Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

With two members selected, Lin Wu's gaze went to the one beast that was the most silent in the hall. Or more accurately… the only beast that dared to sleep in Lin Wu's presence.

This was of course…

"Wake up Tim. We got a sect to burn!" Lin Wu called out.

~pop~

Tim the weasel's eyes opened and a fierce energy exuded from them for a moment, startling all the beasts other than Lin Wu. But soon it settled down and Tim's normal expression returned.

"Mmhmm… Bad dream…" Tim muttered before looking at Lin Wu.

"We go where?" Tim questioned, clearly not having heard him the first time.

"We are going to the Frozen Cloud sect." Lin Wu answered. 

"Hunting time?" Tim asked.

"Yes… this time it is hunting time." Lin Wu replied.

"Humans?" Tim asked doubtfully. 

He had been scolded by Lin Wu enough times not to eat humans unless he was told to. There had been a couple of incidents when Tim ate a cultivator or two when they reached the third ring of the millennium forest.

Usually Tim didn't go that far either, but ended up being attracted due to a certain scent. The scent was coming from the cultivators, and Tim found them to be delicious. Of course, before he could realize, the two humans had disappeared down his gullet.

Lin Wu still didn't know who the cultivators that Tim ate were and it was a headache for him. The system's scans and recorded information only showed the appearance of those cultivators and their cultivation base, which was at the core condensation realm.

Lin Wu wondered if they were from some sect or power, but they weren't wearing any robes like that. Not to mention, Tim had eaten them whole… including whatever storage treasures or identification items they might have had.

Thus leaving Lin Wu with nothing to check. He even wondered if this would invite some trouble, since a core condensation cultivator was still important for a lot of powers. They served as their main manpower after all, just above the Qi refining realm cultivator.

The average cultivator on the Long Continent was said to be in the Qi refining realm, thus anything above that was valued. It wasn't like the Millennium forest, where due to Lin Wu's presence, the number of Core Condensation realm beasts and Nascent soul realm beasts had started to increase in number almost exponentially.

There were more beasts that would be reaching the nascent soul realm in the coming few months as well. And this was when Lin Wu hadn't mutated any in the past six months, due to just how busy he was.

If he was still mutating more of them, the number of beasts breaking through would be vastly higher.

But now that Tim heard that they really were going to do what he desired all the time, he instantly became excited.

~SKREEE!!!~

A screeching cry of excitement came out of his mouth, forcing the other beasts to close their ears.

"Dammit! Shut your mouth Tim!" Lin Wu ordered.

~phew~

"I'm starting to wonder if we should get one of those human cultivator tools that can temporarily turn you deaf. If we have that, we won't have to bear his cries." The Slim Arm Ape king said, rubbing his forehead.

"Yeah… his cries used to be annoying before, but now… they hurt us literally." The Emeraldine Horn Beetle spoke.

Tim's power had been increasing overall, and it powered other aspects of his body that he didn't even know. Just his cry was enough to turn several beasts below the Nascent soul realm deaf or simply knock them out.

"I might have to get that too… I'll see if we can get some from the Frozen Cloud sect since we are going there anyway." Lin Wu spoke.

"That'll be really nice." The Slim Arm ape and several beasts said with gratitude.

Meanwhile, Tim just looked on awkwardly.  =.='

With the members selected, all that was now needed for Lin Wu was to wait on the intel.  He discussed a few more things with his subordinates and servants before dismissing them. 

"Umm… King Lin Wu." But one beast had stayed behind.

"Yes?" Lin Wu responded to the Club Tailed Lizard.

She had officially joined under Lin Wu's banner a while back and knew that this was the best choice. Her decision had come after several considerations. Earlier she wanted to return to her land, but she realized that this place was many times better.

Not only was the spirit Qi higher here now, Lin Wu's power was certainly much more than any beast she had seen. Plus, going back to her territory after this much time would probably end up with her needing to clash with other beasts who would have inevitably taken over it.

Besides, she had her children now who were still a bit too weak to fight against stronger beasts at the Nascent soul realm. Though in general she was shocked by their growth too and found them to be strange.

She had long since known that the bloodline her children had would be different from her own, giving them some additional abilities, but the increase in talent was still astounding to her.

She wouldn't be shocked if all of her children reached the core condensation realm in a few years. And this was just by them cultivating passively. If they were nurtured on resources, it wouldn't be unusual for them to reach the Core condensation realm in just a few month's time or at most a year.

Then there was another reason why she was averse to leaving. 

Her children liked Lin Wu far too much!

She was frankly lost and angry about it, since sometimes they even preferred Lin Wu over her, their own mother!

They would sometimes sneak out of the Tomb and go find Lin Wu, though they would always get caught by the patrolling beasts.. They knew very well about the mischievous Juvenile Club tailed lizards and would escort them back to the hall where they lived.
