Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Feng nodded his head upon hearing Lin Wu.

It felt like the right option for him now and he was really excited to know more about cultivation as well. Feng had yearned for this for many years now, after all. Ever since he was a child, he had seen the cultivators do as they pleased without needing to care much.

He too, desired the same and wanted to become like that. This was one of his biggest desires. But it wasn't the only one either.

Feng had no parents and no one to care for. Feng didn't even know how he had appeared in Tieba city. He had asked the other denizens of the slums, but got no proper answer. After all, in a chaotic place like the slums, things were hard to keep track of.

And thus Feng wanted to find out more about himself and his parents. He knew he had to have come from somewhere and he wanted to learn where that was, as it certainly was not Tieba city.

He wanted to see if he had any other relatives out there and to do that, he needed power and status. After all, the world was very vast and there were many people living in it. To find a few or maybe even a single person out of them was the same as finding a needle in an ocean.

But Feng had heard that strong cultivators had mysterious abilities. There were some that could even divine the karma and thus help find a lot of secrets. He hoped that he could take the help of a diviner like that, or even become one.

All that would only happen once he began his journey, though.

"I shall do as you said, senior." Feng spoke, fully intending to follow through.

"Mm…" Lin Wu hummed in response and then thought of something. "Now that I think of it, perhaps I can assign a task for you."

"Please do! I shall do whatever you say." Feng replied hurriedly.

"Very well. Then as your first task, let's set a goal. Hmm… I want you to reach the late stage of Qi refining realm in a month's time." Lin Wu stated.

"The L-Late Stage of the Qi Refining realm…? In a month's time…?" Feng was stunned by the request.

While he might not know the details of cultivation, he at least knew the starting realms and how long they took. After all, he didn't even need to be explained this as it was something he had learned from simple observation.

He had seen many Qi refining realm cultivators, and they were also the most common ones. And from the ones that visited the Tea House, he knew that most Late Stage Qi refining realm cultivators were old.

Even if they looked younger, many were often in their thirties. As for the young masters, they were nurtured by their respective clans and even had the talent, along with the guidance from an early age.

'Can I do that?' Feng questioned himself.

Seeing the expression of Feng, Lin Wu knew what the boy must have been thinking. He could also understand the thoughts of the boy somewhat. After all, they were considered to be logical… normally.

"Do you really think your new body can compare with the average person here? HAH! Not a single person would be able to match the talent that your body has right now. I won't make an inferior choice like that.

And the cultivation technique I've given you is something that will make even the Long clan envious." Lin Wu stated loudly.

Hearing the proud claims of Lin Wu, Feng was a bit stunned, but then a warmth appeared within his eyes.

'Of course! I'm no longer the same as before. The abilities of the senior are truly the most mysterious since they can even give me a new body.' Feng thought to himself.

​ With just a few words, Lin Wu had started changing the life perspective of the former servant boy.

"YES! I shall not disappoint you, senior!" Feng proclaimed loudly.

"Good. I'll leave for now. I have more things to do." Lin Wu said, seeing that the boy felt a lot more confident now.

"How will I contact you, senior?" Feng questioned. "You know when I finish the task?"

"Oh, I will know. And I will contact you when you do so, too." Lin Wu replied.

"How?" Feng was a little confused.

'Like this.' Feng suddenly heard a voice in his mind.

"WHAT!?" he was a little startled.

"I can communicate with you in your mind. So you don't need to worry." Lin Wu spoke.

"I see… this is amazing." Feng couldn't help but say.

"Oh, there is a lot more that you will learn later on. Cultivation has endless discoveries to make." Lin Wu said before disappearing back into the ground.

Once Lin Wu was gone, Feng continued to stare at the spot where the 'head' used to be.

"Just what creature is he, really?" Feng wondered.

He was a hundred percent sure that Lin Wu was not a human. Feng wondered if Lin Wu was one of the mysterious spirits or creatures that were intelligent, just like humans.

There were many such tales spread out in the world, after all. And even commoners would hear them, thinking of them as fairy tales. But these fairy tales were often true, just hard to verify.

Feng looked around the empty hall after a couple of minutes of blankness and scrunched his nose.

"Ugh! I can't stay in a stinky place like this. No way I'll be able to focus." Feng said to himself.

It was fine before when he was in his old body, as the stink didn't bother him much and he was used to it. But now with his new body and stronger senses, it was headache inducing.

Feng quickly left the old building and jumped over the wall with ease, feeling the increase in his strength.

'Just how strong is my body now?' Feng wondered.
