Rise Of The Worm Sovereign-Chapter 983 Past History

Hearing Tian Guisha's condition, Lin Wu felt a little pity for the old man.

He didn't know if he would be able to bear it if he couldn't eat all the good food and snacks there were in existence. It wouldn't be too far to say that one of the reasons why Lin Wu had come this far had been due to the motivation of food.

Without it, Lin Wu might have just given up at one point. And it wasn't even just food either, not being able to use normal cultivation resources along made this very difficult. Lin Wu had the opposite characteristic of this, he could basically consume any type of resource.

The system could automatically process it, and his crystal body was hardy enough to digest and absorb anything. And if he really needed to, he could even digest something by breaking it down to the very atomic level.

If he didn't need a specific kind of a molecule, he could keep on bombarding it with radiation until it reached the smallest form possible at that point.

~DING~

The system's notifications continued to pop up again, having obtained more data that was even more detailed. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

"Hmm, I understand what happened to you and how you formed this body. But… what did you do after that?" Lin Wu questioned. "I heard you came into conflict with your clan again." He asked.

"I did indeed. I fought with the four Immortal ascension realm ancestors of my clan, killing two of them in the process. But I got injured in the process, forcing me to retreat again. Thankfully, even if I'm physically injured, all I need is energy from this volcano to return to my peak.

Though there are limitations too… Since I cannot use normal spirit Qi, I need to return to this place to replenish it. This ultimately means I cannot leave for long. Most of my work was left to my subordinates, some of whom are now descendants of my original companions from the clan and some that I picked along the way.

My last conflict with the clan had allowed me to gain a new understanding of the continent too. But since then, I haven't gone out myself. All my work has been done though my subordinates." Tian Guisha answered.

Hearing this, Lin Wu felt like it might have been one of the reasons why the Tian clan was willing to let in the external members from their branches into the main clan. But it also made Lin Wu wonder about the ancestors themselves.

"Wait, you said you killed two immortal ascension realm ancestors, so how many are present now?" Lin Wu questioned.

"The ones I killed were my grandfather and another ancestor. This left the clan with two immortal ascension realm ancestors, but then during the eight hundred years I was in seclusion two more have become ancestors." Tian Guisha replied. "I learned all this from my subordinates that go out to survey from time to time." He added.

"Is that so? Hmm…" Lin Wu then recalled of a certain object he had gotten a while back. "Then is this yours?" he asked and took out an object.

~shua~

A small sword appeared in front of him and floated in the air. This was the same sword that Lin Wu had gotten from Tian Han and the Slim Arm ape had said it had the symbol of Ghost of Tian on it.

"This…" Seeing the small sword, Tian Guisha narrowed his eyes. "It is certainly from my people… but not directly my own. The symbol on it is my crest." He said.

"How did you get it though?" The old man wondered.

"So you don't know either? Huh…" Lin Wu had not expected this.

Though after thinking for a few more moments, Lin Wu recalled that it might be due to the subordinates of the Ghost of Tian.

"By any chance, did your subordinates carry out a survey mission in the Tian clan branch south of Frozen Cloud sect?" Lin Wu questioned.

"This… I don't know." Tian Guisha said, before turning to the paralyzed man. "But he surely does."

"Is that so?" Lin Wu looked at the paralyzed man that was knocked to the corner and exerted his will.

~shua~

The poison within the man's body was neutralized and a wisp of energy also entered him, allowing him to recover his consciousness.

"HAAA!" The man woke up startled.

Even if he had been freed from the paralysis, the pain was still there. His body was quickly covered in cold sweat, but upon seeing his master there he calmed down.

"Jifen, did you carry out a mission near a branch of the Tian clan?" Tian Guisha questioned.

"We… we… we did…" The man named Jifen said between breaths.

He was still in pain, thus finding it a bit hard to speak. But since it was his master asking, there was no way he could deny it.

"Tell me about it in detail." Lin Wu ordered.

Jifen looked at Tian Guisha in slight confusion but then saw him nod. "Do as he asks." Tian Guisha acknowledged.

"We did indeed go there. It was one of our routine missions we do every ten years. That was the second last mission we did… just before the one in which we learned of your existence." Jifen replied.

"Hmmm… but then how did this come into the hands of a junior of that Tian clan branch?" Lin Wu questioned while showing him the small sword.

"Huh? This sword? I thought I left it for the clan members as a guide." Jifen replied.

"So you did give it to him?" Lin Wu inquired.

"Well, I meant it for anyone in the branch clan. This is something we have done for a long time. Someone finds the guiding item and then come to find us. It's how we get new blood to join us." Jifen explained. "One of the junior elders of the Tian clan, Jigou also joined us like this. He now acts as our spy in the Long Continent."
