Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"But that's not all, is it?" Lin Wu questioned the Slim Arm Ape King.

"No… Some years after that, there were some incidents that happened in the Tian clan. They were inexplicable and some people disappeared all of a sudden. There was a great upheaval in the clan and it went into a panic until the high elders forcibly suppressed it.

Later it was found that the people had been killed and their remains were found hidden all over the clan's periphery. No one knows how it was done or who did it, but it became a nightmare for them.

But there was one thing in common with all of the remains, there was a symbol left on them. It was hidden and very hard to notice. The symbol being none other than the one on this sword." The Slim Arm Ape King answered.

"I see. and is it linked to the top member that ran away?" Lin Wu questioned further.

"Yes. This was discovered even later, as some members were dissatisfied by the clan. They decided to follow in the steps of the exiled member and made up stories that he was still alive and had faked his death back then.

Of course, this rebellious action was met with punishment, but then the members that rebelled next time were far stronger than expected. It was then found that they were in possession of several items that had the same symbol as that sword." The Slim Arm Ape King answered.

"And what is this symbol called?" Lin Wu asked, feeling very intrigued now.

"I still remember that I was brought to the Tian clan by my master at that time because he had been summoned due to an emergency. That emergency turned out to be none other than more people trying to leave.

There was word among the clansmen that the Ghost Of Tian was back. That symbol belonged to that person." The Slim Arm Ape King replied.

"Hmmm…" Lin Wu didn't know what to think of this.

The more he learned about the Tian clan, the more strange he found them. Their entire history and the events that they went through seemed to be ridiculous. This gave doubts to some questions in Lin Wu's mind.

"Wait… just how long ago did the top member of the Tian clan leave it?" Lin Wu questioned.

He asked this question because he felt like there were simply too many people that had tried to rebel from the clan and caused multiple incidents. And seeing how the Tian clan tried to stay hidden and low key for the most part, such incidents should be rather well known no matter how much they tried to hide it.

There were bound to be cultivators that would get whiff of it or suspect something. If something happened so many times in history in a short period of time there would be traces left.

"The original rebellion happened a long time before my master's time. While I don't know the exact time, it is said that there was no Long clan back then." The Slim Arm ape king replied.

"No, Long clan?" Lin Wu said as he raised his brows.

"That means it is over ten thousand years old. The Long clan came into existence around that time." Lin Wu stated.

This was unexpected to him, as it meant that the Tian clan possibly had the entire history of all that had happened since the arrival of the invaders and the awakening of the three guardian beasts.

'I bet they even know more than this.' Lin Wu thought.

This only made Lin Wu that much more interested in the Tian clan and he wanted to visit it.

"Wait! If you've gone to the Tian clan with your master, you must know its location, right?" Lin Wu asked, realizing it.

"I… actually don't." The Slim Arm Ape King replied.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lin Wu asked, feeling confused.

"While I did visit it with my master, I wasn't exactly aware of the path taken. My master would put me in a Beast Storage treasure." The Slim Arm Ape King replied.

Lin Wu knew of beast storage treasures and had learned about them a while back. They were in the same category of spirit tools as the Spatial storage treasures and were actually even more expensive.

Since most spatial storage treasure could not hold living beings in them other than some plants, a special spirit tool needed to be made that could support life. This was a very complex process in involved various formations.

The Beast Storage Treasures or spirit tools made use of an air gathering formation, an isolation array, a pair of heating and cooling formations, along with a lot of reinforcement formations.

All of these combined allowed a beast to stay in the spirit tool safely. The isolation array prevented the turbulent space inside the beast storage tool from harming the beast, while the reinforcement formations made them tougher.

Then the air gathering formation and the pair of heating and cooling fomentations were so that the beast could breathe and stay alive there. The air gathering formation would periodically pull air from the outside and make it possible for the beasts to breathe while the heating/ cooling formations changed the temperature of this air.

Adding all these formations on top of the spatial formations made it a very tall order and there were only a limited number of cultivators that could even make them.

"Are there others in the Tian clan that have beast storage tools or of the clan themselves make them?" Lin Wu questioned.

"The clan does make them, but they are very rare and few. I think there were less than ten such back when my master was still alive. There was an argument that my master had with one of the members as he asked for the beast storage tool that he used for me. 

He said that the tool was wasted on a weak beast like me and he would make better use of it.." The Slim Arm Ape King answered.
