Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu's wait lasted just five more minutes as Tim finally appeared in front of him.

"Did you get those marbles?" Lin Wu questioned.

He could care less about the flowers themselves as they weren't as useful to him. While he still did consume them, they only gave him some spirit Qi and vital Qi in exchange. Lin Wu didn't eat any of the Millennium Parrot Bamboo eggs right now since he didn't want to eat one that could potentially hatch.

Though Lin Wu was curious about what would happen if he ate one of them. He had seen Tim eat the first one and he was forced to vomit it out. This was a highly unusual occurrence, considering its physique and cultivation.

Thus Lin Wu avoided eating it right now, even if he was sure that his body might be able to digest it.

After all, the way his body worked was vastly different from the average spirit beast. Lin Wu had managed to digest literally inedible things, thus something organic like an egg would be digested as well.

Tim nodded his head in response and then spat out something.

~BLEGH!~

~tak~tak~tak~

Out of his mouth, twenty three Millennium Parrot Bamboo fell out. They were covered in spit through and Lin Wu had to clean it up first.

~SWOOSH~

He sprayed them with water and got them all clean before finally checking them all. 

"Good!" Lin Wu said, seeing the biggest egg of them all. 

This Millennium Parrot Bamboo egg was twice as big as the biggest egg Lin Wu had gotten and thus had the greatest probability of hatching.

"System, what's the probability of this one?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The probability of this Millennium Parrot Bamboo egg successful hatching is 22.81%.

——

Seeing the system's answer, Lin Wu couldn't help but smile.

"Excellent! If I keep all of the eggs now, there is bound to be at least one that will hatch into the bamboo spirit." Lin Wu said.

He stored the Millennium Parrot Bamboo eggs away and decided to incubate them at the tomb where the spirit Qi was the thickest. He didn't believe the yield couldn't be increased by supporting the eggs more.

'Once at least one of them has hatched, I'll be free to try and eat the others. Wonder what I'll get from eating one of them.' Lin Wu wondered.

Done with this, Lin Wu checked the map to see if he had missed any more flowers with the eggs, but could not see any more left.

"Seems like our work here done. The flowers with the eggs are very rare among the normal ones and are gone now that I've plucked them all out." Lin Wu said after observing the map.

He then reactivated the route to the Tian clan and started moving in its direction. Tim followed after him and the two of them traveled for another hour or so before they reached the territory of the Tian clan.

"Don't get any closer or the humans will find out about us." Lin Wu warned Tim.

"Okay~ I sleep." Tim said before he curled up on a tree directly. 

Since the trunk of the tree was thick, it was far more stable and could directly bear his weight now. Lin Wu nodded his head and found Tim to be getting a lot more presentable now. Though he was still worried that he might throw caution to the wind and pounce on a few humans as a snack.

~shua~

Lin Wu set up a formation array around them for that very reason and created an area that would not be detected or be seen. 

"This should be enough…" Lin Wu said seeing the formation array that directly hid the area that Tim was in.

Lin Wu checked the map and saw that the actual location of the Tian clan branch was further in. The current part that he was in was the boundary of their formation array. It was a formation array that detected who and what entered the territory.

Lin Wu of course, got the system to take over the formation array and hid in plain sight.

"Without the system's help in things like this, it would take me a long, long time to do the same." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he let his spirit sense spread.

~humm~

His spirit sense spread across a wide area as the map started to update again. This time, Lin Wu finally got to see what the Tian clan looked like.

"Huh… they got some serious security compared to the other clans, not to mention their clan is pretty large. I think it's bigger than a few cultivation sects in size too." Lin Wu said, seeing the many buildings of the Tian clan.

While they were not built on a mountain peak like most sects, the buildings still exuded a level of majesty. The entire clan was hidden in a curtain of mist and was surrounded by a bamboo forest that further enhanced its secrecy.

'Plus, this is merely a branch of the Tian clan. Who knows just how vast the true Tian clan is…' Lin Wu thought.

He continued onwards and saw the main courtyard of the Tian clan in the range of his spirit sense.

"Hmm, this should be far enough. Time to let the spirit sense handle the rest." Lin Wu said as he quickly checked all the people that were in the area.

"System, scan the Tian clan in detail." Lin Wu ordered.

He then checked the map and saw the various people that lived in the Tian clan. For a simple branch clan, they seemingly had a vast number of people in their clan. Though their cultivation bases weren't too shocking for Lin Wu.

"Hmm… so there are four Nascent soul realm cultivators, hundred and fifteen Core Condensation realm cultivators, and then over seven hundred Qi refining realm cultivators, in addition to several servants that are just normal humans.." Lin Wu took note.
