Lin Wu thought about what to do as he crossed over the fourth and fifth rings of the forest.
"Hmm… the best way to solve this would be to have other beasts at the Dao Shell realm that can suppress the Nascent soul realm beasts." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he arrived at the Taiji Celestial's Tomb.
While this was the best option for him, he would need the beasts who can reach that. And that… was not easy.
Often, the things that were the best were not easy.
Though it was not as if Lin Wu had no possible candidates in his mind either. While thinking of this all, he heard a few voices.
"Master! You're back."
Lin Wu turned to look at the sky and saw the two bird beasts, the High Wind Emeraldine Sparrow and The Emeraldine Wing Swan descending from the top of the tomb. His spirit sense quickly scanned them and Lin Wu could tell that they had a slight progress from the last time he saw them.
'Cultivation for other nascent soul realm beasts is indeed not as fast as me… even if they have a partial form of my bloodline, it cannot compare to my own.' Lin Wu thought.
"Yes, I am." Lin Wu causally replied to the two bird beasts that landed in front of him.
"Where did you go, master? I thought you would be back earlier." The High Wind Emeraldine Sparrow questioned.
"I went to do some work… and forge some new alliances." Lin Wu answered.
"New alliances?" The two bird beasts looked on in surprise.
"I'll explain the details in a bit once everyone is present in the tomb. There are a lot of things to go through." Lin Wu stated.
"As you command, Master." The Emeraldine Wing Swan replied.
"That Emeraldine Horn Beetle is in the tomb right now and so is the lizard that you allowed to live there." The High Wind Emeraldine Sparrow said.
"Oh, they are. That saves a bit of a time." Lin Wu causally replied as he teleported into his personal hall.
The two bird beasts did the same and went to the main hall, where they usually did the meetings. Lin Wu on the other hand, was checking up on the Avatar.
"Let's see what kind of a progress you've had in the time I was busy." Lin Wu muttered as he gazed at the coiled up avatar.
Its body lightly glowed as the spirit Qi swirled around it in a harmonic manner. Every so often, it would be pulled into the avatar's body to be absorbed into the Dantian and further its cultivation.
"System, show me the avatar's data and what changes have been made in that time." Lin Wu ordered.

——
Seeing the two small but significant changes, Lin Wu was pleasantly surprised.
"The avatar actually gained over two million spirit Qi units in that time. That's a decent increase… no wait, isn't that higher than my normal? How did that happen?" Lin Wu wondered.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The beasts presented some gifts to the avatar in the absence of the host and the avatar ate them according to the protocols established. This allowed more spirit Qi being gained than the estimated calculations.
——
"Huh? Why did they give the gifts?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
NOTIFICATION: would the host like to view the recorded video logs? Y/N
——
"Yeah go head." Lin Wu said.
His vision changed, and he saw how things happened.
The ones who had given the avatar the gifts turned out to be none other than the two Emeraldine Monkeys who had recently broken through.
"Oh, so it's them." Lin Wu realized.
The two beasts came to the avatar to thank them for giving them the opportunity to cultivate this far and how grateful they were for it. The avatar replied perfunctorily and the two Emeraldine Monkeys retreated, knowing better than to disturb either master for longer than necessary.
The avatar thus gained two spirit fruits that the Emeraldine Monkeys had specially cultivated. Technically, they were owned by Lin Wu, but he had assigned different portions of resources to be given to the beasts.
That way, they would stay loyal to him and would also be able to steadily increase their powers. Hence, this situation could be said to be an initial investment returning to him in a short time.
The log ended there and Lin Wu was back to normal.
The second change that had happened in this time was the increase in the Undaunted Sapphire Body art.
'How did it increase by another percent?' Lin Wu was a bit confused.
In the past ten years, the Avatar had gone past his main body's level, but that had taken ten years. Even with that, the increase would not be more than one or two percent for the entire year.
"Maybe the avatar was already close to the next percent. Yes… that must be it. It's not that I've been slacking…" Lin Wu consoled himself.
It was strange that he was losing to himself and felt a sense of competition.
Report chapter
Once Lin Wu was done checking in with the Avatar, he looked up how the other servants and subordinates of his were doing.
~shua~shua~shua~
Multiple monitoring windows appeared in front of him, showing him the status of all the others.
Most of his servants that were not in the tomb were making their way towards it, while the ones that were already, teleported to the main hall where he had the meetings. Right now, there were only the beasts there though.
Lin Wu had not asked the humans since they were still in seclusion.
'Hmm… both of them are close to a breakthrough…' Lin Wu thought.
Tian Xiaoge was almost at the edge of a breakthrough and would probably have her heavenly tribulation in the coming week. Pei Jun on the other hand was about to reach the Child Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm.
While he was not in the same sensitive situation as Tian Xiaoge, Lin Wu didn't think it was needed to call him in as well.
"They will understand the information more quickly anyways. It's the beasts that need more explanations." Lin Wu said before waiting a bit more.
About five minutes later, everyone had gathered in the hall and seemed to be ready.
"Time to meet them…" Lin Wu said before he teleported in.
~shua~
His body disappeared in a flash of runes and reappeared in front of all the beasts. His servants and beast subordinates looked on in anticipation, wondering what Lin Wu had called them here for.
"King Lin Wu, Greetings." The former kings greeted.
Even the Twin Lights Liger King did the same and even seemed to be more respectful than before. The other kings noticed this and were a bit surprised. But after a few seconds understood that if Lin Wu had managed to make him his subordinates as well, it meant the Liger king was already subdued.
"Welcome, everyone. Today I have called you here to tell you about some developments that have taken place." Lin Wu spoke.
"What are they, King?" The Beetle King questioned.
"Well, for starters… we have a few allies now." Lin Wu answered.
"Oh? Who are they?" The Emeraldine Horn Beetle asked.
"The first would be the Frozen Cloud sect." Lin Wu replied.
"The human sect?" The beasts were surprised.
"Yes… well, at least they will be our complete allies once a few things are sorted out." Lin Wu added.
"But among them, we have a very strong ally. You all have met him before too." Lin Wu spoke.
"We've met him?" The sparrow beast wondered who might it be.
There weren't that many strong beasts they all had seen and if Lin Wu said they were an 'ally' and not a subordinate, it meant that they had a relatively high status too. The Slim Arm ape king thought over it and could only think of one answer for this.
"Is it… that Demon beast? The one that saved us when the Southern Tusk tapirs and their king attacked?" The Slim Arm Ape King questioned.
"Indeed. That is Yun Bai, the Frost Fox clan patriarch, and also the guardian of the Frozen Cloud sect." Lin Wu answered.
~Gasp~
The beasts couldn't help but take in deep breaths after hearing this. Most of them had witnessed the might of Yun Bai and the ease with which he had killed a Dao Shell realm beast had stunned them.
The Twin Lights Liger King had not seen Yun Bai and neither did he know who he was, but what he did know of was the strong spirit Qi fluctuations that he felt on the day of the battle.
He could tell that those were not of just any being and whoever they belonged to must have been very strong.
"He will be our main backing from the frozen Cloud sect for now, but additionally the current chief disciple of the Frozen Cloud sect is also a subordinate of mine. There are some conflicts going on in the sect, but once they are resolved, the position of Wang Xiong will be all but assured.
Once that happens, we will basically have the full backing the sect." Lin Wu explained.
Hearing this, the beasts were stunned. They had just gained another expert that was on the same level as that of Lin Wu now. It made them feel a bit pressured, but also safe at the same time.
"My King, your words implied there were more allies. Who are they?" this time it was the Demon Spine Ape King that asked.
Lin Wu was a bit surprised seeing the tone and choice of words that the beast had used.
'He's getting his temper in control?' Lin Wu wondered.
"Yes there are more. While they are weak right now, they might have the potential to be a very strong ally later on." Lin Wu spoke. "They are related to someone you know as well, Slim Arm Ape King."
Hearing this, the Slim Arm Ape King raised his brows.
"Who might that be?" he questioned.
"Someone from the Tian clan." Lin Wu answered, stunning the beast.
"R-really?" he asked.
"Yes. While they are part of a Tian Clan branch, they have the potential to enter the main branch. Plus since they have chosen to become my servants as well, if they succeed in their endeavor, we might have the Tian clan with us in the future." Lin Wu said contently.
"H-how did you meet them?" The Slim Arm ape couldn't help but ask.
"Well… I visited the Tian clan's branch. The one that Tian Xiaoge is a member of." Lin Wu replied.
The beasts already knew of the humans that were being trained by the 'Monk'ey beast and how they had become subordinates of Lin Wu. Of those, there were two that were currently cultivating in the tomb.
While the other kings had not seen them nor met with them, they did learn more from Lin Wu's servants. Plus, since Pei Jun was a nascent soul realm expert as well, they did feel like they needed to know more about them.
Just being at the Nascent soul realm made Pei Jun be on the same status as some of them. Plus, they didn't want to be pushed back by some human and hurt their pride as beasts either.
"Ah! Speaking of the Tian clan… you've been to their main branch in the past, haven't you?" Lin Wu asked.
"Y-yes. I have a couple of times." The Slim Arm Ape King replied.
"Then, can you tell me if you know anything about these few things?" Lin Wu questioned before showing him the things he had taken from Tian Han.
~shua~
The spirit Qi fluctuations coming from the spirit tools could be felt by the beasts and they were a bit surprised, as one of them was quite strong. The sword with the power of a Dao Shell realm expert was taken by Lin Wu as well, and he knew that there was probably some secret hidden in it.
'There's no way someone would just leave it for him for no reason. There is bound to be someone pulling the strings and playing some game.' Lin Wu thought.
The Slim Arm Ape King carefully looked through the different spirit tools.
"I can't really tell what some of these are, but they look like normal human spirit tools… but these two… they are different." He finally spoke.
"Oh? How so?" Lin Wu questioned.
The two spirit tools that the Slim Arm Ape King had picked out were the Aural Exposure Hoop and the sword with the Dao Shell realm power.
"I've seen this hoop spirit tool before. My master used to have one a long time ago as well. I think it's one of the spirit tools that the clan makes." The Slim Arm Ape spoke. "But this one… the small sword… I know the symbol on it." He added.
"You know?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Yes… My master spoke of it once. His clan has had a lot of experts, but they didn't really appear in the secular world as per their clan traditions. But there are always a few that do not want to follow that and reject the rules.
Those that do this are often punished, depending on how severe their crime was. Most of the time, it is the weaker members that do this since they feel that they are being pressured by the clan.
But there are a few that are not weak… it is these ones that the clan has a hard time dealing with." The Slim Arm Ape King answered.
Lin Wu was intrigued by this and wanted to know more.
"Explain to me in detail, all that you know." Lin Wu ordered.
"Of course," The Slim Arm Ape King said before taking a deep breath.
The beasts could feel slight nervousness in the Slim Arm Ape King's voice and even his aura seemed to be a bit different. It made them wonder what was so different about this information, too.
"As I said, there were always some that want to oppose the clan and do not want to follow the rules about them having to hide. The ones that do this often have great ambitions and want to gain a place in the world.
Even if they would lack the resources that they can get in the clan, they still go out. Most of them are pulled back to the clan and punished. My master was one of them as well. But then he managed to get the permission to leave the clan since he was going to die anyway.
But not all of them are punished. Some of them manage to evade the clan and escape. Of course, this is just temporary and if they prove to be too much, the Strong elders of the clan themselves will go and catch them.
They are at the Dao Treading realm and are enough to deal with most troubles. There are even those at the Immortal Ascension realm, but they don't appear most of the time. Especially not for matters such as this.
Though there was an exception… one of the disciples of the sect managed to escape that was not weak. He was in fact said to be the most talented disciple of the Tian clan. So much so that the clan even wondered if he would be the one that might lead the clan to fulfilling the founders' prophecy.
But all that was for naught, as he was not exactly as prophesied. This of course, greatly brothered him since his status was greatly elevated before being lowered once the requirements were not met.
It angered him to no end, and he rebelled. Leaving with a few of his most loyal followers he hid for years. The clan tried to find him but it was very difficult. He was after all, the most talented member and had access to a lot of resources.
He had taken a significant number of them from the clan before leaving as well. Additionally, he had participated in the catching of other clan members who had escaped in the past and had experience with it all.
He knew how the clan worked and what their tactics were. This gave him an edge that the others did not have and he evaded them for years.
The clan always kept an eye out for him and his followers, ready to act even if it meant that a part of their power would be exposed to the world. The man was basically gunpowder that could explode at any moment and reveal their legacy to the world.
They definitely did not want that.
Finally, after many years of search, they found traces of him and went out to catch him. This time the Immortal Ascension realm ancestor of the sect made and exception and comae out himself to subjugate the man.
No one know's exactly what happened after that, but the accepted result is that the former clan member was killed." The Slim Arm Ape King explained in detail.
"But that's not all, is it?"
Report chapter
"But that's not all, is it?" Lin Wu questioned the Slim Arm Ape King.
"No… Some years after that, there were some incidents that happened in the Tian clan. They were inexplicable and some people disappeared all of a sudden. There was a great upheaval in the clan and it went into a panic until the high elders forcibly suppressed it.
Later it was found that the people had been killed and their remains were found hidden all over the clan's periphery. No one knows how it was done or who did it, but it became a nightmare for them.
But there was one thing in common with all of the remains, there was a symbol left on them. It was hidden and very hard to notice. The symbol being none other than the one on this sword." The Slim Arm Ape King answered.
"I see. and is it linked to the top member that ran away?" Lin Wu questioned further.
"Yes. This was discovered even later, as some members were dissatisfied by the clan. They decided to follow in the steps of the exiled member and made up stories that he was still alive and had faked his death back then.
Of course, this rebellious action was met with punishment, but then the members that rebelled next time were far stronger than expected. It was then found that they were in possession of several items that had the same symbol as that sword." The Slim Arm Ape King answered.
"And what is this symbol called?" Lin Wu asked, feeling very intrigued now.
"I still remember that I was brought to the Tian clan by my master at that time because he had been summoned due to an emergency. That emergency turned out to be none other than more people trying to leave.
There was word among the clansmen that the Ghost Of Tian was back. That symbol belonged to that person." The Slim Arm Ape King replied.
"Hmmm…" Lin Wu didn't know what to think of this.
The more he learned about the Tian clan, the more strange he found them. Their entire history and the events that they went through seemed to be ridiculous. This gave doubts to some questions in Lin Wu's mind.
"Wait… just how long ago did the top member of the Tian clan leave it?" Lin Wu questioned.
He asked this question because he felt like there were simply too many people that had tried to rebel from the clan and caused multiple incidents. And seeing how the Tian clan tried to stay hidden and low key for the most part, such incidents should be rather well known no matter how much they tried to hide it.
There were bound to be cultivators that would get whiff of it or suspect something. If something happened so many times in history in a short period of time there would be traces left.
"The original rebellion happened a long time before my master's time. While I don't know the exact time, it is said that there was no Long clan back then." The Slim Arm ape king replied.
"No, Long clan?" Lin Wu said as he raised his brows.
"That means it is over ten thousand years old. The Long clan came into existence around that time." Lin Wu stated.
This was unexpected to him, as it meant that the Tian clan possibly had the entire history of all that had happened since the arrival of the invaders and the awakening of the three guardian beasts.
'I bet they even know more than this.' Lin Wu thought.
This only made Lin Wu that much more interested in the Tian clan and he wanted to visit it.
"Wait! If you've gone to the Tian clan with your master, you must know its location, right?" Lin Wu asked, realizing it.
"I… actually don't." The Slim Arm Ape King replied.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Lin Wu asked, feeling confused.
"While I did visit it with my master, I wasn't exactly aware of the path taken. My master would put me in a Beast Storage treasure." The Slim Arm Ape King replied.
Lin Wu knew of beast storage treasures and had learned about them a while back. They were in the same category of spirit tools as the Spatial storage treasures and were actually even more expensive.
Since most spatial storage treasure could not hold living beings in them other than some plants, a special spirit tool needed to be made that could support life. This was a very complex process in involved various formations.
The Beast Storage Treasures or spirit tools made use of an air gathering formation, an isolation array, a pair of heating and cooling formations, along with a lot of reinforcement formations.
All of these combined allowed a beast to stay in the spirit tool safely. The isolation array prevented the turbulent space inside the beast storage tool from harming the beast, while the reinforcement formations made them tougher.
Then the air gathering formation and the pair of heating and cooling fomentations were so that the beast could breathe and stay alive there. The air gathering formation would periodically pull air from the outside and make it possible for the beasts to breathe while the heating/ cooling formations changed the temperature of this air.
Adding all these formations on top of the spatial formations made it a very tall order and there were only a limited number of cultivators that could even make them.
"Are there others in the Tian clan that have beast storage tools or of the clan themselves make them?" Lin Wu questioned.
"The clan does make them, but they are very rare and few. I think there were less than ten such back when my master was still alive. There was an argument that my master had with one of the members as he asked for the beast storage tool that he used for me.
He said that the tool was wasted on a weak beast like me and he would make better use of it.." The Slim Arm Ape King answered.
Report chapter
Having heard of all that the Slim Arm Ape king had said till now, Lin Wu was sure that the Tian clan might have been the biggest player on the continent right now.
'As far as I know, the current top ten sects don't even have histories as long as the Long clan, not to mention the Tian clan, which is even older than that. If they have managed to live this long, then they quite likely have access to forgotten or lost techniques.
The same could be said for resources as well. Makes sense that they want to keep it hidden too in a way.' Lin Wu thought.
"Are you disappointed that I do not know the location of the Tian Clan, my king?" the Slim Arm ape king asked carefully.
"No… that's fine. I have another way to get there, anyway." Lin Wu replied.
Having his doubts clarified, Lin Wu went back to a topic he had said earlier.
"How many of you think you are close to reaching the Dao Shell realm?" Lin Wu questioned.
"I am." The Twin Lights Liger King said confidently.
But that was the only answer that Lin Wu received. This made Lin Wu look towards the Split Thorn Horn Beetle king.
"You're at the Adult Soul Stage of the Nascent soul realm too, aren't you? Will you not reach the Dao Shell realm?" Lin Wu asked.
~Sigh~
Hearing that, the Beetle king let out a sigh of his own before speaking. "I would like that a lot, but no Split Thorn Horn Beetle King has ever reached the Dao Shell realm. I was the first to reach the Nascent soul realm and my descendant is the second.
Even though the concentration of spirit Qi in the forest is rising, I still cannot cultivate well enough. The bottleneck is more like a wall for me instead and I do not think I would be able to breakthrough in my lifetime."
Lin Wu didn't show any change of expression on his face and simply spoke.
"Just keep up with the cultivation then. Perhaps you might be able to do so sometime." Lin Wu encouraged a little.
He then turned to look towards the two ape kings who understood what he meant.
"I will definitely reach the Dao Shell realm and won't stop there." The Demon Spine Ape King said with confidence.
"I will be able to reach the Dao Shell realm too with the increased spirit Qi. But it will take several decades or even centuries to do that." The Slim Arm Ape King spoke.
While he did not say that he would go beyond that realm, it was still a better response than the Beetle King.
"Hmm… guess this gives us two beasts that will be at the Dao Shell realm soon then." Lin Wu spoke.
"Two beasts? Including you, my king?" the Emeraldine Horn Beetle asked.
"Oh, not me. Other than me." Lin Wu replied.
"Are you including the Frost Fox Yun Bai?" The Slim Arm Ape king asked, feeling confused.
At this point, Lin Wu realized he had forgotten something important.
"Oh, hang on. I forgot to introduce another ally." Lin Wu spoke.
The beasts looked on in interest but also wondered who Lin Wu was talking about since there was no one other than them in the hall.
"Are they not here?" The Sparrow beast asked.
"Nope, they're here." Lin Wu said as he brought his tail forward and expanded some of the spikes on there.
The beasts watched as a mass of black crystals fell out from it. At first, they couldn't tell what it was and were confused.
'Was he carrying it on his back this entire time?' some of the servants wondered.
~ki~
A low growl could be heard as the pile of black crystals started to twitch. A part of it extended and appeared to be a leg. The weasel unrolled itself and the beast's finally saw its appearance.
~Yawn~
Tim took a big yawn and opened its mouth wide, his sharp teeth and fangs fully visible. Finally opening his eyes, the weasel looked at the new area and the many beasts that surrounding it.
"Huh?" Tim was taken aback.
But then in the next moment, his demeanor changed instantly.
~KIIIIIIII~
"HUNTING TIME!" Tim let out a cry.
The energy within his body thrummed as he shot towards the closest beast that was none other than the Slim Arm Ape king.
The beast who was currently in the process of being attacked was stunned. The old ape could see the drive in Tim's eyes and knew that this beast would surely kill him. Even though the beast was way smaller than any of them here, it still seemed to be mighty.
The Slim Arm Ape king tried to move, but he was far too slow for Tim. The Demon Spine Ape King moved to defend his father, but he was slow as well. The other beasts could simply watch as Tim's sharp claws were just a meter way from the Slim Arm Ape King's neck.
The old ape's pupils constricted, and he wondered if he would be dying here today.
~BOOM~
~CRASH~
But before that could happen, something even faster moved. A gust of wind hit his face that was enough to push him back a few meters. The other beasts witnessed what happened and were shocked.
"I told you not to attack before I tell you so!" Lin Wu shouted.
Tim was currently pinged below his tail, which had been slammed on top of him. If it were not for the formations protecting the floor, Tim would have probably been buried in the ground.
"Okay… Look tasty…" Tim replied.
"Don't do that again and stay at the side. If you move, no more crystal snacks." Lin Wu warned.
"o_o" Tim didn't speak and simply stood at the side like a statue.
Clearly, the threat was rather effective.
"W-what… W-who is this beast?" The Slim Arm Ape King questioned.
"Well everyone… meet Tim.." Lin Wu introduced.
Report chapter
All the beasts looked at the smallest beast in the hall. Tim was many times smaller than almost everyone in the hall. Even when compared with the Emeraldine Monkeys that were at the core condensation realm, Tim was two times smaller.
Those monkeys had grown buff in the past few years and had put on a lot of muscles. If they flexed, the rippling veins could be seen under their skin. And that was not all. Even when compared to the other core condensation realm beasts that weren't particularly Lin Wu's subordinates, Tim was still small.
Though he looked different from the normal beasts too. In fact, his crystalline skin looked far more similar to Lin Wu and his kin than the normal beasts. Thus in that way, he was more like them.
If it were not for the fact that they couldn't feel the bloodline trace from Tim, the beasts with the Emeraldine legion bloodline would have thought that Tim was the same and had simply mutated in a different manner.
After all, the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape was the same and had mutated differently, gaining the white crystal on its forehead and hands. The Emeraldine bloodline was not rigid and allowed the original bloodline of the beast to exist.
Instead of suppressing it, it adapted to it and promoted the original bloodline while adding its own characteristic to it. In a way, it acted like a catalyst and increased the rate at which the bloodline evolved.
Something that might have taken tens of thousands of years and multiple generation of beasts was done in a single generation with a single beast. It was simply an astounding existence.
The beasts were thus confused as to who Tim was.
A few of them extended their spirit senses, trying to probe Tim and find out his cultivation base. But like many others before, they too failed and were surprised. It was as if their spirit sense had met a thick steel plate that could not be broken.
"Huh? How is this possible?" The Twin Lights Liger King and others had the same expression.
To them, since Tim was small in size, they thought that his cultivation base should be around the core condensation realm. Though they were still a bit doubtful about it since they had seen him fearlessly attack the Slim Arm ape king.
No normal beast would attack a beast at the Nascent soul realm unless they knew they could fight them.
"You couldn't use your spirit sense on him, could you?" Lin Wu easily guessed.
"Yes. How is that possible? His body is like… nothing I've ever seen." The Twin Lights Liger King spoke.
"Of course. He is the first of his kind." Lin Wu replied.
"Then… is he the same as you, master?" The Emeraldine Beetle questioned.
"Hmm… you could say that. His bloodline has changed enough that it is now entirely different." Lin Wu answered.
"Then what is he? And why did I feel the pressure from him when he attacked?" The Slim Arm ape king asked, still feeling a bit nervous.
"Well, the pressure was justified. After all, he is quite possibly stronger than most of you here." Lin Wu stated.
"What?!?" The beasts were stunned.
"I can't even sense its cultivation base. It's as if it has nothing. There are no passive spirit Qi fluctuations either. Even his vitality is almost hidden." The Twin Lights Liger King said, finding it to be very strange.
"Yes, his unique physique allows him that ability. He is what I've named, a Myriad Obsidian Weasel." Lin Wu revealed.
"That is a weasel?" The mole beast looked on fearfully and took a few steps back.
Lin Wu looked on strangely before remembering something.
'Ah, yeah. Weasels hunt and kill moles to eat.' Lin Wu remembered.
He then looked at the beasts and thought that he should give them a better explanation.
"His body has Earthen Depths obsidian in it thus it blocks out spirit Qi completely… whether it be his own or others." Lin Wu spoke.
"Huh? How does he use his own spirit Qi then if it can't leave his body?" The Demon Spine Ape questioned.
"That is something I'm not fully clear about either. It has simply mutated in a way that it just works." Lin Wu answered.
This was the truth, and even the system was still analyzing this fact. Scanning Tim had been a tough task for the system, and finding what was hidden in its bloodline was an even more difficult task.
Since the Ten thousand bloodline pedestal had given them a part of the information, the system did have some points to go off from, but it was not enough. Plus, Lin Wu thought that the information was not entirely correct as the beasts mentioned in that didn't match Tim at all.
They weren't even the same class of beast either. One of them was a fish, the Marga Gar beast; and one was an insect, being the Glitter gold butterfly. Then there was the wolf beast, which was the Sky Wing wolf.
Even though the wolf was a mammal too and came in the same class, it was still vastly different than a weasel.
"I see… but what is its cultivation base, then?" The beasts all asked, feeling very curious.
To them, if Lin Wu had brought Tim from somewhere and had even carried him on his body, it meant that he valued him a lot. Plus, the way Lin Wu was treating Tim seemed to be different than them too.
While they couldn't exactly tell how, seeing as how Tim didn't have Lin Wu's bloodline meant that he was not exactly a servant or subordinate. This only made them even more curios about Tim.
"He is at the Adult Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm… almost at the very peak." Lin Wu answered.
Hearing this, the beasts were no less than speechless.
"How… H-how is this possible?" The Twin Lights liger king was the most shocked.
Report chapter
Lin Wu could understand the reaction of the beast as it was something he had seem multiple times before either. At this point, he even felt like Tim was a something he was brining to a show-and-tell in the school.
It was fun for him to see the reactions.
'Hmm… I guess it's like showing others how a pet performs tricks?' Lin Wu thought.
It was at this point, that the unmoving Tim finally spoke again, knowing that the others were speaking about him.
"Me, Tim! Me Strong!" He proudly stated.
This sentence irked a few of the beasts as a thought came to their mind.
"A child?" The Slim Arm Ape king, The Twin Lights Liger King and the Split Thorn Horn beetle king all said in unison.
All three of them were kings of the forest and had many subordinates under them. They themselves had seen many beasts being born and knew how they acted when they were small.
Even if they could not use their spirit sense on Tim, their instincts could very well tell them that Tim was very young.
"Ah yeah. You could say that. Tim here… is a little over fifty years old." Lin Wu spoke.
"Five hundred years old?"
"Fifteen hundred years old?"
"Five thousand years old?"
The beasts said, as if they had heard wrong.
"No, 5-0, fifty years old." Lin Wu reiterated.
Pin drop silence could be felt in the hall after that. For a minute, no sound was made until finally…
"IMPECCABLE! AMAZING!" The Slim Arm Ape King shouted.
"Such talent… isn't this beyond those 'genius humans'." The beetle king said.
The Twin Lights Liger King didn't know what to say either at first.
"If he is at such a cultivation base at such young age, then he might be the best one among us." He finally said.
"Indeed." Lin Wu nodded his head. "And he is the second beast that will at the Dao Shell realm." He added.
"He's at that point already?" The Twin Lights Liger King asked understanding what Lin Wu meant.
Even if someone was at the very peak of the Adult Soul Stage of the Nascent soul realm, it didn't mean that they could freely breakthrough to the Dao Shell realm. There was a bottleneck that was very difficult for them to pass.
This was the same for both humans and beasts, and they had to put a lot of effort in crossing it.
Many beasts put centuries of effort just to loosen this bottleneck. Humans would search out treasured herbs so that they could achieve the same or try out new cultivation techniques in the hope that they were able to breakthrough one day.
No matter what the method was, everyone wanted to breakthrough to the Dao Shell realm and seeing that Tim was at that point without doing much seemed a bit pressuring to The Twin Lights Liger King.
"Talent does put one at different starting points." The twin lights liger King muttered.
He had suffered from a big bottleneck his entire life and was prepared to never breakthrough in his life at all. The restrains of the Tomb were not something he could shake off and if it were not for Lin Wu taking over his position, he would still be the same.
It was something he was grateful to Lin Wu for but the other beasts could also be said to be in the same situation.
"Tim will stay here with me… I don't trust him enough to let him wander. He can't control himself and will probably eat things. Pretty much wreak havoc in general." Lin Wu spoke.
"Fight Fun! Eat Good!" Tim spoke from the side, getting a glare from Lin Wu.
"Yeah that's a child alright…" The Club tailed lizard that had not spoken the entire time muttered.
She too had been allowed here, as she had decided to join Lin Wu a while back. To her, Lin Wu seemed to have great power and being under him was far better than going back and struggling for resources.
Here she could get a lot of things with ease, as long as she did some duties. The Leader of the Emeraldine Monkeys had assigned her some duties that she could do and thus she was not freeloading anymore.
Lin Wu didn't miss the club tailed Lizard either and wondered what was happening to the new born lizard.
'Those stuck to me like glue back then.' Lin Wu thought.
He sneaked a peek on a monitoring screen that the system showed to him and saw that the juvenile Club Tailed Lizards were playing in one of the halls. The way they played was rather unique too.
~thud~
~hiss~
~thud~
~hiss~
"Huh… that's… unique alright…" Lin Wu said after seeing them knock each other around with their tails.
One of them would slam the other with their tail and see how far they sent them hurtling. Then the next one would do that for them. They kept on doing this until they reached the end of the hall.
Once that happened, they would start the entire process all over again.
But that was not all Lin Wu noticed.
"Their cultivation base is increasing quickly too." Lin Wu muttered before getting the system to do a scan of them.
~DING~
——

4. Crystalline Rampart (active)
——
The five Juvenile Club tailed lizards had all reached the peak stage of the Qi refining realm, which was a good growth compared to a lot of other beasts. Though it was a bit expected since they had the support of strong bloodlines.
Lin Wu even wondered if he should let Tim stay with the five juvenile lizards.
'They are children in the end… though Tim might just end up eating them for a snack.. Perhaps in the future then.'
Report chapter
Lin Wu and his subordinates talked for a while more before he finally sent them away.
The Twin Lights Liger King was going to focus on cultivating for the time being, as he felt a little pressured by Tim. It was understandable since he had been king for such a long time and had now become Lin Wu's subordinate.
For him, even if he was a subordinate, he wanted to be a high level subordinate. But now there was Tim, who could very well be stronger than him. Thus he felt like he needed to breakthrough as soon as possible.
The same could be said by the other servants and they felt like Lin Wu now had someone he cared about more and they couldn't help but feel a little jealous. They too decided to cultivate harder than before and get stronger and stronger.
All of this was exactly what Lin Wu wanted anyway, and he was thus happy with how things would go from here. At least he hoped that they would.
With the beasts gone, there was just Tim left in the hall.
"o_o" he was still sitting like a statue there without speaking since he had been threatened a few times with his crystal snacks being taken away.
The crystal snacks were what he called Lin Wu's crystals. Even though there were beast corpses and other resources with a higher amount of spirit Qi and vitality, Tim still liked the taste of the crystals better.
Lin Wu thought to himself about something and spoke.
"Are you hungry?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Yes." Tim answered.
"Okay…" Lin Wu said while narrowing his eyes.
He took out the corpse of a Child Soul stage Nascent soul realm, Four Winged Guna Griffin, and gave it to Tim.
"Eat?" Tim asked one last time.
"Go on." Lin Wu permitted.
"YEE!" Tim screamed before pouncing on the corpse.
~Crunch~
~munch~
~Crack~
Various sounds were heard as Tim devoured the beast that was twenty times bigger than him. Lin Wu was still astounded by the metabolism speed of Tim and even the system was at a loss as it still couldn't analyze him fully.
'Other than me, he definitely has the fastest metabolism.' Lin Wu thought.
"You're scanning all this, right system?" Lin Wu asked.
"Affirmative." It replied.
Lin Wu nodded his head and continued watching Tim devour the corpse. About twenty minutes later he was done and was now licking his paws that still had some blood left on them.
"Hmm…" Lin Wu furrowed his brows.
"Any change yet system?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Negative." It answered.
"Let's continue then…" Lin Wu said as he took out something even bigger.
It was a corpse that belonged to an Adult Soul Stage Nascent soul realm Four Winged Guna Griffin.
"Eat this too." Lin Wu threw the corpse in front of Tim, who couldn't stop salivating.
His pupils went wide in joy as he pounced on the corpse as well and let his mouth do the rest. This time it took him a little longer to finish eating it and thirty minutes passed. Lin Wu finally got a notification from the system and raised his brows.
~DING~
——
NOTIFICATION: Detected vitality change in target
NOTIFICATION: Detected unknown energy signatures from target
——
"So it's like this huh…" Lin Wu muttered as a theory formed in his mind.
But this was not enough for him and he wondered if he could push this a little more.
~lick~lick~
Tim had gone back to cleaning up the blood from his body, when he heard some really tempting words.
"Do you want to eat more?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Eat? More?" Tim repeated, finding it a bit unbelievable. "YES!" he shouted out loud enough to echo throughout the hall.
"Alright, let's turn up the stakes a little." Lin Wu said as he took out an even bigger corpse.
~THUD~
In front of him was now the Dao Shell realm Four Winged Guna Griffin's corpse. Lin Wu's eyes gazed at Tim, watching how he would react and saw that he did not pounce on it directly.
'He's getting better at control.' Lin Wu observed.
Lin Wu then extended his tail and morphed it to have a sharp edge.
~SLICE~
He ran it across one of the wings of the beast and cut it clean off.
~thud~
Lin Wu threw it in front of Tim, with a little heartache and spoke, "eat."
He quickly put the rest of the corpse away as he wanted to use it himself.
~drip~drip~drip~
Tim's mouth was like a waterfall of saliva and he quickly got to eating the wing too. He didn't mind if there were feathers or bones, he ate it all. The sharp and hard feathers were like chips to him and he broke them with ease.
The same could be said for the bones, though he had to struggle for a bit with them and gnawed them to fragments before swallowing them.
And while was doing this, the system was continuing to scan and analyze Tim's body. Lin Wu was getting live updates about all that system detected and was rather intrigued by this information.
~DING~
——
NOTIFICATION: Energy Signature detected
DATA BANKS: Updated
ANALYZING: New Energy signature
——
Lin Wu then saw as the system started to build a model of Tim using the energy signature as a reference.
'Using the corpse as the fuel, Tim produces as lot of energy. So much so that even his Earthen Depths Obsidian skin cannot stop it fully. This ends up leaking out and the system can now use that to scan him better.' Lin Wu understood.
All the food that he ate was metabolized by his body and let out some heat and energy as a effect. It was this very thing that the system was now reading.
It was like using a spectrometer to measure the emitting radiation from something and analyzing was contained within it using that as a reference. Except in this case, the radiation was the energy signature let out by Tim.
'The system sure is good at coming up with different solutions.' Lin Wu thought.
He continued to watch as Tim finished the wing after about an hour. It was slow since it took him longer to digest what he had already eaten. Plus, the bones and the feathers were also slightly harder to eat even if they weren't as much of an hindrance.
But once Tim was done eating, it felt like he had no energy left, which seemed to be ironic seeing just how much he head eaten.
~THUD~
Tim directly passed out and fell into a deep sleep.
~DING~
——
NOTIFICATION: Detected Energy spike!
——
Lin Wu narrowed his eyes as he saw a glow within Tim's body. He looked closer and saw that it looked like his Nascent soul.
"So it looks like this, huh…" Lin Wu muttered.
This was the first time seeing the Nascent soul since when Tim was a still a copper Hide Weasel and Lin Wu could perceive the difference in it.
"It has certainly changed the shape to match his current form. Plus, the energy within him is rather dense too. Far denser than any other human or beast I've seen till now." Lin Wu muttered.
He watched as the system continued measuring the energy signature until it finally reached a plateau and stabilized.
'Seems like this is it. Wonder how long he'll sleep this time.' Lin Wu thought before teleporting Tim to a different hall.
"Reinforce the walls of that hall, just in case system." Lin Wu ordered.
"Affirmative." The system simply replied.
Done with this little test, Lin Wu decided to focus on himself.
He took out several large logs from his storage and put them in a square manner. He then took out a large metal plate, which was something he had taken from one of the buildings a long time back.
"This should serve as a pan well enough." Lin Wu said as he ignited the logs and placed the metal plate on top.
With a little wind spirit Qi stoking the fire, the pan heated up real quick. And while that happened, Lin Wu went to skin and prepared the corpses that he had. One by one, the corpses of the Four Winged Guna Griffins were flayed and butchered.
He even took out a large bell that he had taken from someone he forgot about and turned it upside down to use as a container. In that, he put in a lot of herbs and spices to make a marinate and put all the meat chunks in it.
If anyone were to see the liberal use of such precious ingredients, they would be stunned and feel their hearts burning. Each and everything that Lin Wu used was valuable resources that many would die for.
Yet here he was, using them for marinating as if they were some common mortal vegetable.
But Lin Wu didn't care for the opinion of others and did what he wanted to.
"All nice and slathered up," Lin Wu said as he picked up one of the meat chunks and placed it on the pan.
~SIZZLE~
The melodious hiss of the meat being seared was like music to Lin Wu's ears and he watched it all cook with smiling eyes.
"Now to try it."
Picking up a cooked piece he put it in his mouth and almost moaned in joy.
"Ahh~ this is life!"
Having gotten the taste, Lin Wu couldn't hold back anymore and put all the chunks he haha prepared on to the pan and started cooking them.
All the while notifications popped up, showing that he was gaining spirit Qi by the droves.
Report chapter
In total, Lin Wu had eaten three Nascent soul realm Four Winged Guna griffins and one Dao Shell realm one. He watched as the final notification for the spirit Qi popped up once he had finished eating it all.
~DING~
——
SPIRIT QI OBTAINED: 14,142,186 units [Liquid spirit Qi]
SPIRIT QI STORAGE: 29,998,136 units [liquid spirit qi] - 44,140,322 units [liquid spirit qi]
VITAL ESSENCE OBTAINED: 2,984,617 Units
VITAL ESSENCE STORAGE: 22,239,909 Units - 25,224,526 Units
——
This increase was substantial for Lin Wu and he had gained almost 50% of the spirit Qi that he already had in the spirit Qi storage. Though the increase in vital essence was still less due to the side effect of poison.
"Damn, this is just too tempting." Lin Wu said.
He felt a little greedy and wondered if he really should go on a beast hunting spree. But the temptation soon faded away as he remembered the problems he would be bringing along with them.
'I mean… I don't necessarily have to go on a killing spree. As long as I space them out, it shouldn't really matter as much.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
Lin Wu knew about how the beings in an ecosystem mattered and if he really did what he was thinking of, it would end up greatly disturbing it. He didn't want to bring more problems when there was no need for them.
This would not only threaten the others but himself as well. He had already seen how the Southern Tusk Tapirs had to migrate and couldn't go to other areas nearby due to them being occupied by strong beasts.
This led to them entering the millennium forest and causing the war. While this was a slightly distant example, a lot more things similar to this could happen as well. He didn't want a headache where it could be avoided.
~Sigh~
"I shouldn't get carried away. They say cultivation needs patience and a steady heart; I've already sped through the cultivation realms rather fast in the past few years. I dunno if I've made mistakes in that either entirely." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
This gave him a lot to think about, and he spent a while on that. But in the end, he simply decided to cultivate and clear his mind.
'Just keep my eyes on the goal and refrain from the rest.' Lin Wu thought to himself as he circulated the Taiji Dual Unity Scripture's spirit Qi circuits and cultivated.
Spirit Qi surrounded his body and started being absorbed into it steadily. Lin Wu soon entered the flow and forgot about everything else, being entirely focused on cultivating. This state was hard for him to explain, it was as if everything else faded away and only spirit Qi existed for him.
Minutes turned into hours, and hours turned into days.
Lin Wu's cultivation session was tacitly understood by his servants and they knew not to disturb him in that time. Only when something importance came up would they even do something.
Plus over the years, they had been getting more and more proficient at handling things. The books and other educational materials Lin Wu had given them were actually being used by the beasts.
The Emeraldine Monkeys were obviously the ones learning the most and had greater intelligence compared to most beasts. Plus, two of them were even teaching this to the other beasts, becoming their teachers and conducting classes.
The best thing was that they were doing this on their own without actually being ordered to do so. It wasn't something that bothered Lin Wu thus he didn't even bother checking it. Additionally it was not something the system would report to him either since it didn't cause any trouble.
Lin Wu had alerts set for the system whenever something important or problematic happened. And something like the Emeraldine Monkey's teaching others was not considered in it.
In addition to that, there was a new generation of beasts being born in the forest. It was something happening all over the forest and was only sped up due to the increasing spirit Qi of the forest.
First were the insect beasts being born in the territory of the Split Thorn Horn Beetle king, then there were the other monkey beasts being born in the Slim Arm Ape King's territory. The strangest thing though, was the fact that they were stronger than the earlier generations.
Right from the start, they were nourished in higher concentration of spirit Qi, and additional got to consume better resources if they lived in Lin Wu's influence or his subordinates.
Lin Wu's orders to farm and cultivate spirit herbs and fruits had helped the beasts' progress quite a bit and they were now doing it voluntarily. They were finding the merits in it as they didn't need to search for them and could get them whenever they wanted in a set location.
Of course, it was not free and there was a certain price involved. The beasts were not on the level of humans yet, of course, so they either bartered or paid in labor. There was always the need to expand the farms and orchards, thus the beasts could help in plowing the soil, as well as other tasks.
Even the dung of several beasts was useful, and they could use that as manure to fertilize the soil. As a shock to those beasts, they ended up becoming a bit 'richer' as they could simply sell their own dung in exchange for resources.
Unknowingly, Lin Wu's presence had greatly brought forth the state of the forest. The beasts had gotten stronger, while also getting peaceful at the same time. The increased intelligence and knowledge was also allowing them to do more things.
This wasn't even his goal originally, but Lin Wu had ended up making something that would soon be a shocking thing for the entire Ming Dao world.. The inhabitants of the forest didn't know this either and had special destinies to follow.
Report chapter
A month passed in the blink of an eye since Lin Wu's return.
The Millennium forest was mostly peaceful, but soon there was going to be something that would cause an uproar.
In one of the caves of the Dark Bloom Caverns, a certain beast was on the cusp of a breakthrough.
~Rumble~
Breaths that felt like thunder were heard in the cave. At first, someone would think that it was actual thunder, but it was just the way the Twin Lights Liger King cultivated. He was currently lying on the ground as black and white lights alternated in his eyes.
At the same time, his chest moved and large amounts of spirit Qi were sucked into his body. It was obvious that the amount being absorbed was far greater than normal and couldn't be accomplished easily.
Usually it was the spirit Qi infusion one would experience when they broke through, but in the case of the Twin Lights Liger King, it was different. With each breath that he took, he could feel his bloodline stirring.
He had not felt something like this in a long time and the last time that he did feel like it was when Lin Wu broke through.
Back then, all the beasts had a battle of the bloodlines as they resonated together. It was also the first time that the Twin Lights Liger King had been suppressed in a long time. His first defeat after a long time was due to Lin Wu and the second time was also due to him.
Honestly, he had mixed feeling about it all. On one hand, Lin Wu had taken his throne that he did like somewhat despite the fact that it was what shackled him in the first place and then on the other hand Lin Wu was also the one that freed him.
In the end, the Twin Lights Liger King had become a subordinate under Lin Wu as well, along with having some part of Lin Wu's bloodline within him.
'This bloodline… how can it do something like this?' The Twin Lights Liger King wondered.
His current state was actually caused due to the Emeraldine Legion Bloodline that Lin Wu had given to the Twin Lights Liger King. It was mostly inactive for the Twin Lights Liger King other than the features that allowed him to communicate and sense others.
But now, it was showing something hidden which he didn't know about at all and neither had Lin Wu warned him about it. At first, the Twin Lights Liger King was shooed and nervous about it all, thinking that he might end up harming himself.
After all, mistakes during breakthrough weren't uncommon and the higher one went, the more likely it was that there would be difficulties when breaking through. First of all, cultivation was going against the heavens, thus they liked to test all the creatures that did that.
But after an hour or so, the Twin Lights Liger King understood that what was happening was not harmful for him. Rather than that, it was beneficial. The Emeraldine Legion Bloodline had seemingly stimulated his original bloodline and triggered something unknown.
He could feel the hidden power rising from his bloodline and strengthening his entire body.
This increase came in waves and was nerve wracking at the same time. The Twin Lights Liger King had to really focus in order to make the best use of it.
In his current state, he discovered that spirit Qi was like a moth being attracted to a flame. It willingly rushed towards him, only to be sucked into his body.
In just the past hour, he had gained more spirit Qi than he had gained in the entire past year. It was a stunning discovery and the Twin Lights Liger King didn't know what to exactly think of.
Hence, he did the one thing he could, shut off any unnecessary thoughts and only focus on cultivating.
~HONG~
A humming sound came from his Nascent soul as the bloodline's effect reached its peak.
~ROAR!!!!!~
The Twin Lights Liger King let out an involuntary roar as blinding light shot out from one of his eye while equally blinding darkness shot out of the other. The two were like oil and water, touching and flowing around each other, but not mixing.
~ROAR!!!~
The Twin Lights Liger King's Roar shook the entire cave and echoed within it. It was powerful enough to escape it and spread all around the sky, covering the millennium forest. If the Twin Lights Liger King's breaths were like thunder, then his roar was like a quake.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" Several beasts were startled by the sudden roar.
The stronger ones were surprised, while the weaker ones were downright terrified.
~SHUA~
A very strong wave of spirit Qi spread across several hundred kilometers, reaching the very edge of the millennium forest and even a little further. The source of it was of course, none other than the Twin Lights Liger King.
~BOOM~
The beast felt a strange urge and directly broke through the roof of the cave, appearing in the sky.
~ROAR!~
He let out a roar as two beams of light shots out from his eyes. In the night sky, they looked like beacons and illuminated it.
"Huh? Why are there lights in the forest?" A few of the humans that were camping near the edge of the millennium forest wondered.
From their attire, one could tell that they were normal warriors and not cultivators. Some among them were very curious about it, but then they were hit by the pressure that accompanied the spirit Qi wave.
~thud~
A few of them directly fell to the ground and their faces turned pale with fear.
"RUN! RUNNNNNN!!!" They shouted and ran with all their might.
Back at the forest, a vortex of spirit Qi formed around the Twin Lights Liger King and his pace of absorbing it increased, until finally it happened.
His nascent soul jumped out of his dantian and appeared above his head.. Then along the side of the Nascent soul appeared an illusory figure of a sphere.
Report chapter
The chaos in the forest was something that was obviously discovered by the former rulers, along with the stronger servants of Lin Wu.
"Head out! We need to calm the beasts!" The head of the Emeraldine Monkeys ordered.
"YES!" They all replied before flying out.
"I'll check on the insect beasts!" The Emeraldine Horn Beetle spoke.
"We'll get the bird beasts in order." The Emeraldine High Wind sparrow and Emeraldine Winged Swan chimed in.
"And I'll take care of the rest!" The Deep Earth Emeraldine Mole stated.
With their duties quickly divided, the beasts split up to get the chaos under control. The same thing happened with the Demon Spine ape, the Split Thorn Horn beetle King and the Demon Spine ape.
In fact, the Demon Spine Ape king was the first one to act.
Currently in the north western corner of the millennium forest, the Demon Spine Ape could be seen doing somethings.
~BOOM~
"Anyone else wanna try?" The Demon Spine Ape said in a threating manner.
In front of him were several hundred beasts that seemed to be terrified and under him was a large wolf that was squished to death. These beasts were mostly the weaker and less intelligent ones that were easily agitated by their instinct.
To them, speaking was not really useful and direct threats were the better option. This with a little strong arming, The Demon Spine Ape could stop them in their tracks.
~CRY~
The beasts let out wary cries, seeing the Demon Spine ape and the former ruler nodded his head.
"I thought so… Now then… no one is to cross this point and are to return to their nests. The things happening right now will calm down soon enough." The Demon Spine Ape said before flying away.
Similar scenes happened in other place, some needing more violence than others. But in the end, Lin Wu's system worked, and the beasts were finally suppressed. Even if their instincts were telling them to run away, the power of the Nascent soul realm beasts stopped them.
Plus, their aim in stopping the beasts was not that they were going to go towards where the Twin Lights Liger King was and disturb his breakthrough; no, the beasts were afraid of that beast and were going in the opposite direction.
But going this way meant that, more likely than not, these beasts would end up meeting humans and will probably kill a few. Additionally, the number of beasts running away would be massive and could easily be perceived as a beast tide, bringing chaos among the humans.
Lin Wu certainly didn't want that to happen, and his servants knew that as well. Besides, even if it Lin Wu were not here, the rulers would still not let something like this happens as it would only mean a closer scrutiny by the sects and some slaughter to cull the beast numbers.
By preventing the beasts from leaving the forest, this was prevented and overall safety of the millennium forest was maintained.
While all this happened though, the one who had originally set such directives was completely unaware of it. Lin Wu was deep in cultivation and had set the system notifications to be delayed unless something really dangerous happened.
And for him, chaos like this in the forest was still tolerable.
In the many meetings he had with his servants and subordinates, Lin Wu had set guidelines on what could be done and what could not be done, along with the various situations that they may face.
Of course, the system was a great guide in this and simulated a few thousands scenario along with the optimum course of action to resolve or suppress them. These were then fed into the crystals Lin Wu made and given to the beasts to be used whenever they felt like they were lost or confused.
The system named them as 'Administrative Survival Manual (Version 1.0)', which Lin Wu didn't really care to change and kept as it is. The Emeraldine monkey beasts had taken to the manual very quickly and were the most versed in it.
They were also the ones that were to be contracted when problems happened and the servant beasts couldn't do something. Only the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape was excluded from a lot of the duties due to something else Lin Wu had given him.
His duty was special and he wouldn't appear outside the shrine normally either. Additionally, he had to look after the humans that were cultivating there as well. With the current numbers that they had there, Lin Wu had asked Wang Xiong if he would like to send more of them to get the inheritance.
Wang Xiong had decided that they would do this after the situation in the Frozen Cloud sect actually stabilized. In the mean time, the disciples in the forest were to cultivate and get stronger.
That way, Wang Xiong would have additional trump cards to play if the problems in the sect increased. Since they would be proper disciples of the sect, they would be free from the restrains and no one could question their rights there, unlike the external people that the Frozen Cliff Division was using.
Back at the location where the Twin Lights Liger King was, spirit Qi was stirring like crazy. A vast amount of spirit Qi gathered over the Twin Lights Liger King, pulling in spirit Qi from all over the Millennium forest.
It kept on spinning until it actually got dense enough to become visible. Now instead of an invisible vortex, it looked more like a pale white tornado. At the bottom of the tornado was the Twin Lights Liger King along with his nascent soul.
~WHOOSH~
The Tornado picked up speed and started to deposit the spirit Qi into the air at the side of the Nascent soul. At first it looked like it was disappearing into thin air, but after about five minutes, an illusory figure of a flat disk appeared there instead.
If human cultivators were to see this, they would be stunned as this was a Dao Shell!
