Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

After Lin Wu was done with Shirong's bloodline, he let the man return to the trials.

This time though, Shirong was going to take the Taiji Celestial's trials and Lin Wu would not be shortening them for him. Instead, the man was going to go through all of the trials and that too at the hardest difficulty.

​ Lin Wu had known by now that Shirong had far greater potential than Wang Xiong and was truly a genius by now.

And while Shirong took the trials, Lin Wu went about his other tasks.

He cultivated and comprehended more on the Dao. He needed to break through on his own after this point and couldn't do so with the system as a crutch. He didn't know how long it would take, but Lin Wu was now ready to settle for a few years.

The other people related to Lin Wu were also going about their day.

Kai Li had finished half the contracts that she was supposed to set up with the merchants under the Lian clan and would send for the beasts in the coming months. The sects and kingdoms that had decided on collaboration with the Millennium forest kingdom were also going to send their first batch of cultivators in the coming month or two.

Overall, all that Lin Wu had worked hard to set up was functioning just as intended.

"Hmm… am I forgetting something?" Lin Wu furrowed his brows as a feeling filled his mind.

And just as he felt that he was suddenly reminded of a certain fatty that was anxiously waiting out his days in the courtyard.

"Ah… I almost forget about this guy…" Lin Wu saw Lian Xiaojian in the courtyard.

The man was stress eating and had a pile of fruits on his side. He had evidently bought all these from the beasts and could be seen in the recordings. The beasts were also pleased with the man since they gave a better price for their fruits than they would get by trading amongst themselves.

"I should set him for the awakening, too. It's gonna take a while for him anyway." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

He looked through a few windows and picked the place for the fatty.

"System, is the plan ready?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The Vital House Physique awakening protocol has been prepared. The expected success rate is 54.7%.

——

"That's good enough. Not like it matters to me anyway. It'll be up to him to survive. If he manages to awaken it, I'll have another pawn and if he fails, that'll be it. The Lian clan already agreed on not blaming me for anything already." Lin Wu said to himself.

With that done, he waved his tail and activated the teleportation formation.

~SHUA~

Runes appeared in the air and assembled into a formation circle from which Lian Xiaojian appeared.

~THUD~

His large fatty body jiggled like jelly upon slamming into the ground. He was lying on a bed before and had appeared in the same state here, expect the lack of the spirit fruit platter on his side.

Lian Xiaojian was mid-way to eating a spirit fruit, and had its juice smeared on his lips and fingers.

"Huh?" Lian Xiaojian was a bit confused at first but then saw the massive figure of Lin Wu, that was over a hundred times bigger than him.

Lin Wu's towering body gazed at him and made Lian Xiaojian feel embarrassed.

He hurriedly tried to stand up but stumbled a few times. About ten seconds later, he finally composed himself and cupped his hands in greeting.

"G-greetings great Senior!" Lian Xiaojian said, his face still red with embarrassment.

"Mmm… do you not want to deal with your problem?" Lin Wu asked seeing that the man had been indulging in eating even now.

This was even more concerning since the man should clearly know that if he continued to eat and got fatter, he had a greater chance of exploding and dying.

Hearing Lin Wu's words though, Lian Xiaojian was startled.

"N-no Senior! I'm ready to do whatever you ask of me. Please save me!" Lian Xiaojian quickly said, his voice a bit shaky.

"Good…" Lin Wu nodded his head. "Follow me." Lin Wu ordered.

"Yes, Senior!" Lian Xiaojian walked behind Lin Wu, who brought him to a different hall.

It took them nearly ten minutes to reach it as well as it was rather far from the hall Lin Wu was located in. Lian Xiaojian looked at the corridor that they had just walked through and saw that it was densely covered in inscriptions that depicted complex runes.

They were unreadable to him and mysterious as well. Though he could tell that the density of runes in this corridor was a little too high. And was a bit unusual as well.

The new hall they appeared in was much smaller than Lin Wu's main hall and the beast had to lower his head by half as the ceiling was rather low.

"What are we doing here, senior?" Lian Xiaojian questioned.

"Since you've read the crystal slip, I gave you. You should know how to awaken your bloodline, right?" Lin Wu replied.

"Y-yes… I know." Lian Xiaojian answered, feeling a bit anxious as he knew the entire thing was rather gruesome.

"We are here to do exactly that." Lin Wu spoke.

"But how?" Lian Xiaojian asked, looking around.

There was nothing in the hall other than more inscriptions and runes carved into the floor and walls.

"Well… your first goal is to escape this hall and open the door we just came through. Then, once you open that, your next goal would be to pass through the corridor and reach my hall." Lin Wu stated.

"That's it?" Lian Xiaojian asked.

"Yup. There will just be some obstacles in your way. As long as you overcome them with strong willpower, you will awaken your Vital House Physique." Lin Wu explained.

"Alright Senior." Lian Xiaojian could only say this much before Lin Wu disappeared.

With the beast gone, Lian Xiaojian looked at the door in the distance and decided to take a step.
