Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Deep under Tieba City, Lin Wu had created his own abode.

The area had been excavated and expanded and several areas had been created inside it. Not just that, but hundreds of tunnels spread from the abode, going all around the city and even expanding beyond it.

Then there were four large tunnels that were meant for Lin Wu's own use and they lead outside the city. At the center of all, was the main hall where Lin Wu was currently located.

But this main hall was protected and no one other than Lin Wu could enter it. In order to meet up with other people though, he had made another smaller hall above it, and would simply extend one of his tentacles to act as a proxy.

And right now, that very proxy was in a meeting with two humans.

The first was a teenage boy that was dressed in black and dark blue robes that covered most of his face, only revealing his eyes. He had two daggers hanging on the sides of his waist while a long bow hung on his back. Strangely though, there was no quiver with the bow.

This was none other than Feng.

Then on his side stood a similarly aged teen girl. She was dressed in a light green dress and looked rather charming. A smile adorned her face while a bracelet made out of several gems hung from her wrist. Secretly though, she was over the age of thirty.

This was Cang Ci who had helped the southern kingdoms with the Blight.

"I'm guessing it went well?" Lin Wu asked.

"Yes, master. The mission was a success." Cang Ci replied.

"Mmmhmmm, good." Lin Wu said before looking at Feng. "And what about you?"

"The recruitment is going well and in about a month's time, we should have our third group ready." Feng spoke. "The training for the previously recruited second group is almost complete and they will wait for their first mission after that." He added.

"And what about the first group? How's their progress?" Lin Wu questioned.

"The ones that were sent out to collect intelligence have all returned, while those that were sent to infiltrate the Tieba City clans are laying low. The remaining are all cultivating in the halls." Feng answered.

"Alright. You can leave for now. I've got more to discuss with her." Lin Wu said before dismissing Feng.

"Yes." Feng cupped his hands and left without a question.

After he was gone, Cang Ci chuckled and looked at the door.

"He's still not used to it, is he? I can tell he's trying hard to act." Cang Ci spoke.

"It'll take him time to adapt. Though so far he's taken the responsibility well." Lin Wu replied. "After all, for a servant boy to become the head of an organization of cultivators is a huge jump."

"That's true, master." Cang Ci agreed. "Though… since you haven't told him about your two selves, I reckon you don't trust him yet?" she asked doubtfully.

"It's not that I don't trust him. But rather he has a different role to serve. It is best for him to only know what he needs to know." Lin Wu replied casually.

"Still… he's really something huh… He's almost at the Dao shell realm too." Cang Ci said in surprise. "Even I'm at this point only because of your assistance." She added.

"Yeah, he's surprisingly the only one who is progressing at that pace." Lin Wu said. "And also the first one to have survived the cultivation technique."

"How many have been there now, master? I know I'm supposed to be the eighth candidate. But you have more right?" Cang Ci asked.

"There should be about a hundred now. Though you and Feng are the only ones who actually comprehended it entirely." Lin Wu glanced at a window that was invisible to Cang Ci.

Hearing this, Cang Ci's brows furrowed.

"Even though we cultivate the same technique, why is there a vast difference? I understand that there might be some due to your 'assistance' with my body, but I can sense the different aura." Cang Ci asked. "Feng's aura is…" she couldn't explain it.

"Like a hidden dagger?" Lin Wu interrupted.

"Y-yes." It seems like he poses no danger and yet when you look him in the eyes, you can feel the danger.

"That is something a little hard to answer. The Chimeric Revolution Cultivation Technique is something that has different effects on different people. At least for those that comprehend it beyond a certain level.

The one's working under Feng for example, cultivate it too but their comprehension barely allows them to use 10% of the technique. At that level, their abilities and auras are pretty much the same.

But you and Feng took it to the maximum and found your own paths in that." Lin Wu explained.

"I see…" Cang Ci replied.

For a minute there was silence in the hall, as Lin Wu continued to look through the system windows. Cang Ci didn't disturb him either, as she knew he was thinking something.

Lin Wu's behavior of looking at system windows had just been taken as him being in deep thought by most of his servants and subordinates. At this point, all of them were used to it and didn't find it unusual.

"Speaking of cultivation, how is your body now?" Lin Wu suddenly asked.

"It is adapting, Master. My new organs are a lot better than my old ones and even provide me with more strength." Cang Ci said with excitement. "You should have seen the kings of the southern kingdoms and the three patriarchs. They were stunned by seeing my appearance and really thought I was sixteen. They couldn't figure out my bone age either."

"That's good. It should keep them on their toes and raise our reputation." Lin Wu said, feeling pleased.

"Though senior, I have something to request." Cang Ci spoke.

"What?" Lin Wu questioned.

"I think I'm ready for the next implant." Cang Ci answered with determination.
