Celestial Peak Chapter 262

The next day came and together the two went out of their way to go to the auction. They got nearer towards the auction house and the sounds of fireworks entered their ears.
Wang Ling was walking around the town wearing a bamboo hat and half a mask that hides his lower mouth. The bamboo hat hid his upper head and the mask managed to mask his face from the eyes of others.
The Auction House will start welcoming the VIPs at around noon so Wang Ling decided to leave early and enter the auction house as early as dawn. He entered after paying the fee and even when he arrived as early as possible, the lower floor meant for rogue cultivators and the commoners were already half occupied.
He went to take a sit on the back row of the open seats and began meditating until noon arrived when loud cheers echoed from outside. Wang Ling's senses already extended over the entire venue so it was easy for him to peer through the people entering.
Aside from the upper floors where a dangerous aura crept around, Wang Ling managed to secure eyes from where he sat. At this moment, Wang Ling smiled as he heard the call.
"From the Wang Family, The Spear Dragon of that dominates the younger generations, the Second Young Master of the Wang Family, Wang Hong has arrived to join the auction!" A loud announcement rang that gathered the attention of many.
Wang Hong waved his hands around and entered the auction house without doing much. He went and entered the Seventh VIP room prepared exclusively for the Wang Family Representative.
Despite Desolate Mi's incessant hate for Wang Shu Wing. The Desolate Clan still sends out a letter of invitation to the Wang Family to show a good public relation. It was not weird for a representative from the Wang Family to come to the Desolate Domain and join the auction.

It might seem weird that Wang Hong was joining the auction now while tension is arising from both sides. But now was the proper time to show that the Wang Family does not want any trouble (at least for now) to the world and if there is a war to break out then the one who most likely instigated that war would be the Desolate Clan.
A bold move from the Wang Family that tied down the hands of the Desolate Clan for quite a short while.
Wang Ling observed this and was smiling from ear to ear. With Wang Hong's arrival, his family secured quite some time of peace and all of this will help him later on and one of this help will show sooner than anyone might expect.
The one who came next was Qin Ao, the target of the day. Qin Ao broke through the boundaries of Saints and is now a first level Dominion Realm cultivator. With him was a Celestial King as an escort. His safety was taken as the top priority of the Qin Clan so a Celestial King as an escort and bodyguard was nothing short of useful and a necessity.
When Qin Ao entered the auction house he was haughty and proud of where he stands, but when he learned Wang Hong was present and learned of his cultivation strength, Qin Ao froze and quietly entered the fourth VIP room.
Soon after his arrival many people arrived and the VIPs who were expected to come have already arrived and it was already time for the auction to start.
The Auctioneer this time was a seasoned old man and as he stepped into the stage he calls battlefield his vigor rose as his voice echoed and reverberated in the ears of everyone present.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Desolate Era Auction House where only the most illustrious of treasures are sold. I can talk here all day and praise the treasures all day but only your eyes can ascertain of its value so I will not waste your time any longer and get this ball rolling!"
The old auctioneer waved his hand and a beautiful lady brought out a piece of item on top of a table. The treasure that first came out was known as the Dragon Tooth Sword, the sword of the Great Dragon Saint of the previous era.
At least that was how it was introduced as but Wang Ling knows the truth.
[They are selling a replica? I already destroyed the Dragon Tooth Sword so there can't be another one. Illustrious my ass, either they are faking this and scamming everyone present or they just can't see through the craftsmanship. I can see the spirit of the treasure to be fragmented, what a joke.]
Either way, Wang Ling's thoughts were kept as his own and was not spread to the populace who had their eyes at the Dragon Tooth Sword for the longest time. Because they can't see through the fake Dragon Tooth Sword it was bought by some unlucky bloke for 500,000 stellar stones.
There are appraisers who should be appraising the treasures being sold to the auction but one treasure managed to get past the meticulous appraisal of the auction house.
But what Wang Ling did not know was that the Dragon Tooth Sword that was sold was the true Dragon Tooth Sword. The original he had broken was reforged to become whole once more and it could have fooled most people that it was repaired to its peak because the aura and even the intent it possessed managed to be recovered by the blacksmith.
If this was the past it might have taken Wang Ling two looks in order to ascertain if the treasure was genuine or not, but right now he only needs a single glance. His eyes had already evolved to the point that he can see the spirits of the swords.
The manifestations of different swords' sharpness and the spirit or the soul imbued into it by the wielder can be peered into by Wang Ling's current eyes.
Wang Ling waited and watched the auction to continue and would stay quiet for most times until something catches his eyes. But as time went on and the only ones who can participate in the auction are the VIP people, he managed to disappear in the background of everything.
He did not want to bid any longer because he already got what he wanted, a place to watch over Qin Ao but as time went something caught Wang Ling's attention.
"One of tonight's main attraction, the item that only existed in legends an item born from the condensation of an Immortal's qi into a single place after his death. A very rare item retrieved from the Origin World, an Immortal Core!"

A New Beginning
Humans don't understand how someone can be both dead and alive, and that fact scares them, it opens up the possibility of a threat even if there is no evidence of malevolent intent. So, the only solution in the minds of humanity is to dominate and subjugate the unknown variable until it no longer has even the potential to be a threat. They choose to pretend that the unknown variable is lesser, that humanity is superior on no other grounds than that it's humanity. Danny had been stuck with the G.I.W for years when the Young Justice team rescued him. Broken, beaten, and none the wiser of the greater majority of humans, the humans with kindness in their eyes and light in their souls. He's been trapped in the darkness of greed and fear and violence for far too long, and what's left behind is a fractured mind and a trained weapon. Buried underneath that, however, is a young child who is scared and confused, a child that hasn't seen the light of day in years. That child never expected to see the bright side to existence, to see the light shine in the souls of the righteous. That all changed with one group of heroes, and one family of Bats.Cover doesn't belong to me.Cross-published on two other sites*Undergoing heavy editing, nothing plot-wise is changing, I am only editing grammar, mechanics, vocabulary, sentence variation, and formatting and overall I am just making it a more pleasant and refined read :) I am also deleting the A/Ns at the beginning and end of each chapter
