were in the top 20. There were a few wild cards included in it, but he knew that they were mostly circumferential.

After all, the best example of a wild card was none other than Lin Mu himself who was at the Second Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm in terms of his Qi cultivation. His body cultivation might be at the peak of Third Tribulation of the immortal realm, but there weren’t many that could estimate it in the first place.

With that in mind, Lin Mu and his companions paced their work, for about three days.

The third day was when something happened that caught Lin Mu’s attention. It was something that the others handn’t sensed at all, but to him it was very clear. The very space itself shifted and the Spatial fluctuations were something that traversed the boundary of the Spatial Planes.

“This… A spatial plane is dispersing.” Lin Mu realized as he was woken up from his comprehension session.

Since he couldn’t go into a deep cultivation session, Lin Mu had taken to compression sessions to improve his understanding of the various elemental as well as the Daos. It was a good thing and he was learning bit by bit.

But now that he had been awakened he learned that it was rather abrupt. Lin Mu could tell that there was something strange happening around the space.
