Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu's words were enough to make the statue go silent.

And after about thirty seconds, the statue understood what Lin Wu meant.

"You aren't from the Ming Dao world?" The statue questioned.

"No… I am from the Immortal realm." Lin Wu answered.

"An invader?" The statue said lightly.

"No, I'm not. If anything, I am the opposite." Lin Wu said before a wave of energy rose from him.

~shua~

Two streaks of lights, one black one white rose from his body. The statue became alert at the moment, feeling danger from it.

'Yin and Yang spirit Qi?' It quickly identified.

But then it saw the two opposite colored spirit qi's coming together. The spun and shifted around each other before forming a circular pattern. This pattern continued to morph until it turned into something that most cultivators would know.

It was the Yin and Yang Symbol.

But that wasn't all the statute understood. The aura that was coming from it was different and gave off a signature feeling.

"This spirit Qi signature… the Taiji Celestial?" The statue recognized.

"At least you know this much." Lin Wu said with a chuckle.

"But how? There were supposed to be no traces of the Taiji Celestial here." The statute was confused.

"Oh, you were just mistaken. The Taiji Celestial… My master established one of his 'tombs' on this planet. And it has existed here for a long time… since before the so-called beacons of the guardian beasts were even awakened." Lin Wu spoke, making the statue feel surprised.

"Impossible! How could we not know about this?" The statue was doubtful.

"Humph, if you weren't staying dormant all the time, you would have known." Lin Wu scoffed. "And you would also know about the invasion attempt that had been made before." He added.

"What invasion attempt?" The statute questioned, its eyes flared up.

"The Skull God, does that name ring a bell?" Lin Wu asked.

"No." The Statue denied.

"How about the Shadow Calamity?" As soon as Lin Mu said that, the statue's expression changed.

"Yes… you do know about it, don't you?" Lin Wu smiled.

"What about the Shadow Calamity?" The statue asked, trying to compose itself.

"How unbecoming of you as guardians… You don't even know the many attempts that had been made by the Shadow Calamity. Even the invasion during which you three were awakened was orchestrated by the Shadow Calamity." Lin Wu replied, maintaining his smile.

"That's…" The statue found it hard to believe.

But Lin Wu then went on to explain all that had happened. The statue didn't believe this at first either, but it took little effort for it to simply check the Long Clan's records.

Since the Long Clan had a responsibility of keeping a detailed record of all that happens on the Long Continent, the statue simply accessed that. Being the clan spirit, it basically had no restrictions whatsoever.

His authority was the highest after all.

"Preposterous, trying to hide from me??" The statue was quite agitated by the end.

"Being angry now is useless." Lin Wu retorted. "You can't do much in that state anyway can you?" he asked.

The statue was taken back by his words. 'It can't be? How can he know that?'

"You… W-what are you talking about?" The statue pretended to not accept it.

"You condition. You are sealed… and not just that you seem to be separated from the grand array of the guardians as well." Lin Wu said calmly.

"That's not true." The statute denied.

"Haha! You can't even access the temples of the guardians can you?" Lin Wu had already seen through it all.

The more time he spent there, the more time the system got to analyze. Earlier too, Lin Wu had opted to wait at the Three Horns place for this very reason. He wanted to let the system analyze and access the formation array of the Long Clan.

And just a while ago, the system had finished that task, having gained access to the entire Long Clan's formation array.

Now if Lin Wu wanted to, he could disable the array or even make it self destruct. If that was done, at least half of the Long Clan's members should perish in that. The array was after all very strong.

It wouldn't be wrong to call it the strongest array on the Long Continent if he excluded the Taiji celestial's tomb.

Only the array around the abode of the clan spirit was something that was independent from the rest of the clan array. It was also similar in complexity to the Taiji Celestial's tomb.

But that was now all a thing of the past, as the system had analyzed it all. Lin Wu could now see all the secrets that were hiding within the Long clan.

And this included the secrets of the clan spirit as well.

~DING~

ANALYSIS COMPLETED: Long Clan Grand Array

LONG CLAN GRAND ARRAY: Access obtained

DEFENSIVE ARRAY INTEGRITY: 100%

SUPPORTIVE ARRAY INTEGRITY: 90%

COMMUNICATION ARRAY INTEGRITY: 50%

—Sub-array: Inter-world communication array (offline)

——

The Defensive and supportive arrays were the main arrays of the Long clan and were only based in their territory. But the Commutation array was the largest array in the entire long continent.

If one compared the sheer area that it took, it was even bigger than the Taiji Celestial's tomb array. It spread all over the continent and even went past it linking ups various areas.

The main function of this array was to link up with the many guardian temples that were present all over the world. It also allowed the guardians to communicate amongst themselves.

But hidden within this, there was a sub-array. This was also what Lin Wu had been looking for a long time.

'While I managed to get coordinates for an immortal world from the Lian clan's treasure, this inter-world array will give me direct coordinates to the entire Immortal Realm.' Lin Wu felt joyous.

But that wasn't the extent of his joy. What excited him most was the last part of the notification.

"Forget the other guardians… You can't even contact your elders in the higher world, can you?" Lin Wu teased.

"How do you?" the statue was stunned at this point, finding it hard to figure out everything.

"Like I said, the Taiji Celestial's tomb has been here for a long time. We have old records that you don't know of. Not to mention, I've been here for several thousands years as well." Lin Wu causally replied. "Since before you guardians awakened." He added.

The Statue had no words to say after getting all the secrets revealed like this.

An awkward silence reigned for about two minutes, which Lin Wu initially brewed. After this though, the statue could no longer hold himself from asking.

"What is it that you want?" The statue questioned.

"I want to know… everything. Why you can't contact the other guardian beasts, why you are in charge of this world being descendants… as well as to why you stay dormant for years on end." Lin Wu answered.

"And don't try to give me excuses. I've been to the other guardian temples in the immortal word, they do not function like you. The guardians do not keep on staying dormant and hiding.

They actively bestow skills and techniques upon others." Lin Wu added.

The statue inwardly sallowed its saliva feeling intimidated by Lin Wu. For the first time in ten thousand years, it actually felt like there was someone beyond it. The other guardians were the only equals for it till now.

"I… I… I don't know…" The statue uttered.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Lin Wu raised his brows.

"This world… everything was wrong since the day we awakened." The statute started to speak.

"We were supposed to have woken up the moment the humans discovered all our beacon statues. But for some reason, that never happened." The statue was about to say more but Lin Wu interrupted it.

"Wait, you mean to say all FOUR statues needed to be discovered for you all to awaken?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Yes. Discovering any one of us would reveal the location of the others and thus they should all be discovered. But for some reason that never happened.

Even when we were forcibly awakened by the humans, we couldn't figure out what had happened." The statue replied.

"Couldn't you have talked to each other when you there awakened?" Lin Wu asked.

"We couldn't, we barely had any time. After awakening we pushed back the invaders and killed the rest. But doing that drained all of our energy and we were forced to enter dormancy.

On our second awakening we only had enough energy to pass on the inheritance to the humans. And by the time we awakened for the third time, three hundred years had already passed by." The statue replied.

"The communication arrays… they were broken by that time but weren't broken before?" Lin Wu realized.

"Yes. I could still sense the other guardians, on my first and second awakening. But on the third, I could not."
