Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 308 - Leaving The Frozen Cloud Sect?

Lin Wu had spent quite a bit of spirit Qi in helping Wang Xiong breakthrough and also to get him through the heavenly tribulation. In fact, it took Lin Wu more spirit Qi to control the tribulation lightning than it took him to push Wang Xiong past his bottleneck.

But now that he had absorbed all the spirit Qi in the spirit Qi spring, he had not only gotten that amount back, but he had also made a little profit on top of it. Lin Wu felt happy about this as it had put him closer to his own breakthrough to the Child stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Still, Lin Wu would a lot more spirit Qi than just the minimum amount needed to upgrade as he needed to do other things as well. There were the needs of the system and the analysis that it would do along with the other cultivation techniques Lin Wu was using.

Even the Undaunted Sapphire Body Art took up a part of his spirit Qi as he was only practicing it for its unique effect of changing his meridians into sapphire meridians. And now using it to refine spirit Qi.

If he really used it to do that, his speed of refinement would be lesser than that of the Taiji Dual Unity Scripture. Having said that, Lin Wu now needed to leave the area quickly as he still didn't know how the barrier would react.

The barrier would stand for a few more months or even years, but eventually, its integrity would fall and the sect would notice it. The formation would send an alarm when the barrier disappears as well.

Lin Wu couldn't change this part and he didn't intend to either. After all, he already got what he wanted and it would be better if he didn't interfere more. Now all he needed to do was wait and watch things while slowly guided some things from the back.

"Alright, let's head out." Lin Wu said before placing his tail on the barrier and repeating what he had done before.

A few minutes later, a hole large enough for him to pass was opened up and Lin Wu escaped through it. He then went up and took one last look around the sect before deciding to leave. He had already placed a new communication jade slip in Wang Xiong's spatial storage ring when he had helped him and would issue instructions from it.

Plus, this new jade slip actually had a few more functions that Lin Wu had added. The system had improved upon the previous design and had made a new version that could work due to Wang Xiong having a stronger cultivation base.

These functions would allow Wang Xiong to scan the books and records in the sect, which would then be transmitted to the system. In short, Lin Wu had made the Jade slip into a small scanner. Though the energy consumption of it was high and a core condensation realm cultivator would also find it difficult to sustain the use.

'Hopefully, once I set up this spirit Qi spirit source crystal in the tomb, it would have more energy to do complex tasks. The range of teleportation should also increase by quite a bit. Thought getting that main source below the Dark Bloom caverns is a must.' Lin Wu thought.

Now that he had seen the sect patriarch of the Frozen cloud sect and the other high elders, who were all at the Dao Shell realm, the other rulers of the Millennium forest seemed to be weak to him.

Not only that, but he also realized why the beasts had managed to survive till now. If the sects wanted to, they would be able to wipe out all the Rulers of the forest in one go, but the reason they didn't do that was that the forest brought them benefits.

The disciples got to train there and find resources along with the forest acting as a sort of barrier between the kingdom's borders. Overall, there were more benefits for there to be the forest than for it to not be.

Another thing was that Lin Wu had figured out the reason why the Ling Kingdom had declared the part of the millennium forest as a forbidden zone, even though there were many stronger sects that could go there.

The reason was simple… they simply could not be bothered to investigate it further. The stronger cultivators would not find it worth their time while the weak ones would only be in danger. Thus they decided the best option would be to declare it as a forbidden zone and save the paperwork.

This became advantageous to Lin Wu though, so he couldn't complain. This was all that Lin Wu thought while he was traveling. He was now about halfway to the millennium forest, and more than a day had passed since he left the sect.

'Wonder how Shirong is doing…' Lin Wu thought before leaving instructions to his main body to return to the forest and letting his consciousness to go back to his avatar. 

The moment Lin Wu opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by people.

"Huh? We're in a city?" Lin Wu realized.

Shirong was walking through the streets and Lin Wu was currently kept inside the ring. But even then the passive perception of the avatar was focused on the outside while recording everything that he saw.

"Let's see what all happened in the past few days…" Lin Wu muttered to himself as he went through the memories.

Shirong had traveled quite a distance and had also slaughtered a lot of beasts, providing Lin Wu's avatar with some spirit Qi. Although most of it was used up in flying, he still got to save about 10% from all that.

They were now in a different kingdom that went by the name 'Ivory Heron Dynasty.' This was a kingdom that was about the same size as that of the Ling Kingdom and had a similar power dynamic as well.

Though there was one thing that Lin Wu found to be different.

"That's a lot of ducks."
