Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Soon, Shirong was done obtaining the inheritance and had awakened.

~huu~

Taking a deep breath, Shirong went over all that he had learned in this time. The information was imprinted in his mind and he could see it just like it was a book in his hands.

"Such profound technique… and this is only the intermediate level inheritance too… just what level is Great Senior's ability at?" Shirong couldn't fathom.

Since Shirong had gone through the full trial, he had also gotten to know of the different tiers of the inheritance. While he was a bit disappointed that even with all his effort, he had only obtained the second level of the inheritance, he was still astounded by the technique.

Both the cultivation technique and the Qi skill that came with it were beyond anything Shirong had ever seen. And while he had not even practiced it yet, he could tell the difference just by a glance at the content.

"The Immortal Sky Shaker art may as well be a trash manual the beggars sell in the villagers compared to this…" Shirong said to himself.

While he was thinking to himself how ridiculous it had been to consider his original cultivation technique at the top level, a string of runes appeared in the hall.

~shua~

"Huh?" Shirong turned around and saw Lin Wu appearing from the teleportation formation.

"Great Senior!" Shirong greeted with cupped hands.

Lin Wu gazed at the man and scanned him from top to bottom. He could see the spirit Qi within Shirong's body thrumming with power.

'He should breakthrough to the Dao Shell realm soon enough with the Taiji Inversion Cycle Refinement technique.' Lin Wu reckoned.

"So you finally completed all the trials. Impressive." Lin Wu praised.

"It was also due to your help, Senior. If not for the spear, I don't think I would have even been able to get the basic level inheritance." Shirong replied.

"That's good." Lin Wu nodded his head.

The trials allowed one to use all that one had on themselves, as it could fully replicate one's battle capability. The illusory arrays used for it were the highest level Lin Wu had ever seen until now and the system was in agreement.

In fact, the system had even used the illusory arrays to improve its own simulation capabilities too.

"Don't worry about the inheritance you got through. You can retake the trial in the future and get the opportunity to obtain the highest level inheritance." Lin Wu added.

"I can?!" Shirong was surprised.

He didn't know something like this was even possible since the trial had not told him anything like this.

And this was right, too. As the trial truly didn't allow one to retake it, but Lin Wu had the system running it and could make such changes.

"Yes. Though it can't be taken just anytime or without preparation. It is best to only take it when you know for sure that you are ready. For context, I'm not sure if even an immortal Ascension realm cultivator can obtain the third level of the inheritance." Lin Wu explained.

"Is that so…" Shirong felt a lot more satisfied upon hearing this.

"Also, you should be close to a breakthrough now. You should adapt to the Taiji Inversion Cycle Refinement Technique and then use that to breakthrough. There shouldn't be any bottleneck." Lin Wu suggested.

"I was intending to do that too senior. I can already feel the bottleneck loosen, and I haven't even used the technique yet. Simply the insights I got from the inheritance alone are enough for me to figure out a solution to the bottleneck." Shirong spoke with excitement.

"That's great." Lin Wu casually said, but could see that Shirong wanted to say something more too. "Do you have something to say?" he asked.

"Umm… yes senior. But I don't know if its worth your time." Shirong replied.

"Go on, speak. It's fine." Lin Wu stated.

He had just woken up from a nice sleep and was feeling good too so didn't mind this little thing.

"It's about the crystal spear…" Shirong said, hesitation still in his voice.

"What is it? Did something happen to it?" Lin Wu asked.

"No, no… the spear is fine. It's just that… I wanted you to name it." Shirong replied.

"Name it? It's the crystal spear." Lin Wu said.

"Oh I know, but I reckoned it deserved a proper name now." Shirong replied.

"Ah… I see…" Lin Wu nodded his head.

Lin Wu had never given the spear a proper name since he himself was the spear and didn't think there was a reason to do that. But now that it really was an independent spear, giving it a name seems fine.

"Alright then, I'll give it a name." Lin Wu stated.

"Yes, that will be a great honor for me." Shirong replied.

Lin Wu thought over it for a bit before speaking, "show me the spear."

"Here!" Shirong immediately took it out.

Lin Wu glanced at the spear and it automatically floated it up to him.

"From this day onwards, this spear shall be named— 'Emeraldine Heart Spear'." Lin Wu declared.

~SHUA~

A few runes formed in the air automatically and flew towards the spear before imprinting on to it.

Now on the handle of the spear, its name was forever carved.

"Emeraldine Heart Spear… I shall forever cherish it." Shirong said before taking the spear back.

He caressed the spear's shaft and glanced at the runes that looked elegant.

~humm~

The spear lightly hummed in his hand as if responding to him and calmed down after a big.

"Thank you for this, Senior." Shirong said, feeling grateful.

"It was nothing too big." Lin Wu replied truthfully.

"I shall take my leave then, senior. I'll prioritize my breakthrough first and then talk to you about the plans after that." Shirong stated.

"Very well." Lin Wu replied before causally teleporting away.

Shirong was teleported out a few seconds after Lin Wu was gone too. After all, he was currently in the halls that were only reserved for the trials and weren't allowed for normal use.
