Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Seeing the system's information, Lin Wu was surprised. 

"Damn, these are certainly some top end food ingredients aren't they? And what the heck is with the carps? They eat silver? That would be really expensive, wouldn't it?" Lin Wu said after seeing it all.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but want to try out them as well.

"Hmm… will he know if I take some of them with me?" Lin Wu wondered.

He could count several of the beasts, but the Silver Scale carps were the least in number, being only thirty three. But they were also the ones that had three nascent soul realm carps among them.

Lin Wu checked the beasts closely and saw that the ones that were in the nascent soul realm were the bigger ones among their kin and would proudly strut around. The others would give them berth whenever they walked by.

What stunned Lin Wu even more was the defensive array that was set around them.

"This thing didn't get affected even during our battle? He made it stronger than the mountain's main defensive formation… he must definitely care for them a lot." Lin Wu noted.

He also checked out the various herbs that were planted by Yun Bai, but they weren't particularly as impressive when compared to the three types of luxury beasts. They would still be very valuable in the usual market though, and could be used to make some really good alchemical pills.

While Lin Wu was taking a look around, Yun Bai finally finished going through the information from the crystal slip. He had an expression of utter shock after he was done, and it looked like he still had a hard time believing it all.

"Oh? You're awake?" Lin Wu said as he noticed Yun Bai open his eyes.

"I never would have expected you to have a background like that." Yun Bai muttered.

"Not many do." Lin Wu casually said.

"How long have you been asleep for?" Yun Bai questioned, having understood the reason for Lin Wu's current cultivation base.

"I don't know either. It has been far too long." Lin Wu replied.

"I see… at least now I know I have some hope of leaving this planet." Yun Bai spoke.

"So why is it that you want to leave this planet?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Sigh~

"This planet… it rejects me… and my clan." Yun Bai answered.

"Your clan? What's that?" Lin Wu asked.

"I belong to the Frost Fox Demon beast clan. We are not originally the natives of this planet and were said to have been brought by other cultivators when they invaded this world.

Or at least that is the story that my ancestors told us. You must have already known about the main invasions this world has faced. We were brought as slaves during one of them.

But our masters failed, and either died or escaped. Some of us were left behind and managed to free ourselves. We hid for years and made sure that no one knew of our existence before finally making our appearance.

But that didn't go well as well, and we had more conflicts with the humans. It was then that we discovered another problem, the new generation of our clan could not grow strong. It was as if their cultivation base was forcefully restricted.

Our elders that had high cultivation bases managed to protect us for a long time, but their lifespans still came to an end. By that time they had figured out that problem that we had.

The reason why the new generation could not increase their cultivation base properly was because of the world itself… the world was rejecting us. It knew we did not belong to this place and thus prevented us from cultivating properly.

Still… we are Frost Fox Demon beasts and our bloodlines are strong on its own. We still managed to push through and the most talented of our clan reached the Nascent Soul realm.

But that was the limit of what we could achieve. I was the one with the best talent and the strongest bloodline among my clan, and thus my elders passed their entire inheritance to me. They told me that I have to save our clan and let it leave this world if we were to live.

The longer we lived here, the weaker our clan would get and eventually a time would come when they would simply die out. I do not want my clan to be exterminated, and thus the only way for us to survive is to escape.

And that is exactly what I want your help with." Yun Bai explained.

Hearing the entire situation, Lin Wu was intrigued and had not thought that Yun Bai's clan was not from this world.

'That does explain some of the parts… seems like they came here right before the three great guardian beasts were summoned. It does align with the entire history. Though there are a few things that are still not sure with me.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"I see… but then how did you manage to reach the Dao Shell realm when the Nascent soul realm was the barrier for your clan?" Lin Wu questioned.

"That was where the Founder of the Frozen Cloud Sect came in. You see, I knew with my strength as a Nascent soul realm demon beast, I would still be too weak and won't be able to do much.

Thus to get stronger, I finally figured out a solution. Or at least I thought so at that time. Since the problem lay with the world itself rejecting us due to being invaders, I tried to find a way that would make it accept us.

And that way came in the form of a contract. I made a contract with the Founder of the Frozen Cloud sect; I would help him establish a sect, pass him some of the cultivation techniques we had in our clan, and also become the guardian of the sect.." Yun Bai answered, surprising Lin Wu once more.
