Celestial Peak Chapter 289
Advertisement
Inside the depths of Wang Ling's mind, deeper than his mindscape. There he was, floating in the abyss that is his mind. By his side was the gray figure watching him in disappointment.
"You are dying, what a good start. You have touched the door of Chaos, you have achieved harmony through destruction and creation but you have entered far too deep. Young one, are you really going to do nothing?"
Wang Ling's weakened soul did not speak. His whole being did not have any strength after everything regarding this day is over. What's more, is that his soul had been pressured far too many times by the Bell of Heavens that he can't really do much.
The Gray Figure moved and got closer to Wang Ling's face, their two eyes that nearly resembled each other looked at one another. The Gray Figure shook his head, "Your master told you to live, and create a family, are you not going to fulfill that promise?"
Wang Ling's eyes wavered, he gritted his teeth before losing his strength to do anything, "I have done what he had wanted. I did have a family, and let one of them die in my presence. And when you look at it, is it not because I let Yue awaken to her bloodline that she ended up like that? Once again, I caused the death of those people near me."
The Gray Figure became quiet, and Wang Ling continued, "If I wake up and live, the ending will the ending be the same. I will live and others would die because of my actions, if Mother, Father, Hong'er, or Xue gets in trouble because of me, I do not think what I would become."
"Young one, you are tens of thousands of years old and you are worrying over the problems of a mortal that had lived for fifteen years? I didn't think that you are that weak, I could let you die here but I can't do that else I will die with you. Listen, child, you are the bearer of the universe's fate. And you cannot die here, if you were to die here, balance will never be achieved and I will be able to get my revenge… sigh, I didn't want to do this but, listen, kid, do you wish for redemption? If yes, just say it and I will give you the chance to get what you want, but in return, you must help me get what I want. But if you don't, both of us will die. So what will it be?"
"What can you give me? Power? That will not bring Yue back."
"But I can bring her back, but the price for doing is going to be sky high."
Wang Ling's weakened soul came alive, "What do you mean? If you can bring her back then just do so, what price is too high for the life of my sister?"
"Does that mean you accept?"
"Yes, I do!" He was resolute.

"Alright then, but the price of this is big and it's…" Wang Ling listened to the gray figure speak and despite the huge 'price' he had to exchange with this being, he still accepted it without any hesitation.
"Alright then, let me borrow your body for three hours! Remember our deal when you wake up. Oh, and to heal your body, you will be sweating a lot later on, but it will be pleasurable so you need not worry over if it will pleasant or unpleasant."
Wang Ling nodded and the Gray figured devour his being…
=====
'Wang Ling' saw their expressions and was angered, "Stop looking at ugh… shit, this body is really dying. Both of you, bring me to the one this body calls little sister, do you want to let her live? Then hurry it up, I do not have much time. Oh, Wang Ling agreed to this, and he said he'll pay for this service so you need not worry over the repercussions."
"Ah, yes." Butler Sun woke up from his stupor and upon hearing the words 'let her live' from the mouth of his First Young Master and he believed him. Though he was still in doubt, Butler Sun wanted to believe his words were true.
'Wang Ling' and Bai Xue was brought to the conquered Xie Clan Manor where Wang Yue was made to lie in a bed. The Shadows who stood outside could hear it, the wails of a grieving mother who had lost her daughter.
By Xiao Fei'er's side was Xiao Jianfa, comforting her as she grieves over Wang Yue's death and her worrying over Wang Ling's safety, "It may be painful but we need to accept this as the truth. When we return, I shall cremate her body with the use of my own Immortal Blaze to give her a proper burial later on. If we do that, she will be able to pass on to the Wheel of Reincarnation with ease."
Xiao Jianfa's words made Xiao Fei'er shed tears even more but deep within she found comfort. Death is indeed inevitable, but she just can't accept the fact that her daughter died even after everything that had happened.
But then, a voice from outside rang, "Cremate her then there will be no hope in saving this lass and I will die with this body. A Low-God should watch his mouth."
"Insolence… you." Xiao Jianfa and Xiao Fei'er turned to see who was the person who insulted him and upon seeing who it was, they became speechless, especially Xiao Fei'er. His new appearance had stricken the two into being dumbstruck, he had not only became a Celestial God in such a short amount of time, but his features had also changed.
The azure and black tattoos that are spread out throughout his entire body was the most noticeable thing.
"Ling'er, do not speak in such a manner. Father is merely stating what is best for your little sister."
'Wang Ling' shook his head and then spoke, "Woman, are you the mother of this host? Then I greet you, the owner of this body is currently sleeping so you need not speak to me as your son, but you should treat me as a stranger, no, because I am here to heal that Holy Race lass, then I am a doctor?"

No one reacted and everyone froze, seeing 'Wang Ling' act like this was truly weird and Xiao Jianfa moved to point his sword at 'Wang Ling' saying, "You vile evil spirit, did you took over the body of my Grandson? Are you a devil?"
"Oh shut up Low-God, you are too young and too weak to raise your voice over me, I am no evil spirit nor am I a devil. I'll go back to my slumber in three hours so do not interrupt me any longer, once the young one (Wang Ling) wakes up. Now move, you will see if I am talking smack in a couple of moments anyway. More importantly, you, Low-God, cleanse the air 2,000 kilometers of us. Get rid of the souls that linger over and once you do, report back to me, and then head to the Earth Domain, there is a Grand Light Phoenix there being fought by an Immortal, I should know because the host has been there already. Take that fox with you and have her devour the blood of the Phoenix. Fox, stop looking so baffled, I'll explain it to you once you return. Low-God, what are you doing? Get a move on."
Although it was the face of his beloved Grandson, Xiao Jianfa had the urge to just beat 'Wang Ling' but Xiao Fei'er by his side said, "Just do what he says, Father. I do not know what is happening but it seems like whatever it is inside Ling'er, he is speaking truthfully."
Xiao Jianfa was reluctant but he followed 'Wang Ling's' instructions. He moved and cleanse the surrounding area of the Domain. No soul of a dead person could be found at a 2,000 kilometers radius and 'Wang Ling' began to move.
Even though it was painful, 'Wang Ling' activated his Holy Lord bloodline, [Lass, you are lucky that not a day had passed. Because if it did, then you would truly have died, let us check your soul. Pure, and intact, seems like the Fake Noble only took your blood as a catalyst to open the Portal to his realm, I don't know who that is but that devil should be one of the unlucky fellow trapped by the Holy Race's seal, and when I sealed the worlds, his minions must have lost the ability to contact him, hahaha, what a riot, that bastard is too unlucky. Wait, I am getting side-tracked here, let's revive this lass then.]
'Wang Ling' brought out the remaining drop of his Holy Lord blood and then, handled it with care. That single drop would bring back this lass so he can't be careless. 'Wang Ling' concentrated and then connected to the world of Chaos to the best of his ability.
But after three attempts of opening the closed world, 'Wang Ling' gave up, [What could have I expected, his Holy Lord bloodline is too far off and is a current state imbalance to connect with it. He is two ranks away to [Royal Holy Lord] as he is only a [Transcendent Holy Lord] so his connection is weaker than normal. Tsk, I didn't want to do it because it was so little but a little setback shouldn't be a problem.]
'Wang Ling' opened up his Spirit Ocean and then delved deep into it. Inside his spirit ocean was Suzhen and deeper into it was a mass of Gray Qi that had entered his system when he was in a berserk mode.
[This should be enough.] Imbuing the holy lord blood with the gray qi, 'Wang Ling' began the process of 'healing' Wang Yue. The heart that had been destroyed and the blood that had dried out of her body was the problem.
The soul remained now the vessel must be repaired. The now grayish golden blood entered the body of Wang Yue and just like when Wang Ling recreated his veins and meridians, 'Wang Ling' repaired everything that had been destroyed but that is not enough to revive a person.
Wang Yue had already died, and death should have taken her away. She can be revived, but doing so needs much more than this.
[This body has thousands of years of lifespan. It is supposed to be impossible to transfer that to another being but Holy Lords control angelic qi, meaning they control their own fate. Using the qi of Chaos as the catalyst and the angelic qi as the purifier, I shall compress this one's lifespan into a single drop and grant you fifteen years to live.]
'Wang Ling' gathered every life essence he had in his body and gradually felt his body weaken. The gray qi pulled everything out that it can out of Wang Ling's body and transferred it to a single point which 'Wang Ling' used to transfer everything to Wang Yue.
A golden light so bright it blinded even Xiao Fei'er and Butler Sun appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Wang Yue's body floated into the air and without anyone knowing, a black mark the shape of a scythe appeared in Wang Ling's heart and then his soul.
[The Mark of the Underworld appeared as expected. Well, with this, he will be forced to move quicker. Sigh, if I just have the previous power I would have to be troubled like this.]
The light subsided and Wang Yue's opened chest disappeared and was replaced by a scar. Her skin was seen as her clothes disappeared from having it ripped apart by the intense qi.
Other than 'Wang Ling' everyone watching was under bated breath, but moments later Wang Yue's eyes twitched and soon opened her eyes.
Wang Yue came alive, but the price would be burdened by Wang Ling.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
