Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Shirong heard the clan head's suggestion and found it to be reasonable.

"That would be alright with me clan head Lu, but…" Shirong was about to continue when he was interrupted.

"Do not worry Young master, I know the procedures. All of us will take a heavenly oath so you do not have to worry about trust." Clan Head Lu assured and pat test his chest with his fist.

Shirong nodded in acknowledgment and looked around at everyone. There were all of the other clan heads here, along with the more influential people of the city. Shirong even noticed the Head guard of the barrier surrounding the forbidden zone.

This made him frown for a moment as he remembered that he had yet to find out who had been sponsoring them here.

'Seems like the visit to the capital will solve a few more problems than I thought. Good that I waited till now or I would have had to waste time to travel there again.' Shirong thought to himself.

Seeing Shirong staring intently at everyone, Clan Head Lu was wondering what he was thinking of when it suddenly clicked to him.

"Young master Shirong, do you perhaps want to announce your breakthrough to them here today?" Clan Head Lu asked in a low voice.

Shirong snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing clan head Lu's words and thought over them.

"I guess it should be fine… yeah. You can announce it, go ahead clan head Lu." Shirong permitted.

"Excellent! This will be the perfect ending to the banquet for the others." The Clan head said in a happy tone.

~Slide~

The sound of a chair moving was heard as the clan head Lu stood up. Some of the people immediately noticed this and became silent. It was evident from the clan head's face that he had something important to say. Soon the rest of the hall also became silent after the higher ups of the respective clans gave their order to pipe down.

~Ahem~

"I have even more good news for you all here." Clan head Lu said and looked at their eager expressions. "Seeing that everyone showed him such hospitality, Young master Shirong has graciously decided to give us the chance to witness his breakthrough to the Nascent soul realm." He revealed.

"What! Really?" one of the clan heads exclaimed.

"The Young Master is already ready to break thought? This is impressive." Clan head Mu praised.

"Hahaha! Young master is a dragon amongst men, he simply cannot be judged by normal standards…" Clan head Xiong flattered.

The other clan heads and people similarly tried their best to bootlick and were truly happy for this opportunity. Having a chance to witness a heavenly tribulation was not something everyone had, and this was one of the very reasons why cultivation sects were so powerful.

Every time someone was about to break through to the Nascent soul realm, all of the disciples were made to observe this event so that they would have experience in it. Due to this, when they underwent their own heavenly tribulation one day, they would have a higher chance of success.

The last time anyone had seen a heavenly tribulation was when the Lu Clan head had undergone it. But even that was not seen by many people as it was done in seclusion and not openly like the Young master was about to do.

"Now then, I will be acting as the Dharma protector of Young master Shirong and the Lu clan will be setting up the Tribulation platform for the Young Master as well." Clan head Lu stated and looked around.

Then almost immediately,

"The Xiong Clan will volunteer and contribute as well!" Clan head Xiong yelled.

"The Mu clan will too!" The Mu clan head added.

One by one, every single power that was in their room decided to volunteer themselves. Even if their continuation was small, they would still have the chance to witness the heavenly tribulation. Looking at the peoples' reaction, Clan head Lu was happy.

"See young master, they all are willing to contribute. With the help of everyone, I guarantee that we will set up a proper tribulation platform for you." Clan head Lu stated.

"Thanks for your help clan head Lu," Shirong said with gratitude.

Having a tribulation platform would greatly assist him in withstanding the heavenly tribulation and was one of the necessities that he needed. Now there were a few more things that he still needed, but he reckoned they could be prepared within the month.

Shirong explained his particular requirements to clan head Lu, and he assured him that they would be taken care of. Shirong had given the time till his breakthrough as one month at the very minimum to clan head Lu, but knew that it may take him longer too.

Thankfully, he had the spear and would be going on a hunting spree soon and that should help him gain enough spirit qi to return to the pseudo nascent soul realm stage. He secretly placed his hand on his chest and felt the faint waves of power that thrummed through the armor.

"You are my fortune and mine alone. You will take me to the peak of this world and then beyond…" Shirong muttered to himself.

While this was not heard by anyone else, Lin Wu who was literally attached to him clearly heard it.

"Damn bro! Obsessive much?" Lin Wu muttered in his mind.

Still, Lin Wu was quite interested in everything that had just happened and was excited at the prospect of gaining a lot more data. He knew that this would only be more beneficial to him. Besides, he knew that Shirong was still at the late stage of the core condensation realm and would have to either cultivate or use him to gather spirit qi fast enough.

Lin Wu would be benefiting regardless of the method that was employed. This was simply a win-win situation for him and was the best kind of situation that he liked.

"Ah! The good days will soon be starting…"
