Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

While the people felt pleased by the crystal plate Lin Wu had given them, they remembered something.

"K-king Lin Wu… I have a doubt." The King of the Blade Pine kingdom spoke.

"Please feel free to speak." Lin Wu replied.

"We all witnessed the battle at the Cang Lan sect… and have seen the power of the Calamity Fiend." Blade Pine Kingdom's ruler spoke. "Patriarch Cang Anyu and many others did their very best in going against it."

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

"And yet… they couldn't even put a scratch on the Calamity Fiend." The king said, with trembling hands.

The other people who heard this, felt the memories return. They recalled the despair and fear they had felt before.

"I fear that even if we do encounter the calamity fiend and contact you, we may not have enough time to defend ourselves. The sect's might be able to resist, but our kingdoms aren't that strong." The King admitted.

The other kings too nodded their heads, not caring for face. They all knew, face was useless in matters of life and death. There would be no benefit in pretending when all of them were in the same boat.

"Hmm… I can offer you the same formation arrays that I did for the southern kingdoms." Lin Wu replied.

"Y-yes, we know of that. You already spoke about this earlier, but what I want is something different." The King hesitated.

"Something different? What is it that he wants?" Wang Xiong muttered in wonder.

"This… This may be a shameless request, but… Can you provided us weapons that can actually resist and maybe even injure the Calamity Fiend?" The King requested.

As soon as Lin Wu heard this, his face turned stern.

"A request like this… is not something simple. You do know this right, King?" Lin Wu said in a serious tone.

"O-of course! We know it is not something easy. And I'm sure all of us will not be stingy with the cost. At the very least, I'm willing to pay as much that is needed to make something like that." The King of the Blade Pine kingdom hurriedly replied, afraid of offending Lin Wu.

Lin Wu's stern expression didn't help anyone ease at all either.

Shirong felt like it was too much for the kings to ask something like this.

'Humph! Does he think they are cabbages?' Shirong scoffed internally.

But unbeknownst to everyone, Lin Wu's true emotions were vastly different.

"AWWWWWW! YEAH! THAT'S WHAT I WANTED BABY!" Lin Wu shouted in his mind.

He tried his best to keep his expression serious and had to give this task to the system, or he might just break out in laughter.

'And here I was thinking I would need to wait longer and threaten them a bit more. Instead, the King of the Blade Pine kingdom asks for it himself. And others have the same thought too.' Lin Wu felt like his plan was working really well.

Five minutes passed like this in silence, while Lin Wu maintained his expression. To others, it felt like Lin Wu was deeply debating this, but in reality he was holding himself back from dancing around.

Only after Lin Wu felt like he had gathered his will did he decide to speak. But just as he was about to, Ancestor Long Qing spoke up.

"Please forgive him, King Lin Wu. I understand the King might have stepped out a little too much." Long Qing tried to cover for the King of the Blade Pine kingdom.

"No… it's fine." Lin Wu replied, making them feel relieved.

'As long as King Lin Wu is not offended, this is still fine.' They all thought.

But then, Lin Wu's next words threw them for a surprise.

"I'll make the weapons for all those that need it." Lin Wu stated.

"What?" The king's were stunned.

"What!?" Shirong said in disbelief.

He who had just thought he would be having the exclusive weapon now felt like cold water was being poured on him.

"Really!? You would be willing to do that King Lin Wu?" Long Qing asked doubtfully.

"I will, yes." Lin Wu confirmed. "Of course there will be costs to it. They will not be easy to make." He said before looking at Shirong.

"Take out the Emeraldine Heart spear." Lin Wu ordered.

"Y-yes, senior!" Shirong immediately replied.

~SHUA~

~CLANG~

The elegant crystal spear that shone like a gemstone appeared in the hall. The lights from the lanterns reflected off of it, making it look rather mesmerizing.

"This spear…" A few people, such as the Supreme elder of the Long clan, had seen Shirong use it before against the Calamity Fiend.

"Didn't this spear actually manage to push back the Calamity Fiend for a while?" they recalled the battle.

"This is the spear that junior Shirong used to battle the Skull God's avatar before?" Long Qing identified from the description.

"Indeed." Lin Wu spoke. "Why don't you tell them what it is?" he suggested.

"This is the Emeraldine Heart Spear. I found it in the Millennium Forest's forbidden zone several years ago when the meteor fell there." Shirong did as he was asked. "And it is an… Immortal Weapon."

"What!?" the kings of Ling Kingdom and the Pale Marble kingdom were stunned.

They had never thought that something like this would be found there.

Long Qing was even more shocked as an immortal weapon was a very dangerous as well as valuable thing. If any immortal weapon appeared in the Ming Dao world, it would easily cause a great war between all the powers.

It would cross the continents and might just lead to the fall of the entire world.

"And this spear was made by King Lin Wu." Shirong added, stunning them all.

"You made this?" Long Qing's eyes went wide, with a few fine scales appearing around them.

He was shocked enough that he couldn't control his bloodline! Even his bloodline was shocked!

"More accurately, it used to be an Immortal Weapon. It was damaged and right now it is only comparable to a Pseudo-Immortal Weapon."
