Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

It had been a few hours since Lin Wu and Tim had departed from the Steel Frost Island.

"Things are definitely getting hard to see here." Lin Wu muttered.

There were a lot of clouds as well as mist covering the entire expanse in front of him. They hadn't even reached the Ocean and it still felt like the moisture in the air was rising. Which was strange since it should have fallen due to how cold it was.

'The temperature is already below freezing. How's the mist still present?' Lin Wu was a bit surprised and couldn't help but take a look using his Radiation perception. But all he saw was a mass of blue covering his entire field of vision. "A mix of Dao Traces and Water elemental Qi… Strange." He muttered.

Usually there shouldn't be these many Dao Traces in the air. Something like this would be normal if there was something emitting it. But right now, Lin Wu was high up in the sky.

"Let's see how far up it goes…" Lin Wu said before rising up.

Tim couldn't follow after him, as even he had limits to how far up he could fly. Thankfully, the beast had gotten smarter and wasn't bothered when Lin Wu was gone. He could still sense him and simply followed the same path.

A few minutes later Lin Wu was already at the maximum height he could go. 

"So this is the limit of flying for cultivators, huh…" Lin Wu said as he looked up.

The sky above him was no longer blue, but had turned dark like the night sky. Endless expanse of stars could be seen, while the yellow sun outshone everything. If a normal human were to reach this height, they would have certainly been blinded by the sun.

But to Lin Wu, this was nothing. In fact, the increased radiation here was relatively pleasant to him.

'I can't seem to rise any more… as if something is blocking me.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

It was a strange feeling, as there was nothing solid above him. And yet, he couldn't rise by even a single inch.

"What's the current altitude system?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The host's current altitude is 141575.94 Meters above sea level.

——

~WHISTLE~

"Now that's high…" Lin Wu was surprised by this.

As far as he could recall, he should be in the Thermosphere if this was still the Earth. Of course, he had never been to the Thermosphere in his past life, but he could still tell that it was quite similar.

If anything, the radiation here was similar to how he had read. But Lin Wu knew it wasn't the same as Earth.

"Considering the size of the Ming Dao world, it is a far bigger planet than Earth. Accordingly, it's atmospheric layers should also be different. And yet… It doesn't seem like it." Lin Wu muttered as he thought about it.

The gravity here was still as strong as before, and yet he couldn't break out of the orbit. Lin Wu had been looking for a way to leave the world after all. Guardian Yun had researched about it too, and was unable to find any viable solution.

Many cultivators had tried to fly out of the Ming Dao world, but were stuck.

"Is it only possible to do so in the Immortal Ascension realm?" Lin Wu wondered if he could push the limits of this.

But no matter how much strength and energy he used, he simply could not break through this restriction.

~DING~

——

ANALYSIS: The host is facing a restriction from the Ming Dao world's laws. With the host and system's current capabilities, it is impossible to remove them.

——

In the time that Lin Wu had spent trying, the system had also finished its work of analysis.

"So that confirms it… Or rather this is the first time we've confirmed the world laws in person. And faced it…" Lin Wu was a bit amazed. 'But the question about the Mist is still not solved.' He looked below him and saw the mist.

The altitude he was at didn't have the mist, and he could see the space above him. But the mist was still present below him. It mingled with the clouds, making it look like a blanket of blue and white covering the world.

"I may as well continue onwards." Lin Wu kept on flying at this height while sensing the changes.

The patch of Dao Trace rich mist only stopped when Lin Wu had traveled for nearly three hundred kilometers. Now Lin Wu could see the clouds as well as the vast ocean underneath him. And floating in the ocean were large chunks of ice

"We're officially in the Northern Oceans…" Lin Wu confirmed on the map.

He took a look back at the area of mist and shook his head. 

"There are still some mysteries in this world." He muttered and started to go down.

Soon enough, Tim joined up with him, having a few corpses in its grasp.

"Where did you get those?" Lin Wu raised a brow.

"I caught a few flying through the mist." Tim spoke while munching on the beast corpses.

Lin Wu could see a mix of birds and fish beasts in it. Some of them even seemed to have been at the Nascent soul realm

Doing a quick scan with the System, Lin Wu realized that most of these were the native beasts of this area.

'I guess some snacks wouldn't hurt…' Lin Wu too decided to catch a few beasts on the way.

Their journey was still quite long, and reaching the final destination would take a while. Lin Wu ended up gaining a few more bloodline data entries as the days continued to pass.

The ice bergs kept on increasing in numbers as they went further north. The temperature seemed to have reached a minimum as well, no longer decreasing. Though Lin Wu could tell that once he went further, it would drop more.
