Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu had gotten acclimatized greatly to cultivating for long periods of times. Though his body might also have contributed to it, perhaps.

"Is it due to my crimson eyed emerald worm bloodline?" Lin Wu wondered.

He knew that entering a dormant cultivating state with the help of a system was greatly different from doing it on his own. When it was assessed by the system, it was more like he was under general anesthesia.

But doing it on his own meant that he was simply sleeping that long.

Which was highly unusual, as his natural sleep even when extended, was at the maximum a month or two. A year was simply too long. And this was considering he was not injured and was in a normal condition.

"No... that can't really be it. If it was, the system would have known it too and it would have been in the additional details provided by it. Which leaves us with only the Unknown bloodline..." Lin Wu analyzed.

'Just what is the unknown bloodline?' Lin Wu couldn't help but question again.

It was something even the system couldn't analyze and was blocked from prying further. There was just so much complexity that the system had termed it as a 'bloodline lock'. Only if Lin Wu further progressed his bloodline or cultivated to a higher realm, would it continue to unravel and reveal its secrets.

But as of now, that was not really available.

'While it doesn't really cause a problem for me, not knowing about the bloodline might only pose more danger. If this was one of the functions I didn't know, what other functions are hiding within it?' Lin Wu wondered.

"System, show me the host data summary." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

----

----

'Hmm... that increase is also a bit higher than expected.' Lin Wu observed.

"System, how much of an increase is that compared to my normal cultivation state?" Lin Wu asked, just in case.

~DING~

----

ANSWER: According to the system's measurements, the host's longer dormant cultivation state has a higher cultivation efficiency. It is higher by approximately 30% than normal.

----

"Thirty percent... that is big. Seems like it isn't particularly bad... but the implications of it might be troublesome." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he looked at a particular line in the status scene.

He was now twenty years old and was close to reaching the same age at which he had died in his past life.

"I'm almost double my past lives age... and yet it feels strange..." Lin Wu muttered to himself before pushing these thoughts away.

There were other important things at hand that he needed to address first.

He looked at the pending notifications and saw the completion notification.

~DING~

----

ANALYSIS COMPLETED: Data Extrapolated successful!

NOTIFICATION: Initiate new bloodline synthesis: Y/N?

----

"Do it system." Lin Wu permitted.

~DING~

----

INITIATING: New Bloodline Synthesis

NOTIFICATION: Time needed to complete: 12 hours, 30 minutes.

----

"Hmm... more wait... though this is almost nothing. I may as well check up on the rest at this time." Lin Wu said as he looked through his other messages.

With the communication jade functions directly melded into the system, it was rather easy for Lin Wu to check them. It was the same as having a smart phone and all messages were organized neatly.

Lin Wu could even filter through them depending on whether he wanted to see them in a chronological order or according to an order of importance. The order of importance was decided by the system of course, and if there was something really important, it would even wake him up.

Of course, this was only limited to the great decisions that the system couldn't analyze or take it on its own. Otherwise, the system would give a proper reply to the messages. The system was the reason why the millennium forest was becoming millennium kingdom steadily.

"Hmm... Kai Li has been to the forest three times since last year and has asked to meet me, but I wasn't there. Though she didn't message anything of importance so it shouldn't be problematic.

Then, Wang Xiong also sent a message... He's getting married?!" Lin Wu was a little surprised

It was a little unexpected for Lin Wu to see this. As far as he knew, the cultivators rarely married this early on, especially those in the position of someone like Wang Xiong who was the chief disciple and was going to be the patriarch in the future.

Most cultivators would take someone as a Dao companion but wouldn't really marry them formally until a long time later. They considered marriage a deeper and karmic link and wouldn't do that carelessly.

For mortals, a marriage was relatively light as compared to cultivators whose future cultivation could be greatly affected by it.

"This is strange. While he is with Ye Jin for a while now, he hasn't really said anything about marrying." Lin Wu muttered before a thought appeared in his mind.

"Hang on... is he even marrying Ye Jin?" Lin Wu wondered.

He contacted Wang Xiong that very moment.

"Senior!?" Wang Xiong was caught a little off guard, but didn't reject Lin Wu's communication attempt.

"You're getting married, I hear?" Lin Wu questioned.

"I am indeed." Wang Xiong responded.

"To whom, Ye Jin? And why a sudden decision? I thought you and Ye Jin were Dao Companions already." Lin Wu asked next.

"It's... Complicated. I'm not marrying Ye Jin." Wang Xiong said, making Lin Wu confirm his doubts.

'It really was something extra huh...' Lin Wu thought.

"Then who is it?" Lin Wu questioned.

"It is someone from the Cang Lan sect. I didn't know this, but apparently the Frozen Cloud sect owed a wedding debt to the Cang Lan sect from a long time ago." Wang Xiong spoke.
