Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

While Lin Wu was going through the records, Yun Bai was mediating. 

He rarely even came to his clan and it was mostly once a year or when some problem occurred. Nothing unexpected had happened in the past few decades and thus he only did his normal annual visits.

While the cultivation environment of his clan and the peak where he lived at the sect were nearly the same, he still felt a lot better here. Thus, mediating here gave him a sense of calmness and helped him gather his thoughts.

There was a lot that had happened all at once in the last two months and he hadn't got the time to process it fast enough. But now he finally got the chance.

'The Frozen Cloud sect will be heading for a time of conflict soon enough. I doubt the earlier agreements will stand and if it really ends up in a full on battle, I will have to stand behind who I chose.' Yun Bai thought.

While he was more inclined towards Wang Xiong and the patriarch of the Frozen Cloud sect, he didn't know if he would get to do that. 

"Hopefully they never invoke that clause or I would have to stand by and watch the sect burn…" Wang Xiong muttered to himself as he opened his eyes.

He looked at the rather unstable but talented beast that was sleeping near the pedestal.

'Never would have thought I would see such a mutated beast in my lifetime. Grandfather used to talk about his time in the Immortal realm and how there were peerless beasts that started their own sects or even ruled entire worlds.

Their talent was kinda similar to this, I guess. Even I myself cannot compare to this beast if I consider the age and the speed at which he has progressed.' Yun Bai wondered.

His eyes then moved past Tim and went to the massive beast standing a hundred meters away. Lin Wu's body was large enough that his head was still visible behind the large shelves.

'And then there's him… an enigma that I cannot estimate nor understand. Hopefully, my decision to join him is correct, and he allows us to leave the world…' Yun Bai thought as he let out a long sigh.

~HONG~

And just as he did that, the Ten Thousand Bloodline Pedestal in the center let out a humming sound. Runes appeared on top of it and it started to shine as well. The glassy stone that Yun Bai had pressed into the pedestal came back up and floated on top.

"It's done," Yun Bai said and stopped up.

~thud~

"Oops!" Lin Wu said as he turned back and accidentally touched a shelf.

It was about to tilt and fall, but he managed to stop it in time. 

"Sorry about that." Lin Wu said and walked towards the pedestal. "So, it's done?" he asked.

"Seems like it." Yun Bai replied.

"Well, let's see what we find then." Lin Wu prompted.

Yun Bai nodded his head and went to touch the glassy stone.

~shua~

The stone let out a bright light and runes appeared in the air. Yun Bai pointed one hand towards Lin Wu and a streak of light went to Lin Wu while another one went to his own head.

~DING~

——

DATA TRANSMISSION INTERCEPTED: Accept- Y/N?

"Go ahead," Lin Wu permitted.

Lin Wu then felt a bunch of information appearing in his mind.

"Copper Hide Weasel… Magma Gar Beast… Sky Wing Wolf? Glitter Gold butterfly?!" Lin Wu saw through the memories.

By the end of it, he was left utterly confused.

"Huh… these bloodlines don't really make sense… excluding the first one, of course." Lin Wu spoke.

Yun Bai had a similar confused expression on his face and didn't know what to make of it.

"Seems like the pedestal truly didn't have the complete information about his bloodline and only pointed to the other bloodlines that were the closest to it. It could only recognize the Copper Hide Weasel bloodline accurately." Yun Bai stated.

"Mmmhmm… but even then… the three bloodlines have nothing to do with weasels." Lin Wu said.

"They might be linked through distant ancestry. We can't really assume much. The complexity of bloodlines is something that many fail to grasp despite being very high in cultivation." Yun Bai replied.

~Sigh~

"Well we were just trying anyway. At least we know that his bloodline is far complex and also strong in that aspect." Lin Wu commented.

"That's true. It being unable to be detected only means that the beasts' he has awakened bloodlines from are either very strong, such that the pedestal has no records, or he has mutated enough to make his own bloodline." Yun Bai stated.

Lin Wu nodded his head as this was in line with what the System had told before. 

'The Myriad Obsidian Weasel Bloodline might truly be an original one.' He thought.

"Though…" Yun Bai suddenly spoke.

"Yes?" Lin Wu looked with an inquisitive gaze.

"Do you want to try out the Ten thousand bloodline pedestal?" Yun Bai asked curiously.

Yun Bai would be lying if he said that he was not interested in knowing more about Lin Wu and what kind of a beast he was. His aura could actually affect his own bloodline and made him feel alarmed when he fought with him.

This was enough to pull his full interest and desire to know more.

Lin Wu thought to himself for a bit before nodding his head.

"Might as well try. I wonder if this thing even has a record of my bloodline." Lin Wu said and went to stand in the circle.

"I'll activate it then." Yun Bai said and touched the glassy stone.

~SHUA~

The pedestal became active a gain and sent out three beams of light towards Lin Wu. But unlike before, it didn't stop there.

"Oh?" Lin Wu raised his brows.

After the first three lights, it kept on sending more and more lights for a grad total of ten lights.

"What is happening?" Yun Bai was confused too now.
