Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

There was actually a limit to the number of people that the trial could accommodate. Lin Wu had not discovered this before since there was no way to do that. He had only found it out recently when he asked the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape about it.

He too didn't know and they ended up using beasts to test it. In the end, it came out that a little over 200 people could take the Sky Bright Daoist's trials at once.

Seeing this number, Lin Wu knew they would need a way to let the others stay here. The more they stayed the more Lin Wu could control them. He didn't just want to use the sky bright Daoist's trials to control them, but rather the entire forest.

He had several ways to do it that could be applied in various manners, but the main condition was that they needed to be in the forest.

"Those that want to stay, need to give their names so that I can inform the king." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape asked.

He looked towards the first person who had spoken, the envoy of the Long clan. The others looked at this person too, since they too didn't know his name.

"My name is Long Qingao." The man revealed.

"So senior's name is Long Qingao." Lian Xiaojian took this opportunity. "It is nice to meet senior, my name is Lian Xiaojian and I am the first son of Lian Dajian, the patriarch of the Lian clan."

Seeing Lian Xiaojian respond like this, Lian Ruanjian couldn't help but approve of it inwardly.

'At least he is picking up on the cues rather well.' He thought to himself.

But the cue turned out to be awkward for Lian Xiaojian since Long Qingao didn't give him any response and simply closed his eyes.

Lin Wu who was watching this also saw the system update the man's information.

"That fatty has a similar name to his father. Seems like his father has big hopes with him, naming the same as him. From what I remember the current patriarch of the Lian clan brought the biggest growth to the clan.

So the fatty has a large weight on his shoulders." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

The awkwardness was broken by the others speaking as well.

"My name is Ji Shirong." Shirong quickly spoke, not wanting to waste any time.

He was sure that they would be called depending on who applied first. At least that's how it would work with any audience with an authority figure.

"I, Lian Xiaojian would like to meet the king as well."

"And so will I, junior elder Kai Li."

"Since my young master is staying, I shall stay as well; Lian Ruanjian."

One by one, the others said as well. Though not all of them decided to stay, it wasn't that they didn't want to meet the king, but rather they needed to go back to report to their respective powers.

Some that were from smaller powers were also not confident of meeting the king. They knew that they would need someone that was higher up in their rankings to meet with the king.

Additionally, they also didn't want to delay sending people to the Sky Bright Daoist's trials.

The people that had decided to stay either had others that would go back without them, like in the case of the helpers that Junior elder Kai Li brought, or like Shirong and Long Qingao, not needing to report back.

The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape took their names and showed them to the accommodation that had been prepared.

"Oh? This is rather quaint." Kai Li said seeing the courtyards.

There were several rows of them ready here. There were multiple streets that passed in between them and from a rough estimate, there were at least a hundred of them just in the field of their view.

Lian Xiaojian looked around the area and found that architecture to be a bit lacking.

'Still for beasts, this is great. At least it is made according to humans' specifications. There is no way they build this for themselves, they knew for sure we would be staying here weren't they?' he thought.

All the courtyards were built with wood and other materials that were found in the Millennium forest and were made by the monkey beasts with a few other beasts providing assistance.

By now the Emeraldine Monkeys had trained several batches of black fur monkeys that were carpenters and builders for them. Though they had also been asking Lin Wu to mutate more of them so that they could have even better workers.

Having mutated themselves, they understood the difference in the intelligence level that they had now and before. They wanted their kin to have the same level as well.

"I shall inform you when our king is ready to see you." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape announced.

With that said, soon everyone picked their courtyards and went to rest for the time being.

The people of the Frozen Cloud sect did the same but the courtyard they had chosen was far from the others.

"Come patriarch, we have our own courtyard here. It is better than the others." Pei Jun spoke.

Patriarch Bing was brought to a courtyard that was about the same size as others but far better decorated and refined.

"This is where I stayed along with Tian Xiaoge and our fellow disciples." Pei Jun informed.

This was Wang Xiong's first time seeing it too, so he was intrigued.

"The spirit Qi concentration here is not bad." Patriarch Bing said.

"Indeed. The King allowed us to put a spirit Qi gathering formation array here before." Pei Jun replied.

"You all have met him already haven't you? How long will he make us wait?" The Patriarch questioned.

By now he was really curious about the king too. Lin Wu had after all done a damn nice job of pulling everyone's attention with everything. The performance of the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape was also nothing to scoff at.
