Wang Xiong looked at the finger sized jade and assessed it. His spirit sense probed it and could feel that there were no formations within it.
"Huh… this is interesting… it's just a material with no formations in it." Wang Xiong spoke.
"They called this an Agitation jade in the letter, wonder what it exactly does." Ye Jin said.
"The words in the letter explain that too… it is used to agitate the beasts." Wang Xiong spoke.
"Like the beast inciting power?" Ye Jin asked in surprise.
They had used the beast inciting power before, even though it was illegal and knew of its effects.. Beasts would go crazy and attack anything in their sight if they were angry enough.
"Can't really tell. But if the attack of the beast is considered anything, it is likely that it has a similar effect. Though… the thing that bugs me is the fact that this is just one of the seven agitation jades.
I reckon the others must be hidden somewhere in the mind." Wang Xiong said.
Hearing this, Ye Jin's eyes lit up.
"THAT'S IT! That's the reason for the beast attacking everyone. No wonder we weren't able to find the cause for it." Ye Jin spoke.
"Indeed. Though what beast it is even that can do something like this?" Wang Xiong questioned.
"From the reports, it is a quadrupedal beast and has dark fur on its body. It is good at digging through rock as well." Ye Jing answered.
"Hmm… a beast like that must have come from somewhere. Or perhaps it was always living there… just somewhere hidden." Wang Xiong added.
"That… could be possible. Some of the minors did report finding some random tunnels, but they were unable to determine if they were natural ones or not. This beast could have been the reason behind it.
Plus if the Agitation jade is what caused this attack, then the beast must have been pulled out due to its effects." Ye Jin spoke in a tired tone.
"Ask the disciples to look for the other agitation jades. Perhaps once they are gone, the beast should leave on its own. And if it does not, we may as well take care of it directly." Wang Xiong stated.
"Alright, I'll do it." Ye Jin spoke.
She was just about to leave when Wang Xiong spoke, "oh and Ye Jin…"
"Yes?" She turned her neck.
"Be careful… we are in a sensitive transition period. Who knows what can happen." Wang Xiong said with concern.
Ye Jin felt touched by the attitude of Wang Xiong and a smile appeared on her face again.
"I'll be careful." She said before finally leaving.
Once she was gone though, Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes and looked at the agitation jade.
"Time to talk with master…" Wang Xiong muttered before he took out a communication slip.
The jade slip was different from others in that it looked more like an emerald rather than just normal jade. This was of course, the one that Lin Wu had giving Wang Xiong a long time ago.
Lin Wu had told him that he could contact him whenever he came across something that he could not deal with, and this situation was the perfect example of that. Wang Xiong didn't know what an agitation jade could truly do and it was best to contact a more informed person.
But then…
"Huh? Why is he not responding?" Wang Xiong said in a confused tone.
No matter how much he tried the jade slip, it simply did not work.
"No, wait! What's this?" Wang Xiong suddenly realized that there was actually a message within the jade slip.
"Was there here before?" Wang Xiong wondered.
He accessed it using his spirit sense and heard the message within.
"If you are seeing this, then I am currently in seclusion and cannot be disturbed. I also know that you must have contacted me in case of an emergency. Thus for that, I have some options that you can choose in my absence.
Option 1: If you are in immediate danger and are at the risk of death, tap your forehead and call out 'Save me, senior!'
Option 2: If you are not in immediate danger but maybe in soon, I advise you to come to the Millennium forest and hide within the tomb. It will recognize you all provide you shelter. You may bring 10 more people with you.
Option 3: If you are desiring to ask a certain question, please limit it to three a week. There is no guarantee the question will be answered though, so be warned."
Seeing this, Wang Xiong was definitely stunned.
"Senior entered seclusion? Huh… well, it does make sense if he wants to recover his cultivation base. Though these options are certainly well thought out. Senior really kept me in mind when going into seclusion." Wang Xiong said, feeling pleased.
'Hmm, I'm supposed to ask it the question just like I do I guess?' Wang Xiong wondered.
After thinking for a bit, he tried a few methods of framing the question, making sure that he got the best one. Even though he only had three attempts at asking it every week, he wanted to be a proper one as he didn't want to waste a chance.
"This should be good enough…" Wang Xiong said before taking a deep breath.
"What is agitation jade and what are its effects?" Wang Xiong questioned in a rather simple manner.
As soon as he said it, the jade slip hummed, and he felt a drain on his spirit Qi.
"Oh?" He was rather surprised by it, but let it absorb the spirit Qi, understanding that there must be some price to pay for the transmission.
Though he ended up underestimating the amount of spirit Qi needed by the jade slip.
~drip~
"Damn… didn't expect it to suck me dry." Wang Xiong said in disbelief.
All of the spirit Qi he had recovered in the past few minutes had been absorbed by the jade slip.
Report chapter
Once the spirit Qi was absorbed by the jade slip, it glowed in a green light and continued to do so. It stayed like this for about three minutes, after which, Wang Xiong felt a transmission arriving.
"Oh? Is it finally here?" Wang Xiong said.
He checked the message and felt information pouring into his head.
"Ah!" he winced in pain.
The information pouring into his head was rather quick and harsh, thus gave him a headache. This was of course, accomplished by the backdrop that Lin Wu had placed on the man and thus it assisted in the transmission of information more efficiently.
After about five minutes, Wang Xiong could feel the pain fading away and what replaced it was the information that he needed.
——
.
Agitation jade: They are a special kind of jade made by combining normal jade with befuddling mind flower, Demesne Blood Cobra venom, and Vitrine Gourd water. After the Normal jade is steeped in a mixture of these substances for about a year, it will be converted to Agitating jade.
These let out waves of energy that were imperceptible to humans and only affect beasts. The beasts that come within the range of it will turn hostile and start attacking others. The effects of the Agitation jade are transient.
The effects will fade from time to time and stronger beasts may need exposure from more than just one Agitation jade to show any changes in behavior. There is also a secondary effect of the Agitation jade, which increases the strength of the beasts that come in contact with it.
——
Seeing the information sent by Lin Wu, Wang Xiong was shocked.
"Never thought I would see something like this…" Wang Xiong muttered to himself in surprise.
The materials need to make the Agitation jade were unfamiliar to him as well.
"Hmm, I know about the Befuddling Mind flower. Even the sect has a couple, I think. But the Demesne Blood Cobra Venom and Vitrine Gourd Water are two things I've never heard of." Wang Xiong said to himself.
He gazed at the Agitation jade for about five more minutes before thinking of something.
'If I want to find the culprits behind this, these ingredients could be the key. After all, these aren't easy to find ingredients… otherwise, I would have known about them already." Wang Xiong stated.
He thus put the Agitation jade in his spatial storage ring and walked out of his room. His destination was none other than the sect's grand library. If there was anything he was to find, it would be there.
It took him about twenty minutes to fly there as he kept on getting interrupted by other disciples, who stopped to greet him or bid him farewell. Wang Xiong couldn't really deny them the honor either as that was one of his duties already.
Upon reaching the Library, he simply flashed his identity token at the formation array and it let him inside. Once inside it. Wang Xiong made his way around the entire floor; his aim, information about beast materials.
If took him thirty minutes to sort through the books that were related to beast materials and he could not find anything about the Demesne Blood cobra.
"Hmm… I guess I'll try to search for the gourd in the herb section." Wang Xiong said as he switched his target.
This time, it took him over an hour to find the right book, but he truly did find out about it.
"Here it is, Vitrine Gourd Water…" Wang Xiong recited.
'Vitrine Gourd Water is the fluid obtained from the hollow interiors of Vitrine Gourds. These grow in the cold hills of the north and are a high grade spirit herb.'
"Huh, no wonder there are none of them here, they simply do not grow here." Wang Xiong muttered to himself.
Wang Xiong looked up more information and saw that it could be used in several different kinds of alchemical pills, but was mostly used as a catalyzing agent. He noted this in his mind and reckoned that whoever was behind it might have access from the north.
"This is not enough… even if this is something that can be found in the north, there is still a chance that someone else has obtained this from either a merchant or obtained it themselves before returning." Wang Xiong muttered to himself.
He knew that this information was not enough and thus he went to the next floor. He got the entry rather easily due to his identity token. There were also a lot more people here on the second floor.
The disciples took note of who had just appeared and were even curious about his reason for arrival. Wang Xiong paid no attention to them and focused on the task at hand. Thankfully, the disciples followed a mode of decorum and knew that it was very rude to disturb someone reading in the library.
Not to mention when they were of a high ranking identity such as that of Wang Xiong right now. The man had defeated multiple nascent soul realm elders when he broke through and the gossip of his feats was recited often.
Wang Xiong spent another hour searching here for information, but didn't really find anything that was useful for him.
"Hmm… it's not here either. Perhaps the next floor has it." Wang Xiong muttered to himself.
He made his way to the stairwell of the next floor under the observation of the others.
"Look! Senior Wang Xiong is heading to the third floor." Someone pointed out.
"Huh? The third floor? Isn't that only for the elders?" One of the junior disciples questioned.
~slap~
"You Dumbo," The junior disciple's companion slapped the back of his head upon hearing this friend say things like this.
"Senior Wang Xiong is the chief disciple of the sect, his status is the same as that of the elders right now and he can go wherever he wants to in the sect." The companion of the Junior disciple chided.
Report chapter
Paying no attention to the chatter of the disciples, Wang Xiong entered the third floor. The third floor was significantly smaller than the second floor and there were fewer people as well.
At least unlike the first floor, which only had a few servants cleaning things, there were still more people here. The only difference was that the people here were the elders of the sect.
The Nascent soul realm cultivation bases could be felt clearly as well. A couple of them that were sitting near the staircase heard the footsteps and looked towards it.
"Ah, so it's Chief Disciple Wang Xiong." One of the elders said.
"Greetings, elders." Wang Xiong gave a customary greeting.
.
Right now the elders were split into multiple camps but the biggest ones were none other than the one below the Patriarch which Wang Xiong belonged to as well and the second one being the camp which had the elders of the disciplinary Hall.
While they had made it seem that the camp was disbanded, the elders had simply changed their alliances on the surface and joined other camps. Wang Xiong and the patriarch knew very well that these people could not be trusted yet.
There was a chance that they would still conspire in the hiding and take advantage when they had dropped their guard. Wang Xiong already had a reminder in the form of the spy who had been killed.
The letter in the box that he carried and even the box itself were more than enough to serve as a warning for him. He would definitely not trust these elders that showed a kind front, knowing just what kind a person was hidden underneath.
'If it were not for the elders allowing it, would the core disciples Niu San ever act so freely?' Wang Xiong thought to himself.
He did a simply cordial greeting and headed to the shelf he wanted to go to. It didn't take him long to find the information he desired. The other elders that were on the floor also noticed him and they greeted him if he came close to them as well.
Though the ones that were in the distance didn't bother to do the same and kept doing whatever they were doing. Wang Xiong preferred this too and was rather favorable towards the neutral camp as well.
'At least they don't need to put up a fake front…' Wang Xiong thought to himself.
He then focused back on the task at hand and opened the book that recorded the information about the herbs.
"Here it is… Vitrine Gourd." Wang Xiong muttered.
The information written about the gourd was similar to what he had read on the floor below, but the difference was that it also mentioned the place from where the Vitrine gourd's could be procured.
"The main producer of Vitrine Gourds is… North Mist Herb Pavilions?" Wang Xiong read finding it to be a bit familiar.
'Where have I heard this name before?' Wang Xiong wondered.
He put the book back and tried to look for the second ingredient that he wanted to learn about, the Demesne Blood Cobra Venom. Wang Xiong knew that this belonged to the beast section and went there.
After about half an hour he found the book he wanted there as well.
"Huh? What the hell?" Upon reading the information, Wang Xiong was shocked.
——
Demesne Blood Cobra is one of the dangerous beasts that were exterminated over five hundred years ago. Since their venom was used greatly by many unorthodox sects and also assassins, they were a big hazard.
Their venom was something that had no other use other than being harmful and thus it was considered a proper beast for extinction. These beasts lived chiefly in the Green Dappled Woods in large nests.
Three hundred and ninety four such nests were destroyed back then. Any such beasts that are still in existence have either been bred illegally or privately by different cultivators.
——
Having read the information, Wang Xiong didn't know what to make of it. It was evident that the beast in questioned didn't even exist for a long time in the wild.
'Perhaps there may still be a few, but finding them does not seem like an option the normal person would take. Selling them on the market would also be impossible, as an outlawed beast or toxin like this would not be allowed by the different alchemy guilds either.
Which means… this definitely came from a private owner.' Wang Xiong thought to himself.
Though once thing that caught his eye was that both the ingredients, the Vitrine Gourd and the Demesne Blood cobra, were found in the north.
"The chances of this being someone from the north make the most sense now… though who would even support the elders here? What do they really want with the sect?" Wang Xiong muttered to himself.
Wang Xiong spent some more time searching for information on the powers that could potentially afford this. The Befuddling Mind flower was relatively easy to get even if it was expensive and the Vitrine Gourd was similar to that.
The only thing differentiating was the Demesne Blood Cobra venom.
'Hmm… if the source of the venom could be found, it should give us the possible suspects.' Wang Xiong thought to himself.
He soon found more information on it and realized that there was a link between the powers of the north. There were three powers that had the potential to have the ingredients needed to make the Agitation jade.
The three powers that he learned of were the Huanshan Sect, and two clans, the Lian clan, and the Ji clan. Of the three potential suspects, the Huanshan sect was a mid tier sect that had only recently reached its rank.
Till about six years ago, they were merely a low tier sect and didn't really have a history that long either. They have existed for less than a hundred years. But the two clans that he saw were nothing simple.
——
Learning that two of the top three clans in the Long continent might be the suspects behind this, Wang Xiong was stunned. Even if they really weren't behind this, Wang Xiong was reminded of the power that these clans held.
"Hmm… I can exclude the Huanshan sect from this. They are far too weak to attempt this and the elders of our sect are already strong enough to be the sect master of that sect. They can't afford that many resources either." Wang Xiong muttered to himself.
Finally, his mind went to the two clans. The Ji clan was the second ranked clan in the entire long continent and their power was well known. Their members were in several sects and some were even owned by the Ji clan covertly.
The Ji clan kept their influence hidden most of the time, but the sects and kingdoms could feel their might when it was truly needed. The Lian clan on the other hand, was more open and was a business clan.
They had ownerships of various guilds, shops, herb farms, and even many mines. They were well known for pursuing profits and it wouldn't be wrong to call them a merchant clan, either.
But it was not that they were weak either, there was a reason why they were third ranked clan in the long continent. They were said to have plenty of cultivators among their ranks and they were rather large in number too, having tens if not hundreds of descendants.
This was one of the differences between the Ji clan and the Lian clan. In terms of clan members, the Ji clan pursued quality, nurturing a handful of members to reach the apex. While the Lian clan pursued quantity, looking to overwhelm the competition with numbers.
Both were valid options, but it was still the Ji clan that was at the top despite this all. Wang Xiong was at an impasse here as he was unable to guess which of these clans could be potentially behind this.
~Sigh~
"I need to think over this more and gather more information I suppose.." Wang Xiong muttered to himself.
He left the building, and a couple of elders noticed his expression when he was just about to leave. Once he was gone, the elders spoke among's themselves.
"What do you think, Elder Gen? Why is the 'chef disciple' so lost?"
"What can it be? He came here and had that expression while leaving. It's obvious that he was unable to find what he wanted to." Elder Gen spoke.
"Oh? I wonder what is it that he was looking for such that it can't be found in our library. We even update it with the new information when it arrives." The second elder replied.
Hearing this, Elder Gen raised his brows.
"And why do you have such interest in what Chief disciple does, Elder Hai?" Elder Gen questioned.
Elder Hai looked around in response to this question and ensured that there was no one else around.
"Don't you know? There is a certain reward going around about things related to the new chief disciple?" Elder Hai answered.
Elder Gen furrowed his brows upon hearing this and replied, "don't tell me you are in their camp too… Elder Hai."
"No, no, no! I don't mean in that manner. You must know that Wang Xiong became the chief disciple in a rather domineering manner. Many disciples and even other elders want to know how he accomplished this.
Plus, there are also disciples that wish to find ways to please the chief disciple to raise their own positions. After all, it is quite likely that he would become the sect patriarch if things really go as they are right now." Elder Hai explained hurriedly, fearing that his words might be taken the wrong way.
"Hmm… you should be careful Elder Hai… besides we both are junior elders. These are matters related to the disciples and senior elders. We should not be concerned with it. Instead if would be better fie you just focus on your own cultivation and teaching instead." Elder Gen said in a stern voice.
"I understand Elder Gen," Elder Hai said.
"As long as you know…" Elder Gen said before taking his leave as well.
What he didn't see was that elder Hai's eyes narrowed and he looked at him with a gaze of enmity.
"Another one to be taken off the list…" Elder Hai muttered to himself.
He then took out a communication jade slip for and held it in his hand for a few seconds before putting it away. What messages were sent and to whom it was sent was a mystery.
Wang Xiong was on his way back to his residence, which was one of the courtyards on the main peaks of the sect, when he saw a few disciples coming towards him. He narrowed his eyes but recognized them to be familiar.
"Greetings, Senior Brother." They all greeted.
These were the inner court disciples and were acquainted with Wang Xiong. They had cheered on when Wang Xiong had won last time too, as they too were oppressed by Niu San and his companion.
"Greetings, juniors. How are you here today?" He asked, feeling curious.
The area he was in was rather in the secluded part of the peak and few people came here. The only ones who did were either those that were coming for him or ones that were going to meet the elders.
These disciples didn't seem to be the ones that would have the authority to meet the elders directly, thus Wang Xiong thought that they must be here for him. Still… not to assume it he asked the question.
The disciples looked at each other for a second before looking at Wang Xiong with a serious look.
"Senior, we bring you some news." One of the disciples that was in the lead spoke.
"Oh? What kind of news?" Wang Xiong questioned.
"It's related to the discipline hall… they are looking for information related to you and recruiting people." Hearing this, Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes.
Report chapter
Wang Xiong had obviously known that there were many people displeased with his rise to the position of the chief disciple. But now that there were people openly looking for him, he couldn't help but get concerned.
"Hmm… let's talk at my residence. This is not the right place." Wang Xiong spoke.
"Indeed, senior brother." The disciples said.
.
Wang Xiong looked at them and noted their appearances. All five of them were familiar to him and he had talked with them before. Thus, he had few reasons to doubt them as of now.
Plus, taking them to the residence had two benefits. First, it would provide him with privacy and second, there were formations arrays there that could help him fight back, if a battle ever happened and these five were actually the enemy.
Wang Xiong couldn't bring himself to fully believe anyone as he had seen many elders who he had thought to be nice before change their stances just the way a chameleon changed its colors.
~shua~
The six of them landed in the residences and the five junior disciples got to see the best residence that the sect had to offer. The residences of the other high elders and even the sect patriarchs were similar to this.
"Whoa!" some of the juniors exclaimed as they felt the concentrated spirit Qi in the air.
It was even denser than the rest of the sect and once could only imagine the benefits it would bring to their cultivation. They basked in it for a bit and Wang Xiong let them take their time. After all, he was doing something else in secret as well.
A few formation runes glowed in his hand that was behind his back, as he controlled the formation arrays of the residence. He had intentionally increased the output of the spirit Qi so as to distract the disciples while he tested them.
An analytical and scanning formation covertly activated and scanned the junior disciple. Wang Xiong kept a calm face outwardly, but internally he was ready if a fight were to break out right now.
Since the disciples were busy absorbing a large amount of spirit Qi, they did not notice the probes of the formation array that had merged in with the spirit Qi. These entered their meridians and Dantian, before sending back the necessary repose to Wang Xiong.
"Hmm… they are normal. No signs of being controlled or anything else." He muttered to himself.
He then waved his hand and returned the formations to their neutral state. The disciples also came to their senses and felt a bit embarrassed. They looked at Wang Xiong, who did not seem to mind their rudeness and instantly felt better.
"So what is it that you wanted to tell me exactly?" Wang Xiong questioned while taking a seat at the stone patio table.
The junior disciple who had spoken the first time walked forward and took a deep breath before speaking.
"We overheard a few disciples talking that there are people willing to pay a good price for any information related to you, senior brother." He spoke.
"Oh? And I'm guessing they already know some things?" Wang Xiong questioned.
"You are right, senior brother." He agreed. "They were looking into your breakthrough and spent quite a lot in figuring out how it was possible. They managed to find out that before your breakthrough, you had gone out of the sect." He answered.
"Hmm… that isn't really any secret information. It is in the sect records as well." Wang Xiong said, finding it to be relatively normal.
"That's not all senior… they know that you went to the Millennium forest, and that you had a fortunate encounter there. Some of them searched the sect records and figured out that you may have found an ancient tomb that was located there." The second junior disciple explained.
Hearing this, Wang Xiong was now concerned. According to the official sect records, he had gone to the Millennium Forest for hunting down spirit beast and bringing back their materials.
It was one of the most common jobs that were always available in the sect and the only difference was that some were in different locations. Millennium forest was of course a bit far from the Frozen cloud sect, but Wang Xiong going there could be attributed to him choosing a place with less competition.
Plus he had gone there in a team, thus there should have been other accounts of this as well. Of the team, only he had gained the most, and the others were pretty much the same when they came back.
Only when Wang Xiong had become the chief disciple had he gained enough power and resources that he could also give his companions some so that they could get stronger as well.
For others to find out that he did something else there and even discovering about the tomb was really unexpected for him.
'Did I remove the records from the old library? How did they still find out about it?' Wang Xiong couldn't help but wonder.
Lin Wu was actually the one who had suggested to him that he should not let the others find out more about the Tomb. After all, to Wang Xiong, the threat of the Shadow calamity was legitimate and he didn't know where it could strike from.
He had already heard how it could corrupt others and change things. He had even encountered the beasts in the trials and knew just how terrifying they could get. Plus, with Lin Wu in seclusion, he did not know if the shadow calamity might strike or not.
"Hmm… so they found that out? And what are they intending to do with that information?" Wang Xiong questioned.
"We've heard different things, but most of them involve going to the Millennium forest themselves to learn about it. They think that even if they don't find that fortunate encounter, they might still be able to trace senior brother Wang Xiong's steps and find the sources.
Even that information is valuable and many are willing to pay a good price for that." The first junior disciple explained.
Report chapter
Wang Xiong pondered on the matter for a bit before finally speaking again.
"I understand now," Wang Xiong replied and thought for a bit.
"Very well… can you do something for me?" Wang Xiong asked them.
"Of course, senior!" They replied hurriedly.
"I want you to sell information about me." Wang Xiong stated.
"Huh? WHAT?!" They were shocked to hear and didn't know why Wang Xiong would ask something like this of them.
"Senior, we can't do that! We won't betray you." The second junior disciples said quickly..
"No, no… you won't be betraying me. If anything, you will be helping me." Wang Xiong stated.
"Helping you? How?" They asked.
"Now listen carefully…" Wang Xiong said before starting to explain to them what he wanted them to do.
Wang Xiong was basically trying to bait all the people who were going after him. He wanted to see how many were truly snakes and fishermen waiting for the right time. He even wanted to see if some elder would be tempted enough to leave the sect for that.
The one thing that Wang Xiong lacked right now was the fact that he was in a state of uncertainty when it came to the people of the sect. There were very few that he could truly trust and it could be said to be the same for even the patriarch.
Despite being strong, his position had become compromised in the recent years. His seclusion earlier had not helped with it at all, and several elders had gotten ambitious enough to start their own plans.
They wanted to make use of the sect to gain more resources and assets for themselves. Overall, it went against the guidelines and tenets of the sect, and thus it could be punished. But this very situation could be flipped very easily and the elders could avoid suspicion by simply giving whatever they were caught with to the sect and say that it was for the sect's benefit.
If it were up to Wang Xiong and the patriarch, they would have simply killed such individuals, but doing that in a sect like that was not possible. After all, if they really killed the elders, even the neutral elders would get agitated.
This may cause more troubles and perhaps, even get the enter sect to rebel against them. One must know, the human psyche was such that it proffered being in groups. Thus, whatever the mob mentality was, many liked to follow it.
Thus they needed to tread on a fine line and deal with all the matters a bit more pragmatically. After all, the threat wasn't just from within the sect, but outside too. There was no lack of cultivation sects looking for a piece of the pie.
And whenever a sect was under internal conflict, the ones happiest were pragmatics and the ones on the outside. The former were often the cause of the conflict, while the latter benefited from the wakening of the sect.
As long as Wang Xiong had enough proof, and it was presented to the patriarch, he would be able to take concrete action against those that were looking to sow chaos or betray the sect. But until then, they needed to bide their time and do their tasks.
If Lin Wu was here and had the same power as the patriarch though, he might have taken the direct approach. After all, Lin Wu didn't need to get acquainted with all the elders and walk on eggshells around them.
He could rule them with an iron fist… or rather, a crystal tail.
It took Wang Xiong about half an hour to explain of what he wanted the junior disciples to sell. He ensured to add a few pieces of spice to make the story more catchy yet believable. After he was done, the five junior disciples looked at each other with strange expressions.
They then turned to Wang Xiong and asked, "Is this really fine, senior?" one of them asked.
"Yes, do it as I say. Oh, and don't forget to get your rewards too… I want to check something." Wang Xiong answered.
"Very well, senior brother Wang Xiong. We shall do as you asked." The five disciples said.
"Good, take this and you can leave then." Wang Xiong said as he tossed five pill bottles to them.
Seeing the pills in the bottles, the five junior disciples were pleased.
"Thank you senior, we shall not forget this." The first one said before taking his leaves.
The others joined behind them, and soon the courtyard was empty. Once they were gone though, Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes and spoke, "I reckon you heard everything?"
"I did indeed," A man's voice could be heard coming from one of the statues in the garden.
After the voice came, the statue turned into fog and a man clothed in pure white clothes appeared. He was covered from head to toe in white clothes and even on his face there was a white fox mask.
"So what do you think?" Wang Xiong questioned the man.
"Hmm… disciple Wang Xiong has certainly played his cards right. Though I do not trust those disciples to do this properly. After all, they are against elders who have been alive for several centuries." The white clothes man answered. "Besides, the elders are unlikely to fall for such obvious tricks." He added.
"I know… and I want them to know that this is a trick." Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"Oho? The chief disciple is already learning to play the games of bureaucracy?" the White clothed man asked.
"So what if I do want that… there are few ways to reach the point I want to. Only those at the peak can go ahead using pure cultivation base. For the rest, other such methods are the only blade they have." Wang Xiong replied.
The man went silent for a minute after hearing it, but then nodded his head.
"I see, but what will you do if it goes wrong?" The man asked.
"Well, don't I have you for that, Guardian Yun?" Wang Xiong asked with a smirk.
Report chapter
The man named Guardian Yun looked at Wang Xiong without speaking anything. He had a mask on his face, thus there was no chance of seeing his appearance anyway. Wang Xiong simply hoped that his words had managed to incite the man.
"Hmm… I guess we'll see Chief disciple Wang Xiong. While I am the guardian, I have no responsibility to ensure all your works go well. At most I'll ensure that they are protected against greater threats." Guardian Yun stated perfunctorily.
"That will be enough. Just having the assurance that some hidden power won't act is good for me." Wang Xiong stated.
The fox masked man nodded his head and disappeared into a mass of fog. Once he was gone, Wang Xiong furrowed his brows and spread his spirit sense around.. Only after he was sure that there was no longer anyone in the area did he take a breath of relief.
"Who would have thought the sect would be hiding a secret like this… no wonder Patriarch doesn't have time to deal with other things." Wang Xiong muttered to himself.
He then returned to his room and continued to go through the documents that were yet to be done reading. The rest of Wang Xiong's time was spent in either cultivation or practicing his skills.
Occasionally he would get some messages on his communication jade slip, but they were mostly updates about how the plans were going. The ones messaging him were either Ye Jin or others that were working under him.
Just like this, about two weeks passed. At this point, several rumors had already spread in the sect about Wang Xiong's fortune and about an ancient tomb that existed within the millennium forest.
It had even reached a point where a mission was also put up in the mission hall about the tomb. Since the matter had now become mainstream, the sect elders had decided to do research on their own and went through several old documents.
They did find some information about the tomb, but most of it was either incomplete or written in a cryptic manner. And none of them mentioned the actual location of the tomb. Only the records that Wang Xiong had found a long time ago were the ones with that information.
On this day, Ye Jin came to Wang Xiong to speak about it.
"Is this all fine? Won't it cause problems for us?" Ye Jin questioned.
"Hmm, it may do that, but in the long term, we will know who our adversaries are. Plus, I don't think they know just what level of danger they are gonna face there in the forest. Even with the help of the Beast inciting powder distracting beasts, it was quite difficult for us to reach the sixth ring of the forest.
I highly doubt most of them will even be able to reach the fourth ring." Wang Xiong answered.
"But what about the Nascent soul realm disciples? I've heard several of them are interested in this now." Ye Jin replied.
"Well… we can't really stop them. Besides, that will just attract the ire of the beasts. I'm sure they won't like the existence of Nascent soul realm humans in their forest; at least not that deep." Wang Xiong stated.
Wang Xiong had heard several things about the forest from Lin Wu and knew that there were five beast kings there, each of which were strong and in the Nascent Soul realm. And they weren't just at the Infant soul stage like most of the Nascent soul realm disciples of his sect, but rather at the child soul stage or above.
'It' will be fun to see how they suffer under the beasts…' Wang Xiong thought to himself.
"But what if despite it all, they manage to find the tomb?" Ye Jin asked.
"Then they find it, nothing else. Don't forget that they can't enter it without an entry talisman. And even if they do find some other way to bypass that requirement, they will still need to face the trials.
And those are no joke… both of us know this." Wang Xiong replied.
"I see…" Ye Jin muttered.
The two of them sat in silence for a few minutes before Ye Jin spoke again.
"Will you be going as well?" She questioned.
"Mmhmm… it won't be any fun if I don't get to see it." Wang Xiong answered.
"But you leaving would cause some issues here, won't it?" Ye Jin asked.
"Yeah, that will be a bit suspicious to them. They might just consider it all a trap." Wang Xiong said as he furrowed his brows.
"Can you sneak out somehow?" Ye Jing questioned.
"Me sneaking out…" Wang Xiong wondered and then the image of a certain fox masked man came into his mind.
He smiled upon remembering it and spoke, "I think I may have a method. I should be able to get out."
"Do you need me to do anything?" Ye Jin asked.
"Just send a few of our unassuming people to the mission as well. Don't let them know that I am going as well, just tell them to do the mission and keep alert." Wang Xiong stated.
"Alright, I'll inform them. Any requirements on how strong they should be?" Ye Jin inquired.
"Someone in the Core condensation realm is a must of course as for their specific stage, the higher the better." Wang Xiong answered.
"Okay," Ye Jin nodded her head and took her leave.
Once she was gone, Wang Xiong left the residence as well. He went to one of the mountains that was deeper in the sect. This mountain was smaller than the other mountains, but it had a dense forest and fog that covered it all year round.
The fog never dissipated, even if strong winds blew. The disciples never really came here, as it was designated as a forbidden mountain. In fact, many disciples didn't even know that this mountain existed here, and neither did Wang Xiong.
"What have you come here for?"
Report chapter
Hearing the voice, Wang Xiong looked around. He was floating above the fog covered mountain and knew that the person who he had come for had already detected him.
"Can't I come to visit the venerated Guardian Yun without asking? After all, you do the same to me." Wang Xiong stated.
For a few seconds, nothing was heard, but then a hole appeared in the dense fog.
"Enter!" The voice spoke.
Wang Xiong flew in through the hole, which then closed behind his back. He kept going down and saw the scenery change. From the previous foggy appearance, it changed and became like a normal mountain.
Even when someone looked up, they would see normal sky and clouds above it.
'The formation array here is far superior to all other formations in the sect…' Wang Xiong thought to himself.
He landed on the ground and soon spotted what looked like an idyllic looking house in the distance. It was nothing too fancy and looked like something that a hermit would build. There was a pond on its side and a garden on the other.
There were even some farm fields on its back, and various crops were planted in it. Then at the side of the farm, one could even see a few other buildings like a chicken coop and a duck coop.
The ducks could be seen waddling down the side all the way into the pond. In the pond, several fishes swam and looked as if they were dancing. Multiple trees were also planted all along the area.
These trees were different from the natural forest trees in that they were flowering and even had some spirit fruits hanging on their branches.
Seeing the things in the area, Wang Xiong couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Thousand feather chickens, Grey beak ducks, and silver scale carps? The guardian certainly likes some luxury goods, huh…" Wang Xiong muttered to himself.
Each of these was actually spirit beasts that were valued for their components and products. They were also considered to be delicacies that even strong cultivators that might be at the Dao Shell realm might not get to enjoy that often.
And yet, here there were hundreds of them walking around freely as if they were common farm animals. Wang Xiong stayed alert when walking around the beasts, as he knew that if any harm came to the beast it might prove to be a costly affair.
He ignored the beasts and made his way to the door of the house.
~knock~knock~knock~
He knocked on the door and it opened almost immediately. There was no one behind the door, but Wang Xiong knew this was his invitation to enter. He thus entered and saw the man in the white fox mask sitting at a low table.
There was a white sheet spread on the table and the man held an ink brush in his hand. He paid no attention to Wang Xiong who had just entered and focused on his task. Wang Xiong could feel a powerful aura lingering around the man and thus he kept silent as well.
He had come here to ask for help and thus didn't want to displease the man over nothing. The house was silent for a few minutes until when the masked man finally used the ink brush.
Strong and dominating characters were written on the papers. They read, 'See Life In Obscurity.'
Wang Xiong read them but couldn't fully understand the intentions behind these words. The meaning was understandable to him, but comprehending them was not something he wanted to do right now.
"So what are really here for?" the fox masked man questioned without moving his gaze from his sheet of paper.
"I want to ask you something." Wang Xiong stated.
"And what is that?" The masked man asked.
"I want to know where the secret exit passageway is in the sect." Wang Xiong replied.
But the masked man did not reply to his query.
"Come on, I know it exists. Even the patriarch has said that I am to come to you if I have problems during his absence." Wang Xiong added.
"Hmmm, fine. But know this that I don't do repeat favors like these." The masked man replied.
"Just this once should be enough." Wang Xiong replied.
"Very well… the secret exit is near the old library. You need to leave through the back exit of the library and get to the small garden behind it. From there you just need to find a tree with the character 'Run' carved on it.
That tree will be the exit point you desire." The fox masked man explained.
"Alright, thank you for your help." Wang Xiong replied before taking his leave.
Once he was gone, the Fox masked man stood up and looked in the direction of the pond.
"Follow him and keep an eye on him. I don't know if things will go well or not." The masked man said.
~shua~
In the next second, a small ball of silvery mist flew out of the pond and chased after Wang Xiong.
~Sigh~
"Just what was the patriarch thinking when he decided that I should take care of this child… this old fox just can't get any rest…" the man said before going back to his house.
Wang Xiong didn't notice that something else had flown out behind him and that it was following him. The ball of silvery mist had turned invisible once it left the foggy mountain, and no one could perceive it.
The ball soon sped up and latched onto Wang Xiong's back.
"Huh?" Wang Xiong stopped in mid air and looked around. He touched his back as he felt something touch it for a second there.
But upon finding nothing, he wrinkled his brows.
"Weird… what was that?" Wang Xiong said before going to his residence.
His next task was to wait for the next report about the situation of the mission and, once it was confirmed that the disciples were heading out, he would leave.
"Now to just wait…"
Time passed, summer went and winter came. Each day was like a smoky wisp, disappearing before it could even stay for long.
Within the Tomb of the Taiji Celestial, a large hall existed. The hall was currently dark and nothing could be seen inside it.
~Rumble~
Suddenly, the sound of something trembling could be heard. The sound was low but deep.
~humm~
In the next moment, a green glow appeared in the hall. If one looked at it right now, one would see that the glow was coming from a mass of green crystals. There were a few specks of black dispersed in it, but it still looked rather mesmerizing.
.
~Crack~
A cracking sound was heard as a crack spread across the large green crystal. Though strangely enough, the crack spread in a very unique pattern in a spiral manner. It was then that a pair of red lights opened up at the top of the crystal mass.
"HAAA!" A sound came from the mass of green crystals.
A large head rose up from the crystal mass. It was evident that the entire crystal mass was one creature that had been coiled up for a long time. The head had hundreds of spikes on it as well.
The larger spikes went down the center of his head and down, while the smaller ones were on the sides in two rows. There were also two red triangular protrusions on the top of his head.
They looked like ears if one looked closely and even had the auricle structure carved into it.
~yawn~
The mouth of the crystal creature opened wide as it let out a long yawn, revealing its thousands of sharp crystallizing teeth hidden inside it. The ones at the back were located in circular rows, while the ones at the front were aligned in a linear manner in a few rows.
At the very front, two long fangs could also be seen. They were about a meter long and looked very terrifying.
~Rumble~
Having yawned, the creature moved the rest of its body and uncoiled. The full appearance of the creature could now be seen. It was over two hundred meters long, once uncoiled and had spikes going down all the way to the tip of its tail.
"That was a nice sleep," Lin Wu said as he stretched his body, reliving the tenseness.
He looked around and saw the dark hall that was only being illuminated by his body's glow.
"Why's it so dark here? System?" Lin Wu called out, but received no response.
"System?" Lin Wu called out again.
~DING~
——
SYSTEM REBOOT COMPLETED: All services online
——
"Oh? You were down too?" Lin Wu was surprised.
~Ding~
Then hundreds of windows popped up in front of him, one after the other, overwhelming Lin Wu a bit.
"Hold up! Don't just shove them to me, sort them out." Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
NOTIFICATION FILTER: Activated
——
Lin Wu saw the number of notifications reduce significantly as the windows disappeared. By the time most of them had disappeared, only one window was left in front of him.
"The notification log, huh…" Lin Wu said as he saw the title.
~Ding~
——
NOTIFICATION LOG: 127 Notification pending
——
The number was rather large and Lin Wu scrolled through them. Since he was unconscious the entire time, the system had accumulated all of them so that he could read them later on.
"Huh? I broke through?!" Lin Wu was surprised and opened the specific notification window.
"No, wait… this is different…" Lin Wu muttered, seeing it.
~Ding~
——
HOST CULTIVATION: Adult Soul stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
-Spirit Qi required to upgrade = [32,785,158/15,000,000] units (liquid spirit qi)
——
The spirit Qi that he had accumulated was a rather massive amount.
"What the hell! How did this even happen?" Lin Wu was now confused and worried at the same time.
He knew that even if he ate the Olive Viper King, his body could not provide this much spirit Qi to him. Which meant that the spirit Qi had been accumulated in some other manner.
"Plus, the spirit Qi should have been in the system's storage if it got it from eating it… but this is in my body directly. Which means… this was accumulated due to cultivation?!" Lin Wu realized.
A bad feeling appeared in his heart and he called out to the system.
"System, just how much time has it been?" Lin Wu almost shouted.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: It has been 10 years, 8 months and 6 days since the host has been in a state of hibernation.
——
"WHAT THE FUCK! I thought it would be a year or two at most! How the hell did it become over ten years?!" Lin Wu was shocked, to say the least.
Multiple thoughts ran through his mind and overwhelmed him a bit. But then he forcibly calmed himself down and decided that he needed to go through this systematically.
'First to see, just what changes have happened to me.' Lin Wu thought.
"System, light up the hall. Why is it so dark here, anyway?" Lin Wu ordered.
~shua~
The lights in the hall lit up in the next second and it became bright. All of the formations were working properly.
'Huh? Is it just me or is it brighter than it used to be?' Lin Wu wondered.
Lin Wu then checked what happened to him. He did this in a direct way and looked at his body and the changes that happened. The first thing he noticed was, of course, his size which had now doubled.
"Goddamn! Just how big am I?" Lin Wu was stunned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The host is now 212.8 Meters long.
——
Seeing the system's answer, Lin Wu was definitely shocked. Not only had the length of his body increased, but his thickness had as well.
"Damn, I'm twice as wide as before." Lin Wu realized that too.
He observed the spikes that had appeared and the teeth as well, finding them to be a new addition.
Report chapter
Having seen the changes in his body, Lin Wu now knew just how vast of a difference that had occurred.
'System did tell me that it could not estimate the time needed as there could be unexpected changes happening during the process, but this is way more than I thought. I literally slept for five times as much as I did when I got the new form…' Lin Wu thought to himself.
Finally, having stabilized his thoughts a bit, he decided to check on the actual technical aspects.
"System, show me the updated Host data," Lin Wu ordered.

——
There were changes in the host data as well, but Lin Wu had already expected this. The first thing he noticed was that his age and lifespan had both increased. The age was something he had already known, but seeing it was a bit surreal to him.
"Damn… I've been awake less than 10% of my entire life here." Lin Wu realized.
He saw that his lifespan had suddenly doubled, despite the fact that he had not broken through.
"Why has my lifespan increased, system?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: This is due to the progress in the host's bloodline. Different beasts have different lifespans, depending on their bloodlines. For example, tortoise beasts can have a lifespan that is the same as that of a Nascent soul realm beast even though they are barely at the Qi refining realm.
The same could be said for the host. Originally, the host was a mud worm with just a few years of lifespan, but the modifications made it possible for the host to have a longer lifespan.
And now, with the improvement of both the bloodlines, the host's bloodline is reaching what it should have been.
——
"Wait, a minute! So what you're saying is… I'm actually supposed to have a longer lifespan, but because I was a worm originally it was reduced? I basically got a debuff?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Affirmative," The system replied.
"Goddamn… I didn't even know I had a debuff all this time." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
Lin Wu then saw an increased amount of spirit Qi that he had, but knew that it had increased because he had basically been cultivating this entire time. The default setting he had left his body on back then was cultivation, so that's what it would do when it was idle.
The spirit Qi storage was pretty much the same as before, though the vital essence had increased by quite a bit.
"Huh? Wasn't this pretty much emptied out when I fought the olive viper king? I'm sure I used it all up when healing myself." Lin Wu said in a confused tone.
But then, when he saw the next part, he understood why the vital energy had increased.
"Whoa! The unknown bloodline's count increased by 2! No wonder the vital essence increased as well." Lin Wu was surprised.
He had not thought that he would get two units alone from the Olive Viper king.
"But wait, even this is not enough to complete the bloodline system?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: To complete the bloodline, the host needs all of the bloodline fragments. Now the system has an estimation that there should be a total of 10 more fragments.
——
"So it's just like the bloodline fragments of the Vermillion bird… but these are spread in other beasts as well. But considering as how there are ten fragments and I have five, then… the final five should be in that beast." Lin Wu guessed.
He had already known that the beast that he had seen in the memories of that half skeleton had been very strong. It had barely been born and had just hatched from its egg and it was already a Nascent soul realm beast.
Lin Wu couldn't even imagine just how strong it would be.
'I had a debuff and managed to reach the Adult stage of Nascent soul realm in two years… that beast definitely did not have a debuff and should be far superior to me. What realm could it even be in now?
No… more importantly… where is it?' Lin Wu thought.
Lin Wu then checked the new few sections, which were pretty much the same as before. The cultivation techniques had stayed the same, as he had not actively increased them. The same could be said for the Qi skills.
But when it came to the innate skills, Lin Wu was in for a surprise again.
"Wow, I got two new innate skills… and my older innate skills got an upgrade as well. That should be the effect of the bloodline, I suppose." Lin Wu understood.
Report chapter
Each of Lin Wu's innate skills had been upgraded by one rank. This was something he had seen happen before and had thus expected it. Not only that, but Lin Wu also realized that he had obtained two more Innate skills that he found to be familiar.
"Aren't these the innate skills of the Olive viper king?" Lin Wu questioned.
While he had not seen the exact name of the skills before, he could very well tell that they matched the ones that Olive Viper King used.
"Oh yeah, I have the two longer fangs now as well… guess I'm part snake now too. Hmm… with the number of bloodlines I may be combining I don't even know if I would be a worm by the end." Lin Wu muttered to himself in wonder.
He looked at the two new innate skills and reckoned that he may as well check its detailed description.
"System, show me the details about these two skills.." Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
INNATE SKILLS:
1. Poison Breath (lesser) (Proficiency: Basic):
The host now has the ability to produce poison in his body which can then be breathed out in the form of a vapor cloud. The poison's strength depends on the host's skill rank and can be increased.
Depending on the other elements that the host can control the type of poison produced can be modified as well.
The current types of poison that are available are:- 1. Basic corroding poison
2. Tearing Wind Poison
3. Erupting Radiation Poison
4. Numbing Poison
2. Venom Fang (great) (Proficiency: Basic):
The has the ability to use the two frontal fangs to bite and inject venom into the prey. This venom is stronger than the one from the poison breath and only works when injected directly into the body.
The venom is volatile and will degrade when left out in air. The venom has strong restrictive abilities and can eventually paralyze the entire body of the foe, shutting down its organs as well, leading to its death.
——
Having read the description of the new innate skills, Lin Wu found them to be very useful. He had already seen the Olive Viper King using these two skills and knew just how efficient they could be when used in large scale battles.
"Poison breath for multiple enemies and Venom Fang for a single one… these will serve me very well, not to mention they come in sub types too." Lin Wu said feeling quite pleased.
And while he was looking at the innate skills he saw that Kin Command had gone up by a rank too.
"Huh? How did this one increase? I don't even use that skill." Lin Wu wondered.
While Lin Wu did have many subordinates, they were smart enough to directly understand his commands and he didn't necessarily need to depend on Kin command to control them.
The skill was useful when there was a large number of weaker beasts that had inferior intelligence and were relatively dumb. He had not used the skill that much since he got it, plus since it was a passive gift it was not like he could forcefully increase it either.
Thus the increase in the skill's rank was unexpected.
"System, how did Kin Command increase?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The Olive Viper King also had the same innate skill and was of a higher rank than the host. The system assimilated the new information and upgraded the skill accordingly.
——
"Ah… no wonder. The Olive Viper King did have a lot of subordinates that he controlled. Considering his personality, I reckon he preferred being forceful. No wonder the skill was higher for him." Lin Wu muttered.
Kin command was an innate skill that could be acquired by a lot of beasts as long as they had a lot of other beasts under their command. It was one of the most common innate skill, and was one of the few that fell in the category of both Innate and acquired skills.
The reason it was still considered to be Innate was because it could actually be passed onto offspring. Otherwise, it would just be a normally acquired skill. All of the beast kings in the Millennium forest had this skill from what Lin Wu could tell.
'They control tens of thousands of beasts each, this skill would be essential to them. Guess I'll see an increase in it as well.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
Other than these parts, Lin Wu didn't see any other significant changes in the host data. His System energy though was close to running out.
"Oh? Has the system been running on the reserve I stored all this time? Well, time to transfer some to it." Lin Wu said.
~DING~
——
ENERGY TRANSFER: Please Specify the amount
——
Lin Wu thought for a bit before deciding, "let's make it a nice even number in the other storages."
"System, transfer 1,767, 741 units of Liquid spirit Qi into the system energy storage." Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
ENERGY TRANSFER: Initiating
CONVERTING: 1,767, 741 units (Liquid spirit Qi) - 17,677,410 units (system energy)
SYSTEM ENERGY STORAGE: 1,279 units - 17,678,689 units
——
"There we, that should last for a while. The overall consumption of system energy has risen too. It's almost 60% more than it used to be. Guess the upgrade increased the overall energy needed for the system to operate in my entire body." Lin Wu spoke to himself.
At the end of the Host data, he saw that his weight was now over four times as much as it used to be.
"GODDAMN! I'm Dummy thick!" Lin Wu said upon witnessing the increase.
He knew that the length and width of his body had doubled but had not expected such a massive increase in weight.
"Oh wait… if you double the volume of something it increases its weight by a cube doesn't it… or something like that, my maths ain't that good." Lin Wu realized.
Having checked the entire Host data, he decided to see how the avatar was doing.
