Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

When Shirong willed for the green crystal spear to enter the ring, he had not expected that there would be a shock to his sense. His mind had almost been shaken, and he felt the connection he had with the spear through the brand being strained.

Even if he knew that a pseudo immortal tool would most likely be unable to enter the ring, he had not expected something like this. He thought that at most he would feel some kind of resistance, but this… this was different. He felt as if the spear was doing something to him.

This instinctively made Shirong want to guard against it, but then he remembered what the implications of that could be. This was no ordinary spirit tool but rather a legendary pseudo immortal tool that was desired by countless people and the strongest of cultivators.

Even the Immortal Ascension realm cultivators did not have to fortune of owning a pseudo immortal tool, not to mention a measly core condensation realm cultivator. Even if Shirong knew he had a lot of talent, he was not so blind that he would overestimate himself in matters such as these.

Thus considering all these things, Shirong let the spear do whatever it was doing and discovered something even more surprising. The moment he let go of his guard, the pressure he was feeling was gone, and the spear did something to his spatial storage ring.

He didn't know what exactly it was, but he could not see any change in his ring. Guessing that it was simply a reaction to the process of being stored into the ring, Shirong didn't mind it much. But then in the next instant, the green crystal spear disappeared from his hand.

"Huh? It actually went in?" Shirong said in a dumbfounded tone.

.

.

"It actually went in!" He then exclaimed.

Bei Wen and Ye Dai were also surprised by this, as they had seen the entire series of events that had happened. They had guessed that perhaps Young Master Shirong had failed in storing the spear into the ring, but he had unexpectedly succeeded.

"Congratulation Young Master Shirong!" Ye Dai and Bei Wen praised in unison.

But Shirong paid no heed to the two men's words. He was instead now focusing on his spatial storage ring. He peered into the ring using his spirit sense and saw the spear calmly floating around the empty space of the ring. He also saw the other items that were kept in his ring and fording them to be safe.

'A pseudo immortal tool that actually adjusted its characteristics according to my needs… this is… simply marvelous. No other power has a pseudo immortal tool that is like this, I'm sure. From what I've read, no normal pseudo immortal tool can do something like this, as that would mean it could think for itself.

No, no, no… even peak grade spirit tools only have very basic instincts and even pseudo immortal tools are no exception to this. Then that means… it is an immortal tool!' Shirong thought as his pupils went wide.

As Shirong was looking down at his ring, the two men Ye Dai and Bei Wen were able to see the change in his eyes, thus didn't know what conclusion Shirong had just reached. If they ever heard it, they would either be extremely afraid or extremely dangerous.

An immortal tool was not something that could even be found in this realm. Shirong had read some myths about them which told of cultivators who could imbue tools with a spirit. These tools were nothing but spirit tools that were widely known.

But even this imbuing of spirit did not give the tool sentience, and the tool merely had instincts that it could act on. These instincts were programmed at the creation of that tool and would not change ever again unless of course the tool was further enhanced and refined.

Then there were some cultivators that could take this a step further and make the spirit tools reach the apex. These tools were called as the pseudo immortal tools, such that one would have to nearly be an immortal in order to be able to obtain one.

The name pseudo immortal tool had multiple meanings and could be interpreted in many ways, but the most common meaning that people followed was a tool that could be worthy for an immortal.

Then finally there were certain cultivates who had discovered the secrets of the heavens and had found methods to further extend their lifespans, thus becoming 'Immortals'. These were the cultivators who broke through the limit of the tools and took a pseudo immortal tool fur therm turning it into an 'Immortal tool.'

An immortal tool could think for itself and had a level of sentience. These tools could greatly help the cultivator and would help them in battles. They would accommodate according to the cultivator's needs and fulfill their functions.

But such a thing was beyond any one of this realm, not to mention this world. Most cultivators only thought of the immortals as mere myths, but Shirong knew that it was not so. He had been secretly shown the forbidden records of his clan but the ancestor himself.

This was one of the rewards that he was given for his past accomplishments. At that time he had the choice to choose any material resource, but Shirong instead chose this as he knew that knowledge was perhaps the greatest advantage a cultivator could have.

If one had the right knowledge, they could change the very direction of fate itself!

Thus Shirong pleaded with the ancestor to let him read the forbidden records. There he had found out some of the hidden truths of this world. He found out that the place he lived was merely a single continent on one of the planets. This was his so-called 'world'.

He learned that there were countless of these worlds in a greater plane called as the 'Mortal Realm'.

An immortal tool was something from above this realm called as the "Immortal Realm'!
