Chapter 650 - Looking Through The Records
Lin Wu continued to read through the jade slip and got to know a few things.
"Huh… seems like they stored the logs of all that this tool was used on. Interesting…" Lin Wu muttered to himself, knowing that this will be a great find.
He soon got engrossed in it and hours passed by. By the twelve hour mark, the system gave him a notification.
~DING~

"Ah, perfect." Lin Wu said, before turning to look at the pedestal.
Tim was already asleep and that was entirely fine, as long as he didn't move from the circle. The Pedestal was still scanning him and it didn't seem like it was done.
"Is there any way to tell how far along it has come?" Lin Wu questioned.
"No… all we can do is wait. It will tell us when it's done." Yun Bai answered.
"I see… but does it usually take this long?" Lin Wu questioned.
"From what I've read, it should not. But it might be due to the complexity of the weasel's bloodline, along with its unique mutation." Yun Bai answered again.
"That does make sense. Guess we'll wait more." Lin Wu nodded and went back to reading.
Since the system had already finished scanning, Lin Wu had a more ready source of information and he found it easy to browse through. There was a lot more information here than he had expected.
For example, Lin Wu got to know more about the beasts that the people of the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber had gathered and he also got to know of the different bloodlines that existed in this world.
Then Lin Wu went to the other sections where there was different kinds of information. There was some about the Frost Foxes and how they were a very strong breed of demon beasts with their strongest members being Immortals.
Lin Wu learned how one of their clans was captured by an individual cultivator of the demonic path. He sealed their cultivation bases and sold them to the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber, who gladly purchased them.
There were actually many clans of the Frost Foxes, and Yun Bai simply belonged to one of the weaker ones that was captured. Once they were captured, they were basically slave soldiers for the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber for the most part, though the female Frost Foxes also served as courtesans due to their beauty.
Their clan, which used to have a population of a few thousand was reduced greatly after just a hundred years of conflict. Three hundred years later, they were finally brought to the Ming Dao world to capture and pillage it.
Lin Wu then moved onto the information about the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber.
"Oh? Now this is interesting…" Lin Wu muttered as he read some intriguing things.
The Thirteenth Thunder Chamber was actually part of an even greater organization called as the Great Thunder Chamber. They were one of the bigger organizations of the Immortal world, dabbling in both the white and Grey areas of business.
They were primarily merchants, but also had some departments that worked as mercenaries and killers. The Thirteenth Thunder Chamber was their department that worked as world raiders and invaded different worlds that were unmarked by the Four Guardian beasts.
"Seems like the guardian beasts hold a far greater position in the universe than I first thought…" Lin Wu muttered. "System, show me if there is any more information about them." He ordered.
The system quickly went through the data banks and showed Lin Wu the information he had asked for.
"Hmm… let's see…" Lin Wu started to read through it.
"Damn! They're the bigwigs of the immortal world." Lin Wu realized.
He found out that the Four Guardian beasts were one of the top powers of the Immortal worlds controlled a large part of the immortal realm. They were also considered the orthodox power and were often worshiped by a lot of people, which included both cultivators and mortals.
They were one of the few beast clans that had risen to prominence greatly, such that other races revered them as well. Their power went deep and Lin Wu couldn't tell how strong their powers truly were.
The records simply mentioned that most sects of the immortal world were nothing in front of them and even the strongest immortal realm cultivators would not dare challenge them directly.
Besides, since they were considered to be orthodox, a lot of righteous powers supported them and were in alliance with them. Overall, they were good and protected the weaker worlds from being destroyed.
The worlds that had their temples were under their banner and anyone that dared to attack them would have to face their wrath. While they didn't interfere in the internal matters and the normal trades that happened in the world, they would not allow battles on unequal nature to happen.
Lin Wu could not fully understand why this was or why they had such rules, but he could guess that there was a lot more to them than was written there.
'They definitely have some advantage or benefit that they gain from this. I doubt they would protect weaker worlds for nothing. They may be taking tributes or something. Though that doesn't make sense for the low leveled worlds since they have no interaction with them other than the temples.' Lin Wu thought.
There were a lot of questions in his mind about the four guardian beast clans, and this information was simply not enough for him to be satisfied.
"How about the Skull god, is there any information about him?" Lin Wu asked.
The system responded promptly and presented him with the information he had asked for.
"Oho? There are actually records about him." Lin Wu was a bit surprised.
He read through the records and it was mostly general information that he already knew.. The gist of it was that the Skull god was a wanted criminal and was hunted down by most of the righteous powers of the immortal realm.
