《Celestial of the Void》Chapter 20 : Guidance and Realization
Advertisement
Silver sat besides a small table in a spacious courtyard, leisurely drinking his cup of tea. A day after the meeting, the patriarch sent a group of skilled laborers to build a siheyuan styled home on his Eclipse Peak. It took close to a week to finish after he finalized the designs and placement of the new home.
Of course, any addons he wanted will be built by him as he kept the extra building materials in his spatial ring. There were a few things he wanted to build but decided to leave it alone for future uses.
Not many tasks were given to him since Old Yam handled all of the menial stuff since there wasn't much happening in the Undecided Faction. Most of the disciple were either isolated with the experiments or finding their fated field.
The announcement of him becoming a vice faction leader ranged throughout the sect. Many inner and person disciple voice out their displeasure. Yet, they were shut down along with the strong evidence that tied to his reputation.
This really concern him as much but he felt worried about his cultivation. Currently, it was at standstill since there was no void qi to cultivate with. He finally understood why Blacky had been extremely strict with his training.
The amount of void qi he need was far greater than he initially thought. Only the Isle of Wisdom contained an abundance of void qi. It seemed he needed to take another trip to the isle. Hopefully Blacky would be able to give him an array that could quickly gather void qi and keep it from seeping out.
From what he also gathered from the [Chaotic Void Skill], was that only a true void constitution can absorb and refine the void qi with ease. He definitely had to find a way to reform his body into a vessel than can easily cultivate void qi.
Luckily, his medallion came in time. If not, he would be studying all the books he memorized from the library to create a heaven-grade array that can gather void qi. Standing up, drooping his shoulder in reclunctance, he decided to go see Blacky again.
Circulating his qi, Silver took a step vanishing from the courtyard. After taking a few steps, he was able to reach the edge of a great lake. Staring ahead, he could see the Isle of Wisdom shrouded in the mysterious fog of void qi.
Silver turned his head to right, sensing a someone's presence nearby.
He could see a young woman standing at a height of 1.7 meters. She had a slender body and fair skin as smooth as jade which were free of impurities.

Matching her slender body was her curvaceous bottom that complimented the aesthetically pleasing plump thighs outlined from her inner disciple clothing. Her face was covered with a see through red veil, but you can instantly tell she was a heavenly beauty.
She appeared as cold and unmatched beauty, unfazed by the world's desire emitting an isolated aura. A heavenly beauty shrouded in mysteries.
But to Silver, he knew the young woman behind the red veil, Jing Shi. Her old man was still trying to play matchmaker between them two. He felt mesmerized as he continue to look at Jing Shi. Not by her astounding beauty but because his heart simply yearned for her.
Suddenly, Jing Shi turned her head to the left. She felt as if someone was watching her. With wide eyes, her cold temperament changed as she showed a warm smile to Silver.
He felt inwardly stunned when the smile appeared. The yearn within his heart became stronger from this point on.
"Hello, vice-leader Silver. Your name has been popping up a lot as of late. What brings you to the Isle Of Wisdom today?," smiled Jing Shi.
The anxious boulder in her heart flew of the cliff when finally saw Silver. She had been waiting this moment for 5 years. Ever since Jing Shi learned the [Glacial Blaze Manual] her cultivation grew in leaps and bounds.
Before her slumber, she already reached Minor Origin. Her talent in cultivation was quite heaven-defying already. During the five years, her father had taught her how and what to do when she was ready to form her mark. With the assistance of the manual, she broke through into the early-stage Martial King after forming her very own king's mark.
But something was different with her king's mark. Instead of the normal single king's mark, she produce a second one when she reach Martial King. Floating beside her complete mark was a blurry mark inside her starry sea.
Unsure of what to do, her father advised that she head out to the Isle Of Wisdom and search for Lord Baruch at the Temple of Knowledge.
Lord Baruch was known to be a heavenly black dragon with vast and ancient knowledge, living through countless of ages or even eras. This being was shrouded in an unfathomable mystery.
Before the creation of White Lotus City, the Isle of Wisdom had always existed but no one except the Floating Cloud Sect knew of this place.
"I'm here to meet Blacky in the Isle of Wisdom. What about you, Jing Shi ?" Silver gently answered.
He felt at ease and comfortable when he stood next to Jing Shi. It had been a rough month since he came out of seclusion, so this was a first for him.

"Blacky?" puzzled Jing Shi while furrowing her eyebrows.
She didn't know the dragon as well as Silver did, unsure how to reply to such a casual remark.
"Oh I forgot. That's a nickname I gave to him when I was in the Isle of Wisdom for 5 years. It should be Lord Baruch, Guardian of the Isle Of Wisdom," Silver explained as he made a villainous smirk.
"Alright since we're both here, let's fly together. Are you fine with that?"
"Yes," nodded Jing Shi brightly smiling unaware of the villainous smirk he made.
She really needed some guidance from Silver too, since he gifted her the [Glacial Blaze Manual]. Hopefully, She would receive advices from Lord Baruch when they venture through the isle.
Activating their medallions, a small entrance appeared in the barrier, allowing them access into the isle. Landing on the lush, green grass, they made their way towards the library in hopes that Lord Baruch would answer their queries.
Arriving closer to their destination through the dense forest, a black and lustrous scaled dragon appeared as it exited the void. It gazed at them with a hint of curiosity and knowing.
"Brat, why do you return so quickly? Have you stumble over a pebble while cultivating? It's quite rare for you to have such a puzzling expression," Blacky spoke with an intimidating voice releasing his grand and majestic aura.
"And daughter of the sect's guardian, what matters do have to come to the library? Hmm, it seems like you have quite the unique constitution. Interesting. . . A body complementing both ice and fire. Oh? You have two kings mark?
It's been such a long time since I seen something this rare. Head forth into the library, the answer you seek will appear before you. Go. I have much to speak about with this young brat besides you."
Jing Shi woke up from her momentary awe, nodding her head quickly. She turned to Silver and gave him a respectful bow and headed into the library.
Once she entered, only the black dragon and Silver were left alone.
"What do you need, brat?" Blacky asked annoyed losing all of the intimidation he had after sending Jing Shi away.
He could be himself around the young man without any repercussion, as they spent man-5 years together. During that time, they built quite a solid friendship.
"I'm hoping you have a void qi gathering array that I can use for my Eclipse Peak. Without a true void constitution, it's hard to cultivate the void qi. This also includes the absence in void qi too. Such a severe issue that's hindering my path of cultivation," nagged Silver.
He felt somewhat interested when Blacky mention that Jing Shi had two kings mark instead of one but it wasn't an issue that concerned him.
"Based on my [Chaotic Void Skill], to obtain a true void constitution I must be reborn within the flames that can burn in the void and ice that can't be melted by that said flames. Do you know of a place?"
"Let's make a deal, if you can learn this void qi gathering array within 3 days time, I will tell you how to transform your body to a true void constitution," replied Blacky.
He knew that this would happen sooner or later, so he was already prepared.
"Alright, show me the formula, I'm sure I can comprehend it," Silver replied as his blood began to boil with the challenge.
Because his mind was always about cultivating, he never noticed how quickly Blacky had answered him.
With such a good deal, he grasped the chance the moment it came. He was an immortal with millions of years of experience born with heaven-defying comprehension skills and a divine grade talent after reforming his body to cultivate more void qi.
With a simple nod, Black inwardly laughing sinisterly as he pointed his huge claw to Silver's forehead. Floods of information transferred into Silver's brain, permanently embedding itself into his mental library.
After taking in the information, he sat down in a lotus position immersing himself within the formula.
'I hope you understand the complexity of this array. It took me several million years to create and hundreds of years of adjustments after experimenting and comprehending multiple universal laws to completely perfect it,' Blacky inwardly thought staring at the Silver, silently comprehending the array.
Blacky then turned his head and took a glimpse at the library, audibly sighing. He flew forward, instantly returning into the void.
From here, this was all Blacky could do for both Jing Shi and Silver.
...
Deep within the Floating Cloud Sect, in the Divination Faction Leader's abode. A startled old man quickly got up and stared up into the night sky.
"A new fate star is about to be born . . ." Starfinder mumbled.
"Our world's will is slowly awakening, but a catastrophic war is nearing.
Will we be able to fight them and win?
How will this new star fair?
Are they one us or a part of the calamity too?"
