~HONG~
A massive wave of spirit qi shook the Millennium Forest.
But this time, there were no beasts being scared nor was there a beast tide due to it. Rather than that, the beasts seemed to be rather calm and were looking at the sky with a hint of excitement in the eyes.
In the sixth ring of the Millennium forest, several Nascent soul realm beasts along with two Dao Shell realm beasts were gathered.
"Seems like Master has had another breakthrough." The Emeraldine Horn beetle spoke.
"Hahaha! For someone like him, are there even bottlenecks?" The Demon Spine Ape king laughed.
"Definitely not." The Emeraldine Deep Earth mole replied. "Besides, he's been at the Dao Shell realm for a while. Right now he's just expanding his Dao shell." He added.
"Hmm… You are also at the Dao Shell realm Liger King. How do you think Master compares to other Dao Shell realm beasts?" An Emeraldine Jaw ant asked.
This Emeraldine Jaw Ant was the leader of all the other such ants and had joined under Lin Wu a few years ago. Among the many that had obtained Lin Wu's grace, he had turned out to be the strongest and had become qualified enough to join the 'inner circle' of the beasts.
"Hah! King Lin Wu's Dao Shell realm is entirely different than any other experts. He's already killed several Dao Treading realm beings while being at the Dao shell realm. That is certainly not normal. Just the number of times he's expanded his Dao Shell alone is terrifying.
I might not even last for a five minutes against him." The Twin Lights Liger King answered.
Hearing this the newer members of the inner circle were surprised.
"The difference between foundations is like this. King Lin Wu has made a firm foundation that has become unshakable now. From what I've seen, he should have been able to breakthrough to the Dao Treading realm long ago, but he has not done that.
He is likely looking for the right opportunity and is just reinforcing his foundation." The Slim arm ape king said while sipping some fruit wine from a large jar.
"All we need to know is that as long as we have King Lin Wu, our future will be secured. Our descendants will have a safe and prosperous life too." The old Beetle king spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.
The Emeraldine Horn Beetle looked at her ancestor with a look of concern. "Ancestor… is your…"
"Don't worry. It doesn't matter how long I live. I've seen enough and considering that King Lin Wu is here to take care of us insect beasts, I can pass away peacefully." The old beetle king spoke.
"Why don't you ask master? I'm sure he can help you." The Emeraldine Winged Swan asked curiously.
Everyone knew that the old Split Thorn Horn beetle king was running out of his lifespan. Even if he had consume a lot of resources like spirit fruits and even alchemical pills, he didn't get better.
"I don't want to trouble him. Besides… I think it is better for me to end this on my terms. I don't… feel the desire to live that long." The old beetle king said in a satisfied tone.
The others who heard it were confused and only a few could understand it.
"To live a life of satisfaction and die peacefully… that does sound nice." The Twin Lights Liger king muttered while a few memories passed through his mind.
~SHUA~
Just as the beasts were pondering on their mortality the spirit qi in the area turned into a vortex and started to pour into the Taiji Celestial's Tomb.
"And there it is… he's done it again." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape spoke while the aura on his body flickered.
If one were to observe it closely they would realize that the aura wasn't at the Nascent soul realm, but rather at the Dao shell realm!
That's right.
The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape had left all the other beast servants behind in dust and had become the first to reach the Dao Shell realm.
The Twin Lights Liger king didn't really count in this since he had always had an advantage of time and age. And neither did the Weasel Tim. Tim wasn't exactly Lin Wu's servant nor was he a subordinate.
Most of Lin Wu's servants and subordinates just considered him to be a child that Lin Wu had taken in. A rather powerful child. Though he was a little lacking in intelligence.
"Come on, let's go congratulate him." The Twin Lights Liger king spoke.
~sigh~
"I'll have to begin preparing for another banquet…" One of the Emeraldine Monkey's rubbed his forehead.
The target of their talk, Lin Wu was currently in the tomb and was rapidly absorbing copious amounts of Spirit qi.
~DING~

Lin Wu opened his eyes upon hearing the notification and glanced at it.
'That's another thing off the checklist. Now I shouldn't lack on the unknown bloodline either.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
"System, show me the updated Host Data." He ordered.
~DING~

"I still got plenty of spirit qi left over." Lin Wu said but his brows furrowed. "The effect of expanding the Dao shell doesn't seem to be as useful now."
Lin Wu had originally thought that the more he expanded his Dao Shell the better it would be. But after going past the ten meter mark, he had sensed that the gains had becoming diminished. He didn't want to stop just there and continued to expand it until he finally reached the 20 meter mark with his first Dao shell.
