Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu thought about what to do as he crossed over the fourth and fifth rings of the forest.

"Hmm… the best way to solve this would be to have other beasts at the Dao Shell realm that can suppress the Nascent soul realm beasts." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he arrived at the Taiji Celestial's Tomb.

While this was the best option for him, he would need the beasts who can reach that. And that… was not easy.

Often, the things that were the best were not easy.

Though it was not as if Lin Wu had no possible candidates in his mind either. While thinking of this all, he heard a few voices.

"Master! You're back." 

Lin Wu turned to look at the sky and saw the two bird beasts, the High Wind Emeraldine Sparrow and The Emeraldine Wing Swan descending from the top of the tomb. His spirit sense quickly scanned them and Lin Wu could tell that they had a slight progress from the last time he saw them.

'Cultivation for other nascent soul realm beasts is indeed not as fast as me… even if they have a partial form of my bloodline, it cannot compare to my own.' Lin Wu thought.

"Yes, I am." Lin Wu causally replied to the two bird beasts that landed in front of him.

"Where did you go, master? I thought you would be back earlier." The High Wind Emeraldine Sparrow questioned.

"I went to do some work… and forge some new alliances." Lin Wu answered.

"New alliances?" The two bird beasts looked on in surprise.

"I'll explain the details in a bit once everyone is present in the tomb. There are a lot of things to go through." Lin Wu stated.

"As you command, Master." The Emeraldine Wing Swan replied.

"That Emeraldine Horn Beetle is in the tomb right now and so is the lizard that you allowed to live there." The High Wind Emeraldine Sparrow said.

"Oh, they are. That saves a bit of a time." Lin Wu causally replied as he teleported into his personal hall.

The two bird beasts did the same and went to the main hall, where they usually did the meetings. Lin Wu on the other hand, was checking up on the Avatar.

"Let's see what kind of a progress you've had in the time I was busy." Lin Wu muttered as he gazed at the coiled up avatar.

Its body lightly glowed as the spirit Qi swirled around it in a harmonic manner. Every so often, it would be pulled into the avatar's body to be absorbed into the Dantian and further its cultivation.

"System, show me the avatar's data and what changes have been made in that time." Lin Wu ordered.

—— 

Seeing the two small but significant changes, Lin Wu was pleasantly surprised. 

"The avatar actually gained over two million spirit Qi units in that time. That's a decent increase… no wait, isn't that higher than my normal? How did that happen?" Lin Wu wondered.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The beasts presented some gifts to the avatar in the absence of the host and the avatar ate them according to the protocols established. This allowed more spirit Qi being gained than the estimated calculations.

——

"Huh? Why did they give the gifts?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

NOTIFICATION: would the host like to view the recorded video logs? Y/N

——

"Yeah go head." Lin Wu said.

His vision changed, and he saw how things happened. 

The ones who had given the avatar the gifts turned out to be none other than the two Emeraldine Monkeys who had recently broken through.

"Oh, so it's them." Lin Wu realized.

The two beasts came to the avatar to thank them for giving them the opportunity to cultivate this far and how grateful they were for it. The avatar replied perfunctorily and the two Emeraldine Monkeys retreated, knowing better than to disturb either master for longer than necessary.

The avatar thus gained two spirit fruits that the Emeraldine Monkeys had specially cultivated. Technically, they were owned by Lin Wu, but he had assigned different portions of resources to be given to the beasts.

That way, they would stay loyal to him and would also be able to steadily increase their powers. Hence, this situation could be said to be an initial investment returning to him in a short time.

The log ended there and Lin Wu was back to normal. 

The second change that had happened in this time was the increase in the Undaunted Sapphire Body art.

'How did it increase by another percent?' Lin Wu was a bit confused.

In the past ten years, the Avatar had gone past his main body's level, but that had taken ten years. Even with that, the increase would not be more than one or two percent for the entire year.

"Maybe the avatar was already close to the next percent. Yes… that must be it. It's not that I've been slacking…" Lin Wu consoled himself.

It was strange that he was losing to himself and felt a sense of competition.
