Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 105 - Returning?



Shirong was flying through the sky over the millennium forest while Lin Wu was held in his hand. He didn't know why but keeping the spear in his hand gave Shirong a strange sense of comfort. He felt as if he would be able to overcome any obstacle as long as he had the spear.

If Lin Wu were to hear his thoughts he would have instantly declared him to be weird. But right now he was rather engrossed in spending time in thinking of more moves. He also realized that he needed to obtain some qi skills but didn't know how to.

He had indeed obtained some qi skills in the past from the two cultivators that he had consumed but they were more weapon oriented qi skills and would not work for him. 

"Hmm… should I make him kill more cultivators?" Lin Wu wondered.

Lin Wu also tried to figure out a way by which he could make Shirong give him qi skills and cultivation techniques. It was now that an idea struck him.

"Wait a minute! Now that I have the back door function can't I just use spirit sense for all of this?" Lin Wu realized.

Lin Wu did have thoughts of refining spirit sense but had kind of forgotten it in all the things that had happened recently. He had been ready to secretly do that little by little, so that Shirong would not notice it, but his recent misfortune had solved it all for Lin Wu.

"Hmm, it's not like I need to be in contact with the qi skills and cultivation techniques, merely being close to them should be enough. Then I will be able to use the spirit sense to read them." Lin Wu reckoned.

Lin Wu had already learned from the system that spirit sense could be used for a variety of things, and one of the most basic uses of it was none other than sensing and perception. Cultivators could 'see' things with the spirit sense, and it was as if an additional organ.

"That's decided then, I'll be refining spirit sense in my free time now." Lin Wu stated to himself.

And just as he did this, he was thrown with great speed.

~Woosh~

~Thwack~

~Splatter~

"Ah nice, more qi." Lin Wu said as he started absorbing the spirit qi and vital energy from the beast that he was stuck inside.

The beast this time was quite large and looked like a rhinoceros but had a much longer tail. Looking at the beast made Lin Wu think of a thought that he had a long time ago, back when he was still human.

'The ecosystem and food chain of a cultivation realm is really messed up, huh…' Lin Wu thought to himself.

Seeing the various types of beasts that roamed in the environment really made one think about it. If it were his past world, there was no way a lot of these kinds of beasts could coexist. And just like this while thinking, Lin Wu had finished absorbing all the spirit qi and vital energy from the beast.

This was the 22nd beast that Shirong had hunted, and by now Lin Wu had obtained around 1200 drops of liquid spirit qi and 6000 wisps of vital energy. Lin Wu also learned that certain beasts actually gave different amounts of vital energy, even if they were at the same level of cultivation.

"This should be due to the individual differences in their physique." Lin Wu concluded as he compared it to his knowledge of zoology from his past life. While not all the facts and rules worked in this world, some of the basic things did apply in this world.

"I should head back now, this should be enough for today…" Shirong said as he landed on the ground and pulled out the spear from the ground.

He then started flying back to the Deer Wood city, while thinking of what to do next. Shirong had been making various plans in consideration of the future. He even made back up plans for back up plans, just so that he wouldn't be caught unguarded like he was before.

Still, Shirong knew that fate was a fickle mistress and that the future was unpredictable. Even if he was extremely cautious, there was bound to be something that would make him a loss. The only way he would be able to overcome something like that would be if he was strong.

'I should gain my cultivation base back first.' Shirong thought to himself.

He had used quite a lot of spirit qi in using the green crystal spear today and knew that the consumption was quite high, though it was certainly worth it. Shirong decided not to use the spear for everything, as it was better to leave it when it was necessary.

Besides, this would also help him avoid the covetousness of other cultivators. While he could shield himself from most of them using his clan's might, there were still a few cultivators who were insane and did not give a damn about consequences.

Shirong put the spear back into the ring as it would consume his spirit qi ever second that he kept it in his hand. Because the weight of the spear was quite a lot, Shirong had to amplify his strength with spirit qi, which continuously consumed wisps of spirit qi.

While it was a small amount compared to his stores, it turned to a large one when the spear was used for a longer time. Even with the spirit qi drops that Shirong had obtained from the spear after killing the beasts, his core was still half empty and needed to be replenished.

He reached the deer wood city after about an hour and directly flew to the courtyard, making use of his privilege of flying inside the city. Some people saw him and pointed at him, it was not every day that they saw someone flying like this in the city as it was reserved for influential and strong people.

Shirong landed in his courtyard and quickly sat down to cultivate.
