Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu waited patiently while Hu Dagao kept on getting more anxious for fifteen minutes. It was now that Lin Wu heard the sound that he had been waiting or this entire time.

~DING~

——

SCAN: Completed.

ANALYSIS: Completed

DATA BANKS: Updated!

MAP: Updated!

NOTIFICATION: Traces of a beast have been detected.

——

Seeing this Lin Wu knew that he might have hit the jackpot.

"Bingo!" Lin Wu switched over to the system's detailed list and saw the system's Analysis.

~DING~

——

DETECTED: Beast trace

INFO: The beast traces has a 70% similarity with the host's own signature. From further assessment, the system has determined that it belongs to the Unknown bloodline of the host.

——

As soon as Lin Wu saw this, his eyes went wide. His aura fluctuated as well while his presence grew heavier for the others.

"It really is it… I've been awaiting the clues for such a long time…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

This beast's traces belonged to the Unknown bloodline beast, that was the aim of the system's quest.

It was also the beast that Lin Wu needed to find in order to further his own bloodline as well as strengthen it. But Lin Wu knew it was not going to be easy. Especially after knowing that the beast could open portals like this.

'Looks like that beast is using these portals to sneak around and hunt others. This might also be the reason why it has been able to escape the monitoring of all the people. Otherwise they should have been able to get at least some information about a beast like this.' Lin Wu thought to himself as his expression grew serious.

But even if he had found the clues he had been searching now for years, he knew he couldn't rush in.

Forget about the true location of the beast, what Lin Wu first needed to know was just how strong the beast truly was.

"System, what is your assessment of the beast's strength?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: According to the preliminary analysis of the traces as well as the beast's ability to open space portals, the system had determined that it is likely to be at the Immortal Ascension realm at the very least.

——

"At the very least? You mean it could be an immortal?" Lin Wu raised a brow.

He knew that immortals could technically exist in the Ming Dao world, but they would have restrictions placed on them. But with the beast in question, Lin Wu didn't know if it was circumventing them somehow.

~Sigh~

"I'll need to prepare a lot more…" Lin Wu knew for a beast that could simply escape into the void. Fighting would not be easy.

Even if Lin Wu had the strength to battle it, the beast could very well jump into the void and escape. Following after the beast would be a bad choice too as Lin Wu wouldn't have the same advantages as here.

'I'll need to first figure out where the beast is or where it can go. If I know that, I'll be able to set a trap for it that can prevent it from entering the void.' Lin Wu knew of several arrays that could restrict the space.

After all, the Taiji Celestial's tomb had several such restrictions placed on it.

Though these were mostly there to prevent the sealed being inside it from ever escaping. That was another one of the enigmas that Lin Wu had yet to solve.

The system would be able to replicate an array like that, but it would need preparation and it couldn't be moved once it was made.

'It all comes down to one thing again… Knowledge and intelligence,' Lin Wu realized.

He also knew that in order to cover this aspect, he needed to gain control over this area, too.

'If I have dominion over the Hu continent, I'll have covered more than half of the Ming Dao world. I'll do the same for the Gui Continent and then I should be able to gather the intelligence about the beast for sure.' Lin Wu planned in his mind.

His determination only grew more and Hu Dagao who was standing in the distance, only felt pressured.

To him, Lin Wu had spoken several times, but he didn't understand any of it.

'What language is he speaking?' Hu Dagao didn't know at all.

To him Lin Wu's words seemed to be a mix of weird and distorted syllables and screeches.

What Hu Dagao didn't know was the fact that this was the automatic censoring of the system. With that set, there was no way Lin Wu would say something unknowingly and reveal sensitive information.

If Lin Wu wanted to actually communicate with others, he'll have to actively think of doing so. Only then would he actually be speaking legitimately.

A few minutes passed as Lin Wu was lost in his thoughts, and Hu Dagao simply waited silently. The Void Tracing Bead in his hand had already turned black, and he had noticed that.

'This isn't something I can solve at all… the clan needs to be informed about it.' Hu Dagao could somewhat guess that even Lin Wu was concerned about the being behind this.

~Shua~

Finally, the spatial portal closed up, and Lin Wu gazed at Hu Dagao.

"Come on, we're done here." Lin Wu stated.

"We're done?" Hu Dagao almost took a breath of relief but didn't do so, as he didn't want to offend Lin Wu accidentally.

"Yes, we're done. I know the cause behind it all." Lin Wu replied, much to Hu Dagao's surprise.

"You do?!" The man didn't expect this.

"We now have a common goal." Lin Wu replied. "The cause behind it is a beast… a strong beast." He revealed.

"A beast… that can open spatial portals… no wait, a second beast." Hu Dagao muttered in a mixture of fear and shock.

He had never thought that the mission he had been assigned by the clan would turn out like this.
