Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu, who was unaware of all the happenings in the forest, continued to feel the increase in his power. The second Nascent Soul was now at the cusp of reaching the same level as that of the first one and would soon break through to the Adolescent Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

While he could see the pillar of light that his body was releasing into the sky, he didn't care as much about the backlash. He now knew that he didn't really have much to fear in the forest.

Having spent time with the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle and witnessing the powers of stronger beings had allowed him to estimate his own power. Even the Aqua Dream Sea Lotus which was at the Dao Treading realm, was held back by the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle despite being weaker than it.

Lin Wu had been comparing himself to either very strong beasts or beasts that had powerful bloodlines like the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle. Having learned all that, he now knew where he stood.

The rulers of the Millennium forest were nothing in front of him at that point. The only thing that Lin Wu understood he would have to be wary about was the Olive Viper King. That beast technically had the same bloodline as him, but it may have assimilated differently.

Thus, Lin Wu would need to figure out if his abilities would work on that beast or not. Through with the other different ones that he had accumulated over the time, he was sure that he would not need to worry much.

~shua~

~thud~

The process was finally competed, and the green pillar of light faded away. Lin Wu's body descended to the ground with a thud and he looked around. Even though he could not see the beasts, he could feel tens of gazes on him.

"Seems like I was rather flashy this time… Hmm it shouldn't matter though, gotta get to the avatar first." Lin Wu said before teleporting down to the main hall where he had been living.

Once he was there, he looked around at the screens. There were n number of beasts all looking towards the sky of a particular part of the forest. This was the nearby area of the tomb which could currently be scanned using the system's help and that, combined with the formation array of the tomb, allowed Lin Wu to monitor.

"Ah! I completely forgot about the Source crystal!" Lin Wu suddenly remembered upon seeing the monitors.

He remembered that the system had told him he could expand the scope of influence of the tomb with the help of more spirit Qi. And to do that, he needed a constant supply of it which, while he could do it, it would come at the cost of his own cultivation.

"System, use the spirit Qi sprint source crystal for the tomb. Add it to the spirit Qi supply network!" Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

TASK ASSIGNED: Spirit Qi supply upgrade

OBJECT SELECTED: Spirit Qi sprint source crystal

ANALYZING PARAMETERS: Network nodes identified

ANALYSIS COMPLETED: Optimism Network node found

——

Upon Lin Wu's command, the system started its process. The Source crystal was automatically removed from the inventory and came to float in front of Lin Wu. He could see multiple new screens appearing in front of him that showed a dense network that overlaid on the map of the tomb.

Lin Wu understood that this was the spirit Qi supply of the entire tomb and spanned over it all. But that was not all, as it expanded outside of it too and linked to multiple locations. The only problem was that many of these external links had either deteriorated over time or had been completely severed.

The system scanned for the proper place that would benefit from the addition of the Spirit Qi sprint source crystal. Since the spirit Qi source crystals would not directly produce spirit Qi for now, the system needed to find a broad area where it could be left for a while.

Once it started to stabilize and assimilate on its own, the source crystal would make another spirit Qi spring. While it could make a spirit Qi spring in any place given time, the system found a place that would accelerate this process.

Since the sixth ring was neurally rich in spirit Qi due to the hidden source beneath the Dark Bloom caverns, the system chose a location there. Thus, with the assistance of the passive spirit Qi from the Dark Bloom Caverns, not only would the source crystal make a spirit Qi spring soon, it would also link up the broken parts.

Once the spirit Qi spring source crystal was scanned one last time, the system teleported it to the chosen location. Lin Wu could see it moving on the map and it came to settle in a broken down hall, which was a bit similar to the trial grounds.

There were several damaged formations here, along with the collapsed statues and murals. 

"So this is the extended part of the tomb… I guess having more spirit Qi from me allowed the system to unlock the newer parts of it." Lin Wu muttered as he saw the system implant the spirit Qi sprint source crystal.

It entered the center of what was a broken formation circle but still managed to function partially. Once it was there, Lin Wu got another notification.

~Ding~

——

NOTIFICATION: Inject 100,000 units of liquid spirit Qi to initiate process? Y/N

——

"Go ahead system, do it." Lin Wu said, giving the system permission.

~Ding~

——

PERMISSION GRANTED: Consumed [100,000] units (liquid spirit qi)

      SPIRIT QI STORAGE: 1,268,911 units [liquid spirit qi]

——

With that done, Lin Wu felt the tomb shake slightly as a strong wave of spirit Qi was released. It quickly traveled through the network and reached the source crystal, lighting it up.

~HONG~

In a few seconds, the source crystal became active and started to suck the spirit Qi of the environment.
