Chapter 2619
Hidden among the tens of millions of runes, there was a single thing that stood out. A single comment left by the creator that would be easily ignored if one was not looking for it specifically.
It was akin to a programmerās comment among thousands of lines of code, something most would not pay heed to. Read latest stories on freewebnovel
But to Lin Mu, it was still important.
"Do not bring Fertasā Skull to the Six Band Cluster."
That was all that was mentioned, making Lin Mu a bit confused.
"Six Band Cluster? Is that a location of some kind?" he wondered.
He checked his memories as well as the documents he had for any links but found nothing about it.
"Do you know about this Six Band Cluster, Senior?" Lin Mu questioned.
He waited for seven minutes before Xukong responded.
"No. But since itās a cluster, it is likely referring to a group of stars," Xukong replied. "There are an infinite number of them, and itās hard for even me to know all of them. Not to mention, new ones can form, and old ones can break," he added.
"Hmm⦠Iāll ask the others; perhaps Ziran might know," Lin Mu hoped and hopped out of the Giant Skull.
He flew down to the courtyard where pretty much all of the demons were asleep, save for a handful. It was clear that the demons lived a rather carefree life and liked to sleep after a good meal.
Thankfully, Ziran and Karlia were still awake, so he could still talk to them.
SHUA
Seeing him approach, the two stood up and went to meet him.
"Any luck?" Ziran asked. "Karlia told me that you wanted to inspect Fertasā Skull. Iāve pretty much failed every time in the past," he stated.
"I donāt know if this is a success or not, but I did find something," Lin Mu said before explaining the single note he had discovered.
The two were a bit surprised upon hearing it but then wondered more about it.
"The Six Band Cluster⦠Nothing particular comes to my mind. But if we go off its name, it should have six bands of some kind around it. There are at least a hundred Star Clusters I can think of that match that description," Ziran said after thinking about it.
"I know nothing," Karlia simply said.
SIGH
"Guess Iāll have to look more into it," Lin Mu muttered.
"Donāt take it hard. This is still the most anyone has learned from the arrays of the skull," Ziran cheered him up.
"Yeah, though if we think about it, this is clearly a warning, right?" Lin Mu asked.
"It does seem like that," Karlia nodded. "But the question is, what would happen if it is brought there?"
"It could get attacked, or destroyed due to something there. At the very least, we now know to avoid those places," Ziran stated. "Iāll add them to the list of forbidden places in the Skullās navigation arrays just in case."
"Thatāll be good," Karlia nodded.
"I suppose my work here is done. Iāll take my leave. You can enjoy your time with your family, Ziran." Then, without saying anything more, Lin Mu flew away.
"Wait! Take me with you!" Ziran called out, but his words fell on deaf ears.
And a second later, he felt his long ears getting twisted.
"Already want to run away after five days? You think you can get out of being grounded so easily?" Karlia asked with a hint of irritation. "Come back to the bedroom, mister; we still got some āqualityā time to spend," the demoness said before dragging him back in.
There was no way Lin Mu wouldnāt have heard the man with his senses, but he intentionally ignored it as he didnāt want to be involved in their family drama.
He simply headed to the Imperial Library, hoping to find some information about the Six Band Cluster. Entering it was no problem for him as the Imperial Imperator, and he had full access to all records.
He spent four days cooped up there, looking through maps and records that were about locations. But even after all that time, he found nothing and returned to the Imperial Azalea courtyard.
āThis is a lot more obscure than I thought,ā Lin Mu let out a sigh.
He did find information about some Star Clusters that had an appearance similar to the name, but there was no guarantee they would be what the note in the arrays told him about.
"Perhaps the Saintess knows about it," Lin Mu still had one more hope left.
As such, he quickly made his way back. Once at the courtyard, he first made some food for the Saintess and opened another jar of his personally made wine, hoping to flatter the Saintess a bit, though he didnāt technically need to.
After a couple of hours of dining and wining, he finally popped the question.
"Saintess, by any chance, do you know about a place called the Six Band Cluster?" Lin Mu asked. "It might be related to the demons or the Great Demon Bazgazeal somehow," he added for more context.
"Bazgazeal? Where did you learn that?" The Saintess narrowed her eyes. "Thatās the Decimator of Thousand Worlds, the Heavenly Sky Demon Gigas, Bazgazeal." She clearly knew about the demon.
Lin Mu then explained what he had learned from Karlia as well as showed her the map.
There was no agreement made between him and Karlia that he couldnāt reveal the map to others, so this was totally fine.
After looking at the map, the Saintess was perplexed too. She didnāt know the Shamanic Script of the Demon tribes either, so it was even more difficult for her.
"I canāt really tell anything from this map. Perhaps you can employ the services of that woman, Kang, to find out more," the Saintess replied. "As for the Six Band Cluster, it is far too vague to tell from that. Like Ziran said, there are far too many places like that in the Immortal Realm or the Celestial Realm for that matter," she added.
