Celestial Peak

Wang Ling was watching Zou Jianhong and Zheng Zan was argue over what academy would best for him to enter. Zou Jianhong was rather passive but overwhelmingly stubborn while Zheng Zan was rowdy and was looking more unbecoming by the minute.

While the two were fighting over, Wang Ling saw that it was escalating and a fight might ensue so he stepped forward and interjected.

"Seniors, please stop fighting, it is heartbreaking to see people of your statuses fight over such an insignificant figure such as myself makes the both of you so agitated."

Upon hearing Wang Ling's words that were bordering informative and ridicule made the two seniors back down. This sight made Wang Ling sigh in relief. If the two forces fought over him, then some irreconcilable grudge might just happen.

If that happens, then his plans would go to shit. He can't conquer everything with strength, sometimes, your intellect comes into play. If you play your cards right and manipulate things well, then everything will fall into place without much effort.

That was Wang Ling's mindset. Although his plan hasn't sprouted any fruits for him to harvest. He was pretty much setting up its foundation where he will plant its seed for it to take root.

In time, it will sprout and by the time it does, he would be sitting on top of everything and everyone. Well, his plans do have some problems though.

Releasing a much-saddened sigh, Wang Ling continued to speak with the two seniors, "Senior Zheng Zan, I apologize for it but I cannot enter Heaven's Will Academy as I have already decided to enter Thundergod's Academy even before I entered Piercing Heaven Academy.

"My father will also not let me enter any other academy, and please don't speak any matter about convincing him as my father will not allow me to do so. But if you would allow me, I wish to visit your Heaven's Will Academy, I am searching for something that connects to my bloodline and I think that it is inside your Academy where the faith towards heaven is strongest amongst the seven great academies."

Wang Ling smiled at them as if he was a genuinely good person that caused the two seniors to forget about his previous show of being a god of war. Not that they were stupid, it was just that Wang Ling's performance was simply too good.

Even Bai Xue who was riding by his shoulder was trembling from having her laughter stiffened. If she had not met Wang Ling before, she might think of him as some kind of 'Saint'.

Zheng Zan was reluctant but accepted still accepted the words uttered by Wang Ling. He wanted to haggle with this 'divine' being to the point of wanting to aim. But the instant he had some sort of malicious intent reflect from his eyes, Qigang pressured him so much that the thought of moving against Wang Ling disappeared almost instantly.

Zheng Zan might be a Saint, but Qigang was far stronger than he was. Zheng Zan had to step back. It was clear that Qigang was ready to kill if he tries anything funny.

But at least he learned something really important. Wang Ling's background was not as simple as he would think. Pulling him over towards them with promises wouldn't be so easy.

Zheng Zan lowered his head and said, "I understand, I apologize for showing you such an unsightly sight. But I shall take your word of wanting to visit our Heaven's Will Academy as true. The gates of the academy are going to be open for you, Brother Wang Ling."

Zou Jianghong heard Zheng Zan's words and smirked victoriously.

"Heh, I thought you were only a show-off with an above strength, but it seems like I have seen wrongly. Brother Wang Ling, you have earned my approval." Zou Jianhong said no more but decided to reward those 'manly' words of his soon.

"Thank you for understanding, Senior Zou Jianhong, Senior Zheng Zan."

"Hahaha, just call me Brother Zou, it sounds weird being called as a senior when I refer to you as a brother." Zou Jianghong said with a gleeful laugh.

"That goes the same with me, just call me Brother Zheng or Brother Zheng Zan."

"I understand, Brother Zou, Brother Zheng." Wang Ling said with a bow. He was smiling wide inside his heart.

"Brother Zou, Brother Zheng, I will bid you farewell here as I still need to recuperate. The Minor Tribulation had caused me to have some internal injuries, so, if you would excuse me."

Wang Ling bowed and left. But as Zheng Zan and Zou Jianhong have no other need to reach the peak of the Ancient Creed Mountain. The two of them left. Zou Jianhong left through the skies as he flew away. While Zheng Zan and his fellow students followed closely behind Wang Ling.

Qigang asked them why they were following them, Zheng Zan simply answered with, "I wanted to take a walk."

Which made Qigang irritated. In fear of Zheng Zan doing something, Qigang made sure to keep him at a certain distance. Where he will be able to kill Zhang Zan if he dares attempts anything.

Wang Ling was aware of what was happening around him, but he just laughed it off. They continued to walk and they soon encountered a lot more people.

Wang Ling was using his spirit sense so his senses were never lax. While walking, his senses picked up killing intent looking at him from afar. He sneakily turned he caught sight of a devil cultivator who entered the Mini World with Master Black.

After seeing that man, he just shook his head but did nothing. Those people from the devil cult were too loyal to Master Black. Even if he abducts them, they wouldn't talk.

He didn't want to kill them either, it will just leave a bad taste in his mouth. It was a shame that Master Black was nowhere to be found. If he could've just been here, then Qigang could've killed him and any future troubles could be avoided.

It wasn't the last time he would see Master Black. Why? Because Master Black had the inheritance of a True Devil King. Wang Ling wanted that inheritance for himself.

Aside from the fact that he will hunt down Master Black in the future. Master Black should be gunning to kill him now that he showed his true colors. After all, no devil would be sitting quietly now, after a member from the opposing race had appeared.

He was also sure that he will become an enemy for most devil cultivators. But that wouldn't be a problem, his agenda encompasses that point too.

Although he didn't want to attract any enemies. If Master Black was that enemy, then it wouldn't be that much of a problem.

Wang Ling saw more of the seven great academies. All of them showed the same reaction when they saw Wang Ling together with Zheng Zan. They confirmed that Wang Ling was the one who caused that phenomenon.

Although some gave them a bad look, many still smiled at him. However, he didn't care about these people. They were not worth his time and they looked uninteresting. They showed no particular trait that can be easily remembered.

Wang Ling was bored as he went down. Although he received hateful glares that were filled with killing intent. He just shrugged it off with a yawn. It was Bai Xue who was angered and killed some devil cultivators for a short while.

By the time she came back, Bai Xue had already killed every devil cultivator that was below level-4 of the nascent soul stage in a very silent and unnoticeable manner.

The last academy they saw was Ancient Scripture Academy who had Yan Renhuo and the graceful lady leading the group. When Yan Renhuo saw him, her surprise was no less than the rest of the academies.

Her surprise was even more compared to the rest of the academies. Yan Renhuo ran up to him as she questioned.

"So this is what you have planned? I thought you were being secretive, but with your actions today, you were high profile. So, are you someone from the Heaven Realm?" Yan Renhuo was enthusiastic as she questioned.

She had always been someone curious and unbridled. Qigang wanted to step up between Wang Ling and Yan Renhuo but Wang Ling stopped him from doing so telling him that he knew her.

Smiling, he answered, "I didn't mean to be so flashy, I wasn't expecting anything a Minor Tribulation to befall me anyway. Also, I am not from Heaven Realm, just someone from a lowly backwater Kingdom that is too far away from the central regions for anyone to care."

Yan Renhuo laughed at his response without a care for her image. Wang Ling just looked at her with interest in his eyes. It would seem that the fear she had for Qigang had long vanished.

Wang Ling was well aware of Qigang giving Yan Renhuo quite a fright back then. And it would seem that she had already gotten over her fears. How did he know? Simple, Yan Renhuo reflected no fear in both her actions and eyes even when Qigang was there behind him.

This gave Wang Ling an even better impression of her. She might just become his Alchemist in the future.

As for why Yan Renhuo just laughed, it was clear that she did not believe Wang Ling's words. It was clear to Wang Ling that Yan Renhuo should have gone and had his identities check for someone she considered as a dao companion candidate.

She should be already aware that his father is Wang Shu Qing, someone from the Wang family that seems to strike fear in the hearts of many. His identity wasn't a secret, before long, people would start to know who he was.

It could be through them investigating him or him announcing his identity without care. The point was, Wang Ling had nothing to hide. If other people know he was someone from the Wang family, then he would have protection to some degree. It will become really useful for future travel in the central region.

Unlike in the past when the graceful senior would do everything on her powers to do keep Wang Ling and Yan Renhuo away, she was rather quiet today. She seemed to be approving of Wang Ling's presence and identity.

Wang Ling went down the mountain with Yan Renhuo and the rest. After coming down, they talked for a while but soon separated. Wang Ling requested the separation as he needs to rest.

They went to find an inn and before noon, Wang Ling was already inside a room and was already cultivating.

Right now, he was suppressing his hellish qi and was only using angelic qi that had the essence of regeneration circulate. He had to ask for some leftover resources from Bai Xue to heal himself.

It wasn't so hard to ask Bai Xue for some resources and Wang Ling was quickly recuperating. His wounds were mostly internal and would usually take five days to a full week to heal, but with his full blast of circulating angelic qi and some more resources that enhanced vitality. Wang Ling managed to recover faster than he had thought.

His wounds had recovered but the fatigue over his body had yet to fully recover. By the time he finished healing, the fatigue over his body that had accumulated. All surfaced and made him bedridden.

The toll he got from igniting both his bloodlines at full blast at the same time resulted in him being unable to move. The only reason why he managed to walk down the mountain a couple of days ago was because of the adrenalin flowing in his veins and the very little power that remained after his bloodline activation and breakthrough.

Wang Ling was lucky that he didn't make a fool of himself when he walked down the mountain. After all, he wanted to show that he was capable if he had suddenly collapsed. His plans would have to be altered.

Qigang came to know of this and he immediately bought medicine from the biggest auction house nearby. He fed it to Wang Ling to hasten his recovery.

Wang Ling began to recover and time flowed quickly and before he knew, the time for the examinations has arrived. It was early in the morning and the sun has yet to rise.

With his body still hurting and only having the ability to move around like normal people. Wang Ling lost the ability to fight. But he had no intention of missing this day and ending up forced to enter Heaven's Will Academy.

He asked Qigang to go ahead of him and ask for the academy to wait for his return. Wang Ling urged Bai Xue to move so the two of them can leave already.

Bai Xue assisted Wang Ling and the two of them left the city. By the time they did so, the sun was already shining from above.

Bai Xue then carried Wang Ling on her back as she changed into her Phoenix form after finding and an area where no one could see her change form.

Wang Ling was about to return. In a not so gallant manner.
