Celestial Peak Chapter 400
Advertisement
It was night, Wang Ling sat atop a rock under the radiance of the moon. At the moment. Other than the Holy Qi his only access for pure spirit qi comes from the two celestials of night and day, the sun and moon.
The Sun was attuned to the yang and the moon to the yin, with Wang Ling's Supreme Yang Holy Qi he should be training during the day, but to Wang Ling training under the moon have more benefits.
The moon's yin qi was not as strong as the Hell Qi, but through it his veins would be able to get use to the flow of Hell.
"Why are you trying to use Hell Qi anyway? I am here, am I not enough? That pretentious brat is not worth our time, you know?" Angle argued.
"Because if we want to defeat the one who betrayed your father, then we'll need the power of the Hell Qi which is in – wait, did you just say it's pretentious? Does that mean it has also come to life?"
"Yes, it was traveling the Universe with me searching for Father. However, that only lasted for five thousand years because it always caused us to go in circles… the brain is not its strength. But if its presence is really necessary then I will not complain." Angle explained to Wang Ling as it ran around the garden.
"I'm just clarifying, but I am not capable of condensing any Chaos Qi because you two are fighting, right?"
"Hmmm? Of course not. My dislike of him has nothing to do with us not mixing well."
"That's good then, I thought I would be made of a fool." Wang Ling heaved a sigh of relief. Aside from the fact that he just learned that the Hell Qi also manifested consciousness of its own, and is still locked within him, he needs the two qis so that he'd be able to rise again.
If he could only just get his Chaos qi back, he'd be able to conquer this world and take its resources for himself. He's very limited at the moment and despite him wanting to go back to the Wang Ling, he also knew of the danger of doing such a foolish act.

The moment his existence was revealed to the world and the Emperor of Death got wind of it, the whole Universe would go into a massive war. If that was to happen there are various ways for Wang Ling to die.
[I can either die under the hands of the demons or be betrayed by weak-willed humanoids.] Wang Ling had lived for thousands of years, in fact, other than the Deities of the Beasts, he's one of the longest living souls.
As a Celestial his lifespan lasted for over 70,000 years, he's experienced in various warfare proven by him always prevailing at his raids of various sects with Bai Xue. He's proficient in killing and reading the moves of others, but not everyone was like him.
Many have weak minds, and even he who had traveled the world for several millennia also experiences heart demons. He will die one way or the other, if does not have the strength to protect himself, he'll end up on the other side of one's blade soon enough.
[The Wang Family's situation is also unknown, after so many generations have, I can't even be sure if they're the same people.]
Wang Ling did not want such a risk going back to the Wang Family, if he was to seek out power, then he'll create one himself.
Under the moonlight Wang Ling continued his cultivation without rest, the Overlord Meridians rejected the flow, but Wang Ling could hardly care. He just bore the pain without making any sound, and throughout the night, he once again failed to rest even a second.
Wang Ling spent the night cultivating and the very next day, after Rea and Ella drew him a bath Wang Ling cleansed his body and mind in the warm bath. He then asked the two waiting for him outside, "What is that I have to do today?"
"A man outside out your doors is kneeling before your doorsteps. He asked us to tell you that he wishes for another duel… we wish to kick him out because we do not know of his identity, but he's too strong for us to handle." Rea reported from outside.

"If I remember correctly, he's someone from the Heaven Hell Sword Tower, he's a man I have beaten last night, ignore him, he's not worth our time."
"I understand, a letter asking for your audience arrived, it appears someone from a major family seeks to make a connection or have the Grandmaster take a child of his under your wings." Ella reported.
"Rejected, relegate the duty to the Lopus Family tell them that I am busy entertaining someone from the Heaven Hell Sword Tower." Wang Ling answered.
"Then, shall I turn the man from the Heaven Hell Sword Tower as a guest? Should I let him in your abode Grandmaster?" Ella followed.
"Huh? Why would you do that? Just use the excuse and keep disregarding that person, he doesn't seem right in the head."
"I understand, then we shall keep his identity as a nuisance, I understand now. But may I suggest that we give him some sort of refreshment like tea? If word got out that we are keeping a Heaven Hell Sword Tower out and disrespecting, the Tower may take offense. I understand that this may make him seem like a proper human being, but it is for the best of the Grandmaster's reputation." Rea said.
"I agree with Rea, Grandmaster. You wish for us to become a righteous powerhouse, correct? Then I would like to suggest the same thing." Ella added.
"I see your point, then after an hour one of you bring him tea… oh yeah, how is the thing regarding the matter of the slave trades in this region?" Wang Ling asked as the water overflowed while he got out of the bath.
He wiped himself to the sound of the two servant's reports.
"Through the help of the late Third Elder's secret vault of knowledge we confirmed three slave trading going on in three different areas."
"That is good." Wang Ling stepped out of the room with a fresh set of clothes, "Give me a map, I am going to take my leave."
"Then what do we tell the others of your movement? Do we announce that you left for a journey?" Rea asked.
"No, announce that I have gone into seclusion so that no one would know that I went on a journey to destroy Slave Traders. This way I'll have the element of surprise. Then, make a proposition to a person from the Heaven Hell Sword Tower, tell him that if we want to fight again, I will give him a single chance. Tell him that to fight me again, he must complete the condition that I must set… have him wait for my 'exit' from 'seclusion'."
"Why is that, Grandmaster?" Ella could not understand Wang Ling's reasoning.
"It is so that none could make a trouble to the Sect. No one is idiotic enough to make trouble for a person from the Heaven Hell Sword Tower. Oh, I almost forgot, the man from the Great Family, just tell him that I also entered seclusion after an epiphany."
He said this yet Wang Ling was actually using someone he did not even know the name of to his advantage.
"Hooh, that is amazing, Grandmaster."
"I agree, such foresight."
The two servants could not help but praise Wang Ling.
"I don't have to make any preparations other than taking a sword on my way out, so I will be leaving immediately. You two shall continue circulating your qi at night as I taught out you before."
"We understand, Grandmaster."
And so, with two women bowing before him, Wang Ling left after making full use of a man he had never even met before.
And all the while he's taking easy doing all this in some backwater world… the Universe began to move without his knowledge.
Certain news shook the Universe as an announcement was made, "The Wang Family clashed with the White Tiger Clan once more."

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.
