Celestial Peak Chapter 261
Advertisement
The time when Wang Ling left the Red Lands was also the time the man who achieved divinity went down from the Origin Worlds.
"As soon as I step out of the Origin World and the Borders what the hell do I see here? Wait, is that Ling'er? What is he doing here?" A man who came from the depths of the Red Lands stood hundreds of kilometers away observing the chaos brought upon by the temptation of acquiring the Emperor Jade Fruit.
But the thing that caught his attention, even more, was the young man quickly escaping to avoid the chaos. The youth was Wang Ling and upon seeing him a smile crept upon his face and said,
"Hehehe, I now have a reason why I don't have to go back."
He said as he thought of a beautiful woman with a mixed feeling of warmth and fear, "I am looking after him, she won't be mad with me doing this, right? Oh yeah, she should still be unaware about Ling'er's bloodline, I should tell her about it as soon as I get back. If she learns of it before I tell her…." He stopped thinking about the matter altogether and tailed Wang Ling from a distance where he won't be seen.
=====
Getting out of the inn after wearing a Gray Colored Mask that he himself carved out from a [Frost Dragon's Scale] he had lying around in his storage ring. The Frost Dragon Scale had been inside his storage ring for years and he reckoned it was about time he used it.
He had many more materials inside his Storage Ring and all of them are treasures he harvested from the Red Lands and the Beasts he massacred with Bai Xue. He left for the Desolate Era Auction House run by the Desolate Clan while wearing the mask.

He did not waste any time about worrying getting too much attention from a wearing mask created from the scales of a Frost Dragon.
[The Frost Dragon Scale is a good material that has good defensive capabilities and adding a few tweaks to it using simple runes and small scale array, it can also hide my facial features from any prying eyes.] Wang Ling was very meticulous, he was even more meticulous compared to when his first plan went to the drain.
Compared to the first time he tried to manipulate the Realm the stakes this time is higher. The lives of his family are at stake here and he doesn't dare gamble their lives. He must succeed in killing the threats to his family.
Walking up to the Desolate Era Auction House, Wang Ling asked to meet the supervisor auction house.
"I want to make a transaction with your Desolate Era Auction House. Bring me to your Supervisor."
"I cannot bring you to the supervisor dear customer. Unless you have a VIP Card or is willing to make a transaction with a Grade-4 Treasures or higher then I can bring you to the Supervisor. If you are dealing with low-level treasures then head over to the counter like everyone else."
Snickers and scoffs could be heard from all sides. They were looking at Wang Ling as if he was some arrogant bastard who does not know of his place. Not caring about their thoughts, Wang Ling twisted his wrist and brought out a single Emperor Jade Fruit.
The attendant shook her head as she said, "An Emperor Jade Fruit is indeed precious but it still lacks value."
"Stop bothering the attendant you cheap bastard. Leave this place already, you're only embarrassing yourself!" Another customer shouted out loud.

Wang Ling ignored him and once again brought out a Grade-3 Treasure. It was a beast core of a Grade-7 Beasts. The attendant became more and more irritated to Wang Ling by the minute. She creased her brows and was about to kick him out of the auction house for disrupting business, but her eyes widened after a few short seconds.
"Sorry, Mr. customer no matter how many you… bring… out…. Thi—This is, Demonic Blood Flower, King Earth Fruit, Heavenly Inkstone, Dragon Aura Sandalwood …" She began reciting the peak Grade-3 Treasure Wang Ling keeps taking out of his storage ring as if it was normal.
A small hill formed beside Wang Ling and this small hill was quite frankly a mountain of treasure that could rival and even surpass a Grade-4 treasure if combined together. The sheer number of treasures he had collected over the years of roaming and killing had finally borne fruit,
Combined to it Bai Xue's weird but useful ability to sense treasure, Wang Ling and Bai Xue managed to gather a lot of treasures from the Red Lands. These treasures do not have much use to them so they do not feel anything towards selling them for auction.
The attendant looked at Wang Ling with fright and immediately bowed her head and apologized, "Please forgive this lowly one if I may have offended such a valued guest such as yourself, what I have said does not represent the Auction House's stance please do not leave. Please follow me, I shall lead you to the Head of the Auction House."
Wang Ling followed the attendant and left the stupefied onlookers. The one who just ridiculed Wang Ling was not being subjected to ridicule himself.
"Please enter this room, the one who will meet you is inside. I have already informed them of your intentions for coming so rest assured they will be able to accommodate you without any problem." The attendant said.
Wang Ling entered the room and he met with an old man. The meeting was not as long as expected because Wang Ling did not idle around with casual conversations. He sold three billion stellar stones worth of treasures in a single day. He did not worry about getting troubled about the matter regarding being tailed and killed for his treasures because when Wang Ling left he quickly evaded the eyes of the Desolate Clan sent out to tail him before changing his outfit and then returning to his inn inconspicuously.
Because he left the inn without the mask on, he did not attract much attention to himself when he entered.
Night came and Wang Ling together with Bai Xue cultivated together and pushed to Late Dominion Realm by forcing treasures into their body. It would have been a waste but because of their strong foundation, Wang Ling and Bai Xue did not experience any backlash.
And because of their advancement, Wang Ling and Bai Xue added layer on their disguise. No one other than them can do something like this after all.

Dreamland
Dolores is a lucky girl with a high-level avatar in a very popular game. She did not level it up; she got it through some fortunate circumstances. She is not interested in fighting and levelling; all she wants is to have some fun and follow her own fantasies. If only there would not be all those idiots who intend to kill her, capture her, or simply use her. And those flaws in the game! Wait, what? Those pesky game characters now appear in the real world? And they can do magic? How did this happen? Adding to her troubles, her crush does not even look at her. As Dolores tries only to survive and hide between 'normal' people, she encounters stranger and stranger things that force her hand and, in the end, she has the answers to a lot of questions. It is a slow-developing story. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope to share it with you, dear reader if you also enjoy it. On the other hand, putting it in an acceptable form requires much work and energy. I intend to bring it to its end and not let it unfinished. I hate it when I encounter unfinished stories, so I understand the feeling. This is not a classical isekai story. There is travel between the two worlds, and the game world seems to be so very real... well, this is one plot of the story. This is not an MMORP game story. Part of the action happens inside a game world, but it is treated as a real world. Updates on a weekly basis, at least Monday and Friday, with additional bonus chapters as time and energy allow. Cover art: White Flower as A Dark Fairy by Darkrealmsmaiden Yolanda gracefully allowed me to use her dark fairy as cover. There are many more beautiful works of art to be discovered at her site: https://www.deviantart.com/darkrealmsmaiden Additional Grammar Trigger Warning: As a non-native speaker, I do my best. Unfortunately, this is not enough for people with a low tolerance for warped sentences and... they may want to skip the story :( Well, you have been warned :) I appreciate it when a reader points out a sentence that needs rework. That may spare a follow-up reader some pain and helps me understand where my English grammar problems are. * We thought we made the best game in Earth's history We thought we made the best interfaces ever seen We thought we made it - lifelike But it far exceeded our expectations. Dolores, I hope you're happy now. I hope you're alive now...
