Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Elder Ruanjian looked at Patriarch Dajian with apprehension on his face.

"I'll make sure that no one finds out patriarch. We won't use any of our usual people nor anyone linked with us." Elder Ruanjian stated.

~Sigh~

"Very well… contact the Hu clan…" Lian Dajian replied.

"Do not worry patriarch." Elder Ruanjian spoke. " If even they don't have a solution then, perhaps the young master will come in handy. There is still a chance that he might survive this." He added.

"Hmm… that beast; this King Lin Wu… is he really like you described?" Patriarch Dajian asked.

"Yes patriarch… he is nothing like I've ever seen before. The sense of oppression I get from him is… beyond you, or even the Patriarch of the Long clan. And his aura is simply deadly. All this is merely what I got from his appearance. Talking to him and learning the things he knew were an entirely different level of danger.

With the knowledge that the likely long lived beast has and the negotiation skills that it showed, I can safely say that he is very experienced with humans. Simply looking at his eyes showed the experience of an old monster." Elder Ruanjian described.

Patriarch Dajian thought to himself for a bit before speaking.

"Have you consulted the others about the beast king?" Patriarch Dajian questioned.

"I have contacted our usual sources, but didn't get any intel on him. It's as if a beast like that has never existed. Which is strange since many of these records have been maintained since the time of the rise of the guardians." Elder Ruanjian answered.

"I see… then it may very well be proof that the beast was speaking the truth. It is truly an old monster having existed since before the time of the guardian clans." Patriarch Dajian stated.

"Though patriarch, there are other sources, we haven't consulted yet. There is the Hu clan and some other record keepers in that continent as well." Elder Ruanjian added.

"I see… but if even that fails, then…" Patriarch Dajian didn't continue after that.

Some things were simply better left unsaid.

While Lin Wu knew things were going to be steady, he didn't know just how long they would be like that.

Time continued to pass where days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months and months turned into years…

…

Three years later.

One certain day, the beasts of the Millennium forest all felt a strong wave of aura spreading from the tomb.

"Huh? Is it master?" The Mole beast wondered.

He was doing his regular duties of taking care of the orchards and had suddenly felt this.

"No… it seems different." Along with the mole beast was another beast that looked like a mix between a Mongoose and a dog.

The Mole beast furrowed his brows and tried to sense it in detail and realized that his companion was right.

"Yeah, this is not master… the aura is a bit different." The Mole beast said.

Back in the Taiji Celestial's tomb, Lin Wu woke up from his cultivation trance as well.

~DING~

"Hmm?" Lin Wu opened his eyes and looked at the notification that had appeared in front of him.

"So he's finally awake." Lin Wu muttered.

Lin Wu moved and teleported to a different hall.

~SKREEE~

As soon as he appeared, a loud screech was heard before a black blur pounced on him.

"Oh no you don't!" Lin Wu swiped his tail.

~THUD~

The black blur was struck with Lin Wu's tail, but wasn't sent flying like normally. Instead, it stuck to his tail and refused to let go.

~Sigh~

"Do you really need to do this always?" Lin Wu questioned the beast that was trying to bite his tail.

"FOOD! FOOD!" The Weasel beast shouted as it continued to bite Lin Wu's tail.

'Guess he's hungry after all this time?' Lin Wu reckoned.

"Let go of my tail, I'll give you other food." Lin Wu said but the Weasel beast didn't respond.

~shua~

Thus instead of speaking to the beast, Lin Wu waved his tail and withdrew several beast corpses from his storage.

<strong>~THUD~THUD~THUD~</strong>

A pile of beast corpses were immediately piled up and caught the attention of the Weasel beast.

"FOODS!" The Weasel screamed before pouncing on the pile of corpses.

~CRUNCH~

~RIP~

~CRACK~

Various sounds were heard as the weasel ate all the beast corpses. There were easily over a hundred corpses in it and there were swiftly eaten by the significantly small body of the weasel beast.

And while the weasel was doing this, Lin Wu decided to check it.

"System, scan the beast and see the changes." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

SCANNER ACTIVATED: target selected.

ERROR: Scan failed.

INITIATING PASSIVE SCAN: Please wait a moment…

——

Seeing that the direct scan had failed again, Lin Wu knew that it wouldn't work on the weasel beast for a while.

~SIGH~

"Guess his unique defense still blocks the system and all spirit Qi." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

By the time the weasel finished eating all the corpses, the system finished its scan as well.

~DING~

——

PASSIVE SCAN: Completed

Note: The information will be approximate and certain error margins might be present.

TARGET: Myriad Obsidian Weasel

CULTIVATION BASE: Shell Expansion Stage of the Dao Shell realm (Possible)

——

This was all the information that the system could get from a passive scan, but it was enough for Lin Wu as it showed him that the weasel had grown rapidly again.

"No wonder it was this hungry… though it's a bit strange that it was able to reach the Shell Expansion stage from just a single leg of the Supreme elder… how did he do it?" Lin Wu wondered.

Lin Wu was sure that something didn't add up, but right now there was no way to find that out either. Thus, he just decided to let it be for now.

"Are you done?" Lin Wu asked, seeing the weasel clean its paws and mouth with its tongue.

"YES!" The Weasel replied in a lot calmer tone.
