Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 539 - Xiaoge And Jun's Circumstances- II



Xiaoge would have never through that almost thirty years after she had read about the Millennium forest she would learn of someone that had managed to gain something from there. 

This person was none other than the disciple named as Wang Xiong. She originally did not know much about the man, but had gotten interested after learning that there were rumors about him gaining a certain inheritance there.

It was unknown which expert it belonged to, but Xiaoge felt alarm bells ringing in her mind after learning of that. Her memories of many years ago came rushing back and her curiosity ignited again.

She had not told anyone about what she had learned about the millennium forest, as she herself was not fully convinced. Plus it wasn't something that was too outstanding either and did not require the patriarch or others of her clan to be disturbed.

Thus, she just let it go back then. But now, after discovering this, there was no way she would let go of it. She had always been interested in the myths and old tales and this was the best way to learn more about it.

And thus, Xiaoge did her best to get close to chief disciple Wang Xiong. After several months of effort, she managed to join the camp that the man had decided to make. She had met Wang Xiong a couple of times, but had been unable to ask him about the tomb or anything about it.

Her innate shyness and lack of a proper opportunity were behind it, mostly. Though she also knew that there was a great chance Wang Xiong might get offended instead. She did not want to spoil the relation between them, especially since Wang Xiong had a great status now.

Rather than doing that, Xiaoge decided to wait for a perfect opportunity. And this opportunity presented to her as the mission that was put forth by the sect. Many disciples were going to join it and try to find the secret inheritance of the Millennium forest and she was no different.

She was even more shocked when she learned that Wang Xiong would be personally selecting some of the disciples under him to go on the mission as well. Not only this, but he also gave them some insight into the things about the forest and how they would have to deal with them.

It was because of that they had managed to get this far without losing any of their members. It was Wang Xiong's tip that they should enter from the west of the forest, unlike the others that had entered from the south, even though it was the longer path.

They were very lucky and the obstacles they faced were still enough for them to overcome with relative ease. Even when they found the shrine of the Sky Bright Daoist, they had not thought that they would gain the inheritance.

The events after that were a bit traumatic for them as they ended up suffering a lot mentally. They were tested on their willpower and mentality at each point and those that did not qualify had still not passed the trials.

Xiaoge was appalled at the difficulty level of the trials and thought that even the Frozen Cloud sect's own official trials were not this hard. She wondered if they were given the chance to take those too, if they would find them easily or not.

But what she was more worried about was the fact that the main inheritance they had come for wasn't even seen by them yet. There were still more trials for them to take, and she was a bit anxious about how they were going to be.

So far, they had not suffered any physical harm and thus were fine. But Xiaoge was not sure if the tomb's trials would be the same or not. She was worried that she might be too weak for them.

Disciple Jun who was their leader right now, was at the Nascent Soul realm and was far stronger than her and thus he had a better chance at succeeding than her. But even then, she did not want to give up and thus decided to cultivate.

Thankfully, the beast who was also the caretaker/monk of the shrine did not force them to take them right away and had given them time to rest. She of course, did not know that it was intentional on the side of the 'Monk'ey beast as Lin Wu was in seclusion.

But now, she was about to be ordered to go there.

"Wake up," A voice was heard in the hall that the two disciples were sitting in.

Jun and Xiaoge opened their eyes and saw the monk standing in front of them.

"What is it, senior?" Jun questioned.

"It is time for you two to attempt the trials of the Taiji Celestial." The 'Monk'ey beast answered.

"Huh? So fast? I thought we could wait a few more months." Jun said.

"Things have changed and you are getting an opportunity earlier. Do you not want to take it?" The 'Monk'ey beast questioned, raising his brows.

"NO! No, no, Senior! We'll take it!" Jun hurriedly said.

He feared that the next opportunity might take a long time or something else might come up before that. Thus, he did not want to waste this chance. They had already rested for over ten months now and thus had recovered mentally from the trauma of the trials of the Sky Bright Daoist.

He and Xiaoge were the first two to pass the trials and thus had the longest time to prepare. The same could not be said for his fellow disciples and it had taken two months after they passed for the next person to pass it.

The last person to pass the trial had only done so half a month ago, thus they were still not fully done with this place.

But now the two of them had the chance to proceed further.

"What do we do now, senior? Where is the next location of the trials?" Xiaoge asked curiously.
