Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Cang Ci had known that Tim was quite strong and had actually managed to hold up against all of Lin Wu's subordinates before. He was very fast as well as very resilient. If anything, Cang Ci reckoned that Tim might be the strongest subordinate that Lin Wu had.

"Mmhmm, watch over the rest while I'm gone. It'll take a while I think, as I'll need to manually establish all of the teleportation arrays to the Gui Continent." Lin Wu spoke. "Though our contacts should still work, so that won't be an issue." He added.

"Very well, my king. I'll ensure that there are no issues by the time you return." Cang Ci said with determination.

Lin Wu then bid his farewell to Cang Ci and went to the Tomb.

"Let's see how much we can improve with this." Lin Wu muttered and took out all the corpses of the Grass Mane Monkeys.

~THUD~THUD~THUD~

All of them fell in front of him and he swept them up into his mouth with a little flick of his tail. The wind was under his control, and quickly sent the corpses into his mouth.

~CRUNCH~

The corpses were quickly grinded by his thousands of teeth and a new taste appeared in Lin Wu's mouth.

"Ooo… Minty!" Lin Mu was surprised by the taste of the Grass Mane Monkeys.

This was the first time he was finding the flesh of some creature was being minty.

'This can pair well with so many dishes…' A few thoughts that could pose a great danger to the Grass Mane monkey tribe appeared in his mind, but they were quickly suppressed. "Nah, they have more value alive. Besides, the grass on their necks should probably be behind this taste. That is something that can be harvested with no harm." Lin Wu said to himself.

What he didn't know was that for a few seconds there, every Grass Mane Monkey had felt a great terror in their hearts. But it had faded away as quickly as it had arrived. They would never know that they had almost been deemed as a side dish for Lin Wu.

~DING~

DAO TRACE: Updated!

Wood Dao Trace Compatibility: 90% -> 94%

——

"Oh? It actually managed to go up this much?" Lin Wu was surprised.

While it might look like a gain of 4% wasn't that much, but for Lin Wu it was. After all, he had consumed thousands if not hundredths of wood elemental materials, and creatures before any change had happened for him.

It had taken several years of consumption for the number to reach his current compatibility level. And now merely the consumption of a few beasts was making it jump.

Though it made Lin Wu wonder if it was to do with the qualities and abilities of these beasts.

'The Aquadream Ocean Lotus was simply too strong which is why I got the improvement, but for the Sun Tipped Crane and the Grass mane monkeys it should be their ability of absorbing sunlight as affinity to wood respectively.' Lin Wu recalled the information he had read.

The Sun Tipped Crane could scabrously absorb sunlight and replenish its strength. This allowed it to fly nonstop for many months, and even hunt for a similar time simply by relying on the sun.

This was actually the reason why the Hu clan had a hard to finding the beast, since it would simply hide high above the clouds for months on end. The ability to absorb sunlight was something that plants used, and it was unknown as to how the beast had developed it.

Then there was the Grass Mane Monkey which had a high affinity to wood and naturally contained a lot of wood energy. They could also use the plants around them and absorb the wood elemental energy from them to cultivate.

This was how the leader of the Grass Mane Monkey's had managed to reach the Adult Soul Stage of the Nascent soul realm despite having low spirit Qi concentration in the minor plane.

~SHUA~

But just as Lin Wu was thinking over this all, he felt a change in his body.

His innate skill of Chimeric Adaption and Chimeric Organogenesis seemed to be reacting at this moment.

'Looks like I'll have a good surprise soon…' Lin Wu thought and let his body revert to the organic form.

He had transformed it into the crystalline form since he was using it as the Worm King Lin Wu and needed others to see the good side. But now that it was done, he could revert it to the form of the calamity fiend.

~DING~

"It's finally there!" Lin Wu looked at the new sub skill that had finally been added.

It was one of the things that had been missing for a while and Lin Wu was wondering when he would get it.

Lin Wu raised his tail and a vine suddenly sprouted out of it. The vine grew to a few meters in size and then a few seconds later, tens of leaves started to grow on it.

The leaves were of different shapes and sizes too, with some being as small as a mint leaf and some as big as palm leaves. But that wasn't all as Lin Wu continued to experiment with the leaves, changing them beyond what was normal.

From the basic plant leaves, Lin Wu soon started to form leaves that belonged to spirit herbs and plants. And from there, he further modified them into leaves that had special properties.

There were leaves that were burning, leaves that sparkled with lightning, leaves that were dripping with water and some that seemed to be swirling with darkness. Each leaf was different and seemed to contain a different element within it.

'This skill is a lot different…' Lin Wu realized.

So far there hadn't been any other skill that allowed him to add elements to his parts as good as this.

"Looks like developing plant skills seem to be rather fruitful… haha!" Lin Wu chuckled at his own joke.

Though one thing that Lin Wu understood was the fact that plants seem to have the greatest adaptability in harmonizing different elements. On its own, it wasn't that impressive, but to Lin Wu, this could easily be the basis of a great ability he might be able to make later on.

Even the system was running analysis on it as he was thinking about this, and many simulations were running too.

Lin Wu ended up playing with his new skill for about an hour before he finally remembered that he had another thing he was supposed to do.

"Ah! Tim. I need to take him too…" Lin Wu decided to just teleport the beast to himself.

~SHUA~

A teleportation circle opened next to him, and the figure of Tim appeared from it. The spiky strip on his back seemed to glowing in a yellow light while a few rocks seem to be floating in front of its claws.

~THUD~

But perhaps due to being disturbed by Lin Wu, the rocks collapsed and the glow faded away as well.

"Oh? What happened?" Lin Wu wondered what the weasel was doing.

"I learned how to control rocks!" Tim replied coherently.

"Rocks?" Lin Wu raised a brow. "Show me." He asked.

"Okay!" Tim nodded its head and raised its claws once more.

~SHUA~

His back started to glow in a yellow light once more, but this time a trail of energy seemed to be traveling down its claws. This energy then came out from them and coalesced to form the rocks.

'He's actually condensing pure earth elemental spirit Qi into a solid form?' Lin Wu could see what Tim was really doing.

The words that Tim had used to describe the act was a weak description for it.

In fact what he was doing was nothing less than astonishing.

Four brown rocks swirled in front of Tim's claws, each of them releasing a heavy feeling of earth.

'These are basically the equivalent of Peak Grade Spirit stones!' Lin Wu understood. 'And not just spirit tones, but earth elemental spirit stones!' he was impressed.

The value of something with such pure energy was quite high and its uses were many too.
