Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 739 – Thirteen Nascent Soul Realm Human Subordinates!

Lin Wu gazed at the disciples of the Frozen Cloud sect under him breakthrough though one by one. This was all arranged by him and he knew that the more there were the, stronger the effect would be.

And not just that, Lin Wu could even feel a synergistic effect between the cultivation of all thirteen disciples.

'The system was right, there is indeed a lot more to the Sky Bright Daoist's technique than we thought. This synergy is not even openly said, and is a hidden aspect of the technique.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

A unified breakthrough like this was originally suggested by the Emeraldine Sky Light monk ape. He had apparently gained some insights that made him think that doing so would be good.

Lin Wu was of course doubtful of it, even thinking the monkey was a fool. Lin Wu had already seen many types of heavenly tribulations and even participated in multiple of them, despite the fact that they weren't his.

He knew very well how dangerous they could be. And when several such cultivators would be breaking through at the same time, the effect would only be many times more dangerous.

While Lin Wu wasn't worried about getting injured himself, he didn't want his base to get injured in the process. This included his subordinates and other beasts along with the millennium forest.

Tim's breakthrough and the near escape of the Sealed being were already large headaches to him and Lin Wu certainly didn't want a repeat of anything close to that. Even if it was highly unlikely for an event on that level to happen, it was best to stay safe.

Thus he let the system analyze the scenario and only after it gave the go-ahead, did Lin Wu allow the disciples to breakthrough here.

Of course, he didn't let the tribulation attenuation formation array work on its own either. The array wasn't made to handle multiple heavenly tribulations at once like this and was likely to get damaged if so many people broke through at once.

This was also why Lin Wu interfered personally. With his progress in the Immortal Sky Shaker art and proficiency with the lightning element, combined with radiation manipulator, Lin Wu was confident in doing the work of the array himself.

Thus while the array was still working, Lin Wu was lessening its load by diverting a part of the tribulation lightning himself.

~BOOM~

Another lightning bolt filled with the power of heavenly tribulation struck the barrier and split apart before hitting the disciples and ground.

"Just a bit more and it should be over…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

His gaze went to the several monitors that were floating around him and observed the siltation in the other parts of the millennium forest.

"Oh? There are actually humans that managed to stay in the second right even now? I thought they'd have all run away." Lin Wu muttered in surprise.

He had given the order to his beasts to prevent a tide from happening. And in addition to that, he asked them to protect the humans in case they could. While it was not an absolute requirement, Lin Wu reckoned their survival would be good for his later plans.

Lin Wu even told that he would provide additional incentives to those beasts that save the humans and prevent them from dying. 

A personal guarantee from their king was more than enough for all the beasts to work with great diligence. They would gladly give their lives for Lin Wu at this moment and wouldn't mind doing whatever he asked even without the reward.

Still, Lin Wu knew the best way to motivate the subordinates now and it was to reward them at some milestones.

And right on the monitoring screen in front of him was the result of that; a perfect result.

"Ooo, this could become a nice story on its own." Lin Wu said as he watched the Throw Pulse cicada defend the group of humans from the tide of beasts.

'That's a nice ability that cicada got there, might be good enough to nurture perhaps…' Lin Wu took note in his mind.

He then watched as the humans did their best to escape the forest.  The team of humans that was saved by the Throw Pulse cicada weren't the only humans that were in the forest at this time either.

There were a few more spread around the forest and most of them had escaped, along with a few that had perished.

The ones that had perished though were located deep in the third ring, almost at the fourth ring's border at that time. Which only made them the first target of the beast tide. With the surge of the beasts, which even included Core condensation realm beasts, there was not much of a chance for them to live.

They were the ones who had ended up dying the first. 

"There's definitely gonna be a lot of talk in the nearby cities. The sects won't be able to hold their curiosity anymore either… though it's all according to the plan." Lin Wu said to himself as the flash of lightning reflected off his crystal body.

The tribulation was the biggest Lin Wu had ever seen, even when considering the other records and data he had. Though this was more of a quantitative difference rather than qualitative.

Thus this tribulation wasn't necessarily the most dangerous one either.

'Should be over in a while more…' Lin Wu thought as he continued to redirect the tribulation bolts.

While it looked like the lightning was raiding all at once and that tens of bolts were falling at once, it was not so. It was actually only thirteen bolts, all falling after short intervals.

But due to Lin Wu's control, they were split apart before they even struck the barrier. This made it look like there were nearly a hundred tribulation lightning bolts. Regardless, it was still a very impressive scene that not many would be able to forget.

~DING~

ANALYSIS COMPLETED: Data Bank updated

NOTIFICATION: The cause of the synergy has been found!

ANSWER: The synergistic effect is ultimately due to the unknown aspect 'Dao'. In a singular heavenly tribulation, this is far too weak to show any effect, but when several of them happen at once, the practitioners can benefit from it.

——

Seeing this, Lin Wu raised his brows.

"This is interesting… does apply to other techniques too?" Lin Wu wondered.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: With further analysis and extrapolation of the data, the system might be bale to replicate it for other cultivation techniques. But for now, it is restricted to just this single technique.

——

The system's answer seemed reasonable to Lin Wu though it also made him wonder about additional hidden properties. But what made him the most irritated was the fact that he wouldn't be able to take advantage of it himself, as he was already way beyond that point.

'Though it will probably come in handy sometime.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

An hour passed by, when finally the heavenly tribulation was fully over and the dark clouds dispersed as well.

~phew~

"That was still quite hectic…" Lin Wu said as he took a deep breath.

Even he was tired after doing all this. After all, manipulating tribulation lightning alone was an absurd fact and him controlling several such was also very taxing on his spirit Qi. Even if he had not used all his capacity, half of it had still been depleted.

~HONG~

And just as Lin Wu was checking up on the unmoving disciples, he felt a dense wave of spirit Qi spreading around in a circle. It was dense enough to actually make Lin Wu budge slightly.

"Oh, the spirit Qi infusion… I almost forgot about this." Lin Wu muttered to himself, as he saw several spirit Qi vortexes spinning in the sky.

The vortex spun and poured as much spirit Qi into the cultivators who had just broken through.

~Shua~

The spirit Qi quickly restored the cultivation bases of the disciples and their Nascent souls all appeared out of their bodies. These Nascent souls floated above their heads and absorbed the spirit Qi from the spirit Qi vortex.

The process continued for about fortifier minutes after which the vortexes disappeared and the disciples all woke up one after the other.

But when they opened their eyes, they were stunned.

"W-what?" They said in shock.

The Emeraldine Sky Light monk ape had directly sent them all here through the teleportation array and had simply told them to breakthrough after that. They had also been instructed a long time ago that if they were lucky they might get to meet a great senior.

'Is that… the beast senior that the monk told us about?' Cao Du wondered.

He was the one who was the first among them to reach the point of breakthrough and also the first one to wake up after the tribulation was fully gone.

"Come… Kneel." Lin Wu spoke, his voice piercing through the heads of all directly.

The disciples were a bit shocked, but still stood up hesitatingly. They were instructed to watch their manners and to be very respectful by the Monk before and they were intending to follow through with that.

Even Tian Xiaoge and Pei Jun had told them the same. Since these two were trusted by the disciples, they all did as they were told and didn't mind that Lin Wu could actually speak.

"Junior's pay respects to great Senior!" They all said in unison.

"Mmm… Good… Time for a reward for you all.." Lin Wu said as he began his subordination process.
