After the two days had passed, Wang Xiong received a message from the sect.
"Looks like they are in trouble now." Wang Xiong informed.
"Oh? They can't hold on anymore?" Lin Wu asked.
"Our people at the sect just told me that the Frozen Cliff Division was looking for us everywhere. They, of course, couldn't go to our division and ask about our whereabouts, thus they could only utilize their own people.
This also ended up catching the attention of the others at the sect, including the Frozen Plains divisions. While they don't do anything and interfere in our matters usually, my disappearance is still something they would have to care about.
After all, if I disappear due to the actions of the Frozen Cliff division, their neutrality would be threatened and they might end up being forced to join the Frozen Cliff division." Wang Xiong answered.
"Hmm… so things are going as we hoped for." Lin Wu said with a nod.
"Then do we wait more or go to the sect now, Senior?" Ye Jin questioned.
"Yun Bai has not responded yet, so I'll wait here for now. You two can head on. Waiting too long is not good either and your division might get disturbed as well." Lin Wu answered.
"Very well then. We shall leave right away." Wang Xiong stated.
Lin Wu nodded his head and let them leave.
"Thank you for teaching us the past two days, senior. We are really grateful and will make use of all that you taught us." Ye Jin said in a thankful tone.
After saying this one bit, the two of them flew away and Lin Wu watched them on the map.
~huu~
"That was slightly tense… though it went better than I thought. My Dao of bullshitting worked!" Lin Wu said, feeling pleased with himself.
He had tried his best to come up with things to teach them and thankfully they were okay with anything, even if it was not related to cultivation. This made his work easier and even helped him revise his own thoughts and knowledge.
"Now then… where the heck is Yun Bai?" Lin Wu said, finding it a big strange.
'Should I head on there and check it out myself?' Lin Wu wondered.
While he had the approximate location of the Grotto where Yun Bai and his clan resided, he also knew that there were some dangerous formation arrays protecting it. Yun Bai had briefly told him about them and how they only allowed those of the Frost Fox demon beast bloodline.
After thinking for a bit though, he made up his mind.
"Well, even if I can't enter that place, there is no restriction in me just being near it. Perhaps I'll get to learn something more if I'm closer." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
Having made this decision, Lin Wu looked at the beast that was sleeping in one of the corners.
"Wake up Tim! We're leaving." Lin Wu called out.
~KIII~
Tim groggily shook his head as his ears perked up after hearing Lin Wu's voice.
"Leave?" Tim repeated.
"Yeah, we're leaving, we're going to find someone." Lin Wu replied.
"Food?" Tim questioned.
"Ah right!" Lin Wu said as he quickly created a new crystal fragment and tossed it to Tim.
~CRUNCH~
Tim easily caught it and started munching on it. In less than a minute, he had finished it and got energized.
~KIKIKIKI~
His eyes glimmered, and the sleepiness that he had disappeared quickly.
"Damn… its like he just downed a triple shot espresso." Lin Wu said, seeing the rapid change in Tim.
"HEAD WHERE!?" Tim asked excitedly.
"Well… just follow me I guess." Lin Wu said before he flew out.
His large body startled some of the birds and animals that were living outside of the sinkhole.
~WOONG~
~CHIRP~ CHIRP~
Lin Wu's rising body created a gust of wind and so did Tim, who's speed shook the trees as he passed by them.
"Now then… where is that place…" Lin Wu muttered as he gazed at the map.
He followed the system's instructions and made his way to an area that was about three hundred kilometers to the south of the sect. With their speed, Lin Wu reached the area in less than two hours. They could have gotten there earlier, but they had to avoid certain areas as there were disciples of the sect or other commoners living there.
"There it is!" Lin Wu said as he spotted the river.
The grotto where the Frost Fox demon beast clan lived was hidden behind an illusory formation array near this river. The river passed between several hills and carved out a valley between them.
The grotto was located in this valley and was sensed by the system after a little search.
~DING~
——
TARGET DETECTED: Updating map
NOTIFICATION: Daze Light Illusory formation array detected, Flare Bombardment Formation Array detected, Great Waterfall Formation array detected.
——
"Damn, those are some strong formation arrays. Not even the sect has formation arrays as strong as this." Lin Wu muttered.
Lin Wu could recall having read about these formation arrays and could tell that they were of the same class as the ones that were in the Taiji Celestial's tomb. Which was way beyond the normal standard of this world.
"How long will it take you to decipher and analyze them, system?" Lin Wu wondered.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The estimated time period of decryption and analysis is 7 days, 16 hours, and 43 minutes.
——
~Sigh~
"So even if I want to enter it, it will still take a while." Lin Wu said with a sign. "Best just wait here for him. And maybe try sending a message, maybe it can work at this range." He muttered.
Tim though, was restless and wanted to do something a bit more exciting than just waiting here. Lin Wu looked at him and knew that he was like a child on sweet coffee.
"Go and hunt something, just avoid humans. But don't go close to those hills." Lin Wu spoke.
"Hunt! hunt! Hunt time!" Tim ran away in excitement just as he received permission.
Report chapter
Lin Wu ended up waiting near the grotto for about three days before he finally sensed something.
"Oh? It's changing." Lin Wu was woken up from his cultivation as some spirit Qi fluctuations reached him.
He looked at the location where the grotto was supposedly located and saw the air cracking.
~flicker~
"Hmm, so that's were it exactly is." Lin Wu muttered as he watched it open.
The cracks kept on expanding until finally a three meter wide hole was created. Nothing could be seen behind it other than just darkness. From this very hole appeared an old man.
"Yun Bai," Lin Wu called out.
Yun Bai who had just stepped out of the grotto was alarmed, having heard someone call his name. But in the next instant, he found the familiar presence.
"You're here?" Yun Bai questioned.
"I couldn't contact you, the communication jade slip didn't work. Thus I had no option but to wait here." Lin Wu answered once Yun Bai came to stand in front of him.
"Did something happen?" Yun Bai questioned.
"A lot actually…" Lin Wu answered.
"Hmm… tell me everything." Yun Bai requested and came to sit on a rock.
~huu~
Lin Wu took a deep breath before he began his explanation of all that had happened. From the weasel beast Tim, to the Frozen Cliff divisions action. The more Yun Bai heard, the more cold his expression got.
~Sigh~
"Seems like they are really not going to follow the rules of the sect in the end…" Yun Bai muttered.
"The way they followed behind Wang Xiong and Ye Jin is enough of an offense isn't it? I mean… secretly following behind the chief disciple who would likely be the patriarch in the future, doesn't that point to treason in a way?" Lin Wu suggested.
Yun Bai didn't say much to that, but from his expression, it could be told that he was certainly thinking the same.
"Anyways… did you find anything in your clan's archives?" Lin Wu questioned.
"I did indeed." Yun Bai said before taking out some old scrolls that were made from bamboo strips.
Lin Wu saw it and could tell that they were really ancient.
"These are the records?" Lin Wu asked.
"Yes, it took me a while to find them. I never thought they would actually be one of the few hand written records that we never added to jade slips." Yun Bai replied.
"Let's see then…" Lin Wu said before unraveling the scroll.
Each scroll was about five meters long, once opened and had quite a bit of information written on it. Each bamboo strip had at least five to seven lines written on it and the language used was an older dialect too.
"Can you read this? Or do you need me to translate?" Yun Bai asked, seeing as how Lin Wu stared at the scrolls.
"I understand it, so no need." Lin Wu said as he let the system translate it quickly.
~DING~

The system finished its work, and Lin Wu saw the analyzed information appearing on a window in front of him.
There were several different sections of information and Lin Wu started with the one that was first in the window.
The records told about the history of the invaders and how the things happened. The author of the records was one of the ancestors of the Frost Fox clan and had written about what he had seen and experienced.
Apparently, when the invasion originally occurred, there were several alliances of invaders who commonly chose to invade the Ming Dao world. To them, the Ming Dao world was a hidden treasure trove which had gone unnoticed because there had not been anyone impressive arriving from it.
The Skull god made up a little story, which was enough to get them interested. Besides, the invaders wouldn't mind even if there wasn't anything special about the Ming Dao world. To them, it would still be enough if they got the natural resources of the world.
Of all the invaders, there was a particular group called as the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber. It was this group that brought the Frost Fox clan to the Ming Dao world as slaves. The Frost Fox clan had been controlled by them for a long time before and had been used as soldiers and cannon fodder in many worlds before it.
To the Frost Fox clan, this was just a regular thing, and they had been habituated to it. But what they never realized that all this was being orchestrated by someone they didn't even know if.
The invaders that attacked the Ming Dao world would have never attempted it if they knew it was the Skull god who had an eye on it. The Skull god didn't have a good reputation and if they associated with them, they would be targeted by the righteous powers.
Plus, they didn't know that the four guardian beasts had already sent their beacons to this world. They would never attempt an invasion with them being there. In fact, even if the temple had not been established, and the beasts were not summoned, they would still not dare to take over if just the dormant beacons were present.
It was far too much of a risk that they would rather not take.
In a way, the Skull god had tricked the invaders, the people of the Ming Dao world and also the guardian beasts. Lin Wu couldn't help but admire the man on some level. Manipulation of that level while also taking a risk on his own was not an easy task to do.
After the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber arrived, they began their work and first took over a certain area in the Ming Dao world. This area located near to where Lin Wu and Yun Bai were right now.
'Hmm… makes sense that the Grotto has such strong defenses. It was originally made by the invaders as a base for them to use. But after they lost, they abandoned it, allowing the Frost Fox clan to take over..' Lin Wu thought.
Report chapter
Lin Wu continued to read and got to learn more about the reality.
The invaders were winning for the most part due to their overall superiority and advanced skills, but that was until the three clans gained control of the beacons and awakened the guardian beasts.
That was also why the invaders didn't resist as much, even if they had the power to. They simply didn't want to deal with the four guardian beasts.
There was specifically written that the Leader of the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber cursed to no end when he found out there were already beacons of the guardian beasts here.
He swore to kill seven generations of whoever it was that spread the rumor about the Ming Dao world being free from the influence of the Four Guardian beasts.
While they were a bit confused by the fact that only three of them had appeared and there was no sign of the Vermillion bird, they didn't dare to investigate that. To them, escaping was the most important thing, and they quickly abandoned everything and left the world.
"Hmm… so it seems like the Frost Fox clan got freed because of the Guardian beasts too." Lin Wu said after he finished reading.
"You could say that, yes. But at the same time, it was those guardian beasts that made us unable to grow here. If it were not for them, the world would not have considered as outsiders.
Their appearance has said to have awakened the world's will and made it rapidly grow." Yun Bai spoke.
"I see, so they are both your fortune and misfortune." Lin Wu understood.
Yun Bai nodded his head, and Lin Wu went back to reading.
This time the information that he was looking at was about what was done with the things that were left behind by the invaders.
"Just as I thought, the top clans became the top clans for a reason. They took over all that was left behind by the invaders. Them sealing and destroying all those things was just for show and they never actually did that." Lin Wu said after reading it.
"Indeed. I was surprised by this too. The top clans, not just of this continent but of the other two as well have it." Yun Bai agreed.
"Then it just means that the agitation jade is something that only the top clans would know about. Which reduces it to just a handful of targets." Lin Wu said after thinking.
"Indeed. But why do I feel like you know more than just that?" Bai Yun asked, feeling something.
"Hmm… I admit I know a bit more. That letter Wang Xiong found from the spy, it mentions a name Weiyuan." Lin Wu replied.
"And?" Yun Bai inquired.
"That Weiyuan is actually the eldest son of the Ji clan, Ji Yuan. He has an organization of his own called as the Weiyuan Chamber." Lin Wu revealed.
"THOSE GUYS?" Yun Bai exclaimed.
"Oh? Have you had some interaction with them?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Yes…" Yun Bai said, as his forehead wrinkled.
"What happened?" Lin Wu asked.
"The Weiyuan chamber actually asked the Frozen Cloud sect for some land a long time ago. Of course, they only put in a formal request and there was no demanding nature in it. They were fully willing to buy it at a reasonable price." Yun Bai answered.
"Hmm… and I'm guessing the sect denied it?" Lin Wu surmised.
"They did, of course! I myself rejected it when the patriarch informed me. It would be against the terms that I set with the founder and besides, I would never allow someone else that I do not have control over from existing near the Frozen Cloud sect as it could very well threaten my own clan." Yun Bai stated.
"And what happened after they were rejected? Did they protest?" Lin Wu questioned.
"No, they did nothing. They simply sent a letter of thanks and we had no interaction after that." Yun Bai explained.
"And the sect never investigated more about them?" Lin Wu asked.
"We did after a while yes, and we found out that they had some suspicion dealings with people. They were a new power and were just establishing them, thus we let them be. A lot of new powers need to do some… Grey things in order to raise their status, which was understandable.
Plus, the sect still didn't know who was backing them and thud didn't want to bring extra trouble to them. We let go of that matter and forgot about it pretty much." Yun Bai replied.
"Until now," Lin Mu added.
"Until now indeed. If I knew they would attempt something like this, I would not have let them free." Yun Bai said in a cold tone.
"And they now have expanded enough to have people all over the continent." Lin Wu spoke.
"Hmm… they certainly knew about the hidden layer in the Di Guan mines beforehand. Otherwise they would not have been trying for so long." Yun Bai replied.
"I mean, they tried the official route and were rejected, thus they switched to a longer and illegal one. But yeah, the things in the Di Guan mines are definitely enough to make anyone greedy for them." Lin Wu stated.
"With the earthen Depths obsidian there, it is more than enough for the sects to break out in a war. Which makes me wonder how did they even find out about it? The mineral is very hard to find as it prevents spirit sense." Yun Bai wondered.
"Well, since Ji Yuan is from one of the top clans, I reckon he discovered about it in some old records? The invaders certainly had better skills that would allow them to find such things hidden away in the ground.
They may have noted them down but never got to mining them since they had other things to take care of back then." Lin Wu hypothesized.
"Hmm… that combined with the agitation jade would mean that this Ji Yuan has access to quite a few records. We will have to be careful then.." Yun Bai spoke in a serious tone.
Report chapter
Lin Wu and Yun Bai talked a bit more about the records before finally the man had a question.
"Now, where is this beast you brought with you? The weasel?" Yun Bai questioned.
Lin Wu had told him about Tim and how it had mutated in a different way. He was hoping to see if a long lived demon beast like Yun Bai would have some insight into it as it would certainly help the system too.
"Ah yes, let me see where he is. He's out hunting… because he's hungry all the time." Lin Wu said as he opened the map and tracked the location of Tim.
"Oh? He's not that far." Lin Wu realized.
His spirit sense quickly extended and went to touch Tim, who was currently munching on a couple of beast carcasses.
~KIII!~
Tim was a bit startled by the spirit sense suddenly arriving, but then recognized it. He looked at the corpses and back at the source of the spirit sense, as if debating on something internally.
~MUNCH~MUNCH~MUNCH~
Making up his mind, he continued eating and ignored the beckoning.
Lin Wu who saw this, could only sigh.
"Give him a minute, he'll be here." Lin Wu said, and Yun Bai nodded.
And just as he had said, a minute later, the sound of rapid steps could be heard and the wind rushed towards them.
~KIIII~
Tim came to a stop beside Lin Wu and looked at the newcomer in front of him.
"New food?" Tim questioned, making Yun Bai frown.
"No, not food. He's an ally. He will help us." Lin Wu answered.
"Ally?" Tim questioned, while tilting his head in thought.
"Okay. No food. Ally Bring food." Tim replied.
~Sigh~
"Ugh, this kid…" Lin Wu couldn't help but shake his head.
"Ahaha," Yun Bai couldn't help but chuckle, either.
"You were not exaggerating that all he thinks about is food." Yun Bai said.
"Indeed. His physique is… rather unique, to say the least. I don't know how he mutated like this and can't really tell what bloodlines he has dormant in his body either." Lin Wu stated.
Hearing this, Yun Bai stroked his beard and thought of something.
"Hmm… you said he was a Copper hide weasel before?" Yun Bai asked.
"Yes. When I originally met him, he was a copper hide weasel that had eaten an Aquadream Pond Lotus whole and had reached the Nascent soul realm." Lin Wu replied.
"An Aquadream Pond Lotus!?" Yun Bai repeated, finding it absurd.
"Yeah, that was why he broke thought so quickly. But I have no idea how it even managed to eat a beast one whole realm higher than him." Lin Wu replied.
"That is indeed strange. While there are indeed beasts that are naturally stronger than others when comparing their cultivation base, the same does not happen for a Copper Hide Weasel and a Aquadream Pond Lotus.
The Aquadream Pond lotus, in every aspect, is superior to that of a Copper Hide Weasel." Yun Bai said after thinking.
"Are you sure that was all that happened?" he asked, continuing.
"I can't tell that either. The beast is, as you can see… of a low intelligence. It is barely over fifty years old and has certainly not gained enough intelligence. Which is strange as intelligence should increase with their cultivation base." Lin Wu replied.
"Seems like there might have been some defect in him." Yun Bai said before he tried to probe Tim with his spirit sense but was unable to.
"His defenses are certainly impermeable to spirit sense. That Earthen Depths obsidian fur and skin are something that no beast should be able to have." Yun Bai said.
"Which is why he is interesting. There is no way any normal Copper hide weasel should have been able to do something like this. He is strong but at the same time he's dumb." Lin Wu added.
"I see…" Yun Bai responded, thinking something to himself.
"Considering many other beasts that I've known of and heard of, this weasel certainly comes out on top seeing its apparent talent. I would like to see what secrets are hidden in his body." Yun Bai stated.
"And I'm guessing you have some way of doing that?" Lin Wu questioned.
"I do indeed. There is a certain tool called the 'Ten thousand bloodline pedestal' in my clan. It is originally a tool that beast tamers and traders used to check the bloodlines of beast so that they can get an accurate price and asses them.
We can use it to check what bloodlines this weasel has. Though it cannot analyze every bloodline in the world, it can point to the closest released bloodline from its storage." Yun Bai answered.
"Oh? There's something like that?" Lin Wu said, finding it rather interesting.
"So, will you want to see that?" Yun Bai asked.
"Of course!" Lin Wu said in agreement. "Lead the way."
"Alright then, follow me. My clansmen are a bit afraid of humans." Yun Bai said.
"But I'm a beast." Lin Wu replied.
"Yeah, a big beast. A big Dao Shell realm beast." Yun Bai stated.
"Oh… yeah… makes sense." Lin Wu said, finding it obvious now that he thought of.
His presence and aura were enough to terrify most beasts and humans alike. Thus he couldn't tell why it would not be the same for the Frost Fox Demon beasts either.
Still, he was looking forward to seeing Yun Bai's clansmen, since it just meant more data for the system. Yun Bai was an outlier of his clan and was the only one who had his bloodline restrictions eased due to the contract with the founder of Frozen Cloud sect.
Plus, he was also the more talented member of his clan and thus was the strongest of them all, making him their patriarch.
Lin Wu wanted the system to scan and check if the restrictions of the world presented in some way on the other clan members.. His agreement with Yun Bai was to help him leave this world and this was a point he would have to consider in that.
Report chapter
Yun Bai brought Lin Wu to the entrance of the grotto and the two of them stopped there.
The old fox made a few hand seals before runes appeared in front of him that went and merged into the hidden formation array.
~shua~
Once that happened, the formation array responded appropriately and a hole opened up. But the hole was only big enough for Yun Bai to pass through.
"Hang on, the default is set to just this much. I've never actually had to open it all the way through before." Yun Bai said, as he made a few more runes and changed the settings of the formation array.
~flicker~
The formations lightly flickered like electrical static before finally starting to move. The hole started to expand until finally it was big enough to let Lin Wu pass through it.
"Enter." Yun Bai said and Lin Wu obliged.
Tim followed behind Lin Wu, his head looking at everything.
~shua~
Lin Wu could feel the very air changing as he appeared in the new area. New things materialized in front of him, though he knew that it was not them materializing but instead the illusion that was hiding them disappearing.
"Welcome to the Frost Fox Grotto!" Yun Bai introduced as Lin Wu finally got to see everything.
And he had to admit, the place was certainly enchanting.
There were hundreds upon thousands of icicles hanging on the roof that flowed in a place blue light, making it feel like it was daytime inside the grotto. Then there was the moss and grass that grew on the ground along with the many flowers and herbs.
Lin Wu could even see some huge mushrooms that grew from the sides that were over a feet tall. The spirit Qi in the air was higher than normal as well, and was almost at the same level as that of the Frozen Cloud sect.
~Chirp~
Then Lin Wu heard the sounds of the grotto.
"Huh? There are other beasts here?" Lin Wu asked, feeling surprised.
"Yes, there are a lot of beasts that live here. Some of them are reared by my clan as food. We also farm other spirit herbs, plants and fruits, too." Yun Bai replied.
Lin Wu was intrigued and quickly looked at Tim.
"Don't you dare run!" Lin Wu warned before the beast could act.
~Crackle~
Lin Wu quickly created a small crystal and threw it to Tim.
"Just eat this and nothing else here." Lin Wu ordered.
Tim didn't speak anything and simply munched on the crystal while nodding his head.
Yun Bai watched it all and silently chuckled to himself before continuing onward.
~whoosh~
But just as they stepped a few meters ahead, a few people arrived there.
"Huh? Patriarch you're back? Didn't you just leave a couple of hours ago?" The man who had appeared asked.
Lin Wu gazed at him and could tell that he was at the Nascent soul realm right away. He too had white hair on his head and face in the form of eyebrows and eyelashes. The man had no beard and seemed to be clean shaven.
Along with him was a younger man who seemed to be barely out of his teens and was at the Core Condensation realm. Then at the side was a stunning woman with rather voluptuous curves.
'Damn… all of them are hot.' Lin Wu couldn't help but admit.
He had to say that they were certainly a lot more beautiful than most humans that he had seen till now.
And while Lin Wu was gazing at the Frost Foxes, they too were doing the same.
"Ancestors whiskers! What is this beast!?" The younger man exclaimed in shock.
The older man and woman were shocked as well as they watched Lin Wu's crimson eyes staring at them. There was a pressure exuding from him that made their bones tremble and their fine hair at the back of their necks stand on the end.
Lin Wu's sharp fangs and massive body towered over them and were easily a hundred times bigger than all three of them combined. Tim and Yun Bai looked minuscule, standing next to him.
"This is Lin Wu, the Crimson Eyed Emerald Worm and the King of the Millennium forest." Yun Bai introduced.
"Greetings," Lin Wu too spoke, making sure his voice was 'normal' and more genial.
Talking with pretty people makes everyone feel a bit more respectful and Lin Wu was no different, even if he had become a beast. Some aspects of his humanity had yet to leave him and were still intact.
"Dao Shell realm?" The woman finally sensed Lin Wu's cultivation base and became even more stunned.
"Ah, you got that right." Lin Wu spoke in agreement.
~gulp~
The three of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They knew that their patriarch, who was the strongest member of their clan, was at the Dao Shell realm and the beast that had appeared was at that level too.
While they couldn't estimate what stage Lin Wu was at, the oppressive aura coming from him alarmed their bloodlines and warned them that he was probably not any weaker than their patriarch.
"G-greetings… Elder Lin Wu." The three frost foxes respectfully said while bowing their heads.
To them, if their patriarch had deemed someone worthy enough to bring to their clan, it meant that they were to be respected. Plus Lin Wu's cultivation base itself was enough to demand such respect, whether it be from humans, beasts or demon beasts alike.
"Umm... why did you come back so soon, patriarch? I thought you had work at the sect?" The older man questioned.
"I did… but the work that I with was none other than Lin Wu and he met me here. So it just made it easier and saved time." Yun Bai answered.
"I see… I'll get the others to prepare for elder Lin Wu's welcome feast." The older man replied.
"Hmm… alright. Do that." Yun Bai agreed.
"Ah! Finally, time to eat some good stuff…" Lin Wu said happily.
Report chapter
Yun Bai chuckled upon hearing Lin Wu's words and a thought came to his mind.
"Hmm… by any chance do you partake in human cuisine too?" Yun Bai questioned.
"OF COURSE! They make the beast kinds of dishes that taste really good!" Lin Wu proudly answered.
"Hahah! I feel the same. Come, we'll have something to eat. My clansmen have lived here for long and have learned quite a lot of things since they can't cultivate as well; cooking is one of them." Yun Bai replied, feeling happy.
'Is this a dream? Or have I found a kindred spirit?' Lin Wu couldn't help but think.
He secretly pinched himself but couldn't do anything, his skin was not flabby and was instead a hard crystal.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The system had analyzed host's current state and the world around him, and has safely reached the conclusion that this is not a dream.
——
The system answered seriously.
"Ah… okay." Lin Wu replied, even though he knew that this was not a dream in reality.
Yun Bai guided Lin Wu and the weasel towards the depths of the grotto.
"Oh yeah, system scan the area too." Lin Wu said in his mind.
He looked around and found the area to be rather large.
"Just how big is this place?" Lin Wu questioned.
Even though the system was already working on scanning the area, Lin Wu reckoned it didn't hurt asking the owner of this place.
'If anything, I might get some information that the system cannot pick up just from scanning.' He thought.
"The grotto is about half the size of the Frozen Cloud sect." Yun Bai answered.
"WHAT? Thats quite big!" Lin Wu exclaimed.
From what he knew, there weren't that many Frost Foxes and they probably wouldn't need this much space to live.
"Well, it was used by the Thirteen Thunder Chamber as a base and they had a lot of people. In fact, this place used to be even larger, but many places collapsed during the attacks back then.
We even thought that there was a secret entrance to a minor plane here, but I never was able to find it. I reckon it has long since been lost after the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber left the world." Yun Bai explained.
"I see. But having a minor plane's entrance here would be really useful if it still exists. There are probably a lot of resources there that can be helpful." Lin Wu said.
"Mmmhmm," Yun Bai hummed in agreement. "Plus back when I was looking for solution for my clan, I also thought of the minor plane." He added.
"The minor plane for the solution, how?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Well, I wanted to see if my clansmen would be able to cultivate there or not. Since the minor is still a bit separate from the Ming Dao world, I hoped that its restrictions there would also be weaker, thus allowing them to grow stronger.
And the same for me, if I was able to increase my cultivation base to the Dao Treading realm, I would have been able to explore more options. It was one of the things I was really hopeful for and searched for it for decades." Yun Bai answered.
"There were no traces of it?" Lin Wu asked.
"No. None at all. I even felt like there was never a minor plane at all and that it was just a rumor. But then I did find confirmation of its existence in one of the old ledgers of the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber they had left behind." Yun Bai replied.
"That could… have been a good thing to fall back on in the time of need." Lin Wu commented.
He thought about it a bit more and wondered if the system would be able to find the traces of a minor plane like that.
"System, try and see if you can find that too." Lin Wu ordered.
"Affirmative." It simply replied.
Lin Wu and Yun Bai talked a bit more as they continued walking. Lin Wu got to see a lot of the grotto this way and saw the unique ecology of it. There were several different farms that grew various spirit herbs and even normal vegetables.
Then there were some orchards that were growing spirit fruits, albeit most of them were weaker. Though Lin Wu still felt some strong spirit Qi fluctuations coming from the orchards, which prompted him to think that there was certainly a high grade spirit fruit hidden there perhaps.
Above the farms and orchards, Lin Wu could see a large formation array that was letting out a warm yellow light. It was one of the few places where there were no blue icicles, like there were all over the grotto.
"A Sun Channeling Formation array?" Lin Wu recognized.
"Indeed. We need this to grow the spirit herbs that need sunlight. The Illuminating Icicles cannot sustain their growth and are also a little too cold for them." Yun Bai replied.
"And I'm thinking there are spirit stone mines below this, too?" Lin Wu guessed from the high concentration of spirit Qi that was there in the air.
"Indeed. There is a single high grade spirit stone mine and a mid grade spirit stone mine down there, for a total of two spirit stone mines." Yun Bai admitted.
"That is a good number for a place like this. Still, isn't the concentration of spirit Qi a bit higher here?" Lin Wu questioned.
He could see the notification of his spirit Qi increasing on the side with his every breath. It was the passive increase, but it was still rather high. Lin Wu could see his spirit Qi stores increasing visibly.
"We don't really mine the spirit stones." Yun Bai spoke.
"You don't? Why?" Lin Wu questioned feeling confused.
"Well… we would mine it if there was a need. But to be honest, all of my clansmen have reached bottleneck and the limit of what they can cultivate towards. No matter the resources they consume they simply cannot progress.." He answered.

"For over two centuries now, we have not mined the spirit stones. Plus, even before that, we didn't have as great of a need for them as just the ambient spirit Qi was enough for them to cultivate normally.
In fact, I would say, around thirty percent of my clansmen have never used an external resource or even a spirit stone at all." Yun Bai revealed surprising Lin Wu.
He knew just how big of an accomplishment that was and it was not something that many would try.
"Perhaps only your kind that can naturally live longer can do something like that. Humans and most beasts will simply die from old age if they did that." Lin Wu commented.
"Yes… that is also something my clan is afraid of. If we are found by the humans, our situation would sour." Yun Bai said and looked towards Lin Wu. "You must know how humans are… how they can be… after all, you have lived far longer than me."
"I do indeed…" Lin Wu said, recalling all the acts that Humans could try.
"Humans envy that which they cannot have. I do not want to imagine what my clansmen would have to go through if their existence was revealed. I am still fine, since the Frozen Cloud sect is bound to me, but these juniors are not.
Besides, the frozen Cloud sect is just one of the cultivation sects. I cannot grantee the same for the others that may try something." Yun Bai expanded.
Lin Mu nodded his head in understanding and felt like gaining power was the right decision.
And just like this, the three of them reached the main living hall area of the Frost Foxes.
Lin Wu could see several buildings that were made with the stones that were found in grotto and they were well decorated.
But the most eye catching thing was the large feast that was already prepared in front of them.
"They were rather fast." Lin Wu spoke.
"Our clan eats together everyday thus this place almost never changes." Yun Bai replied.
There were many of his kin already ready at the long tables that were arranged. Lin Wu shrunk down his size as much as he could to make it a bit easier for everyone and came to one of the tables that were use for him.
"Well then… Let's begin the feast!" Yun Bai said.
That was all that was needed for Lin Wu to start eating.
And just after a few bites, he could see his spirit Qi stores and vital energy stores increasing.
"Oh? System, show me the host data," Lin Wu ordered, wanting to check it since it had been a while.

Lin Wu could see that there were several additions to the host data now, along with a few changes.
The main addition were of course, the two new subordinates that had been added to the list, Tian Chu and Tian Han. Other than that, the common changes were just the increase of spirit Qi and vital essence.
Lin Wu had been cultivating passively and sometimes actively these past few days and had increased it. He had also eaten a few spirit beasts during his journey with Tim and had thus gained some more vital essence.
'Oh? Seems like I'm fourteen years old now too…' Lin Wu thought, seeing his age.
He was nearly a week older in addition to fourteen years and couldn't even tell that it had been that long.
"Hmm… so in a way, my birthday was six days ago. Meh… doesn't really matter. I'll have millions more to come." Lin Wu internally said before he focused his attention on eating.
There were truly a large variety of dishes that the Frost Foxes had made. There were both human and their own native dishes. Since the Frost Foxes were naturally in the humanoid form, they were able to have a more… civilized clan.
They had even developed their own cuisine and used some of the native things that grew in the grotto. The most popular thing seemed to be a mushroom that they used a lot and had a cool feeling upon eating.
"What is this?" Lin Wu asked.
"Oh that? That's one of the main crops of our clan. It is called as the Icy core mushroom and only grows here in the Grotto. It's one of the main things that our younger members eat when they are still unable to cultivate properly.
It contains ice elemental spirit Qi and thus makes it easier for them to digest. Only after a Frost Fox is a couple decades old are they able to cultivate on their own and don't have an absolute need for them." Yun Bai explained.
"That's rather important… and you use it in so many dishes too." Lin Wu spoke.
"We do indeed. It is something everyone likes and thus we make a lot of use." Yun Bai replied.
Lin Wu nodded his head and went back to enjoying the dishes.
If he were to describe the Icy Core Mushrooms, he would say that they had a minty taste along with the texture of a button mushroom. It was rather unique compared to most, but when used with the other spirit herbs and vegetables, its taste was well balanced.
Lin Wu even saw a pudding like dish which used the Icy Core mushroom as the main ingredient.
During the feast, Lin Wu could feel several curious gazes being cast towards him. They were quick to look away whenever Lin Wu looked at them.
"Have you not told them what we are doing yet?" Lin Wu questioned.
"No…" Yun Bai shook his head. "I thought that it would be better to see how things go first and then tell them. I did not want to get their hopes up before that." He added.
"Hmm… that's understandable. But what will you tell them when they ask you why I was here and how you know me?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Well… most of them will not dare to question that. And the ones that do… are smart enough to not ask it." Yun Bai answered.
"Hmm… I see. Still, I'd say it's better if you keep an explanation ready." Lin Wu suggested.
"I'll keep that in mind." Yun Bai said and went back to eating.
Lin Wu did the same, and the feast continued. About three hours passed like this, during which more and more food was brought. By the 30th serving, the frost foxes realized that there was no end to how much Lin Wu could eat.
Nervous sweat appeared on their foreheads, and they didn't know what to do. Lin Wu of course, saw it as well but knew that they were too afraid to say anything. Doing a quick sweep with his spirit sense, Lin Wu saw that they were about halfway through the stockpile of food.
The Weasel was no less of a glutton either, but had stopped after the fifteenth serving and had fallen asleep. Yun Bai himself had stopped after the tenth serving, which served to say that the Frost Foxes had gravely underestimated Lin Wu's appetite.
'I think I should stop and not force their hands this much.' Lin Wu thought and decided to end it for now.
"Ahh! That's was a good meal. Thank you for the feast." Lin Wu said in a pleased tone.
"We are happy to serve you, senior!"
"Patriarch never brings any guests, so it is our pleasure and honor to feed his guest."
Some of the Frost Foxes gave their responses, to which Lin Wu nodded in approval.
"I guess we can get to doing the task we came here for?" Yun Bai asked.
"Of course! Let's go." Lin Wu said and tapped the weasel to wake him up.
~thud~
The tap was a little hard and Tim was sent flying into the wall.
~kii~
Regardless, it still served the same purpose and the weasel beast woke up.
"Come on, we are going now." Lin Wu spoke.
Tim didn't say anything and simply looked on blankly, which just meant his approval.
"Please show the way." Lin Wu said to Yun Bai.
He then guided them to a different part of the grotto. Lin Wu could feel that he had passed through several different barriers and formations that were protecting something. The path was long and winding and took them deeper into the ground.
If before they were on the surface of the grotto, now they were in the underground caves of it. And Lin Wu could see the various runes and patterns that were carved into the walls and floors.
All of them were written in Dao Script and looked old and weathered.
Report chapter
Yun Bai came to a halt in front of a large pair of doors. The doors covered the entirety of the passage from the floor to the roof, leaving no gap in between. It was large enough that Lin Wu would be able to pass through them even with his full size.
"These are the archives of my clan. Give me a moment to open it." Yun Bai said before he took out a metal plate from his spatial store treasure.
The metal plate had the motif of a fox carved on it and looked to be ancient. Yun Bai held it in front of him and injected spirit Qi in to it.
~heng~
The metal plate floated out from his hand and went to slot into a small section in the middle of the doors.
~RUMBLE~
The doors started to open slowly, revealing what was hidden behind them.
'Damn, that's a lot of books.' Lin Wu internally said.
The archives were definitely bigger than most places he had been to. The only place that could compare to it and was bigger than it were the repositories and libraries in the Frozen Cloud sect.
There weren't just books, but all sorts of documents and items that could store information. There were jade slips, bamboo slips, formation plates that worked the same as jade slips and also some unique crystal orbs that were new for Lin Wu.
"Welcome to my clan's Archives." Yun Bai sand and brought him in.
"Where is the Ten thousand bloodline pedestal?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Come this way, it's a little farther." Yun Bai said, before they walked deeper into the archives.
This allowed Lin Wu to see just how much was stored in the archives. One thing was clear though, there was just information stored here and nothing else. There were no resources, spirit stones, or things of that sort.
'That's probably stored in a different section…' Lin Wu thought.
Finally, they came to an open area that was circular in shape. In the center of that stood a pedestal that was square in shape. There were eight layers to it like a pagoda and had tiny carvings on it that were hard to see.
At the top of it, there was a glassy stone that silently hovered without any spirit Qi fluctuations.
"This is the Ten Thousand Bloodline Pedestal." Yun Bai stated.
"How do we use it?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Umm… let me check." Yun Bai said.
"Check? You don't know how to?" Lin Wu asked, finding it surprising.
"Well… I've never actually used it before. I don't think it's ever been used after the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber left this world." Yun Bai admitted.
"Huh…" Lin Wu didn't know what to say to that.
"There are some instructions for it, so I'll just check that." Yun Bai said before he went and placed his hand on the glassy stone that was floating on top of the pedestal.
The stone lightly glowed and Yun Bai seemed to be reading from it. A few seconds later, he opened his eyes and looked back.
"I know it now. Let the weasel come stand inside the circle." Yun Bai spoke.
"You heard him, go inside and don't move till I tell you to." Lin Wu ordered.
"Okay," The weasel said and stepped into the circle.
"I'll activate it now." Yun Bai said and pressed the glassy stone into the pedestal.
~HONG~
Spirit Qi fluctuation came from the pedestal as it showed signs of activation. About ten seconds later, three beams of light shot out and struck Tim. The beast was certainly startled, but seeing that they did no harm, calmed down.
Yun Bai lifted his hand and went back to stand with Lin Wu.
"Now what?" Lin Wu asked.
"Now we wait. Depending on how complex and hard to detect the bloodline is, it will take different amounts of time." Yun Bai replied.
"Will it be able to detect it, though? Normal spirit Qi cannot penetrate Tim's body." Lin Wu reminded.
"It should work. It is not of this world and has a lot of complex formation arrays that even I don't know of. Perhaps you might through." Yun Bai said.
"Hmm… we'll wait then." Lin Wu replied.
'Scan that pedestal system and see what it has and how it works.' Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
SCANNER ACTIVATED: Target Selected
SCANNING: Please wait patiently…

Seeing these two lines, Lin Wu knew that the system will have a slightly hard time in scanning it as well.
"Mind if I browse through the things here?" Lin Wu asked.
"Feel free. I doubt there is something that you don't know here." Yun Bai replied.
"There is always new knowledge to be found, and it is bad to get complacent." Lin Wu stated.
Yun Bai nodded in agreement and let Lin Wu do want he wanted.
He didn't have an aversion to letting Lin Wu checking since he reckoned Lin Wu would know most of these things anyway. To him, Lin Wu was someone from a higher realm and thus would be far more knowledgeable than him.
As for Lin Wu not knowing about the Ten Thousand bloodline Pedestal, Yun Bai just thought that it was probably not a common tool or that there were multiple versions of it that might have different names.
Thus, he didn't doubt Lin Wu.
"Alright system… You know what to do." Lin Wu said in his mind.
~DING~
——
SCANNER ACTIVATED: Multiple targets selected
SCANNING: Please wait patiently…
——
Lin Wu knew this would take a while simply due to the fact that there were a massive amount of documents here. Even with system's increased speed, there were a lot of things to go through.
'Might as well read some things directly while it all works out…' Lin Wu thought and extended his spirit sense towards a random jade slip that was placed on a shelf nearby.
As a surprise to him, it contained the information about a lot of beasts that had been scanned by the Ten thousand bloodline pedestal in the past.
Report chapter
Lin Wu continued to read through the jade slip and got to know a few things.
"Huh… seems like they stored the logs of all that this tool was used on. Interesting…" Lin Wu muttered to himself, knowing that this will be a great find.
He soon got engrossed in it and hours passed by. By the twelve hour mark, the system gave him a notification.
~DING~
——
SCAN: Completed
DATA BANKS: Updated
NONFICTION: The Archives have been scanned and analyzed
——
"Ah, perfect." Lin Wu said, before turning to look at the pedestal.
Tim was already asleep and that was entirely fine, as long as he didn't move from the circle. The Pedestal was still scanning him and it didn't seem like it was done.
"Is there any way to tell how far along it has come?" Lin Wu questioned.
"No… all we can do is wait. It will tell us when it's done." Yun Bai answered.
"I see… but does it usually take this long?" Lin Wu questioned.
"From what I've read, it should not. But it might be due to the complexity of the weasel's bloodline, along with its unique mutation." Yun Bai answered again.
"That does make sense. Guess we'll wait more." Lin Wu nodded and went back to reading.
Since the system had already finished scanning, Lin Wu had a more ready source of information and he found it easy to browse through. There was a lot more information here than he had expected.
For example, Lin Wu got to know more about the beasts that the people of the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber had gathered and he also got to know of the different bloodlines that existed in this world.
Then Lin Wu went to the other sections where there was different kinds of information. There was some about the Frost Foxes and how they were a very strong breed of demon beasts with their strongest members being Immortals.
Lin Wu learned how one of their clans was captured by an individual cultivator of the demonic path. He sealed their cultivation bases and sold them to the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber, who gladly purchased them.
There were actually many clans of the Frost Foxes, and Yun Bai simply belonged to one of the weaker ones that was captured. Once they were captured, they were basically slave soldiers for the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber for the most part, though the female Frost Foxes also served as courtesans due to their beauty.
Their clan, which used to have a population of a few thousand was reduced greatly after just a hundred years of conflict. Three hundred years later, they were finally brought to the Ming Dao world to capture and pillage it.
Lin Wu then moved onto the information about the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber.
"Oh? Now this is interesting…" Lin Wu muttered as he read some intriguing things.
The Thirteenth Thunder Chamber was actually part of an even greater organization called as the Great Thunder Chamber. They were one of the bigger organizations of the Immortal world, dabbling in both the white and Grey areas of business.
They were primarily merchants, but also had some departments that worked as mercenaries and killers. The Thirteenth Thunder Chamber was their department that worked as world raiders and invaded different worlds that were unmarked by the Four Guardian beasts.
"Seems like the guardian beasts hold a far greater position in the universe than I first thought…" Lin Wu muttered. "System, show me if there is any more information about them." He ordered.
The system quickly went through the data banks and showed Lin Wu the information he had asked for.
"Hmm… let's see…" Lin Wu started to read through it.
"Damn! They're the bigwigs of the immortal world." Lin Wu realized.
He found out that the Four Guardian beasts were one of the top powers of the Immortal worlds controlled a large part of the immortal realm. They were also considered the orthodox power and were often worshiped by a lot of people, which included both cultivators and mortals.
They were one of the few beast clans that had risen to prominence greatly, such that other races revered them as well. Their power went deep and Lin Wu couldn't tell how strong their powers truly were.
The records simply mentioned that most sects of the immortal world were nothing in front of them and even the strongest immortal realm cultivators would not dare challenge them directly.
Besides, since they were considered to be orthodox, a lot of righteous powers supported them and were in alliance with them. Overall, they were good and protected the weaker worlds from being destroyed.
The worlds that had their temples were under their banner and anyone that dared to attack them would have to face their wrath. While they didn't interfere in the internal matters and the normal trades that happened in the world, they would not allow battles on unequal nature to happen.
Lin Wu could not fully understand why this was or why they had such rules, but he could guess that there was a lot more to them than was written there.
'They definitely have some advantage or benefit that they gain from this. I doubt they would protect weaker worlds for nothing. They may be taking tributes or something. Though that doesn't make sense for the low leveled worlds since they have no interaction with them other than the temples.' Lin Wu thought.
There were a lot of questions in his mind about the four guardian beast clans, and this information was simply not enough for him to be satisfied.
"How about the Skull god, is there any information about him?" Lin Wu asked.
The system responded promptly and presented him with the information he had asked for.
"Oho? There are actually records about him." Lin Wu was a bit surprised.
He read through the records and it was mostly general information that he already knew.. The gist of it was that the Skull god was a wanted criminal and was hunted down by most of the righteous powers of the immortal realm.
