Hearing Lin Wu, the servant beasts all felt a sense of pride swelling up in their bodies.
"We shall bring glory to master and rise to the top of this world!" The Mole beast said with great enthusiasm.
The other beasts looked at the mole beast upon his words and had a strange expression on their faces.
"The world already? Pretty sure we would have to be far more strong to even be qualified to say that." The Beetle beast said, feeling doubtful.
"No…" Lin Wu interrupted.
"The mole beast is right. We shall become the strongest power in this world… even above the humans. We are beasts! We are innately stronger than humans when born. We need no cultivation techniques and yet we grow stronger.
All we need is some direction and I'm sure we shall rise to the top!" Lin Wu proclaimed.
After hearing the words of Lin Wu, the beasts finally felt a bit more convinced. Lin Wu had made this goal after quite a bit of thinking. He had read plenty of novels and knew how cultivation worlds worked.
Unless one was strong in the world, it was hard to survive. One couldn't be strong alone either, as then there would be many others changeling them. Rather than being strong alone, it was better to have a power backing them.
Thus Lin Wu reckoned why not become that power themselves. Since it was always the 'proclaimed son of heaven', 'the providence bearer' or just the 'protagonist' who faced the most trouble and courted it as well, why not be the power that stayed at the back and let the main character fight.
Lin Wu knew that even if he had the system, he was not invincible. He was not born as a human and thus had nothing to do with them. Karma and fate existed in worlds such as this and thus he was now linked to beasts.
It was far better for him to be with beasts rather than foolishly try to ally with the humans and support them directly. Rather than that, it would be far better for him to have humans as 'his' subordinates like Wang Xiong was.
Lin Wu knew that this way the troubles would be less likely to head his way and even if they did, Wang Xiong and the rest would probably face them and he would be alerted beforehand to be prepared for it.
It was a long plan and would need quite a bit of preparation. But Lin Wu already had the baseline ready now. He had the tomb and the inheritance that came with it. He had his servants, who while not the strongest, had a decent enough cultivation base that would prevent humans and other beasts from challenging them outright.
But Lin Wu knew that this was not full enough. Just the Tomb would be lacking and he needed to increase his area of influence.
"We shall follow, master!" All of the beasts said in unison.
"Good! Now then… the first thing we need to do is to stabilize our position in the millennium forest. If we want to get strong, we have to fully control it." Lin Wu said.
"Does this mean… we will be removing the rulers?" The beetle beast asked.
While she was indeed Lin Wu's servant, the current beetle king was her ancestor and had been good to her the entire time. She did not want him to suffer anymore.
"No… we will be adding them to our ranks. Why remove someone that can increase our power? Of course, this is only if they accept to join us. If they resist, then… they shall be eliminated." Lin Wu replied.
~phew~
Hearing this, the Beetle beast took a breath of relief.
'Ancestor will be fine with this. As long as the insect beasts are safe and can live without too much conflict, I don't think he will mind master taking over the entire forest.' The beetle beast thought.
"I think we won't have as much problem with this. The Slim Arm ape king and the Demon Spine Ape king are already in an alliance with us and have a genial relationship with us. As for the beetle king, our relationship is even better, as their egg clutches are located at the border of our territory for being safer." The Nascent soul realm Emeraldine Monkey said.
This was the same monkey who Lin Wu had assigned to take care of the tomb and was the one who was writing records in the hall it had taken over. It was certainly smart and had kept up with all the happenings in the forest.
"That's good then. What about the Twin Lights Liger King?" Lin Wu questioned.
In all that Lin Wu had seen in the system's memories, the information about the Twin Lights Liger king and his territory seemed to be minimal. Which was rather strange, as it seemed like they had not acted much during the past ten years.
"The twin Lights liger king… he's been silent… too silent." The Swan beast was the one to answer this time.
"Oh? Tell me more." Lin Wu asked.
"I've been particularly keeping an eye on him and his territory. In fact, that was where I was just a few hours ago. I came when master summoned me.
As for the Twin Lights Liger King, the last time he was seen was during the invasion of the Southern Tusk Tapirs. He held off the northern part of the forest and only appeared when all of his subordinates were about to be killed.
His power was the same and he very easily killed the six Nascent soul realm southern Tusk Tapirs that had attacked from the north. As for the ones with a lower cultivation base, they were killed by the Lamp Light Ligers." The Swan Beast explained.
"Hmm… I see and he did nothing else? Not even ask around about me or the Olive Viper King?" Lin Mu questioned.
"No… nothing. He just went back to his cave and has been there ever since." The Swan Beast answered.
Lin Wu furrowed his brows and wondered just what it was that was up with the Twin Lights Liger king.
"System, can you check up on the Twin Lights Liger King?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
SCAN FAILED: Interference detected
NOTIFICATION: The area around the Dark Bloom Caverns has become unstable.

Seeing this, Lin Wu was even more sure that something was definitely going on with the Twin Lights Liger King.
"Seems like I'll have to visit him on my own." Lin Wu muttered.
"What do you want us to do, master?" The beasts questioned.
"Hmm… Beetle beast, you can go and ask your ancestor if he's willing to join under me. And you, Emeraldine Monkey, you can ask the Slim Arm Ape King as well. The Demon Spine Ape king will probably agree if his father does and if he does not, he'll probably ask for a fight first." Lin Wu answered.
Hearing about a fight, the eyes of the Emeraldine monkey lit up.
"I would look forward to that. I'd like to see what the Demon Spine Ape compares to us now." The Emeraldine Monkey said.
"You can do that. Or if he wants to fight me, that's fine too." Lin Wu replied.
The Emeraldine monkey cupped its fist and bowed his head in acceptance.
"What do I do with the Frozen cloud sect disciples master? Should I allow them to come to the tomb for the trials?" The 'Monk'ey beast questioned.
"Hmm… wait for a bit. What do they want to do now? Have the asked to come?" Lin Wu asked.
"Of the ten that qualified, only two want to attempt the trials and they are waiting patiently. They have already understood the difficulty of the trials and want to be prepared before attempting the Tomb's.
They will wait as long as I tell them to wait. As for the rest… they are already inheriting the Sky Bright Daoist's techniques. It will take them a while though." The 'Monk'ey beast answered.
"Hmm… so that's how it is. Very well, let them wait for a bit. I'll let them take the trials after my breakthrough." Lin Wu stated.
"Y-your breakthrough?" The 'Monk'ey beast asked doubtfully.
"Mmhmm… I'm ready for a breakthrough to the Dao Shell realm. I just wanted to know what all was happening before attempting it and giving you all a notification." Lin Wu confirmed.
"Master will be breaking through to the Dao Shell realm? Is it truly possible?" The Swan beast questioned.
"Yes, doesn't the forest prevent that from happening? So far no Dao Shell realm beast has managed to appear in the forest." One of the core condensation realm emerald monkey beasts said.
"No… we thought that there could only be five nascent soul realm beasts before, but now we clearly have several more. Which means the rules of the forest are not rigid… or that they have changed now.." The beetle beast said after thinking.
Report chapter
Lin Wu knew the words of the Beetle beast were pretty close to what he had thought as well. He now had a hunch that the rules of the Millennium forest were probably dependent on the formation array of the Tomb.
It was spread throughout the entire forest and many parts of it were currently broken and in disrepair. But as Lin Wu got stronger, and the system repaired the formation array, things were getting better.
'With the formation array getting repaired, perhaps the restriction might get lifted little by little. There are Already Nascent soul realm beasts more than the earlier limit of five… Dao Shell shouldn't be a problem either later.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
"The beetle beast is right. The restrictions of the forest will be slowly lifted. It won't be long before more Dao Shell realm beasts appear as well." Lin Wu stated.
Hearing the confirmation from Lin Wu, the servant beasts all had serious expressions. They now knew that they would have to strive to be stronger and be the first one that reached the Dao Shell realm after Lin Wu.
Though they also knew that it would probably be someone else that did it first. The Twin Lights Liger King was the very first choice, as his talent and bloodline were strong enough to do it. The only thing stopping him had been the restriction of the forest.
'Though he won't be able to do so if I get rid of him before that.' Lin Wu thought as his eyes glowed lightly.
"Is that all, master? Do you want us to do anything else?" The servant beasts questioned.
"No, that's all. You all can go ahead. And… put some distance between us when I'm breaking through. I don't know if it will have some side effects." Lin Wu answered.
This was something Lin Wu truly did not know and wanted to be safe. There was no heavenly tribulation when he broke through to the core condensation realm, yet the effect cause was strong enough to knock out Shirong and his companions.
This time it was going to be a breakthrough to the Dao Shell realm, thus Lin Wu wanted to be even more prepared.
"We shall take our leave then, master." The servant beasts said before the teleportation formations took them away,
~shua~shua~shua~
With all of them gone, Lin Wu looked around and sighed to himself.
~Sigh~
"Time to get started for it I guess… but before that. System, do I need to separate my bodies for the breakthrough?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: Yes, the host needs to break through with the bodies separately.
——
"Alright… let's get to it then. Though the fused form did feel better than I thought it would." Lin Wu muttered and activated the Unity Avatar technique.
The moment he did, his body started to glow and several grooves appeared along his body. The spread all the way around his body and started to change. Lin Wu's body also coiled up and became like a single mass.
The glow got brighter and brighter until it was harder to see anything and about two minutes later it stopped.
~shua~
Now in place of Lin Wu's fused body, his two bodies could be seen. The main body was larger than the avatar and could be recognized rather easily.
"Ah, this feels a bit uncomfortable… a bit incomplete…" Lin Wu said.
Lin Wu's avatar was currently at the Child Soul Stage of the Nascent soul realm and was thus two stages lower than his main body. Right now though, both of the bodies had enough spirit Qi for them to break through to the Dao shell realm.
Of course, this was not possible as the Avatar needed to be lower than that of the main body.
'I'll upgrade the Avatar's cultivation base all at once later when I'm done with my main body.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
~huu~
Lin Wu took a deep breath and decide to start after sending his avatar to a different hall.
"Alright… let's get to the top." Lin Wu said and teleported to the top of the Tomb.
This was a precaution just in case too much chaos happened.
"System, prepare for the upgrade!" Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~

~SHUA~
As soon as the order was given, Lin Wu felt a mass of spirit Qi gushing into his meridians. His meridians were like raging rivers and the spirit Qi was the stormy water. It spread all around his body and inundated his cells.
~HONG~
Finally, the spirit Qi reached his Dantian, and it was as if a storm had formed within it. A cyclone formed at the center of the spirit Qi and at the top of the storm were Lin Wu's two Nascent Souls.
Both of the human Nascent souls were calm right now and were sitting with their backs to each other.
~HONG~HONG~HONG~
The storm continued to seethe, and the cyclone spun. Soon, it reached a critical point and the spirit Qi started concentrating on one point.
~HUALA~
A very faint outline started to appear at the bottom of the cyclone. The outline was irregular and was changing shapes every so often. It was like a bubble that was still forming and was unstable.
This state lasted for about an hour and the shape of the outline kept on changing. Soon it started to become more and more condensed and reached a more circular shape.
This circular shape then expanded into three dimensions and became like a sphere. It expanded more and more until it finally reached the shape that was the more normal for a Dao Shell.
~huu~
Lin Wu took a deep breath upon seeing this and knew that the process was close to completing.
Report chapter
Lin Wu gazed at the spherical outline and thought that the change was complete.
~HUALA~
But as a surprise to him, it was not fully done yet. Lin Wu's human nascent soul that represented his Crimson eyed emerald worm bloodline suddenly opened its eyes and gazed down at the outline of the Dao Shell that had formed.
~SHING~
A green beam of light shot out of its eyes and reached the outline of the Dao Shell at the bottom.
The green light started being absorbed by the Dao Shell and its color started to change. From its previous translucent white color, which was like the color of the attribute less spirit Qi, it became an emerald green, just like Lin Wu's body.
~shua~
The Dao Shell's outline was now completed, and it started to float up into the sky. It reached Lin Wu's green Nascent soul and came to a rest below him. The Nascent soul then stood up and sat back down on top of the Dao Shell's outline cross legged.
"Uh… is that it?" Lin Wu questioned.
~HUMM~
The other Nascent soul that represented the unknown bloodline opened its eyes suddenly as well and stood up. It looked up at the sky and let out a bellowing roar.
~ROAR!~
The Roar was loud enough to shake Lin Wu's entire Dantian and Lin Wu himself.
~DING~
——
WARNING!: Bloodline Abnormality detected!
NOTIFICATION: The Unknown bloodline has triggered an unknown effect, the host best prepares for impact.
——
"What the fuck! I knew something would happen!" Lin Wu said.
~RUMBLE~
Clouds started to appear in the sky, and strong winds started to blow. Some lightning could also be seen in the clouds, but it was obvious that this was just normal lightning and not tribulation lightning.
~SHUA~
Just as how the cyclone in Lin Wu's Dantian had formed, a cyclone in the real world was also forming now. The phenomenon was like a representation of his Dantian and spirit Qi started to stir in the atmosphere.
The shocked and scared cries of beasts could be heard coming from across the forest, and it was evident that they had not expected something like this to happen.
~HUALA~
The spirit Qi started to pour into Lin Wu's body and was rapidly absorbed into it. It was carried by his meridians into his Dantian, where the Black Nascent soul was waving its hands.
As if a conductor in an orchestra, the Nascent soul controlled the nearly arrived spirit Qi and started to wave it around. Lin Wu had no control over it and was reduced to being the audience at this point.
"This is certainly strange…" Lin Wu muttered.
The palms of the nascent soul directed the spirit Qi to split apart and merge, as if the waves in a stormy sea. By splitting and merging it apart constantly, the spirit Qi started to condense more and more.
Soon its mass started to reduce and became smaller and smaller. In about an hour, it had reached the mass of a small marble and looked like a black orb.
The Nascent soul gestured his hand in an upward manner and the Black orb came to float in front of him. He held it in his palms in a praying gesture before pulling it apart.
~SHUA~
Instead of breaking apart, the small black orb started to expand evenly and soon became more and more translucent. Soon it reached the same volume as that of Lin Wu's previous Dao Shell outline and came to rest below the black Nascent soul.
The Nascent soul then turned around to look at the green nascent soul and stared at it for a few seconds before turning back and sitting down on the Black Dao Shell outline. Once it sat down, both the Nascent souls came back together to sit closer.
Expect this time they were not sitting fully back to back. The Dao Shell outlines below them started to revolve around a central point and the Nascent souls continued to sit on them.
Like a carousel, the two Nascent souls and Dao Shells kept on revolving while letting out very faint waves of energy that were rather rhythmic.
Lin Wu found the entire thing very strange and didn't know what to think of it.
"Well… that's over I think…" Lin Wu muttered.

Lin Wu felt far more powerful than before after breaking through but realized that his spirit Qi was the same overall. It was a strange feeling, and he didn't know what to think of it fully.
Only when he looked at the spirit Qi needed for the next upgrade did he realize something.
"Huh? The amount needed didn't increase?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The Shell Initiation stage is the shortest stage of the Dao Shell realm and as soon as the cultivator starts to use spirit Qi to form the Dao Shell, they would reach the Shell Genesis stage.
The Shell Initiation stage is mostly a realm for stabilization as the cultivator or beast decides what shape do they want their Dao Shell to be. The shell outline can still be modified in this stage and once the shell starts to form, it is hard to change its shape.
Thus, the cultivators spend time in finding the most suitable cultivation technique for them, if they don't have one or pick on the Dao that they would like to pursue so that the Dao Embryo can be raised later in the future.
——
Seeing the system's explanation, Lin Wu finally understood it.
"Hmm… so this is more of a preparatory stage. I guess for the average cultivator, even reaching this stage is a great thing and they may not have a technique that can take them beyond the Nascent soul realm. After all, only the Top tier techniques can allow one to reach the Dao Treading realm and above. As for the high grade ones, they will bring one to the Dao Shell realm with some luck while the mid grade ones will end at the Nascent Soul realm." Lin Wu muttered
He continued down the newly updated Host data and saw that one of his Qi skills had increased in proficiency as well.
"About time the Unity avatar Technique's proficiency increased, seems like using the fused form for a bit helped and the breakthrough finally pushed it ahead." Lin Wu said, feeling a bit pleased.
Other than this, the one last change that Lin Wu saw was that there was now a new section for Dao Shells. He had already seen that there were two Dao Shell outlines, one each for a Nascent soul.
This was the point where Lin Wu was confused about how he was apposed to proceed.
"So… do I need to upgrade both of them one at a time, or is the second one automatic system?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: Host only needs one of the Dao Shell's to be completed and a Dao Embryo to be born, in order to proceed to the Dao Treading realm. Though if both of the Dao Shells are completed and both Dao Embryos are formed, the host will have a stable cultivation base.
——
"~Sigh~… Guess this is the disadvantage that comes with multiple strong bloodlines. While they are strong, they will also restrict at the same time." Lin Wu said with a sigh.
"Hmm… though once I complete the Dao Shells, I think that should be enough for stability. After all one is free to have more than one Dao Embryo and Dao Shell as long as they are willing to make them of course.
This usually happens after they cross the Dao Treading realm though. But perhaps I can make use of it early one." Lin Wu analyzed.
He understood that he now had the opportunity to form more than one Dao Embryos. This would give him a wider scope of power, though he wondered which Dao was it that he would prefer to pursue.
Lin Wu would have to make his choice very prudently since this was something the system would mostly be unable to help him in. The growth of a Dao Embryo depended on both the spirit Qi as well as the individual control over the Dao embryo.
The first part was something the system could asset with, but the latter is something Lin Wu would have to master on his own.
'My progress will probably be slowing down at that point…' Lin Wu understood.
Having understood all these things, Lin Wu decided to take the next step forward.
"Alright, system. Let's not wait anytime and proceed to the next step already. We know what we are going to comprehend." Lin Wu said.

Lin Wu felt the spirit Qi in his meridians and Dantian flying up to the free Dao Shell in his Dantian. It was as if several strings of yarn were being wrapped around the Shell outline and they were getting merged slowly.
Lin Wu carefully observed as the Spirit Qi started to merge with the outline little by little. About an hour later, his entire Dao Shell outline had been covered and it had become a bit more corporeal.
~shua~
The spirit Qi then started to spin around the outline and spiraled to the bottom of the Spherical Dao Shell. Lin Wu had decided to keep his Dao Shell spherical in shape, as it was the shape that would be able to accommodate most of the Dao Embryos.
He didn't need any specialized shape as he could simply keep on increasing the size of the Dao Shell. Spirit Qi was one thing that Lin Wu had confidence in gathering. Thus he could take the Shell Expansion stage in stride and see if the Dao Embryo he was trying to make suited it or not.
If it was small, Lin Wu would expand it more. And if it fits perfectly, he would still expand it as the Embryo would grow more in the Embryo Growth Stage of the Dao Treading realm as well.
With these two things going hand in hand, Lin Wu had a solid plan ahead.

Lin Wu watched on as the yarn like spirit Qi condensed at the bottom of the shell and formed a small inverted dome. The dome was about five percent the size of the entire Dao Shell and was the initiating point of his Dao Shell now.

And with this, Lin Wu was now successfully at the second stage of the Dao Shel realm, the Shell Genesis stage. Of course, this was just for one of his Dao Shell's and he still had the second Dao Shell that needed to progress as well.
"SHEEEEESH!!!" Lin Wu exclaimed, seeing the spirit Qi needed for the upgrade.
"Bro… that's like… nearly seven times the last stage, Damn!" Lin Wu cursed.
~DING~
——
REMINDER: The Shell Completion stage has no specific spirit Qi requirement for upgrade and the Shell Expansion stage has no limit to the spirit Qi that can be used. This is the only stage in which the host will have a set spirit Qi limit.
——
After reading this, Lin Wu felt a bit more relieved, though he was certainly taken aback. Seeing such a huge number was certainly shocking to him. After all, he had obtained all this spirit Qi after ten years of cultivation and eating the Olive Viper King.
"This will just keep on getting longer and longer won't it… seems like that lifespan will finally start getting used up." Lin Wu said to himself in preparation.
Lin Wu also recalled that this was just one of the Dao Shells and he had another one.
"No, wait… three Dao Shells. The Avatar will have one too." Lin Wu recalled.
'Though with the avatar, it should be a bit simpler as it would also be able to cultivate on its own later.' Lin Wu reckoned.
While he had broken through, Lin Wu was not done.
"Let's bring back the avatar as well. Can't let it stay lagging behind too much." Lin Wu said and triggered the formation array.
~SHUA~
Runes appeared as the teleportation formation brought Lin Wu's Avatar back.
Lin Wu observed the Avatar and his main body. After the cultivation upgrade, his body had actually not increased in size. Which now Lin Wu understood that only came at some substantial points.
'Hmm… at least I won't get uncontrollably big.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
Having observed the Avatar for a minute, he deiced to proceed.
"Alright system, do the same for the Avatar. Go as far as you can!" Lin Wu ordered.

"AGAIN! We got plenty of spirit Qi here." Lin Wu ordered.

~SHUA~
A far stronger pressure exuded from the avatar's body as its spirit Qi started to rush towards the Nascent soul. But this was not all, as the atmospheric spirit Qi also joined into the fray and added to the turbulent siltation.
"Oh? It's growing in size as well." Lin Wu realized.
He could see that the size of the avatar was increasing slowly, and its mass was increasing by the minute. While he knew that the avatar won't reach the same size as his main body, it would still be a lot when he fused with it again.
Just in the Nascent Soul realm, Lin Wu had the confidence to fight several Nascent soul realm beasts at once if he was in the fused form, he couldn't even begin to imagine just what level he would be on once he fused in the Dao Shell realm.
"Best watch it myself later." Lin Wu said as the avatar continued to grow and the Dao Shell's outline started to form.
It was here that Lin Wu realized the Dao Shell's outline was different for the avatar. Unlike the green or black Dao Shell outlines, the Avatar's outline was a common translucent white, just like that of most cultivators.
"Well, it's not like this is a defect, anyway.." Lin Wu said as he saw the jumping numbers.

——
Lin Wu read the updated Avatar data and saw that it was relatively the same as before, with the only exception being the spirit Qi needed for the next stage being lower and the Dao shell being of a normal type.
He also got to see the exact difference in the dimensions of the avatar now.
"Huh… it is more than twice as heavy and a fifty percent longer." Lin Wu learned.
Lin Wu got closer to the avatar and probed it with his spirit sense again and saw that its Dantian was bigger than before as well. Though he guessed that it would probably keep on expanding more.
"Now this should be enough for me to be prepared." Lin Wu said as he looked around the forest.
Since he was at the top of the tomb, he had a rather wide view of everything in the sixth ring. Of course, the trees hid most things but with the monitoring formations, Lin Wu had no difficulty.
~shua~shua~shua~
Several monitoring windows appeared around him and he saw the beasts of the forest. Some of them seemed to be scared, some seemed shocked, and some were just indifferent.
The ones that were scared were the core condensation realm beasts. The ones that were shocked were the Nascent soul realm beasts, while all that were at the Qi refining realm were indifferent.
Unlike the Nascent soul realm, where the heavenly tribulation would terrify all beasts, the Dao Shell realm did not have as big of an impact. The Nascent soul realm beasts and Core condensation realm beasts were only discovered because of the movement of the spirit Qi.
The thunderclouds that had appeared earlier were nothing much, since they could be seen at other times as well. Rain did happen in the forest and the beasts would just think it was something like that.
Lin Wu also paid some attention to the territory of the Lamp Light ligers to see what they were doing and found them to be wary. They were looking in the direction of the tomb and were certainly alert.
"Hmm… so he still won't come out." Lin Wu said, thinking of the Twin Lights liger king.
Lin Wu watched everything for a bit before deciding that it was fine for him to return to his tasks and that there was nothing unexpected happening.
~shua~
Teleportation runes appeared around him and he returned to the hall he was in. The avatar was sent to the room it was in before so that it could continue to cultivate. Lin Wu knew that the next stage would take a while to reach and for his main body, it would be even more distant.
He had just pushed one of his Dao Shells to the Shell genesis stage, so anything for his main body will take twice as long for him to progress in. His avatar though, would be able to get the needed spirit Qi far before that.
'Even if it would be able to upgrade to the next stage before the main body, I will be able to do so immediately when my main body is read. Not to mention the other cultivation techniques can still be upgraded using it.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
Lin Wu thought about what to do next and recalled that he still had something that could provide him a lot of spirit Qi.
"System, bring me all the corpses of the Southern Tusk Tapirs and the Silver Tusk Tapir king." Lin Wu ordered.
~shua~
~thud~thud~thud~
In the next second, the teleportation formations were triggered one after the other as beast carcasses started to appear. All of them were rather large and dropped with a thud on the ground.
Thankfully, the ground was very tough and would not be damaged just because of this. Though Lin Wu was still surprised by the amount of corpses.
"Hmm… System, you only kept the nascent soul realm corpses and the one Dao Shell realm corpse?" Lin Wu questioned after seeing the relatively smaller number.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The economic cost of preserving other corpses was not worth, and it was a far better option to give it to the other beasts in the forest so that they could restore their strength quicker.
——
The system's answer seemed valid to Lin Wu, and he was fine with it. He knew that the other beasts were the ones who would have to defend the forest and it was better for them to eat the corpses than for them to be kept in storage for years.
"That's fine I reckon." Lin Wu said before looking at the corpses and counting them.
There were about twenty six Nascent soul realm Southern Tusk Tapir beasts and one Dao Shell realm Silver Tusk Tapir king corpse here. There were actually more Nascent soul realm Southern tusk tapir beasts, but they had appeared in the other parts of the forest and were claimed as spoils by the beasts that defended there.
Lin Wu was fine with this and didn't mind sharing that much.

Lin Wu looked at the corpses that were still frozen solid.
"Need to defrost them first." Lin Wu said. "And I got the perfect thing for that." He added.
He simply waved his tail as radiation manipulation was activated. The water molecules in the corpse started to vibrate and heat up. The ice quickly started to melt, and the corpses were getting warm from the inside.
Due to Lin Wu's microwave radiation being intense, the inside of the corpses heated up way quicker than the outside ice. By the time the outside ice was fully melted, the inside was already cooked.
Five minutes later, the process was complete and Lin Wu was now free to eat.
"Let's get to eating… meal time." Lin Wu said as he opened his mouth wide.
~MUNCH~
~CRUNCH~
~GOBBLES~
Various sounds were heard as Lin Wu ate all the corpses one by one. He started from the Nascent soul realm ones and only after finishing all of them did he head on to the Silver Tusk tapir beast's corpse.
This was the very first Dao Shell realm beast he was going to eat and was thus quite excited.
~CRACK~
~CRUNCH~
Since the corpse of the Silver Tusk Tapir was far bigger than the others, it took Lin Wu longer to eat. Not to mention, its bones were also tougher and made it harder to eat. Still… under the grinding of Lin Wu's crystal teeth that literally moved like a grinder, the bones were eventuality pulverized.
"Ahh~ that was a nice meal. It was cooked too, though not evenly. I'll need to focus on my microwave cooking more, I remember being rather good at cooking food in the microwave before." Lin Wu said as he lounged on the ground.
He felt rather bloated and knew that he had truly eaten quite bit.
"Let's see what's the change now." Lin Wu said as he pulled out the notification.
The notification would always keep on stacking and Lin Wu could choose to see them whenever. He had set filters for them so that he would only see the most important ones right away while the minor ones will be directly added to the long.

~phew~
"That's good enough, but won't put much of a dent on the amount I need for the upgrade to the next stage. Though it might be just enough for the Black Dao Shell to be upgraded." Lin Wu muttered.
Lin Wu thought of if he should upgrade the second Dao Shell as well, but decided to wait for now.
'I'll wait for now. If I need it in a pinch, I'll be able to use it then.' Lin Wu thought.
Lin Wu also got a decent amount of Vital essence which would help him sustain himself for a long time and also help in healing himself when the need arises.
"Hmm… the vital essence was less than I thought. It should probably be because the corpses have been kept frozen for that long. They do lose vital essence even then." Lin Wu guessed.
With this task out of the way, Lin Wu decided to take care of the tasks that were related to the others now.
"Hmm… the disciples of the Frozen cloud sect… wonder if they will qualify the trials of the Taiji Celestial too." Lin Wu wondered as he looked at the monitor window.
There he could see the disciples sitting in the shrine of the Sky Bright Daoist. They had now been living there for about ten years now, which was not that much when compared to the lifespan of the cultivators.
'Did the Frozen Cloud sect not ask anything about them? They've been gone for a while now, or did they perhaps inform them beforehand.' Lin Wu wondered.
He also thought about contacting Wang Xiong, but decided against it. He wanted to deal with that a bit later and wanted to be done with the tasks that were closer at hand first.
"Hmm, the eight of them are still in the process of obtaining the inheritance of the Sky bright Daoist. The five are still trying to pass the last trail and the two are cultivating privately, probably waiting for me." Lin Wu observed.
After watching them for a minute, Lin Wu decided to talk to the 'Monk'ey beast again.
~shua~
"Congratulations on breaking through, Master!" The 'Monk'ey beast said out loud.
"Thank you," Lin Wu casually said
The 'Monk'ey beast looked at Lin Wu and found him to be different from before. He didn't question him, but did notice that the aura of Lin Wu had increased once more.
"You called for me for something, master?" The 'Monk'ey beast asked.
"Time to get the two disciples," Lin Wu replied.
"You are willing to let them take the trials of the Taiji Celestial?" The 'Monk'ey beast questioned.
"Mmmhmm, they've waited long enough." Lin Wu answered.
"Then I'll get them. Do I need to tell them anything to prepare them or will master be talking to them himself?" The 'Monk'ey beast asked for confirmation.
"Hmm… bring them in. I'll talk to them myself a little interaction won't hurt." Lin Wu replied.
"As you wish, master." The 'Monk'ey beast said before teleporting away.
Lin Wu had gotten a bit bored and wanted to interact with the humans. He wanted to also know more about the two disciples and what was actually going on with Wang Xiong and the situation at the Frozen cloud sect.
He also wanted to know the results of the mission that they had embarked on and how much the sect knew about the tomb now and the beasts of the forest as well.
Report chapter
The two disciples, Xiaoge and Jun did not know the events that were going to happen soon. The two of them were deep in mediation and were focusing on improving their cultivation as much as they could.
They had rejected the inheritance of the Sky Bright Daoist and were instead going to go ahead and take the trials of the Taiji Celestial. They actually didn't even know that the place they were going to was the tomb of the Taiji Celestial.
Neither did they know the name Taiji Celestial either. They simply knew that they were going to go to the tomb of a mighty figure and that the said figure was the one who had given Wang Xiong, their senior brother and Chief disciple of the Frozen Cloud sect, the power that he had now.
Wang Xiong was an idol for most disciples that came from lower backgrounds or those that did not have any backing. He was similar to them and had no unique thing about him. He had come from a peasant background and had reached the position he was in on his own.
He had kept his head low at first, but then decided to go against those that opposed and suppressed him. It took him many years to build up this courage as well as he used to be afraid about the more influential disciples from the sect harming his family back in the secular world.
While doing so was against the rules of the sect and could get one punished, for cultivators, there were many ways they could kill someone. They didn't even need to do it personally.
Simply paying off some bandits and letting them raid the village where the family of their target lived was an easy enough way of doing so. The sect wouldn't really have a way to verify that it was done intentionally, as most of the time, the said bandits would then be killed by the law enforcement or passing by cultivators with a sense of 'justice'.
But for Wang Xiong, who was a cultivator, after a few decades passed, his family had passed away leaving him alone. After that, he had nothing to hold him back and he decided to push back against all that opposed him.
This was all that the disciples had learned after he became the chief disciple. His story was well researched by both the enemy camp and the disciples that were liking him. They wanted to know more about him, wanted to know what made him tick and what were his preference.
His situation was very relatable to the disciples from common backgrounds or those with weaker ones. Disciple Jun who was the leader this time, was one such person and was the son of a village chief as well.
While the position was a village chief might be rather high in that village or the area around it; for the sect, as long as someone was a mortal commoner, they were the same. If a king was a mortal too, they wouldn't care either.
As for Xiaoge, she was from a small branch of the Tian clan. The Tian clan was a mostly reclusive clan and not many things were known about it around the world. They did know that they had some Nascent soul realm cultivators and perhaps even a Dao Shell realm cultivator, but nothing beyond that.
The Main branch of the Tian clan didn't even appear in the common world most of the time and depended on their branches to do things. What people didn't know was that the members of the branch clans weren't even related by blood to the main clan.
Rather, they were just descendants of servants who had managed to gain some honor and merit in the main branch of the Tian clan and were bestowed the surname. From there on, they would be made into the patriarch of the branch clan and given certain resources along with the duties that they would need to fulfill.
Their main duty was to handle the things with the secular world and interactions with the other clans and sects. They would procure items and make deals with the people all around as per the need.
This way, the people of the main clan focused on themselves for most of the time and didn't interfere with the otherworld. Because of this, most cultivators didn't even know of the power of the main branch of the Tian clan.
This was the same for the members of the branch clans as well. Except for a few, everyone thought that the Tian clan was a common mid tier cultivator clan. But Xiaoge was one of the exceptions.
She was the granddaughter of one of the branches of the Tian clan and knew a lot more. From childhood, she was interested in myths and stories of the old. She had read her clan's library from top to bottom several times and knew almost everything.
Along with her being the granddaughter, she also had access to some of the more secret records as well. While her talent wasn't too outstanding, it was decent enough that the patriarch allowed her to gain some higher knowledge as well.
She thus had access to the hidden records of her clan and managed to learn something about the Millennium forest. It was a very old record and most of the contents in it were faded.
But she did learn that the place calls as the Millennium forest has a big secret behind it. It was actually called by a completely different name. Xiaoge had even thought that the place was not the forest at first.
Only after comparing the locations and cross referencing it did she confirm the fact that the place was the millennium forest.
The name that it was called was what caught her attention. It was called as the 'Dark Celestial's Tomb'.
The name certainly brought forth many questions in one's mind and Xiaoge was no different.. She tried to find more, but failed.
Report chapter
Xiaoge would have never through that almost thirty years after she had read about the Millennium forest she would learn of someone that had managed to gain something from there.
This person was none other than the disciple named as Wang Xiong. She originally did not know much about the man, but had gotten interested after learning that there were rumors about him gaining a certain inheritance there.
It was unknown which expert it belonged to, but Xiaoge felt alarm bells ringing in her mind after learning of that. Her memories of many years ago came rushing back and her curiosity ignited again.
She had not told anyone about what she had learned about the millennium forest, as she herself was not fully convinced. Plus it wasn't something that was too outstanding either and did not require the patriarch or others of her clan to be disturbed.
Thus, she just let it go back then. But now, after discovering this, there was no way she would let go of it. She had always been interested in the myths and old tales and this was the best way to learn more about it.
And thus, Xiaoge did her best to get close to chief disciple Wang Xiong. After several months of effort, she managed to join the camp that the man had decided to make. She had met Wang Xiong a couple of times, but had been unable to ask him about the tomb or anything about it.
Her innate shyness and lack of a proper opportunity were behind it, mostly. Though she also knew that there was a great chance Wang Xiong might get offended instead. She did not want to spoil the relation between them, especially since Wang Xiong had a great status now.
Rather than doing that, Xiaoge decided to wait for a perfect opportunity. And this opportunity presented to her as the mission that was put forth by the sect. Many disciples were going to join it and try to find the secret inheritance of the Millennium forest and she was no different.
She was even more shocked when she learned that Wang Xiong would be personally selecting some of the disciples under him to go on the mission as well. Not only this, but he also gave them some insight into the things about the forest and how they would have to deal with them.
It was because of that they had managed to get this far without losing any of their members. It was Wang Xiong's tip that they should enter from the west of the forest, unlike the others that had entered from the south, even though it was the longer path.
They were very lucky and the obstacles they faced were still enough for them to overcome with relative ease. Even when they found the shrine of the Sky Bright Daoist, they had not thought that they would gain the inheritance.
The events after that were a bit traumatic for them as they ended up suffering a lot mentally. They were tested on their willpower and mentality at each point and those that did not qualify had still not passed the trials.
Xiaoge was appalled at the difficulty level of the trials and thought that even the Frozen Cloud sect's own official trials were not this hard. She wondered if they were given the chance to take those too, if they would find them easily or not.
But what she was more worried about was the fact that the main inheritance they had come for wasn't even seen by them yet. There were still more trials for them to take, and she was a bit anxious about how they were going to be.
So far, they had not suffered any physical harm and thus were fine. But Xiaoge was not sure if the tomb's trials would be the same or not. She was worried that she might be too weak for them.
Disciple Jun who was their leader right now, was at the Nascent Soul realm and was far stronger than her and thus he had a better chance at succeeding than her. But even then, she did not want to give up and thus decided to cultivate.
Thankfully, the beast who was also the caretaker/monk of the shrine did not force them to take them right away and had given them time to rest. She of course, did not know that it was intentional on the side of the 'Monk'ey beast as Lin Wu was in seclusion.
But now, she was about to be ordered to go there.
"Wake up," A voice was heard in the hall that the two disciples were sitting in.
Jun and Xiaoge opened their eyes and saw the monk standing in front of them.
"What is it, senior?" Jun questioned.
"It is time for you two to attempt the trials of the Taiji Celestial." The 'Monk'ey beast answered.
"Huh? So fast? I thought we could wait a few more months." Jun said.
"Things have changed and you are getting an opportunity earlier. Do you not want to take it?" The 'Monk'ey beast questioned, raising his brows.
"NO! No, no, Senior! We'll take it!" Jun hurriedly said.
He feared that the next opportunity might take a long time or something else might come up before that. Thus, he did not want to waste this chance. They had already rested for over ten months now and thus had recovered mentally from the trauma of the trials of the Sky Bright Daoist.
He and Xiaoge were the first two to pass the trials and thus had the longest time to prepare. The same could not be said for his fellow disciples and it had taken two months after they passed for the next person to pass it.
The last person to pass the trial had only done so half a month ago, thus they were still not fully done with this place.
But now the two of them had the chance to proceed further.
"What do we do now, senior? Where is the next location of the trials?" Xiaoge asked curiously.
Report chapter
The 'Monk'ey beast looked at the two disciples with a slight smile on his face and spoke, "come, I'll take you there myself."
"Um, okay senior." Xiaoge said, finding the 'Monk'ey beast to be a bit different today.
Not only was his appearance slightly different, his aura seemed to have increased as well. She could not place her finger on it, but there was a certain change that was hard to tell that.
Disciple Jun looked at the 'Monk'ey beast as well and observed the beast/master that had been hosting and guiding them in the past few years. He had seen him enough to learn that the beast was far more clever than he showed.
Jun was reminded of the elders back in the sect that were always scheming yet never let it be shown on their faces. While it was hard to tell that, there was a certain presence to people such as these that Jun could feel.
And it was the same feeling that he got from the 'Monk'ey beast as well. The said beast had not even given them a name, and had just asked them to call him a monk. Jun noticed that Xiaoge had felt something as well and knew that there was something up with the 'Monk'ey beast.
In the past ten years, he had gotten to learn of his fellow disciples and now knew them very well. Of them all, he had come to learn that Xiaoge was the most knowledgeable of them all and also had a rather strong tenacity.
She could pick up on fine cues that he could not desperate having a higher cultivation base. Thus he knew more than to trust on her judgment now.
"So how do we go there, Senior?" Jun asked as well.
"Just stand where you are," the 'Monk'ey beast said.
Jun furrowed his brows and suddenly felt something.
~SHUA~
Waves of spirit Qi rose from the ground and runes started to appear in the air.
"Huh? Formation runes?" Jun questioned as his brows furrowed.
He tried to recognize what runes these were and what formation did they belong to, but he was unable to. This was rather shocking to him as in these few years that he had spent doing the trials, he had gotten to see a lot of runes and formations that were already considered to be rare.
Some of them were something he doubted even the elders of his sect would be able to identify. And even then, he had seen them enough to learn about them now. Thus it was far shocking to him than it was for Xiaoge who saw it from a different perspective.
~HONG~
The runes quickly arranged themselves into a formation that surrounded them. The two of them couldn't even react before they found themselves feeling light, almost weightless.
"W-what… teleportation?" Jun finally realized.
He had actually seen teleportation formations before but none like this. The runes used were completely different and the entire formation had activated with ease. All teleportation formations that he had seen till now needed a very specific control mechanism and would only work in set locations.
But in the current case, there were no such things here. The runes had appeared out of thin air with just a wave of the 'Monk'ey beast's hand. There also seemed to be almost no spirit Qi consumption either.
~SHUA~
And while Jun thought all this, he found his vision going dark. Then about a second later he found the scene in front of him change. Instead of the shrine hall that he was in before he was now in the middle of a forest.
But that was not all, as in front of him was a large hill. It towered up into the sky beyond the canopies of the tall trees. Then there was a structure built at the base of it at the front of which he was standing.
He could see a wide gate built into the hill which extended into a cave of some sort. There were hundreds of thousands of bones lying around. They were piled up into small hills as well and gave the area a dangerous vibe.
"It cannot be…" Suddenly the voice of a girl could be heard coming from the side, prompting Jun to gaze at her.
"What's the matter Xiaoge? Did you sense something?" Jun asked.
"This… tomb… it is the true trial ground," Xiaoge said, changing her words mid way.
She had actually thought of something else but did not want to reveal it to Jun here and thus changed it.
'There's no doubt. This must be the tomb of the Dark Celestial.' Xiaoge thought, remembering the records that she had read.
"Go on, enter it. You two are already qualified to do that, the barrier won't stop you." The 'Monk'ey beast said from the back.
"Are you not coming senior?" Jun questioned.
"This is as far as I can go, the rest is for you two to do." The 'Monk'ey beast answered.
~GULP~
Jun and Xiaoge swallowed down the anxiety they were feeling and nodded their heads.
"We'll head ahead then senior. Is there perhaps anything we should know or you want to tell us?" Xiaoge asked while at the edge of the barrier.
"I don't. You'll learn the rest inside." The 'Monk'ey beast said prompting the two to enter.
~RIPPLE~
The Barriers opened up and allowed the two to pass through them with ease. They stepped in and continued walking until they had fully entered the cave. Once they were gone though, teleportation runes appeared once again and surrounded the 'Monk'ey beast.
He disappeared with the formation and appeared in a certain hall inside the tomb.
"It is done, master." The 'Monk'ey beast stated.
In front of him stood none other than Lin Wu. His back was facing the beast and he seemed to be focused on something.
If one looked, they would see several windows floating in the air in front of Lin Wu.
"Time to get started then.." Lin Wu said.
