Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 978 Strengths Of The Ocean

Just by entering the ocean, Lin Wu had discovered more Dao Treading realm beasts in one glance than there were openly in the top ten sects. This alone showed just how mismatched the powers of the land and sea were.

'Perhaps if it weren't for the fact that these beasts didn't prefer land, they would have already taken over it…' Lin Wu thought to himself.

But this also gave him another thought.

"Maybe I should take a snack break once I'm done saving Cang Ci and the rest… some grilled fish with sea salt might be good…" Lin Wu muttered to himself while traveling across the ocean.

He wasn't as fast as he was underground and also slowed down a bit consciously. After all,, he didn't know what kind of dangers hid in the ocean, and he didn't know much about the abductors either.

'So far no Immortal Ascension realm beasts at least…' Lin Wu thought to himself.

While he could very well fight an Immortal ascension realm beast or cultivator, Lin Wu would like to avoid that if possible for now. Being in an uncharted territory was a matter of caution after all.

A few hours later, Lin Wu finally came upon the location on the map. A long stack of smoke could be seen from the distance and upon getting closer one would find a group of islands with one large island in the center.

"A volcanic island?" Lin Wu raised a brow.

So far in the Long Continent, he had only seen two volcanoes and both of them were a lot smaller than this volcano. From the Data that system had obtained, they knew that most of the volcanoes of the Ming Dao world were scattered on the Western coast of the Hu continent.

This as also one of the reasons why the Long Continent was the most stable continent of the Ming Dao world. It didn't have as many natural disasters as the other two continents. The Hu continent had volcanoes and also had earthquakes.

In the case of the Gui continent, it was prone to blizzards due to the fact that nearly two thirds of it was covered with snow and ice. All this information had made Lin Wu feel like perhaps he had been lucky to be born here.

"Still… for a volcano this large to be here, along with people… highly unusual…" Lin Wu didn't know who might chose to stay here.

Even for cultivation sect's this wasn't a suitable location. The system's scan had already shown that there were no spirit stone mines nearby, and neither were there any major arrays set up on the islands.

"System, do a full scan." Lin Wu ordered.

He wanted to see just how many people were hiding there and where Cang Ci was.

~DING~

In just a few seconds, the system had finished its work and gave out its results.

"Immortal Ascension realm cultivators… no wonder they could abduct them…" Lin Wu narrowed his tens of eyes.

He looked at the rest of the data and saw that there were multiple buildings all over the island group with the main island having only one large building. Not just that but it seemed to be built directly in a lava pool and wasn't burned.

This was just the infrastructure, in case of manpower the system had detected several Dao Treading realm cultivators and Dao shell realm cultivators.

"Eight Dao Treading realm cultivators and twenty-one Dao Shell realm cultivators… adding the two Immortal Ascension realm cultivators, they are already comparable to the Long Clan…" Lin Wu was surprised.

Simply having one Immortal realm cultivator would have put them at the second position in the Long Continent, but they had two. It seemed highly unusual for a power like this to be hidden away like this.

"Unless… they are hiding due to someone?" Lin Wu guessed.

Regardless of this though, he knew he had to make some preparations. Just barging in might not fare well.

"Let's get some things set up first… that volcano seems perfect to be blown up." Lin Wu already got the system to point out the flaws and more data in the volcano.

~WHOOSH~

In the next moment, Lin Wu directly dived into the ocean-going straight down to the ocean floor. If he wanted to take the best advantage of the topography, it would have to be done a little more secretly.

And while Lin Wu was doing all this, something else was happening in the central building on the lava pool.

Inside it, the one eyed old man sat at a table. On the table several plates were kept, but the dishes in them didn't really seem like 'food'.

Instead, the plates were filled with different kinds of stones, rocks, coal, and the bowls were filled with lava.

But this was merely the start of the weirdness.

Opposite the one eyed old man was none other than Cang Ci. She had a confused expression on her face while she observed the man in front. On her side was another man who had a stiff expression.

"We've done as you asked, Master." The man standing next to Cang Ci spoke.

"Mmm… I see that." The one eyed old man muttered.

He lifted a bowl of lava and took a sip, before putting it down and gazing at Cang Ci.

"Dao Shell realm before the age of thirty… A body with toughness that I've never seen… and bones that are… Unnatural…" the one eyed old man spoke one by one. "And a woman as the Shadow Lord…Truly… the unorthodox path seems to be returning to its peak."

Cang Ci didn't mind her cultivation base and power being revealed as much as the last sentence of the old man.

"Shadow Lord?" Cang Ci almost chuckled. "Did you think I… am the shadow lord?" she asked.

"With such high talent as yours, only you seem to be worthy of that title." The old man replied.
