Chapter 818: A Pending Quest
Lin Wu returned to his personal hall and wondered what he should do next.
“Everything is pretty much set now, other than cultivating and comprehending I don’t have anything else.” Lin Wu said to himself.
~DING~
——
REMINDER: The host still has a quest to complete
QUEST: Hunt and consume the unknown bloodline beast.
——
“OH YEAH! I ALMOST FORGOT!” Lin Wu exclaimed.
Lin Wu had gotten strong over the years and didn’t have as much of a drive to find the beast. It didn’t help that there were no clues to the beast, either. Lin Wu wanted to make use of the tomb to find it too, but he was nowhere close to that.
“Do we have any updates on that end system? How long till the tomb’s formation array is good enough to track the beast?” Lin Wu questioned. “Or can you track it on your own?”
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The tomb’s formation array is still not at the right integrity to work. Repairing it will require higher power supply from the power source, but to decrypt it, the system needs additional AI cores, but for that the host needs a higher cultivation base.
——
“Huh… so it loops again.” Lin Wu shook his head.
He wanted to finish the quest to get the rest of the unknown bloodline to get stronger and increase his cultivation base, but to find it, he needed to increase his cultivation base as well.
‘Looks like I’ll have to either use some other method or simply keep on doing what I am right now.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
It wasn’t like Lin Wu had no other options in finding the beast with the unknown bloodline. There were other people in this world that might be able to assist him in finding it, or at least be able to track where the beast might have gone.
“No, wait… I’m missing one point.” Lin Wu was suddenly reminded of something as his heart fell. “When that beast was born, it was already at the Nascent soul realm. If we compare the time taken… what if the beast already increased his cultivation base to a high enough level and left this world?”
It was a possibility that could not be denied after all.
~DING~
——
NOTIFICATION: It is unlikely for the beast with the unknown bloodline to have left the world as it would either have to reach the Immortal Ascension realm and fly out of the world directly or to exceed it and be forcefully ascended to the immortal realm.
Either of those will be big enough events and will cause phenomena that will be noticed by the system.
Breakthrough from the Immortal Ascension realm will cause a great phenomenon and will be visible in the entire world, while simply flying out at the Immortal Ascension realm will also cause phenomenon as the beast will have to break out of the world’s restrictions.
——
“Hopefully it is like this. Or this quest might just have to wait for a long time.” Lin Wu said, feeling a bit relieved.
Lin Wu gazed at the screens for a while before muttering to himself, ‘guess its steady going from here on…’
While Lin Wu was at the tomb, there was something else going on in the Frozen Cloud sect.
“HAHAHA! I KNEW OUR FROZEN CLOUD SECT WOULD ONE DAY REACH THE TOP!”
“OF COURSE! With Chief disciple Wang Xiong, taking the lead, there was no way we would ever lose in the tournament.”
“Don’t forget, the new core disciples did really well too! If it weren’t for their skills, our sect might have only reached the mid rankings.”
Boisterous conversations were happening in the Great Palace of the Frozen Cloud sect. A great banquet had been organized and everyone was in a celebratory mood.
The elders of the sect were drinking like there was no tomorrow. Disciples laughed and joked around. Even the cold-faced patriarch of the Frozen Cloud sect, Patriarch Bing had a smile on his face today, albeit only a slight one.
Wang Xiong was also among the many people here and was exchanging pleasantries with the disciples of his sect and the elders.
“What will you be doing with the prizes Senior?” one of the disciples asked Wang Xiong.
“I… don’t know.” Wang Xiong replied.
“You don’t know? Won’t you be using the spirit fruit for yourself?” the disciple asked, feeling confused.
“I might or might not.” Wang Xiong said.
“Why? Don’t tell me you are thinking of selling it off?” another disciple chimed in.
“Perhaps… the spirit fruit won’t have much of an effect on me. It’s not as good for my cultivation technique either. I may as well just exchange it for spirit stones instead.” Wang Xiong replied.
“REALLY?!” The disciples were all excited upon hearing this.
“Oh? Is that true chief disciple Wang Xiong?” One of the elders sitting nearby asked.
“Yes, elder Niuzen.” Wang Xiong answered.
“Well, if it’s like that, then I’ll gladly accept it. Of course, if I can afford it.” The elder laughed.
“Ah, forgive me, elder Niuzen, but there is already someone that has reserved it for themselves.” Wang Xiong replied.
“What a pity… but if it has been done so, then I cannot interfere. I just hope that the exchange is beneficial for you too. After all, we wouldn’t want you to lose out. Otherwise it will las one a loss for the Frozen Cloud sect.” Elder Niuzen said in a teasing manner.
“It will be a fine elder. I surely wouldn’t make a deal that will make me lose out.” Wang Xiong
Wang Xiong continued to talk to the people there for a while before taking his leave and retiring for the day. But instead of heading back to his residence, he went some place else.
“What have you come here for today, Chief Disciple Wang Xiong?” A old elder that looked very close to death spoke. “Shouldn’t you be at the celebratory banquet?” He asked.
“I’m here to give you something, Supreme Elder Weizhe.” Wang Xiong replied with a smile.
