Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 1078 Debut In The Gui Continent





Lin Wu and Tim stood at the edge of a broken mountain, their presence hidden from everyone as they gazed at a distant city

This was none other than Icy Swan City and was one of the major cities in the Gui Continent. Since most of the continent had no central ruling authority, most of the continent was divided into independent settlements.

There were basically no kingdoms on the continent either, with most of the settlements being ruled by strong clans or elders. The same was the case for the Icy Swan City which seemed to have three great elders ruling over them.

These three great elders were none other than the Dao Shell realm cultivators.

~SHUA~

Lin Wu's spirit sense quickly covered the entire city, observing all things that were happening in it. The cultivators within it were blissfully unaware about the two beasts that were now watching them.

Though the beasts that were within the city were showing some signs of unease. Lin Wu and Tim might have restrained their presence, but the deeply ingrained instincts of the beasts were not so easy to be ignored.

To them, it was as if a disaster was on the horizon.

A few of the residents noticed this too.

All of them were wearing thick fur coats and had tough leather boots and gloves on. Even for cultivators, the cold here would be difficult to endure without such clothes. And even if they could endure it, their strength would be rapidly sapped.

Perhaps only those at the Nascent soul realm would be able to stay here freely without such clothes. But even they would wear such clothes simply out of comfort and habit. Lin Wu had already taken notice of all this beforehand too.

"Why are the Iron Horn Goats so timid today?" A person watching a beast pen asked.

"I don't know. They've been like this since the past hour." The cultivator who seemingly ran the pen replied. 

~BAAA~

The Iron Horn Goats seemingly felt something and suddenly huddled together.

"This… you don't think…" The person who was watching the pen from the outside was surprised.

"A blizzard might be approaching…" The cultivator running the pen replied.

"Do we need to report to the elder council?" the other person asked.

"If the Iron Horn Goats have noticed this, the elders should have noticed beforehand too. We shouldn't have to worry." The cultivator replied.

"Hmm… Guess I should return home early then." The other person said before leaving.

None of them knew though, that the elder council was entirely unaware of this.

Having observed enough, Lin Wu decided to approach using his old method.

"Wait here Tim. I'll call you when needed." Lin Wu said before drilling into the ground.

He quickly made his way to the Icy Swan City and stayed underground. 

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

Hundreds of tentacles sprouted from his body and drilled out of the ground while staying hidden. The tentacles were very small and wouldn't be easily noticed. After all, Lin Wu didn't wish to disturb the cultivators here already.

He first wanted to get all the information that was in the city, before making up his mind about what to do next.

His tentacles collected whatever Lin Wu wanted covertly, while his Spirit sense was reading the various documents and books that were in the city. Lin Wu was particularly looking for information about the Purple Crested Orchid as well as the Gui Clan.I think you should take a look at

But so far he was out of luck, as there was no proper information about them yet. All he found was the stuff he already knew about.

'They only have general information about them. Even the Long Continent and Hu continent had this information.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

The location of both objectives was a mystery. 

Only the members of the Gui clan could find it, and the Purple Crested orchid was said to be hidden in the Frozen hinterlands.

"They say frozen hinterlands… but what do they mean by that exactly? Literally, every place is like that." Lin Wu said with displeasure.

He wondered if he'll just have to manually search for them. 

'The information given by the Ghost of Tian is also limited about how to get to the Gui clan. They are simply too isolated and probably use an array to hide their true location.' Lin Wu pondered.

After an hour of search, Lin Wu had basically exhausted all that was present in the city information-wise.

~Sigh~

"Looks like I'll have to resort to a different method now…" Lin Wu said as he eyed the Dao Shell realm elders.

He reckoned if there was anyone, it would be the elders that would know more.

'Considering this is a more tribal society, they might have limited such information to the elders rather than spreading the documents about it.' Lin Wu thought.

With this in mind, he decided to go ahead with one of his spare plans. 

"Looks like it is time for the Gui Continent to know about the Calamity Fiend." Lin Wu muttered as he planned the best way for his debut.

It was his first time appearing on the Gui continent, thus it needed to be stunning.

The people of the Icy Swan City were unaware of the disaster that was brewing underneath them. For an hour, they had peace, but after that, they felt the change.

~TREMBLE~

The ground started to shake, while all the beasts in the city panicked all at once.

"What is this!?"

"An avalanche?" Someone wondered.

But when they looked at the mountains, they seemed to be fine and no snow was falling.

They didn't think it was an earthquake either, as they were very rare in this part of the continent.

~TREMBLE~

~CRACK~

And a few seconds later, they finally got their answer.

The earth split open as a massive being rose from it. Its dark carapace contrasted against the white snow, while its hundreds of eyes gazed at them. Its maw was lined with an uncountable number of teeth that threatened to reap their lives just from a look.
