Chapter 34: Determination to get stronger!
Ten days after Wang Ling's bloodline mutation, his everyday activities continued. Right now while the sun was hanging above everyone's head, Wang Ling was inside his room in the mansion cultivating.
On his right hand was the ring he had when Wang Shu Qing brought him to the Piercing Heaven Empire. When he delved into the ring and checked its contents, he found out that its content was untouched.
The treasures he had kept inside was still there. The Magma Flower Seed, Blood Revolution Pill, and the Fiery Devil Flame savage beast core was still inside the storage ring.
"I don't have any spirit stone with me and these things are all low-class cultivation resources but with this these three I should have no problem breaking through middle-sky root stage." Wang Ling mused as he simultaneously took out all three of the treasures.
His cultivation at the moment was at the peak of early-sky root stage. He had reached this stage ten days ago after meditating in the YinYang Spirit Pool. Normally, one has to wait a couple of months to properly strengthen their foundation before breaking through the next level but Wang Ling did not have to do that.
The Overturning Nine Heaven Art gives him a nigh invinsible foundation so he doesn't need to spend a long time reinforcing his foundation. Also, he does not need to meditate for a long time so he can grasp the next level as his experience had long transcended this cultivation phase.
He just need to accumulate enough spirit qi so that he will be able to break through the next level.
"Although cultivating is a continuous accumulation of spirit qi and acquiring knowledge through comprehending the next level. I can skip all that until the day I reach the peak of Celestial Phase."
Concerning his past cultivation realm and comprehensions. Wang Ling's path to the peak of the realm's cultivation is bound to be go smoother when compared to people his age.
Starting with the Magma Flower Seed, Wang Ling gulped down the Magma Flower Seed and the intense heat gave him a feeling of being cooked. Wang Ling's supreme spirit qi and hellish qi was beginning to churn from the influence of the violent qi of the Magma Flower Seed.
He began sweating bullets as he slowly absorbed qi of the Magma Flower Seed. Blazing heat made its way towards every part of his veins and soon reached his spirit ocean and qi pillars.
The roots that was submerged into the spirit ocean greedily absorbed the tyrannical qi from the Magma Flower Seed. Wang Ling initiated his roots and it began smashing towards the barrier of the next level.
This process of slowly assimilating the Magma Flower Seed and him trying to break down the barrier continued. While this continued Wang Ling slowly got used to the tyrannical blaze of the Magma Flower Seed and quickly his roots began to also assimilate the pure essence of Magma Flower Seed's heat.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Kacha!
Because of his continues attempt on breaking the barrier made it brittle and weaker by the second. The sounds of something cracking echoed inside his body and after two hours, cracking sounds were heard.
Bang! Crack!
The barrier was broken and the next realm was reached. Wang Ling had broken through another level right after breaking through sky root stage just ten days prior. Wang Ling took time and got use to his current cultivation level before stopping.
When he opened his eyes, Wang Ling could not help it but sigh in admiration to the Cosmic Foundation he had built. The foundation he had didn't even tremble in the slightest after breaking through the next level so quickly.
"This is something else indeed, if this is the past I would still need at least two months before I can attempt to make a breakthrough to the next level. Cosmic Foundation is really something else."
Wang Ling closed his eyes once again before resuming his cultivation. After breaking through the next level, Wang Ling started using the Blood Revolution Pill to make his blood that had undergone a mutation to start circulating smoother.
Although he bought the Blood Revolution Pill before so he can use it as supplement to increase his chances of mutating his bloodline, it can still be use as nourishment. Wang Ling ingested three of the six Blood Revolution Pill and now his blood flow had improved, albeit slightly.
Even though the Blood Revolution Pill won't increase the purity of his bloodline, Wang Ling still used it because it can improve the circulation of his blood. This might prove to be useful if his bloodline is to be ignited someday.
Wang Ling only stopped using the Blood Revolution Pill after ingesting the fifth pill. After absorbing the fifth pill no more improvement occurred so Wang Ling refrained from ingesting any more that what he need.
After keeping the last of the Blood Revolution Pill. Wang Ling stretched his hands and grabbed the savage beast core. The core was not big nor was it small. It had the size of a slightly large marble.
Wang Ling grasped it with one hand and gazed at the red luster it gave off. The marble-like savage beast core was something rarely seen. If the beast was lower than nascent stage then it is a savage beast. A savage beast usually does not have a core and would only have one once they reach nascent stage.
The core in his hand was the core of Fiery Devil Flame. It was an energy palace stage savage beast that has flames that acts as its fur. It was a beast that was feared by many.
"Refining this core shouldn't be a problem. Although I don't cultivate in any form of beast arts, my body has supreme spirit qi that accommodates any and all form of energy. I can refine this core and in the future, I'll be able to refine the [True Chaos Flame] of the Chaotic Flame Sect."
The Chaotic Flame Sect was a sect that once ruled a great part of the Celestial Spirit Realm. In the old era the realm was divided by different major powers. There were twelve major powers and all of the major powers have different inheritance. The inheritance of the Chaotic Flame Sect was the True Chaos Flame.
He only got this technique after one of the Grand Elders of the Sect died by his hands. At that time he had a conflict with one of the Grand Elders for killing his disciple, so the Grand Elder went down to kill him but in the end, the Grand Elder ended up getting killed by Wang Ling instead.
"The True Chaos Flame is practiced by igniting a Chaos Essence in the Energy Palace. Because of I am still at sky root stage, I am unable to cultivate it. But I should be able to shape my body that can house the True Chaos Flames."
All this time Wang Ling had been using the essence of Magma Flower Seed to make his body slightly more attuned in using flames. Well, that was not entirely true as he was also using it as an item that can help him break through the next level.
Breaking through the next level while adopting for the future cultivation of True Chaos Flame was a win-win situation for Wang Ling. If he can ask Wang Shu Qing for resources that leans on the affinity of flames in the pretext of cultivating his bloodline according to his inherited memory, Wang Ling will be able to greatly benefit from this.
"Having a lot of resources really is much better than braving through dangers to get one."
Holding the savage beast core of the Fiery Devil Flame. He began absorbing the chaotic energy the core held within. A core of a savage beast and spirit beast contains an abundant amount of spirit qi but it was chaotic and harmful for most humans and other race.
Other than beastmen who have an in born affinity with the qi of beasts and other people who cultivates beast techniques, it was unlikely to see anyone else using a beast core directly to cultivate.
Normally, one will go and ask an alchemist to refine the beast core into a pill before ingesting it. If it is use directly, the body will be ravaged by tyrannical qi until your qi pillars crack or crumbles into dust.
However, with Wang Ling's supreme spirit qi that can even subdue the qi of hell, a simple beast qi is not going to cause any trouble. Wang Ling easily assimilated the qi that was inside the core but because what he needed was the essence of the Fiery Devil Flame which was its flames that can increase his affinity to flames.
Wang Ling had to slowly extract the essence from the qi he absorbed. It took him half an hour before he managed to infuse the essence of the Fiery Devil Flame's beast core to his body and spirit qi.
Wang Ling released a breath of air and opened his eyes. He came out of his meditative state and immediately started checking the situation of his body.
At the moment his qi was infused with a slight hint of flames. It was barely discernible but it was there. Wang Ling smiled as he was sure that this will make the path of him cultivating the True Chaos Flame in the future smoother.
Wang Ling looked at the window that was a few meters away from him and saw that the sun was still up on the sky and has yet to set. While observing the outside, Wang Ling felt hunger.
Standing up, he stepped outside of his room.
"Qigang, are you there?" Wang Ling called out and a man clad in a simple black robe appeared. This man was Wang Ling's current protector named Qigang.
He was assigned to him by Wang Shu Qing the day after his arrival. Wang Ling cannot peer into Qigang's cultivation base so he should be stronger than a cultivator at the foundation phase of cultivation.
Although Qigang was young and looked like he was not older than a few years ahead of Wang Ling. His strength was immense. He didn't look older than thirty but he was already so strong.
"Young Master." Qigang bowed respectfully to Wang Ling.
"Get someone to prepare me something to eat. No need for anything extravagant, I only need bread and some soup." Wang Ling ordered Qigang and the other party bowed.
However, Qigang didn't leave immediately as seemed like he wanted to say something.
"What is it?" Wang Ling, of course noticed his strange actions and immediately questioned what he wanted to say.
"The Second Princess of the Empire has come once again. She wishes to speak with you, she is in the front door kneeling. But if the young master does not want to, I will go and have her turn back like before." Qigang said.
Wang Ling rubbed his glabella as he felt a headache starting to form. Sighing, Wang Ling decided to end this matter today.
"No need, just go and prepare my food. Take it to the canopy out back." with that, Wang Ling left for the front door of the mansion.
Opening the door, Wang Ling looked down and saw a beautiful youth silently kneeling on the floor with a determined look in her eyes.
The lady saw the figure coming out of the door and her eyes began to shine. She kowtowed as she said.
"Please, teach me the way of the sword!"
The Second Princess of Piercing Heaven Empire was determined to get accepted.
