Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 3557: Dangers Of Space

Huli Zu let out a low whistle.

"That is quite an adventure."

He leaned back again, shaking his head slightly.

"You must truly be an adventurer to chase something so rare into the depths of space."

Daoist Chu smiled faintly.

"We are not heading into the void blindly."

He gestured lightly with one hand.

"We have prepared extensively for the dangers of space."

Cattaleya leaned back in her seat with a casual grin.

"And we are plenty strong."

Her confidence was clear.

But Miyeon slowly shook her head.

"That is not the only danger you should consider."

Her voice carried a subtle seriousness now.

The room grew attentive again.

"What do you mean?" Lin Mu asked.

Miyeon folded her sleeves neatly before speaking. "The space around our world is not entirely stable."

Huli Zu’s expression tightened slightly. "You mean the reports?"

Miyeon nodded. "There have been sightings of a Chaotic Spatial Storm."

Meng Bai frowned.

"A spatial storm?"

Miyeon looked toward him.

"Yes."

"It moves unpredictably through the space surrounding our world."

She continued explaining.

"It has no fixed location. Sometimes it disappears for months. Other times it reappears suddenly in entirely different regions."

Huli Zu added quietly.

"The storm is far away from our planet, millions of kilometers beyond the world boundary."

"But its influence can spread across enormous distances."

Miyeon nodded again.

"Even if you are not inside the storm itself, the energy bursts it releases can travel through space."

"Those bursts can destroy ships, shatter asteroids, and tear apart spatial structures."

Lin Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly. He knew exactly what she was describing.

’Chaotic Spatial Storms.’

They were born from the void itself.

When excessive turbulent spatial energy gathered in one region of the void, it could tear through the thin boundary separating the void from normal space. Once that chaotic energy leaked through, it would spiral uncontrollably.

World barriers usually prevented such phenomena from forming within planets.

But the open space between worlds had no such protection.

There, the storms could grow freely. And their behavior was terrifyingly unpredictable. Sometimes they shrank to only a few hundred meters in diameter. Other times they expanded to swallow entire asteroid fields.

A storm that appeared harmless one moment could suddenly erupt into a million kilometer wide vortex of destructive spatial turbulence.

They were among the most feared natural phenomena in the universe.

Daoist Chu’s expression had grown serious as well.

"I have encountered records of such storms before," he said quietly.

Cattaleya folded her arms. Even her confident demeanor faded slightly.

"I wouldn’t try to punch one of those," she admitted.

Lin Mu glanced at her. "That might be the first sensible thing I’ve heard you say about danger."

Cattaleya rolled her eyes. "Hey, I’m reckless. Not stupid."

She leaned forward slightly. "A Chaotic Spatial Storm doesn’t just crush things."

"It tears them apart at a fundamental level."

Her voice carried unusual gravity.

"Body, soul, matter, energy. Everything."

Lin Mu nodded slowly.

She was right.

If a storm truly existed near the Fox Scion World, then their journey into the surrounding asteroid fields would require extreme caution.

For the first time since arriving, Lin Mu felt a subtle shift in his plans. This world might hold more dangers than he had initially expected.

Lin Mu sat quietly for several moments after Miyeon finished explaining about the Chaotic Spatial Storm.

Outwardly, his expression remained calm. But internally, his thoughts had already begun calculating possibilities.

Traveling into space had always carried risks, but a spatial storm changed the entire situation. It was not something that could be treated like ordinary danger. A beast could be fought. An enemy could be avoided or defeated.

But a spatial storm was a natural phenomenon.

One that obeyed no logic, no morality, and no negotiation.

Lin Mu tapped his finger lightly against the armrest of his chair.

’I could detect it from afar,’ he thought.

His spatial perception was extremely sharp, especially after his deepning comprehension of spatial techniques and his connection with Xukong. Even if the storm were still millions of kilometers away, he would likely feel the fluctuations long before they reached him as they would be potent.

Escaping such a storm personally would not be impossible.

But the problem was not himself.

It was the others.

Daoist Chu, Meng Bai, Elyon, and even Cattaleya.

Lin Mu knew very well that trying to protect everyone from a chaotic spatial phenomenon was far from simple. Even the smallest miscalculation could lead to disaster.

A single unexpected expansion of the storm could swallow entire fleets.

Even if he shielded them with his strength, there were too many unknown variables.

"Flying there on our own is probably out of the question," Lin Mu concluded internally.

As if sensing his thoughts, Daoist Chu spoke up.

"We will probably need a vessel," the old formation master said calmly.

Lin Mu looked at him.

"A flying vessel designed for space travel."

Lin Mu nodded slowly.

"That would indeed be the safest option."

Flying within an immortal world and flying through space were two completely different matters.

Within a world, cultivators could rely on the ambient immortal Qi that permeated the environment. Movement techniques worked by pushing and pulling against that Qi, allowing cultivators to glide efficiently through the air with minimal energy expenditure.

But space was different.

Space was mostly empty.

The ambient Qi density was incredibly low.

Without that surrounding Qi, a cultivator could only propel themselves by directly expelling their own immortal Qi.

That meant every movement consumed personal energy.

Even if they constantly replenished themselves with immortal stones or recovery pills, the cost would be enormous. And that was not even considering the distances involved.

Between worlds, distances were measured in millions or even billions of kilometers.

Even if they flew efficiently, using bursts of Qi followed by long momentum glides, the journey would still be exhausting beyond reason.

Not just physically.

Financially as well.

Lin Mu imagined the sheer amount of immortal stones required for such a journey and quietly sighed.

"Flying there ourselves would be foolish."

A specialized vessel was clearly the better option.
