Martial Peak: Origin Chaos Emperor

Xia Ning Chang thought and answered, "it would still take me about 10-15 days."

Meng Wu Ya hummed, "considering that the 12th one is used for regulating spiritual energy, the time seems justified for even you.... When you have time, go tell that brat that I agreed."

..... (~Timeskip 35 days~)

Wang Feng has been practicing the Divine Meridian Foundation Technique for most of the day, continuously for the past 35 days. Today was the day he had successfully opened the 11th Meridian.

"*Hah* *Hah* *Hah* *Huuee* finally!!", Wang Feng exclaimed as he fell to the ground on his back. He continued to breathe deeply as he laid on the ground and looked at the dusky sky, his eyes unfocused.

" *Haah* Just like I had thought. My talent is low, but I was still able to open these Meridians.... Most likely because of the Unyielding Golden Skeleton and some kind of Blessing for creating this new system..."

During the last 5 days, Wang Feng had felt that he had reached a limit of sort and couldn't enter the 11th Stage. But he persisted and just before the 11th Meridian opened, he felt a wave of energy from the skeleton and his surroundings, as if the two were helping him in completing the task.

According to his estimation, one needs to have at least the talent to reach Saint to open the 10th Meridian, Saint King to open the 11th Meridian and Origin Returning Realm to open the 12th Meridian.

The Unyielding Golden Skeleton was able to help him because Wang Feng's connection has only strengthened with it with time, along with the fact that it was actually of Saint King Grade, even though it was in a weakened state right now.

"...if I want to enter the 12th stage ... I would likely need another boost or a miracle... *Hah*", he looked into the space while muttering this to himself. His thoughts then drifted to Xia Ning Chang.

27 days ago, Xia Ning Chang successfully opened the 12th Meridian. 23 days ago, she successfully condensed the 12th pulse. 2 days ago, she successfully condensed her Qi to the point it was equivalent to the 4th Stage Qi Sea Realm, the Ocean Stage. This had given her a massive increase in strength.

And now, she was trying to reach the 5th Stage Qi Sea Realm, Divine Sea Realm. Wang Feng believed that it would take more than a month for her to reach that stage.

It was at times like these during which he felt that he wasn't the one with cheats. But it was also moments like these that drove him further towards his goal of strengthening and evolving himself.

As he laid there and thought to myself, he unknowingly fell asleep. When he came to, it was already late into the night, the moon shining up in the sky.

Wang Feng opened his eyes and stretched his limbs while laying down, "that *Ahnn* was a great sleep... *Yawn*.", he sat up while yawning. "Huh?", as he sat up, he was that there was a bonfire built near him that burned and provided him heat.

But that wasn't the important thing. What his focus, or more like who his focus was on, was an old man with a long beard sitting on the other side of the flame. The old man was someone he recognized, but wasn't supposed to know him, having not met the man personally.

"You're awake...", the old man said in a low tone, his eyes were closed as he sat there meditatively. Wang Feng maintained his character and chuckled wearily before greeting the old man.

"Ordinary Disciple Wang Feng greets Senior!", the old man just nodded and opened his eyes slowly. "Hmm, a talent indeed... Brother Meng wasn't exaggerating."

Wang Feng put on a confused look, which was still an act, "please don't mind senior, but this junior doesn't recognize you. Since you know Treasurer Meng, are you an elder of the sect?"

The old man chuckled softly, "correct young man, I am a member of High Heaven Pavilion, you can call me eleventh elder.", Wang Feng nodded and didn't bother pointing out the fact that High Heaven Pavilion only had five elders, excluding Meng Wu Ya that is.

"So it is eleventh elder.... Umm.. can elder tell me what you meant before.", Wang Feng asked with genuine confusion this time. Being unaware of himself being observed randomly by the two old man, he didn't think that this 'eleventh elder' and Old Meng would talk about him.

The old elder hummed and spoke, "Brother Meng told me about your talent and said that you will grow to be very strong. Now, seeing your ... Situation, I can see what he meant."

Wang Feng obviously knew what the old elder meant by the 'situation', but he chose not to comment on it. Seeing this, the elder also didn't mention it. Wang Feng then asked after a moment of silence.

"Elder... Why are here so late, do you live near here?", Wang Feng asked. The old elder shook his head and asked Wang Feng while looking at the crater, "Little Feng, do you know how this stream came to be?"

Wang Feng knew but answered negatively. After that, the elder told him the story of the Ancestor of the sect and how he made the sect and this restricted area, using a Yang energy treasure. After the explanation was over, there was a silence for a few moments before Wang Feng asked.

"So ... Elder came here to find the treasure?", the old elder shook his head and replied, "No, this old man was here to just meet someone.", the old elder said as he stood beside the edge of the stream and looked into its depth.

"Meet someone?", Wang Feng asked in fake puzzlement. The elder looked into the depth for a few seconds before he turned and started to walk away, "Don't think too much, child. Just focus on your cultivation."

Wang Feng looked at the 'eleventh elder's' retreating back and felt the this old man was quite unfortunate. He muttered in a low voice, which only he could hear, "Ling Taixu. The eleventh generation sect master of High Heaven Pavilion. Master of Yang Ying Feng and Yang Bai, grandmaster of Yang Kai."

'this man is too unfortunate. He accepted two desciples in his life. Both were different, one became a righteous person while the other became a devil cultivator. One was from a super family, so he couldn't become the sect master, while the other was expelled. Both desciples fought each other, causing one to be crippled by the other's hand, while the second one was crippled by his own master. Leaving this man with a void in his heart...'

Wang Feng sighed as his thoughts ended as he continued to look into the flames of the bonfire. He then took out some food from his inventory and cooked it on the fire before eating.

"After condensing the 11th pulse, I should go out of the sect to explore. I also need to find a monster beast to fight a real battle.", he decided on what he needs to do. Ever since he entered the sect, even before his memories were awakened, he hadn't left the sect even once.

So he wanted to explore the outside world a bit and also gain real battle experience. As things were now, he was compared to a flower in the green house. So he need to fight through life-threatening experiences to temper himself.

'Plus, who knows, I might even get a treasure to help me complete 'that'.', he thought to himself before he closed his eyes and started condensing his 11th pulse.

~Timeskip (5 days)~

The warm rays of sunlight fell on Wang Feng's body as he sat in his place with his eyes closed as Qi revolved around him and his body was covered by a faint redish aura, though it could only be seen if one paid close attention.

He has been sitting in this place for hours now, fully condensing the 11th pulse. Suddenly, a burst of energy exploded out of him.

The faint aura around him strengthened greatly, to such a degree that it was visible to the naked eyes. His presence was suddenly increased by many fold, which would make even mid stage Initial Element Realm Cultivators feel inferior.

Wang Feng slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a foul breath. He looked at his hand and the red aura around him in amazement. "This. Not only has my blood Qi increased in volume, it has also been condensed to a fine degree..."

He then stood up, causing popping sound from his body, "... Not only that, my body feels even stronger. And...", He willed and gathered the red aura onto his hand, which suddenly started to cover his fist as a extra layer.

He then thrusted his hand out, "Vacuum Palm!", the red layer on his palm exploded and a violent wave of red energy wave traveled to a few tens of meters in the air before disappearing.

'Fascinating, the effects of the strikes are atleast 10 times that of before.', he thought to himself with a shine in his eyes. He then looked around for a moment before muttering, "It's time to go..."

He then willed the aura to retreat into his body and took all his things before leaving the Coiling Dragon Stream. As he walked through the forest, he muttered, "Status..."

'.... Finally reached the Qi Transformation Realm strength.', he thought as he exited the forest and walked towards the Treasurer Hall. There he met and talked to Meng Wu Ya for a few minutes, before he collected a few things and left for the sect mission hall.

Since, he was an Ordinary Desciple, he couldn't just leave the sect whenever he wants to. So, he needs to accept a mission which would give him a valid reason to leave the sect.

After entering the Mission Hall, he quickly searched through the missions on the board and took a mission of picking a few herbs that could be found in the nearby mountain, the Black Wind Mountain.

After that, he left the sect for the first time. He walked through the gates of the sect and looked ahead of him at the steps that lead down the mountain and smiled before he started descending.
