Chapter 985: An Immortal Ascension Level Pawn
Lin Wu had not found that many traces of the Taiji Celestial on Ming Dao world other than the tomb, which had left him wondering if there really were others.
All the information about the Taiji Celestial that Lin Wu had passed on to others was true, but its spread was fabricated by him. Thus, hearing that there really were other records left him a little interested.
“And where did you find these records?” Lin Wu questioned.
“I found them during my travels. Most of them though I found on the corpses of the dead invaders.” Tian Guisha answered.
“That makes sense…” If it was people from the other worlds having this information would be considered normal.
But thinking this gave Lin Wu another idea.
“Did you perhaps gather all these texts and documents? And didn’t let any other power have them?” Lin Wu guessed that this might be the biggest reason behind the existence of the Taiji celestial staying a secret.
“Yes. I wanted to find a solution to myself, so how I could I let others have it.” Tian Guisha stated.
‘Well seems like he unknowingly helped me out. This allowed me to control the narrative…’ Lin Wu thought to himself, feeling pleased.
Tian Guisha though was a little impatient and asked again, “how do we find this inheritance then? How will we rebuild my body?”
“Like I said, the full inheritance is in the Millennium forest, under the control of the King. If we want it, we’ll need to deal with him first.” Lin Wu replied making the man, think deeply. “Think of it this way, we now have the common enemy.” He said after a minute.
“That’s true…” Tian Guisha found that to be rather accurate.
He needed a new body, and the calamity fiend had an enmity with King Lin Wu. What he wanted and what the Calamity Fiend wanted was under the grasp of the same being.
“I’ll accept your request, but you’ll have to help me out too. Since you have partial inheritance of the Shadow Calamity, I’ll consider you an ally, being of the same lineage.” Lin Wu started his act.
Hearing this, Tian Guisha was moved. For thousands of years, he had been worried, but now he finally had a direction.
“I’ll do my best to help you out.” Tian Guisha replied.
Cang Ci who had been watching from the side, was internally impressed.
‘Master added a strong ally just like that… he’s truly wise…’ Cang Ci thought.
She was one of the few people that knew of both aspects of Lin Wu, whether it be the king of the millennium forest kingdom or the calamity fiend. She didn’t mind working for both the aspects, as Lin Wu had already earned her eternal gratitude and loyalty.
Knowing both the aspects also meant that she had a better view of Lin Wu’s goals, the biggest of which was being the highest power of the Ming Dao world. She could also understand that the best way to do this was none other than to control both sides of the conflict.
It was the most efficient method and would also help him eliminate some of the more ‘problematic’ issues within the world.
While Cang Ci was thinking about all this, Lin Wu spoke to her.
“Cang Ci, work with your squad and gather all the information they have accumulated in the form of documents and texts.” Lin Wu sent this thought their communication link. “Tian Guisha, I’ll have my subordinate Cang Ci, coordinate with you and your people.” He said this openly.
“That is fine.” Tian Guisha said. “I’ll do whatever it takes to fulfill our goal.”
“The main thing we need to do is make a front against the united powers of the Long Continent. The Long Clan and the Ji clan both have Immortal ascension realm experts, who will be the main adversaries on the human side.
I’ll have you deal with them, while I deal with the King Lin Wu.” Lin Wu stated.
“I’m fine with that.” Tian Guisha agreed. “It’s not my first time going against the Long clan anyway. I’ve fought their ancestors before.” He added.
“You have?” Lin Wu was curious.
“Yes, but not the current ancestors. I’ve fought their second and third generation of ancestors. The current one should be the fourth.” Tian Guisha elaborated. “So I know how their techniques work. They are indeed strong through.” He added.
“What about the Ji clan’s ancestor?” Lin Wu asked. “I’ve heard they had an immortal too?”
“I don’t know much about them. They had their rise when I was still in seclusion. The immortal that they had is also unknown. As far as I know, their original ancestor that ascended in the past had always stayed in seclusion.” Tian Guisha answered.
“I see…” The ancestor and Immortal of the Ji clan were people that Lin Wu had little information about.
Even with Shirong being under his influence, he couldn’t obtains much information due to it all being strictly segregated. Even being the heir of the clan and acting patriarch didn’t allow Shirong access to it all.
Lin Wu reckoned that he might just have to make a visit himself.
‘Though now, it might be better to make use of my new pawn for it. Test out the waters…’ Lin Wu smirked internally.
But thinking about this also reminded Lin Wu, that they weren’t the only people that might oppose him. After all, these were just the powers of one continent, there were two more on which he would need to establish himself.
“Have you been to the Hu and Gui continents?” Lin Wu asked next.
“I have.” Tian Guisha nodded. “But a long time ago. I’ve explored a good half of the Hu continent, but didn’t see much of the Gui Continent. We also have some spies there too, but we don’t get information from them often.” He added.
“Hmm… What can you tell me about them?” Lin Wu asked.
“I don’t know about the recent situation, Jifen will know more.” Tian Guisha replied.
