Celestial Peak

Chapter 28: Opportune time to cultivate

His soul began to tremble as his first pair of wings appeared. However, that is only because his soul has yet to adapt to his current physical condition.

It took some time but finally his soul began to change shape. His soul began to have wings that stretches the same as his height. Wang Ling noticed that his body had actually changed.

His body that had yet to be refined and practiced to the limits had improved by leaps and bounds. Although his body has yet to reach its peak, it was still far stronger than what it used to be.

His muscles were beginning to become more defined. In his own speculation, he should be reaching the peak of body cultivation.

What's more is that his cultivation has improved. At the moment he had already reached pinnacle-earth root stage. Base on his calculations he will be able to break through the barrier of the sky-root stage any time he want.

"There's no time like today." He mused as he turned his over to the pool behind. With him being butt naked, Wang Ling jumped into the pool and immediately started meditating.

At the moment the storage he kept his treasures in was nowhere to be found. But he had this mysterious pool he woke up in and it would be a shame not to take advantage of this situation.

The instant he jumped in his unfurled feathery wings managed to get to be submerged in the pool without much problem. Wang Ling had yet to grasp the usage of his new body but he had to take advantage of his current bodily situation and advance the next stage.

His bloodline had just experienced a mutation and his transformed body was full of life and energy that it made the barrier to the next stage look flimsy. Wang Ling knew that it was the time to advance to sky root stage.

Circulating the Overturning Nine Heaven Art, he initiated his 'cosmic roots' to start absorbing the spirit qi in his surroundings. The spirit qi began to be greedily absorbed by his cosmic roots as its force began to increase.

Bam! Bam!

The sounds of his cosmic roots colliding with the barrier of the next stage could be heard coming out of his body. The sound had rhythm and it was forceful, the collision was fierce as it carried the qi of hell.

His hellish qi had changed. After his bloodline mutation, the purity and the denseness of his hellish qi has increased. This occurrence was not that strange as his current blood and body, albeit being the lowest true devil, belonged to a true devil of hell.

Bam! Bam! Crack!

As the collision continued, the barrier began to break. Wang Ling took note of this and made his move.

"Break!" he roared as he gave a final push. His whole reserve of spirit qi rushed towards the barrier of the sky root stage like a tsunami.

Crack! Crack! Boom!

A surge of spirit qi coursed through Wang Ling's meridians. The cosmic that pried open the next stage reached another depth of the spirit ocean and a denser, much purer supreme spirit qi coursed through Wang Ling's meridians.

Wang Ling did not emerge from the pool as he started reinforcing his foundation. He continued absorbing the spirit qi of the pool and concentrated his mind.

As he was doing the reinforcement of his cultivation. He simultaneously began controlling the new body he had gained. Wang Ling's body does not belong to the race of humans anymore as it has already been tainted by another.

Wang Ling was originally human yet his bloodline was already that of a devil. He does indeed still possesses the blood essence of humans. But it had already turned murky and unclear because of the True Devil Warrior bloodline's presence.

Wang Ling was trying to gain control of his wings. At the moment the wings on his back was simply an inconvenience. He had to find a way to retract it or fold it so he can move better in the future.

As he was trying to figure out the way how he could retract his first pair of wings. Unknown yet informative memories surged his mind.

"This an inheritance!?" he was baffled after organizing the memories. The inheritance he got was different from the inheritance of normal humans and is more comparable to inheritance of beasts.

The inheritance he got was from his own blood. A biological instinct turned information. The True Devil Warrior bloodline might be the weakest of the true devil bloodlines it was still a genuine bloodline that stood at the top.

Going through the memories, Wang Ling was blessed with three things. One was the method of retracting his wings in something called as a [Devil Wings].

The Devil Wings was a method of turning the feathery wings of a true demon into a tattoo. The pair of wings can be retracted and called out anytime he wants in the future if he can master it.

The second inheritance was something called as the [Soaring Devil], it was a set of movement technique used by true devils. From what he know, the Soaring Devil have five levels. The fastest speed he could achieve in the future is travelling a thousand kilometers in a flash.

Consequently, the Soaring Devil also tells the method of devils soaring through the air using their wings. The name of the technique actually stemmed from this action.

The third and final inheritance he got was the method of cultivating a particular innate technique of devils. The technique was called [Piercing Vision]. It was an optical art and has the ability to further enhance his vision to see through illusions and formations.

It was a skill that can become tyrannical in the future if is utilized properly. After confirming the three inheritance he got. Wang Ling didn't dally and went ahead to practice the Devil Wings.

Circulating his hellish qi towards his spine. Wang Ling's body began emitting the devastating aura of a true devil.

It was baleful and terrifying. Wang Ling continued circulating his hellish qi and after an hour or so, a pitch black tattoo of spread out wings appeared in the middle of his upper back.

The tattoo that had been formed glowed baleful dark light before dissipating. Wang Ling's back now had the mark of his first pair of wings. He smiled as he knew that he only needed five more pair to reach the pinnacle bloodline prowess of a true devil.

Wang Ling spent another three hours reinforcing his cultivation and getting used to utilizing the Devil Wings. After confirming his rise in cultivation and his now exquisite retraction and summoning his wings.

Splashed!

Wang Ling emerged from the pool and finally, started observing his current situation. It took a while of making conjectures but in the end the only thing he could do was look at the sky and mumble to himself.

"I am in the middle of some kind of forest, butt naked, and does not have any possession with me. This is situation is rather unsettling, did somebody did violate my body?"

He mused as he laughed it off, but he had to think about it once more as he could not throw away that notion. Well, after checking multiple times, his yang qi kept in his 'lower brother' was still there, and his behind was also safe from any and every kind of stick.

"Thank go there wasn't any maniac who touched me while I was defenseless." Wang Ling jokingly said, he then remembered something and turned over to the pool he was submerged.

He had yet to actually observe it so he was rather intrigue to what that pool is. He walked over to the pool and looked down. He was just about to make an in depth observation when he saw the reflection of his body.

He touched saw what used to be his left arm and smiled wryly. This injury was caused by his weakness, and this weakness was his own fault.

"It will take a while of regrowing this thing. How long will take before I can enter saint phase again? Will I be able to do it in a year?"

He asked himself. This severed left arm of his can be regrown, however, he will need to reach saint phase first. By his own calculation, he will need at least a year before he can enter the saint phase, it may even take longer if he meets with unwanted troubles.

Wang Ling's severed left arm was in no way something good, but it wasn't entirely bad either. Although this injury of his will hinder him a little bit in upcoming fights, and will make him unable to do a number of things like:

Using the spear in combat (except for throwing it), using the bow as his main long range weaponry, practicing martial techniques that makes use of both fist, his some of his swordsmanship.

However, this can also become his advantage because with his left arm gone, he will be able to use ludicrous movement he couldn't do when he had both arms. For example, he can use an angle of attack that ca traverse a path that might inflict self-injury by accidentally cutting his arm possible.

That kind of angle can become a good surprise attack that can catch his enemy off-guard. Wang Ling was trying to make the most out of this experience and ingraining the fact that cultivation was not going to be easy in the future.

"Enough about this, I need to see what kind of pool this thing is. For it to contain so much spirit qi is too unnatural, it must be some kind of blessed land for cultivation. Hehe, if by some miracle that I am the only present here, I'll probably be able to reach saint phase in less than a year by absorbing all of this energy."

He said to himself as he laughed. But regretfully, Wang Ling was already quite aware that that kind of event will not happen. This kind of treasured area must be ruled and controlled by some power but he was currently in the dark as to who it is.

Crouching on the ground, Wang Ling reached out to the water to observe its properties. Carefully taking into account every ripple on its water, Wang Ling managed to slowly discern what kind of place this is.

"YinYang Heavenly Pool, this is cultivation land that's really beneficial for stabilizing the flow of erratic qi and blood flow. I'm not too sure about this but this place most likely have something to do with me going through bloodline mutation"

Wang Ling fell into silence as he realize that something bad had occurred and he will be needing a really good lie to create a proper backstory about his cultivation.

Waking up in this place in the midst of his bloodline mutation was not a coincidence. There should be someone who brought him here after considering his situation when he was in a coma.

"The one who saved me back then should be Butler Sun. The protector had managed to call out to him just before I fainted."

Wang Ling was not completely sure who brought him here but he should be able to know everything once he got out of this place. He stretched out his body and thought to himself.

[This place should be inside the territory of Piercing Heaven Empire.

I read about this place in the royal library's second floor, if I remember correctly this place should be the prize of the competition that is held every decade for youths under nascent soul stage.

It would be best if I don't move from my current position. The empire should be aware of me exiting the pool. However, it had been a couple of hours since I finished my bloodline mutation so why aren't there any people coming?]

He questioned as Wang Ling started looking around. This place should be the territory of the Piercing Heaven Empire so this place was supposed to be monitored.

If he takes his situation and mysterious status into account, there should be people coming out any minute now to give him a good explanation to what is happening.

Thinking this way, Wang Ling sat by the side of the pool and entered meditation. Although he was naked, he didn't really care as being naked doesn't affect him when he's cultivating.

Time passed and Wang Ling had actually absorbed a lot of spirit qi from the YinYang Heavenly Pool that he had reached the peak of early-sky root stage already.

Whilst cultivating, Wang Ling felt someone heading towards the pool. Getting up, Wang Ling knew that this people should be the one picking up.

Soon enough, an [Azure Condor] appeared from the horizon. Wang Ling watched the coming of the Azure Condor and nodded his head. This beast was still considered a savage beast as it was still an energy palace stage beast.

However, Wang Ling appreciated the fact that the mount coming to pick him up was large and spacious. The Azure Condor was a large beast with a body of fifteen meters large.

Scraaa! The Azure Condor gave a roar.

The Azure Condor circled on top of him.

Then, while waiting down, he saw a shadowy figure descending from above. The figure gently landed on the ground and Wang Ling was presented with a handsome young man around the age of 18.

"My name is Chang Yun, I am here to pick you up Young Master Wang Ling."

Wang Ling nodded and thought at the back of his head.

[I knew this was my ride.]
