Celestial Peak

Chapter 16: Nine Qi Pillars of the cosmos

The [Abyss], a world beyond the realm. It was like [Hell Realm] and [Heavenly Realm] that is considered as a higher realm in comparison to the Celestial Spirit Realm.

However, the abyss is not a higher realm that is filled of opportunity. It is a place wrought with countless dangers and beasts that no one had ever seen.

The Abyss Mini Realm is a pocket dimension of the Abyss Realm. It is connected to the Abyss Realm but only a small portion of the Abyss exist in this mini realm. From what had been recorded in books, the strongest being in a mini realm is a beast that had reached [Earth Saint].

There are other dangers the Abyss Realm brings to the Celestial Spirit Realm. For example, a beast horde might come out of the Abyss and devastate the lands of the Celestial Spirit Realm.

Wang Ling wanted to know about these monster hordes but the books of the library never mentioned it other than becoming a warning for what's to come. However, Wang Ling was satisfied.

A new realm had appeared in the realm and anyone could enter it freely. There had never been such a place called the Abyss in the previous era so Wang Ling was really curious as to what this new place was.

"This might be one of the by-product of me unchaining the realm. There should be unknown dangers and beast in there correct? That means there should also be opportunity in there."

If there's danger present then there's an opportunity waiting to be discovered. Wang Ling was well aware of this saying, he was someone who ventures the unknown and brave the dangers after all.

After reading a bunch more books, Wang Ling decided to leave. There was no more information he could read so he left the place and went to find Wang Yue.

It didn't take him a long time before he managed to find Wang Yue in the spirit plants section. He looked around and saw Wang Yue together with her maid sitting in a corner reading quietly.

The maid was standing beside Wang Yue while Wang Yue read the book intently. Wang Ling walked to them and spoke.

"Yue, I'm going back to the manor. It is already noon and Butler Sun should have prepared food for us already."

Wang Yue's ears twitched as she kept the book and placed it back to one of the shelves. There was no invitation needed to make Wang Yue come home after knowing that it was already lunch.

Wang Ling talked about the spirit plants Wang Yue had just read as they walked out of the royal library. They walked out of the royal library and called the two guards so they can leave.

No problem occurred and they were able to safely go back to the manor in mere minutes. Wang Ling and Wang Yue was greeted by Butler Sun in the front gates and was guided to the dining area.

The two siblings then ate, finished eating, and talked about certain matters before separating to do their own things. Wang Yue went back to her room before heading back out to the royal library.

Wang Ling on the other hand went back to his own courtyard and did what he do best. He trained his body to the limit until he couldn't take it anymore. He collapsed time and time again, this kind of practice continued until deep into the night.

After his practice he went and took a bath before heading to sleep and recuperate from the arduous training.

Morning came, 5 o'clock in the morning.

Wang Ling opened his eyes and got ready to cultivate. It was the seventh day of his qi pillar reconstruction. He sat on top of his bed for a while and waited for the sun to rise and bring the pure spirit qi he need to reconstruct his qi pillars with it.

His eyes were closed tight and his mind was serene like a lake. He waited for the surge of pure spirit qi to come patiently. He was not anxious as he was sure that sunrise will soon come.

And like he had thought, the sun rose from the east and brought light to the Azure Skies Kingdom together with the light was a surge of pure spirit qi.

Sensing the surge of pure spirit qi had come, Wang Ling initiated the circulation of Overturning Nine Heaven Art. The spirit qi of the world was then absorbed to his body like a whale that had opened its mouth underwater.

Wang Ling's body acted like a bottomless pit as he reconstructed his seventh qi pillar. His spirit qi circulated throughout his meridians until it reaches the space where his qi pillars were located.

Six golden qi pillars were suspended in the air. It was such a magnificent sight. The six qi pillars trembled as new wave of spirit qi arrived and entered his body.

The six other qi pillars trembled as a new qi pillar was beginning to take form. Wang Ling's body trembled as a new pillar became more and more corporeal, a few seconds later.

Boom!

A muffled explosion occurred inside his body, the explosion meant one thing and it was the completion of another qi pillar. The seventh qi pillar was form and now, he has again taken another step forward to cultivation.

Wang Ling basked in the majestic feeling and his qi pillars being reconstructed and supreme qi becoming present. He opened his eyes as the surge of spirt qi began dissipating.

He heaved a sigh of relief after realizing he managed to get out of that situation without any problem.

[The seventh day of cultivation practice has begun.]

He thought inside his head. He then began stretching his body and executed multiple Thunder Fist as a warm up, after warming up he began the execution of the Eight Tiger Maneuvers.

This kind of training was a daily thing for Wang Ling. He will wake up early and cultivate as soon as he can and reconstruct his qi pillars as fast as he could. He will then proceed to cultivating his body with martial arts.

Until his collapse, he will not stop executing his martial arts and make his body exhausted over and over again. The very essence of his dao right now was hard work, he was grinding his body to the utmost limit so he could prepare for the ninth day when he completes his ninth qi pillar.

After executing the Eight Tiger Maneuvers he will then proceed to swordsmanship. At the moment, he had finally reached the third and final form of the Tidal Wave Sword.

The third form was Ocean's Lull. It was a detection skill with over five-meter wide radius with him as the center. In layman's term, he will obtain a detection ring with a five meter radius after this form is mastered.

There is a stage in cultivation where one has to create their [Domain]. This domain is the world of a cultivator and has considerable power inside this domain.

The Ocean's Lull is like a domain, but its power is limited to a five-meter radius detection circle. In all truthfulness this single form is the only reason why Wang Ling practiced this low-level technique.

This technique was only an earth level technique but the Ocean's Lull brings it to the very pinnacle of earth level techniques. Wang Ling could cultivate this form any time he wanted so he held it off until now.

Opening his mind, Wang Ling meditated while standing. He expanded his senses through his soul and achieved harmony with his soul and mind. In a few short seconds, Wang Ling had managed to stretch his consciousness for half a meter.

In three minutes, it was a full meter fifteen minutes two meters and after an hour, it was five meters. With his senses stretched for five meters, he was able to completely grasp his surroundings.

No enemy would be able to sneak up on him now, he has no blind spot unless his opponent can control space and distort mind. Normally, if one wanted to completely master Ocean's Lull, one would need a lot of time to completely grasp the spreading of their senses.

After all, the senses being talked about here is actually one's consciousness. If something bad happened to your consciousness then there's a high chance the practitioner will die or turn into an idiot.

However, Wang Ling was once someone who stood at the top. Meaning, he had mastered and cultivated in the realm where domain is created. The process of spreading his consciousness was as easy as breathing to him.

The only thing that made him delay was the fact that he had to slowly grasp his current state. His mind and soul was the same as before but his body was not, it took a while but he managed to align his mind, body, and soul.

His mindset is that of the strongest and his soul is the same. If he couldn't grasp such simplified method of domain then it would be better to kill himself.

"This is better than I thought. I should be able to make use of this until I create my own domain. A mini territory is something useful indeed, but I should be able to improve this in the future."

Wang Ling contemplated as he observed the surrounding area. He did not need any kind of energy to retain the form of Ocean's Lull but he stopped using it after a few minutes.

His mind was that of the strongest but it was still taxing as the technique was unlike domain that is basically a law. With his mastery of Ocean's Lull reaching consummation, he had now officially mastered the Tidal Wave Sword.

His comprehension of the sword did not deepen but his self-comprehension did. His strength and his limitations were measured and his patience and resilience were tested.

If he use the Tidal Wave Sword with spirit qi right now, he should be able to fight a pinnacle earth root cultivator to a standstill.

However, that also means he has to reach earth root. To properly use spirit qi one needed to cultivate to earth root stage.

Wang Ling went back to his practice and this kind of activity where he cultivate, practice, sleep, wake up, and repeat continued until the ninth day.

Ninth day of qi pillar reconstruction process.

In the span of a short two days after his seventh qi pillar was created, Wang Ling never stopped his training. Wang Ling at this moment was inside his room sitting in a cross-legged position meditating.

He had his eyes shut tight. Patiently waiting for the surge of spirit qi that will reconstruct his qi pillars, Wang Ling was like a sage.

Then, it finally happened~

The sun rose from the east as light and spirit qi descent upon the Kingdom. Wang Ling greedily started absorbing spirit qi, he was frantically absorbing and absorbing as if he couldn't have enough.

His body was covered with golden light, his meridians were housing a great river that is gushing towards the space where his qi pillar was located.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

His body convulsed as the already formed eight golden qi pillars resonated with the ninth that is about to come. His qi pillars were excited, they were only missing one to complete the set.

The ninth qi pillar started to form, the other eight started to revolve. And then~

Bang!

The ninth qi pillar was formed, and as if the reconstruction. As soon as his ninth qi pillar was formed, the other eight began to tremble more intensely. Then, as they continued trembling, a bright light short out of Wang Ling's body.

Shine!!

His body was emitting beautiful golden light and his qi pillars were still trembling as they resonated with one another. However, even with all of these happening inside his body, he felt no discomfort.

In fact, when the light dissipated his face looked like he was in ecstasy and a smile gradually for on his face.

"The nine qi pillars are already lit up? Then, it is time to plant my roots to the world."

Wang Ling smiled.

Cultivation is now an available option for him.
