Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 963 The Upheaval Totem

Lin Wu didn't know what kind of effects his breakthrough to the Dao Treading realm would have on the are thus he reckoned it was best to keep any trouble to a limit.

Putting the city on Lock down would ensure that no one would cause an unnecessary disturbance. Though Lin Wu also had isolating arrays set up in the city for himself, he still found this to be the better option.

After Cang Ci left to carry out his orders, Lin Wu switched back to his main body. He needed his main body to be higher than his avatar after all.

"The forest will also need to be under a similar lock down…" Lin Wu muttered to himself and sent out several messages.

Within minutes of his arrival in the tomb, the Millennium Forest underwent a subtle change. The sounds of beasts reduced greatly, while their movement was also restricted. Several open trade areas of the kingdom closed up, making the humans visiting the kingdom confused.

But they didn't question or make any commotion. They simply returned to the areas they were assigned to be in.

In the current time, there was no one that would dare to make any trouble in the Millennium Forest Kingdom. Doing so would only mean their doom. Not only would they be dealt with strictly by the beasts, when they left the kingdom they would still be ostracized by the other parties.

No one would want to associate themselves with someone that caused trouble in the Millennium Forest kingdom or offended the beasts there. The kingdom brought great business and supplied a lot of resources to all over the continent now after all.

~huu~

"Let's get this started then…" Lin Wu muttered as he verified everything one last time.

"Start the breakthrough system!" Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

DAO TRACE: Selected

NOTIFICATION: Upheaval Dao Trace shall be used for breakthrough to the Dao Treading realm

HOST CULTIVATION: Upgrading!

——

Lin Wu felt his vision go dark almost instantly when the upgrade was started. It was rather different from his previous breakthrough and he couldn't sense anything happening around him.

'This is new…' Lin Wu thought.

~SHUA~

But then a few moments later, he felt his mind shake.

~RUMBLE~

Then in front of him, several motes of light manifested. These motes of light were dark red in color and had a black and grey edge to them. Lin Wu instinctively knew what they were upon seeing them.

"Dao Traces of Upheaval…" Lin Wu identified despite seeing them for the first time.

The Dao Traces were seemingly appearing out of nothingness, but Lin Wu knew it was not like that. They were in fact coming from his own body.

'Were they always in there?' Lin Wu wondered.

The Dao Traces continued to increase in number and it took around an hour for them to start the next process. By now a significant amount of them were present and could easily cover tens of meters of area.

~HUALA~

The Dao Traces started being sucked to a single point in the air before spirit Qi started pouring into that point too. All the Dao Traces that were scattered were now concentrated around a single point.

This led to the formation of a dark red sphere with black and grey edges. It was thirty centimeters in diameter and had a strange aura to it. If one looked at it, they would feel very anxious and uneasy.

And if they continued to stare, they might even breakout in a panic attack.

'The Dao Embryo should be forming soon right?' Lin Wu wondered why it was taking so long.

But no longer how much Lin Wu waited, there seemed to be no change.

"Did it lag out?" Lin Wu was confused now.

This was his longest breakthrough yet, and he wondered why it was not progressing along.

He gazed at the sphere of Dao Traces and pondered on it. Unknowingly he got lost in it.

Ten minutes… twenty minutes… forty minutes… two hours… four hours… eight hours… twenty four hours…

Lin Wu lost his sense of time and blankly stared at the Dao Traces, until finally his spoke again.

"The Dao of Upheaval… bring forth disruption, disorder and chaos. Observe the beings suffer and reap their suffering…" Lin Wu muttered as an understanding formed in his heart.

~HONG~

Finally, the dark red sphere that had not moved for an entire day showed some activity.

It started to compress and took a rectangular shape. The rectangle expanded, becoming thicker before a pattern formed on it. With this the shape was finalized and the Dao Embryo started to transform.

It took on a darker shade of red than before. The Dao Embryo now looked like a stone tablet that had been splattered with blood for a longtime. The blood had coated it over and over again, while also drying up and turning a dull grey in color.

~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~

But then a surprising change occurred, cracks formed on the stone tablet!

It looked like the stone tablet had been struck by a sledgehammer. It stayed in the damaged state for a while before a gold aura appeared around it. The aura seeped into the tablet and filled the cracks that had formed earlier.

Now it looked like the blood weathered tablet had gold cracks on it.

~SCREECH~

The sound of something sharp scratching against stone could be heard at that moment. It looked like something invisible was carving something on the stone tablet. The scratches though looked like brush strokes as a character was being carved into the stone tablet.

The character was complex having over a hundred strokes easily. But once it was done, Lin Wu could finally read it.

"Upheaval… The Upheaval Totem… The mottled stone signifies the passage of time, the blood signifies conflict and the gold is the fortune obtained in it all. Such is the upheaval totem." Lin Wu chanted lightly.

~DING~

Lin Wu opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him faded away.
