Seeing that these followers of the Skull god were thinking of him as a treasure as well, Lin Wu couldn't help but laugh.
"Wonder if I can fool them as well if they manage to defeat me and Shirong." Lin Wu chuckled.
No one knew what would happen if this came true, but one thing was sure that whoever got Lin Wu would suffer for days to come. Or at least till they died.
Seeing the Nascent Soul realm cultivators that were flying towards them, Lin Wu smiled.
"You're really walking towards me, huh?" Lin Wu said while thinking of a quick plan.
'The last time they didn't realize I had gone underground was because of the attack of that Axe. The hole created by me was collapsed by the Axe and thus they thought it was teleportation that got me here.
Let's see if I can make use of that…' Lin Wu thought to himself while transmitting some controlling methods to Shirong.
While Shirong had grasped most of them on his own, they were still too crude and Lin Wu could do a lot more things. Lin Wu could technically control Shirong directly, but with the form that he was currently in, both of their meridian systems were linked.
Controlling the man physically was easy, but if Lin Wu messed up with spirit Qi, even he would suffer. Thus, it was better if both he and Shirong were on the same frequency. After all, this was synchronization, not control.
The armor morphed again under the will of Shirong and the assistance of Lin Wu to become like a top. Shirong's legs joined up while the shoulders extended with sharp blades. Then in the next moment, he started to spin and shot towards the Nascent Soul realm followers that were coming toward him.
"Time to… LET IT RIP!" Lin Wu said as they spun at a blinding speed.
~zing~zing~zing~
The blades tore through the air at an extreme speed, creating slashes. The armor then started to glow in a green light while at the top a red light could be seen which were the eyes of Lin Wu.
Now it looked like a green top was spinning at a rapid speed. But the followers of the Skull God didn't know that this was just the start. Wind attribute sprint Qi and lightning attribute spirit Qi joined the gray, letting out loud humming sounds along with crackles.
The two joined up to become a large vortex that shot towards the skies. Lightning swam like dragons through the wind, giving one a terrifying view.
~weeng~weeng~weeng~
The incoming Nascent Soul realm cultivators were now too close to stop and were caught within the cyclone. They used their abilities to resist the suction of the cyclone, but it was only getting stronger by the second.
"Hold on!" One of the followers spoke out loud.
"Attack the center together! It's at the bottom!" Another one pointed out.
Chains made of smoke bound the Followers to the ground, preventing them from being sucked into the cyclone. While they were able to resist for a few seconds, they were at a loss once the spinning cyclone started approaching them.
~Rip~
One of the Nascent soul realm followers was unable to hold on and his control over the smoke chain wavered.
"Aaaa!!" The man screamed as he was sucked into the cyclone.
In there, the wind acted like blades slicing into his skin while the lighting was like whips, ripping into his body.
~boom~
The combined effect of the wind and lightning was far more terrifying than they had ever thought as the follower ended up being exploded due to the incessant strikes on his body. And of course, while his nascent soul tried to escape, it was exterminated due to the lighting too.
"GET AWAY! EVERYONE GET AWAY!" The Nascent soul realm cultivators started shouting upon seeing the effect that had been shown by the cyclone.
It was especially terrifying to them since the one that had died just now was one of the Adult stage Nascent soul realm cultivators. To them, if the cyclone could kill an Adult Stage Nascent soul realm cultivator like that, then it was absolutely going to kill those that were weaker than that.
"AHAHAHA! You all just walked into a trap!" Lin Wu said as he changed his movement pattern.
At first, he was moving directly towards the Nascent Soul realm cultivators, but now he was circling around them. Soon his speed of revolving increased and the cyclone created another larger cyclone.
And in the eye of the cycle, the Nascent Soul realm cultivators were trapped. Their smoke chains were still managing to hold them in place, but the stray wind blades and lightning strikes were still enough to hurt them plenty.
They feared that if they didn't resolve this soon, they might end up dying.
~shua~
~DENG~
~swoosh~
They shot out various kinds of attacks towards the top like spinning armor, but it was useless. A spirit sword that was sent towards it was pushed away due to the winds and then sucked towards the cyclone, only to be shot back at an even greater speed.
~DENG~
"Heavens! That was close!" A follower said as he saw the spirit sword that was now stuck right between his legs, very close to his precious jewels.
"Ugh! So close." Lin Wu said, upon missing the counter.
Qi skills were also launched towards him, but they were dissipated or blocked by the cyclone before it could ever get close to the armor.
"We will need to use physical skills! Energy type Qi skills are forcefully dissipated before they can even reach the enemy!" One of the followers analyzed.
But his words were of little help as the cyclone now started to come closer.
"Hahahh! Welcome to the twister zone. We will ensure that you get the best amusement experience! A word of caution though: The authorities do not take responsibility for any harm that may come to the customers." Lin Wu said, repeating a certain voice-over announcement.
Report chapter
The Cyclone only got closer and closer as the followers of the skull god started to sustain even greater damage.
"Ahh! Nooo!!!" Another one of them was sucked into the cyclone and exploded into minced meat.
Seeing that this was only getting worse, the Nascent Soul realm follower decided to bite the bullet and ask for help.
"Oh, Great Prophet! Help us! We cannot hold on anymore!" They called out.
"Oh? So they finally decided to do this?" Shirong said upon hearing the words of the followers.
He could very well see the fear on their faces and their inability to hold on against the attack. This was of course an exceedingly strong attack, that even Shirong had to admit he had not seen before.
'Will father even be able to resist something like this if he was at the same cultivation base as me right now?' Shirong couldn't help but wonder.
There were plenty of Strong people in Shirong's clan and there were also people who could fight over their cultivation bases. There was no lack of Ji clan members who hadn't defeated those that were one or two cultivation stages above them.
There were even some extremely talented ones that had managed to defeat other cultivators that were an entire realm above them. One such example of this was none other than the current patriarch of the Ji clan, Shirong's Father.
He was said to be the top prodigy in the Ji clan in over three hundred years now and had been the patriarch for a hundred and fifty years. It was his talent and fighting capabilities that had won him the seat of the patriarch.
Shirong himself was only in his thirties and yet had heard plenty of stories of his father and how he defeated one foe after the other, overcoming tribulations as if they were a child's play.
He had long since wanted to reach the same level like that and he could finally consider that he had reached it.
"Father… Grandfather… Great Grandfather… Ancestor… I have done it." Shirong muttered to himself as he massacred five more Nascent Soul realm followers.
But just as he said this, he felt a wave of weakness pass through his body, that made him tremble.
"Huh? What?" Shirong got confused.
He quickly used his spirit sense to inspect his body and saw what had happened.
"Dammit! This is taking up too much spirit Qi." Shirong cursed.
In his body, Shirong could see that his Nascent Soul was now starting to release the spirit Qi that was within it. As for the one in his Dantian and meridians, it had already been used up. And because he was currently synchronized with Lin Wu and their meridians were linked, he did not detect the problem until it was late.
His body simply registered Lin Wu's own spirit Qi as his and thought that he still had a lot of it left.
The wind and lightning attribute spirit Qi cyclone definitely used up a massive amount of spirit Qi such that even a normal Adult Stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator might not be able to sustain it for long.
Whereas Lin Wu and Shirong had already continued it for over a minute now and had managed to kill nearly eight Nascent Soul realm experts, four of which were at the Adult Stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
If one considered it in the manner of investment and return, it was certainly worth it. But it did not do Shirong that good, since his trouble had not ended yet.
~Shua~
A wave of spirit Qi spread from the distance, pulling Shirong's attention for a moment.
"Huh? They took down three more barriers?" Shirong said, feeling astounded.
The Followers of the Skull god were now at the eleventh barrier and only three more were left before they would be able to reach the central area of the ruins. Shirong took a quick look around the newly exposed area but could not see anything that was of value right away.
"It must be hidden… there is a lot of debris here…" Shirong muttered to himself.
But while he was thinking this, Lin Wu was having different thoughts.
"System, you seeing this shit?" Lin Wu questioned. "How are they going through the barriers so fast even when we were unable to do so? And I thought 'we' had the specialty for that." Lin Wu said with frustration.
On one hand, Lin Wu was fine with this as the quicker they got to the center, the greater chance there was for them to awaken the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle. But there was also a chance that they might catch her off guard and manage to hurt her.
That was one thing Lin Wu did not want to happen, as she was going to be his trump card in all this.
"It would be best if she can awaken on her own and come see all this…" Lin Wu said to himself, wishing that it would happen.
Alas! Sometimes what we wish and what we get are vastly different.
~Huala~
~Huala~
Out of nowhere, a massive wave of dark energy came towards the cyclone and towards Lin Wu in turn. The energy was strange, almost sticky in nature. It touched the surface of the cyclone and managed to resist it!
"What? How?" Lin Wu couldn't help but be surprised.
Shirong was the same, and he tried to see where it was coming from. His spirit sense spread around but met a strange interference in the form of the dark energy.
"It can even affect spirit sense?" Shirong said in shock.
The dark energy then started to spread more and more until finally, it turned into two large hands. Each of the hands was black and looked to have a fluid surface. In addition to that, the hands also had seven fingers each instead of the usual five.
"That Dao Shell realm cultivator!" Lin Wu recognized.
His eyes traced the source and there he saw the boy floating in the distance, the energy coming from his hands and trying to strangle the cyclone.
Report chapter
The Dao shell realm cultivator that looked like a creepy child was the one who had created these giant hands. They were even linked to his own hands and were currently trying to stop the cyclone.
~shua~shua~shua~
The winds stirred within his hands as Lin Wu kept on spinning, not giving in to the resistance.
"You're gonna have to do a lot more if you want to stop me!" Lin Wu said as he started to let out more arcs of lighting from the cyclone.
They knew that lightning was more effective element here and thus they were focusing more on that. But even then, the problem was that it consumed far more spirit Qi than what wind attribute spirit Qi did.
This was mostly because Shirong's own Immortal Sky Shaker art was at the third stage, which was the Lightning attribute initiate. He had already gained a sufficient mastery over the wind attribute, but it was going to take him long to master the lightning.
Once he reached the fourth stage though, the consumption of both attributes would become the same for him. Right now, the only reason they were even able to fight back was because of the spirit Qi and vital energy Lin Wu had obtained from the Nascent Soul realm cultivators that they had killed in the process.
There were still several of them there and Lin Wu wanted to kill them, too. But now that the Dao Shell realm prophet had interfered, he could no longer attack the Nascent soul realm cultivators.
"Humph! You dare resist!" The child said as he saw Lin Wu trying to keep the Nascent soul realm followers trapped there.
The child waved his hands and pushed the cyclone to a different side.
~shua~
Lin Wu and Shirong were now forcefully knocked off the course and could not do much. Despite the constant attacks of the wind and lightning, there was nothing that could be done to the hands made out of dark energy.
By now Lin Wu had guessed the reason behind the man's resistance and even that of the other followers of the skull god.
"They are using the Dark attribute, aren't they? But it's not fully pure… it's like there is something mixed in it. Though them using one of the four heavenly attributes makes sense as to how they are able to suppress all others." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
Shirong also got some transmission in his mind about what it may be. But the way he got them was such that he thought he was the one who came to this conclusion.
"Dammit! Dark Attribute spirit Qi… Even if lightning is of the extreme yang, it can't do much against Darkness which is pure yang. Only a stronger intensity of the light element might be able to do anything against it.
Plus, it seems like this cultivator has already grasped some traces of Dao. No wonder his use of the Darkness Element is so different." Shirong stated upon seeing it all.
Lin Wu had already learned quite a lot about the twelve elements now and knew that there were many other elements as well that didn't fully match the twelve main elements. Such elements were called as the derivative elements and there was an almost endless amount of them in the world.
Even Ice was not considered to be a pure element and was designated as a derivative one. The hypothesis behind it was that while ice was technically water, the yin part of it had been increased and thus it became cold enough to become solid.
Derivative elements gave rise to different types of spirit qi's as well. They were different from the normal spirit Qi and elemental spirit Qi since they were born from the traces of Dao's themselves.
For example, the most common Sword Qi was also a type of spirit Qi, but it was born from the comprehension of sword Dao and thus contained traces of it. But that was not all that it had. Sword Qi even had origins in the metal element and was thus considered to be under it.
Thus, the combination of the metal element with the sword Dao resulted in the formation of the Sword Qi.
In the case of the Dao Shell realm cultivator here, Lin Wu was wondering if it really was just the darkness element or not. There was certain inconsistence in it which made him think that this might be a completely different element.
"System, can you search your data banks and see if this matches with any other derivative element?" Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~
——
TASK ASSIGNED: Data Search
SEARCHING DATA: Please wait a moment
SEARCH COMPLECTED: Matching terms found.
INFO: The similarity is 87.9% between the Shadow element mentioned in several records of the Taiji celestial and the technique that is being used by the Dao Shell realm articulator right now.
——
Seeing this, it instantly hit Lin Wu.
"Wait, a minute… can it really be?" Lin Wu felt a bit dumbfounded.
"No, no, it can't be. After all, I made all that up." Lin Wu said after thinking for a bit.
He couldn't help but look at the technique that the Child was using and the visions he had seen in the Taiji Celestial's tomb. He couldn't help but compare them with the cultivators who had been corrupted by the Shadow calamity.
This all happened much later after the Taiji Celestial had already been born. His past clones were also evolving and had managed to reach a point where they could corrupt cultivators without turning them into mindless beasts.
The cogs in Lin Wu's mind started to move and a timeline of possible invents started to form in his mind.
"The arrival of the guardian beasts… the shadow calamity's influence… suppression to take over the world… loss… return…" One by one, Lin Wu joined up the theories before a somewhat decent idea of what happened in his mind.
"What the fuck! Is he a prophet or am I one?"
Report chapter
With the realization that the story he had made up to tell Wang Xiong might really be true, Lin Wu didn't know what to do.
"Damn… don't tell me I have a secret ability to tell the future and search the past?" Lin Wu wondered to himself.
But before he could lose himself in his thoughts anymore, he was woken up forcefully.
~DENG~
One of the large, dark hands slapped them into the ground, fully embedding them into it. The cyclone of wind and lightning was forcefully stopped and the rest of the followers of the skull god were now saved.
"GAH!" Shirong grunted in pain.
While he was not injured directly due to the armor protecting him, the sudden impact of the hand still managed to rock his insides. His brain felt like it had been hammered and his stomach churned.
~Crack~
Lin Wu was not faring that well either. In fact, he was the one who was injured the most. After all, he was the one who had borne the entire damage of the hands. Not to mention this attack was from a Dao Shell realm cultivator.
"Fuck, what stage is he even at? I can't tell…" Lin Wu said as he got the system to heal his injuries using the vital essence.
The system had been continually converting the vital energy obtained from killing everyone into vital essence and by now Lin Wu had gathered a sufficiently large store of it.
~Ding~
——
VITAL ESSENCE CONSUMED: 46,000 units
VITAL ESSENCE STORAGE: 4,441,799 Units
——
In a few seconds, all the cracks that had appeared all over Lin Wu's body had been healed under the effort of the system. Thankfully, Lin Wu's meridians were not damaged otherwise, this would have been far more problematic.
Lin Wu was mostly durable against physical damage and did not really mind it, since he could regenerate it on his own. But the damage that sunk into his body and affected his meridians was not something that could be healed quickly.
Though this made Lin Wu learn something about the additional cultivation technique that he had been practicing all this time. There was a sapphire blue glow that was hidden by the surface of his body, but Lin Wu could see it himself.
"Huh… The Sapphire meridians made by the Undaunted Sapphire Body art have the effect of enhancing the durability of the meridians too… didn't know that." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
But after a second of thought, he realized that it was understandable. The Undaunted Sapphire Body Art was an unpracticed cultivation technique. Even its creator had not utilized it and had died before that.
Thus, while she had managed to write down about the main effect of the technique, she had missed out on the extra effects of it that could only be discovered after testing out the technique first.
In a way, Lin Wu was the one who was beta testing the entire Undaunted Sapphire Body Art.
"I guess that's why the technique starts converting the meridians from the outermost part first and not the inner ones. The peripheral meridians will be the ones that bear the damage the most anyway." Lin Wu nodded to himself before trying to get out of the ground.
Though this was not for long since several black tendrils came out of nowhere and wrapped around him, pulling him into the air.
"Huh? What?!" Shirong, who had finally recovered from the shock of the impact, said in surprise.
He traced the source of the black tendrils and saw that they were coming from none other than the Child who was at the Dao Shell realm. Each of his right hand's fingers was connected to one of the Black tendrils.
They all wrapped around his body, with four on his limbs, one on his neck, one on his upper torso and one on his waist. They fully restrained him in place, making him unable to move at all. Even his neck was stuck in one place, and he could only move his eyeballs to see things.
As for his spirit sense? It was getting restrained too. Because the seven black tendrils were wrapped around him, Shirong's spirit sense found it hard to leave his body.
"It is no use struggling. Your time is over!" The Dao Shell realm cultivator spoke.
Lin Wu tried to use his spirit sense as well and found it to be movable.
"Dang! The range is reduced to just a few meters… just what level of suppression is this?" Lin Wu couldn't help but question.
Though unlike Shirong who was stuck looking in one direction due to his neck getting restricted, Lin Wu could still look in a 360 angle due to his eyes being movable. Lin Wu looked towards the direction of the barriers and saw that the followers had managed to take down another barrier, leaving only the 12th and the final 13th barrier standing.
"Come on… be a bit quicker and reach the 13th barrier. A huge surprise is waiting for you…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
He now knew that the best chance at survival was to delay this as long as possible so that either the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle might wake up on her own, or the collapse of the 13th barrier disturbs her enough to awaken.
Either of those options was acceptable to Lin Wu and the only thing that he didn't want to happen was this Dao Shell realm cultivator finding out who or what he was.
'If he really is linked with the Shadow Calamity, then me having knowledge about the Taiji Celestials tomb might put me at a greater risk than before.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
Shirong felt upset at everything and understood that there was something far more sinister going on in the Dread Coil Marsh than what his clan had originally thought.
"Do you dare kill me? Try and do that! Come on! Then see how the entire Ji clan descends upon this place! You will have no place to run!" Shirong taunted.
Report chapter
Seeing that Shirong had decided to reveal his identity and use the influencer card, Lin Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"They killed your uncle without much. Do you think they will not do the same now? They definitely don't care for the opinion of other powers." Lin Wu couldn't help but say.
Alas, Shirong didn't get to hear that or he would have definitely been shocked. But the reason why Lin Wu was even more sure of how the followers of the Skull god would act was the fact that they were inexplicably linked to the Shadow calamity.
And if they were linked to something this strong, then the powers of this world would not really fare well against them.
"AHAHAHA!" Suddenly, the child started to laugh.
This brought Lin Wu's attention to him and he felt that he was truly thinking right. The Dao Shell realm cultivator was laughing in ridicule.
"Ahahaha!" The child continued to laugh as if he had heard the world's biggest joke.
Seeing this Shirong felt infuriated.
"What are you laughing about? Don't tell me you get scared to insanity?" Shirong said out loud.
"Huh?" Upon hearing the words of Shirong, the child stopped laughing and looked at him. "Do you think I care about the Ji clan? While they may be powerful, they will still take a long time to reach this place." He added.
Shirong narrowed his eyes and knew that it was true. Even if he died here and the soul flame lamp in his clan died out, they will still take a long time to find out the exact location. This was the reason why the Ji clan was investigating this location in the first place.
None of the powers of the world currently had a full idea about what had happened in the Dread Coil Marsh and why it was so strange and dangerous.
"Even if you die, and the Ji clan comes here, we would be long gone and our power would be the strongest in the world!" The child exclaimed with a hint of insanity in his eyes.
"Besides, I'm sure the Ji clan will never find out because I'm not going to kill you." The Dao Shell realm cultivator spoke.
"Huh?" both Lin Wu and Shirong couldn't help but be dumbfounded at this.
'It can't be that he wants to forgive us or something, right?' Lin Wu wondered.
~chuckle~
Seeing Shirong's confusion, the child chuckled again and pulled them closer towards him.
"Rather than killing you, I have a much better use." The child said as he trailed a finger over the face of Shirong.
"Ugh… Suuuper Creepy dude…" Lin Wu felt himself tremble.
Shirong was the same and felt the coldness from the fingers on his face despite the helmet of the armor.
"What are you going to do?" Shirong questioned staunchly.
"You must be a direct descendant of the Ji clan… you're the heir, aren't you?" The Dao Shell realm guessed accurately. "No wonder you were so arrogant." He added upon seeing the faint reaction from Shirong.
"Your talent definitely gives you the pass to be arrogant though… and that's the very talent I desire." The Dao Shell realm cultivator spoke.
Hearing this Shirong's brows furrowed when it clicked him.
"You want me to join you? NEVER!" Shirong staunchly said.
"Ahahha! You will join us… but not as a follower." The Dao shell realm cultivator said before an obsessive look appeared on his face. "No… YOU WILL JOIN US AS OUR GOD!"
It was time again for Lin Wu and Shirong to be confounded by the words of the child. At this point, they were really wondering if these were just the nonsense ramblings of a real child and not an actual cultivator.
"Our god has been searching for a vessel to descend into this world and you will be the perfect one. You have the talent and the identity that is worth being the great Skull god's vessel." The Dao Shell realm cultivator revealed.
Hearing this, Shirong's eyes went wide while Lin Wu couldn't help but say, "I KNEW IT! ANOTHER OLDIE WANTING A FRESH YOUNG BODY TO TAKEOVER!"
By now Lin Wu knew for sure that the Skull God wasn't actually a god and was just a strong cultivator who might have reached a cultivation base above the Immortal Ascension realm. The ones that reached that realm, would obviously ascend to a higher realm and could not come back.
Unless of course, they fulfilled certain conditions for that. Usually, they could suppress their cultivation and descend, or send an avatar made by them. But for some cultivators, there were additional conditions such as those that were specifically rejected by a world.
For such cultivators, the paths to descend were far less and they could only wait to find a good opportunity. One such method was taking the soul and body of a person native to the world.
While this was something that could be accomplished easily for someone on their level of power and people, if they also wanted to be strong when they descended, they would need a body that was equivalent to that strength.
Which meant that while they could literally pick up some random beggar off the street or an orphan off the street, it was more than likely that their bodies would be destroyed before the cultivator fully took over them.
If they were talking over a weaker person, they might need to have a very high compatibility to do so. The other option that they had, thought was for them to find a talented cultivator to take over.
That way, their avatar that descended or they themselves will have a far stronger cultivation base than the others. They will also have the chance to progress it further and faster than normal, which would allow them to do whatever they wanted much quicker.
Shirong here fulfilled all of those conditions and on top of that, had the identity of a prestigious clan heir. If they were able to fool the other clan members, they would even have a better advantage than before.
With all that done, Shirong and Lin Wu realized that Shirong was fucked.
"Welp… it was nice knowing you. See you sometime later, maybe I'll meet your reincarnation." Lin Wu said and started to think about an escape plan.
While he had not been found out yet by the Dao shell realm cultivator, if he changed his from right now, there was a great chance he would be found out. As Lin Wu thought this, the Dao shell realm cultivator seemed to have pulled out a black skull from his spatial storage treasure.
The Skull looked like it was covered in dark tar and gave off an ominous vibe.
"BEHOLD!" The Dao Shell realm cultivator said before raising the Black skull towards Shirong.
The skull suddenly started to shake and trembled in his hands before floating on its own. It then started to deform before endless amounts of smoke started to come out of it. The smoke was dark like crude oil and covered Shirong and in turn, Lin Wu.
"You shall now have the honor of becoming the vessel of the great skull god! Be happy that your meager existence now has a better meaning!" the Dao Shell realm cultivator stated.
While this was happening, the system was sending out a multitude of warnings to Lin Wu.
~WARNING!~
——
FOREIGN PRESENCE DETECTED: Unknown
INTRUSION DETECTED: Taking preventive measures.
MEASURES COMPETED: Link to Subject Shirong disconnected
——
The moment this happened, Shirong felt as if the brand he had on the Immortal Crystal Armament had disappeared.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Shirong let out a loud roar of disagreement.
Lin Wu on the other hand, didn't really feel anything.
"Oof! Lemme just take back the synchronizing links as well." Lin Wu muttered before retracting the hundreds of needles that were pierced into Shirong's body.
This process was not something that could be hurried and thus Lin Wu needed to be careful, lest he ended up injuring his meridians. Shirong could also feel the power he got from the Immortal Crystal Armament, fading away by the second, and got tensed.
"Don't worry, after all this is over and the great skull god descends, you won't even know why you were anxious in the first place… AHAHAHA!" The Dao Shell realm cultivator said before laughing.
"HAIL TO THE SKULL GOD!"
"HAIL TO THE SKULL GOD!"
"HAIL TO THE SKULL GOD!"
"HAIL TO THE SKULL GOD!"
"HAIL TO THE SKULL GOD!"
All the followers of the Skull god except for those that were working on the barriers kneeled down and kowtowed in the direction of Shirong. Their dedication and emotions could be felt from this and their voices joined together to echo across the ruins.
Seeing all this, Lin Wu felt even more creeped out and couldn't wait to get away from here.
"Dang man, they're getting even worse." Lin Wu said to himself.
It was now that the smoke started to enter Shirong's body fully.
Report chapter
The smoke started to spread through Shirong's body and both he and Lin Wu could feel it. The sensation of it was quite strange, to say the least.
There was no pain or discomfort they felt, except for at the start. After that passed, Shirong mostly felt numb in his body and couldn't tell what exactly was happening. His five senses had stopped working as well and he was trapped in his own mind.
Lin Wu on the other hand was still normal and could sense everything. But in addition to that, he started to get strange sensations from the smoke.
"What is this?" Lin Wu couldn't help but mutter.
It was now that the system suddenly sent out a new notification.
~Ding~
——
DATA NODE DETECTED: Intercepted successfully
ANALYZING: Large sized Data node identified
——
Seeing this Lin Wu was surprised and wondered if the Data node was from the smoke that was forcing its way into Shirong's body.
'May as well see what this is. At least till its time for the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle to wake up or for the barriers to collapse.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
"Alright system, show me what the data node contains." Lin Mu ordered.
~DING~
——
DECOMPRESSING DATA NODE: Please wait a moment
DATA NODE DECOMPRESSED: Transmitting data
——
Once the system gave the final input, Lin Wu's vision went dark. Then he felt a splitting headache, as if a mountain of information had just been crammed into his head and it was all threatening to burst out.
"ARGH! Dammit! Filter this out system!" Lin Wu yelled.
With that order, the information that was rushing into his mind slowed down and became a bit more streamlined. But even then it felt a bit too much for Lin Wu to focus on. It was as if he was trying to do hundreds of things at once and nothing made sense.
A few things even started to appear in his vision but they flitted by so fast he could not pay attention to them. It seemed to him like he was flowing through a river of memories and a lot of them were jumbled up.
There were tides in this river of memories as some went up and some went down. Some were more turbulent while some were calmer. Overall Lin Wu knew that perhaps this was the most amount of information he was being given at once.
~Ding~
——
WARNING!: Processing limits reached
DATA BANKS: Saturating!
EMERGENCY PROTOCOL: Activated
——
Lin Wu was stunned upon seeing these warnings and knew that the system was in trouble now. It had not had such kinds of problems since his cultivation base had increased as the system's capabilities increased along with it.
But he didn't have to worry for long since the system took corrective measures in a bit.
~Ding~
——
ACTIVATING ADDITIONAL PROCESSING POWER: Computational A.I.'s Added
COMPUTATIONAL A.I. NUMBER 3: Activated
DATA BANKS: Upper capacity increased
——
Once the third Computation A.I. was activated, Lin Wu felt the load on his mind significantly reduced and he could think straight again. If before he was flowing along with the river of memories while being tossed in it from time to time, now it was like he was floating above the river while being able to observe it more properly.
~phew~
Lin Wu couldn't help but take a breath of relief as the strain on his mind reduced.
"Now let's see what all this is…" Lin Wu muttered before picking a random place to start from.
The scene in front of Lin Wu changed and what replaced it was a pool of black tar. The tar looked to be still but there were still some movements from time to time. The pool of tar stayed in the same state for an unknown amount of time before it suddenly started to bubble.
The bubbling continued to get more and more intense before finally, it exploded. And from the explosion appeared a being that looked like a bare human skeleton. It had no skin, no flesh, no organs. All that was present on it were white bones.
The skeleton flew up in the sky and pointed towards a pool of tar that had become quite reduced in quantity than before. The tar started to flow up towards him before forming into a black robe with a hood.
The robe was over the side and his hands and legs could not be seen from it, thereby hiding the skeleton completely. With this done, the skeleton flew up in the sky and disappeared.
Lin Wu was rather shocked seeing this as he could feel the aura of the skeleton from this memory. It was easily the strongest being he had felt till now and could easily be compared to some of the beings shown in the memories of the Taiji Celestial.
"This skeleton… it's the skull god isn't it… or rather the cultivator that became the skull god…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
The pool of black tar was also a bit familiar to Lin Wu. It was just like the corrupting fluid that was left behind by the Shadow calamity. But here it looked like it had done something completely different.
This confirmed to Lin Wu that the Skull god was definitely linked to the Taiji Celestial and might even be a by-product of his 'evil counterpart' which was nothing but the shadow calamity. Lin Wu also knew that while the Taiji Celestia had eliminate most of the traces of the Shadow Calamity, there were still some hidden traces that were missed by him.
That was entirely the reason why Taiji Celestial had left behind his inheritance.
"If the Taiji Celestial can leave behind his inheritance then perhaps one of his 'seeds' also left behind its own inheritance and it ended up being taken by this Skull god." Lin Wu understood.
He continued to watch the memories and waited for the new one to load.
In the new memory, Lin Wu could see the skull god standing on a large podium while commanding a large army below him. He pointed it towards what looked like a massive city and sent them off to battle.
The soldiers killed their way to the city only to be stopped by a few strange cultivators. The skull god didn't act through and simply watched as the two armies killed each other until only he and three other cultivators were left.
Here started the battle between the skull god and the three cultivators. They were different from normal humans though and were far taller, being at least three meter tall. They also had a few long feathers arising from the back of their necks and they were of different colors for each person.
Their faces looked like that of normal humans except for perhaps their noses being sharper.
An intense battle ensued between the skull god and the three cultivators which resulted in mutual destruction. The skull god was killed when one of the cultivators chose to self detonate while holding on to him.
This led to an area of over a thousand kilometers being reduced to dust, leaving behind a massive crater at the bottom of which roaring magma could be seen. Just from this, one could imagine how deep it went.
The memory ended here and left Lin Wu curious about what happened next.
"Is there more? Ugh! Finding anything in this chaos is impossible. All of the memories are broken in fragments and are in no proper order." Lin Wu understood upon sifting through a few of them.
Lin Wu could not estimate which memory came first and which one was later. All he could do right now was to hope that he could match them up according to the difference in the events of those memories.
At least from the two that he watched, he could tell that the first one that he saw was definitely set earlier than the one he watched just now.
"The first should be how the skull god was born perhaps and the one that I saw might be… his death?" Lin Wu couldn't help but wonder.
He looked in the river of memories and picked on that seemed to be the closest.
The scene in front of him changed to that of a starry sky.
"No wait… this isn't sky… this is… the outer space isn't it?" Lin Wu realized.
Here the skull god could be seen traveling on a large ship that was made fully out of bones. The five great masts of the ship were made from long bones that were straight and rigid, while the keel of the ship was made from the spine of some kind of a creature.
The ship soared thorough the space and passed by countless stars and asteroids. It sometimes came across planets and worlds, ravaging them. Some of the planets though were clearly avoided by the ship as if scared of them and some areas were bypassed as well.
"Huh… is he a space pirate or something?" Lin Wu couldn't help but say.
Report chapter
Lin Wu watched on the hundreds of exploits of the Skull god.
He was literally the same as a pirate, plundering and killing, except it was not ships that he plundered but rather entire planets and worlds. This also gave Lin Wu some new information.
"Huh… flat earthers would have a great time here… their life long wish gets to be fulfilled." Lin Wu said upon seeing the many flat worlds that floated in the space.
Not only were there planets, but there were also flat masses of land that floated around the space. Most of these were artificially made though and were run by strong cultivators. Though they were also called as worlds and were big enough to be called that.
An envelope of protective barriers surrendered them, thus allowing its atmosphere to exist normally unlike the planets that did so due to their gravity and revolution. This was also the reason why the words 'World' and 'Planets' were so often used interchangeably.
There were planets that were worlds and flat land masses that were worlds, too. Of course, seeing this, Lin Wu was greatly interested in whether the flat earther theories would come true or not.
He saw that when someone reached the edge of the world, they did not fall rather, they simply appeared on the exact opposite side of the world. This allowed Lin Wu to understand that there was additional consideration made in the making of these worlds.
There were even specific spatial formations that bend the space such that it allowed the edges of the world to be linked despite being separate.
As for how someone left the world? It was simple, they could either go straight up or straight down. The bottom of the world was actually not inhabited and was just a mass of barren rock.
Of course, this was just one of the examples of flat worlds that Lin Wu saw and there were many more that used both surfaces of the world for living space.
Lin Wu got to learn of artificial cradle worlds that were made by strong cultivators. These were made with the intention of rearing true talent that was completely uninfluenced by any other cultivator.
"Huh, never thought I'd get to see free range organically grown humans too…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
Lin Wu couldn't really understand the reason behind why the cultivators would make something like this thought.
'If they wanted talent, can't they just get their own world's people? What's the use in making a world with humans that know nothing of the world, not even that they are an experiment…' Lin Wu wondered.
It was also impossible for him to understand just how strong these cultivators were to be able to make worlds such as these as the Skull god avoided them entirely due to fear. This at least allowed Lin Wu to place the skull god in a power structure.
So far he had it as:
The Taiji Celestial Artificial World making Cultivators Planet owning cultivators Skull god The rest.
The Skull god fought many worlds and waged hundreds of wars, becoming the ruler of the worlds he found to be valuable to keep, while destroying those that were not worth in his eyes.
It was during this time that he officially came to be known as the 'Skull God'.
"So the power and influence over multiple words is what gave him the title." Lin Wu said, thinking more. "But that's all it is… a title with no actual power behind it. There is no way he's actually a god." Lin Wu understood.
The memories continued to flow and ebb as Lin Wu went deeper and deeper. Eventually, he came across a memory that told him about the realms that existed above the Immortal Ascension realm!
"BINGO! NOW THAT'S SOMETHING WORTH WATCHING!" Lin Wu said in excitement as he hurriedly pulled the memory pulled out.
The scene in front of Lin Wu changed and as a surprise to him, he saw a young boy. The child seemed to be of ten years of age and was wearing blue Daoist robes. He was sitting in what looked like a large classroom and there were hundreds of other children such as him there.
'A school?' Lin Wu guessed, but upon seeing the cultivation bases of all the children here, he couldn't help but be astounded.
"WHAT THE FUCK! All the kids are in the Nascent Soul realm!" Lin Wu exclaimed in shock.
"What kind of a world is this? What level is it even at?" Thousands of questions poured into Lin Wu's mind as he watched the class proceed.
Most of the content of the class was cultivation guidance and theories that even Lin Wu knew, but some of them intrigued Lin Wu.
"This is definitely a high leveled cultivation world. At least far higher than this one." Lin Wu added.
While Lin Wu didn't know if this was an average school or some high class sect, either way, its standard seemed to be much higher than that of the Ming Dao world. Not to mention, just the children in this class could easily match most of the experts of Ming Dao world alone.
"Damn… just want kind of class fights must they have? A simple argument might lead to mountains upon mountains being eliminated." Lin Wu wondered.
He could tell that all these were truly children and not just cultivators that looked to be young. Thus conflicts and arguments amount them must be incredibly common as was in all school going children.
The lessons continued for hours upon hours, such that even Lin Wu was getting tired.
"Damn, hasn't it already been a day for them?" Lin Wu estimated.
But despite that, they kept on going and more time passed. This was the longest continuous memory Lin Wu had seen and was one of the bigger fragments in the river of memories.
"At least the system is getting a lot of new data, aren't you system?" Lin Wu asked.
"Affirmative!"
While Lin Wu was getting bored in the lecture, the system had sent out several notifications regarding the analysis for cultivation techniques that Lin Wu had obtained previous.
~DING~
——
TASKS COMPLETED: …(see list)
DATA BANKS: Updated
——
"Oh my, just this lecture managed to speed up the system's analysis by this much. Guess this was not a waste at all and was rather a bargain!" Lin Wu understood.
Now, in addition to the Immortal Sky Shaker art and Undaunted Sapphire body art, Lin Wu had a hundred more cultivation techniques that he could use if need be. But Lin Wu knew that the system had already ranked them according to the benefits. And since they didn't pick the system's attention, Lin Wu decided to put them on the back burner.
"If need be, I'll let the system do a further analysis and see if anything can be made from all the weaker cultivation techniques…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
And just as he did this, he heard a sentence that pulled his full attention.
"Teacher, what realms lie above the Immortal Ascension realm?" The child that Lin Wu had seen at the start of the memory questioned.
"Ah! Here's the part I came for!" Lin Wu said as he watched it with his full focus.
"You kids shouldn't worry about the realms that exist above the Immortal Ascension realm for now. Remember, if you want to graduate to the next grade you have to reach the Dao Shell realm first." The Teacher sternly spoke.
Lin Wu tried to estimate the cultivation base of the teacher but was completely unable to do so. To him he the teacher looked to have no aura or spirit Qi fluctuations, which only happened if the man was a common human or had a cultivation base that was many times above Lin Wu.
"System, you got any guess as to what realm he's at?" Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
——
ANSWER: The Teacher is above the Immortal Ascension realm.
——
Seeing the answer, Lin Wu didn't know whether to laugh or not.
"You've learned to joke now too, huh? System…" Lin Wu said with a knowing tone.
The system didn't reply to him though and Lin Wu just focused back on the class.
"Please~ Teacher~ We'll be good students and do our best to reach it!" the child said, while giving the teacher a pleading look.
The stern teacher looked at him for a while before softening.
~Sigh~
"Fine… But I won't be giving any details about it as it will only disturb your Dao hearts!" The Teacher replied.
"That's fine teacher." The child said.
"YAAYYYY!!!" Upon hearing the answer from the teacher, the rest of the class couldn't help but shout out in excitement.
Seeing this made Lin Wu smile wryly.
"Man, if I didn't know these kids could causally slap a dinosaur to death, I would have definitely thought this was just a normal class." Lin Wu said to himself.
The teacher then glared at the students, prodding them to become silent.
"Now then, listen carefully as I'll only say this once." The teacher warned before taking a deep breath.
"You all must know the Immortal Ascension realm is one of the Ascension realms and has no specific stage within it. The Ascension of a cultivator depends on many factors but it's chiefly due to two; first, their comprehension and second, the world they live in.
Our world is in the Immortal Realm and as such, the second factor does not apply to us. In the Mortal worlds though, when a cultivator reaches the Immortal Ascension realm, they must comprehend the Dao using their Dao embryo and make it grow.
Only when it reaches a suitable level where the world determines that it is at its limit does it allow one to ascend. Of course, different worlds have different conditions on this and some can only support the ascension of only a few Immortal Ascension realm cultivators every few millennia.
Mortal worlds need to use their own energy to make the Immortal Ascension realm cultivators ascend and open the gates between the greater void and the Grand Void, allowing the cultivator to cross over.
Once they successfully cross over, they arrive in a place called as the Ascendence platform. These are nothing but the linking gates that connect a lower world with a higher world.
You all must remember the field trip we took two months ago. That place was the Ascendence platform. That is where the cultivators from the lower worlds arrive into ours. Of course, there are many such platforms in myriads of worlds.
Some worlds have definite links, while some are random. The mortal worlds that are not linked with an Ascendence platform either randomly form a link with the closest platform, or forcefully push out the cultivator into the Greater Void.
The second situation only happened, if the said mortal world has been isolated for a long time and is located extremely far from an Ascendence platform.
Only when they successfully reach it are they considered to have broken through. It is at this point that their cultivator base starts to progress and they become what is known as False Immortals.
At this point, if their talent is high and their foundation stable, they will have their first Immortal Tribulation. There are seven such tribulations and each one varies and also gives the sub realms their names.
The sub realms of Immortal Ascension realms start from the First Tribulation Immortal, second tribulation immortal, all the way to the Seventh Tribulation immortal.
Each tribulation can be taken independently and at anytime a cultivator wants. Since they correspond to a specific element, they could undergo the tribulation of that specific element.
For example, if a cultivator has an affinity with the fire element, they might want to undergo that tribulation first, thereby increasing their strength. And if they are not confident with a certain element, they might take it later.
Such are the realms above the Immortal Ascension realms." The teacher concluded the lesson, enlightening the children and Lin Wu as well.
Report chapter
Lin Wu was astounded upon hearing the realms above the Immortal Ascension realm.
"They are rather simple and don't have much differentiation other than the fact that one needs to overcome tribulation. And even those can be picked according to the preference of the cultivator.
Hmm… all this seems too simple… what's the catch?" Lin Wu wondered.
He wanted to watch more, but the memory ended here, leaving him unsatisfied.
~Sigh~
"I guess, I just gotta see another one…" Lin Wu muttered to himself as he sifted through the memories.
One by one, he watched tens upon tens of memories, learning about a lot of things that he didn't know previously and a lot of useless things as well. The system was steadily recording everything, thus Lin Wu was pleased with that at least.
Now if he came across these things in the future, he would know about them beforehand. Plus, the analytical speed of the system was also improving due to the updates on the Data banks.
Most of the things he learned were smaller nuances of the cultivation world and information about the various items and techniques of the world. Unfortunately, Lin Wu was unable to obtain any cultivation technique or skill from this, as most of the memories were incomplete.
"Just how long have I been here for and how much time has passed?" Lin Wu couldn't help but wonder.
~Ding~
——
ANSWER: It has been 17.43 seconds in the real world since the host appeared in the river of memories.
——
Seeing this Lin Wu couldn't help but be shocked.
"Damn! The time difference is massive!" Lin Wu said. "But how?" he asked.
~Ding~
——
ANSWER: All these memories have already been loaded into the system. The host is merely viewing them as the system analyzes them.
——
"Wait a minute… you mean to say, I'm inside you now, system?" Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
——
ANSWER: The host's consciousness is currently within in the system's analytical circuits. Usually, the system would read through the memories and analyze them according to the order they appear in but with the host picking them, the system is merely shifting the order.
——
Seeing the explanation of the system, Lin Wu finally understood how it was happening.
"But this still doesn't explain the time difference… I've easily spent hundreds of hours' worth of time in those memories." Lin Wu replied.
~Ding~
——
ANSWER: While the host's consciousness is here, it will be synced with the clock speed of the system. The passage of time in the real world is irrelevant here. With the addition of more computational AI's the speed of the system will increase.
——
Learning all this, Lin Wu couldn't help but feel astounded.
"Damn, even at three computation AI's it is already this fast. If more of them are added, just how fast will the processing even get?" Lin Wu wondered.
With Lin Wu's current cultivation base, the system could activate three computation A.I.'s in addition to the main one.
~Sigh~
"Thinking about this won't do me good. Just gotta focus on the task at hand, I'll unlock more of them as I increase my cultivation anyway…" Lin Wu muttered to himself as he started to look through the memories again.
What he was doing right now was pretty much the same as looking at the cover of a book and picking it. Though it was not exactly like that, since he could see a few snippets from the memories as well.
"That one!" Lin Wu picked a memory upon hearing a very interesting word.
~shua~
The scene in front of him changed and a court appeared. Lin Wu could see the Skull god sitting at the head of the hall while his subordinates sat in two rows in front of him. They seemed to be discussing something.
"Skull Lord, we have found several traces of the spirit Qi signature that you told us to search." One of the subordinates of the Skull God spoke.
It was evident that this happened a while ago when the Skull God wasn't known as 'god' but just a 'lord'. The subordinate of the skull god also looked like a normal human, though not all of them were like this.
There were several other races mixed in as well that had various other features, such as horns, feathers, claws, and many more. Diversity was abundant in the court of the skull god, but the one thing in common was that all of them exuded a dark aura from them.
'They are definitely at the False Immortal Realm or above that.' Lin Wu thought upon sensing their presence.
It was far stronger than the aura of an Immortal Ascension realm cultivator that Lin Wu had experienced in some other memories. The thing that differentiated them from the Immortal Ascension realm and other realms below was that there wasn't just spirit Qi fluctuations coming from them, but also another type of Qi… The Immortal Qi.
This prompted Lin Wu to remember the unknown type of energy the system had found in the beast carapace fragment when it had injured Shirong before.
"Could that unknown energy be Immortal Energy?" Lin Wu wondered.
"Negative." The system suddenly replied.
"Huh? What do you mean system?" Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
——
ANSWER: The energy signature of the Immortal Qi does not match that of the Unknown energy. But its similarity to Immortal Qi is more than that of the spirit Qi, which according to calculations, is likely to be an even higher rank of energy.
——
Lin Wu didn't know what to think of after hearing this. Even Immortal Qi was something that was quite far from his current level, not to mention whatever the unknown energy was.
"I'll think of that later, or it'll just bug my mind for a long time." Lin Wu muttered to himself and shook his head.
He looked back at the memory and saw the Skull god raise his head, or rather, his skull. He had no eyes and thus the empty eye sockets glared at the subordinate that had spoken.
Report chapter
"He's not that creepy, now that I look at him." Lin Wu spoke upon seeing the skull of the skull god.
"Speak…" The Skull god spoke in a voice that was cold and airy.
"Okay, I take that back. He's still creepy." Lin Wu immediately changed his stance upon hearing the skeleton's voice.
He had no flesh and thus no vocal cords. How he was speaking right now, was a mystery to Lin Wu.
"Aren't undead skeletons supposed to have flames or something burning in their eyes or body? This guy is completely bare. If he was placed in a museum, one would think he was just a showpiece." Lin Wu couldn't help but say.
The subordinate of the Skull god nodded his head before continuing to speak.
"The traces of the Qi signature were found in an upper tier mortal world called as the Ming Dao world." The subordinate spoke.
"Ming… Dao… World…" The Skull God repeated.
This was the word that had pulled Lin Wu's attention when picking from thousands of memories.
"Here we go, let's see what you have to say…" Lin Wu muttered as he watched on with full attention.
After a minute's pause, the Skull God spoke again.
"Tell me more about this world." The Skull God ordered.
"There are no particularly interesting points about this world, except for the fact that we also detracted signs of the Guardian beasts there." The subordinate spoke.
~Crack~
Hearing this, the skull god gripped the handle of his throne tightly, breaking it in a second.
~gulp~
The other subordinates of the Skull god got scared and swallowed their saliva. They knew that their master was upset upon hearing this and they did not want him to let out his rage upon them.
While it was rare for their master to get angry, whenever he did, it would easily result in the death of several thousand beings.
"They are pests… putting their claim to each world… thinking they can be the rulers… everywhere…" The Skull god muttered to himself.
While others could not hear his word, Lin Wu could clearly do.
"Huh? Claim to a world?" Lin Wu wondered what the skeleton was meaning by this.
"How do you want us to proceed, my lord? We won't be able to go there the normal way, our galleon will be blocked by the greater void's barriers even before we reach the Ming Dao world.
And if we forcefully navigate through the void by taking a longer route, descending into the Ming Dao world would definitely bring the attention from the Guardian Beast temple. If their nearby branches detect it and send one of their members, we won't be able to resist." The subordinated explained further.
The Skull God steed silent for a while, as if deep in thought.
"This Ming Dao World… does it have any Immortal Ascension realm cultivators?" The Skull God questioned.
"From what we detected on the scans, there might be a couple of them. But this is not fully accurate as the distance between us and the Ming Dao world is quite far. We are in the Western Immortal Court's Domain while the Ming Dao world comes under the Northern Immortal Court's." The subordinate answered.
"What of the guardian beasts… have they established their foot hold there yet?" The Skull god questioned.
"This is the better result we got. As far as we can tell, there are zero traces of them having awakened and no temple has been established there either as we can't find it on the transmission network according to our spies in the Immortal Court." The Subordinate answered.
Hearing this, the Skull god tapped his finger on the hand rest a few times before nodding his head.
"Good… at least they are still asleep. As long as the beacons have not been awakened, we still have a chance at this." The Skull God replied.
"Please tell us how you want us to do it, Lord Skull." The other subordinates of the Skull god responded this time.
It was evident that the Skull God was putting a lot of emphasis on this world and that meant they would have a chance at pleasing their master. The Skull God looked at his subordinates and thought for a bit before speaking up.
"Since going there on our own is not an option, and it being a mortal world prevents any immortals from entering, I shall have to send an avatar in." The Skull God spoke.
~gasp~
All the subordinates of the Skull God were stunned upon hearing this and couldn't help but doubt their ears.
"B-But my lord… that will weaken you… Are you sure you want to take this risk?" One of the wolf like subordinates of the Skull God questioned.
"I am… but we will not be doing it openly. No… that will be a death sentence and will invite the immortal court's ire." The Skull god replied.
"Yes, they have us on the blacklist. If any of us tried to send an avatar to any mortal world, the immortal Court's Divine Scrying Palace will detect it." Another subordinate that had the head of an ant spoke.
"Then how shall we do this?" The human subordinate of the Skull God questioned.
"We will have to muddy the waters first… while we are restricted in interfering in the matters of the mortal worlds, so are the Immortal Courts. As long as the one invading is another mortal world, they will not interfere." The Skull God spoke.
All of the subordinates of the skull god listened with rapt attention, not wanting to miss anything.
"Spread a rumor about a hidden mortal world that has immortal treasures among the world travelers. Focus on the world with Ascension platforms that links with Mortal Worlds close to the Ming Dao world. The rumor should eventually find its way to the mortal worlds and they won't be able to resist." The Skull God explained.
"THE SKULL LORD IS GENIUS! No one in the immortal court will care for a world that has not produced any Immortals yet."
