While Lin Wu was done with the cleaning of the Skull god's traces, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle had begun her own cleaning session.

~SHUA~

Endless flames spread out from her body as they got more and more intense.

~PIIIIIIII~

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle lifted her head and raised out an echoing cry. A meter wide sphere rose up from her body and glowed in a red light.

This was her Dao shell and the small flame that flicker within it was none other than her Dao embryo. The small flame within the Dao shell flickered and suddenly let out a blinding light.

While its size did not change, its power certainly did. The Dao shell started to rise up into the sky and became almost like a second sun in the sky. The only difference was that the real sun was yellow in color while this one was Vermillion.

~BOOM~

The sound of an explosion was heard as a torrent of flames burst out from the Dao shell. The Dao embryo kept on producing Vermillion flames that scorched the earth once again. But this time, their power seemed to be even more than when the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle used it to fight the followers of the skull god.

It was evident from this that her bloodline was still improving passively even now. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle had stopped her assimilation prematurely because the followers of the skull god had created a lot of commotion.

As time passed, here Vermillion flames will only keep on getting stronger and stronger until eventually all the bloodline essence she had consumed was fully assimilated into her body, completing her transformation.

Lin Wu, who was observing it, all felt awed at it.

"Damn, the heat is still intense from here." Lin Wu said.

The platform was over a kilometer away from where the sun like Dao Shell was, but even then Lin Wu felt like he was sitting next to a blazing fire pit. Thankfully, the flames were directed in a cone shape rather than spread out in all directions, or Lin Wu would have been affected as well along with the platform.

Lin Wu didn't really want the platform to get damaged much either, as he reckoned he could make use of it later on. The only problem was for the system to figure out the rest of its formation so that he could make it work away from this area.

The platform was more like a closed circuit transport system that moved in a specific set path. Making it go past that was impossible in its current state, as the formations themselves didn't allow that.

If he wanted to change that, it would be the same as remaking the formations entirely. Previously, the system would have been unable to do this right away and would have needed a lot more information to do so.

But the memories of the skull god had allowed the system to upgrade its data banks by multiple times and now he had a lot of new information related to all cultivation matters, including formations and arrays.

"System, begin the modification of the platform so that we can use it later as well." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

TASK ASSIGNED: Transport Platform Formation Array modification

TIME REQUIRED: 2 hours, 11 minutes, 9 seconds.

—

With the confirmation notification, Lin Wu nodded his head. The time needed was very reasonable and Lin Wu didn't think it was much.

"Well then… now to observe the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle and also to check my own gains from all this…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Below, the flames of the Vermillion bird had covered the entire area of the ruins, all thirteen circles, and was now spreading past that. The speed of its spread was really fast and Lin Wu knew that it wouldn't be long till it covered the entire Dread Coil Marsh.

"Though… this is bound to bring in a lot of attention to the area." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"But it won't matter to me anyway as I'll be long gone~" Lin Wu said with a chuckle.

~shua~shua~shua~

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle kept on flapping her wings, as if fanning the flames and making them grow stronger and stronger. The ruins were completely drowned out by the flames now, and all the corpses lying around had been reduced to ash.

They were now nearing the twisting and coiling trees that were spread everywhere in the Dread Coil marsh. These trees that were rather resistant to normal attacks were like dry tinder in front of the Vermillion flames and were ignited instantly.

The flames kept on spreading and the few living creatures of the marsh were also killed by it. But this was still good for the area as these animals and creatures were the victims of the corruption caused by the Skull god as well.

The flames weren't just burning on the surface though, as they managed to penetrate the ground as well. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle was throughly roasting the soil, making sure all traces of the Skull god were being taken care of.

Some parts of the rocks and stones had already melted into puddles of hot lava while the soil was also fusing up to become hard stones. It would not be long till it would start to melt as well.

The different thing about the Vermillion flames was that the lava was no impediment to its flow. Rather than that, it actually allowed it to spread through it easily and let the Vermillion flames penetrate even deeper into the ground.

One could only imagine the geological change this would be causing. Lin Wu had already seen and experienced the power of the Aquadream Sea lotus, who was also a Dao Treading realm expert.

That creature alone had created an entire sea in a large forest and mountains. It was only fair if the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle could also do the same, if not better. After all, her bloodline belonged to the Vermillion bird, which was far superior to that of the Lotus.

Report chapter

Lin Wu watched on as the Vermillion flames ravaged the lands. From one end of the horizon to the next, only one thing could be seen, and they were the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's flames.

The flames burned for several hours and it was already nighttime by the time the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle was done with it. Actually, it wasn't that taxing for her either. At the start, she was still working on stabilizing her cultivation base, but after an hour or so she was done and just sat on the platform while her Dao shell and Dao embryo did the work.

It was as if she had just opened a tap to let the bath fill in while she took a nap. Lin Wu was quite astounded by this as he realized the Dao embryo wasn't even using the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's own spirit Qi.

Rather than that, it was absorbing spirit Qi from the surroundings on its own and then using that to produce the vermilion flames.

"Damn, the power of a Dao Treading realm expert is far more than the information that I got till now." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

The task that Lin Wu had assigned the system to modify the platform was also completed long ago, and he was just watching the flames spread the entire time. He was observing it not just because he was awed by it, but also because the system was actively recording information.

Lin Wu felt like he could gain a better understanding of the fire element and his own fragment of the Vermillion bird's bloodline if he observed the flames and he really did end up having some progress.

~Ding~

INNATE SKILL: Updated

PROFICIENT INCREASED: Flame Manipulation (great) (proficiency: Basic) - Flame Manipulation (great) (proficiency: Novice)

——

This was the result of two hours of observation that Lin Wu had done. The total time he had watched was longer than that though, and he felt like he would have another upgrade just by watching it.

But just when he felt that he was close to it, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle stopped producing the flames and recalled the Dao shell into her body.

"You're done?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Yes. The entire Dread Coil Marsh should now be covered with the flames. And even if some parts are left, the flames should spread there as well." Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle answered.

~shua~

~Crackle~

The sounds of flames burning continued to spread across the area as the ground beneath it cracked and popped after being hardened.

"How long will these flames stay like this?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Hmm… I don't know, but it should be at least a few days." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle stated. "Though we'll know if we wait long enough." She added.

Hearing her words, Lin Wu didn't know what to say.

"I guess… that works. The skull god shouldn't have many chances to escape now that we have the entire area covered. That is IF he survived the initial attack somehow." Lin Wu said.

The two beasts stood on the floating platform for a few minutes in silence as they gazed over the burning lands. It was already nighttime and the Vermillion flames made it seem like it wasn't night at all.

The light from the flames was bright enough to turn the clouds orange and since there was barely any smoke coming from the flames, it made it look even more beautiful. But this also raised the temperature of the area to at least two hundred degrees Celsius even at the height where Lin Wu currently was.

"This is definitely at the level of a calamity, now that I think of it…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"Calamity, huh…" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle suddenly said.

Lin Wu instantly became alert and wondered if there was something wrong he had said.

"Did you say something?" Lin Wu questioned.

"No… it's just that word… Calamity, it seems familiar to me." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle replied.

"The human word 'Calamity' is familiar to you?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Yes… but I don't fully remember why. I seem to have heard it a long time ago." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle replied.

"It's just a word. Maybe you heard it from other humans." Lin Wu spoke.

"No, this seems different. It's a like a very old memory during which I'm sure I didn't listen to humans talk that much or not at all." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle stated.

"A time that old?" Lin Wu thought over it for a bit before speaking, "is it perhaps from back when you didn't have this level of intelligence? Back when you were a normal Qi refining realm beast?"

Hearing this, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle suddenly raised her head.

"That may actually be it." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle replied.

"Really?" Lin Wu didn't expect he would get the right answer in one go.

"Yes." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle stated as she looked in the distance.

After a few more minutes of silence, she suddenly flapped her wings and flew up.

"Where are you going?" Lin Wu questioned.

"I'll take my leave now. I've finished my goal and need to assimilate the bloodline essence fully. This will take me more time and a more secluded location to do so." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle answered.

Hearing this, Lin Wu felt a bit unwilling to just let her go.

"Why don't you come back with me to the Millennium forest? I assure you the place will be good and no one would disturb you there either." Lin Wu asked.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle went silent for a while and thought for a bit before shaking her head.

"No, I also want to check some other things out before that… I want to find my siblings… see if they awakened the bloodline of the Vermillion bird as well." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle spoke.

"I see… I understand." Lin Wu replied, feeling inexplicably sad.

"Though I wouldn't mind coming there later to visit." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle added later on.

Lin Wu raised his eyes, and a toothy smile appeared on his face.

"Well then, I'll wait for you... Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle." Lin Wu spoke in a happy tone.

"You can call me Zhu Tianying… I think it's time I change my name." She replied.

Lin Wu nodded his head upon hearing this.

"The Vermillion Sky Eagle… It does suit you with your evolution." Lin Wu agreed.

"Farewell… Lin Wu," Zhu Tianying said one last time before turning around and flying away.

~PIIIIIII~

Her cry echoed across the skies, making the sea of flames beneath it dance. Lin Wu watched her disappear beyond the horizon before letting out a sigh.

"Can't even believe that it's been six months since then…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

'I hope we meet again soon…' He thought to himself before speaking, "system, take this platform to the east."

~shua~

In the next moment, the platform started to move and soon sped up. In a couple of minutes, it was flying at a speed that was nearly the same as that of Lin Wu's own flight speed.

In this journey, he had a lot of gains and had learned even more. Lin Wu couldn't help but sigh again as he recalled all the memories.

"I guess this can be said to be my first adventure…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"Can't say I didn't have fun though… and I got pretty strong too." Lin Wu continued.

He looked at Shirong and took out the fake spear he had put in his ring before modifying some things in it.

"This will be a bit more accurate now." Lin Wu said, before storing it back into Shirong's ring.

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

Lin Wu checked his gains from the entire adventure and nodded his head.

"I'll have to assimilate all the information of cultivation that I got from the memories as well and then increase the cultivator of my main body. Thankfully, it will benefit both of my bodies now." Lin Wu said as he soared across the sky on the platform.

Report chapter

While Lin Wu was traveling on the platform, he decided to take a detailed look at the two new innate skills he had obtained from the Vermillion birds bloodline fragment.

"System, show me the details about the two new skills." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

——

INNATE SKILL: Flame Manipulation

GRADE: Great

PROFICIENCY: Novice

INFO: Fire manipulation allows the host to create and control fire. The strength and temperature of the fire will increase according to the proficient of the skill. The host can also unlock the special 'Vermillion flames' once the grade of the skill reaches Greater.

INNATE SKILL: Fire Resistance

GRADE: Great

PROFICIENCY: Novice

INFO: Fire Resistance is a passive skill that increases the host's hesitance to fire and heat in general. This combined with the host's crystalline form makes the host resistant to most fires below eight hundred degrees Celsius.

Temperature above that will still cause the host harm and resistance will increase with the increase in proficiency.

An increase in grade will bring qualitative change and will make the host immune from all mortal fires.

Note: Special fires that contain the Dao traces and such as those from Dao embryos are exempt from this skill.

——

Seeing the detailed informatory about the two skills, Lin Wu was content. Both of them were very versatile and Fire resistance was even a passive skill that didn't really need that much spirit Qi.

"These are great! Flame manipulation increases the number of elements I can control to a total of three, while fire resistance increases my defense overall against heat. This is even better for me since I need to be careful while using radiation because of this very reason…" Lin Wu said to himself.

Feeling content about the new skills, Lin Wu decided to check up on the new bloodline.

"System, show me the info about the bloodline. The analysis should be over by now, right?" Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

——

AVATAR BLOODLINE: 1. Crimson Eyed Emerald Worm (System Manufactured)

2. Vermillion bird (Fragmented)

Vermillion bird Bloodline: Current status- Fragmented

Info: The Vermillion bird bloodline is the bloodline that belongs to one of the four guardian beasts and is one of the top bloodlines of the universe. The bloodline comes with several innate skills and techniques as well. There are bloodline memories sealed within the bloodline that can be accessed by increasing its concentration.

Upgrade requirements: More of the techniques and skills can be unlocked with the progress of the bloodline. In order to increase the bloodline, the host needs to nurture it slowly or obtain other sources of it such as bloodline crystals or essence blood.

Over time the bloodline will naturally increase in its concentration as well and the host's cultivation will also help in that.

Bloodline potential: Dao Treading realm

Info: At the current concentration of the bloodline, a bearer of the bloodline can reach the Dao treading realm at most.

Notes: This does not apply to the host due to him having another bloodline. Whenever there are multiple bloodlines in a beast, the one with the superior potential will determine the cultivation base limit.

——

Having read it all, Lin Wu realized that he may have to wait a long time for the bloodline to increase on its own.

"System, what's the estimated time for it to grow on its own?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: at the current rate, the Vermilion bird bloodline will reach the next stage in 112 years, 4 months and 21 days.

——

Reading this, Lin Wu couldn't help but sigh to himself.

~Sigh~

"I don't think I can find any bloodline crystals or this either. Whatever there were in this world are now part of Zhu Tianying." Lin Wu shook his head.

After thinking for a bit, Lin Wu wondered if there could be some other way.

"System, is there a way you can accelerate this process?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The system can further analyze methods for the bloodline improvement, but this is impossible at the system's current level. The system will need more Computational A.I.'s to be able to do this.

——

"Hmm, I guess the only path to do this is to increase my own cultivation and let the system unlock more computational AI.'s." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

With all that done, Lin Wu focused on the information that he had obtained till now and read through it while assimilating the knowledge about the various principles and concepts of cultivation.

Lin Wu had to admit, even if the Skull god was a troublesome being, he was a good student back then. Lin Wu had seen in the memories that the Skull god was actually a cultivator that was born in a higher world.

He reached the Nascent soul realm when he was barely nine years old as well. While he was unable to succeed later on in life, he got another opportunity and gave up his humanity to become the skull god.

The Skull god apparently managed to find an inheritance of the 'Hei' part of the one of the Seeds of the shadow calamity that were spread around the world. Usually, this should have ended up killing him like it did with the others, but with the skull god's innate talent he managed to not only survivor, but assimilated it completely into him.

If Lin Wu were to compare himself with him, right now, he would realize that the two of them were on completely different levels as of now. Even with the system's help, Lin Wu understood that he would be unable to fight against the real Skull god.

"Just as I thought… this avatar was barely anything to him and he had actually given up on it already. Luckily, this is also good for me… at least he doesn't know that I killed this avatar." Lin Wu said to himself.

But the one thing that worried him was the fact that he was unable to figure out the cultivation base of the Skull god even after all this time. He knew that the lifespan of the avatar was liked with the soul and would thus match that of the main soul.

Report chapter

All this meant that the Avatar had lived for over ten thousand years already and yet was alive. A lifespan this long was far above the Immortal Ascension realm and was among the actual immortal realm.

But even in there, Lin Wu didn't know what life spans did the immortal cultivators have. He lacked a lot of information about those realms and didn't know much other than the names of the realms and their general meanings.

"Tribulations… elements… immortals… Damn! This just gets more and more complicated. Why does it feel like my brain is limited for all this?" Lin Wu wondered to himself.

But just as he did this, he was suddenly reminded of something.

"Wait, a minute! Is this what those big cultivators mean by not chewing more than what we can eat? I can't understand that much information because my cultivation is low…" Lin Wu finally understood.

~Sigh~

"Seems like I'll need to increase my cultivation for that as well, so that my brain's capacity and procession power can increase." Lin Wu nodded to himself.

By the time he was done with all this, Lin Wu realized that the area around him had changed. This change was rather apparent since the light had decreased by a lot.

"Huh… I guess I'm finally out of the Dread Coil marsh…" Lin Wu muttered to himself as he turned back and saw the flames burning in the distance.

The area where the flames were burning was the Dread Coil marsh and he was now in the territory of the Ivory Heron dynasty. Though to be accurate, a part of the Dread Coil marsh already existed within the Ivory Heron dynasty, so he had been in here for a while now.

"Hmm… time to get rid of Shirong for now. I'll need to find a good location for that…" Lin Wu muttered to himself as he looked around.

After a bit of search, Lin Wu spotted a mountain that seemed to be relatively free from strong beasts.

"That place should work." Lin Wu said before bringing the platform to stop above it in the sky.

Lin Wu then flew down along with Shirong on his tail and came to the middle part of the mountain.

"Mining time!" Lin Wu said as he quickly dug out a large cave to put Shirong down in.

Shirong was still recovering from the damage done by the Skull god and Lin Wu didn't know how long it would take him to recover. Plus, since the system had pulled out all the links with him, they couldn't tell much in detail either.

Lin Wu didn't want to make another link right now either and thus asked the system to do a surface scan.

"System, check the condition of Shirong." Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The target is currently stable but injured. His body's meridians are damaged and so are his vessels. His Dantian is relatively undamaged and thus his nascent soul is safe too.

The target will recover on his own after a month or more of rest. The target will also stay in a comatose state due to the shock of a foreign mental influence.

——

Reading the system's answer, Lin Wu nodded his head and laid Shirong down on a relatively cleaner part of the cave he had made. After he did that he checked the area around and left a spirit Qi imprint in the cave.

"This should scare most of the beasts away and prevent them from coming closer." Lin Wu said before going towards the entrance.

He put another boulder on it to block it while looking into the cave.

"This is the least I can do… after all, I did take advantage of him quite a lot and will take more in the future… haha!" Lin Wu chuckled and closed the entrant.

~THUD~

The boulder was pushed into place and now no one could enter or leave it without it being moved. This would mostly hide Shirong from others' sights when they passed by while the spirit Qi imprint will keep the beasts away.

With all that done, Lin Wu flew up to the platform and left the area. Shirong was now an investment for the future to Lin Wu and he would benefit from it later.

"Hmm… now what do I do? Head directly back to the Millennium forest or do something else?" Lin Wu wondered.

While Lin Wu's end goal was to go to the millennium forest, he wondered if he should do some other activities on the way. And while he was doing this, he spotted a large city in the distance.

"That should be the capital of the Ivory Heron Dynasty, right?" Lin Wu muttered as he checked the map, realizing he was correct.

"I shouldn't get too close with the platform, as it will be spotted. The system can you take this any more higher?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: With the current capabilities of the platform, it is unable to go beyond 200 meters of height. The platform will need several materials to repair it and also a steady supply of energy to function.

——

~Sigh~

"Guess we'll have to bear with it. Detour it is…" Lin Wu said as the platform changed its travel direction.

It went to the right and started to curve around the capital of the Ivory Heron Dynasty. But while he was traveling around it, he suddenly felt a strong spirit Qi fluctuation.

"Huh? What was that?" Lin Wu wondered.

~DING~

——

NOTIFICATION: Dao Shell realm cultivator detected 130 kilometers away.

——

Seeing the system's warning, Lin Wu narrowed his eyes and decided to see what this cultivator was doing here.

"System, land the platform someplace hidden." Lin Wu ordered.

A minute later, the platform landed in a small lake and disappeared below the water while Lin Wu dug into the ground and moved towards the city according to where the Dao Shell realm cultivator was going.

Lin Wu observed the map and saw that the Dao Shell realm cultivator had headed straight to the royal palace.

Report chapter

Lin Wu was traveling underground and moving towards the direction where the Dao Shell realm cultivator was currently. From what he could see on the map, the Dao shell realm cultivator was also moving towards a certain direction.

At first, Lin Wu thought that he was heading towards the capital of the Ivory Heron dynasty, but the cultivator changed his direction just before reaching there. Instead of the city, he went to the north and stopped near a mountain.

"Hmm… why did he stop here?" Lin Wu couldn't help but wonder.

He looked at the map, but didn't find anything peculiar there. Lin Wu furrowed his brows and thought of something.

"System, update the map." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

SCANNER: Activated

MAP UPDATED: Please check the relevant window.

——

Lin Wu opened the full map and saw the new markers that had appeared on it.

"Oh? There's actually a hidden area here." Lin Wu said as he let his spirit sense touch the formation array that was hiding it.

With little help from the system, Lin Wu managed to bypass the formation array, and the map showed what was hidden inside it. There were two markers for Dao Shell realm cultivators on the map and three markers for Nascent soul realm cultivators.

One of the markers belonged to none other than the Dao Shell realm cultivator who had just appeared while the other one had been inside the area since the start.

"So this is a hidden cultivator abode, huh…" Lin Wu muttered to himself as he easily entered its limits.

In there, Lin Wu could finally see the simple yet elegant courtyard that had been built at the side of the mountain. There were trees that came out below it and supported the bottom of the residence.

Overall it looked like it merged with nature and did not seem out of place as if it had been like this since the start. Of course, Lin Wu could also sense several other formations set up around the courtyard including defense and offensive formations.

"Hmm… system get to work on these formations while I see what they are talking about." Lin Wu said before letting his spirit sense enter through the gaps in the formation nodes.

In the residence, Lin Wu saw the two Dao Shell realm cultivators talking while the three Nascent soul realm cultivators sat on the sides. All of the men were old and had white hair and beard, showing that they truly were quite old when they reached the Adult Soul Stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

As for the Nascent Soul realm cultivators, Lin Wu could tell that they weren't even at the Adolescent Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm right now.

"What brings you here, Minister Qi You?" The Dao Shell realm cultivator that seemed to be the owner of the Abode questioned.

"Is that really a question that you need to ask, senior Kong? I'm sure with your connections you probably know of all that is happening to the west." The man named Qi You spoke.

Senior Kong stayed silent and stared at Minister Qi You for a minute before speaking.

"You know that I've withdrawn from the politics and workings of the kingdom for a long time now. My only obligation now is to train other strong court members that can let the Ivory Heron kingdom function well." Senior Kong spoke.

"I am well aware of that Senior Kong. But the current matter is of grave importance." Minister Qi You spoke in a serious tone.

The three Nascent Soul realm cultivators also sat a bit more attentively and listened to what the man had to say.

"Such importance that the Minister of Bing Kingdom rushed all the way to the Ivory Heron dynasty?" Senior Kong questioned.

Hearing that this man was the minister of the Bing Kingdom, Lin Wu raised his brows.

'Did the Bing Kingdom finally find out about Jiao Dian city?' Lin Wu wondered.

Lin Wu didn't have to wait for a long time either as he got his answer in the next minute.

"Indeed, senior. There is not just the matter about the Dread Coil Marsh, but something else has also happened in my kingdom." Minister Qi You answered.

"What happened?" Senior Kong asked.

"The same way how the Dread Coil Marsh is burning… Jiao Dian city was burned as well." Minister Qi You said in a grave tone.

Senior Kong and the three Nascent soul realm cultivators all had stunned expressions on their faces as they had not expected this at all.

'So they really did find out… and even the Ivory Heron Kingdom knows about the fire in the Dread Coil marsh… well that was expected, after all, they do have several guard outposts that keep an eye on the dangerous marsh.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"Explain more." Senior Kong stated.

"A few days ago we sensed strong spirit Qi fluctuations coming from the direction of Jiao Dian city. They were strong… very strong…" Minister Qi You spoke.

"How strong?" Senior Kong asked again.

"Strong enough that the ancestor awakened… Dao Treading realm!" Qi You answered.

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the room went wide.

"Master! Can this really be true?" One of the Nascent soul realm cultivators asked.

"Yes, perhaps what first brother told us might have been correct." The second Nascent soul realm cultivator said while looking at the one next to him.

"I… didn't think that it would be a Dao Treading realm spirit Qi fluctuation as well." The third Nascent Soul realm cultivator spoke.

Hearing this, Qi You furrowed his brows and wondered what was this new information.

"What do you mean? Please tell me Senior Kong, all of this is very sensitive to our kingdoms. The entire Jiao Dian city's population has been wiped out and not even a trace of the city is left.

The entire city is merely a patch of black with several areas with what looked melted pools of stone and metal." Minister Qi You requested.

Report chapter

Hearing all that Qi You had said, Senior Kong sighed to himself before pouring himself a cup of tea.

~Sigh~

"Fine… I'll tell you. My first disciple practices a cultivation technique that makes him extra sensitive to spirit Qi fluctuation. Thus, in order to train this ability more, I assigned him to the outpost near the Dread Coil Marsh.

He was to focus on expanding its scope and see if he could let it work even in the Dread Coil Marsh, which is so suppressive to us cultivators. But then yesterday, he sensed a spirit Qi fluctuation as well, which alarmed him and he came to inform us.

I didn't think that it was a Dao treading realm cultivator at first, and thought he was just mistaken due to his lack of experience. After all, it wouldn't be the first strange thing we saw from the marsh.

But now… now that seems to be true." Senior Kong replied.

Minister Qi You had a confused expression on his face but then after thinking for a bit a horrified expression replaced it.

~gulp~

"Senior Kong… the Dao Treading realm fluctuation we felt north of the Bing Kingdom was also mixed with water attribute spirit Qi. The one in the Jiao Dian city was weaker than it, being at the Dao Shell realm which had the fire attribute.

The mountains northwest of the Bing kingdom were completely flooded as if a new sea had been created there." Qi You explained.

The more the people heard, the more they were stunned.

"This means… There is not one but two Dao treading Realm beings out there." The first Nascent Soul realm cultivator spoke.

"One that has mastery with fire and one with a mastery in water… we weren't able to investigate much due to the damage that was caused in the forest and mountains, but I think the two beings may have had a conflict.

Perhaps they fought and thus was the result?" Minister Qi You spoke.

~shiver~

The three Nascent Soul realm cultivators trembled and didn't know what to think of this.

"Which senior could do something like this?" They questioned.

Senior Kong thought furrowed his brows after hearing this.

"I don't think it was human cultivators that caused this… none of the Dao Treading realm cultivators that have mastery over fire and water are currently out in the open and none of them are in a conflict either." Senior Kong spoke.

"Could it be someone new that broke through?" Another Nascent soul realm cultivator questioned.

Minster Qi You shook his head in response.

"That is highly unlikely. Each breakthrough of a Dao Treading realm would cause a massive commotion and others would be bound to notice it all. Even if there was one cultivator that managed to do this secretly, two of them doing it was even more unlikely." Minister Qi You explained.

"Then what could be the reason behind this all?" The Nascent Soul realm cultivators asked.

"I think… it might be beasts." Senior Kong spoke.

"Beasts?…." The Nascent Soul realm cultivators muttered.

"If it really is beasts, then… that might actually be possible." Minister Qi You spoke.

At this moment, one of the Nascent Soul realm cultivators suddenly had an idea.

"Could it be that one of the ocean beasts left it and caused the flooding in the mountains and forests?" He asked.

"Hmm… it is highly unlikely. Aquatic Dao treading Realm beasts live deep in the great Ocean and never really come near the coasts." Senior Kong replied.

Silence descended in the hall as all the people inside were deep in thought.

Lin Wu on the other hand, was surprised that they all reach this point.

"Damn! These people are really good at analyzing things, huh…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"No, wait! There is one Aquatic beast that can actually leave the ocean!" Minister Qi You spoke.

"There is?!" The Nascent Soul realm cultivators were shocked.

"I once read about a beast that is both a plant and beast at the same time. A hybrid, if we could call it that. It lives in the Ocean and is very strong." Minister Qi You stated.

"Aquadream Lotus…" Senior Kong muttered.

"YES! That's the one!" Minister Qi You agreed.

"Master, what is this beast?" The Nascent Soul realm cultivators asked.

~Sigh~

"Fine, I'll explain." Senior Kong said before pouring himself another cup of tea and beginning his explanation.

"Oh? They actually know about this beast too." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

He then watched on as Senior Kong explained the peculiarity of the Aquadream Lotus and its different forms that existed in the world. It took him an hour to explain it all, and everyone was stunned by the end of it.

"I never expected there was so much more to this…" Minister Qi You spoke.

"The one that probably caused the flood was an Aquadream Sea Lotus. Only that can be at the Dao treading realm and live outside the water for long enough to be able to do that." Senior Kong stated.

Hearing all this, the three old Nascent Soul realm cultivators felt like a new world had been opened up for them. Despite being over three hundred years old each, they didn't know that something like this existed.

"But this still leaves us with the other Dao Treading realm beast… the one that burned the Dread Coil Marsh." Minister Qi You replied.

And just as Qi You said this, he felt the communication jade slip hum on his waist. He held it for a moment and saw the message before opening his eyes that were filled with more shock.

"I fear… I fear that the one which burned the Dread Coil Marsh might be even more stronger than the Aquadream Sea Lotus." Minister Qi You stammered.

"Why's that?" Senior Kong questioned.

"At least the mountains in the north west of Bing kingdom were just a small part of the entire area… but the one that burned the Dread Coil marsh… it burned it entirely! The flames are raging on all sides of the marsh, I just got the news that it's burning on the northern end too!" Qi You said out loud.

Report chapter

Lin Wu who heard this was rather stunned.

"Their intelligence network is rather vast, it seems. They managed to learn of this much faster than I truly expected." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Hearing the words of Minster Qi You, senior Kong and his three disciples were stunned to say the least.

"What do you mean, minister Qi You?" Senior Kong asked for clarification.

"We sent scouts to check the extent of damage due to the flood, and they even were surveying the area. While doing this, they spotted the glow in the distance and that turned out to be nothing but the burning Dread Coil marsh.

This area was the very northern border of it too! This means that not only is the eastern side of the Dread Coil Marsh burning, but the northern and western parts are burning as well. And I think… the southern part is burning as well." Minister Qi You explained.

"This… even for a Dao Treading Realm beast it's quite difficult to do something like this. Just what kind of a beast is that?" Senior Kong couldn't help but wonder.

"I fear it might be an old beast that just woke up from its feel sleep. It might even have been a native of the Dread Coil Marsh and had been sleeping there for years. Maybe the appearance of the other Dao Treading realm beast caused it to wake up.

There's even a chance that they fought together." Minister Qi You said.

"Hmm… with the level of destruction this Dao Treading realm Beast has caused, it must be at the Embryo Comprehension stage." Senior Kong stated.

"Embryo… Comprehension… stage?" one of the disciples of the man muttered in confusion.

"What are the stages in the Dao Treading realm, master?" the other disciples asked, feeling curious as well.

"I guess I'll take this opportunity to explain this to you three as well. There are three stages in the Dao Treading realm. The first stage that one enters after having broken through to the Dao treading realm is called as the Embryo Birth stage.

In this stage, the embryo had just been born and the cultivator gets used to the presence of the embryo. The cultivator will learn more about his embryo and get better control over its powers.

The second stage is called as the Embryo growth stage. In this stage, the cultivator is actively trying to grow the Dao Embryo. This can only happen when the cultivator has gained full control over their Dao Embryo.

They need to make their Dao Embryo grow so that the traces of Dao in them can increase as well. The bigger it grows, the easier time they would have in the third stage. This stage is quite dependent on the Shell expansion stage of the Dao Shell realm and if one did not work well in that stage, they would be disadvantaged here.

Once the cultivator feels like their Dao embryo cannot grow anymore or that they have reached their own personal limit, they will start to comprehend the Dao traces that are present in their Dao Embryo.

When a cultivator is said to have reached this point, he would break through to the Dao Comprehension stage automatically. This stage is also a very silent stage and one would not be able to tell if a cultivator was in this stage easily as there are no outward sights.

In reality, telling the stage of any Dao Treading realm cultivator is difficult because the changes they have can be very subjective. Some can have naturally large Dao Embryo's while some may have grown them.

Even from the Spirit Qi fluctuations, one can only tell that they are in the Dao Treading realm, but not exactly what stage they are in. Only when a cultivator goes all out in a battle and displays their capabilities can their cultivation base be estimated.

The other method would obviously be to directly probe their cultivation base with your spirit sense, but you all can guess what kind of a problem that would cause. This is on top of whether you would even be able to use spirit sense in the presence of that cultivator first of all." Senior Kong explained.

Even Lin Wu heard the entire explanation and nodded his head. The expiation he got from senior Kong was quite similar to the one he had gotten from the system. Though this one could be aside to be a bit more simple than the detailed one system gave him.

"This man is certainly a good teacher." Lin Wu nodded his head, actually feeling pleased with the man.

The three disciples listened to the explanation with their full attention and felt like they had learned a lot.

"What of the Immortal Ascension realm, senior? How does one reach it?" one of the disciples asked.

"That is something even I don't know. Very few people will ever have the chance to become an Immortal Ascension realm cultivators and even in our world right now, there are less than five of them.

You can estimate from this how difficult it is to reach the Immortal Ascension realm from this." Senior Kong replied.

"I see…" The disciples muttered in response.

Lin Wu, who heard this, knew how one reached the Immortal Ascension realm. But the problem he had with it was quite different.

"There are way too many methods to reach the Immortal Ascension realm. They could literally continue to cultivate and luckily, reach the Immortal Ascension realm. Or they could just have dog shit luck and be given some kind of an inheritance that pushes them to there." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Due to having seen the Skull God's memories, Lin Wu now knew a lot about the realms that existed below the Immortal Realm. Lin Wu even knew of the alternative methods of cultivation such as the Body cultivation.

Lin Wu knew that there was also the Five Treasures realm, which was an all encompassing realm whose sub stages were equal to the peak realms of the spirit Qi cultivation.

Report chapter

Learning about the five Treasures realm was a strange thing to Lin Wu. He could tell that the Five Treasures realm was inherently far more superior than the spirit Qi cultivation since just the sub stages were as strong as the entire realms of spirit Qi cultivation.

But he also knew that it was very difficult to cultivate it. In the entire Ming Dao world, Lin Wu was sure there was no cultivator who had taken this path. As even in the memories of the Skull God there were rarely any people who practiced that path.

Not only did it require a lot of resources, but the process was often long and grueling. There were often times when a cultivator would be able to finish an entire realm of spirit Qi cultivation and not be able to cross even a single stage of the Spirit Qi cultivation.

Lin Wu had even asked the system if he could cultivate the Five Treasure realm but was given a straight no. This wasn't because it would be difficult, but rather because Lin Wu simply did not have a body that was compatible with it.

The five Treasures realm was mostly oriented towards humans and other humanoid beings that had a similar organ configuration like them. Since the five treasures realm correlated with the five organs, liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys according to the elements they represented; a person not having those would effectively render it impossible for them to practice that path.

Lin Wu had even inquired about the Body Tempering realm and its thirteen stages. But then got the answer that when the system rebuilt his body, it was made to the best of its capabilities.

In a way, the body Lin Wu had was far more capable than say a cultivator that had reached the Thirteenth stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

Another thing that Lin Wu had that others didn't have were the bottlenecks. Lin Wu would not be hampered by the bottlenecks and would be able to continue cultivating without a problem due to a system manufactured body.

In simple words, Lin Wu simply had a massive advantage as compared to others. This is also why he was not dissatisfied with being unable to practice the five treasures realm and was content with his progress.

After all, it had only been a little over three years since he had come to this world and he was already at the Nascent Soul realm. This was something that took people hundreds of years to reach, if not decades.

But Lin Wu also knew that this was something that would not be possible in the latter stages. The system could only carry him in the stages which involved pure resources such as spirit Qi.

When it would come to stages that required his own comprehension and learning, Lin Wu would have to accomplish that on his own.

While Lin Wu was thinking all this, Senior Kong and his disciples had finally finished their little lesson.

"What are your plans now, Minister Qi You?" Senior Kong asked.

Qi You had been sitting silently while Senior Kong taught his disciples, letting him finish first.

"There isn't much we can do if the ones involved are the Dao Treading realm beasts. The case with the Dread Coil Marsh burning is fine, since we did not care much for that filthy place anyway.

But the Jiao Dian city being burned to the ground is not something the Bing Kingdom can let go of easily. I'll need to talk with the king and see what decision he truly makes. Though I'm sure that it will involve further investigation into which beast it really was.

We will also be monitoring the Dread coil Marsh and seeing if any beast leaves on our end. I hope that senior Kong can do the same on his end." Minister Qi You replied.

"I see… keeping an eye will not be a problem. But I'll warn you Qi You, if it really is an old Dao Treading realm beast like we suspect, we might be biting more than what we can chew.

You should also investigate the people of the Jiao Dian city in detail. I doubt a Dao Treading realm beast would attack without any provocation… if it was that same Dao Treading realm beast in the first place, seeing that you think it might be a Dao Shell realm beast instead." Senior Kong spoke.

Hearing his words, Qi You nodded his head in response.

"That is what I am intending to do as well. Perhaps it might be the time that Senior Kong comes out to the public once more and takes care of the Ivory Heron Dynasty in the open. This is a sensitive time and what happened with the Jiao Dian city might happen here too." Minister Qi You said with concern.

"I'll keep that in mind." Senior Kong stated.

With their conversation done, Minister Qi You stood up.

"I'll take my leave now, Senior Kong. I hope that our kingdoms can continue to cooperate in times such as these." Minister Qi You stated before flying away.

Senior Kong watched on in the distance as Qi You flew away and sighed to himself.

~Sigh~

"Youngsters… always so restless…" Senior Kong muttered to himself before returning to his room and sealing the entire abode.

"Looks like my work here is done. I should follow after that other guy and see how he actually reached here so fast…" Lin Wu said to himself before he left the mountain.

He continued to follow the minister while underground and saw that he was now heading to the south.

"Oh boy… this will turn into a long journey, won't it?" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

But just as he was preparing to take a long detour from his return to the Millennium forest, he saw something that stunned him.

"Huh? A teleportation talisman?" Lin Wu said in surprise.

Lin Wu saw Qi You taking out a talisman which then shined and took him away.

Report chapter

Lucius looked around on the map but could not see Qi You anywhere.

"Huh… so he had a teleportation talisman. No wonder he was able to cover such as long distance so quickly, he and his kingdom have a fixed location teleportation talisman…" Lin Wu understood.

"System, check if the man is anywhere just in case?" Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

SCANNER: ACTIVATED

SCAN COMPLETED: Target not found

~Sigh~

"So he really did travel quite far. Well… I guess I can just let it be for now since it doesn't really cause me any problems." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

'At least I got to learn of the situation of the kingdoms a bit more and even who has Dao Shell realm cultivators. Plus I got to know of how the cultivators of these places teach about the Dao Treading realm.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

He turned around and made his way to the small lake where he had hidden the platform. The lake was just slightly bigger than the platform and managed to accommodate it completely. Though it wasn't as if the platform was too deep in the lake either.

Due to the sides of the lake being shallower than the middle, the platform inadvertence stayed close to the surface of the water due to being prevented from going any deeper. Right now, the platform was not directly visible from the outside, but if one got closer to the lake and looked into the water, they would find the flat platform just at a two meter depth.

Still, to Lin Wu, this didn't really matter as it was far unlikely for anyone to find it. And even if they did there was little they could honestly do with the platform. Its main purpose which was to take the inheritor of the Vermillion bird to different sites was already fulfilled.

Originally this platform was not even supposed to leave its intended paths. It was only able to move on those paths because of the invisible spirit Qi channels that had been set up. These were hidden to most people and would not even be sensed by a formation master.

The spirit Qi was kept at a frequency that only the platform could sense and it would then absorb that while traveling. It was similar to how there were power lines at the top of a train from which it absorbed electricity to run the engine.

But Lin Wu here had modified that with the help of the system to make it so that the platform could operate independently without the need of those channels. There were already spirit Qi absorbing formations on it, which the system modified to take spirit Qi from the air.

This way the platform had changed from a train that could only move on a specific path to an aircraft that could go anywhere as long as it got fuel. Of course, the efficiency was far lower in the case of the platform since it did not have the concentrated supply like before.

Though this was something that could be changed later on since the only change that happened due to that was the lowered speed. No longer could the platform move at sub-sonic speeds.

In fact, its speed was actually a bit slower than Lin Wu's full flying speed. But the platform was still something Lin Wu wanted to keep as it was just too cool and could come in handy later.

~shua~

~drip~drip~drip~

The sound of water parting was heard as the platform started to rise up from the lake. The water on it slid off and dripped from the side as the sound of a waterfall was created temporarily.

~THUD~

Lin Wu jumped onto the platform and let it rise up into the sky. A few beasts that were nearby were startled but it caused no problem for Lin Wu. Once the platform reached the maximum height it could for now, which was just slightly more than two hundred meters, it started to move.

~shua~

The platform sped through the sky and started moving towards the east.

"Hmm… at this speed I should reach the Ling Kingdom in less than a month and the forest a couple of days after that." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

He checked the map and zoomed out to see the distance which was of several thousand kilometers. The Ling kingdom was on the eastern side of the continent, while the Ivory Heron kingdom was on the western side.

'I guess I can just cultivate here while the system carries me there.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"No wait, I may as well just switch to my main body and let this wine cultivate on autopilot." Lin Wu decided.

With that done, he gave the system some instructions on how to travel. He wanted the system to avoid the main populated areas so that the platform would not be seen. The platform originally had an illusory formation that could hide it completely but the Skull god had damaged that as well.

Plus the spirit Qi needed to run all of those formation arrays at once was far higher than what the platform could absorb right now. Thus Lin Wu had no choice but to take a detour.

He could technically just store the platform in the storage of the system and travel on his own, but that would mean that he would have to actively travel there. This would end up wasting some time which Lin Wu reckoned he could use much better.

The trade-off was obvious. On one side he would reach the millennium forest in what would be perhaps less than fifteen days, but this would leave him exhausted and tired when he reached the forest.

And on the second side, he could use the platform to travel which would use up no spirit Qi of his own and even give him time to cultivate. By the time he would reach the millennium forest, Lin Wu would be even more stronger than he was right now.

Report chapter

With the choice of travel made, Lin Wu let the system handle the navigation of the platform and switched his bodies. He closed his eyes and his consciousness faded from the avatar before reaching the main body.

"Mmmhmm…." Lin Wu hummed in pleasure as he opened his eyes.

The reason he did so was because of the increase in power he suddenly felt.

"Looks like I had some extra gains…" Lin Wu muttered as he checked his main body.

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

Seeing the increased spirit Qi that he now had Lin Wu was pleased.

"Perfect, I'm close to the next stage finally!" Lin Wu said with excitement.

At first, he had thought that he would go and fight the Olive Viper king when he came back right away. But now seeing that he was close to a breakthrough, Lin Wu decided to complete that first.

"Hmm… I'll reach the Adult Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm first and also upgrade a few more things before finally heading there. Though… I can also wait for my avatar to return so that I have an extra backup.

Plus if push really comes to shove, I can merge both of my bodies to increase the power even more." Lin Wu said to himself.

After a few more minutes of thinking, he decided that he would just cultivate for the time being and let the spirit Qi increase. And just as he was about to enter a cultivation session again, he was suddenly reminded of something.

"Hang on, don't I have beast corpses ready for me or something?" Lin Wu recalled.

He quickly switched through the monitoring screens and found the screen that showed the situation of the storage area of the Taiji Celestial's tomb. This was the area that Lin Wu had designated for storage and whenever the insect beasts placed anything at the, it would be automatically moved into the storage area.

"Perfect! This should be just enough for me to break through… hopefully." Lin Wu exclaimed.

"System, bring all of the beast corpses here." Lin Wu ordered.

'Hopefully, they have enough spirit Qi left in them even after this entire time.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

~SHUA~

With Lin Wu's order runes appeared in the air as a teleportation formation was activated. Then in the next moment, a mountain of corpses appeared in front of him.

"Dang… this is far more than I had through." Lin Wu muttered to himself seeing the hundreds of beast corpses in it.

Although most of them were Qi refining realm beasts or weaker, it was still enough for Lin Wu as the numbers should be enough to make up for their quality.

"Well then… dinner time." Lin Wu said before opening his mouth wide and starting to eat all of the corpses.

It took him about half an hour to finish all of the beast corpses and during this time there were multiple notifications that popped up in front of him. These were all notifications for spirit Qi increase and he just muted them till he was done eating since there would be more of them coming.

Once he was done though he sprawled on the ground.

"Ahh! That hits the spot…" Lin Wu said out loud.

He rested for a few minutes before getting up again.

"System show me the increased spirit Qi." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

SPIRIT QI OBTAINED: 148,941 units [liquid spirit qi]

"Ah, I almost forgot that eating adds spirit Qi to the system's storage… well in that way I already had enough I guess. All this cultivating is really making me forget things. Perhaps I really do need to relax for a few days and chill.

A vacation after and adventure… sounds nice." Lin Wu said to himself.

Having said this, he quickly got to upgrading the cultivation base.

"System, strafer spirit Qi from storage to my body and upgrade my cultivation base." Lin Wu ordered.

Lin Wu felt the spirit Qi stirring within his body as all of it rushed towards his Dantian. Once it appeared in his Dantian, it was quickly sucked in by the Crimson eyed emerald worm's Nascent soul which then started to grow.

Lin Wu watched on as the Nascent Soul more than tripled in size.
