Chapter 498 - 10 Years
Time passed, summer went and winter came. Each day was like a smoky wisp, disappearing before it could even stay for long.
Within the Tomb of the Taiji Celestial, a large hall existed. The hall was currently dark and nothing could be seen inside it.
~Rumble~
Suddenly, the sound of something trembling could be heard. The sound was low but deep.
~humm~
In the next moment, a green glow appeared in the hall. If one looked at it right now, one would see that the glow was coming from a mass of green crystals. There were a few specks of black dispersed in it, but it still looked rather mesmerizing.
.~Crack~
A cracking sound was heard as a crack spread across the large green crystal. Though strangely enough, the crack spread in a very unique pattern in a spiral manner. It was then that a pair of red lights opened up at the top of the crystal mass.
"HAAA!" A sound came from the mass of green crystals.
A large head rose up from the crystal mass. It was evident that the entire crystal mass was one creature that had been coiled up for a long time. The head had hundreds of spikes on it as well.
The larger spikes went down the center of his head and down, while the smaller ones were on the sides in two rows. There were also two red triangular protrusions on the top of his head.
They looked like ears if one looked closely and even had the auricle structure carved into it.
~yawn~
The mouth of the crystal creature opened wide as it let out a long yawn, revealing its thousands of sharp crystallizing teeth hidden inside it. The ones at the back were located in circular rows, while the ones at the front were aligned in a linear manner in a few rows.
At the very front, two long fangs could also be seen. They were about a meter long and looked very terrifying.
~Rumble~
Having yawned, the creature moved the rest of its body and uncoiled. The full appearance of the creature could now be seen. It was over two hundred meters long, once uncoiled and had spikes going down all the way to the tip of its tail.
"That was a nice sleep," Lin Wu said as he stretched his body, reliving the tenseness.
He looked around and saw the dark hall that was only being illuminated by his body's glow.
"Why's it so dark here? System?" Lin Wu called out, but received no response.
"System?" Lin Wu called out again.
~DING~
——
SYSTEM REBOOT COMPLETED: All services online
——
"Oh? You were down too?" Lin Wu was surprised.
~Ding~
Then hundreds of windows popped up in front of him, one after the other, overwhelming Lin Wu a bit.
"Hold up! Don't just shove them to me, sort them out." Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
NOTIFICATION FILTER: Activated
——
Lin Wu saw the number of notifications reduce significantly as the windows disappeared. By the time most of them had disappeared, only one window was left in front of him.
"The notification log, huh…" Lin Wu said as he saw the title.
~Ding~
——
NOTIFICATION LOG: 127 Notification pending
——
The number was rather large and Lin Wu scrolled through them. Since he was unconscious the entire time, the system had accumulated all of them so that he could read them later on.
"Huh? I broke through?!" Lin Wu was surprised and opened the specific notification window.
"No, wait… this is different…" Lin Wu muttered, seeing it.
~Ding~
——
HOST CULTIVATION: Adult Soul stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
-Spirit Qi required to upgrade = [32,785,158/15,000,000] units (liquid spirit qi)
——
The spirit Qi that he had accumulated was a rather massive amount.
"What the hell! How did this even happen?" Lin Wu was now confused and worried at the same time.
He knew that even if he ate the Olive Viper King, his body could not provide this much spirit Qi to him. Which meant that the spirit Qi had been accumulated in some other manner.
"Plus, the spirit Qi should have been in the system's storage if it got it from eating it… but this is in my body directly. Which means… this was accumulated due to cultivation?!" Lin Wu realized.
A bad feeling appeared in his heart and he called out to the system.
"System, just how much time has it been?" Lin Wu almost shouted.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: It has been 10 years, 8 months and 6 days since the host has been in a state of hibernation.
——
"WHAT THE FUCK! I thought it would be a year or two at most! How the hell did it become over ten years?!" Lin Wu was shocked, to say the least.
Multiple thoughts ran through his mind and overwhelmed him a bit. But then he forcibly calmed himself down and decided that he needed to go through this systematically.
'First to see, just what changes have happened to me.' Lin Wu thought.
"System, light up the hall. Why is it so dark here, anyway?" Lin Wu ordered.
~shua~
The lights in the hall lit up in the next second and it became bright. All of the formations were working properly.
'Huh? Is it just me or is it brighter than it used to be?' Lin Wu wondered.
Lin Wu then checked what happened to him. He did this in a direct way and looked at his body and the changes that happened. The first thing he noticed was, of course, his size which had now doubled.
"Goddamn! Just how big am I?" Lin Wu was stunned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The host is now 212.8 Meters long.
——
Seeing the system's answer, Lin Wu was definitely shocked. Not only had the length of his body increased, but his thickness had as well.
"Damn, I'm twice as wide as before." Lin Wu realized that too.
He observed the spikes that had appeared and the teeth as well, finding them to be a new addition.
