Celestial Peak

Chapter 87: Descending the Mountain

Wang Ling's roar echoed through the Ancient Creed Mountain and reached the ears of the onlookers on the foot of the mountain.

Master Black, who saw 'his' Mini World get destroyed by someone undergoing tribulation rushed up the mountain to get a glimpse of the bastard that destroyed what was supposed to be his.

"I'll kill that bastard!" Master Black saw that weird phenomenon. That weird sight when that figure rose into the air and the golden light exploded, it made him see that figure as if it was some kind of divine being.

However, that wasn't the only thing making him want to go up the mountain. The reason why he wanted to go up was that when he saw that golden light, he felt Lie Yan who was supposed to be asleep react with killing intent.

He immediately recognized that individual in the golden light as someone from what was called the Holy Race, "I'll kill him before he turns into a problem."

Master Black saw Wang Ling as an eyesore and a target that needs to be killed. Having someone from the Holy Race see him rise to become a devil inside the Mini World will most likely turn to his enemy.

But it wasn't just Master Black who entered Ancient Creed Mountain to see who faced the tribulation. Many of the local forces of the continent entered to see if that person was hostile or not.

However, those forces were inconsequential in the face of the movement by the seven great academies.

It wasn't just Xie Hai from True Devil Academy who went to Ancient Creed Mountain. The remaining six academies had come here since the dark clouds for the Minor Tribulation gathered.

They should have gotten here days before when the palace first appeared. But just like Xie Hai, they were all extremely busy before receiving the news this morning.

Everyone was wanting to see who caused that golden light to spread throughout the Ancient Creed Mountain. However, even amongst the seven great academies, Heaven's Will Academy, in particular, was moving as fast as they could to reach the mountain peak.

The Heaven's Will Academy was an academy that reveres heaven. For such a divine being to descend from the Heavens to the realm was something that made the hearts of Heaven's Will Academy tremble.

"That golden light was similar to the description on the [Holy Murals]. There's a chance a child from the heavens had been born in our realm." a senior student from Heaven's Will Academy said with much delight.

The other students nodded their heads in agreement. They too have the same sentiment as their senior.

Saints were entered the Ancient Creed Mountain in droves. Their presence put pressure upon the spirit beasts that have yet to even reach the pinnacle of nascent soul stage.

The Saints move fast, but one man in particular who moved like a passing shadow was five steps ahead of everyone and was already beside the 'divine being'. Qigang came before Wang Ling while Wang Ling was still putting on his clothes.

Wang Ling had already retracted both his halo and wings so  Qigang didn't see his true form.

Qigang had already gone to Creed City after the issue of the Devil Palace appearing. He was the current protector of the First Young Master, so he had to move as fast as he could.

However, he wouldn't have known that the 'divine being' that bathed in lightning would be the First Young Master.

Although he was the direct disciple of Sun Wu, Wang Shu Qing chose to keep the matter of Wang Ling's circumstances. Not that Qigang wasn't trusted, it was mostly because the issue was heavy.

Even Sun Wu had yet to know the issue when Wang Shu Qing talk with Qigang. He couldn't possibly speak of Wang Ling's current issue with the disciple before the master so Wang Shu Qing kept quiet.

On Qigang's shoulders was a white fox. It was this fox that told him that the 'divine being' was Wang Ling. Although Qigang didn't know the background of the white fox. He trusted its words, it was, after all always besides Wang Ling.

With his head deeply bowed, Qigang apologized to Wang Ling.

"First Young Master, I have heard of the challenges you have faced. But we have to move, the seven great academies are coming. Being connected will bring upon great nuisances to you and the family, please let us leave."

Wang Ling thought about it but in the end, shook his head.

"You're correct about facing nuisances, but I have my agendas that have to be met. Oh, but I have to make sure. Can you kill anyone coming here? I am still slightly injured and I can't do anything other than do simple actions. "

"Yes, I can. I can slaughter them all if you want me to."

Qigang answered with confidence. He didn't even feel a hint of embarrassment after claiming that he could kill every Saint present in the mountain. Which made Wang Ling really, please.

"Then that is good. Prepare to follow behind me and don't hide your presence but conceal your cultivation. Protect me in times of need." Wang Ling instructed with a calm attitude.

"I understand!" Qigang lowered his head once again.

Wang Ling smiled at him and decided that he will gift Qigang something good. Well, that gift is a little dangerous, but if all goes well, Qigang will like it.

=====

With Qigang behind him and Bai Xue on his shoulders, Wang Ling began a conversation with the little white fox who abandoned him without any hesitation. Bai Xue was the one who started the conversation with a laugh.

"Shi shi shi, I thought you were going to die. It was a surprise to see that you survived and I am picking up the peculiar scent of Heaven Realm on you. But that qi is not something I have encountered before."

With a shoulder shrug, Wang Ling answered, "I managed to rack tons of benefits this time around. Qi from Heaven Realm is just one of them, but I still can't tell much about it other than it is really interesting. I'll tell you more once I rummaged through the information I inherited."

"Oh, you inherited memories? Does that mean another bloodline aside from that True Devil bloodline of yours is another one? Shit, why don't you let me cultivate one of your techniques? I have never heard of any human managing two bloodlines at once that's not inherited, what's more, is that the two bloodlines you have are opposing bloodlines.

"Give me one of your cultivation techniques later! All I got with me are a technique that is not suited for my use! If you can give me a good one, I'll bestow upon you a cultivation manual that will help you in regulating your bloodlines."

Bai Xue was smart, from Wang Ling's subtle hints about inheriting memories and gaining another kind of qi, she managed to piece together an accurate conjecture. This made Wang Ling look at Bai Xue with a little fear of telling her about things.

Well, they did say that women have sharp intuitions about things. For better or for worse, Bai Xue was a woman. So is that where her sharp intuitions about things came from?

He didn't mind and Bai Xue's promise was tempting so he readily agreed with her terms. He had some top-tier martial techniques and cultivation techniques that are quite suitable for Bai Xue to cultivate.

Can spirit beasts cultivate cultivation martial techniques and cultivation techniques? Yes, some spirit beasts even create their cultivation technique to aid them in their path. While some disdain cultivating human techniques, some chose to cultivate to further themselves.

The linear thinking of their inheritance being the strongest had already been thrown away even before Wang Ling's era came to be. And it would seem that it is the same in Heaven Realm.

Wang Ling had been talking with Bai Xue for two minutes when a group of students wearing blue robes came across with his little group. Wang Ling looks at the man in the middle in the eyes and then smiled before giving him a slight bow.

The man in the middle did the same and in an anxious voice, he asked, "May I know if you were from the peak?" his voice was filled with respect.

The senior of the Heaven's Will Academy looked at Wang Ling with hopeful eyes. But he was also anxious for the senior knew Wang Ling from the tournament. If Wang Ling was the one from the peak and turned out to be the 'divine being', then he would need to poach him from the Thundergod Academy.

If Wang Ling turned out to be a figure who had some kind of connection with Heaven Realm then insinuating conflict with Thundergod Academy would be worth the trouble.

At the moment, the position of the [Son of Heaven] is vacant as the student who held that position had already graduated. For the Academy to have a 'face' that they can show to the other academy was important.

"That I am." Wang Ling answered leisurely.

"Have you encountered anyone else at the peak? You must have seen the Minor Tribulation, we want to know if you saw the one who underwent the tribulation." The senior became even more anxious. Only a single confirmation from Wang Ling was needed.

Wang Ling answered with calmness, "I saw no one and I just finished a Minor Tribulation myself. If no one else went to face against Minor Tribulation then the person that you are looking for should be me."

Wang Ling's attitude of being bold and brash that they registered him as was completely nowhere to be seen. Right now, what Wang Ling was showing to them was a very calm and collected personality as if he had never fought a Minor Tribulation.

The senior's face beamed and said, "Really? Then I want to invite you to Heaven's Will Academy so we can nurture you, I am willing to represent the academy and promise you that we will nurture you to the best of our abilities. What do you say?"

Showing a slightly hesitant expression, Wang Ling answered, "I cannot accept your offer. I have already joined the Thundergod Academy and I wish to go with their examinations. Also, I believe that this brother here cannot represent the whole academy in your words."

The senior did not mind the grating words of Wang Ling's questioning as he answered, "Brother Wang Ling might not know who I am but I am a direct disciple of Elder Fu of the Western Peak. Elder Fu is one of the Grand Elders of the academy and I can say with confidence that I can represent his words.

"As for the issue with the Thundergod Academy. That is not going to be a problem, if you enter Heaven's Will Academy, Brother Wang Ling will not need to go with the examination and will be enrolled even before you enter the territory of our academy. What's more, is that Brother Wang Ling will have the chance to become the He"

"Zheng Zan, stop with the sales talk and your attempt on poaching one of our examinees!" a husky voice interrupted Zheng Zan's full-on sales talk and the senior from Thundergod Academy descended from the sky as he continued, "How distasteful, is this what your Heaven's Will Academy teaching you?"

Senior Zheng Zan looked at the newly arrived senior with hateful eyes and hateful shouted, "Mind your own business Zou Jianhong, he has yet to be enrolled and listed in your list of students. I am only giving Brother Wang Ling over here a better future! Going to our Heaven's Will Academy will be much better than going to your barbaric Thundergod's Academy."

"Bah! Shut the fuck up with your blabber! This brother right here already chose our Thundergod's Academy and a man cannot just change his decisions. Besides, if he chose our Thundergod's Academy then that only means he seeks power not the hypocritical teachings of your Heaven's Lies Academy." Zou Jianhong started trash-talking the Heaven's Will Academy and Zheng Zan was angered so much that his face turned red.

The two began to argue and the powers began to pour. Wang Ling smiled as he thought.

[These people are biting the bait! Sigh, showing off the golden halo was useful! Hahaha.

It seems like showing that I follow the righteous path is so much better than the devil path.]
