Chapter 573 - Ye Jin Joins The List And Political Trouble
There were many thoughts going through Ye Jin's mind about how it all could go wrong. A spike was currently placed on her forehead and Lin Wu was doing the same thing that he had done for Wang Xiong.
He decided to give her a little reward as well as it would only be beneficial if she were in favor of him.
'Unnecessary conflict will just be bothersome. It's way easier if they think better of me.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
~shua~
Ye Jin who was uneasy all this time, suddenly felt her fear fading away. Instead, what replaced it was peace… and a sense of belonging. She had not felt like this in a long time and only Wang Xiong could provide this to her after she left her family.
But now she could feel the same from Lin Wu and she didn't know why. At the same time, she felt even closer to Wang Xiong.
'I feel more… connected. Is this what Wang Xiong feels like too?' Ye Jin wondered.
Her cultivation base started to increase as well and in just five minutes, she had broken through to the next stage.
"I reached the Child Soul Stage already?" Ye Jin was stunned by seeing just how it was.
She had practiced for years on end to reach the point she was and all it took was a few minutes of help from Lin Wu for her to progress.
'Just what mysteries does this senior hold? The Taiji celestial's disciple is indeed not simple.' Ye Jin thought, recalling all the murals about the Taiji Celestial that she had seen along with the others in the tomb.
~huu~
'Another one added…' Lin Wu internally muttered as the list of subordinates updated.
~Ding~

Ye Jin was the eighth subordinate Lin Wu had added and with each addition, his scope of power increased a well. After all, with all his subordinates around, he could control a far bigger area also gain more information through them.
Lin Wu even had plans for the next upgrade of the Trojan. He wanted the system to add many more functionalities, but they would take a while to be developed and competed. It essentially needed additional Computational AIs to be unlocked, and they only increased with Lin Wu's increase in cultivation.
This was mostly because they needed a higher bandwidth to function and the system itself could only do that when Lin Wu himself was stronger.
"System, how many more AIs do you need for the Trojan upgrade?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: Currently the system has about six computational AIs unlocked and for the next upgrade of the Trojan, it has been estimated that it would need at least nine of them. The Host will need to reach the Dao Treading Realm to be able to unlock more all of them, though, with each sub-stage of the Dao Shell realm, more of them will be added.
——
"Hmm… so seven at the Shell Completion stage, eight at the Shell Expansion stage and nine at the Dao Treading realm… that should be fine." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
Ye Jin and Wang Xiong had gained better control over their abilities by now, and it looked like Wang Xiong even managed to communicate with Pei Jun.
"It's amazing senior! I talked with Pei Jun just now. He said they are going to cultivate there for a while and comprehend the inheritance." Wang Xiong said.
"Yes, I told them to focus on learning it first. The others should be done after a while as well and you will be able to talk with them too." Lin Wu replied.
"I see… if we only had this ability before, then our problems would have been solved." Wang Xiong said, his tone turning a little sad.
"Oh? What happened? I've seen some changes in the Frozen Cloud sect and conflict too. What's the problem exactly?" Lin Wu took this opportunity to extract more information.
~Sigh~
"It's a long story…" Wang Xiong then went on to explain how all the things happened.
The people of the Di Guan mines were forced to run away due to a beast, and the terror caused by it. He also told him about the spies they caught and the Agitation jades they found.
After the first one that Wang Xiong got from the spy, his people managed to find three more of them hidden around the cave. But despite that, they were unable to stop the beast that was causing the problems.
They knew that the beast was at the Nascent Soul realm, but its speed was far too fast for them to be able to deal with it. Plus, it had the ability to just dig into the rocks and run away when it felt like there was a trap there.
Wang Xiong told Lin Wu how the Frozen Cliff division caused conflict for them using proxies and their current situation, where they were close to losing a lot of money and resources.
It was a complex political situation that even Lin Wu didn't want to hear more about, but did so for the sake of it.
But at the end, Lin Wu spoke again.
"I think I can help you."
