Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Several Days had passed since Wang Xiong told Lin Wu about the Tournament.

Lin Wu had began supporting Pei Jun and Tian Xiaoge in this time according to the suggestion of the system. Of course, this support was mostly in the form of some resources. These were given on top of the resources those two were getting from the Frozen Cloud sect with their new rank of chief disciples.

It was especially even better since the number of people in the sect had effectively been halved while most of the resources had stayed the same, or even increased in certain aspects with respect to the Guna Mines.

With this multi-sided approach, Tian Xiaoge and Pei Jun were basically being 'force fed' and their cultivation base was being propelled. There was no issue of an unstable foundation either, due to the cultivation technique the two of them had comprehended.

Another thing Lin Wu noticed was that the thirteen disciples who had inherited the Sky Bright Daoist's technique, the 'Sky Bright Harmony' seemed to be progressing rather fast. If one disregarded the extra resources Wang Xiong, Tian Xiaoge and Pei Jun got, it would actually exceed their speed.

On some other aspects, it seemed even stronger than the one that Wang Xiong and the other two had, the Taiji Refinement scripture. This confused Lin Wu, and he asked the system to analyze why this issue was there considering that the Taiji Refinement Scripture was sourced from the Taiji Duan Unity scripture and the technique of the Sky Bright Daoist was an entirely different technique he had made.

The answer that Lin Wu got was something he had missed in his very question.

The Taiji Refinement Scripture was merely an inferior 'derivation' of the Taiji Dual Unity Scripture. Meanwhile, the technique of the Sky Bright Daoist that the thirteen disciples practiced was a 'complete' inheritance.

While it was still a personal comprehension that the Sky Bright Daoist had made after learning from the Taiji Dual unity scripture, its 'completeness' was what made it superior.

But this was just a temporary thing as the three of them could still progress and obtain the intermediate level inheritance of the Taiji Celestial and go even beyond that reaching the same level of inheritance that Lin Wu had and learn the Taiji Dual unity Scripture.

Regardless of it all, Lin Wu understood that it was only a good thing and it would help him in the long term. He looked forward to their progress in the future and wondered just what achievements they would be able to net him.

Lin Wu also got the system to do an analysis of the 'Sky Bright Harmony' cultivation technique.

The technique was different from the Taiji Dual unity Scripture in that it fully encompassed the Light element while adding other intricacies that would only be understood when one further cultivated it.

Lin Wu wondered if he could cultivate it to gain the light affinity as well, but the system's response was negative.

It was basically the same as trying to install an obsolete software from a different operating system into a computer that already had the latest version. There were multiple conflicts that made it impossible to cultivate.

Though Lin Wu also got the response from a system that the Taiji Dual Unity Scripture would allow him to gain the Light Affinity in the future on his own too. Along with the darkness affinity.

Lin Wu knew that because he had the full inheritance, it was actually harder to progress. In fact, he hadn't even covered half of the first level of the technique!

There was a huge qualitative difference between the different levels of inheritances and there was little he could do to cover for that other than diligently cultivating. Even the system couldn't help him more in this aspect as it was entirely depended on Lin Wu to comprehend it.

In addition to all this support Lin Wu provided to his subordinates, he didn't forget to initiate the plan for the alliance.

"How is the plan going?" Lin Wu contacted Wang Xiong.

"I've already told Patriarch Bing about it, senior. He hasn't given a concrete response yet as he seems to have some suspicions about the millennium forest and the shrine. But the accounts from Tian Xiaoge, Pei Jun and the others seemed to have alleviated that to some extent.

Additionally, we let the information out that the new elders only progressed faster due to the inheritance they got in the Millennium forest. We also told them that the inheritance was actually open to more people as long as they were willing to go through some trials." Wang Xiong answered.

"Oh? And are they willing?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Of course they are! In fact, they are itching to go there. But with the sect's condition, most of the missions had been halted and the disciples were restricted from going out. The elders feared that the disciples might be targets outside and picked off one by one by the other powers so as to weaken us even more." Wang Xiong explained.

"Hmm… get Yun Bai to convince the patriarch. Tell him that the security of the disciples will be guaranteed in the forest. He'll know how to tell the patriarch." Lin Wu directed.

"As you command Senior." Wang Xiong replied.

With that done, Lin Wu stopped the link and let out a breath.

"So many things to do, so little time…" Lin Wu muttered.

He looked at the many monitoring screens floating around him lazily and scrolled through them. Other than cultivating, he only had this pass time that he could do without impacting his cultivating speed.

Lin Wu had seen a clear reduction in the number of humans coming to the forest in the recent days as well.

'Seems like the recent happenings have scared the humans too… though it is understandable.' Lin Wu thought.

"Still… it makes me wonder what the other powers will do now? What approach will they be willing to take?" Lin Wu wondered to himself.
