Chapter 462 - Barrier (1/2)
Atop the Red Peak Mountain, there was only Wang Ling. He was seated before the tree, silent, with a smile, the softest he had shown in this life. He was at peace, reminiscing about the past he had spent with the first family who accepted him.
Pleasant and peaceful, it had been a long time since he felt this way when remembering them. The tragedy of the past scarred him, but… he once again found his peace.
”We should leave him be, for the time being,” Qinyang said as she stepped away from Wang Ling. The others did not say anything, for they could see that his emotions at a state of tranquility, his usual edge dissipated.
The other five moved to leave Wang Ling be.
”So, he had a Master?” Chang Ping quietly looked back at Wang Ling, ”I thought he was nothing but a prodigy? I thought it was self-thought… I knew Master had secrets, but, I think he's even more of a—”
Chang Ping stopped, remembering the name Wang Ling used before, ”Wang Wudi… hahahaha… so it was like that?” Chang Ping laughed as she realized something so obvious.
All the while Chang Ping was busily connecting the dots, and Roan was sleeping off the hangover, the three Deities were looking around.
”This place hasn't changed a bit, and it seems the formation reacted to Wang Ling without a problem.” Yuan Qing commented as she remembered reading about this place before.
”I agree, though we're lucky, for us to enter this place without being torn to shreds is quite possibly the best thing Wang Ling had done for us.” Yuan Ming stated.
”Wait, what do you both mean by lucky of not being torn apart?” Chang Ping who overhead their conversation asked with cold sweat already forming on her back.
The twins looked at Chang Ping then at each other. They contemplated if they were allowed to speak of the matter…
”It is not a problem, you two. We're already here.” Qinyang urged the twins.
The twins finally gained the answer they wanted, ”Okay, to answer you question, this place is a special location to the Mother as this was given to her by the Wang Family who ruled over the Frost Domain. This place, according to legend was something the All-Father cherished for something, which we now know because this seems to be the resting place of his Master and fellow disciples.
”When the Mother gained this place, she stayed here for three years, which, you would know as the time she spent time grieving for her beloved's death. She stayed here, watching over the stars, protecting it, fed it with her own qi, allowing it to grow.
”Eventually, however, she knew she had to move on and left. But, fearing the invasion of others, however, the Mother decided to place a barrier. This barrier could only be entered by her and the All-Father, thus, she used an item deeply related to the All-Father as an anchor and judge on who could enter it. If this judge does not react to you, then you will die, this barrier will only disappear once the All-Father enters the barrier.”
The twins' very long explanation finally ended and by the end of it, Chang Ping and the others were all glad that Wang Ling was the first to step into the lands of Mountain. They finally calmed down.
But, Chang Ping had one last question, ”What is the item the Mother of Beast, used?”
