Celestial Peak

He thought his plan was going to be flawless, but it would seem that not everything is working out for him without any unforeseen challenge. But w.a.n.g Ling cannot do anything, he could only run away, thankfully the pa.s.sage he was in was rather small so the idol cannot move as fast but it was still fast.

With the body of the idol blocking the path behind, w.a.n.g Ling can only run forward, he must have taken the wrong turn as he was now stuck in a never long straight pa.s.sage without an exit in sight.

"So, is this your glorious plan? If it is, I am so impressed." The Gray Figure sounded condescending as he laughed at the awkward situation he and his successor are currently is in.

"Do you have a plan then? If you do, then I am all ears." w.a.n.g Ling can continue this cat and mouse with the Idol forever, but this path will eventually end, and once it does, and he either ends up in a dead-end or an open area, his ending will only be death.

The Gray Figure laughed at the sight of w.a.n.g Ling but indeed, it does have a plan, "I do and it involves you taking a risk but it will still end up in us surviving this one, are you in?"

"Just tell me what it is and I will do it, stop acting like that!" w.a.n.g Ling complained and the Gray Figure proceeded on letting w.a.n.g Ling know of his plans.

After listening to the plans of the Gray Figure, w.a.n.g Ling became silent and agreed to do what he must and so, they decided to go with the plan of the Gray Figure. The chances of it succeeding is rather low, but they were confident.

"I can feel it, seven more seconds and we will be able to get out of this pa.s.sage. Get ready, there is an open area after this one, stick to my plan, got it!?" The Gray Figure reminded; though it was unneeded. w.a.n.g Ling was already focused.

"Sure!"

w.a.n.g Ling run and run until finally, just like the Gray Figure said they reached an open area. And soon after w.a.n.g Ling escaped that pa.s.sage he flew up to the sky and he opened his Ocean"s Lull to its fullest. A five hundred-meter circular area with him as the center emerged.

He brought out a spear and then gathered his chaos to the tip of the spear. Slowly, he gathered them and when the idol finally came out of the room, w.a.n.g Ling"s eyes turned red as he threw the spear to the idol that had just burst out of the pa.s.sageway.

Fwu! The spear traveled like lighting and descended as fiercely as so. It lacerated the wind but not the idol, it simply swats the spear-like it was nothing.

w.a.n.g Ling knew it would happen like that but he did not care, the spear that was flung away was caught by him and once again threw it as he twisted his body along with it.

The spear was once again thrown and w.a.n.g Ling kicked the air as he dove straight down. His senses got a full grasp of the idol and w.a.n.g Ling found its structure to be interesting. It was shaped as a giant human and as it swats the spear for the second time w.a.n.g Ling aimed for its nape.

Of course, the idol retaliated with a punch. But as it was nothing but a lifeless doll, w.a.n.g Ling managed to get a grasp of its movement with his Ocean"s Lull, the way it telegraphed its punch entered his sight without missing anything and as he twisted his body, w.a.n.g Ling dodged the strike quite nicely.

He stepped on the face of the idol and without missing a beat he used the Reaper that had been laced by his Chaos Qi to stab the nape of the hulking idol. As his sword pierced its hard sh.e.l.l a force tried to repel his blade but w.a.n.g Ling stuck to what he was doing didn"t budge at all.

The Idol panicked and tried throwing w.a.n.g Ling off its body and grabbed his body and pulled him away from its nape he grabbed the head of the idol with a vise-like grip and did not let go no matter what happened.

w.a.n.g Ling felt his body getting ripped, his clothes was destroyed with the death grip of the idol but as w.a.n.g Ling endured his strength exploded and with a burst of power he managed to pull through and drive the sword to the depths of its nape.

Boom!

A wave of blue qi swept the area and w.a.n.g Ling was grabbed his sword hilt tightly in order to not get blown away. The wave lasted for only a mere moment but it was strong enough to wither w.a.n.g Ling"s Qi reserves.

The idol fell to his knees and then eventually dropped to the ground. w.a.n.g Ling did not expect to be so tired over the events that he had just been in and fell to one knee. The Heaven"s Wrath he sent to pierce the thigh of the Young Immortal was taxing as to form a strong arrow that can injure someone at that level was not some to be done so simply.

But w.a.n.g Ling cannot spend too much time resting here. He just brought out ten thousand meteor stones to replenish what he had lost. The qi reserves in w.a.n.g Ling"s body was painfully big, it was something a seventh meridian Immortal possesses so regenerating that much qi takes a lot of resources. The density and amount of his qi are terrifyingly big.

It grants him immense strength but breaking through is also multiple times harder than it should be. Even with w.a.n.g Ling"s multiple abilities to gather qi, it takes time and a large amount of resources for him to reach the next level.

Using Yan Renhuo as a measurement, what she needs to reach the eight meridians is what w.a.n.g Ling needs to reach the fourth meridian. It is simply astounding how much qi he needs.

With that in mind, w.a.n.g Ling cannot stop here. He had collected a variety of spirit plants and Nebular Pills but that will eventually run out given enough time. He has the black box but that will also disappear once w.a.n.g Ling uses it.

He needs more resources so he"ll be able to reach the next meridian faster and only then will he be able to get out of here. As he slowly began his recuperation, w.a.n.g Ling had enough time to check the contents of the black box.

He tried opening the black box only to fail, he remembered something and then poured Chaos Qi on the black box, with a clink* sound the black box showed signs of opening.

Opening the black box a chilly and dangerous qi escaped the box and in a hurry, w.a.n.g Ling closed the box. He checked his surroundings and then in a hurry he collected the qi that escaped the box in a hurry.

He cracked a smile right after collecting the qi that escaped the box, he hurriedly kept the box away and exhaled, "I didn"t think I will find Devil"s Blood this really is a treasure, for me at least."

After that, w.a.n.g Ling focused on healing his body putting the thoughts for later.

w.a.n.g Ling stood up from the ground half an hour later, he then found the silence of the Gray Figure to be weird so before he moved, he wanted to ask what was wrong, but he was stopped.

"Don"t speak to me, I am sensing something. Do not move, also. This one is also a vital ingredient for your improvement…" The Gray Figure said in a hurry. w.a.n.g Ling did not move nor did he say anything and ten minutes later, the Gray Figure finally spoke in a hurry, "My successor, get moving I don"t know if someone else is in there but no matter what happens we must also get this one!"

w.a.n.g Ling nodded his head and without missing a beat he dashed forwards and then sped away to the direction the Gray Figure was instructing.

While w.a.n.g Ling was at it, he asked, "What is it that you picked up?!"

The Gray Figure swallowed gathered itself as it took in deep breathes before it spoke, "It"s the body of a G.o.d!"
