Chapter 113 - Heritage II (1/2)
By the time Wang Ling opened his mind, he was already inside the white mindscape where he was subjected to the ringing of the bell. This place was a space inside Wang Ling's mind.
He had found this place a long time ago and this was a perfect place where he could cultivate in peace. This white space was a mysterious place to Wang Ling. There was nothing in there and no matter how long Wang Ling wanders inside it, there was no end to the said space.
It was great wonder and Wang Ling does not know how it was created without his knowledge. Well, he does not know how exactly the lineage of the [Holy Lords] fell to his hands so thinking about how the mindscape was created was nothing but a useless attempt to try and unravel a mystery that he can't understand. Maybe in the future when he manages to unlock more of the halos, he will be able to understand it a bit more. But for now, it would be best to just leave the idea be.
Wang Ling was in this mind to do one thing. That was to get his hands on the heritage of the [Lower Holy Lord], the lowest rank in the Holy Lord Race.
Wang Ling had inherited a lot of things from the bloodline of the Holy Lord Race. One would be the angelic qi and the Halo of Heaven that could enhance his strength when activated.
But just like his True Devil bloodline, his Holy Lord bloodline had its own heritage to be passed down. The only difference was, the bloodline that will be passed down greatly augments the body and the halo itself.
Wang Ling will need to open up a path to the Heaven Realm and connect his halo to its very depths. He needs to open up a path to tread one. Wang Ling had tried to open a path to the Heaven Realm, but every time he does so, he fails.
Because the path can only be open with his soul and angelic qi, Wang Ling always faces danger when he attempts to open a path. At one point, he almost died because he was too reckless with the [Trial] of the Holy Lord bloodline.
It was a pain in the ass, yes. But Wang Ling did not care because he knew the benefit was worth the risk. Wang Ling took a deep breath and activated his bloodline. A halo appeared on his back, but that was only the case for his projection in the mindscape.
His physical body did not summon the halo to appear.
Deng!
With the halo appearing on the back of his projected self, a bell rung out and made his soul tremble. It was the bell that was from someplace Wang Ling did not know about initiating the sounding of the bell.
However, the sound was slightly different than before. The effect on his soul was still the same but its sound was different. The sound of the bell that tried to test his soul was *Dong, as this one was more like Deng*.
The sound didn't matter as the effects were practically the same. Wang Ling could still feel his soul being torn apart but he just greeted his teeth as the bell continued to sound out.
Wang Ling stood his ground while his soul trembled. He directed his spirit qi to his halo and began the process of opening the said path. Using his halo as the medium, Wang Ling's consciousness delved deep into it and tried connecting a path to the Heaven Realm.
The halo on the back of his head shone resplendently and angelic qi gathered from all corners of the mindscape. A streak of blood appeared on Wang Ling lips but he did not do anything other than sitting cross-legged.
He dropped on the ground and began a chant. It was a chant he received from his bloodline. There were only five syllables needed to be uttered, ”Gi, Du, Jing, Fwi, Jol” those words were as foreign to Wang Ling as to anyone else.
Even Bai Xue did not know of any language like that when he asked her.
”Gi!”
Wang Ling started to speak and his angelic qi trembled with excitement. It became more energetic and Wang Ling began to experience a similar feeling to qi deviation.
But other than pain, Wang Ling knew the qi deviating from its path was not going to harm him in any way.
”Du!”
Wang Ling uttered the second syllable and this time, the bell sounded out louder than before and his halo moved. What used to be the immovable halo appeared in front of Wang Ling and quietly floated in front of him.
”Jing!”
