Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

'Shit! I shouldn't have spoken…' Jifen regretted his decision but then heard Lin Wu's voice again.

"I did retreat, but not because I was not able to fight against Lin Wu. But rather because the two ancestors of the Long clan were coming over as well. Fighting against three foes would be a tough task for me… at least for now.

I still need to recover my former cultivation base. But do know this, if you go up against Lin Wu alone, you won't survive. The only way is to keep him occupied and his territory disturbed." Lin Wu explained in a calm yet imposing voice,

'So even the beast king is that strong…' Tian Guisha felt good that he had decided to hear this all first.

~SHUA~

Having said his part, Lin Wu didn't wait even a moment and flew off at a blinding speed. Tian Guisha and Jifen were left watching while Cang Ci was already working on the task that Lin Wu had assigned her.

She knew exactly what Lin Wu wanted and she would do all that as in her power to complete it.

'Master certainly has a knack for gathering pawns…' Cang Ci smirked and took out several jade slips.

"Release my subordinates, we have work to do." Cang Ci ordered Jifen freely knowing that the man would not dare to resist now.

Far to the west of the volcano, Lin Wu was currently soaring through the sky.

"That went better than I had originally expected, that's for sure…" Lin Wu was pleased with the situation.

Originally he had thought that he would have to fight some new enemies to rescue Cang Ci, but it turned out to be an opportunity to obtain a ton of information as well as gain a strong pawn.

'With Tian Guisha, I might be able to free up some part of my work. Though I'll still have to leave behind the avatar in Tieba city. If it's not there, there are chances of things going awry. Plus, I'll be able to switch back whenever needed…' Lin Wu thought.

For now he just decided to head to the teleportation array. About two hours passed by before Lin Wu reached the island.

"There it is…" Lin Wu saw the island that was barely a hundred meters in size.

It was even smaller than his own body!

"Even if someone passed by here, there would be no way for them to know that there is an array hidden here." Lin Wu reckoned.

He landed at the coast of the island and spread his spirit sense, quickly finding the array.

"It's well camouflaged that's for sure." Lin Wu discovered that the array wasn't made in the usual way.

Instead, it was made by utilizing the natural topography and structure of the island. Even for an island as small as this, it could be turned into an array, if one was smart enough and had high proficiency with formations.

"Analyze this system." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

Note: The Teleportation array can be repaired to about 75% of its functionality and will allow the host to teleport to a further destination.

"That's good. And what about linking to the tomb? Is that possible?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: A supplementary array can be used to link up with the tomb, but the energy consumption will be higher.

——

"That's fine. Just start on it." Lin Wu ordered.

"Affirmative."

The system began its work immediately and a wave of energy spread from Lin Wu's body. It entered the array and stimulated it.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

Several runes started to form around Lin Wu's body and automatically went to merge with the Teleportation array's old formations. The parts that were broken and damaged were being repaired at a visible rate.

Thankfully, the damage to the array was mostly due to the natural withering of runes over time. This was only possible because the array was made using the natural topography and didn't need any additional materials.

Though even if it did, Lin Wu had more than enough materials to fix it in the storage.

While the system did its assigned task, Lin Wu went through the information he had obtained from Tian Guisha. More particularly about the cultivation technique he had made.

"Hmm… I certainly can't use it directly… will have to separate out some of its parts and then accommodate it in the Chimeric Revolution Technique. The revival ability can be useful when they have no body left…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

~HUALA~

About half an hour later, the system had finished repairing the teleportation array to the level it was possible.

~DING~

REPAIRS: Completed

Teleportation Destinations: 2 Available, 2 unavailable

Energy Supply: 100%

CONSTRUCTING: Supplementary connecting array

Lin Wu looked at the log finding it strange that even at 75% integrity it only worked for 2 destination.

"Shouldn't it be at least 3?" Lin Wu looked at the destinations on the map. "Ah, so the other two can only be accessed at 90% and 100% mark." He understood.

Lin Wu continued looking through the data while the system finished the supplementary array. This time it took the system nearly three hours before it was done making it.

~DING~

SUPPLEMENTARY CONNECTION ARRAY: Constructed

INITIALIZING: Connection…

CONNECTION: Found!

ESTABLISHING LINK: Taiji Celestial's Tomb Array connected!

TELEPORTATION DESTINATIONS: 3 Available, 2 Unavailable

"Perfect." Lin Wu saw the new destination that was added.

It was none other than the tomb.

'I'll switch over to my main body and let the avatar return to Tieba city on autopilot.' Lin Wu thought before activating the array.

~SHUA~

About a minute later, the array flickered and Lin Wu's giant body appeared from it. Whit the two large bodies, the island was all but hidden.

"Alright system, send the avatar back to Tieba city and activate relevant protocols." Lin Wu ordered.
