Celestial Peak 100 Untapped Potential I

 +

The idea of everyone coexisting in a peaceful manner where no fights was present was nothing but wishful thinking. Fights and killings cannot be changed, and to those who believed that peace will come, just look at the story that Wang Ling had just told Bai Xue.

If the utopian society of that ancient emperor came into full view. Then it wouldn't have perished and Wang Ling's era wouldn't have risen. In the end, that era was destroyed and replaced.

The idea of utopia was endearing, but it can never come to pass. Why? Because no matter what race or what species you belong in. Only by stepping in the corpses of other people will you rise.

Wang Ling and Bai Xue became silent as they watched the scene of beasts and other races mingle with one another. They knew that someday, many of them will die, it might be in hands of spirit beasts or their fellowmen, but death will surely come to them one day. It may even come by the hands of Wang Ling or Bai Xue.

"Let's enter already. I want to drink some wine after thinking about complicated matters. Stock up on wine once more, we have nothing left in stock now!" Bai Xue demanded and Wang Ling nodded his head as he too wanted wine.

He entered the border town city and oddly enough, there was no guard posted in front of town gates. They entered without any problems and Wang Ling we find a restaurant where good wine can be found.

They found a place called Deserto Restaurant and entered. They called for a waiter and had him take the two of them to the second floor. Wang Ling was presented with a menu and seeing the price, Wang Ling found no problem with them and ordered everything that caught his eyes.

He also ordered 5 jugs of wine. A single jug of wine costs 50 stellar stones, which was pricey. But as the wine named [Oasis] was advertised as being one of a kind and wonderful, Wang Ling decided to buy some to try it out.

As the two of them waited, they talked but most importantly, they eavesdropped in the conversations of the other customers. There were many conversation topics around. But the one that caught Wang Ling's attention was about the matter of the Xie Clan.

"Did you hear? The fallen Second Master Xie Wu of the Xie Family has been quickly rising in strength. I heard that his Saint Soul was destroyed but has been reconstructed soon after his return."

"Oh, I heard that too! But did you hear? The new Saint Soul he created is even more powerful this time in terms of power. He called upon a tribulation to refine his Saint Soul and the devilish aura of the Xie Clan manor had that day was simply too immense that those present in the Xie Clan Territory was oppressed that they had to kneel before Xie Wu."

"Haha, it had been decades since any news of the Xie Wu spread. So, what do you think? If he regains his strength, do you think he will challenge the Peerless Spear Celestial?"

"Hmm, that's a tough question. If Xie Wu is to reach his former state, it is already admirable. But fighting the Peerless Spear is not going to happen. After all, it had been decades and although the Peerless Spear had been quiet, I heard he was only meditating on some secluded mountain as he attempted to gain enlightenment to his cultivation path and reach the next realm. But considering Xie Wu, he will still try and fight the Peerless Spear even if it costs him his life."

The food finally came on Bai Xue and Wang Ling's table and as they eavesdropped on the stories around them. Wang Ling found it interesting that someone from the Xie Clan was reaching climbing the cultivation levels from below.

Wang Ling was someone who respected those who never stops on striving for greatness. It seems like Xie Wu was someone like that. However, Wang Ling was sure that Xie Wu would be his enemy as soon as he kills Xie Hai or if Wang Hong kills Xie Hai.

Xie Hai, according to Qigang was one of the greatest geniuses the Xie Clan had produced aside from his older sister. Being a peak Minor Saint at such a young age of 22, Xie Hai was truly a genius amongst genius.

From what he had heard. Xie Hai was also already preparing to break through the next stage of the Saint Phase which was Grand Saint Stage.

However, Wang Ling was not that impressed with Xie Hai's performance. Simply because the younger brother he had was simply too outstanding. Wang Hong was someone who had yet to reach the age of 20 and he was already at the nascent soul stage.

From the looks of it, Wang Hong should already be a Saint by now. He gained a massive boost in cultivation when he obtained the inheritance and legacy of the Nebula Celestial after all.

Finishing the good food that was served to them and drinking almost every jug of wine that was placed on top of their table. Wang Ling and Bai Xue was contented.

They were about to head out but Bai Xue decided to order 100 jugs of wine. Although Bai Xue found the Oasis wine likable as it was light and wasn't so overbearing. It gave the feeling of being in a field with spring wind whistling.

Wang Ling did not go against her idea as he would be leeching off her wine. Wang Ling was tight in terms of stellar stones. Bai Xue, on the other hand, had a lot of stellar stones to spare as she was able to plunder rich young masters when they were in the third examination area.

They left the restaurant with a lot of wine in their possession. The night was upon them so Wang Ling had to look for an inn where they can stay. The Deserto Border Town was extremely large.

It took Wang Ling a few hours before he could find an open inn. The inn he had found was a bit large but it wasn't exactly a problem. As Wang Ling and Bai Xue were outside. Bai Xue observed the way most of the spirit beasts leave the town.

Spirit beasts that had yet to have the ability to change into their human forms choose not to stay in towns. Paying stellar stones to lodge in a room was not something spirit beasts were a fan of.

Wang Ling entered the inn and got a room for him to stay in. Bai Xue was with him throughout and would not leave him as he was her 'bed'. Wang Ling went to cultivate as soon as night fell.

After becoming a nascent soul stage cultivator. Wang Ling barely needed to sleep unless he experiences some kind of battle injury or cultivation deviation. He could cultivate for a year without any food and Wang Ling would be fine.

The supreme spirit qi was something that was considered as the pinnacle of all qi. It was useful in a variety of ways, one of which could support Wang Ling's over-usage of his body.

Entering his cultivation mode. Bai Xue got on top of his lap and began meditating to examine if she can draw anything from her bloodline.

Speaking of bloodlines. Wang Ling had been trying to use the innate ability he had inherited from his new bloodline both in his [True Devil General] bloodline and [Lower Holy Lord].

He had already gained a lot from his first bloodline mutation, he got body modification, a way to hide his wings, bloodline powers, innate techniques that altered his eyes and gave him the Devil's Pupils. It also provided him a movement technique he had mastered to the first level.

[I need to awaken everything that lays dormant within me. I have yet to even explore the innate technique I have inherited from my Lower Holy Lord bloodline.

My body is reaching the limits of refinement yet I have yet to gain the right amount of strength to use my bloodlines. I can't have that, I need to unlock every potential this body of mine contains!]

Although his experience, cultivation techniques, and even willpower was top notched. However, even with all that he still couldn't keep up with his advancement as the latent potential of his bloodlines and the current body was simply too outstanding.

His foundations was unshakeable. Yet for some reason, he could not even peer into the realm his strength could reach. He was experienced, yes, but his experience does not cover the extent of the higher realms.

Experience as he was in terms of cultivation in the lower realm like the Celestial Spirit Realm. Wang Ling does not have any knowledge of the higher realms which his power supposedly originated from.

[I need to start cultivating it tonight. But after this, I will owe Bai Xue big time.]

Wang Ling showed a wry smile as he delved deep in his mind and located words that was imparted to him by Bai Xue.

These words were cryptic but Wang Ling could read them as Bai Xue had already translated and explained it to him.

[Origin Yin Yang Art!]

Yin Yang Origin Force, the technique given to him by Bai Xue when they left the Ancient Creed Mountain. It was the sole technique he had to exchange with the [Guardian Beast Manifestation Forms] and some more unpaid interest.

The Origin Yin Yang Art was a technique that came from the Heaven Realm where Bai Xue came from. She claimed that she found it in some dilapidated temple called the [Temple of Origin].

Wang Ling had no idea where that was located, but from what he had heard from Bai Xue. She only came across it through sheer chance. The only thing she got from there was this single cultivation manual.

From what Wang Ling had read through. This cultivation technique was something that made him speechless. Just like what Bai Xue had said, this technique was the thing that he was missing and desperately needed.

The Origin Yin Yang Art was a technique that controls the qi of two opposites. It was used to control opposing qi that shouldn't exist in a single body.

Wang Ling could have cultivated this technique when he was in the Thundergod Academy. But chose not to. As for why he did so, it because he was still unsure if he wanted to cultivate this technique.

What if it causes something untold damages with his body? That was going on inside his mind. But after a lot of thinking and deliberating. He finally decided to cultivate it after seeing how fast Bai Xue was improving.

Bai Xue was his partner who will help in most situations. But he also saw her as some sort of ruler that measures his improvement. Bai Xue was already nearing the level-4 nascent soul stage. She was moving too fast.

Wang Ling did not want to be left out and was going to chase after her and surpass her soon enough. The uncertainty that was in her mind had been blown away as soon as he came into terms that he would be left out if he dallies any longer.

Wang Ling wanted to be as strong as Bai Xue and he didn't want to be protected. If he was to be always protected, then Wang Ling feared that someone might leave him once again just like before.

So, he will improve as fast as he could and kill those who want to take something away from him. A single experience was enough.
