This was the first time the system was scanning and analyzing the data for a nascent soul realm beast, and thus it had taken it a bit longer than normal. By now, Shirong had calmed down and thanked his luck that the spear got him out of there quickly.

Because the beast was a flying beast, Shirong would not have been able to detect it using his spirit sense as the distance would have been too long. He didn't know how, but the green crystal spear had sensed it beforehand and warned him to run.

Shirong peeked out of the cave and ensured that the beast was gone before leaving it. In reality, even if Shirong had hidden in a cave, he knew that his chances of survival would be low if the flying beast decoded to attack him.

The cave was merely a way to get out of the sight of the flying beast so that it did not decide to eat him on a whim. Also from the sheer size and spirit qi waves, Shirong could tell that it was no common Nascent soul realm beast.

'That beast was at the very least an Adolescent stage Nascent soul realm beast…' Shirong thought to himself.

While Shirong had confidence in himself that he would be able to handle an Infant stage Nascent soul realm beast or cultivator, and escape from a Child stage Nascent soul realm beast, there was no chance that he would be able to do anything against an Adolescent stage Nascent soul realm beast.

The difference in the strengths would be so much that he would barely have to blink and he would be eliminated.

TARGET IDENTIFIED: Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle

CULTIVATION BASE: Adolescent stage Nascent Soul realm

INFO: There is limited data available on the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle, and the ones obtained from the books do not have anything about the beast.

——

"Huh? This is strange… if this is an old beast that has been living here for a long time, why do the people from the Deer Wood city not have any information on it? They had information on the Twin Light Liger King, the Split Thorn Horn Beetle King, but not this?" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

He could understand about the Olive Viper King as it was a newly grown Nascent soul realm beast that only became one, two years ago. It was normal that the people from the Deer Wood city did not know about it.

'Wait a minute… I know of the four rulers but what is the last one?' Lin Wu wondered.

He activated the communication link with the Mole beast and asked him this question.

"Oh, that is the weakest Nascent soul realm beast of the five rulers being at the Child stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It is called as the Slim Arm Ape and doesn't really appear much. He mostly stays in his cave and actually hasn't been seen for about ten years now. But his subordinates still roam around the area, thus we know that it is still active." The mole beast answered.

"Is there anything peculiar about this beast?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Hmm… I've heard that the Slim Arm Ape can communicate with humans. That's all I can think of." The mole beast replied.

"Okay…" Lin Wu replied before stopping the connection.

He had not expected that there would be a beast that could communicate with humans here, that too one that would be in the Nascent Soul realm. Lin Wu wondered if this beast would be more reasonable than the other beasts and if he would be able to talk with it.

Shirong was currently sitting inside the cave again. This was much better for him, as he wouldn't have to get wet in the rain anymore. The shelter he had made before wasn't able to stop much of the rain, and even if he could make better shelter, it would have been impossible without creating a large amount of commotion.

Shirong knew that causing a conflict at the night time in the millennium forest, that too in the fourth ring would be quite dangerous. Thus he just decided to stay here for the time being, till the sun came up. Usually a cave like this would also have some water leaking into it due to the rain but it had a slightly elevated Stone floor.

This caused the water that entered it to spread to the sides instead of all over the floor. The cloth that he had used to put the spear on was left behind at the tree, thus the spear now kept on the ground directly.

Lin Wu did not mind it, as he was busy thinking about his own things.

Shirong spent the rest of the night in the cave while thinking of the Eagle Beast. He had seen the direction it was heading towards and it was to the west.

'If it is going towards the west and leaving the Millennium forest, then it would reach the plains first. But there is nothing in the plains except for a few towns and villages with farmland. A nascent soul realm beast wouldn't attack humans without provocation that too commoners, that would not even give it benefits.

Besides, if it wanted to eat humans the better choice would be to head to the Deer wood city, with its strength I'm pretty sure it would be able to massacre the entire city without facing much Resistance.' Shirong analyzed.

Soon the rain stopped and the sun could be seen peeking from behind the clouds. A pale rainbow could also be seen in the distance, which made the already beautiful forest look even more enchanting. Shirong picked up the spear and began his journey again.

He didn't even think if he needed to report the sighting of a Nascent soul realm beast to the authorities as his main goal was to get stronger. He had no time to think of what would happen to the others.

Report chapter

It had been about two days since the encounter with the Silver Beak Sky Soar eagle. Shirong and Lin Wu had crossed over the fourth ring and were close to the border of the fifth ring, which was their destination. Shirong had already encountered a few core condensation realm spirit beasts and had been able to kill five of them.

These were all early stage core condensation realm spirit beasts and thus were easy for him. Lin Wu had also obtained a massive amount of spirit qi by now and already had enough to upgrade once more. The spirit qi was already half way to the Peak stage of the Core condensation realm.

Though Lin Wu knew that upgrading it was not a good idea here. Instead, he was focusing on increasing his spirit sense range now. In the past two days, he had managed to increase it to about 180 meters. This had also taken up a bit of the spirit qi he had obtained and thus increased his consumption.

Shirong was also half way to the peak stage of the Core condensation realm. Since he was already a pseudo nascent soul realm cultivator before he would install reach it when he gets to the peak as he already had the understanding and comprehension.

"A couple of more days here should be enough to get back to my previous level… or I can try to see if I can double temper the spirit qi and use that technique… never thought I would ever get the chance to even try it," Shirong muttered to himself.

Lin Wu's interest was peaked as soon as he heard Shirong talk about a new technique and was wondering what it.

'If it is something that is surpassing even for Shirong, then it must be something good.' Lin Wu thought.

Just as he was thinking of this, the communication link he had with the Mole beast was activated.

"Master," The Mole beast spoke.

"Oh right, it's time for the daily report. What do you have for me today?" Lin Wu replied.

He had been getting updates from his two servants once every day, though it had mostly been about their journey. The beetle beast had already reached the area where her ancestor lived and had been taken into their ranks rather quickly.

From her tone of voice, Lin Wu could tell that her kin was quite happy about her becoming a core condensation realm spirit beast. Now only the mole beast was left to do his task. He was supposed to gather the information about the Olive Viper king, and he was still far from his area.

"Master, it going to take me longer to reach the territory of the Olive viper king." The Mole beast reported.

"Oh, why?" Lin Wu questioned.

"There has been an upheaval in the forest since one of the five rulers of the forest has left his position." The mole beast answered.

"Oh, you mean the Silver Beak Sky Soar eagle? Yeah, I saw him flying in the sky and going towards the west." Lin Wu replied.

"YOU SAW HIM, MASTER?!" The mole beast said with shock.

"Why the shock? I saw him when I asked about him last time." Lin Wu said in a calm tone.

"Master, he massacred all of his subordinates and ate them. He also killed the beasts in the territories surrounding his and is now wanted by all the four rulers. He has killed beast belonging to each of their territories." The mole beast explained.

Now it was Lin Wu's turn to be shocked, as he had not expected something like this to have happened.

"Why would it do something like this?" Lin Wu questioned.

"No one knows. All the beasts in the fifth ring and sixth ring are disturbed about this. Some say that it finally went crazy with age and attacked everyone while some think he was annoyed with everyone here and decided to leave the forest in a domineering manner." The mole beast replied.

"I… doubt it is the last option… anyway. Anything else?" Lin Wu further asked.

"Nothing except that the beast conflicts will increase from now. A lot of new territories have been freed and the beasts will battle to take over them. If master is coming to this area, he needs to be careful." The mole beast replied.

"Alright, that will be fine." Lin Wu said and stopped the communication link.

"Did it really go crazy? Or is there some other reason behind his actions? Hmm… wait. He didn't seem all that agitated when it flew by us. Then what could it be?" Lin Wu wondered.

~Roar~

Suddenly the roar of a beast could be heard from the distance and Shirong became alert. He spread his spirit sense and scouted the area ahead carefully. Lin Wu on the other hand looked at his map and knew that there was going to be a beast nearby.

This was merely the border of the fifth ring, and it was time for the beasts to increase in number.

"A mid stage core condensation realm spirit beast… good. This will be a good practice." Shirong muttered after determining the cultivation base of the beast.

He went after it and saw the beast prowling through the trees. There were a few qi refining realm beasts in front of it, that it was probably hunting. Lin Wu took a look at the beast and found it to look like a mix between a horse and an armadillo.

It had claws instead of giving and also had armored plates on its body. But from the shape and size of its body, it looked like a horse and Lin Wu was intrigued but it. The head of the beast was like that of a thin horse and its neck was much more flexible than that of a horse's.

"What does this beast do? Does it run like a horse or dig like an armadillo and what the hell was that weird roar?" Lin Wu had a lot of questions about this one.

He even found the beast to be weirder than himself.

Report chapter

"System scan this beast for me…" Lin Wu ordered, before Shirong slaughtered it the next minute.

~Ding~

SCANNER ACTIVATED: Target identified.

TARGET NAME: Galloping Armadillo

CULTIVATION BASE: Mid stage of the core condensation realm.

INFO: The galloping armadillo is a beast that has diverged from its previous species and has adapted to run on the ground instead of digging, though it stumbles a lot of it goes beyond a certain speed and then falls. Their survival rate is twenty percent for reaching a hundred years of age.

——

"Huh, you are a defective one…" Lin Wu muttered as he was stabbed through the head of the Galloping Armadillo.

The armor plates on top of its head posed no resistance to Lin Wu's sharp spear tip and were easily pierced. Lin Wu quickly got to absorbing the Spirit Qi and vital energy feeling amazing.

~Ding~

——

SPIRIT QI OBTAINED: 986 Units [liquid spirit qi]

QI STORAGE: 24876 units [liquid spirit qi]

VITAL ENERGY OBTAINED: 657 units

VITAL ENERGY STORAGE: 20298 units

——

Lin Wu passed on a part of the spirit qi to Shirong who quickly absorbed it. He had now become used to it and was no longer as cautious as before. He would absorb the spirit qi he got from the spear as quickly as possible. This was because not only was he continually using spirit qi while holding Lin Wu but that he was also using his spirit sense to constantly check for danger.

The area had become more dangerous and he could feel the strange feeling in the air. There were sounds coming from the distance which only made Shirong more and more anxious. This had started this morning and was slowly increasing in intensity.

He didn't know what exactly had happened but knew that it is probably bad.

'From the source of the sound, it is coming at least two hundred kilometers away. That should mean that there are a lot of beasts making it together or it would not reach this far…' Shirong thought to himself.

They continued onward and had now officially entered the fifth ring. Both Shirong and Lin Wu could feel the abrupt increase in the spirit qi of the forest. This was the biggest difference they sensed till now as in the previous rings the increase was eventual instead of sudden like this.

"This is rather unique… wonder how it works. Oh wait, system check to see if you can find anything interesting." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

——

TASK ADDED: Analyzing Spirit qi in the environment.

——

They continued onward and fought a few more core condensation realm beasts until the night time arrived. Shirong was extra cautious this time and searched for a safe cave on his own before settling there for the night.

He set up some extra defensive formation arrays as well and made sure they were working multiple times through the night. Lin Wu wanted to go out to roam and eat the corpses that were left behind, but due to Shirong's behaviors he could not.

Still, Lin Wu could not complain about it as it was something that even he would have done after an encounter like that.

~Awooo~

~Roar~

~HOWWWLL~

~KEEEE~

~REEEEE~

A cacophony of noises were heard in the night as they made it harder for Shirong to relax. He could hear that they were coming from the further depths of the forest. But now that Shirong was in the fifth ring, he didn't really have a desire to entire the next ring as that would simply mean suicide.

Shirong was going to make this cave his shelter for the time being. At least until he reached the pseudo nascent soul realm and would have gathered enough spirit qi.

'So this is what they meant by the beasts fighting for the freed territory…' Lin Wu thought.

He then activated the communication link with the mole beast to ask some things.

"How are the conflicts with the beasts going?" Lin Wu questioned.

"They are bad… I'm barely escaping them and need to stay in the ground for most of the time. And I can't get close to the territory of the Olive Viper King anymore as he has slaughtered an army of beasts on his own. He's looking to expand his territory now, which had made a lot of beasts nervous and scared." The mole beast said.

Lin Wu looked up the mole beast's location and saw that he was even further south than them.

"Hmm… this should be near the border area of the fifth ring… looks like this is gonna be tough for us now." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he saw the beasts roaming and fighting in that area.

He then contacted the beetle beast and got a similar answer from her.

"Master, only the subordinates that are fighting for territory are going out. The rest of us have been told to stay put for now." The beetle beast said.

"I see…" Lin Wu replied before closing the link.

He checked up on her location and found her to be near the border of the sixth ring as well. Except that she was in the South eastern direction, a bit opposite to Lin Wu current one.

A bit more time passed and Lin Wu had been practicing refining his sprite sense when he suddenly received a warning.

~WARNING~

——

MULTIPLE BEASTS DETECTED: Total beasts 25- (2 Early stage Core condensation realm beasts, 19 Mid stage Core Condensation realm beats, 3 Late Stage Core Condensation realm beasts and 1 Peak stage Core condensation realm beast identified.

SUGGESTION: The host is advised to- 1. Retreat

2. Upgrade cultivation base and fight

——

Seeing the system's warning alerted Lin Wu pretty quickly, and he immediately switched to the map window.

"GODDAMN! That's a lot of beasts… strong beasts…" Lin Wu said, feeling shocked.

While their numbers seemed less compared to some herds and groups of beasts, Shirong had fought. This was the very first time that he was actually fighting so many core condensation realm beasts all at once.

"Oh boy, this is gonna be a long night…"

Report chapter

Shirong looked towards the sounds that were coming from the eastern direction. He extended his spirit sense and detected the beasts. At first he was calm as the Oliy beasts he had detected were those in the early stage core condensation realm and mid stage core condensation realm.

But a couple of seconds later his expression changed as he also sensed the late stage core condensation realm beasts.

"Looks like I'm in for a good fight…" Shirong muttered to himself and got ready.

Soon he also detected the peak stage core condensation realm beasts that were behind them. His expression turned serious for a moment before a smile appeared.

"HAHAHA! THIS IS IT! THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE! A FIGHT WORTHY OF A BREAKTHROUGH!" Shirong laughed out loud like a mad person.

"Annnnnd he's gone loco…" Lin Wu muttered to himself seeing Shirong's change.

~Sigh~

"Seems like I'm gonna have to take some extra efforts too…" Lin Wu said before planning a strategy in his mind.

He instructed the system to do a few things and to analyze the area. He needed to be fully aware of what was where so that he could take advantage of it all. Though one thing was for sure, if they were able to kill all of the beasts and absorb their spirit qi and vital energy; both Lin Wu and Shirong would have enough to break through to the nascent soul realm.

The only problem now was to survive. If these beasts had come in intervals, Shirong would have had no problem. But with these many beasts together it was going to be quite difficult, especially because of the type of beasts that were attacking them.

"System show me the data on the beasts!" Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

SCAN COMPLETE: Targets identified

TARGET NAME: Lamp Light Liger

CULTIVATION BASE: Early to peak stage of core condensation realm.

INFO: The Lamp light Liger beasts are the descendants of the Twin Light Liger. They have two eyes that glow with a flicking yellow light similar to a lamp. The Lamp Light Ligers that can advance their bloodline to the Twin Light Liger can reach the Nascent soul realm and beyond.

The Lamp Light Ligers have the ability to temperately blind their victims using a flash of light from their eyes. Their physical strength is also great along with their vital energy. They prefer attacking in a group Whig can be anywhere from five to fifty beasts in size and is often led by a Peak Stage Core condensation realm Lamp Light Liger.

——

"So these are the subordinates of the strongest ruler of the millennium forest, the Twin Light Liger. Seems like this is going to be even more difficult…" Lin Wu said before the plan appeared in his mind.

Because the Lamp Light Ligers were beasts that were used to attacking in groups their team work was much better than other beasts. Shirong would have had an easier time if these beasts were unorganized, but with their coordination like this, he would have to stake his life to survive.

Shirong looked at the Lamp Light Ligers with a malevolent grin on his face as he withdrew a few pills from the spatial storage bracelet and stuffed them in his mouth. These were all supportive pills that included a few Earthen Qi pills that could form an armor made out of Earth attribute qi on his body, and Qi furnace Pill which could increase the potency of his attacks.

There were also some healing pills that would continually heal him as the battle went on. They would slowly release their medicinal properties, enhancing his regeneration rate.

With everything ready, Shirong gripped the green crystal spear tightly as he poured spirit qi into it and readied his own qi skills.

"GRRRR!"

"ROAR!"

The Lamp Light Ligers abroad their fangs and showed their hostility to Shirong. While he could only perceive them as animistic noises, Lin Wu on the other hand was able to understand exactly what they were speaking due to the translation that the System had set up.

"Look it is a human!" one of the Lamp Light Liger s's spoke.

"Oh yes… its been a long time since I tasted a human." Another one said.

"Oh brothers, you are in for a treat, humans are quite delicious. Especially the ones that are cultivators, they refine their bones and marrows, which only makes them that much tempting." An older Lamp Light Liger spoke.

"I remember my first human, it was a female one. She had such soft skin, and barely any fat."

"Bah! What do you know about quality humans, the best ones are the fatties. Their fat is rich with spirit qi and vital energy."

"No, no, the best part is the brains I say. If you ate some, maybe you'll get smart enough to learn to appreciate its taste." A bigger Lamp Light Liger beast joked.

Lin Wu: "…"

"Enough! Focus on the task that the king ordered us to do! Kill the human quickly, we have to capture more territories." The Lamp Light Liger beast that seemed to be the leader spoke.

Shirong scanned all of the beasts with his spirit sense and got an idea of their cultivation bases.

"HAAHAH! TAKE THIS!" Shirong shouted before jumping up high, the spear flickering with a green light.

"Immortal Sky Shaker Art: Cloud Splitting Gale!"

Wind attribute spirit qi wrapped around the Green Crystal spear as it started to extend. Green light flickered on the length of the spear along with two crimson lights that looked like malevolent eyes staring into one's soul.

~KACHA~

The sound of a sonic boom was heard as the spear broke the sound barrier and whipped towards the two Lamp Light Ligers that were at the front. A deep green wave of energy spread along with the spear and struck the Lamp Light Ligers.

~Splatter~

Before the Lamp Light Ligers could even reach the two that were in the front, were split in half. Their front ends separating from their back.

Report chapter

The rest of the Lamp Light Ligers were too slow to react and couldn't do anything, but see their brothers die.

"NOO!"

~ROAR~

A beastly roar was let out by the Lamp Light Ligers but Lin Wu understood its true meaning and in a way, Shirong did too.

But he did not let them recover and immediately attacked again. The green crystal spear retracted back but at a diagonal angle, hitting the other Lamp Light Ligers that were to the right.

~Shua~

~thud~

One of the Lamp Light Ligers that was hit by this attack had its head chopped in half while the other two that were hit with it, injured their limbs.

"GET HIM! WE SHALL AVENGE OUR BROTHERS AND PAINT THIS LAND WITH HIS BLOOD!" The leading Lamp Light Liger uttered with hate.

Finally, the Lamp Light Ligers got the chance to attack Shirring and they pounced at him with their claws straightened. Two of the Lamp Light Ligers came from the left while four came from the right, pincering him in the middle.

"Humph foolish!" Shirong spat out before waving both his hands.

Wind formed around them and spread out like a wave, knocking four of the Lamp Light Ligers back. But the other two were Late stage core condensation realm beasts and were able to bear through the attack.

~Slash~

~Tear~

Shirong's sleeve was torn as one of the Lamp Light Ligers left claw marks on his flesh, leaving it bleeding.

Shirong gave no reaction to it and shrugged off the pain as if it was nothing, and punched out with his left hand towards the other Lamp Light Ligers.

~yelp~

A cry was let out by the second Lamp Light Liger, as it was hit in its belly and knocked back. Shirong had amplified his strength with qi amplification skill, which was further reinforced for Lin Wu's own qi amplification skill.

This way the effect of the skill was more than doubled, and Shirong's punch was strong enough to split boulders.

Shirong then spun around in one swift movement, willing the spear to elongate its blade.

"Immortal Crystal Armament: Long sword form!"

This was another form that Shirong had thought of and had used a few times during his journey here. In this form, the spear changed to a single edged long sword. Its blade was about three meters long, while its handle was thirty centimeters long.

It looked like a large horse splitting sword that was used in cavalry battles.

Another thing that Shirong had done was to create his own style of fighting with the green crystal spear. He realized over time, that calling the immortal weapon a spear seemed to be a bit redundant seeing how it could take multiple different forms.

So he instead gave it a new name and called it the 'Immortal Crystal Armament'. He had practiced a few different forms while fighting the beasts during his journey and was improving his new style. He knew that it would take him years to become perfect in it and then perhaps it would turn into a true Immortal Weapon Manual.

There were a lot of weapons manuals in this world. Most of them were specific to a singular weapon, while some could teach multiple weapons. There were even some manuals which had styles that needed a thousand different types of weapons to master.

Some weapons manuals required unique constitutions or cultivation techniques to practice, while others were all purpose and the only requirement for them was for the cultivator to work hard. Shirong as the heir of the Ji clan had learned a lot of weapon manuals since his childhood.

He had learned to use swords, Spears, Axes, Shields, lances, javelins, sabers, bows, whips, maces, and even some unconventional weapons such as ribbons and fans. He had been trained by multiple weapon masters, preparing him for any situation so that he could fight with whatever he had.

Some people had the ideology that one should only focus on one weapon and make it their Dao weapon. By doing this, their skill with that weapon would increase by a lot and they would even be able to comprehend weapon intent.

While Shirong had learned many weapons, he had only comprehended sword intent, or rather the most basic level of it. But even this was an achievement, as not many could do it. He also seldom needed to use the sword intent, as just his qi skills would be enough to deal with most problems.

Now that the Immortal Crystal Armament was in the Long sword form, he could fully execute the sword intent.

Holding the long sword in his hand, Shirong's aura skyrocketed as a murderous vibe exuded from it.

"COME AND SACRIFICE YOURSELF TO MY BLADE!" He shouted, swinging the sword.

~Slash~

The sword intent completely revamped the power of his attack and more than doubled it. Lin Wu was also seeing this for the first time and had not expected the sword intent to be this powerful.

~Ding~

NEW PARAMETERS DETECTED: ANALYZING

PARAMETER IDENTIFIED: Assigned term- Sword intent

ANALYZING SWORD INTENT: Please wait patiently…

——

The System automatically kicked in and started doing its job. Another task was added to its list, and it was now doing four things at the same time, leaving only one slot available for Lin Wu to use if anything needed to be done.

~SHUA~

A sword light emanated from the long sword, condensed with a great amount of spirit qi.

~cut~

~cut~

~cut~

Three Lamp Light Ligers were dismembered and left crying on the ground, unable to move. Five more were injured as deep cuts appeared on their bodies. The might of the sword intent could be seen from just this strike alone, defeating eight late stage core condensation realm beasts in an instant.

"BROTHERS ATTACK WITH ME!" the leading Lamp Light Liger said.

Suddenly their spirit qi flared up and Shirong had a bad feeling. Lin Wu saw the warning from the system and knew what the Lamp Light Ligers were doing.

But before he could do anything, the Lamp Light Liger executed their innate skill.

"Blinding Lamp Flare!"

Shirong felt a stinging pain in his eyes as his vision turned to white. He became dazed by the innate ability of the Lamp Light Ligers.

"Dammit!" Shirong cursed out loud as he covered his eyes with his left arm.

~Roar~

The Lamp Light Ligers took this opportunity and finally attacked Shirong.

~slash~

~cut~

Shirong blindly swung the long sword and cut the Lamp Light Ligers that came near him but was unable to dodge all of them. He used his spirit sense at the very last moment and was able to avoid injury to his vitals. Still, a large claw wound was opened from the top of his shoulder all the way to his waist.

Along with this, there were smaller scratches that were on his arms and legs. With the combined attack of over ten Lamp Light Ligers, he barely protected his head and neck. The long sword's reach was the only thing that was keeping the Lamp Light Ligers from attacking again.

They had to retreat after attacking immediately or they would have been chopped in half from the sharp long sword. While Shirong could use his spirit sense to observe the area, due to the properties of the Innate skill of the Lamp Light Ligers, even his spirit sense felt unstable.

It took him all of his Will owe to control it and even then it was putting a big load on his mind. Shirong had not expected that the Blinding Lamp Flare skill of the Lamp Light Ligers would be this strong.

'No wonder their king was able to become the strongest beast of the millennium forest. With an innate skill like this, most cultivators and beast would be incapacitated and killed swiftly.' Shirong thought.

He had known about the Twin Lights Liger that lived at the sixth ring of the millennium forest and knew that it was the strongest spirit beast of the forest being the very peak of Nascent soul realm. Even his clan had records about the Twin light Liger and knew that the beast had been living here for the past five hundred years.

Lin Wu right now was anxious and was trying to figure out the flaws of the plan. He knew there were many in the one that he had made, but it was the best he could do right now. With Shirong's vision gone for the time being, there was a great chance that he would be killed by these Lamp Light Ligers.

"This is it! The moment of decision, I can't hesitate anymore!" Lin Wu said with determination.

He scanned the area and ensured that he had taken note of everything before starting his plan.

"System, upgrade my cultivation base to the next stage!" Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

UPGRADING HOST'S CULTIVATION BASE: Please wait patiently.

——

Shirong suddenly felt the long sword heating up in his hand and let go of it involuntarily. He was able to observe it with his spirit sense for a moment before he felt like his spirit sense would get destroyed if he kept on observing the Immortal Crystal armament.

'Is another one of its seals being released?' Shirong wondered.

He didn't know if he had fulfilled any condition that was required to release the next seal, but now it was happening in front of him. Though he did not know if this would be good or not as the last time it had knocked him out and also the Deer wood city's people.

Shirong definitely did not want to lose consciousness in the middle of the Fifth ring of Millennium Forest like this, as he knew it would be a death sentence. Even if these beasts were scared off by the Immortal Crystal armament, more would take their place.

The Lamp Light Ligers on the other hand were now feeling fear all of a sudden.

~Grrr~

"What is happening?" one of the Lamp Light Ligers questioned.

"That weapon! It is doing something!" The bigger Lamp Light Liger said.

All of the Lamp Light Ligers looked towards the long sword that was pierced into the ground. Waves of spirit qi started rolling off the long sword as the area started to heat up.

"Let's see how you like this!" Lin Wu said as he absorbed all the spirit qi that was around him.

~Shua~

The radiation emitting from his body started spreading into the surroundings as the Lamp Light Ligers began to feel hot. But Shirong was unaffected as Lin Mu was avoiding him intentionally. Besides, he couldn't see him for the time being anyway, and even his spirit sense was restricted greatly.

~Whirr~

Now Lin Wu's body started glowing with a bright green light that spread in the surroundings. The Lamp Light Ligers though were immune to the Bright light and were able to keep on looking despite it. Their innate skill Blinding Lamp Flare gave them immunity to light based skills that could affect their eyes.

~Growl~

"Why is it so hot all of a sudden?" The Lamp Light Ligers spoke in distress,

Their fur was rather thick, and the heat had only made it that much worse for them. The heat they were feeling was also quite different, it didn't seem like their body was heating from the outside, but rather from the inside.

Their fur was acting like an insulator and keeping the heat coming from their bodies from escaping.

"AARGH! I can't take this anymore!" One of the Lamp Light Ligers cried and retreated.

But before it could take more than three steps, it froze. Not only that Lamp Light Liger, but all of the others did too.

"This…"

"What overwhelming bloodline!" The leader Lamp Light Liger realized.

~Ding~

UPGRADE COMPETED: The host's cultivation base has been upgraded from the Mid stage of the Core Condensation Realm to the Late Stage of the Core Condensation Realm.

"Now it will be fun! AHAHA!" Lin Wu laughed in excitement.

Report chapter

Lin Wu was still in the form of the Long sword and stuck in the ground. But now that he had completed the breakthrough to the next stage, he felt as if his power had been multiplied by a lot.

Shirong who was standing beside it also felt the change through both his connection with the Immortal Crystal armament and the spirit qi that was emanating from his side. He extended his hand and grasped the handle of the Long Sword.

As soon as he did that though, he felt a suggestion appearing in his mind. It had come from the connection he had with the spear, and he knew that it was hinting him to do something.

"HAHAHA! Why should I hesitate now? This is how a battle should be!" Shirong hosted out loud.

Shirong willed it, and the Immortal Crystal armament started changing its form. From the shape of a long sword, it elongated into a pole. Then at the ends of the pole appeared two blades. Each having a single edge and pointing towards the opposite directions.

The long sword had now turned into a dual bladed glaive. There were two red lights glowing at the base of each blade and shone like malevolent eyes in the dark.

"Immortal Crystal Armament: Glaive Form!"

Lin Wu had especially designed this form with the system's help. He knew that the radiation was incompatible with the spirit qi of the others and thus if he wanted to use it in cooperation with Shirong he would ha vie to figure out a different way.

This glaive form was his solution. One blade of the Glaive would release radiation from Lin Wu, while the other end would channel the qi skills of Shirong.

Shirong couldn't see the weapon in his hands but knew that it held a great power within it.

"So what if I can't see? I'll just eradicate the entire area!" Shirong shouted as he jumped up in the sky.

~HONG~LONG~

A humming sound was heard as Shirong started spinning the dual bladed glaive at great speed.

"QUICK ATTACK HIM!" The lamp light Luger's leader shouted and lunged ahead, but the others were unable to do the same.

The bloodline suppression in combination with the previous radiation wave was still affecting them and made it quite difficult for them to move. They tried to control the spirit qi in their body to flow, but it did not, becoming restricted.

Shirong was still spinning the dual headed blade in the sky. The wind generated from its spinning movement created enough thrust to keep him flying. One of the blades of the glaive glowed with a yellow light and turned hot, while the other blade of the glaive was covered in a green light.

The yellow blade was emanating radiation while the green one was emanating wind attribute spirit qi from Shirong.

"TAKE THIS!" Shirong yelled as a storm formed around him.

The spinning wind was laced with potent radiation and had become quite hot.

"Immortal Sky Shaker Art: Sundering Tempest!"

~WHOOSH~

The heat storm descended on to the ground with Shirong's will, decimating everything. The grass, trees, leaves were shredded by the sharp winds while the potent radiation contained within it dried them out thoroughly such that they were desiccated. They became so fragile after being dried that they were reduced to dust.

The same thing happened with the Lamp Light Ligers. Their fur was burned off while their skin singed. Then the Sharp winds cut it apart, spilling their blood, letting more radiation into their bodies, weakening them even more.

"WHAT IS THIS HUMAN!" The leader of the Lamp Light Ligers said in a terrified tone.

But only Lin Wu could hear his true meaning, Shirong couldn't even hear their pain filled cries hidden behind the sound of the stormy winds.

The tempest continued and soon their flesh was cut, the radiation penetrating deeper, before finally ending their lives.

The Storm lasted for about thirty seconds before it faded away, leaving behind a scene of what could only be described as a calamity. There were no grass, nor trees here. Even the ground had been unearthed and a circular depression had been created.

In this circular depression laid the destroyed corpses of all the Lamp Light Ligers. Not a single one of them had been able to survive, and none of them had complete corpses.

~thud~

Shirong fell to the ground on his back and coughed out a mouthful of blood. Using the qi skill Sundering tempest had taken out a lot more from him than he had expected. This was not his first time using this qi skill, but it was his first time using it with the Immortal Crystal armament.

The effects that he had seen were completely incomparable. Using it with a normal spear, halberd or glaive had barely ten percent the power of what the Immortal Crystal Armament had shown. Shirong was left in absolute awe with this amplification.

'And what was that other power contained within it? That… heat? It even affected spirit qi.' Shirong wondered as he took labored breaths.

~huu~

~huu~

~huu~

But Shirong wasn't the only person that was incredibly tired. Lin Wu had also used up a large amount of his own spirit qi to use that ability. The combination of two skills, one innate and one qi skill, was much more complex than one would think.

Especially when two incompatible things like radiation and spirit qi were being combined. The system had been able to create an unstable equilibrium between them, and thus this new attack was formed. The skill had a short period of action, but its power was overwhelming.

While lying on the ground there, Shirong took out a few pills and stuffed them into his mouth, beginning to heal his injuries. Thankfully, Lin Wu was completely uninjured this time and did not need to spend any extra spirit qi to regenerate.

"Seems like I need to research this more. Perhaps there are more combinations that I can use."

Report chapter

Lin Wu's mind was now filled with a myriad of ideas. With the new form, and the abilities that could be used with it, he realized that for specific skills, further fine tuning may be necessary.

"Hmm… perhaps I should assign a specific task to the system to optimize these forms and the qi circuits that are used for them. But still, I'll need to gather more data by fighting and observing if the system is to enhance it." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Shirong was lying on the ground, looking up at the full moon in the sky. The trees in the area had been utterly destroyed, and the clouds had been blown away by his few attacks. Because of this, the moon had been fully revealed.

After a minute, he managed to make himself sit up. He then changed his posture to one of meditation and focused on recovering his injuries. He didn't have to recover all of them, just enough so that he could get away from this place without much problem.

Shirong also knew that he had to hurry or the blood of the dead beasts would attract the other beasts after a while. Though it seemed that the power of the attack had scared them for now, but soon they would not be able to resist the enticing scent of the blood.

After about five minutes he gained the control of his body and stood up, picking the Immortal crystal armament that was still in the glaive form.

"Now to gather them all…" Shirong muttered to himself.

He then went around every corpse or their remains one by one, and stabbed the glaive in them. It took him over three minutes to do it for all of them but eventually, he was done. And along with this not only was his spirit qi stores replenished, but they had now reached very close to the peak.

"Just a few more beasts and I should be ready…" Shirong said as he assessed his dantian.

Because he had used up more spirit qi than normal in using the Immortal Sky Shaker Art: Sundering tempest, his spirit qi wasn't able to completely reach the peak. If he had not used that skill and then absorbed the beasts using the Immortal Crystal Armament, he was sure that he would have reached the Pseudo nascent soul realm.

'Seems like I'll have to delay using that 'technique' till I can get a lot more spirit qi. Still… this battle was great.' Shirong thought as a smile appeared on his face.

He basked in the feeling of absorbing all the spirit qi that he got from the immortal crystal armament and enjoyed it. He wished that he could continue to feel this for a longer time, but that was not possible… at least not for now.

"Better leave this place for now…" Shirong said to himself and flew away on his spirit sword.

A few minutes later, the place of the battle was filled with more beasts. They had sensed the massive spirit qi fluctuation and also the blood that had spilled.

~Grrr~

The first to appear were none other than more Lamp Light Ligers.

"This cannot be! It's our brothers!" One of the Lamp Light Ligers said with shock.

A Lamp Light Liger walked forward and smelled the ground, unable to find a scent.

"There is no scent either… whoever or rather whatever it was left no trace."

"That's not all, can't you feel it?" A bigger Lamp Light Liger that was standing at the back suddenly spoke.

All of the Lamp Light Ligers then closed their eyes and focused on the area.

"THIS! WHY IS OUR SPIRIT GETTING SUPPRESSED?" The Lamp Light Ligers said with utter shock.

"Quick! Leave the area. This does not seem to be the work of any weak being, we need to report to the king." The Lamp Light Liger who seemed to be the leader of this group ordered.

The others growled in agreement, and all of them swiftly left the area.

Back at the cave, Shirong was sitting in a cross legged manner and cultivating. He had to assimilate the large amount of spirit qi that he had just obtained from the Immortal Crystal armament. The weapon itself though was kept to the side and had transformed back into the normal spear form.

Shirong also wondered if the spear could be considered its default form or not. But in the end, he let this thought slide as he reckoned it would be better to just wait and watch rather than to blindly speculate and reach no conclusion.

Lin Wu was currently looking through the notification log, as he had gotten a lot of them. He had ignored them for the duration of the fight, but now he finally got the chance to see it.

"System, show me the notification log." Lin Wu ordered.

Looking at the log, Lin Wu was pleased quite a bit. Not only had his innate skill's proficiency been upgraded, but he had also obtained quite a lot of vital energy along with spirit qi.

Another thing he was intrigued about was the new form of the dual bladed glaive that he had created. His previous forms didn't have time limits, and only this one seemed to have one. Usually, the spear form was the most conformable one to him and others while uncomfortable had not set time limit.

He would only switch because he was getting uncomfortable, but not because of limit.

'Hmm... It is probably due to the conflicting nature of the spirit qi and radiation that it is like this and has a time limit of ten minutes. From this, I can guess that in the future when I make some new forms, they may have a time limit too if they are using incompatible techniques or skills.' Lin Wu thought.

"Let's take a look at the host data, system show it to me." Lin Wu ordered.

There were now a few new changes that had happened due to his increase in cultivation base, and he wanted to see exactly what they were.

Lin Wu could see that a new section for the weapon forms had been added to the list. It seemed like it only mentioned the forms that had a specific time limit attached to them and optimized for a qi skill.

Another thing was that by absorbing the spirit qi and vital energy of the 25 core condensation realm Lamp Light Ligers, Lin Wu had also gotten the raw bloodline data for them. But the most interesting thing was that there was an extra tag added to it as well.

"System, why is there an extra tag with the Lamp Light Liger bloodline data?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The Bloodline data obtained from the 25 Lamp Light Ligers is enough for a complete bloodline to be created. Because of this, the system was able to compile the progressive form and can upgrade the bloodline to its new form.

The Lamp Light Liger bloodline can be upgraded to the Twin Light Liger Bloodline.

——

Seeing the system's answer shocked Lin Wu as he said, "Aw, Heck yeah!

Report chapter

Lin Wu calmed down after a bit of thinking though as he realized that there was no way it could be this simple.

"System, what are the conditions for the upgrade to the Twin Light Liger Bloodline from the Lamp light Liger?" Lin Wu questioned with apprehension.

~Ding~

——

UPGRADE REQUIREMENTS: Lamp Light Liger- Twin Light Liger Bloodline

1. 35000 Units Spirit qi(liquid Drops)

2. 5000 Units Vital Essence

3. Two additional Computational A.I. activated.

——

"Of course it requires all this… but what the hell is with the numbers, isn't that at a lot? And what is Vital Essence?" Lin Wu said, feeling a bit frustrated.

~ding~

——

ANSWER: The requirements for the Twin Light Liger bloodline are less than that of the host's current bloodline of Crimson eyed emerald worn due to its overall potential being lower.

Vital essence is the refined version of Vital energy. Its conversion ratio is 1:10, similar to that of spirit qi.

Host already has the third condition fulfilled due to reaching the core condensation realm.

——

Lin Wu wasn't really that much surprised upon seeing that the requirements for the Crimson eyed emerald worm bloodline were low. If he compared his skills, he understood that they were rather unique and Even his two forms were rather different. Though he hadn't used his organic form at all and mostly stayed in his inorganic form.

Lin Wu found his organic form to be rather disadvantageous and hadn't really found the best time to use it yet. Still, Lin Wu wondered if he created the Twin Light Liger Bloodline and assimilated it, what kind of effect would he have and how would his body react.

"System, how would the effect of the Twin light Liger Bloodline affect me?" Lin Wu questioned.

He wanted to be cautious and ensure that it was safe and wouldn't cause him trouble.

~ding~

——

ANSWER: The exact changes would only become apparent after the bloodline is refined, but the host can expect new innate skills being added and some physiological changes. Though the system can assure the host that the compatibility can be increased further if a true sample is obtained.

Note: The current compatibility is at 70%.

——

"Hmm… as long as the compatibility is good, it should be fine. Though the 70% can be a gamble too, and I don't expect my luck to be good all the time. Heck, I am already lucky to the extreme to be able to survive all this while." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"What kind of true sample is needed? Like blood or hair or something like that?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: Fresh blood that is infused with spirit qi and vital energy would be optimal for it. The spirit qi and vital energy signatures would increase the compatibility by finding similar frequencies, while the DNA from the blood would help with the assimilation and mutation.

——

Lin Wu felt a bit lost here, as he wasn't really good at this aspect. While he was good at biology, gene stuffy wasn't really his strong suit. Still, considering that the system had been accurate till now, he reckoned he could trust it with this.

"Alright, then. Seems like we got a few new goals to do. The requirements for spirit qi and Vital essence can be completed after I have enough to reach the Nascent Soul realm saved up. As for the sample, Hmm… perhaps my new servants can help in this part." Lin Wu pondered.

He opened the servant window and used the link to contact the two beasts. He first contacted the beetle beast to see if he knew of the whereabouts of the Twin Light Liger King. Since the Beetle beast was under the authority of another ruler, she was Bound to know more than the mole beast that was still unaffiliated.

"Master, you need something?" The beetle beast said in its mind.

"Yes, I wanted to ask if you know about the Twin Light Luger's Location?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Of course I do. Actually, any beast in the fifth ring will be able to tell you this as it is the seat of power of the forest. The Twin Light Liger king lives in the Dark Bloom Caverns. It is the area that has the highest density of spirit qi in the entire forest. Apparently, the main source of spirit qi comes from somewhere below that cave." The beetle beast answered.

This was rather interesting to Lin Wu, as he had learned that there were spirit qi springs that existed naturally underground. When these springs got accumulated they could even turn into a spirit stone mine. This is how cultivation sects chose their sect grounds.

One of the basic requirements to establish a sect was to have a spirit qi spring in the sect ground. Of course, a sect having just a spirit qi spring wouldn't be that strong. But a sect that had a spirit stone mine would be much more stronger.

'If there is a spirit qi spring that can provide enough spirit qi to the entire millennium forest, then there should definitely be a massive spirit stone mine there.' Lin Wu thought.

"If there is the spirit qi source below it and the Twin Light Liger rules over the area, why doesn't he go to the source himself?" Lin Wu asked curiously.

"Umm… we don't know that. But all beasts in the Millennium forest know that the depths of the Dark Bloom caverns are forbidden. It has dangers that would easily kill even the Twin Light Liger, which is why he has not tried to do that.

Though it isn't like no one has tried that before, in fact, the entry to the caverns is open to the rulers and even their subordinates, but no one that went there has ever returned. The Twin Light Liger king only lives in one of the many caves of the Dark Bloom caverns that's at the surface, the rest of them are mostly empty." The beetle beast explained.

"Oh? Is that so…" Lin Wu muttered as some new ideas appeared in his mind.

Report chapter

Lin Wu knew that while the other beasts were scared of the depths of the Dark Bloom caverns, he could still go there. He had the support of the system who could scan out the entire Dark Bloom Caverns and even make a map for it so that he could navigate.

Plus the system would even be able to spot dangers and other beasts in there which would help him avoid them. And just as Lin Wu thought of this, he heard the notification.

~Ding~

——

ISSUING QUEST: Explore and investigate the Dark Bloom cavern.

DURATION: unspecified

REWARDS: Spirit qi, unknown.

——

"Great, that seals the deal then. The only obstacle that exists now is Shirong himself. I won't be able to get away from him long enough without it becoming an obstacle. Though I still need to be prepared for it. Even if the system can scan out for danger, there are definitely things in there that I cannot deal with at my current strength.

If even an Adult stage Nascent soul realm beast that is over six hundred years old, fears it, then there is definitely something terrifying in there. I best be at the Infant stage Nascent soul realm at the very least, or I'll be courting death." Lin Wu said to himself.

Lin Wu also realized that this was another one of the disadvantages that came with leeching off Shirong. Even if he could obtain a lot of spirit qi, he couldn't be far from Shirong for long and would have to sneak back as soon as it was possible.

'Hmm… having an additional bloodline should help increase my strength, so getting the Sample from the Twin Light Liger would be another thing to do before I go to the Dark Bloom Caverns.' Lin Wu thought.

He then looked at the second beast in his list and activated the communication link with the mole beast.

"Oh, master! I was just about to contact you." The mole beast said with a bit of anxiety in his voice.

"Did you find out something?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Yes, yes, I did. The Twin Light Liger king has sent out his subordinates to capture more territories and I think of the groups is coming towards your way." The Mole beast informed.

"Oh them? Yeah, they're dead." Lin Wu replied in an almost nonchalant manner.

"WHAT! How… don't tell me… you killed them?" The Mole beast said.

"Yup, I did. They were much easier to deal with than I had originally thought." Lin Wu replied.

"You need to leave that area immediately, master! They are expert trackers and hunters and can easily find you through the blood traces if they were left behind." The mole beast suggested.

"I'll be fine with it. As long as more of them don't come together and stay at the number they attacked in, I'll be able to kill them myself. More nutrition for me, Hehe." Lin Wu replied.

The mole beast shuddered a bit as he had not thought of his new master to be so strong. He knew that all of the Lamp Light Ligers in that group were core condensation realm beasts, that he would not even come close to.

'Master's strength is even more profound than I thought. It's good that chose to submit or my corpse would have definitely been pecked raw by the birds… that is if master himself hadn't eaten me till then.' The mole beast thought.

"Did you have more orders, master?" The mole beast questioned.

"Actually yes, I do. I want you to inform me when the Twin Light Liger gets into his next fight and gets injured. And if possible, I want you to obtain some of his freshly shed blood. If you cannot take it yourself and it hasn't claimed or deteriorated by then, you are to inform me and I'll head there." Lin Wu answered in a calm tone.

"Umm… this is even more difficult… but I'll still try my best." The mole beast replied.

"Alright, contact me if a problem arrives." Lin Wu said before stopping the link, 'it's not like I won't know before you die.' Lin Wu internally said.

With all that done over the night, the time passed by. When it was finally morning, the sound of beasts reduced by a bit. Still, there were sounds of roars and growls heard from some of the areas, which meant that it hadn't completely died down.

Shirong opened his eyes and looked at the Immortal Crystal Armament before taking a breath of relief. Even if he knew and was assured that the Immortal weapon would stay there, he couldn't help but think that the weapon was going to run away on its own someday.

He then spread his spirit sense and checked his surroundings.

"Hmm… a lot of the areas show signs of conflict. Looks like a beast frenzy, but with the amount of them that's killing other beasts, I doubt it will turn into a beast wave." Shirong muttered to himself.

He held the Immortal Crystal Armament in his hand and stood up. Thankfully, his aim was to just hunt more condensation realm beasts and the conflict among the beasts was only going to help him more. He took out the spirit sword and jumped onto it, flying towards the depths of the fifth ring.

Shirong knew that he was quite close to reaching his peak at this realm and only needed a bit more of a push to directly enter the pseudo Nascent soul realm. He could even break through to the Nascent Soul realm if needed, but would prefer to do it at a Tribulation platform.

Besides, he had also made a promise with the clan head of Lu clan along with nearly all of the clans of the Deer Wood city.

"Let's make this a bit quick for him, shall we." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"System, Scan the area for all spirit beasts and evaluate the best route of attack." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~
