Celestial Peak Chapter 276

"Yao (Devil), I will take my leave for a brief moment, I need to deal with something." Bai Xue called upon Wang Ling and then left. Grand Elder Cisha observed her leaving and then stared at her beautiful figure disappearing into the distance.
"Is that beautiful companion of yours your Wife, sir Devil?" Grand Elder Cisha asked with a smile on his face.
Wang Ling answered in a nonchalant tone of voice, "She is my dear partner, but we do not have such a relationship. She might kill if she heard your words, please refrain from speaking of such things."
"I apologize for being so nosy then. Well, then, let us hurry over to the Academy's Devil Hall. The Principal is waiting for us there, he had been wanting to meet with you ever since receiving that time you first sent us your blood all those years ago. But just to make sure, that was also you, correct?"
Wang Ling smiled and then nodded his head, "That was me indeed, I just wanted to let you guys know of my existence then. I have been doing some things so I have lost touch of you, but now I am here to talk about the future of the Devil Path and how we can make it flourish."
Grand Elder Cisha's face beamed, "Yes, of course." He then brought Wang Ling over to the Devil Hall to meet the Principal. And because they were Celestials, they quickly sped away.

In the inn where Xie San was staying in, he was currently recovering from experiencing the power of the bastard True Devil King.
"Dammit, this is humiliating. Who was that man? Is that the Devil of the Dark Domain? I thought he was only a True Devil General, why is it a True Devil King just like the Master?"

He never thought that there would be other True Devil Kings in the realm. The inheritance that his Master managed to acquire after arduous trials was something that belonged to an Ancient True Devil King.
"According to the Master, the True Devil King's Mini World was created by the Holy Race and should be the only one in the realm. It was tucked away in the little Continent of Blazing Wing and was meant to be a secret place, so how did another True Devil King managed to appear in this era? Did he come from the Portal? No, the portal has yet to be opened!"
"Shishi, a Portal? Tell me more about what that is."
A sweet voice interrupted Xie San's ramblings and he in turned around in order to see who managed to sneak inside his room. But before he could turn around, a hand grabbed him by the next and held him to the wall.
"Y—you!" Xie San saw the red Phoenix mask of that person and remembered the person who was with the True Devil King.
He did not expect her to make a move. He tried taking out his weapons, but an excruciating pain surfaced as both his arms were broken and torn off his body. He tried to scream but the woman stuffed his severed hands to his mouth in order to shut him up.
"Be quiet. Listen to me, you will answer me or else I will kill you, don't try call for help I have taken care of your men in a kilometer radius. Now, tell me, what did you mean about a Portal?"
This Red Phoenix masked woman was no other Bai Xue. She made her move just before they entered the academy in order to make sure that every men of Xie San would be taken care of and will be dead before they even try to leave this place.

Bai Xue's timing was really good as she managed to hear something truly interesting from Xie San. She was planning to kill him right away, but it seems like he will have to suffer for a long time.
"Speak, or else I will make sure you suffer the most excruciating pain you will experience in your whole life." Bai Xue said these words and then took out the severed hands from his mouth in order to let him speak.
Xie San spat out the blood that entered his mouth and then without a moment's hesitation, he tried activating his bloodline while delivering a kick to Bai Xue. A single pair of wings sprouted out of his back and then his feet traveled in an extremely fast manner, "DIE!" he roared.
Bai Xue saw this and frowned, but she did not panic. Instead, she calmly raised her hands and then had her frost qi to extend out of her body. It struck the left of the already weak Xie San and froze it in mere seconds.
Crash!
His feet froze and then broken to many pieces. These frost attribute of Bai Xue's qi was taken from a legitimate Frost Dragon. It had grown stronger than ever before.
Xie San screamed out in pain once again. Bai Xue then spoke, "You are being difficult here, shishi, well, we do have a lot of time." Bai Xue smiled in a devilish manner and extended her hands to Xie San's wings, she grabbed it and then said, "Speak."
Xie San spat on her face and then cursed at her, "Screw you."
Bai Xue ripped one of his wings apart. He tried to scream, but his severed hands once again stopped him from letting out his pained screams. Xie San's pain was just starting, "I know other methods to torment you, well, even if you don't tell me the truth, I'll just subject you to never-ending torture."
=====
In the Wang Family's Main House, Butler Sun was with Qimi making preparations for the next operation that will be started in a month's time.
"Qimi, what is the status of the Qin Clan?"
"Reporting, the Desolate Clan have made their moves to protect their lands. After our meddling, war will start any moment now, we just need to create a proper spark. I think killing a member of the Desolate Clan's intermediate Family member will spark the war, what will we do?"
Butler Sun sighed, "Kill the Young Miss of the Desolate Clan, she is near the borders of the Qin Clan correct? But it shouldn't be us who will do it, inform the Qin Clan about it and move accordingly, as for I, I'll leave in a weak, the Grand Light Phoenix had been found. The Yan Clan's Clan Head is asking for our assistance."
"Understood, I wish you the best. Oh, the Young Miss is said to interest in attending Heaven's Will Academy, she asks to leave in four days' time. Also, I already informed the Academy of the matter and they said they will bring escorts for her, what shall we do?"
Butler Sun shook his head, "Have the Mistress decide over the matter, just inform her of it. While you are at it, see to it if Qisa is still keeping himself locked in the library. If he is free, then tell him to meet me, it is about time we start the war with the Mu Clan."

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
