Chapter 448: The End Of Meeting

Learning about the five Treasures realm was a strange thing to Lin Wu. He could tell that the Five Treasures realm was inherently far more superior than the spirit Qi cultivation since just the sub stages were as strong as the entire realms of spirit Qi cultivation.

But he also knew that it was very difficult to cultivate it. In the entire Ming Dao world, Lin Wu was sure there was no cultivator who had taken this path. As even in the memories of the Skull God there were rarely any people who practiced that path.

Not only did it require a lot of resources, but the process was often long and grueling. There were often times when a cultivator would be able to finish an entire realm of spirit Qi cultivation and not be able to cross even a single stage of the Spirit Qi cultivation.

Lin Wu had even asked the system if he could cultivate the Five Treasure realm but was given a straight no. This wasn't because it would be difficult, but rather because Lin Wu simply did not have a body that was compatible with it.

The five Treasures realm was mostly oriented towards humans and other humanoid beings that had a similar organ configuration like them. Since the five treasures realm correlated with the five organs, liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys according to the elements they represented; a person not having those would effectively render it impossible for them to practice that path.

Lin Wu had even inquired about the Body Tempering realm and its thirteen stages. But then got the answer that when the system rebuilt his body, it was made to the best of its capabilities.

In a way, the body Lin Wu had was far more capable than say a cultivator that had reached the Thirteenth stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

Another thing that Lin Wu had that others didn't have were the bottlenecks. Lin Wu would not be hampered by the bottlenecks and would be able to continue cultivating without a problem due to a system manufactured body.

In simple words, Lin Wu simply had a massive advantage as compared to others. This is also why he was not dissatisfied with being unable to practice the five treasures realm and was content with his progress.

After all, it had only been a little over three years since he had come to this world and he was already at the Nascent Soul realm. This was something that took people hundreds of years to reach, if not decades.

But Lin Wu also knew that this was something that would not be possible in the latter stages. The system could only carry him in the stages which involved pure resources such as spirit Qi. 

When it would come to stages that required his own comprehension and learning, Lin Wu would have to accomplish that on his own.

While Lin Wu was thinking all this, Senior Kong and his disciples had finally finished their little lesson.

"What are your plans now, Minister Qi You?" Senior Kong asked.

Qi You had been sitting silently while Senior Kong taught his disciples, letting him finish first. 

"There isn't much we can do if the ones involved are the Dao Treading realm beasts. The case with the Dread Coil Marsh burning is fine, since we did not care much for that filthy place anyway.

But the Jiao Dian city being burned to the ground is not something the Bing Kingdom can let go of easily. I'll need to talk with the king and see what decision he truly makes. Though I'm sure that it will involve further investigation into which beast it really was.

We will also be monitoring the Dread coil Marsh and seeing if any beast leaves on our end. I hope that senior Kong can do the same on his end." Minister Qi You replied.

"I see… keeping an eye will not be a problem. But I'll warn you Qi You, if it really is an old Dao Treading realm beast like we suspect, we might be biting more than what we can chew. 

You should also investigate the people of the Jiao Dian city in detail. I doubt a Dao Treading realm beast would attack without any provocation… if it was that same Dao Treading realm beast in the first place, seeing that you think it might be a Dao Shell realm beast instead." Senior Kong spoke.

Hearing his words, Qi You nodded his head in response.

"That is what I am intending to do as well. Perhaps it might be the time that Senior Kong comes out to the public once more and takes care of the Ivory Heron Dynasty in the open. This is a sensitive time and what happened with the Jiao Dian city might happen here too." Minister Qi You said with concern.

"I'll keep that in mind." Senior Kong stated.

With their conversation done, Minister Qi You stood up.

"I'll take my leave now, Senior Kong. I hope that our kingdoms can continue to cooperate in times such as these." Minister Qi You stated before flying away.

Senior Kong watched on in the distance as Qi You flew away and sighed to himself.

~Sigh~

"Youngsters… always so restless…" Senior Kong muttered to himself before returning to his room and sealing the entire abode.

"Looks like my work here is done. I should follow after that other guy and see how he actually reached here so fast…" Lin Wu said to himself before he left the mountain.

He continued to follow the minister while underground and saw that he was now heading to the south. 

"Oh boy… this will turn into a long journey, won't it?" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

But just as he was preparing to take a long detour from his return to the Millennium forest, he saw something that stunned him.

"Huh? A teleportation talisman?" Lin Wu said in surprise.

Lin Wu saw Qi You taking out a talisman which then shined and took him away.
