Rise Of The Worm Sovereign-Chapter 970 Hooking Them In
"You will offer us this cultivation technique?" Lord Cao asked, still finding it unbelievable.
"Yes. And not just that. For the lords here who have been stuck at your current bottlenecks I have something too." The Shadow Lord replied. "I can help you breakthrough further. You can reach the Immortal Ascension realm too." He added.
As soon as the three Dao Treading realm city lords heard this, their throats went dried. But then their hearts started to pump fast and an irresistible temptation rose within it. They had exhausted their potential years ago, and only yearned to let their clans progress.
But now that they had an offer to break through again, there was no way they would give that up.
"We accept!" Lord Cao had no reason to reject it. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖
'Even if we had to associate with the Calamity Fiend, this is all worth it. Besides, it is better to side with the winning party.' Lord Cao convinced himself.
They didn't care that they would be going against the entire Long Continent by doing this anymore.
"Good." The Shadow Lord smiled. "I'll give you all the cultivation technique. You can pass it on to your people and juniors. Let the grow strong first." He instructed.
"W-what about us Shadow Lord?" one of the city lords asked. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶
"You all can cultivate it too, the only difference is that it will take you longer as your bodies will take time to adapt to it. But once you have, I can assist you all in breaking through to the next realm." The Shadow Lord replied.
Hearing this they felt satisfied. Being Dao Treading realm cultivators, they knew that switching a cultivation techniques wasn't easy. The further one reached using a cultivation technique, the harder it became to switch.
In some cases, it could even cause Qi deviation. Many times cultivators were at a loss even after finding a high ranking cultivation technique. Their past cultivation would clash with their new technique, effectively making it junk.
Thus finding a suitable technique was very important. And the Shadow Lord's words had just relieved that trouble for them. After all, just watching the juniors cultivate such a high ranking cultivation technique would have left them a little too jealous.
"I shall impart it to you now." The Shadow Lord stated before lifting a finger.
~SHUA~
Before they could even react, several streaks of smoke shot out from the Shadow Lord's fingers. The smoke entered their forehead and they felt a sharp pain.
~UGH~
A mix of cries and grunts were heard. The weaker cultivators fell to their knees and even the three city lords who were in the Dao Treading realm had to clutch their heads in pain.
Ten seconds passed before the pain finality subsided. Everyone felt new memories appearing in their mind, and in these memories, there was information about the new cultivation technique.
'The Shadow Revolution Technique…' Everyone learned of the name.
This was actually a weaker version of the Chimeric Revolution technique that Feng and Cang Ci practiced. Lin Wu had the system modify it so that it would be more stable and not make one explode.
But despite that, its cultivation speed was still quite fast. It wouldn't be unusual for a body tempering realm individual to reach the Nascent soul realm within a couple of years.
And if one went ahead and used some 'unorthodox' means they would be able to speed this up even more.
"This is truly profound… such a technique is possible?" The three Dao treading realm experts had seen many cultivation techniques and manuals before.
And yet, this one was the most shocking to them. The methods described in them were deep and complex. But despite that, they realized they were able to understand it fully.
'This can't be normal… is this due to the method Shadow Lord used to impart it to us?' Lord Cao wondered.
He had never seen or heard of such direct memory transmission before. He felt as if he had been learning this cultivation technique for many years.
"We thank the Shadow Lord for your grace!" Lord Cao took the lead in thanking him.
His voice was filled with gratitude and others quickly joined in as well.
"We thank the Shadow Lord for your grace!"
"We thank the Shadow Lord for your grace!"
"We thank the Shadow Lord for your grace!"
Their voices echoed in the hall, getting louder with each praise.
'Good! Good! Rejoice and spread the cultivation techniques to your people. And… then be sacrificed to my crystal weapons.' Lin Wu chucked in his mind.
This was his main goal behind giving such a strong cultivation technique to them. Since he was gathering more and more spirit Qi, he couldn't just rely on beasts to do that.
Plus the powers of the Long Continent would be getting aggressive soon, having to go with the Calamity Fiend. There was no way Lin Wu would let all of them target the lone Calamity Fiend.
Even if the Calamity Fiend could deal with them all, the gains from that for him will be quite less. The efficiency would be low and the yield would be one time.
But if Lin Wu spread a strong cultivation technique among the humans, he could then use them as a source of more energy and Qi.
'Grow fatter quickly with my 'fertilizer'…' Lin Wu internally said to his 'cattle'.
He would be raising the humans, then letting them be slaughtered by the crystal weapons. The spirit Qi absorbed from their bodies would then be returned to Lin Wu's main body.
It was the perfect sustainable farming method, in which he only needed to provide the tools. Once that was one, others would farm for him and then give him all the fruits.
"Go on then, do what I've told you." The Shadow Lord spoke.
"Do you not have any other orders for us, Shadow Lord?" Lord Cao questioned since Lin Wu had only given them a reward with no task.
"For now, just focus on yourselves. Oh and also see if you can get others to join. If not, I'll get rid of them."
