Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

One by one, Lin Wu implanted the Pentagem into all the disciples. This was the same version that he had implanted into Tian Han in the Frozen Cloud sect and had the new function as well.

Lin Wu even added the same level of attack as Tian Han had triggered in the sect in all of the disciples. They didn't know this, but knew that they had gained some power deep in their bodies.

Still, storing a skill to be used at a later time in so many disciples was not easy and ended up over 75% of Lin Wu's entire spirit Qi. These were after all, full power attacks of his that would be triggered when certain conditions were met.

Lin Wu could modify them as needed and also activate them on his own if he needed so.

"There… now, all of you will have a trump card to save yourselves in the future." Lin Wu spoke after finishing the entire process.

"What is this great senior?" a disciple asked.

"Yes, what is it? I can feel the power within me…" Cao Du questioned.

"You can just think of it as something that will save you if you end up in a dangerous situation. Though it will only work once." Lin Wu answered.

Hearing this, the disciples were surprised.

"What level of danger can it protect us from great senior?" another disciple asked.

"Let's just say that most Dao Shell realm experts will suffer." Lin Wu stated.

He didn't want to tell them that the skill stored in them would poison everything around them. This would work as an additional counter in case any of them revealed this information.

It would allow them to catch the foe unaware.

After all, if even they didn't know what kind of an attack it would be, their foes would be even more lost.

"THANK YOU SENIOR!" The disciples all said out loud.

They knew what the weight of Lin Wu's words was. If even a Dao Shell realm expert could suffer from the trump card he had given all of them, then it was simply a great grace. Any spirit tool or other treasures that could do the same were greatly valued and hard to get.

The more powerful those tools were the more difficult it was to make them and the expense would increase too.

If they were back in the Frozen Sect they would have never had the opportunity to get something like this. It was safe to say that at their current cultivation base, Dao Shell realm experts would simply kill them with ease.

All of them felt excited about the future now. This was because the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape had told them that Lin Wu rewards those that do well. If they could get a reward like this by just breaking through, they couldn't wait to see what they would get in the future.

They wanted to do their best and please Lin Wu as much as they could.

Lin Wu's tactic of giving credit to the Twin Lights Liger King and Tim had worked out rather good. The beasts and all of Lin Wu's subordinates were motivated to work harder while also being loyal.

It was simply a win-win situation for Lin Wu and the others.

"Senior Jun said that you have a mission for us, senior?" Cao Du finally asked.

"Yes… I want you all to go back to the Frozen Cloud sect." Lin Wu replied, surprising them.

Some of them felt their hearts dropped, as if they were being abandoned. They frankly didn't want to leave the Millennium forest now. They got to cultivate in a good place with a high concentration of spirit Qi while also getting valuable guidance.

No one would want to leave favorable condition like this after all.

In fact, if it was the point of choosing between the Frozen Cloud sect and the forest, these disciples would definitely chose to leave the sect and just live in the forest.

They had gotten more benefit here than they ever had in the Frozen Cloud sect.

"Why are you banishing us senior?" Cao Du asked, feeling a bit afraid.

"Ahahha!" Lin Wu couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.

He could guess the thoughts of these disciples and knew that it did feel like he was banishing them.

"I'm not banishing you. I simply want you to do a mission." Lin Wu clarified.

"I see… we shall do as you command us, great senior!" The disciples said with a determine look on their faces.

"Alright then. I want you to return to the Frozen Cloud sect and assist Wang Xiong. The Frozen Cloud sect is currently in distress and greatly weakened. Your presence there will help stabilize it… or at least we hope to." Lin Wu explained.

"We understand, senior." The disciples replied.

They didn't know the full story behind the sect as of now, but Pei Jun had told them that the Frozen Cloud sect had undergone a great change.

"Pei Jun and Tian Xiaoge will return with you all. They will also explain to you about the sect's situation in detail. You can also ask them for any other information you want to." Lin Wu stated.

"Thank you, senior." The disciples said before taking their leave.

Lin Wu contacted Pei Jun about the disciples and instructed him to get ready to leave soon. Wang Xiong was also told about this and was rather excited now. The return of the disciples was a surprise that the Patriarch was going to get soon.

It was also a surprise that would decide the next course of action for Lin Wu.

Depending on the outcome of it all, Lin Wu would have a strong ally that will help shield him from the other powers until he grew strong enough to resist them all on his own. It was indeed a tall peak to climb, but Lin Wu wasn't going to back down from it.

"Now to wait and see…" Lin Wu muttered before he teleported back into his hall.

What Lin Wu didn't know was the upheaval he had caused for the human powers around the Millennium forest.

In all the surrounding settlements, whether they be cities, towns or villages, alarms were raised.

The people were already startled by the terrifying thunder, but when they were told that a beast tide was incoming, they were utterly horrified. They all tried to escape, but some were still unable to in time.

But when they realized that no beast tide came, they were confused.

The cities sent out their experts to check out the situation at the forest, and were surprised to find out that the beasts were not leaving it. In fact, a strange phenomenon was witnessed.

Several Core Condensation realm beasts blocked the weaker beasts from leaving the forest. With their powers, it was easy to do so and the beasts were too afraid to act. And once the dark clouds filled with thunder and lightning disappeared, the beasts retreated back into the forest it.

Today was a day of many surprises and they didn't know what was more weird.

The beast tide though, was a matter of concern that mostly boggled the commoners. What the higher ups were worried about though was the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Are you sure all he's saying is true?" An old elder questioned.

Currently, a meeting was underway in the Deer wood city. Several clan heads were all sitting together along with representatives from the other organizations of the city. This was after all, a matter of great importance.

"Yes patriarch! We have confirmed the account from other non related people too and they seem to say the same. The beasts really did protect us from the beast tide." A guard replied.

"Hmm… and The heavenly tribulation?" another elder asked.

"We didn't dare to go any further in the forest, elder. But some of the more experienced guards have confirmed that there were multiple tribulations. I recommend we request for help from the Capital.

We will need a Nascent soul realm expert to check it out. We are far too weak to even attempt that." The guard replied.

"That is indeed true…" the elder replied.

"Very well, it is decided then. We shall ask for an official intervention from the capital. I shall write to the royal court right away." The old man sitting at the head of the room spoke.

With this, the meeting ended and a message was soon sent out to the Royal Court of the Ling Kingdom. The news of a massive Heavenly Tribulation, along with the behavior of the beasts, was alarming to the royal court.

The King personally asked a few of his ministers to check it out.

This was a reasonable response considering the fact that the Millennium forest already had a forbidden area in it and was only getting more mysterious. The rise of the Twin Lights Liger King's cultivation base was also brought up, which made the ministers even more wary.

A similar scene played out in the other kingdoms that surrounded the Millennium forest as well as the sects. All of them were shocked and confused by the situation and wondered what was the mystery behind it.
