Chapter 721 – The Supreme Elder's End
The Supreme elder couldn't believe his eyes upon seeing his Dao Shell crack.
"No! NO! NOOO!!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!" the man shouted madly.
Unfortunately for him, no matter how much he wanted to deny it there was no way he could change his fate now.
~KACHA~
The blade didn't stop there and continued breaking apart the Dao Shell. By the time it was half way through, the integrity of the Dao Shell was fully compromised.
~SHATTER~
Then finally, it happened…
~SPLAT~
The Supreme elder spat out a massive amount of blood and felt the spirit Qi within his body leaking out. His control over his cultivation base started to fall and he knew that he didn't have long now.
"You… you did this… you destroyed my sect… killed my son… crippled me…" The Supreme elder said unwillingly.
"Yep." Lin Wu replied.
He couldn't care less about a man that was already half dead. If it were not for the vitality of a Dao Treading realm cultivator he would have long since died. Just the poison alone should have been enough to kill him several times over.
Though it was also important data for the system since it could analyze and learn from this. It would further improve when its results in the future when it derived new things. And the improvement in the techniques would also be a benefit.
But at this time a surge of madness took over the Supreme elder.
"I'LL KILL YOU ALONG WITH MYSELF!!! AHAHAHAHAHAH!" The old man laughed crazily.
The Dao embryo that was now left bare open in the air started to tremble and a vast energy surged out of it.
All others that were watching it were terrified at this scene and knew what the Supreme elder was attempting to do.
"NO!" The twin lights liger king shouted. "Stop him!"
Tim didn't know much and simply drooled seeing the Dao Embryo. As soon as the Dao Embryo was not protected by the Dao Shell, Tim felt a tantalizing aroma coming from it.
"Tasty Ice…" Tim muttered as he drooled.
The Dao Embryo was quite literally a icicle so his word's weren't really wrong..
~CRUNCH~
But the enchanted look in Tim quickly disappeared as he saw a scene that broke his heard.
"NO!!!! MY POPSICLE!" Tim yelled with surprising vocabulary.
The Supreme elder too was stunned as he saw the absurd scene in front of him.
"Oof! Too cold. Brain freeze!" Lin Wu said as he rubbed his head.
"Y-you… Y-you… YOU ATE MY DAO EMBRYO!?" The Supreme elder said and felt his head spinning.
~whoosh~
.
.
.
.
~thud~
Soon after saying that, his body swayed and fell to the ground with a loud thud.
"Aannnnnd… he's dead." Lin Wu said as he felt the last signs of life fizzling out of the Supreme elder's body.
Even his Nascent soul directly dissipated due to the massive amount of damage it had sustained along with the multiple backlashes the old man ended up enduring. He didn't even get to escape with his Nascent soul as Lin Wu had taken away that chance at the very start.
Even if a beast or a cultivator died and they tried escaping using their Nascent soul, they would end up dying to the ambient radiation that was spread around by Lin Wu. It was an additional safe guard to prevent any enemy from escaping.
While it would end up causing him a loss of spirit Qi since he wouldn't get to eat the Nascent soul, it was still the better choice than letting an enemy survive and take revenge later on in the future.
~Phew~
"That was way more stressful than I thought…" Lin Wu took a breath of relief.
He was truly tired right now. Not just mentally but also physically due to the sheer amount of spirit Qi he had used up in his attacks. Even if he had broken though very recently and should have had a large amount of spirit Qi stores, the skills he had used one after the others were no joke.
Just the skill that Lin Mu had used from the Immortal Sky Shaker Art, the Obliterating Tempest was enough to consume a quarter of Lin Wu's spirit Qi at once. It was a skill that could not be used easily and was one of the highest ranking skills among the Immortal Sky Shaker art.
It was a skill that even Shirong couldn't use even if his proficiency with the Immortal Sky Shaker art was higher than Lin Wu. Rather in this case it wasn't a matter of quality but rather sheer quantity.
Even for an average Dao Treading Realm cultivator the Immortal Sky Shaker Art: Obliterating Tempest would be no less than a full power attack of theirs.
Lin Wu's spirit Qi stores were massive right now and could easily exceeded those of Dao Treading realm experts at this point. Though he had yet to get a proper measure for that. The sample size that the system and Lin Wu had for that was very small after all.
The only two proper scans that Lin Wu had managed to gets in all this time was from the Supreme elder right now and Zhu Tianying when she had broken through. Zhu Tianying was an outlier and had a massive capacity due to her bloodline thus Lin Wu couldn't really take her as an example.
Thus in a way the Supreme elder was the first proper subject at the Dao Treading Realm he's had till now.
The Twin Lights Liger struggled to stand up and walked towards the corpse of the Supreme elder. He still felt doubtful and checked the old man himself, ensuring that he was dead.
~phew~
"Heavens… he's finally dead." The Twin Lights Liger King took a breath of relief.
~KIII~
~thud~
But just as he finished speaking he felt a strong force hitting him.
"GODDAMMIT! I'm still injured for heavens sake!" The Twin Lights Liger King yelled as he was sent flying by Tim's careless tackle.
"HEYY!!!" Lin Wu shouted seeing what Tim was about to do.
His tail swiped down and swatted Tim away.
~PEWWWWWW~
Tim soared away in the sky, but there was a smile on his face as his eyes curled up in a smile too.
"FUCK! HE STILL GOT IT!" Lin Wu saw the leg in Tim's jaws.
He looked back at the dead body of the Supreme elder and saw the missing leg. Tim had successfully managed to bite away a leg before Lin Wu could do anything.
~THUD~
Tim's body collided with an invisible barrier and made it flicker under the force.
~SKREEET~
His spiky body scraped down the side of the barrier before finally falling back down. But Tim didn't care for anything and simply finished the leg in his mouth.
"Delish…" Tim said one last time before closing his eyes and passing out.
"And there he goes sleeping again…" Lin Wu shook his head.
Even if Tim had only eaten a single leg of the Supreme elder, it was still the leg of a Dao Treading realm cultivator. The weasel beast had only had a Dao Shell realm beast as the highest cultivation base food before and thus this was a little overwhelming for him.
Though Lin Wu was sure that the beast would be up and running soon enough.
'His metabolism will adapt and boost his cultivation pretty fast.' Lin Wu knew for sure.
~Sigh~
Lin Wu could only sigh to himself and let it go.
"He did work pretty well this time though. I would have given him some part if he waited a bit more anyway." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
Tim did deserve the leg according to Lin Wu since it was Tim who had managed to hold back the Supreme elder for all this time along with the Twin Lights liger king. If not for the two of them holding back, Lin Wu would have been unable to breakthrough and all would haw been for naught.
Lin Wu looked at the injured Twin Lights Liger King before extending his tail.
~slick~
"HEY! AT LEAST WARN ME BEFORE STABBING ME!" The Twin Lights Liger King said, tears almost appearing in his eyes.
"I'm just healing you. Like I promised." Lin Wu said.
"Alright, alright…" The Twin Lights Liger King replied helplessly.
"System, get him healed." Lin Wu spoke..
~DING~

Lin Wu watched the new window that had just appeared. It showed the blockages in the Twin Lights Liger King's body and also the injuries that it had sustained. With the continuous injection of Vital essence, the system started to guide the beast's natural healing to recover and regenerate the body.
The Vital Essence that Lin Wu had was rather pure and thus it would be no less than a top grade healing pill for most people. Additionally it would have no problems such as pill toxins and could be directly used by the body.
Lin Wu didn't really use his Vital essence for others since it felt the same as draining his own life to heal others to him. It wasn't really a pleasant feeling to him. He wouldn't really use it unless it was really important to him.
~DING~

NOTIFICATION: Healing completed
Note: the target will need to rest for about a month to recover the remaining injuries naturally.

"That's good enough." Lin Wu said before taking a look at the Twin Lights Liger who had fallen asleep too.
~Sigh~
"Looks like I'm gonna have to carry them home this time."
Report chapter
Chapter 722 – Conclusion Of The Battle, Meeting Wang Xiong And Ye Jin
Watching the two subordinates of his that were in deep sleep now, Lin Wu sighed to himself.
~shua~
But just as he did that, he saw the barrier of the Frozen Brook division flickering.
"Oh? Are they finally ready to come out?" Lin Wu said as his spirit sense spread.
It easily passed through the barrier, which was already coming down, and discovered all the members of the Frozen Brook Division that had been observing it all.
"Well, that was understandable. Though this is certainly a bit more open than I thought. Looks like I'll have to change the plans a bit." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he saw a couple fly out from the top of a peak.
The couple came to stand before Lin Wu and bowed deeply.
"Senior," Wang Xiong and Ye Jin said with immense respect.
"Thank you… Thank you for your help." Wang Xiong said, his voice trembling slightly.
He had witnessed the fight from the very start and knew just how dangerous it all was. The most shocking thing was the revelation from the Supreme elder's power. They had never expected that he had progressed this far.
Wang Xiong had learned from his current master, the patriarch of the Frozen Cloud sect, and had obviously seen the man's power. He was stunned to find out that the supreme elder's power was not that far off from Patriarch Bing's.
"Yes. If not for Senior, I don't know if we could have lived for long." Ye Jing added as well.
"Mmhmm… It was indeed necessary. I don't believe this would end here, though." Lin Wu replied.
Hearing this, Wang Xiong trembled slightly.
"You mean to say…" Wang Xiong said lightly.
"Yes. There will probably be others that will now interfere. The news about the supreme elder dying and the situation of the Frozen Cloud sect will inevitably leak. Even I cannot ensure that it can be stopped.
The Weiyuan Chamber will take this opportunity, no doubt. They might even consider this grounds for revenge considering we did just kill their cash cow and ally." Lin Wu explained.
~clack~
Wang Xiong clenched his fist, making his bones pop.
"What do we do then, senior?" Wang Xiong asked.
"Well, the only way to take care of this would be to stabilize the sect first. You trust the patriarch, right?" Lin Wu replied.
"Yes. He is trustable. And he also has a friendly relationship with Guardian Yun, so it should be fine." Wang Xiong confirmed.
"Very well. Then he will have to deal with it. Though the endgame would be to have you take power officially." Lin Wu spoke.
"I know, senior. But that will take a while. I'll have to be at the very least in the Dao Shell realm to even be considered for the position. Besides, Patriarch Bing is still in the prime of his life and won't be retiring from his position anytime soon." Wang Xiong stated.
"That's fine. You simply need to strengthen your own position. Even though it was unavoidable and what we did, the loss of the Frozen Cliff division will weaken the Frozen Cloud sect. The number of high leveled cultivators you had have effectively been halved." Lin Wu spoke truthfully.
With the help of the system, Lin Wu knew exactly how many people had died here and how many he had killed. Even if the lower ranked disciples were still alive, and their numbers were not that far reduced, the loss of elders was not something that could be solved easily.
If the Patriarch was the backbone of the sect, then the elders were the ribs and limbs. Without them, the sect would be efficiently crippled.
"Then… the other sects and powers will also be acting, won't they?" Ye Jin said, understanding Lin Wu's words.
"Indeed. The main threat will come from them. While the Weiyuan chamber is the problem, they won't act out in the open. With their mode of action, they would much rather attack with a borrowed knife.
Them inciting the other powers and sects won't be that hard either." Lin Wu replied.
Ye Jin and Wang Xiong's expressions darkened as they understood the potential future they would have to face.
"We have to get Guardian Yun out." Wang Xiong spoke after a minute of silence.
"Yes, let's do that." Lin Wu spoke.
"Wait, we need the key from the supreme elder." Wang Xiong replied.
"A key?" Lin Wu asked.
"The key to the sealing formation. It should be on the supreme elder. Originally it was Elder Qianshu who held it, but he should have handed it to the supreme elder since it would be safer with him." Wang Xiong replied.
"Let's see then." Lin Wu said and pulled the corpse of the supreme elder towards them.
Looking at the heavily damaged corpse that was missing a leg, Ye Jin shivered. This was the worst condition she had ever seen someone in; even if they were dead right now. She couldn't help but subconsciously imagine herself in the situation.
Wang Xiong frisked the corpse and soon found the spatial storage tool that the Supreme elder kept.
"That's his spatial storage tool?" Lin Wu was surprised.
"Yes." Wang Xiong replied.
"I don't feel any spatial or spirit Qi fluctuations from it." Lin Wu spoke.
"That is understandable. This is a peak grade spirit tool, after all. One of the few our sect has." Wang Xiong said while holding what looked like a hair clip.
It was hidden inside the long hair of the supreme elder and was not seen by Lin Wu. The surprising thing was it was still undamaged even after bearing the collateral impact of Lin Wu's attacks.
'System scan the thing.' Lin Wu ordered, feeling interested.

——
Chapter 723 – Deep Holding Mantis Clip And Key To Yun Bai's Seal
Seeing as how the System already had information about it in the Data bank, Lin Wu understood that it was actually a well known spirit tool.
Usually Peak grade spirit tools would be very rare and difficult to make. Thus, their numbers would take a while to grow over the years. This would also give the people enough time to learn about them.
Their sales and production would also be rather high profile and would get a lot of bids on them. After all, the Spirit tool refiner would advertise his creations as much as possible so that he could get back the value of his hard work.
It would also serve as a way to increase their reputation and skill.
Thus, other than very few spirit tools that were intentionally kept secret, the rest would be well known in the cultivation world and be recorded in many places.
This was especially for important spirit tools like spatial storage tools. They were considered necessary spirit tools that every cultivator should have. Someone might not need a weapon or some other spirit tool, but everyone would need a spatial storage tool.
And the spatial storage tools that had high capacity were only that much expensive.
Even for peak grade spatial storage tool, the Deep Holding Mantis clip had rather expansive capacity. Which showed its value.
"This is something rather good…" Lin Wu muttered and checked more information that system had found.
Switching the windows, Lin Wu saw the origins of the Deep Holding Mantis Clip.
It was not actually made in the Frozen Cloud sect and was acquired from an independent spirit tool refiner several hundred years ago.
Wang Xiong tried to access the Spatial storage tool but was at a loss.
"Senior, I can't get though it. Even with the spirit sense brand gone, it is still inaccessible." Wang Xiong spoke.
"What!? Is it broken!?" Ye Jin said anxiously.
"It is just locked." Lin Wu replied. "Let me have a look."
"Here you go, Senior." Wang Xiong handed the clip to Lin Wu.
'System, unlock it,' Lin Wu ordered.
~shua~
Wang Xiong and Ye Jin then saw Lin Wu touching the clip and making several small runes appear in the air. The runes all spun around the clip before taking place at a specific spot.
'He's unraveling it on the fly?' Ye Jin was stunned.
She could somewhat understand what Lin Wu was doing, and it was rather shocking to her. Unraveling a formation or formation array was not easy and if a cultivator wanted to do that, they would first study what the formulations were.
Then they would have to verify which permutation and combinations of runes were used to make that version of formation.
It was all a very long an exhaustive process and only those that were greatly experienced and learned in formations would be able to do what Lin Wu was doing.
After all, not everyone had access to a massive Data Bank like the system did.
Wang Xiong also watched everything that Lin Wu did carefully, not forgetting to learn as much as he could from it.
He knew just how valuable this little act could be. After all, even the elders of the sect that were proficient in formations didn't teach like this. Their demonstration was rather lengthy and roundabout.
While Lin Wu was demonstrating a direct method.
After about ten minutes, the runes all joined together and turned into a spherical formation that sank into the Deep Holding Mantis clip.
~HONG~
Once that happened, the clip let out a vibrating sound and settled down.
"It is done." Lin Wu spoke.
Feeling impressed, Wang Xiong carefully checked the Deep Holding Mantis clip for the key and soon found it. He didn't even flinch, seeing the massive amounts of resources that were in the Supreme elder's storage.
No amount of resources would be enough to shock him right now after seeing Lin Wu's battle against the supreme elder and his current demonstration.
Neither did he desire those resources. To him, all of them belonged to Lin Wu rightfully and he would have no say in it. Even if he was offered them, Wang Xiong would deny them rather than displease Lin Wu.
"So that's the key?" Lin Wu asked.
"Yes. From the intel we got, this should be the key." Wang Xiong holding a small indigo colored bead.
Lin Wu got the system to check it just in case and got the confirmation that it really was the key to a formation array.
"Let's go then." Lin Wu stated.
The three of them flew to the peak where the Guardian was sealed and came to stand in sky at the very top.
"Let's see if this works." Wang Xiong said and lifted the indigo bead.
~shua~
The bead automatically floated out of his hand and flew towards the invisible barrier.
~HONG~
It touched the barrier and several concentric circles of runes appeared around it. The barrier became visible and several chain like processes could be seen inside it. The chains looked like they were anchored to the air and the other end was tying up what looked like a white sphere.
The white sphere was about three meters in diameter and nothing could be inside it.
'One, two… six… twelve restrains. They actually made such a restraining formation array.' Lin Wu noted.
Some of these were even seen in the Taiji Celestial's tomb, thus Lin Wu knew how powerful they could be. Even with the system's help, it would take at least a couple of days for Lin Wu to break the seal.
'This might actually be stronger than my defenses,' Lin Wu thought to himself.
He understood that such a formation array couldn't just be made by anyone and would have taken a very long time to make.
'This was made especially with the Yun Bai in mind. There is no other way it could be this specific to counter his abilities. There is even a bloodline seal included.' Lin Wu analyzed.
~HUMM~
Finally, the bead finished its word and dispelled all the restrains!

Chapter 724 – Essence Transfusion Technique
~shua~
Once the formation arrays disappeared and the restraints were lifted, the white sphere in the depths of the mountain trembled.
~Crack~
~Crack~ Crack~
Cracks spread over it and copious amounts of Frosty air leaked out from it along with a spirit Qi wave that seemed to be a bit violent. About ten seconds later, it finally shattered apart completely.
~KACHA~
"HRAAAAAAA!!!" An almost beastly roar was heard as a handsome looking old man came out from the shattered white sphere.
But even if he was handsome, right now his face was contorted in anger and his eyes were red with fury. Sharp nails could be seen on his hands that were curled up like claws. Long canines could also be seen protruding from the corner of his lips.
Wang Xiong and Ye Jin were covered in cold sweat and were almost knocked away from the force of the attack, but Lin Wu shielded them. The force was a full power attack from a Dao Shell realm cultivator and would easily kill most people if they felt it.
"Calm down!" Lin Wu called out.
Yun Bai who had been perpetually furious for a while, now heard a familiar voice. He looked up and saw a towering figure in front of him.
"Lin Wu?" The Demon beast finally came to his senses and his anger started to fall.
"What happened?" Yun Bai asked in confusion.
"We released you from the seal." Lin Wu calmly spoke.
He understood that perhaps Yun Bai couldn't even tell how much time had passed by.
'He might have been trying to break the seal non stop since he was sealed. Considering his current appearance, it looks likely,' Lin Wu thought, seeing the tattered robes.
Most of the damage looked to be self inflicted due to rebounds that might have happened due to the white sphere.
"How?" Yun Bai questioned, still feeling a bit confused.
"WHERE IS THE SUPREME ELDER!?" Yun Bai yelled as he recalled the main perpetrator.
"He's dead. You don't need to worry. The entire Frozen Cliff division's elders are dead." Lin Wu answered.
Upon hearing this, Yun Bai's aura fell down, almost like a balloon fizzling out.
~thud~
He fell to the ground, and his aura greatly weakened. His spirit Qi fluctuations reduced, but a lot as well.
"Guardian Yun!" Wang Xiong called out in shock.
"System, check him." Lin Wu immediately ordered.

CURRENT STATUS: The target has signs of severe Qi depletion and has taxed his body's vitality. The bloodline of the target has also been suppressed for too long and has weakened him over all.

Lin Wu furrowed his brows upon seeing this. He had not expected Yun Bai to deteriorate this far, even if he had been sealed. It only made him that much alarmed about the sealing formation.
"System, make sure you analyze that formation array and extrapolate methods to break it." Lin Wu spoke. "Also, what can be done for Yun Bai now?" he asked.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: Yun Bai's bloodline is weakened, but its source is not damaged. With enough rest and some healing resources, he should be able to recover to his peak in about a year's time.
Caution: he should not strain his cultivation base too much or he will risk going into Qi deviation and might even regress his cultivation base.
——
Lin Wu raised his tail and touched the tired looking old man.
~shua~
His tail glowed lightly, and Yun Bai suddenly felt a warmth traveling into his body.
"W-what?" Yun Bai was taken aback.
He could feel the damage in his body starting to heal. Not just that, he could feel the vitality that he had burned returning as well.
"What are you doing? This technique…" Yun Bai asked.
Wang Xiong and Ye Jin too looked curiously, wondering what Lin Wu was doing.
Suddenly, Yun Bai seemed to have recalled something and his expression changed.
"Stop! Stop using this! The Essence Transfusion Technique is no joke! You'll harm your longevity!" Yun Bai screamed upon realizing what Lin Wu was doing.
But it was not just Yun Bai whose expression changed upon hearing his words. Wang Xiong and Ye Jin were the same.
"The essence transfusion technique…?!" Ye Jin muttered in shock.
"Senior used that?" Wang Xiong was no less shocked.
Both of them knew what the Essence Transfusion Technique was and its effect. After all, Wang Xiong had experienced its effects once, and Ye Jin was the one who had used it.
He couldn't help but recall the withered and old Ye Jin who had died in his arms back in the trials of the Taiji Celestial. Back then, in order to save Wang Xiong, Ye Jin had used the forbidden technique and restored him to his peak at the expense of her very own life.
The Essence Transfusion Technique was a forbidden technique that used the very longevity of a being and used that to heal and restore another person. It was considered a dark technique and was originally brought by invaders in the past.
The invaders would teach this technique to their slaves and then force them to use it on them so that they could heal. This was one of the reason why there were so many people that the invaders captured.
They would have entire cities filled with just slaves and more slaves, whose sole purpose was to cultivate and then use the Essence Transfusion technique on their masters.
It was a technique that had long since been deemed forbidden by the sects and the three great guardian clans in the past. While traces of it had been mostly removed from the secular world, the sects and the clans still kept copies of them in their records.
After all, even if it was a forbidden technique, it was one that was very useful. Though it would mostly kill the person who used it.
It would have been fine if the technique could be stopped after the other person was healed, but that was something only a very strong cultivator could do. But the cultivators who were made to use this technique were mostly weak ones that would die in just a single use.
"Oh, shut up!" Lin Wu suddenly scoffed.
"You think this little thing can hurt me? What made you think I'm using the inferior version that you call the Essence Transfusion technique?" Lin Wu spoke.
"Huh?" Yun Bai and the couple were all stunned upon hearing this.
"You're not using that technique, senior?" Wang Xiong asked.
"No! This is something entirely different!" Lin Wu replied.
It was then that Wang Xiong remembered that Lin Wu was not like them. In his mind, Lin Wu was a being from a higher world who used to have a far greater cultivation base. So it made sense to him that he might have some other technique that could do the same.
"What are you doing, then?" Yun Bai asked.
"I'm just transferring Vital Essence to you and healing you." Lin Wu replied.
"But isn't that the same thing?" Ye Jin asked, feeling confused.
"Nope. The Essence Transfusion Technique uses up your very longevity to heal. I'm using my own Vital essence to heal. The higher form of the Vital Energy that you all are used to." Lin Wu informed.
The two of them felt enlightened at hearing this and Yun Bai too, was surprised.
"This technique… doesn't it still harm you?" Yun Bai asked.
"I mean, it can. If I use it till I'm out of vital essence." Lin Wu replied. "But that will take a while…" he said while looking at the window in the corner of his eye.
~DING~
——
VITAL ESSENCE TRANSFERED: 3,021,964 units
VITAL ESSENCE STORAGE: 36,500,000 Units - 33,478,036 Units
——
The three of them had confused Lin Wu's normal method of transferring Vital Essence to be the Essence Transfusion Technique.
"They really should change that name. It isn't really accurate. Make it Life Transfusion technique or something." Lin Wu muttered.
The two names were pretty close and could be easily mistaken by others.
"Well… Thank you for this." Yun Bai said, not knowing what else to say.
"This will heal some of your injuries. But the more deep seated ones will take a while to heal on their own. And your cultivation base will also need to be stabilized by yourself." Lin Wu replied.
After about five minutes, Lin Wu lifted his tail and stopped the process.
~DING~
——
VITAL ESSENCE TRANSFERED: 478,036 units
VITAL ESSENCE STORAGE: 33,478,036 Units - 33,000,000 Units
——
'There… I even gave him a little extra to make the number even.' Lin Wu muttered in his mind.
With this done, Yun Bai felt a lot better.
"What exactly happened?" Yun Bai finally asked.
"It's a long story. Why don't you tell this time, Wang Xiong?" Lin Wu spoke.
"Umm, sure!" Wang Xiong hurriedly replied.
He then narrated all that had happened after Yun Bai got sealed. Him calling for Lin Wu's help and the actions of the Frozen Cliff division.
Yun Bai really didn't know what to think after hearing that Lin Wu had slaughtered pretty much the entirety of the Frozen Cliff Division. Right now only some disciples were left alive but all Elders of it were killed.
'I might have done it differently, but in the current situation, there isn't really a way to complain,' Yun Bai thought to himself.
Ideally, he would have liked it if the supreme elder, elder Qianshu, and some of the more loyal elders of the division were killed while leaving the others alive.. This way, the sect would not be weakened too much.
Report chapter
Chapter 725 – Elder Weizhe's Acts
Wang Xiong explained everything to Yun Bai and Lin Wu chimed in from time to time as well.
All this took about fifteen minutes, after which Yun Bai finally understood it all.
"This… will take a lot of work." Yun Bai spoke.
"That might be an understatement." Wang Xiong muttered.
"Mmm… there is one thing though: you will have to leave before the patriarch arrives." Yun Bai said looking at Lin Wu.
Lin Wu looked at the old fox for a moment before nodding in understanding.
"Why though?" Ye Jin asked.
"Even if this was all to save you all, he did technically massacre nearly a third of the sect. No matter what, the patriarch will have to act on this and even if he doesn't want to, he'll need to at least challenge Lin Wu to reclaim the lost face of the Frozen Cloud sect." Yun Bai replied.
"How can that be? If not for senior the sect would have been taken over by traitors." Ye Jin said with concern.
"That's just how it is. If he does not do that, the ranking of the sect will fall even worse than it will now. The other sects will simply see this as a sign of weakness and will become even more brazen in their approach." Yun Bai answered.
Lin Wu had already understood and had a couple of plans to assuage this. Though they will have to come later when the situation stabilizes a bit more. The frozen Cloud sect was something that Lin Wu wanted under him and would benefit him a lot too.
Thus, it was better to not let it lose too much power and standing. He didn't want the investment he had made falling in value the moment he got it.
~humm~
But just as they talked about this, Wang Xiong felt the jade slip on his waist buzz.
"Hmm!?" he seemed far more surprised than normal.
"What happened?" Ye Jin asked.
"I got a message…" Wang Xiong muttered.
"So? Why are you so surprised? We've been getting the reports non stop from the others?" Ye Jin said.
The other members of the Frozen Brook Division and the elders had already started to prepare for the coming days since they would need to begin the recovery work. And as such, they sent the reports to Wang Xiong and Ye Jin about anything important.
They had not checked them right now since they were with Yun Bai and Lin Wu, but now Wang Xiong was prompted to check it.
"It's not that… this is not the jade slip we use… this is the one Patriarch Bing gave me." Wang Xiong spoke.
"Huh? He contacted you!?" Yun Bai spoke, his voice getting a bit hoarse.
"What did he say? Is he coming?" Ye Jin questioned.
"Yes… he's already quite near." Wang Xiong answered.
"How's that possible? He went to the Long clan for the meeting. Didn't they say all communication was restricted because of security purposes?" Ye Jin was confused.
"Someone went to get him… Elder Weizhe." Wang Xiong revealed.
"Him?" Ye Jin and Yun Bai both were surprised.
"Who's this guy?" Lin Wu asked.
"He's also one of the elders of the Frozen Cliff division." Wang Xiong spoke.
"So I missed one." Lin Wu spoke, but then realized something. "No wait. There's no way he got to the Long clan that fast. Was he not here in the sect?" he asked.
"No… apparently he left a while ago. We thought he was still in seclusion, but he went out secretly." Wang Xiong spoke.
Yun Bai furrowed his brows and thought of something.
"He probably guessed that the Supreme elder and his son would be acting soon. He went to get the patriarch so that it could be stopped somehow." Yun Bai said, his tone a bit doubtful.
"Hang on, he's from the Frozen Cliff Division, right? Why did he go to the patriarch? This is against their goals." Lin Wu asked, feeling confused.
~Sigh~
"That man…" Yun Bai shook his head. "He's stubborn, but still dedicated to the sect."
"You mean to say… he betrayed the Frozen Cliff division?" Lin Wu questioned, feeling interested in this man now.
"Seems like it. Elder Weizhe was always one of the more… milder elders. His stance was also in the middle about the division of the sect. I still don't know why he didn't join the Frozen Plains division and stayed with the Frozen Cliff division." Wang Xiong answered.
"Isn't that obvious? For more resources?" Ye Jin stated.
"No… he isn't one to go for that. Besides… his condition is such that no resources will help him. He's already at the end of his life." Yun Bai spoke up.
"He is?!" Wang Xiong and Ye Jin both were shocked.
Elder Weizhe was actually an important elder in the Frozen Cloud sect and was one of the oldest high elders.
"Yes, He is actually of a generation before the current Patriarch Bing or even the supreme elder." Yun Bai revealed.
"What is his cultivation base exactly?" Lin Wu questioned.
"He should be the same as me." Yun Bai answered.
"If that is so, then why did he not become the Supreme elder? Rightfully he could have been, couldn't he?" Wang Xiong asked.
~Sigh~
Hearing this, Yun Bai sighed again and a deep memory flashed in his eyes.
"It's a long story." Yun Bai spoke, feeling unwilling.
"Tell me the gist of it." Lin Wu prompted.
"I guess I could shorten it for you." Yun Bai couldn't exactly deny Lin Wu like he could with Wang Xiong and Ye Jin.
"He did actually get selected for the position of the Supreme elder." Yun Bai revealed.
"He did? But why is he not then?" Wang Xiong asked.
"Partly it was his choice, too. He didn't want to become one and deal with the great politics that come with it. And on the other hand, he fell to the schemes of the current supreme elder. Fearful that Elder Weizhe might usurp the position again, he secretly poisoned him. But not to kill him, simply to make it so that his cultivation would stagnate.." Yun Bai explained.

Chapter 726 – Leaving The Frozen Cloud Sect And More Growth
Hearing this information was enlightening for Wang Xiong and Ye Jin. They had not expected there to be such a tragedy behind the mild mannered elder.
"That's sad. Did the patriarch not do anything since Elder Weizhe was wronged?" Wang Xiong asked, feeling conflicted.
"There really wasn't much to do. Elder Weizhe was the one who told him not do to anything. His reasoning being that it would only strain the sect elder's relations more and increase the overall conflict.
So he simply accepted his situation and decided to be at peace." Yun Bai answered.
"I doubt I could do that… there is probably more to it than known." Lin Wu spoke, finding it absurd.
"There probably is. But since he chose to keep silent, there is not much we can do." Yun Bai agreed.
"Though now he seems to have come around." Wang Xiong added.
"Mmhmm… if he made the decision, knowing full well that he would be breaking off all links to the Frozen Cliff division, it should have been difficult for him." Yun Bai replied.
"That makes me wonder… if it will be a relief or more stress after he finds out the truth." Lin Wu said, sending more questions into their minds.
It was indeed an interesting dilemma to how a man like Elder Weizhe would act.
'He is quite an intriguing man. Perhaps he might come in handy too…' Lin Wu thought to himself as he went to pick up the Twin Lights Liger King and Tim.
"I should leave now." Lin Wu stated.
"Very well, senior." Wang Xiong replied.
"I'll handle the patriarch. See how we can work this out? Perhaps we might be able to spin this in our favor without making your position compromised." Yun Bai said, feeling tired.
"Even if that doesn't work… I still have some ways we can go. Don't worry, I'll inform you when the time is right." Lin Wu said and dug into the ground.
There were already plenty of holes, thus having an additional one was no longer a concern of his. His tail acted like a pincer and grabbed both the Twin Lights Liger King and Tim firmly before it wrapped around them.
It was like they were now on a train and Lin Wu's tail was the compartment.
"Time to head off…" Lin Wu said as he transformed into his drill mode with some extra modification.
Since he had the two beasts with him, he wouldn't be able to go as fast, but it would still be quite fast.
~Rumble~
Yun Bai and the rest of the sect could feel the ground rumble for a few seconds before it calmed down again. The ones that didn't know this was Lin Wu simply thought that it was due to the damage done to the formations, which was true.
~Phew~
"That was a long fight alright… also the toughest one." Lin Wu muttered as he took a breath of relief.
'Though I did gain quite a bit too.' Lin Wu thought about his cultivation.

There were several big changes that had happened to Lin Wu that he had not really checked up on before since he was in a rather… sensitive situation. But now that he finally got the time, and was traveling back, he reckoned he might as well check it.
"Oh boy, there's quite to go through." Lin Wu muttered.
The biggest change was of course, his cultivation base increasing and him reaching the Shell Completion stage of the Dao Shell realm.
'The requirement to upgrade is basically not there now.' Lin Wu thought. 'Though technically there is no limit to it. I can add as much I want or not.' He understood.
Then there was the improvement in his skills and techniques. Several of them had improved, including the Immortal Sky Shaker art. It had finally reached the third stage, which meant that Lin Wu could now use lightning elemental spirit Qi as well!
Usually being at the initiate stage didn't really give one the same capability that Lin Wu demonstrated. But in his case, he had a great advantage. Lin Wu was already somewhat used to controlling lightning and his control only improved more due to his main innate skill, the Radiation Manipulation skill.
It gave him better control over lightning and that combined with his great stores of spirit Qi, Lin Wu could perform a lot better than the average practitioner of the same technique.
Report chapter
Chapter 727 – Assessing The Gains
With the many changes Lin Wu saw in the Host Data it was hard for him to say that he wasn't happy with them.
Lin Wu saw that his innate skills had increased in proficiency as well.
"The skills I got from the Olive Viper King got better too." Lin Wu said as he read the info.
The Sound command skill had increased in proficiency due to his genial use and also the creation of the Undaunted Sapphire Blaze cleaver. The Sound command skill was used to misdirect the sound making the enemy confused about the attack and misread it.
It was a small addition, but to those enemies that were hyper sensitive and on the look out for sneak attacks, it would freak them out. They would think that the attack in front of them was fake and the true one might be coming from the back.
And even if they didn't think that, they would still have this doubt in their mind that would slow their response to the attack. Either way, it was useful and it didn't take much spirit Qi to use either.
His poison breath had increased in proficiency simply because he had used it so much. The same could be said for venom fang as well. Though Lin Wu reckoned that it was already on the border of being improved.
"Oh? I even got something new?" Lin Wu said as he continued to read below.
The line that Lin Wu was looking at was the new poison he now had.
"System, show me the details about this Shackling Lightning Poison." Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
POISON: Shackling Lightning Poison
INFO: The Shackling Lighting Poison was developed after the host gained the ability to use lightning elemental spirit Qi. It is derived from that and has the ability to paralyze the target on which it is use.
Additionally, if another creature touches the target, they will be affected by it as well and the poison will transmit to them. They too will suffer the same effects. The number of targets that can be infected depends on the amount of spirit Qi used to power the skill.
——
"Oh? So it's kinda like the improved version of the Numbing Poison." Lin Wu muttered.
~DING~
——
CORRECTION: The numbing poison's original effect is to dull the foe's senses. The paralysis effect is the catalytic effect that happens when the foe is poisoned with a large amount of Numbing poison.
The Shackling Lightning Poison's primary effect is to target the nervous system of the foes and paralyze them.
——
"Huh… alright. If you say so…" Lin Wu replied, finding the system's response a bit surprising.
'Was it always this perspective?' Lin Wu wondered to himself.
Lin Wu then looked at the different energy sections and was a bit pained.
"Damn… I used up so much. It's like looking at my bank account again…" Lin Wu muttered.
His stored spirit Qi was almost gone and the one in the system's spirit Qi storage was greatly reduced too. There was just enough for emergencies. Though he still had Vital essence that was more than enough for him to use.
Then there was the System's own energy storage that it used for its own consumption and processes. Lin Wu rarely monitored this since the system was set to automatically top it up when it was running out of the energy.
But this time Lin Wu's attention was brought to the System's energy consumption rate.
"3501 units per hour? That's like… barely three days of energy needs of the system." Lin Wu calculated.
The difference was rather large now and Lin Wu realized that he needed to somewhat monitor this now.
'Wait… is this why the system has become a bit more perceptive?' Lin Wu wondered.
He thus decided to ask the system directly.
"System, why did the energy requirement increase? Also… did you unlock more A.I cores?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The energy requirement are naturally increased due to the increased data that is being continually processed. Additionally the host has assigned several tasks that need to be analyzed and sorted.
Currently the system has seven A.I cores unlocked. Three of them are always active while the other four are in reserve and activated when needed. The use of additional A.I. Cores will increased the energy consumption further.
——
'I see… I did keep on giving it tasks. Though I guess the additional cores is a good thing.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
"Also, if you activate all cores and use them to process the data and tasks you have on going will it speed up the process?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The use of additional cores will certainly speed up the process but it will also increase the system's energy consumption greatly. If all seven cores are active, the system's approximate energy consumption will be 23,977 units per hour.
——
"Goodamn! That's a lot… that's like seven times what is now." Lin Wu exclaimed seeing the massive increase.
He could tell that each core increased the consumption in a matter of multiples rather than a liner increase.
'Though… now that I think of it, it should be just enough to match my active cultivation rate shouldn't it?' Lin Wu estimated.
After thinking of it, Lin Wu decided to let the system activate two more cores.
"System, use two more cores. And inform me when you are about to refill your energy." Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
ACTIVATING A.I CORES: 5 cores currently active
CURRENT SYSTEM ENERGY CONSUMPTION RATE: 3501 units/hour - 14,752 units/hour
——
Lin Wu now just hoped to see the difference in the system's capabilities in the future and see what gains he would get.
Done with it assizing all the changes, Lin Wu continued traveling to the Millennium forest. He was about a quarter of the way there and would reach it till midnight.
"Am I forgetting something?" Lin Wu wondered.
Back at the border of the Frozen Cloud sect…
"Are you sure we should wait more?" Tian Han spoke.
"I'm sure master won't forget us!" Tian Chu said with confidence.

Chapter 728 – He Forgor
Lin Wu was almost at the border of the Millennium forest when he got a message.
"Huh?" Lin Wu was a bit surprised, but then when he saw who messaged him, he realized he forgot.
"Oh, no… I forgor…"
Regardless, he activated the link and talked to Tian Han and Tian Chu.
"Master, is everything fine? Is it done?" Tian Chu questioned frantically.
"Ah, yeah! It all went fine. Though there were some issues that needed me to leave right away." Lin Wu answered.
"What? Leave? You're not at the Frozen Cloud sect?" Tian Han was shocked.
"Yes, I've left it. You two should leave, too. Wang Xiong is currently taking care of things at the sect but there might be some problems that can happen once the patriarch of the sect returns." Lin Wu spoke.
"The patriarch? He's already here with us though." Tian Han replied.
"With you? WITH YOU!?" Lin Wu was shocked.
"Yes, we were picked up by him and another elder when they found us near the border of the sect. At first they thought we were intruding on the sect but then we told us who we were being from the Tian clan.
They asked us about all that had happened and we just told them about a great battle that happened in the sect. We denied all involvement and told them that we were about to go to the sect when it all happened." Tian Chu was the one who explained.
"So that happened…" Lin Wu had not expected the things to change this way.
'Though this can be good too…' Lin Wu thought to himself.
"The patriarch… how is he?" Lin Wu asked.
Tian Han understanding what Lin Wu meant, replied. "He looks calm on the surface, but I can feel the turbulent spirit Qi coming from him. He is certainly very upset." Tian Han replied.
"Hmm… alright, I want you to keep yourself reserved and only speak to him when called. Otherwise don't do any extra interaction. You should be able to contact Wang Xiong too and he'll make sure you two are safe." Lin Wu instructed.
"We are currently being kept in a different area, but I'll contact him. We had to wait till we were away from the patriarch as we didn't know if contacting you will be problematic and we'd get found out." Tian Han replied.
"The link can't be discovered by others, though I guess this was a good move either way." Lin Wu said, finding it reasonable.
He had left without explaining sufficiently to the two Tian cousins and it was still good that they were fine.
'Though the patriarch picking them up was rather unexpected.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
"I think someone is coming. We'll go now, master." Tian Chu said.
"Alright, keep me informed if something happens." Lin Wu said before stopping the link.
He then contacted Wang Xiong to tell him about the two Tian cousins as well, just in case.
"Oh yeah, Senior, I heard of them from Patriarch Bing already. I've just sent someone to fetch them." Wang Xiong informed.
"Ah, so that was your people. That's fine then." Lin Wu said, finding it relieving.
"Do you want me to do anything else, senior?" Wang Xiong asked.
"Just make sure the two of them get out of the sect and return to the Tian clan. Them staying them any longer might pull the Patriarch's intrigue. Even if he doesn't suspect them right now, who knows what he might come up with later." Lin Wu replied.
"I'll do that, Senior. They told the patriarch that they were coming to the sect to ask about Tian Xiaoge. And since the Frozen Cliff division who met them last time doesn't exist anymore, we can just use the same excuse again.
No one will know about it." Wang Xiong suggested.
"Very well, do that. Keep me informed about any changes." Lin Mu spoke.
"I will senior. Patriarch Bing and Guardian Yun along with Elder Weizhe, have been in a private meeting this entire time. I'll tell you what the result is later." Wang Xiong replied.
"Alright." Lin Wu said before stopping the link.
~Sigh~
"Didn't think it would turn out like this. Thankfully, he didn't kill them right away… I still have a use for the two of them." Lin Wu muttered to himself as he finally reached the Millennium Forest.
~shua~
Teleportation runes appeared around him and the two beasts he was carrying. The arranged into a formation before teleporting Lin Wu into the tomb.
~thud~
Lin Wu appeared in the Taiji Celestial's tomb and released the two beasts that were still asleep.
"I should keep both of them close by to monitor. Just in case…" Lin Wu muttered before sending the two to nearby rooms.
He could always watch them with the monitoring formations and let the system keep tabs on them.
'Thinking of that… I kinda need to rest as well…' Lin Wu saw the state of his body.
While there were no injuries, Lin Wu still needed to recover a lot of the spirit Qi he had used up. The two skills he had used, the Obliterating Tempest and the Stellar Thundering Wind Splitter, both took massive amounts of spirit Qi to use.
In fact, The Stellar Thundering Wind Splitter took nearly half of Lin Wu's spirit Qi that he had in his body. Even the Obliterating Tempest took nearly a quarter of his spirit Qi. Both were skills that were not to be used causally and were decisive ones.
"I was really cutting it close…" Lin Wu muttered.
He also realized that he needed to get used to his new cultivation base and stabilize it somewhat. Since there was no way to breakthrough directly to the next stage by just pouring in spirit Qi, Lin Wu knew it was time for him to go steady.
Before resting though, Lin Wu informed the other beast subordinates and servants of his that he had returned and that he'll tell them more later.
Report chapter
Chapter 729 – A Dao Treading Realm Corpse And Credit To Give
A week had passed since Lin Wu had returned to the Millennium forest. He had been resting the entire time and was steadily recovering to his peak. Just to restore his own body's spirit Qi alone took him this much time.
'Man, with the large capacity regenerate it all takes some time even if I'm actively cultivating…' Lin Wu thought to himself.
His body lightly glowed in the hall as he stayed curled up there. Only after he felt that he had sufficient spirit Qi for a while did he decided to call the meeting.
~HUAAAA~
Lin Wu stretched his body as the segments clattered against each other.
"How are the two of them doing?" Lin Wu asked as a window appeared in front of him.
He first checked the Twin Lights Liger King, who was still asleep. The system showed his vitals on the side and they had certainly improved.
"He's gonna need a while more." Lin Wu muttered.
Regardless, it wasn't a problem and he could just let the Twin Lights Liger King rest and heal here. The system estimated that he should be fine in a couple of weeks and should also wake up on his own by then.
"The Weasel though…" Lin Wu muttered as he observed Tim.
The system couldn't scan Tim the same way it could with the Twin Lights Liger King, thus the most it could do was surface level observation. While the system couldn't tell what Tim's condition was, from the steady movement of his chest and breathing, the system reckoned he was still assimilating the energy from the Supreme elder.
"AH! That reminds me… I have a promise to fulfill." Lin Wu said as he looked at a certain corpse in his inventory.
Lin Wu hadn't eaten the Supreme elder's body yet as he fully intended on completing what he had said to the man later. And it would be far better meal anyway…
Lin Wu sent out a message to his subordinate and called in a meeting.
Fifteen minutes passed, after which, they all arrived.
~shua~ shua~ shua~
The hum of the runes could be felt as teleportation formations activated one after the other, bringing in all of the beasts.
"Welcome back, master!" The beasts said in unison.
Lin Wu gave a nod to them before looking at the Emeraldine Monkeys.
~thud~
He dropped a corpse in front of them, making them confused.
"Huh?" That was until they felt the faint spirit Qi fluctuations coming from the corpse that was missing one leg.
Even if the corpse was dead, they could still feel that it was rather tempting to them. Their instinct told them to eat out, and yet they knew that if they were to do it, they would be greatly punished by Lin Wu.
"Umm, what do we do with this, master?" The leader of the Emeraldine Monkeys, questioned.
"I want you to cook it. I'll give you the way I want you to cook it too. I need it to be exactly that." Lin Wu answered and send him the recipe.
Looking at the 11 spices and herbs, the Emeraldine Monkey was surprised.
"Umm… master… is it really fine to use these many previous spirit herbs for this?" The Leader of the Emeraldine Monkeys asked.
"Of course! This is a Dao Treading realm corpse, so use of these resources is perfect in cooking it!" Lin Wu stated.
"What?!" the beasts were all in for the shock.
"This… this is a Dao Treading realm, corpse?" The Deep Earth Emeraldine Mole said in disbelief.
"Master is truly strong!" The Emeraldine Horn Beetle said with pride.
"Master is great!" The others beast too joined in on the praise.
Lin Wu being able to kill a Dao Treading realm cultivator like this while being at the Dao Shell realm was a matter of great pride to them.
'With a strong King like this, why do we even need to worry?' The Split Thorn Horn Beetle King thought to himself.
'Perhaps he truly will be the one who brings beasts to a new age…' the Slim arm ape king wondered.
On the other hand, the Demon Spine Ape King had a hint of excitement in his eyes.
'I wonder if I'll reach the same level one day…' he thought.
He wanted to be like Lin Wu now, being able to fight a Dao Treading realm cultivator and defeat them while also being a realm weaker.
'Yes! I'll set this as my goal for the future!' the Demon Spine Ape king decided.
Various thoughts went through the beast's minds, but what was all common was that they felt awed at Lin Wu's power. It only deepened their respect for him and increased their loyalty to Lin Wu.
The Club Tailed Lizard felt lightheaded too.
'My kids have this bloodline… even if it is just a part of it, just how strong will they be in the future?' She couldn't help but see a scene in her mind where the five Club Tailed Lizards stood upon a mountain of corpses.
"I-I'll get the juniors to prepare this right away!" The Leader of the Emeraldine Monkeys spoke hurriedly. "I shall have it ready for the meal tonight, my king." He added.
"Oh, wait!" Lin Wu remembered something.
"Put asides one of the arms." Lin Wu spoke.
"May I ask why?" The beast asked, finding it strange.
If Lin Wu had such a precious meal, it would make sense to eat as much of it as possible. Leaving something like an arm won't be as good.
"That arm will be the reward for the Twin Lights Liger King. For his help and work that he did at the Frozen Cloud sect." Lin Wu answered, surprising the beasts.
"What did he exactly do that he is worthy of this?" The High Wind Emeraldine Sparrow inquired.
"Well he had a part in fighting this man, of course. The Twin Lights Liger King and Tim held back the Dao Treading Realm supreme elder long enough that I was able to prepare my own attack to kill him.." Lin Wu didn't hesitate in giving some credit.
Report chapter
Chapter 730 – The Coming Plans
Learning that The Twin Lights Liger King and Tim were actually that capable so as to be able to go against a Dao Treading realm cultivator was stunning to all the beasts here.
"This… THIS IS AMAZING!" The Demon Spike Ape King exclaimed. "HAHAHA! I NOW HAVE PEERS WORTH CHALLENGING!"
To the Demon Spine Ape King, Lin Wu was already beyond what he could compare against. He had already seen it in the past two times he had tried fighting Lin Wu, and knew that it would be a long shot.
But the Twin Lights Liger king was also a ruler before and was someone the Demon Spine Ape King thought he could go against. Maybe not right now, but he might be able to in the future.
As for Tim, the Demon Spine ape king didn't know what to clearly think about him. All of Lin Wu's beast subordinates had seen him and knew that he wasn't as smart or intelligent as them.
Though at the same time, they also knew the beast was very fearless and absolutely brazen. He even dared to fight Lin Wu and chewed on his tail randomly. Fighting a crazy beast like that was even more dangerous than fighting Lin Wu in a way.
Thus, the Demon Spine Ape King kept the Twin Lights Liger King as a target.
The other beasts were all marveling at the acts of the Twin Lights Liger king and Tim though.
But at the same time, they felt a sense of comfort.
'So if we can do the same or equivalent, we will also get rewards like these?' The Emeraldine Wing Swan thought.
The other beasts had similar thoughts and felt a sense of motivation filling them.
"I'll get it done as you wish, master." The leader of the Emeraldine Monkeys spoke. "I'll keep an arm for the Twin lights Liger King."
"Yes." Lin Wu nodded his head.
The elder of the Emeraldine Monkeys left with two of the other Emeraldine monkey's and went to prepare for the dinner feast. He knew that there would be a lot to prepare. After all, it wasn't just the Dao Treading realm corpse they would be cooking.
As good as a corpse like that was, the monkey could easily understand that for someone of Lin Wu's size, it would be the same as eating a single grape for a meal. While the Dao Treading realm corpse would be the highlight of the meal, he would still have to cook a lot of other things to go along with it.
'Another feat to get ready. Though it is indeed a matter of celebration.' The Beast thought as he hurried away.
With him gone, Lin Wu continued to talk to his subordinates.
"I also wanted to tell you all that we might get some humans coming to us. Depending who they are, we will need to defend ourselves." Lin Wu spoke.
"Why so, master?" The Emeraldine Horn Beetle asked.
"I did basically devastate half of the Frost Cloud sect. So they might be the ones coming. Though if things work out, they will not. And they will instead become our allies." Lin Wu replied.
"Do you think there will be other human powers attacking us, my king?" The Slim Arm ape quickly guessed.
"Indeed. With the Frozen Cloud sect's condition, the other powers will soon learn about it. They might look to expand their influence and we might be targeted as a result. After all, the millennium forest is the closest forest to the Frozen Cloud sect.
We have tons of resources growing her and are a ripe fruit for the taking. While the other sects are free to send their people here, the Frozen Cloud sect still gets an advantage due to being close here after all." Lin Wu explained.
"Hmm… but we won't be acting as a ripe fruit, will be?" The Slim Arm Ape King replied.
"Oh, no we won't. If anything, we will be a thorny cactus that they will regret ever touching." Lin Wu stated.
"Humph! No human will dare act arrogant on our watch!" The beasts said with confidence.
Lin Wu nodded, seeing their response as that was what he liked.
"But we don't want to fully antagonize humans, either. Since we will be getting the Frozen Cloud sect under us eventually, we will first start with an alliance with them." Lin Wu added.
"An alliance? How would that be happening, my king?" The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape was the one who inquired this time.
He had a good guess as to what Lin Wu would be doing. After all, he was the one who was looking over the many Frozen Cloud disciples that were in the shrine of the Sky Bright Daoist.
"The same thing I told you in the past." Lin Wu answered shortly.
"I see… I'll get the ready then," The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape replied.
"Mmmhmm, do that. I reckon they should be mostly ready?" Lin Wu asked.
"Yes, some of them are also close to a breakthrough." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape replied.
"Oh? Is that so… I guess we can improve our approach a bit more then." Lin Wu said.
"How so?" The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape asked.
Lin Wu thought for a bit before speaking, "are you confident in guiding them all to the Nascent soul realm as long as they all get sufficient resources?"
"This… if they really get a steady supply, then I have no doubt they will all be able to do it." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape said with confidence.
"Very well." Lin Wu looked towards the other Emeraldine Monkeys. "Provide them with all the things they need." He ordered them.
"As you command, master!" The Emeraldine Monkeys responded.
"I'll take my leave then, master. I'll get started right away." The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape replied.
"Yes. It's best to get started quick." Lin Wu agreed.
Once the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape was gone, Lin Wu dismissed the other beasts as well.
'Now to wait for the dinner… Can't wait to taste Kentucky Fried Supreme Elder."
