Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

791 Exp Bot Shirong

After watching everything for a couple of hours, Lin Wu finally understood why the spear had so much spirit Qi and vital energy hidden in it.

"My man's been using anything he got, to feed the spear and try to awaken it." Lin Wu concluded.

Lin Wu had expected for Shirong to try that, but this was way beyond that expectation.

'I think he might have broken through if he used those resources on himself though…' Lin Wu reckoned.

"Still… this works in my favor anyway." Lin Wu said with a chuckle.

He looked to Shirong, who was still in a system induced trance.

"That should be enough for now. Release him System." Lin Wu commanded.

~shua~

As soon as he did that, a wave of energy spread from Shirong and he opened his eyes.

"HAA! HAA! HAAA!" He panted loudly and fanatically checked his body.

"Wha… what happened?" Shirong questioned, finding his body to be fine.

"I felt something in your body earlier that was unusual and checked it." Lin Wu said, much to Shirong's surprise. "Did you know you have a bloodline?" Lin Wu questioned according to a plan.

"W-what? I have a bloodline?" Shirong asked, feeling confused.

"Indeed… and I don't mean a human bloodline like your Ji clan's. But rather a beast bloodline." Lin Wu replied.

Shirong furrowed his brows in response, showing that he truly didn't know. Lin Wu of course, knew this all, but just wanted an excuse for the two hour long trance that he had put Shirong in.

"I… don't know… I've never assimilated any bloodline." Shirong said.

"Well… seems like you consumed something that held a bloodline in it." Lin Wu stated. "It has not awakened though, which is why you didn't sense it either."

"It's not awakened?" Shirong was surprised, but then understood. 'No wonder I couldn't feel it.' He thought.

But then a slight discontent appeared on his face.

"This beast bloodline… what is it?" Shirong questioned, wanting to know more.

He knew about bloodline and did intend on assimilating a good one in the future. It wasn't that he never had any opportunity to assimilate a beast's bloodline. He was from the Ji clan and could get as many beast bloodline crystals as he wanted.

But the issue was to find something that was worth his time and was complimentary to his cultivation technique. He didn't want to assimilate a bloodline that was not that useful and barely assisted him.

Thus, hearing that he now had a bloodline suddenly was unexpected for him. He only hoped that it was something good.

"It is a bloodline of the Thunderpool Serpent." Lin Wu answered.

Shirong furrowed his brows, not recognizing the beast.

Lin Wu saw this conflict on Shirong's face and knew that he was trying to tell what beast it was.

"Fear not, it is a decent bloodline. And it matches your cultivation technique, too." Lin Wu relieved Shirong.

"Really?" Shirong was surprised.

"Yes. In fact, it was the passive effect of the object that gave you this bloodline that you experience a rapid breakthrough." Lin Wu stated.

Hearing this, Shirong suddenly recalled something.

"That… purple crystal…" Shirong remembered.

"Indeed. You seemed to have assimilated the power from a fossilized egg of the Thunderpool serpent." Lin Wu answered.

"A fossilized egg? Just how old was it?" Shirong questioned.

"At least twenty thousand years old. It is a beast that has gone extinct in this world." Lin Wu answered.

Lin Wu then went on to explain some information about the Thunderpool serpent to Shirong, who was glad to hear it all. He felt greatly relaxed hearing that the bloodline he had assimilated was so strong and could even help him absorb lightning.

"Seems like I was lucky." Shirong said after hearing it all.

"Indeed." Lin Wu nodded his head.

"But then… I still need to awaken the bloodline to make proper use of it. If its dormant like this, it is almost the same as having no bloodline." Shirong spoke before looking at Lin Wu. "Do you know of a method to awaken this bloodline?" he questioned.

To Shirong, Lin Wu was probably the greatest expert on this world now and possibly the most knowledgeable, too. If Lin Wu didn't know it, he didn't know if anyone else would know about it or not.

"I do indeed." Lin Wu replied.

"What is it, senior?" Shirong asked.

"Well… you simply do what the Thunderpool Serpent specializes in… Consume Tribulation Lightning." Lin Wu replied, making Shirong smile wryly.

He had survived Tribulation lightning before, but knew that doing so again without the spear was not an easy task. Then there was also the fact that he would need to find someone else that was having their breakthrough to get the tribulation lightning.

'I can get the clan to help me out with this, but then… there is no guarantee I will survive that. The punishment tribulation lightning is far stronger than normal tribulation lightning.' Shirong thought to himself.

He knew there was the Tribulation attenuation platforms, but then they would just weaken the lightning and wouldn't really help Shirong at all. He would need someone that was undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation without any help.

"Ahahah~" Lin Wu laughed seeing Shirong.

It was unusual for Shirong to act like this as Lin Wu recalled how he used to behave in the past. Only with Lin Wu who Shirong considered to be a great senior, would he act a bit meekly.

"Don't worry. I can help you out with that." Lin Wu spoke.

"REALLY SENIOR!?" Shirong asked excitedly.

"Yes. Though it will take a while." Lin Wu spoke. "After all, we'll need for someone to breakthrough to the Nascent soul realm and make use of their tribulation."

"I see… I shall be eternally grateful for that, then." Shirong cupped his hands and bowed his head.

"Mm… for you now, you can focus on taking the Sky Bright Daoist's Trials. I'll inform you when someone is having a breakthrough." Lin Wu stated.

"Alright, senior. I shall wait for that day then." Shirong said.

"You won't wait, you will work. Go off now!" Lin Wu shooed him away.

~shua~

A teleportation formation sent the man to the shrine. Lin Wu had already sent a message to the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk about letting Shirong take the trials before and thus the beast was ready with a room for the man.

Letting Shirong get strong worked in Lin Wu's favor thus he didn't mind investing more in him.

"He's already shown his worth as an exp bot… he'll hunt more for me later… heheheh~" Lin Wu chucked to himself as he imagined Shirong bringing him the spear full of that sweet-sweet spirit Qi.

It would increase Lin Wu's own rate of cultivation and allow him to focus on comprehending the Dao Traces more too. After all, if he wanted to progress further, he now needed to condense his own Dao Embryo.

And doing that was not an easy task at all.

So far, Lin Wu had greatly depended on the system to cultivate and progress fast. But he had reached a point, where he needed to work on his own and use his own self to grow.

Only after comprehending the Dao Traces that were compatible with him would he be able to form a Dao Embryo.

Then there was also the fact that he didn't have a single Dao Shell. He had two of them. Thus, he didn't know how his breakthrough would exactly work. He didn't know whether he would have to condense one Dao Embryo or two to successfully breakthrough.

According to the system, just one should be enough, but there was no grantee that it would not work in his favor.

Then there was also the randomness of the Nascent soul of the Unknown bloodline. For a while it had shown no movement, but Lin Wu didn't know what it could do.

"Let's just focus on one thing at once then…" Lin Wu muttered to himself as he looked at his list of tasks.

He stared at it for a few seconds and saw the next task.

"The Lian clan is the next now…" Lin Wu said as he sent a message to the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape.

The beast did it work and went to get the Lian Clan's representatives who were currently roaming around one of the orchards in the forest.

Lian Xiaojian had started to like the forest quite bit now and eating the spirit fruits while talking a walk in the orchards had become his daily pass time. He had also felt like his bottleneck was loosening the more time he spent in the forest.

'Would it be possible for me to build a palace here?' Lian Xiaojian wondered to himself.

Accompanying him were Kai Li and elder Ruanjian. Elder Kai Li was enjoying her time just like Lian Xiaojian but was also working her machinations cleverly. She was greatly interested in the growth of the Millennium forest and the secrets that it hid.

She was greatly looking forward to meeting the king of the forest.

Elder Ruanjian on the other hand, was mostly silent and kept a passive appearance. He didn't interfere in anything that Lian Xiaojian and Kai Li did and left them to their virtues. He simply followed them along and made sure that no danger came to them; just like had been ordered by their patriarch.

He was duty bound and would do his very best to fulfill that duty.

The elder was following his young master when he felt a presence appearing behind them, prompting him to turn quickly.

"The King has summoned the envoys of the Lian clan."
