Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 389 - Unexpected Cultivation Upgrades?

After Lin Wu reeled from the shock that an autopilot was better at cultivating than him, he quickly got to upgrading it.

"Welp, time to upgrade. System, you know what to do." Lin Wu said.

~Ding~

Lin Wu's body let out strong waves of spirit Qi at first, but it soon stabilized. His current breakthrough was very fast and didn't take as much time as before.

~huu~

Lin Wu let out a breath and assessed his current strength.

"Hmm… it doesn't feel that different than before. Though I guess I'll need to fully test the power out later. Buuuut… I got enough for another upgrade. So why wait?" Lin Wu said before smiling.

He had originally expected there to only be enough spirit Qi for one upgrade, but there was more than that, luckily. And now that he had it, he thought it would be a shame to not use it.

"System… Do it again!" Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

~HONGLONG~

Unlike the last upgrade though, Lin Wu's body reacted rather violently. Along with its usual light, his body was letting out scorching radiation that was damaging the formations around him.

Lin Wu himself could feel a bit of pain, but he did not mind it as much as it was way below the usual kind of pain he was used to. If anything, it was more like the pain one got when one had too much energy. For example, during a caffeine rush.

"Ah, I need to let this out… too much power…" Lin Wu muttered to himself before teleporting to the top of the Tomb.

~shua~

Reappearing on the top of the tomb, Lin Mu's body looked like a beacon. The two nests made by Lin Wu's two bird subordinates, the Hook Winged Swan and Gale Wind Sparrow, could also be seen. They had gotten quite big than before and even looked a bit decorated.

The two beasts had evidently added some trinkets, such as spirit tools and shiny jewelry, to their nests. The nests were pretty much the same as normal bird nests, except they were a couple of thousand times bigger and made from spirit wood.

~Huala~

Lin Wu's body automatically started to suck in the atmospheric spirit Qi into it and a small vortex formed above his head. It was not as big as during a spirit Qi infusion when he broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, but it was still faster than his normal cultivation speed.

"Hang on… the spirit Qi… it's not going to my Nascent Soul?" Lin Wu suddenly realized.

He looked within his Dantian and saw the bloodline that represented the Unknown bloodline was reacting and absorbing the spirit Qi that was currently being taken in by Lin Wu's body. Lin Wu looked at the other Nascent Soul and realized that it was this Nascent Soul which had originally absorbed all the spirit Qi for the break through.

"Huh? If only one Nascent Soul is enough to breakthrough then what's the function of the other Nascent Soul?" Lin Wu wondered.

He had thought that the spirit Qi was split between the two Nascent Soul's equally, but here it turned out to be different. Only his Nascent soul, which represented the Crimson Eyed Emerald Worm Bloodline, had actually broken through to the Adolescent Soul stage.

The unknown Bloodlines' Nascent soul still had the same level of spirit Qi as that of an Infant Soul stage. Plus, looking at their sizes, it was quite obvious. The green human Nascent Soul was looking like a teenager right now, while the Black human one was still that of a baby.

~woong~Woong~woong~

A strange sound came from Lin Wu's body as it continued to absorb the spirit Qi from the environment. 

***

In the eastern part of the Millennium forest, two ape beasts came out of their caves and looked in the direction of the Taiji Celestial's cave.

"What is happening, father?" The Demon Spine Ape questioned.

~sigh~

"Seems like we underestimated that even more than I had thought we did… this spirit Qi fluctuation… he's definitely having a breakthrough." The Slim Arm Ape said.

"A breakthrough? How can he have a breakthrough this fast? It hasn't even been six months since he reached the Nascent Soul realm?" The Demon Spine Ape questioned, feeling shocked.

The slim arm ape simply shook his head and looked at the distance.

"There are many opportunities hidden in this forest, my son. While they are hidden to most, they will show up for those who are fated or who strive to find it." The Slim Arm ape said in a melancholic tone.

The Demon Spine Ape heard his father's words and felt a bit confused, but then he thought for a minute before realizing something. And when he did so, his eyes went wide.

"Is that why… why mother came here?" The Demon spine ape questioned.

"I don't know for sure either, but now it does seem likely. When I was still a tamed beast under my master, I had seen the human world. I have seen and heard about their legends and myths… most of the human world thinks of Millennium forest as just any other forest filled with beasts.

In fact, the strongest powers of this world don't even put this place into their eyes." The Slim arm ape replied.

"The strongest powers?" The demon spine ape asked with apprehension in his voice.
