"Where the heck is my avatar anyway?" Lin Wu questioned.
He checked the monitoring screens and found the avatar in one of the secondary halls.
"Huh? What's it doing there?" Lin Wu wondered.
He tried to switch his body but found himself unable to do so.
"What the hell? Why is it not working? Why can't I switch to my avatar?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The host has been in a state of hibernation for over ten years. The synchronization between the host's soul, main body and avatar has weakened. The avatar has similarly gone into hibernation and only awakens when something is needed to be done according to the protocols set..
——
"Hmm… guess I'll need to cultivate the Unity Avatar Technique a bit more later. I'll just go see it directly." Lin Wu said before teleporting to the hall where the avatar was.
~shua~
His large body disappeared in a flicker of light and reappeared in the secondary hall. The hall was smaller than the one he was in and had not been in use since there were no occupants.
But now, Lin Wu found it to be different than before.
"Huh? Why is the spirit Qi concentration here higher?" Lin Wu was confused.
He approached his avatar that was coiled up and scanned it using his spirit sense.
"Hmm… it seems to be working normally and cultivating. System, do a check on your end too." Lin Wu spoke.
~DING~
——
SCANNER ACTIVATED: Target selected
SCAN COMPLETED: Establishing a link to secondary system subroutine
LINK ESTABLISHED: Avatar Subroutine active
——
A few notifications appeared in front of him as the system did its work. He could feel the familiarity between him and the avatar increase a bit and he could sense it directly without spirit sense now too.
It was now that the system finished its analysis and showed the avatar data.

The first thing Lin Wu noticed was of course the increases then spirit Qi that the Avatar had accumulated till now.
"Damn… even it managed to get a lot. Even though it's a bit less, it's almost the same." Lin Wu muttered in surprise.
The next thing he ended up noticing was the cultivation technique Undaunted Sapphire body art. Its conversion had increased quite a bit even if it had not advanced to the next level.
"How did… was it perhaps cultivating that too? Hang on, system what were the settings the avatar was on all this time?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The Host's avatar was on a set of protocols that prioritized cultivation whenever it was favorable.
——
"Hmm… that explains why it's in this hall. The spirit Qi here is even higher than the main hall, which is strange. And since it has been prioritizing cultivation, it would switch between the techniques as need." Lin Wu understood.
Between the two cultivation techniques, the Taiji Dual Unity Scripture and the undaunted sapphire body art, only the latter could be cultivated by just pouring spirit Qi. It could even increase passively as long as the meridians were continually used.
The same could not be done with the Taiji Dual Unity scripture as it was a bit more complex and needed conscious improvement of it. That was also the reason why neither Lin Wu's main body nor the avatar had experience an increase in its skill level.
'The proficiency of the Flame manipulation and fire resistance increased as well? That's strange, that would only happen if… if the avatar got into a fight!' Lin Wu realized.
"System what else happened in the tomb during this time? Were there any conflicts?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: Five years after the host went into hibernation, the system went into an upgrade state as well and was inactive. But to let the other functions running, it created a subroutine that ran in the host's Avatar.
Any information in the latter five years will be present in the avatar and the host will need to control it to access it.
——
"Ugh! Need to wait till I fully sync with the avatar." Lin Wu muttered.
He then got closer to the avatar and used the Unity Avatar Technique on it. In the next second a very peculiar change happened. Lin Wu's main body wrapped around the avatar and both of them started to fuse.
It was like watching two ice cubes melting and then being frozen again.
"Huh, I don't think I've done this ever since I got the skill… or more like I never had the chance nor the need to do so." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
In the entire time, his avatar had either been away with Shirong or busy taking over his duties while he was in hibernation. Thus it was no surprise that Lin Wu never got to use the Unity Avatar Technique to fuse back with the avatar till now.
The fusion took about a minute to complete and by the time he was done with it, Lin Wu's body had increased once more. It was now twenty percent bigger than his already larger body and had a few more features such as the addition of the two extra Vermillion colors eyes on top of the ones that were already there.
"Mmm… this feels different… comfortable too…" Lin Wu said with pleasure.
Report chapter
Lin Wu's fusion was complete and he got to look at his newly transformed body.
"Oh damn, I look cool!" Lin Mu said as he took a look at his body.
The four eyes he had looked rather intimidating, with one pair being crimson red and one being Vermillion in color. His size being increased was something he had already expected, but the additional power that came with it was also pleasing to him.
"Alright then, now that I've fused up, the sync should be complete soon, right system?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Affirmative" The system replied.
Lin Wu thus waited about fifteen minutes for the avatar to sync with his main body. During this time he just checked out his new form and moved around a bit. He found himself to be far more nimble than before.
.
Not only that, but he realized that the more the sync progressed, the better his control and power were getting. His spirit Qi stores started to increase rapidly and his access to the avatar's skills was also open.
Then finally system gave the notification he was waiting for.

Lin Wu could see several differences right away. The added innate skills and increased spirit Qi storage were the most obvious. Though he also noticed that his progression with the Undaunted Sapphire Body art had changed as well.
His Avatar had reached 51% while his main body was at 31%. But now that he was in the fused form, his progress was at the 41% mark.
"Hmm… I guess the meridians that are from the avatar join my body and cover a certain part of it too." Lin Wu understood.
Having understood the new datum he quickly got to what he wanted to do from the start.
"Let's see what we got here…" Lin Wu muttered and checked the memories of the avatar.
Since his soul was not awake, the memories were stored separately in the avatar's brain.
"Ugh! The headache again…" Lin Wu grunted in pain.
After about a minute later the pain faded and the memories joined the rest of his memories.
"Alright, time to view them all from the start." Lin Wu said.
~DING~
——
NOTIFICATION: Initiating memory playback
——
In the next second, Lin Wu's vision went black and the scene in front of him changed.
"Okay… this feels weird." Lin Wu said as he felt his surroundings.
He could not feel his body and felt like he was floating around in water. Everything in front of him was blank, except for what looked like a Video slider which could be moved back and forth as needed. There was a time stamp next to it as well which showed the time from when he was sleeping.
"This is similar to a video player huh… very well, start." Lin Wu said.
~shua~
In the next moment, colors started to appear in front of him and an entire virtual environment materialized. Lin Wu could tell that he was back in the tomb, but this time his point of view was omnidirectional.
It was a bit disorienting at first, but he soon got used to it.
"Now then, let see… Hmm… nothing happened for the first six months… nothing outside either… the beasts were in a relative peace…" Lin Wu muttered as he observed everything.
The memories shown to him were from the formation array of the tomb and were gathering the monitoring feeds from everywhere in the forest. Lin Wu could see that his servant beasts were doing just as they were ordered to do.
They took over the area where the Olive Viper King lived and made it their own. After this was stabilized, they returned to their usual tasks with the addition of extra area to cover. The expanded territory was rather useful for them as they now had wider places to grow things.
The beasts had learned some basic methods that they could use to farm things and had plowed the land while planting whatever seeds that they could get. The Black Fur monkeys were doing well too and were directing the farming tasks.
There were two that were tending to the herb garden while the rest were outside dealing with the other spirit herbs and such.
"Huh, did nothing happen to the Twin Lights Liger king during this time?" Lin Wu wondered and checked further.
He soon found some memories that related to it. They weren't direct memories of what happened but were from another beast's conversation.
"Can't believe the Lamp Light ligers had to run away in defeat." An Insect beast that looked like a mix between a caterpillar and a bagworm spoke.
"I never would have thought the other kings would interfere like this. Not only that, the Twin Lights liger king actually let it happen." Another insect beast that looked like an overgrown dune bug replied.
"They did try to halt the work of Worm King but the other beasts under the kings prevented them from coming close. And when the worm king really won and official became the king, they had to go back."
"~Sigh~ don't know if this will last, though. The Lamp Light ligers are never to let go of a failure."
"Let's just hope this stays, or at least the worm king does something."
Lin Wu watched the short memory and understood that the rulers had done exactly as he had asked them to do.
"Their promise was fulfilled. Let's see what more happened, still it's strange that the Twin Lights Liger king didn't even attempt anything, just the lamp light ligers did." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
He continued watching the memories that were mostly miscellaneous and finally reached the one year mark.
It was now that he saw the Club Tailed Lizard moving again. She had been with her eggs in one of the halls since the start and had not moved since she arrived there. And just as their agreement was, she woke up after a year.
It was evident that she was looking for Lin Wu but could not find him.
"Where is Worm King Lin Wu?" She called out.
~DING~
"He is currently in seclusion and is cultivating. According to the previously agreed protocol, you are free to leave." The system's prerecorded voice spoke.
"A Responsive formation?" The Club Tailed lizard was surprised.
She then tilted her head and spoke again, "it's not that. My eggs have not hatched, and it doesn't seem like they will for a while. I want to ask if it's possible to stay here for longer." She stated.
The system did not reply right away, but Lin Wu could tell that it was probably analyzing things. After about five minutes of silence, it finally responded.
"The previous agreement shall then be extended. The agreement can be extended at increments of every six months and if any disturbance is detected you shall be evicted or exterminated depending on the level of threat." The System stated.
Hearing the cold voice of the system, the Club tailed lizard couldn't help but shudder. There was also the fact that there was a distinct threat that she could feel coming from there and knew for a fact that she would be killed without being able to do anything if it really came to it.
Report chapter
Lin Wu saw the entire interaction of the club tailed lizard with the system and found it to be rather surreal.
"Didn't think the system would talk like this to others… now that I think of it, it hasn't really spoken to anyone else other than me." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
Lin Wu trusted the system to have made the decision. If he was here he would have done the same and didn't mind that it allowed the Club Tailed lizard to stay. In fact, now that had seen that her eggs hadn't hatched, he was even more curious about how the hatchlings will be like.
"The bloodline might have caused some changes that I don't know about. Perhaps the system might be able to gather some new data from them. That way, I guess it's better to let them live here for now." Lin Wu said.
Lin Wu continued watching the memories and let them proceed.. Another year passed and now it was the second year since he had fallen asleep. The things were still going stably, though there were a few conflicts that had happened among the beasts in this time.
They were mostly between the newer beasts that came to the fifth ring of the forest from the lower rings. Of course, the subordinates of the five kings showed them their rightful places.
The ones that were a bit smarter were recruited while those that were too dumb were sent back to the fourth ring. As for the ones that were still aggressive, they were killed without mercy.
Then came the third year when the first major event happened.
"Huh? The Split Thorn Horn Beetle broke through to the Nascent Soul realm!?" Lin Wu was surprised, to say the least.
He knew that the Spirit thorn horn beetle who was his servant was already at the peak of the core condensation realm and was almost at the pseudo Nascent soul realm back when he saw her last.
But now after three years of accumulation she had finally broken through.
"System, show me her data, quick!" Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
SERVANT DATA: Split thorn horn beetle
STATUS: Vitals stable
Cultivation Base: Infant Soul Stage of the Nascent Soul realm
COMMUNICATION LINK: Stable
LOCATION: Available on map
FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE: a. Detonate
——
Seeing the data, Lin Wu confirmed this fact.
"But how? Doesn't the forest restrict the number of beasts that can reach the Nascent soul realm… no wait that's not it. It just makes it harder to break through when there are five rulers. But even then they can still breakthrough." Lin Wu remembered.
Lin Wu checked more about the Split Thorn Horn Beetle and saw that her breakthrough came as a shock to the other beast kings as well. There was an unease in the forest for the entire year during this time as the beasts were under the impression that there might be another battle for the position of a ruler.
But surprisingly, nothing of that sort happened and the beetle beast kept her presence to the minimum. In fact, she barely left the territory of her ancestor and seemed to be working there to expand her influence.
It was then that Lin Wu understood what was happening.
"Ahh… so she's gonna take over from the current beetle king." Lin Wu muttered.
The other beast kings also understood the same matter and took breaths of relief. But still, they weren't fully free either and got to training their own subordinates so that they could also reach the Nascent Soul realm.
Among the five beast kings, the Two Ape beasts now had the strongest camp due to being related. But now there was a contender again. Even if the beetle beast was calm right now, there was no certain chance she might stay the same.
If she ever decided that she wanted more areas under her control, the battle for influence might start again.
But in this entire thing, there was something that most beasts didn't know. It was the fact that the Beetle beast was actually the servant of Lin Wu and was loyal to him. And since he was a king already, it was obvious she wouldn't become a king on her own.
She even stayed with the current beetle king only because he was her ancestor. If not for that she might have never done that. Then there was also the fact that Lin Wu was the one who had originally asked her to do that.
Finally, four years passed and now Lin Wu saw some humans appear in the forest.
"Huh? Aren't they… disciples of the Frozen Cloud sect?" Lin Wu recognized their robes.
He could see several of them in the forest and they had come from the southern part of the forest. That area was the territory of the beetle king and Lin Wu now and thus anyone that intruded in that area would have to deal with them.
"But still… aren't they a little too careless?" Lin Wu said upon seeing the cultivation bases of the disciples.
A majority of them were in the Qi refining realm while a few were at the Core condensation realm. There were even a handful of them that were at the Nascent Soul realm.
"Hmm… system do we have records of them?" Lin Mu asked.
~DING~

"Just as I thought… these Nascent soul realm cultivators… they are from the same camp as that of the Niu San. That disciples that fought Wang Xiong and died. Wang Xiong also killed his other companions." Lin Wu said in slight confusion.
The last he had heard of Wang Xiong, he had become the chief disciple of the Frozen clouds sect and had become rather important there. His status had sky rocketed and he was busy in expanding his influence as well as cultivating diligently.
Lin Wu had not checked upon him for a while and now decided that he should do that too. For all he knew, the arrival of these disciples might be related to him.
Report chapter
"Hmm, speaking of Wang Xiong, show me his status too System." Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~

SUBORDINATES: 1. Wang Xiong
Cultivation Base: Adolescent Soul Stage of the Nascent Soul realm
Functions available: Communication
——
.
"Damn! The man reached the Adolescent soul stage as well? That was unexpected. Even with the Taiji Celestial's inheritance, it shouldn't have been this fast." Lin Wu was surprised.
Lin Wu reckoned even Shirong might not have reached that point this fast. From what he had seen till now, Nascent soul realm cultivators took at least fifty years to cover the entire Child Soul stage if they had some resources.
Without them, they might even take over a hundred years. From Wang Xiong's progress, it was evident that he was being fully supported due to his position as the chief disciple.
"Looks like helping him out back then was the right decision. Not only did I get that source crystal, but now there is a strong subordinate that I can take advantage of later on." Lin Wu said while nodding.
Having discovered this, Lin Wu decide to pay more attention to what the disciples were talking about.
"Where could the mysterious tomb be?" a few disciples were discussing in a group.
They were all at the Qi refining realm with one of them being at the core condensation realm. It was evident that the core condensation realm disciple was actually the leader of the small group.
"From all the information the elders have gathered over the past four years it is determined that the tomb is somewhere in the fifth ring." The core condensation disciple spoke.
"But can we really trust it?" A doubtful disciple asked.
"Senior brother is right. If it were not for the elders carefully considering it, they wouldn't have halted their mission for four years. I'm sure they did it so that we had more accurate information and had enough time to prepare." A female disciple said.
Hearing this Lin Wu was surprised.
"Huh, four years… so they were actually going to come the very year when I fell asleep? What made them change their mind, I doubt it's just something like collecting the information?" Lin Wu wondered.
He knew that the sect already did several missions in the millennium forest, the only difference was that they seldom came to the inner rings of the forest. The furtherer they went was the third ring as beyond that the core condensation realm beasts started to appear.
Even for core condensation realm disciples, core condensation realm beasts could be very dangerous. Especially since some of the beasts could form large herds or groups and attack together.
"Let's go then, we should be the first ones to reach there. There are many other teams out to find the tomb. Who knows if we are lucky, we might get an inheritance like Chief Disciple Wang Xiong as well." The core condensation realm disciple spoke.
Hearing this Lin Wu was now sure that all these disciples coming here was related to Wang Xiong.
"What happened? Did the fact that he got the inheritance in the forest get leaked?" Lin Wu wondered.
He scrolled through the different windows and saw nearly a hundred different teams of disciples all over the forest. A majority of them had entered through the southern part, but there were some who had chosen to enter from the other three directions as well.
"The ones who entered from the east will have the advantage. After all the tomb is located in the eastern part of the fifth ring. But… this is only if they get to it." Lin Wu muttered.
He switched the scene to the eastern part and saw only three teams here. They were also stronger overall when considered against the rest.
'They even have a Nascent soul realm disciple with them?' Lin Wu noted.
Back at the frozen cloud sect he had scanned most of its area and had recorded all of the spirit Qi signatures of the stronger cultivators that were part of it. This included everyone at the Nascent soul realm and above.
"System is this person part of the data we have?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Negative," The system responded right away.
"Huh… so this disciple must have broken through recently." Lin Wu said.
He could tell that he was at the Infant Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm too and from the slight instability of his cultivation base, it was evident that he had yet to fully uncover the use of his power.
"Senior brother Wang Xiong said that we should approach from the east since the Tomb at the border of the sixth and fifth ring. Everyone should have memorized the map right?" The Nascent soul realm disciple asked.
"Yes, Senior!" all three teams answered at once.
"Good, we shall split into three but still stay within two kilometers of each other. You are to send out a distress signal the moment you encounter danger beyond what you can handle. And if you see any Nascent soul realm beast, run!" The Nascent soul realm disciple explained.
"There are five of them in the forest, right senior?" One of the disciples who looked rather young asked meekly.
Even this young looking disciple was at the Core condensation realm which was rather surprising, considering he didn't look older than sixteen as of now.
"Indeed. They are the five rulers of the forest and are very strong beasts. One of the rulers was said to have left the forest a few years ago, but someone else should have replaced it by now. We need to be careful at every step.
Even I may have a hard time battling them as they are quite likely to be at the Child Soul stage or above." The Nascent soul realm disciple warned.
"We understated senior!" all of them replied.
"Alright, now let's head on." The leader replied and the teams started to move.
Lin Wu understood that this was the team that Wang Xiong had sent in.
"Just what are you planning… Wang Xiong?"
Report chapter
Having learned that it was Wang Xiong behind this team, Lin Wu was now far more interested than before. He changed the settings of the monitoring screens and made it so that they were mostly focused on the three teams of Wang Xiong while setting up alerts for the other teams.
The alerts were mostly for when they reached areas where there would be stronger beasts or if they got closer to the Tomb or just the fifth ring itself. Lin Wu knew for sure that most of the disciples would not be able to get past the fifth ring if not for the stronger Nascent soul realm disciples there.
Lin Wu observed as the disciples made their way to the second ring with little effort. The first ring was something that even commoners could move around with relative safety, so it was a given anyway.
As for the second ring, that was where the Qi refining realm beasts got more and more common. This was also relatively easy for the disciples to get through. After all, they were all at the core condensation realm and if they faltered here, they may as well choke on a block of tofu and die.
The third and fourth ring were also covered with relative ease, but from the third ring onwards they started to have more and more conflicts with the beasts. It was evident that the beasts had gotten agitated all over the forest now..
"Oh boy… the rulers would certainly not like this." Lin Wu said as he observed the screens.
All over the forest, different battles were being fought by the disciple of the Frozen Cloud sect. So far there had been no deaths, but there were several disciples that had been injured.
"Hmm… they do have the backing of the sect, so they should be able to retreat in the face of danger." Lin Wu muttered.
It was now that Lin Wu felt one of the alarms going off.
~Warning!~
Lin Wu quickly switched to the screen that was showing the warning and saw that it was one of the teams that Wang Xiong had sent.
"Oh? The Demon Spine ape is acting now?" Lin Wu saw a few core condensation realm monkey beasts appearing on the screen.
~EEK!~
They screamed at the disciples, which Lin Wu could translate into words.
"What are you humans doing here! Go back! This is our land!" They shouted while baring their fangs.
The disciples of course, could not understand what the monkey beasts were saying and simply thought that they were threatening them. Which was in a way, correct as well.
~Sigh~
"The monkey beasts are done for… I'm pretty sure these were sent by the Demon spine ape and not his father. If it were the Slim Arm ape king, he would have first investigated before taking action.
Though I don't know if they have the news about the other disciples here too." Lin Wu said as he observed the rest of the screens.
Overall, the entire Millennium forest was in an uproar as from everywhere the humans were appearing. This was the first time in over a thousand years that so many humans had appeared in the millennium forest all at once.
And it was also due to the fact that they were all quite strong. Core condensation realm was already something that was considered top of the hierarchy in the forests, with the Nascent soul realm being the apex.
Even if the number of core condensation realm beasts in the forest was over a thousand, the number of humans that had appeared was over a hundred and they were at the core condensation realm too.
As for the Qi refining realm cultivators, there were over four hundred of them.
~Sigh~
Lin Wu sighed to himself as he saw the monkey beasts and the disciples break out in a fight. The battle lasted about ten minutes and was ended due to the appearance of the other teams who joined forces and quickly killed two of the monkey beasts while the rest of them fled for their lives.
"The Demon Spine ape will not like this…" Lin Wu predicted.
He counted the number of disciples and saw that the number had gone down by a bit now.
'So the deaths are starting now…' Lin Wu thought.
More time passed and the number of disciples kept on falling. After about two more days after the battle with the monkey beasts, the three teams that Wang Xiong had sent entered the fifth ring.
It had taken them over twenty days to reach the fourth ring, which was quite fast and then just two more to reach the fifth ring. This was the part that Lin Wu found to be rather strange.
"Did the Slim Arm Ape king stop his son? Why are there no beasts coming to attack them?" Lin Wu was confused.
~ROAR~
It was now that a loud roar was heard coming from the north and the entire area shook as if a something large was heading their way.
"Oh, boy… seems like now I know why the slim arm ape stopped." Lin Wu said as he saw the Lamp Light Ligers appear.
"STOP!" The Nascent soul realm senior Disciple called out to the juniors.
He was the first one to have sensed their presence and was ready to find now.
~GRRR~
The bushes and trees parted as about twenty Lamp Light Ligers appeared. All of them were at the Core condensation realm while three of them were even at the Peak stage of the core condensation realm.
"These are the Lamp light Ligers we were told about. We need to be careful. They are one of the most dangerous beasts of the forest." The Nascent soul realm senior disciple warned.
~gulp~
All of them swallowed their saliva and got ready for a battle. This one was not going to be an easy one, especially since the Lamp Light Ligers were not one to retreat. They would fight to their deaths.
Report chapter
"All disciples split up the beasts according to your strengths. I'll handle the ones at the peak stage." The senior Nascent soul realm disciples said.
"Yes, Senior brother!" They all replied.
~ROAR!~
Unlike the Monkey beasts, the Lamp Light Ligers did not even speak anything and simply pounced on them. It was certain that they were here to kill and would not hesitate to do it.
~CLANG~
The first one to clash was of course, the senior brother. He took out a long sword and held it in front of him to block the attacks of two peak stage core condensation realm Lamp Light Ligers.
The third one though, did not attack directly, but rather circled around to jump on his back.. Even if the man was at the Nascent soul realm, he had only broken through recently and was at the Infant Soul stage.
"BEGONE!" The man shouted as he pushed with all his force and knocked two of the Lamp light ligers away before spinning quickly and blocking the other one that was attacking him from the back.
~DENG~
~clang~
~boom~
Various sounds of conflict were heard as the other disciples began their battles as well. Lin Wu watched it with interest and considered it to be entertainment.
"Man, I wish I had snacks now." Lin Wu said.
~Ding~
"Huh?" Lin Wu heard a notification sound and was surprised.
In front of him, several snacks automatically appeared.
"What is this system? How did they appear here?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: Since the host is viewing memories in a virtual environment, these snacks are just virtual constructs. The system can replicate the taste and texture that the hosts sad felt when eating them before.
——
Hearing this, Lin Wu's expression became serious.
"Have I ever told you this system… you… are… AWESOME!!! How the heck did I not know this was possible. I would have eaten them all the time." Lin Wu said with excitement.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: This can only be simulated in the virtual space and thus the system cannot do this normally.
——
"Oh… still this is pretty nice." Lin Wu said as he took hold of all the snacks.
He had to be a bit more careful in handling them since his body was even larger than before. He had to carefully change the shape of his tail into a thin fork that he could use for it and pick up the snacks.
There were many different kinds here, including fried and grilled meats, fruits, and many more things.

Suggestion: The host can simply control the snacks with his mind. This is a virtual space, there is no need for physical interaction.
——
"Whoa! That makes it even more easier." Lin Wu felt pleased.
The snacks simply floated out of the plates and serving bowls before entering Lin Wu's mouth.
"Ah~ the taste is the same. I love you system!" Lin Wu said as he enjoyed the show.
The battle lasted for about an hour at the end of which the victor was of course, the frozen clouds sect's disciples. At the start, it did seem like they were on the losing side, but Lin Wu later realized that they had come with far more preparation than he had expected.
They already knew of the unique ability of the Lamp Light ligers and were prepared for it. One by one, they used the tactics they had planned out and killed all of the Lamp Light ligers.
Of course, once the Nascent soul realm senior disciple was freed, after killing the three peak stage core condensation realm Lamp Light Liger beasts, the rest became a far more easy task.
"Wang Xiong definitely gave them a lot more help than others." Lin Wu said after seeing the battle.
He then switched the screens and saw how the rest of them were doing. He saw that other than the teams that Wang Xiong had sent, only four more teams had managed to reach the fifth ring.
And all five rings were there due to being led by Nascent soul realm disciples. In total, there were two more Nascent soul realm disciples that had come to the millennium forest.
The ones that had entered from the southern part of the millennium forest ended up clashing with insect beasts, mostly. As for the beasts that were now considered to be under Lin Wu, they didn't act unless the disciples got close to the areas where the spirit herbs were planted.
"Look! There are so many spirit herbs here!" A few disciples ended up getting close to the spirit herbs farms.
"Hang on! We can't just enter without thinking." The leader of the group said.
"Take a closer look… do you really think so many spirit herbs would be unguarded?" The leader asked while pointing at the area.
The disciples in the team observe the area closely and could see some beast marks around the area. They were mixed, and it was hard to tell which beasts they belonged to.
"Huh? Mantis beasts, Weevil beasts, Horn caterpillar beast, earth moth beast, Wood Limb Wolves, Red Tailed squirrels… there are all vastly different beasts. How are their footprints all here?" One of the smarter disciples analyzed the tracks.
The leader looked towards the disciple who had just spoken and nodded his head.
"Exactly… why would such beasts be here? That too in an area like this where everything seems normal and calm. Usually, if beasts like those meet they would just end up fighting over these spirit herbs and fruits." The leader spoke.
"Then why are these tracks here?"
"Not just that… those spirit herbs… don't you think they are planted way too symmetrically?" someone else questioned.
The disciples got a bit more close to take a look and narrowed their eyes.
"Huh… are these… plowing marks?"
"Don't tell me… were these spirit herbs planted here?" The one who had recognized the beast tracks spoke, feeling bewildered.
~TREMBLE~
Just as he said that the ground started to shake with great force.
Report chapter
"Wh-what's happening?!" The disciples were more than shocked.
The leader's face fell as cold sweat appeared on his brow.
"It's… it's a beast…" before he could say much, the ground tore open.
~BOOM~
"KIIIIIIIIII~" A strange screeching sound was heard as a cloud of dust and dirt was created due to whatever that had come up from the ground.
From the dust clouds, they could make out a few green glints of light coming, but couldn't exactly tell what it was.
~SLASH~
But before they could get a chance to do so, the sound of something tearing and ripping apart could be heard.
~splat~
.
A wet liquid was sprayed on the bodies of the disciples and they felt a warmth coming from it.
"Blood?" One of them touched the warm liquid on their face and looked at it. The crimson red liquid stuck their fingers, showing them the proof that one of their companions had just died.
"RUNNNNNNN!!!!!" The leader shouted.
~RIP~
Unfortunately for him, that was just a needless cry. Before he could even take another step, his body fell apart like ribbons. The ribbons were fleshy and held on by some bones and sinew.
The blood spilling from it spread a bloody scent in the area and tingled the nostrils of each and every disciple there. A sickening feeling rose up from the bottom of their stomachs, and they tried their best to hold it back.
~WHOOSH~
Finally, a gust of wind blew away the dust and the scene could be seen clearly. Two dead bodies that were greatly damaged were lying on the ground. One of them was split into four unequal parts while one of them was turned to fleshy ribbons.
The one that was split into four unequal parts was none other than the smart disciple who had recognized the beast tracks, while the one that was turned into ribbons was the leader.
Two normal living disciples that were speaking just a few seconds ago were now dead.
"EEEEEKKKKK!" The female disciples let out a high pitch screeching shout upon seeing everything.
Even if they were the disciples of a cultivation sect and were used to death and battles, this level of blood and gore was not something they had seen before. And even if they had, it was usually the beasts that were butchered like this and not humans.
All of their mentality and willpower had gone into the drain, and their morale dropped to zero.
A pair of dark brown eyes gazed at them as the snout in front of them twitched slightly. The whiskers on it moved diagonally as they sensed the fine changes in the air. Below the snout, a mouth could be seen.
But the most shocking thing was the thing that hung out from the mouth. A pair of sharp emerald green crystalline incisors could be seen jutting out from the mouth. They curved towards and looked like sharp blades.
This was a beast, and it was not just any beast, but the mole beast who was the very first servant of Lin Wu. His emerald green crystal claws were covered in blood as well and it slid down them without staining them at all.
"Daring to defile Master's property, hump! Impudent!" The Mole Beast scoffed.
Of course, his words were only understandable to Lin Wu as of now and to the disciples, it was just a beastly screech. The spirit Qi fluctuations coming from this body were also nothing weak and turned the knees of the disciples weak.
"N-Nascent soul… Nascent soul… A Nascent soul realm beast!" The disciples cried out.
The mole beast walked forward and didn't care that the disciples were running away. Just a little hit of his aura was enough to freeze them in place now. He casually walked up to the next disciple and raised his claws.
~SLICK~
The claws were like razor sharp blades as they cut through the disciple's body cleanly. If one looked at it, one would see that the disciple was now cut in four vertical slices. It looks like someone had put an egg in an egg slicer and cut them.
The blood started to spill out more and more, turning the area bloody.
~sniff~
the fresh blood of humans… just how long has it been since I got to taste it?" The mole beast wondered.
~STEP~STEP~STEP~
A few disciples gained a second wind and managed to break through the fear that was immobilizing them.
~WHOOSH~
Their spirit tools were summoned by them and all of them tried to fly away.
~SHUA~
The Mole beast raised his claw again, causing winds to stir. The ones that were close by were knocked back just by this.
~BOOM~
Then he slammed his claw down to the ground, making it shake as if an earthquake had arrived.
~THUD~
~thud~
~THUD~
But that was just the start as three spikes rose up from the earth. The spikes were made out of solid rock and rose at a great speed. They appeared just below the disciples that were trying to fly away and stabbed them from the bottom.
~SLICK~
Three disciples were now skewered like rats on a stick, unable to move. Their spirit weapons fell helplessly to the ground. They lost their glow, and it was the sign that they were no longer being controlled; their owner had died!
"Just a few more left…" The mole beast said in a pleased tone as he changed his gaze towards the four disciples that were left alive. These were the ones that were too scared to move and the pressure exuding from the Nascent soul realm cultivation base was also immobilizing them.
~SHING~
The mole beast waved both of his claws, splitting the disciples into multiple pieces of meat and bones. It then licked his claws, tasting the blood of the freshly slain disciples.
"This is nice… perhaps humans coming to the forest again ain't that bad…" the Mole beast muttered.
Lin Wu who had seen everything, felt entertained as well as he shoved more and more snacks down his mouth.
Report chapter
"Now THAT was a nice show!" Lin Wu said out loud.
He had seen the entire series of events when the Mole beast appeared and killed the disciples, finding it to be pleasing. It reminded him of those fantasy monster shows of his past life.
He often had a fun time watching them and would eat snacks just like this while lying on the bed.
"Also… when the heck did the Mole beast breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The mole beast broke through to the Nascent Soul realm 14 months ago.
——
The system quickly answered.. Seeing this, Lin Wu was surprised and then recalled that a lot of his servants were at the peak stage of the core condensation realm and would break through whenever the right time came.
"Guess he finally had his right moment… though wait there were more than just him and the beetle beast in the peak stage. What about the other beasts?" Lin Wu asked again.
"SYSTEM SHOW ME THE DATA OF ALL THE SERVANTS!" Lin Wu ordered.

Seeing the data, Lin Wu was shocked, to say the least.
"GODDAMN! Nearly all of my earlier servants reached the Nascent soul realm? And even two of the Black Fur monkeys managed to do the same. The forest isn't really restricting them, huh?" Lin Wu exclaimed.
To him, so many subordinates' breaking through was a massive thing. Right now he was already stronger than all of the Rulers of the forest combined just from the sheer power of his subordinates. In total, he had six servants that were at the Nascent Soul realm.
It was a massive increase in the power of the beasts, which was unprecedented in the millennium forest.
"Seems like I may have a better chance at going against the Twin Lights Liger King now. What's he even gonna do? Send out more of his subordinates? They're just gonna become food." Lin Wu couldn't help but chuckle.
Though he also wondered if the other rulers of the forest knew about Lin Wu's servants and their breakthrough.
"Hmm… was that why the slim arm ape and others have been careful?" Lin Wu wondered.
He also knew that his servants were mostly staying in the Tomb and seldom went out. The subordinates that they had made for themselves were now also quite strong and were capable enough to handle more tasks.
Only the beetle beast was the one that publicly went out, since her cultivation base was already common knowledge in the forest. Lin Wu had seen most of the insect beasts fighting the disciples of the foremen clouds sect and guessed that they were doing so under the commands of the beetle beast.
And even if it was not her, it might have been her ancestor, the beetle king. The split thorn horn beetle king had to definitely follow Lin Wu now. After all, his very talented descendant was now a Nascent soul realm cultivator.
It was also her to whom he was going to pass on the throne of the ruler when it came his time to die.
Lin Wu watched the different screens as the disciples of the frozen cloud sect fought and died. Some ran away while some fought on bravely. Some even managed to defeat the beasts that were fighting them, but those that did meet even more terrifying beasts.
Lin Mu's other servants, the two bird bases, had joined the battle as well and were holding the ground in the middle area of the fifth ring now. A few flaps of their wings and anyone that came close was dead.
~YAWN~
"This is just too easy…" The High Wind Gale sparrow said while yawing.
"I know, right? I wonder when master will return from seclusion. It's been four years now." The Hook Winged Swan spoke.
"Yeah, I miss him too. Which is strange as I never thought I would in the past." The Sparrow beast replied.
"Mmhmm, if it were not for the fact that the link master established between us is still active, I would have thought he left us and went away somewhere. But he can still be sensed within the center of the tomb." The Swan beast said.
"Master fought the Oliver Viper King and won. I'm sure he had some gains from it and is just taking time to recuperate from any injuries that he may have gotten. After all, we all saw just how devastated the area was.
Even if master is very strong, it would be hard to come out of it without injuries. After all, even the Twin Lights Liger King had gotten injured when he battled with the olive viper king in the past." The Sparrow beast said after thinking a bit.
"Yeah… by the time we see him, he may be very strong." The swan beast agreed.
"True. And that is exactly why we need to be strong, too. If we are too far behind master, we won't be of any use to him. So let's just do our best and carry out the orders that were given to us." The Sparrow beast said in a proud tone.
Report chapter
Hearing the words of his servants, Lin Wu felt touched.
~Sniff~
"Aww~ You guys…" Lin Wu said before seeing the two bird beasts taking their leave.
He switched the view to a different place. This was a location he hadn't really focused on for a long time now, ever since he actually got it.
"I never got to this one. Wonder what the Black Fur Monkey did with this during these past years…" Lin Wu said before scrolling through the screens and picking one at the very back.
~shua~
The scene in front of him changed to that of a location that looked like a shrine. It was made out of carved stone and wood. There was a large wooden gate at the front that looked aged..
There were certain words carved on it that were hard to read and were written in some old script that was long forgotten. Lin Wu himself though could read and understand it as it was a script that the system had deciphered for him.
"Gate of Perseverance… that's a heavy sounding name." Lin Wu muttered.
He observed the gate and saw that had it been significantly cleaned up since he last saw it. Before the gate was covered in a thick layer of moss and was even tilted. But now it looked to be standing in the proper form and was clean as well.
Behind the gate was the shrine's courtyard, that was filled with grass and small plants. At the center of it went a paved stone path that fit the vibe of the shrine very well, giving off an aura of calmness.
There were six ponds distributed in the shrine according to Fengshui and there were also auspicious statues set up at certain places. They too were cleaned and polished, giving them a rather luxurious look.
Finally, at the end of the path, was the main building of the shrine. It was a simple square building with four supporting pillars and a curved roof. The eaves of the roof were colored red while the wood that was used to make it was brown. Its walls were made out of stone and had many murals carved onto it, giving it an aura of the ancients.
Lin Wu could see a rather large person cleaning the backyard of the shrine right now. He was sweeping the dead leaves that had come from the trees in the backyard. There were several different kinds planted there, including thousand year old peach, Auburn Plum, and Amber Maple Trees.
The multicolored leaves were scattered around the ground, and the man would gently sweep them to the side. He carried out the task very calmly and looked like a monk seeing the way he was dressed.
"Huh? What happened to the monkey beast?" Lin Wu was confused.
He tried to sense the spirit Qi fluctuations coming from him and realized that he was actually at the Nascent soul realm now.
"So he's one of the monkeys that broke through to the Nascent Soul realm… but wait, hang on, wasn't he one of the weaker monkeys? How the heck did he break through first or second?" Lin Wu wondered.
Soon the monkey beast turned around, letting Lin Mu take a look at him. Seeing his appearance, Lin Wu was shocked again.
"No way that's the same Black Fur Monkey!" Lin Wu exclaimed.
The monkey beast now looked vastly different from before. It had grown out the hair on his face more than his body. It looked like he had a long mustache and a beard as well. His eyebrows were drooping at the sides, making him look like an old monk.
The most eye catching part though, was the green gem that glowed in the center of his forehead. It looked like a third eye and even had a hint of white color in it. If one looked at the hands of the beast they would see that while his knuckle had the free emerald crystal on it, there were also white circles on the front and back of his palms.
His nails were also white and shone like glass. Overall, he looked like a holy monk now.
"Yeah, something definitely happened to this monkey beast. Did he gain some new abilities or something?" Lin Wu wondered.
~DING~

Seeing the stacks of notifications pertaining to just one of his servants, Lin Wu was stunned.
"So… basically he gained something from the shrine… was there really something there? If there was, then why didn't the system detect it back then?" Lin Wu wondered.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The said energy source was hidden and was in a sealed state. It only got released when the overall condition of the Tomb's formation array started to increase.
——
"I see… and just what was this energy source?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The energy source was a statue of a god. The Black Fur monkey touched it and absorbed the spirit Qi while also gaining data nodes which gave it enlightenment.
——
Lin Wu widened his eyes upon learning about this.
"No wonder… could it have been a statue of the Taiji Celestial, perhaps?" Lin Wu wondered and looked inside the shrine.
But there, the statue looked like a completely different man.
"Huh? System whose statue is this?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: According to the recently decrypted information, this person is an elder disciple of the Taiji Celestial and is also the one who built the tomb in the Ming Dao World.
He was called as Daoist Sky Bright and was a very high leveled cultivator. The rest of the records are still encrypted thus, this is all the information currently available.
.
——
"Hmm… so an elder disciple and the creator of the tomb as well… he must have been assigned to make it in this world and could have even had direct contact with the Taiji Celestial." Lin Wu muttered.
This was one of the questions that Lin Wu have had in his mind for quite some time now. The location was called as the Taiji Celestial's tomb, but a tomb was only made when someone died. But from all that Lin Wu had learned till now about the man, it didn't really seem like he was dead.
Thus, having a tomb for the man that too made by some other disciples seemed strange to him. Plus, the tomb was meant to serve as a place where the Taiji celestial could pass on his inheritance and also take in more disciples.
"System, is the Taiji Celestial… you know… dead?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: This information is currently unknown. According to the information and records that have been decrypted till now, they all point to him being alive.
——
"Hmm… so the system is doubtful, too. Perhaps I'll learn more in the future. Besides, the Taiji Celestial does not seem like someone that would be able to die easily." Lin Wu said to himself.
Lin Wu looked at the rest of the notifications and saw that the bloodline of the monkey beast had mutated as well, along with it gaining the affinity to the light element.
Lin Wu knew that the light element was one of the four heavenly elements along with wind, lightning and darkness and was hard to come across. The people who had an affinity for it were quite few and rare to find.
But Lin Wu also knew that the techniques of the Taiji Celestial dealt with the Yin and Yang. One of the most common ways to represent these two aspects was by nothing but Light and darkness.
Light was Yang while darkness was Yin. Thus, if one gained control over the inheritance of the Taiji Celestia, they were bound to gain an affinity to both darkness and Light, eventually.
And considering that, it seemed obvious that the monkey beast might be able to gain an affinity to the light element. After all, even the Taiji Celestia was split into two beings: Bai and Hei.
Plus the Shadow element and the shadow calamity arose from the yin aspect of the Taiji Celestial as well.
Seeing the white marks on the monkey beast's palms and in the Pentagem, Lin Wu wondered if it was due to that as well. This combined with the monk like appearance, the monkey beast truly looked like an enlightened monk.
"Guess I'll learn more if I see ahead." Lin Wu muttered and looked back at the screen before unpausing the memory.
~sweep~sweep~sweep~
The monkey beast continued his endeavor of sweeping the dead leaves until the sound of several footsteps was heard coming from the distance. His ears picked them up very easily but his spirit sense was even faster.
His eyes that were almost closed, opened slightly, and he waved his hand.
~WHOOSH~
~RUSTLE~
A wind started to blow before picking up all of the dead leaves on the ground. The leaves spun in a vortex before being carried to the side and being deposited into a single pile. The monkey beast flipped his hand and the broom that he was using to sweep the backyard shrunk in size before bending and turning into a bangle.
The bangle automatically floated up to his hand and set itself over his wrist. The monkey beast then put his hands inside his sleeves and calmly walked over to the shrine.
"Where the heck did he learn all these dramatic methods? Has he been attending acting school or something?" Lin Wu wondered.
He knew that monkeys had what could be said to be a natural 'flair' for drama and acting, but this was usably restricted to them causing mischief and teasing. But this was on a completely different level than what he had thought it would be.
Lin Wu was quite impressed and thought that he was watching some old movie about a Kung Fu master that had been living in seclusion.
Lin Wu switched his attention to the footsteps and wondered who it was that had just arrived here.
"It can only be the disciples of the Frozen cloud sect. But which ones among those are they?" Lin Wu muttered.
The fate of the disciples was pretty much set at this point, depending on what party they were from. If they were just any common disciple of the Frozen Cloud sect, they would be swiftly killed.
If they were a strong disciple they might live for long and struggle before being brutally killed.
Perhaps only the ones that were from Wang Xiong's camp might survive.
"Oh? It really is them." Lin Wu realized.
The ones that had arrived were none other than the Nascent soul realm senior disciple that was sent by Wang Xiong along with the rest of his companions. The one surprising thing about them was that they were all alive with not a single person dead.
The same could not be said for the other teams as in most teams, at least one person had been killed if not the entire team itself. The beasts of the millennium forest were harsh and Lin Wu wondered if they would be meeting the same fate too now.
