Rise Of The Worm Sovereign-Chapter 977 Heading To The South
Lin Wu rushed through his underground tunnels and covered thousands of kilometers of distance in less than a day. His efforts to building these tunnels were finally showing him the benefit.
They were now his personal expressways that could allow him to go anywhere in the Long Continent. Of course, he was also intending on expanding them beyond it, but he simply hadn't had the time to do it.
After all, he only had two bodies to use and tons of work to do.
'Teleportation Array will still be the fastest. The Tomb's recovery is going well, but it still needs a lot of work. At this point it's more of a matter of time.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
Even the matter of energy supply for the tomb had been mostly solved. Right now the tomb's array could supply the entire forest a continuous supply of energy at the basic level. As for the more energy intensive uses, like teleportation and security arrays, they were being supplemented.
"At the very least, the spirit stone mine source crystal from the Cang Lan sect are coming in handy…" Lin Wu muttered.
After the Cang Lan sect had been erased, Cang Ci had taken away all the hidden resources. But the spirit stone mines still existed there, it was just that they were hidden by Lin Wu. He came to take them at a later date.
The Cang Lan sect alone had two peak grade spirit stone mines along with a few more lower grade mines for a total of eight. This was a massive number and according to the information Lin Wu had obtained before was inconsistence.
The sect had actually hidden their true wealth that was in the form of the mines. All this now belonged to Lin Wu now and the source crystal were planted deep under the Millennium forest kingdom.
They were nurtured according to the most optimum method the system had devised and had already turned into a spirit stone mine. The only difference was that, instead of multiple spirit stone mines, it was a singular large mine.
If he wanted to make multiple mines, he would have to wait hundreds of years. With the system's method, a single mine could be made in just a year or two with multiple source crystals.
Thankfully though, the spirit stones in these mines weren't really going to be use in the normal way. They were never going to be mined, instead they would be directly supplying energy into the array.
This ended up providing enough compensating energy that Lin Wu didn't really need to worry about the tomb now. Even the repair process was mostly automatic, with the array having it integrated in its origin.
It was one of the many worries of Lin Wu that had been swept away.
'But now more problems surface… guess this was bound to happen…' Lin Wu thought while his body glinted with a faint light.
~SHUA~
Changing his direction, he rose into the sky.
~WHOOSH~
The surface of a lake rippled for a moment before a large body shot out from it. This being none other than Lin Wu.
"This is as far as the express tunnel goes. I'll have to fly the rest of the way…" Lin Wu followed the route on the map and continued onwards.
Lin Wu was currently in a forest that was barely three hundred kilometers away from the coast of the Long Continent.
"For someone to take them all the way here is unusual. There are no sects here and even the southernmost kingdom ends its border far behind." Lin Wu muttered. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m
For all senses, this area was free of all influence and had no kingdoms or sects ruling over it officially. There were not many such areas in the Long Continent and the southern coast was one such part.
The main reason being that there were several Nascent soul realm beasts here, along with a few Dao Shell realm beasts. There was even rumored to be a Dao Treading realm beast, but people never found it.
Though in reality it had long since been consumed by Lin Wu too. That was also when he was originally expanding the tunnels here. But even then, Lin Wu hadn't come this far out.
"Well, at least the coast is rather nice…" Lin Wu said, taking a look at the vast beach.
The sand was yellow with countless sea shells mixed in it while the water was crystal blue in color. The only thing spoiling the scene was the beasts roaming around.
There were large crabs the size of a dog scavenging the sand, while birds as large as cars flew around pecking at them.
In the distance, one could even see a large rock, moving across the coast. But if one got closer, they would realize that this was no rock but a large snapping turtle!
"No wonder humans don't live here… they would just become a meal." Lin Wu said to himself before soaring past the coast and into the ocean.
The beasts below scuttled away, being scared by Lin Wu's presence. The mere aura he exuded was enough to knock out Qi refining realm beasts and freeze core condensation realm beasts.
Thankfully, he was fast and the beasts didn't need to suffer it for long.
,m 'They really went this far into the ocean… there are no records for this area…' Lin Wu went through the data that the system had.
Other than the central 'Y' ocean area between the three continents, the rest of the ocean was barely explored by the people. Even when the invaders arrived in the past, they hadn't really gotten around to exploring the oceans.
As far as Lin Wu knew, this might also be where the most life on this world might exist.
~DING~
——
SCAN COMPLETED: 23 Dao Treading realm beasts detected!
——
"Just as I thought…" Lin Wu muttered. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m
He had asked the system to scan the maximum range possible for it and filter out Dao Treading realm beings. And this was the result.
