Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 1058 A Transforming Castle



Lin Wu and Tim were soon brought to the Cragfall city and got to see it from up close.

The Cragfall city was built along the long cliff that bordered the ocean coast. It was about a hundred meters tall and the waves from the ocean could hit some parts of it. There were also some parts that were covered with rocks and had several boats lined up on it.

Then there were these long cranes that were attached to the side of the cliff. They were used to move the catch of the day from the ocean that were brought by the boats.

There were also large lifts that could move entire ships up and down the tall cliff.

One could tell from this just how dependent on the sea the Wide Crag Kingdom really was.

This was also the reason why the Cragfall city spanned for kilometers along the cliff. Several of the villages were also located in a similar way and one could even say the entire coast of the Wide Crag Kingdom was covered in settlements.

While the Wide Crag Kingdom wasn't the smallest of the kingdoms on the Long Continent, it surely was the narrowest one.

Lin Wu also checked the people that inhabited the city, finding them to be tougher than the other humans he had seen. This wasn't the toughness that was obtained by training though, but rather the kind of toughness that one gained simply due to living in harsh environment.

'Having lived in this cold place, most of the humans here seem to have high resistance to cold and their affinity to the ice element as well as water element seems to be higher than normal. It's not exceptionable but it's certainly not the same as other humans.' Just a single look was all it took Lin Wu to figure out the condition of the humans.

Having done experiments on the members of the Shadow Legion and improving the different cultivation techniques as well as get bloodline tests that he had done over time. This had improved his understanding of humans as well as their innate talents.

"Here we are King Lin Wu. This is the royal palace of the Wide Crag Kingdom." King Yun Guiren gestured to the largest building of the entire city.

Even if it was the largest building though, Lin Wu had seen many other buildings in other places that were bigger than this. Not to mention they didn't even belong to kings, but rather use some low nobles.

'They seem to have gone for substance over style.' Lin Wu reckoned.

While the palace wasn't too luxurious, it was certainly built rather solidly. Not only were there decent number of formation arrays set up, they seemed to be of a higher quality than he had thought.

'These don't seem to have been made by them… Formations like these would need at least a Dao Treading realm cultivator to make them… not just that either, the resources needed to make them are also quite expensive.' Lin Wu started to see the reality of the royal place.

It was a lot more than met the eye.

He now understood that the foundation of the Wide Crag Kingdom might be deeper than he had originally thought.

'So they are a fallen power, huh…' It wasn't unusual for there to be kingdoms or sects that were used to be strong once upon a time.

Their people might have fallen in power, but their foundation were still strong. This was also the reason why they had managed to exist all this time and had not been wiped out by the other powers.

But understanding this, put another perspective in front of Lin Wu.

'They still have their foundation, thus why would they want to offer their land to me?' Lin Wu wondered before looking at the king. "I don't think I'll be able to enter this." He spoke.

"That won't be a problem, Kin Lin Wu. We can still accommodate you." King Yun Guiren said before raising his hand and making a few seals.

~SHUA~

As soon as he did, several arrays activated around the area.

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ Lin Wu narrowed his eyes, but did not found it to be any kind of an offense. The system hadn't warned him of any danger which meant that this wasn't meant to attack.

~RUMBLE~

He soon received his answer as he saw the area around the castle rising up. The rock parted and six pillars rose from the boundary of the castle. Then, a large segment rose vertically from the cliff, forming what looked like the base of an auditorium.

The cliff's segments kept on rising, until an entire auditorium had been formed with the castle facing its inside. The castle's top too opened up, with a throne and several seats rising along with it.

'What's the analysis on this system?' Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The castle is a peak grade Formation array that is made up of several subsidiary arrays. It can transform the castle into a peak grade spirit tool as well, giving it offensive and defensive abilities.

The current form seems to be the defensive form and is meant to guard from the threats coming from the ocean.

——

Seeing the system's analysis, Lin Wu finally understood why the Cragfall city was built like this and why the castle was small.

'They had condensed everything into as small as possible to reduce the amount of area they would need to defend. Then the transformed castle can form a large barrier against attacks coming from the ocean.' Lin Wu was impressed by this.

It was the first time he was seeing a fully transforming array that could directly affect buildings like this outside of the Taiji Celestials tomb. There was the ruins of the Vermillion Bird sect, but they had been damaged too far to be considered valid now.

Perhaps in the past they might have been one of the greatest examples of a transformative formation array fortress.
