NOVEL WEB Chapter 1073 Two New Dao Traces
Lin Wu line up his tail against the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia flower, ensuring that it would avoid the plant stem.
~SLICK~
Then in one swift motion, Lin Wu's tail cleaved through the base of the flower, separating it from the stem. As soon as that was done, the flower emitted a wave of energy, as if trying to protect itself, but Lin Wu quickly contained it by surrounding it with radiation.
From afar it looked like a green sphere that was containing the flower within. Lord Geng Zilai who saw it couldn't help but find it rather beautiful. But at the same time, he knew that this was one of Lin Wu's skills as the energy within it made the man shiver.
With the flower contained, Lin Wu quickly stored it away stopping the chilly waves of energy.
"There we go." Lin Wu said before turning to Lord Geng Zilai. "That should solve your issues."
"T-thank you… Thank you so much, King Lin Wu." The man said with great joy. "And as promised, the Steel Frost Island shall now be a vassal of the Millennium Forest Kingdom!" Lord Geng Zilai proclaimed.
Lin Wu chuckled internally, before releasing a wave of energy.
"You should return to the island for now. It'll take me a while to set up the arrays. I'll inform you when I'm done." Lin Wu stated.
"Of course! My people will be greatly pleased, my King." The lord said changing the way he addressed Lin Wu.
"My barrier will protect you till you leave the lake. So don't worry about the remaining Dark Frost Energy." Lin Wu added, making the man relieved.
"I'll wait for your news then, my King." Lord Geng Zilai said before taking off.
He left through the hole that they had entered from, allowing Lin Wu to begin his work.
"Let's set up a barrier first." Lin Wu's body glowed as hundreds of runes rose from it.
The runes linked up and turned into a barrier formation that prevented anyone from entering the area.
"Hmm… this place needs a proper name too…" Lin Wu thought over it before coming up with one. "Since it'll be used for growing Ice Light Lichen, let's just call it Ice Light caverns." He decided.
With that done, Lin Wu let the system take over.
'The rest of the arrays will take more time. The system can handle that.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
He now wished to do something else.
~SHUA~
The Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia Flower appeared in front of him once more, as the concentration of Dark Frost energy rose once more. The Ice Dao Traces also started appearing, making the place colder.
"No use in waiting. Let's just consume it and see the benefits!" Lin Wu said with a wide smile.
That wide smile turned into a wide open maw that swallowed the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia Flower in one go.
~CHOMP~
"It's rather stiff and crunchy…' Contrary to its fleshy appearance, the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia Flower was actually more like ice in texture.
Lin Wu's thousands of spike like teeth quickly got to grinding it and his stomach got to digesting it as well. The poisonous effect of the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia Flower was still there, and while it didn't harm Lin Wu, it did slow down the speed of digestion.
It wasn't an issue to Lin Wu though as he had more than enough time.
He let his body do the work and waited for roughly six hours before the digestion was completed. At the same time, several strings of notification popped up as the energy of the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia Flower flowed through his body.
His innate skills of Chimeric Adaptation and Chimeric Resistance worked in unison, assimilating the properties of the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia Flower. It took him a few more hours, but the system finally showed him the results.
He could also feel it directly within his body as he could now sense the cold energies around him.
"Just as I expected…" Lin Wu could guess very well what he had obtained.
~DING~

The final improvement though turned out to be a lot better than he had guessed.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Lin Wu watched as the number of Dao Traces that he was compatible with directly increased by two.
Not just that but he could also see an improvement in the Darkness Dao Trace. While it was a small increment of just 4% it was still something that he wouldn't be sad about. The greatest gain though was the two new Dao Traces he had obtained.
"I expected the Ice Dao Trace, but the Yin Dao Trace too? Isn't that supposed to be one of the more esoteric Dao's that is hard to sense?" Lin Wu was shocked.
Even if he had the Taiji Celestial's inheritance that was composed of both Yin and Yang, actually comprehending their Dao's was way more difficult than actually using their elemental Qis.
This was the reason why Lin Wu had been unable to detect its Dao Traces so far. But the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia Flower had solved that too.
"Looks like I'll be able to improve my cultivation speed even more. And the Chimeric Revolution cultivation technique will also be improved." Lin Wu understood.
