Chapter 219: Second to Third Ignition
With the passage of time, only five days remained before the Ten Year Bout. Wang Ling stayed underneath the waterfall with his mind free of any worries or problems.
As he closed his eyes the water aggressive fell upon his naked body and slowly tempered it. Every time water touches his skin, its temperature would rise. The heating from his body was too intense that the stream of water was beginning to increase in temperature.
His body and me was too hot and it was just the beginning. As white mes escaped from his body starting from his fingertips all the way to his hair, Wang Ling began to create steam and soon turned to mist.
Mist covered his surroundings and the entirety of the river, from inside the mist was a flickering white light that exuded holiness. It was powerful and purifying, it carried a kind of s strength unique to it.
The flickering light began to wave, the me was increasing its temperature and its incorporeal self was beginning to take shape. A long body that slithers across his toned and well-developed muscles, a white snake made of pure mes slithered and revealed a part of its tongue.
The me had taken shape to that of a snake that was merely the size of a few inches. No longer than a forearm and no thicker than his wrist. It wrapped itself around Wang Ling''s wrist and soon a jolt attacked his mind.
[It ising, the third ignition.] Wang Ling was only trying to start the second ignition which is to create an ''avatar'' that represents his mes. The snake was the shape it had taken shape even before he knew what was going on.
However, he could notpletely turn the Heavenly me into a snake. Something was hindering his progress and that barrier was the third ignition.
The True Chaos mes he used to base the True Heavenly mes had known five ignitions. The first ignition is meant to let the fire rage and show its form to the world. The second ignition was meant to exhibit the control of the cultivator with his me by forming it to a shape he or she can manipte freely.
The True Chaos mes was a technique of his era, but its origins stretch back to the previous eras to the point it was hard to point out. Thest Grandmaster who achieved the third ignition were merely three and the power of the third ignition was something even the great Blood Seeking Celestial had to be careful of.
If the second form was to make it take form, hence the name Avatar Creation. The third was something else that defied the naturalws of nature. The third ignition was a phase that ''breathes life'' or forms a link to the mes so he can control it which exins its name, Ascendance or Transcendence.
The Third Ignition had many more names but the term Ascendance or Transcendence stuck around more so than any of the names that had to be.
Normally, ascendance only happens when the mes reach its maximum temperature or had reached a kind of temperature that could burn the entire continent. The Heavenly mes had long reached such a degree.
But he did not think the second requisite had been met without his knowledge which was deepprehension of his own mes.
He did not know he knew more about the white mes than what he had reckoned, but he was not so surprised. After all, the Holy Lord bloodlinemands the elements and the me was no different.
Aside from its counterpart, the Hell mes. He could control most mes to a degree. And so, with his attempt to undergo the second ignition his qi unknowingly flowed at a direction that dictates when he should undergo the third ignition.
He had been concentrating for the past week and right now was at the perfect time toplete the process of making his True Heavenly mes be something else entirely.
And so, he gathered his qi and mes inside his energy pce where the core of the mes was. He set the core of the Heavenly mes aze and then slowly transformed it to a snake that is the same size as his Saint Soul.
A giant snake was beginning to form and as itpleted its form. The white snake had its head directed at the incorporeal self of Wang Ling. The me had no life and only its form was there.
With that said, Wang Ling carefully drew out the core from his energy pce and then had it circte around his meridians where he let the white snake revolve around his meridians sixty-nine times.
The first cirction must consist of sixty-nine revolutions toplete the sixty-nine cycles of the me''s life. From the records of the True Chaos mes, the revolution of the mes will dye his meridians with the color of the mes and let it recognize the form of the me.
The meridians would be one of the dwelling ces of the mes in the near future, a path must be made for the snake to move into. With that said, Wang Ling recalled the white snake and had it dive into the water of the Spirit Ocean where his qi was the densest.
The white snake became a serpent of the Spirit Ocean and began absorbing the qi of the Spirit Ocean. A grand expenditure of qi surfaced and his qi began to sap away at a terrifying rate.
Wang Ling''s qi was dense and pure, but it was nothing in the face of the white serpent''s greed. With a motion, his bloodline was activated to supplement therge expenditure of qi.
But it only took him a few seconds to realize that something was wrong.
[The absorption of the serpent is too strong, I can''t keep up with it!] He was rmed, for the longest time his qi had never seen the bottom of his qi pirs.
But right now, a single serpent was trying to empty him. Not only that, but his life was also in danger.
[If my qi can''t keep up then this serpent will surely go for my blood essence or worst my life essence might be sucked out of my body.
This me has yet to have a proper connection with me, so it has no idea what is doing.]
He was in a bind, he knew that he was in trouble. Soon, the mes was bing more and more violent that his body had been tempered for years with the most ravenous mes which is the Hell mes.
But at this moment, the increasing heat of his own mes was taking over him and was destroying him from the inside. The more he loses qi, the more he loses control of the mes.
Once he runs out of qi, he will die from not only running dry but also turning into charcoal.
So, without missing a beat he opened his eyes and then brought out his storage ring which contained most of his treasures that contains dense qi and threw it to theke where he spread them all out.
From the souls of other humans to resources he raided from different sects, Wang Ling was like a tyrant who threw his possession to ake turning theke into a literal treasure in of itself.
Wang Ling opened his eyes and kicked the stone he was sitting on and dove down the water. He dove down and sank deep into the river. The river had its flow, but he made sure not to let the treasures flow away from his grasp.
He bounded them close to him with his qi and began absorbing them without hesitation. The souls numbered at thousands and the treasures was the same?
Different types of qi entered his body. And the qi contained from the soul he was devouring was gathering on a single point and was being imbued by the angelic qi with its own properties.
The qi from the souls traveled to the serpent and the serpent assimted that qi. The more Wang Ling absorbed qi, from souls, the more he found that something was wrong.
Something from inside of him was beginning to change and as if the Heavens knew something was up, a gathering of lightning formed above the river he was in.
Lightning began to roll as nine bolts of lightning was seen hovering overhead. The students of the academy saw this and knew that something was up. A lightning tribtion had formed overhead and Wang Ling was the prime target of the tribtion.
Rumble! Lightning was rolling about and as Wang Ling drowned at the heat of his own mes, a bolt of lightning struck down from the heavens and bathed him with its radiance.
Boom!
The water surrounding him evaporated the moment the lightning was brought down. The grounds of the academy shook and the nearby students began to run away from the lightning tribtion.
An open space was carved on theke and turned most of his treasures and souls to dust. But Wang Ling could not care less about the treasures at the moment because his life was in danger.
This was not the time for him to be facing a tribtion. He was too preupied with his inner problems and now something else was creating trouble?
"Fuck!" He spat out a curse and looked at the heavens, "I have no time for you, tsk, I already have a problem and this thing is adding to that? This is not something I want to deal with right now"
But he could not finish his words because another bolt of lightning fell from the dark clouds.
Roar!
A roar echoed from deep within Wang Ling, a beast was disturbed, a dense killing intent that resembled that of a savage beast burst out.
"What is this? The serpent it is howling!" Wang Ling''s qi was rolling and the serpent deep within his Spirit Ocean was literally having life breathed into it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As three more bolts of lightning crashed onto his body and made the me serpent roar (hiss) in pain, Wang Ling was left to endure the full brunt of the mes and lightning.
Boom!
On the sixth bolt of lightning, the me serpent jolted. As if it had awoken, a bright dark light resembling that of the Hell mes appeared.
Boom!
At the seventh lightning, its body began to be more and more corporeal as it was beginning to turn alive.
On the eight lightning, I howled at the pain and in response to my pained howl, the serpent rushes out of the Spirit Ocean and traveled through my meridians. And as the ninth bolt of lightning descended, it escaped from my right hand and with a body asrge as ten meters, it wrapped itself around my body and shielded me from thest bolt of lightning.
Unwrapped itself and turned its head to Wang Ling, the white serpent lowered its head towards Wang Ling and rubbed it against his face.
"Father." A shaky voice was heard.
