Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 581 - The Oldest Member Of The Frozen Cloud Sect

Hearing Wang Xiong's words, Ye Jin could finally make sense of some of the things.

"So this means… the patriarch has already decided to groom you as his successor?" Ye Jin asked.

"Indeed… well the chances are quite likely. But with the current split in our sect, there are chances that we may have two more candidates. One each from the three divisions. There is a chance the elders might argue for this soon, and the matter might be put forth in our annual sect meeting next month." Wang Xiong added.

"Will that be good, though? Our sect has had the tradition of the chief disciple being the next patriarch, hasn't it? Changing it like that will be against what our ancestors decided." Ye Jin said, remembering some of the doctrines of the sect that prevented traditions from being changed arbitrarily.

~huu~

"I honestly don't know. As long as the supreme elder gains support from half of the elders, they will have to agree with the change. The ancestors will probably be informed soon as well.

That is something Guardian Yun will do himself. He is the only one who can make direct contact with them in normal times. The others are prohibited from disturbing them as long as it's not an emergency." Wang Xiong explained.

"Hmm... That makes sense. Now that we know more about him, it does make sense with him having that much influence. He is literally the oldest member of the sect." Ye Jin agreed.

While Wang Xiong was having his conversation with Ye Jin, Lin Wu was having a different one from Yun Bai.

In the isolation field, Lin Wu looked around and could feel the effect in place.

"Now that they're gone… you can remove that mask. I reckon you don't like humans seeing your face?" Lin Wu spoke.

~clack~

The clasp hidden at the back of Yun Bai's head was opened and the mask was removed, revealing his face.

Similar to his white hair, his eye brows were white as well and he had a white mustache that looked like fox whiskers. Then there was a patch of fine white hair at his chin, making it look like he had a goatee. 

His ears, which were hidden underneath his hair, were revealed as well. They were shaped like fox ears and were white, though there was a small earring hanging from one of them. 

Yun Bai's pupils were a faint red, almost bordering on pink, and were vertical. Overall, while he did have a humanoid shape, he didn't fully have their features. As long as he wore a mask, no one would suspect him, but once it was off, people would certainly be creeped out.

"The humans… they like to judge and reject. Their actions are often not well thought out." Yun Bai spoke.

"That's right. They can be foolish… and smart at the same time. But their minds force them to hate the creatures that they cannot understand or is unlike them." Lin Wu replied.

"So you know it as well… you've lived as long as me, haven't you?" Yun Bai questioned.

'YES! GOT HIM!' Upon hearing this Lin Wu secretly exclaimed in his heart.

"As long as you? No… try a few hundred times more than that." Lin Wu answered.

Yun Bai's eyes went wide upon hearing this. But then he felt doubtful.

"That can't be… if that were possible, you wouldn't be able to exist on this planet. It would reject you too…" Yun Bai said, piquing Lin Wu's interest.

"Perhaps this might help convince you and answer some of your doubts." Lin Wu said and produced a crystal slip from his body.

"What's this?" Yun Bai asked as he took the crystal slip from Lin Wu.

"Just use your spirit sense, you'll know. And don't worry, I won't harm you. I don't need to use a sneaky method like this for that, you know." Lin Wu replied.

"Very well…" Yun Bai said, and used his spirit sense to activate the crystal slip.

After he did, Yun Bai went silent and Lin Wu simply observed him for the time being.

'This will take him a while. Just how much did you cram into that slip system?' Lin Wu asked.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The information that the host sorted, some information about the Taiji celestial, and modified memories about the host made using the locations taken from the experiences of the Skull god.

"Huh… so you added that one. Yeah, that will take him some time to go through. That man's pretty much just watching a hundred hour long documentary." Lin Wu muttered.

He went back to watching Yun Bai while also analyzing the area around them. He had not gotten to see it properly, but now that Yun Bai was busy, he could see all the things that existed in there.

The things that caught his attention were none other than the many markers that were located on the mountain.

"Let's see what things are hiding here…" Lin Wu said as he spread his spirit sense.

A few seconds later, though, he furrowed his brows… or the brow crystals.

"Chickens? Ducks? Carps? And that's a farm… this guy farms here?" Lin Wu was a bit confused.

But then he sensed the cultivation base of the 'farm animals' and realized that they were not even close to a farm animal.

"Goddamn! These chickens are at the Nascent soul realm… and so are these ducks and carps." Lin Wu was surprised.

He was surprised because they didn't act like actual beasts in the Nascent soul realm at all. They looked just as dumb as any normal farm animal.

"What are they system?" Lin Wu asked.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The chickens are a type of beast called Thousand feather chickens and are luxury meat among the aristocrats and people of the sects. 

The ducks are called as Grey Beak ducks and their eggs are said to be one of the best to make century eggs out of in the cultivation world.

As for the carps, they are called as Silver Scale carps and are very expensive, with each carp being at least a peak grade spirit stone in value. They also eat silver as food.
