Rise Of The Worm Sovereign-Chapter 1015 Investments And Progress

Lin Wu's plan was progressing steadily and the Teleportation Array was quickly being taken over.

He was intended to hijack it and let the system make a secondary array for his own use. He would make use of the infrastructure of the preexisting array, and further link it to the other arrays he had established.

'Once all of them are linked, I'll be able to make a relay between Second Light City and The Taiji Celestial's Tomb.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

While the relay would be quite long, and even consume quite a bit of spirit Qi, it was still a viable option to Lin Wu. After all, it would cut down the travel time needed to reach the Hu Continent by quite literally months.

With the multiple teleportation arrays linked in a relay, he would be able to reach the Second Light City in just a day. Even this duration was due to the fact that some of the distant arrays were on islands that he would need to physically cross.

With the establishment of the teleportation relay, Lin Wu would also have a lot more maneuverability.

"The unknown bloodline beast is also likely to be here. It would be a shame if I miss it, due to being in the Long Continent and be unable to come." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Besides, the more his influence spread over the Hu Continent, the more resources he'll be able to obtain too. He was intending to turn Hu Dagao into an Angel Investor and take over as many sources of income as possible.

He would then channel these back into the Taiji Celestial's tomb and further improve it. After all, if the tomb was back at its full functionality, he'll be able to teleport anywhere in the Ming Dao world at a moment's notice.

~Sigh~

"So many things to do, so much time…" Lin Wu chuckled to himself and let the system continue its work.

And to not waste any time, he also read through all the new data he obtained. More particularly Lin Wu was reading the various cultivation manuals that the system had gathered. While he wouldn't be using them, he'll at least be able to comprehend more about cultivation himself.

After all, at the Dao Treading realm it was more important for him to improve his comprehension of the Dao Traces. Only then would he be able to improve his Dao Embryo and reach the next level.

Lin Wu had started to move on from just relying on the system and wanted to actually improve his own comprehension ability too.

He didn't sense this, but his personalty was starting to develop more and he was also getting stable on his own. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

Days continued to pass like this and the teleportation array had long since been taken over by the system and the process of linking it to the rest of the teleportation relay was also completed.

Lin Wu had simply been spending his time cultivating and reading.

Hu Dagao on the other hand had become very active in the political circles of the Second light Cities. The investments he had made with the six branches had turned out to be very effective and several of these projects were already starting to show promise.

In fact, the third branch that Hu Dagao had invested at the very last turned out to be the first ones to turn in the profits.

The investment project had been a metal ore mine that was suspected to have a high grade spirit stone vein underneath it. This preliminary guess turned out to be true, and they really did end up discovering a spirit stone vein.

Even if one disregarded the High grade spirit stone vein, the returns from the metal ore alone was also quite good. All these ores were used in the refinement of spirit tools and weapons and could be sold for a decent profit.

Thirty percent of this profit directly went to Hu Dagao, and the rest went to the third Branch heirs.

As for the investments in the other branches, they were either investment for the cultivation of spirit herbs, nurturing experts, or trade of spirit tools. Some of these would take longer to bear fruit, while some were faster like the trade of spirit tools.

It was a great surprise to the people watching this all, to see the six branches actually working in a semblance of harmony. But it wasn't like this from the start. They were a bit displeased that Hu Dagao was working with all of them at once.

But after his intensive convincing and assurances to boost the investment, the six branches yielded and continued their collaboration. And after seeing that there was indeed no issue, they were fine with keeping the status quo.

Of course, Hu Dagao's actions had not been missed by the main branch of the Hu clan either.

One mustn't forget that the branches of the Hu clan were also backed by the other direct heirs of the Hu clan.

Hu Dagao was ranked fourth in power and influence, and his elder siblings were surprised by this sudden change.

And two such siblings were currently in a meeting far in the private courtyard in the Sacred Capital of the Hu clan.

A man and woman sat in a luxuriously decorated courtyard.

~clack~

The woman placed the lid on the teacup and lightly shook it before pouring out some tea for herself.

"Little brother Dagao has become really active these days hasn't he?" Hu Shui spoke, her voice a little raspy.

"He has indeed… even managing to make collaborations with all six branches." Hu Peiliang replied, his expression straight as if not affected by anything. "But he has touched upon our pockets too, hasn't he?"

"He has indeed, elder brother." Hu Shui nodded her head in agreement. "It is a little surprising too, since this started right after he returned from the assigned mission." She added.

"It was about the disappearance and tremors, wasn't it?" Hu Peiliang asked.
