Lin Wu watched the monitoring screens and saw Lian Xiaojian being blasted back.

"So it starts." Lin Wu chuckled.

What he had got the system to make was a large offensive formation array that would keep on attacking Lian Xiaojian at a certain pace that would automatically be adjusted according to the man's state.

Lin Wu originally wondered what would be the best method to do this and had thought of using beasts. But then remembered that the fatty wasn't actually weak.

It was easy to forget, but Lian Xiaojian was also at the Child Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm and there weren't many beasts able to match him right now. As for those that could, they were Lin Wu's direct subordinates and were busy with their own tasks.

Then there was also the fact that in order for Lian Xiaojian to awaken his physique, he needed to be in a greatly injured state for an extended period of time. It was a difficult task to make it so that the injuries stayed just there.

If Lin Wu got his subordinates to do that, there was always a chance that they might misjudge and exert a little too much force, killing the man in the process. If that happened, it would all be for the naught.

Thus to ensure the greatest chance of success, Lin Wu could only trust on the system to do it. Hence the formation array was made. It was composed of several different kinds of offensive formations that would attack and injure Lian Xiaojian.

As for the claim that Lian Xiaojian had to open the door and cross the corridor, it was just a gimmick.

Lin Wu needed to give Lian Xiaojian some concrete goal that he could see. If there was nothing like this, he doubted his willpower would be that strong. After all, Lin Wu was investing in him and would be using a part of the tomb's spirit Qi supply to power these formation arrays.

He wanted the return to be something in the future and would ensure that he got it.

With all set and done, Lin Wu watched the fatty getting injured over and over again. But even after an hour, he wasn't able to take more than ten steps. But even then, the injuries that Lian Xiaojian had sustained weren't much more than surface injuries.

"Even without his physique being awakened, he is still quite tough." Lin Wu couldn't help but say.

After watching the man for a bit more, Lin Wu lost interest and decided to focus on his own cultivation.

'Now that most of the things are set, I can return to my growth…' Lin Wu thought to himself before curling up on the large pile of pelts and entered a cultivation state.

Three months passed by while Lin Wu continued to cultivate.

The plans he had set up were working properly and his alliances were also in effect. The millennium forest had already received its first batch of the trial takers that would attempt the Sky Bright Daoist's Trials and they were currently in the Shrine, being watched over by the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape.

Kai Li had also kept up with her end of the deal and had set up a trade agreement with several of the traders that worked under her and along with the Lian clan. Once that was done, she came to the Millennium forest again to enact the second part of the plan.

In the millennium forest, the subordinates of Lin Wu were already instructed about what to do when she came here.

The goods and products that the millennium forest was going to sell off were already prepared for a long time and were kept in storage. The only thing left was for Kai Li to get the beasts that Lin Wu had promised would help her.

"Who will be coming with me as per the plans of King Lin Wu?" Kai Li asked the Emeraldine Monkey that was in charge of talking to her in the absence of Lin Wu.

"They will be here shortly. I've already called for them." The Emeraldine Monkey replied.

"I see…" Kai Li nodded and glanced at the warehouse that was lying open.

There were literal piles of spirit herbs, spirit fruits and also beast materials lying there. They were in such a high quantity that Kai Li couldn't carry all of them in any spatial storage tools.

This was an issue that most merchant faced and even the rich Lian clan was no exception. And in the case of Kai Li, who was technically doing this on her own without the support of the Lian clan, she didn't have the same level of resource.

She could technically take their support and would get enough spatial storage tools to carry all the goods, but it would mean that she would have to give a part of the profits to the clan as well.

But if she did that, it would be against the agreement she had made with Lin Wu. And she didn't want to lose that profit either, wanting to keep a lot of it with herself.

'I haven't broken my back making four hundred and six merchant agreements for nothing…' Kai Li thought to herself.

While thinking all this, She was reminded of something.

"Do you know how young master Lian Xiaojian is doing?" Kai Li questioned the beast.

"I do not know about that. The king is doing it all himself and thus we are not privy to this information." The Emeraldine monkey replied. "And we do not dare to disrupt his cultivation to ask this, either." He added, just to warn Kai Li.

"It's all good. If the king is doing it on his own, then there is no need for me to worry." Kai Li hurriedly replied.

After all, the last thing she wanted was to offend Lin Wu over it and risk missing out the biggest deal of her life.

~TREMBLE~

And while she was thinking this, the ground started to shake.
