Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"Whoa… this is rather high quality." Upon sitting on the furs, one of the envoys of the Luguo kingdom couldn't help but say.

"Of course. We picked the best for our guests." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape said before giving a look to the other Nascent soul realm beasts.

They all scattered and it seemed like they had left the humans alone.

The envoys relaxed a bit seeing this, and some event took breaths of relief.

"Oh? I thought you were going to keep us confined here with those beasts." Junior elder Kai Li said.

"The others were here as a welcoming party. How could we disrespect guests on the first visit. I've heard the human kingdoms have such customs." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape replied.

"So you learned about human customs as well… that is rather diligent of you. For a beast, you are rather civilized." Kai Li couldn't help but admit.

The beast in front of her surely had fur covering his head and body, but his demeanor and manners were perhaps many times better than a lot of aristocrat she had seen. And along with it, she felt a certain level of power from the beast too.

'The beast is rather cunning… having all this power and yet being able to act humble.' Kai Li was unsure whether she was a match for the beast or not.

It was hard for her to accurately measure the beast's cultivation base just from the passive spirit Qi fluctuation they were emitting. There was a strange quality to them that made her spirit sense muddled, unable to accurately sense it.

She could of course directly probe a beast, but even she knew that there were limits to testing others. Even if they were beasts, with the current situation where they knew little, it was better to not go over the top.

"Thank you, though I cannot take all the credit myself. That would go to my king and my master." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape stated.

"A King and a master? Not the same person?" Shirong caught on.

"No… My King is my King. While my master is… different." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape replied.

"And who might that be? To teach such manners and more, it would have to be a human." The envoy from the Cang Lan sect asked.

"My master was indeed human. And he is also the person whose inheritance lies here." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape revealed.

Hearing this, the brows of many were raised.

"A beast like you gained a human inheritance? Does it even work like that?" someone asked, feeling confused.

It was understandable since no one had heard of beast gaining an inheritance, especially a cultivation inheritance that was not just some natural treasure of a spirit herb. Those were things beasts could use easily and were acceptable.

"Of course. My master's inheritance is not something that a technique from lowly world like this can compare to." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape said with a wide smile, his fangs visible.

"Not this world?" Shirong's ears immediately perked up.

A spark of excitement appeared in his mind and he forcefully suppressed his expression.

"Indeed." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape nodded his head.

All the envoys, even those from the top sects and clans, couldn't help but feel enticed now. They were privy to information that many lower powers were not aware of and knew exactly what those words meant.

They didn't doubt the beast either, for the very meaning of a beast knowing about it spoke volumes.

'Just as King Lin Wu thought it would be… a little hint and all of them are baited.' The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape thought to himself.

~clap~ clap~

"Bring in the refreshments for our guests!" An Emeraldine Monkey clapped his hands.

~shua~

~thud~thud~thud~

"Teleportation?" Patriarch Bing almost stood up upon sensing the spatial fluctuations.

The Lian clan and the other top sect envoys were the same, having felt them too.

"Huh? How are those trays moving?" Under the surprised eyes of all, several trays appeared out of nowhere.

"Wait, are those… tortoises?" when the trays reached closer, they finally saw that underneath the trays were actually tortoises.

"Please, enjoy. These are the spirit fruits we grow here ourselves, as well as some wine we brew." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape spoke.

The envoys all took some spirit fruit, trying them.

"Wow… this is… a mid grade spirit fruit."

"Not use that, look at this!" someone pointed. "Isn't this the pink bottom peach?

The eyes of the envoys went from fruit to fruit, finding various kinds of them, the lowest quality being the mid grade ones and the best ones being the high grade ones.

Lian Xiaojian's eyes were almost glowing, seeing the large amount of good quality fruits and his mouth almost watered. He barely managed to hold back with the words of his father echoing in his mind.

'I can't act like that. I need to be a bit more dignified, like the heir of the Ji clan.' Lian Xiaojian thought to himself as his eyes went to Shirong.

To him, Shirong was perhaps the best example of an heir. Lian Xiaojian could tell from just a look that Shirong was many times stronger than him, and possibly stronger than all of his siblings.

Even junior elder Kai Li seemed to be inferior to him and only elder Ruanjian might be the man's match here. Then there was the dignity and handsomeness that Shirong bore, which was greatly lacking in Lian Xiaojian.

Various thoughts and opinion passed through the minds of the envoys here. But one thing was common in them. Their inclination towards the Millennium forest was now tilting towards the positive side.

Just the basic greeting and starting benefits they had shown right now were better than what even top sects could afford. And that was not even considering the inheritance of an expert that was from another world, a greater world than the Ming Dao world!
