Rising Bloodline

Lin Mu's immortal sense scoured Little Shrubby's Dantian and found a swirling mass of qi within it. 

The qi was none other than the wood elemental immortal qi that Little Shrubby had absorbed after eating the fruits. It was swirling around his Nascent Soul and was nourishing it.

A flicker of energy could be felt coming from the nascent soul too, making Lin Mu realize something.

"Oh boy…" Lin Mu muttered in astonishment. "Senior is this…" 

"Yes… He's going to face a Tribulation soon." Xukong replied.

"But Little Shrubby hasn't even finished his lifespan." Lin Mu said before turning to the beast. "Are you triggering this yourself?" he asked just in case.

"No. I feel like it's happening on its own." Little Shrubby shook his head.

Lin Mu was baffled as to why it was happening. 

"It might be his bloodline. He has seven bloodlines, so it wouldn't be unusual for them to act out." Xukong said with a slight doubt.
